Atlus has announced that a playable demo will be released for their upcoming JRPG Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan. This demo will allow players to experience "a lengthy portion of the beginning of the game". The playable demo will be available for download from the eShop from February 7th, more than two weeks before the game's full release. I've always had an interest in the Etrian Odyssey games but they do seem rather bizarre, so a demo would be a great way to see if this one is really for me.

Etrian Odyssey IV will be available on February 26th both digitally via the eShop and physically via retail stores. Only by snagging a physical copy of the game can you get the awesome art-book and soundtrack bonuses, though.
