The latest batch of info and screenshots.

Atlus has released new Etrian Odyssey V: The End of the Long Myth information and screenshots, introducing the game’s Master and Titles system, and more character skills.

Get the information below.

■ Master and Titles
Within the council, a skillful adventurer who has cleared certain conditions is acknowledged as a “Master.” Adventurers who become Masters can learn “Master Skills,” which are high-level techniques within their class. There are two types of Master Skill trees, and players can freely select the option with the skills they want to learn. Your options in this instance are known as the “Two Titles.”

When becoming a Master in the case of the Fencer class, you can choose between “Phantom Swordsman” title, which specializes in obtaining evasion and speed skills (like “Phantom Sword Dance” and “Sharp Thrust”), or the “Thunderclap Swordsman,” which specializes in obtaining combo attack skills (like “Resonance” and “Chain Killer”).

Players can also edit the actual name of the title they choose.
It is best to choose your title while considering what skills you want to learn and how they will balance out among your party.
