- Etrian Odyssey series discussion with director Shigeo Komori
- celebrating the 10th anniversary of the series this year
- Komori feels that each of his titles are culminations of the experience and knowledge he has gained up to that point
- in August 4, 2016 issue of Weekly Famitsu magazine (the same date as the Japanese release date of Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth), he stated that he had not yet decided what would lie in the future for the series
- after seeing fan opinions, Komori realized that there are certain aspects of the series where he had been too obsessed with coming up with something new every time
- 10th anniversary of the series brings about the recent launch of Etrian Mystery Dugneon 2, as well as the release of various merchandise
- alongside that, Komori sees more and more opinions from series fans on social media
- On currently developing a new Etrian Odyssey game: ''In order to meet the expectations of these fans, I would like to deliver a ''festival''-like game that can be said to be another culmination [of the series]. That’s the feeling I have, and I am currently developing a new game.''
- Last game with button screen according to developer: ''This is the last game in the series that will have a map to be drawn on the bottom screen on the Nintendo 3DS. For specifics, I hope that you can wait until the day when we can officially announce it.''
