The June 17th release of Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard for the Nintendo DS is right around the corner! The sequel to last year's 3D dungeon-crawling role-playing cult classic sounds like a dream for fans of the series -- more classes, improved mapping capabilities, and new force Skills.

If you're drooling over that, get this -- Atlus and Destructoid are teaming up to offer a few lucky winners some killer Etrian Odyssey prize packages. We're talking the guy kind of stuff that will make any JRPG fan's head spin. Check it out: 

Grand Prize winner:
One female protector figurine; one signed 3-disc soundtrack (signed by composer Yuzo Koshiro); one copy of rare preorder-only-in-japan piano arrangement soundtrack; one copy of orchestrated arrangement soundtrack; one signed copy of Etrian Odyssey II (signed by director Shigeo Komori)

Runners-up:
Three folks would get a copy of the game AND a copy of the 3-disc soundtrack

Second runners-up:
Five folks would get a copy of the 3-disc soundtrack

We considered keeping all of this stuff for ourselves, but then we wouldn't be able to sleep at night. Winning is easy: simply create a community blog detailing your most memorable experience associated with the original Etrian Odyssey. It could be about anything from a particularly brutal encounter with a FOE, to something about your favorite character.

Simply create a c-blog with "Tales of Etrian Odyssey" in the title, and let 'er rip!  Don't have a community blog on Destructoid? Signing up is easy and free! We'll be accepting submissions through Friday, June 13 -- good luck!
