Class of Heroes - Atlus PSP 1st person dungeon crawler

The 1st person perspective dungeon hack RPG is definitely on the resurgence and I must say I'm thrilled.
From an email Atlus just sent me:
"What do you think of when someone, some random stranger, says the term "dungeon-crawler?" Well, aside from, "Why exactly is a stranger talking to me about video games?" or, "This person seems a little strange," your next thoughts might include: first-person RPG action, deep character and party customization, a fun premise, a story that you get to tell as much as it is told for you, etc.
The twist with Class of Heroes is that you're actually a student in an academy for adventurers, and each subject mastered and quest solved is a step towards your graduation into full-fledged dungeon masterdom. What's more, you'll be hard-pressed to find a handheld RPG with more content than Class of Heroes: over five hundred character possibilities, over a thousand items to collect or craft, hundreds of foes to defeat, and over 80 hours of hardcore, tried-and-true gameplay translate into a heck of a lot of RPG goodness. Worried about battery life? Don't be; you can save at any time. How's that for convenient."
As a big fan of Etrian Odyssey and Mana Khemia, I must say that this looks very promising.

Like I said before, this would need to have a good auto-map solution—that's one of the things I like about Etrian Odyssey.
Though this looks like anime-, Wizardry-inspired awesome.
Edit: This is for PSP, right?
...I like the sounds of this.
Arcana!
I loved the shit out of that game, and I had completely forgotten it until now. I guess my recent fondness from Etrian Odyssey isn't so spontaneous after all.
