I've been tinkering with genres of games that I've not really delved into before... as of late I've been pondering getting into RPGs. I'm already planning on picking up Dragon Quest 9, but I've also become interested in possibly picking up Etrian Odyssey 3 (of course, the promise of a kick-ass art book for pre-ordering doesn't hurt). I already know what I'll be getting into with Dragon Quest, but I know next to nothing about the Etrian Odyssey series. Is it a series that's easy to get into, or is it something that requires a big commitment to learn to play? Keeping in mind of course that my main experience with RPGs has been the Pokemon and Mario RPG/Paper Mario series... would Etrian Odyssey be something I would enjoy, or regret ever picking up?
