Now, the map-making tools on the 3DS’s second screen render these obsolete, at least when it comes to tracking your explorations. Years ago, RPG players drew maps on graph paper and made notes as they explored. For those of us who have been delving these deep dungeons for 12 years, it’s like that last Double-Stuffed Oreo in the bag. If it sounds overwhelming to an Etrian Odyssey rookie, I imagine it is.
