Topic: Hidden Class In Etrian Odyssey Nexus (Alucard rip-off or...?)

[Nagumo]

So recently players discovered a hidden class in Etrian Odyssey several months after the game released. How does relate to Castlevania you ask? Well...

(click to show/hide)

It's a straight up Alucard rip-off. The question is whether or not Konami approved this or not. If they did, that might have some interesting implications... 

[Inccubus]

To be honest there is very little about Alucard that Konami could rightfully copyright.
They can't copyright the name, that's from one of the Dracula films.

But, yeah, that class is a definite homage if not an approved easter egg.

[Shiroi Koumori]

Nah, it's ok. A homage is great. At least, people don't forget.

Malice Mizer did song called “月下の夜想曲” (gekka no yasoukyoku), which was also the Japanese title of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.  Also, when Gackt started his solo career, in his video for the song "Mizerable", he wore an Alucard costume (which was made into a ball joined doll by the company who makes Pullip)

Is this a playable character?  Is this (or the rest of the game) interesting enough that I should check it out?

[Nagumo]

Yeah, it's a playable class.  It's hidden, though. There's no consensus on what exactly you have to do to unlock it, last time I heard. If you like old dungeon crawlers like Wizardry, you might like this.
