That's most likely Atlus JPs fault.

>>376480272
To be fair they've never not gotten a western release and as far as I've aware they've been dead silent to the western fans who supported the franchise very well. EOV isn't my favorite, but it's definitely think most EO fans would love to play it so I don't know why Atlus is burning bridges to prioritize shit like visual novels over their own titles.

Maybe EO just doesn't sell enough for them? I could have swore 2u did well in US markets anyway.

Really been thinking about getting just so it can go alongside this. But fuck them for including an anniversary edition with the shittiest of spinoffs they could have gone with.

>>376481694
Even if they do end up localizing it, Atlus USA would never do a limited edition of this size. The best they've ever done was for Persona 5 and that was because it's fucking Persona.
>>
>>376481694
I really wish they'd localized EOV earlier so I would have some idea of whether or not they would localize the collector's packs. I imported EOV's as well back when it released, because I just figured they never would.

Didn't EOV suck and was apparently super easy and casual?

>>376482054
It's not nearly as easy as IV was, but it's just as easy as many other EO games to abuse your way through with certain setups.

Or maybe it's the fault of weeaboo feggits who scream for a localization and then wait for it to drop to 20 bucks before buying it.

If EO had a big impact in the west we wouldn't be in this position.
>>
>>376482054
Nah, I mean it's not too hard but it's not as broken as 4 was, nor does it have all the broken goodies from Untold. It doesn't really bust your balls until post-game, so far as the main quest goes it's an okay challenge. Overall experience is pretty enjoyable, moreso if you like the classic approach to the franchise. 8 outta 10 would buy again.
>>
>>376480674

People actually buy Vita games though.
I want EOV too but false-flagging against Caligula and Utawarerumono is retarded and only stunts Atlus' progress in localizing, if any.
>>
>>376482280

This. People don't want EOV in the west. They just want EOV in english so they can pirate it.

Being easily breakable is a side effect of good customization and the game providing a lot of options.

Every time Final Fantasy went with a Job System it was incredibly broken if you figured it out.
Same for every single SMT ever.

I'm pirating it just to play the undub version (I'm damn sure they will pull their shitty VAs for this too) but I'm still buying it at full price.

>>
>>376483020
>Reflecting this hard?

If I was wrong it'd have been localized by now.
Unfortunately 3DS hacking has been prominent and even normies know about it.
I doubt a niche title like EOV will ever be localized now.
>>
>>376482868
Well it has great customization like most of the series, I just don't think it's as busted as 4's was. All the classes I used were really nice and useful. The only thing I'd say to watch out for is not to use too many builds relying on the new partner spaces, or the redundancy will hurt your team.

>>376482972
On a related note if eo5 isn't announced at e3, the dream is more than likely dead and no EO for west.

>They still localized all 3 DS games

That's because the DS had an absolutely massive install-base.
The 3DS is nowhere close to the DS in sales and EO games have been sharply declining in the West. Even Caligula was a better investment as it can't be pirated and it would be literally pure profit after 10k units sold.

Different production costs. EO was a bare-minimum experience and it garnered an audience that allowed for more quality production.

I really hope Atlus doesn't listen to all the shitters complaining about P5's localization.

In a 150 Hour Game I don't care much for a grammatical error here and there that my brain will correct while reading anyway.
What I do care about is getting the actual translation of what characters are saying and not a western interpretation of it.

My understanding of spoken japanese is incredibly basic but shit like FFXIV where even I can make out that the translation is just fucking wrong on many accounts and pulls shit like renaming an organization called "Blue Hand" into "Illuminati" and randomly insert jokes about Cheese (??) where there was hardly any comedic relief in the first place is just annoying to sit through.

Well there's no point in arguing about it since they didn't elaborate on it, but Canada doesn't exist in EO, that's a fact because of the map we got from EO3 with the buccaneers on it. The earth in EO is mostly covered in water with islands scattered around, and Armoroad is reference in EOU so we can assume it's still the same earth as EO3's.

So far EO3 is largely separate.
We don't know how they'll change it if they bring it into the EO4/EOU lore line, so anything it is kind of separate for now.
(e.g. they changed the landscape of 2 and the reasoning behind the Ur-Child, they retconned it into having specifically 7 trees, each with a core, and that conflicts with the Yggdrasil from space in 3. Sure they could exist concurrently, but the core aspect really brings into question how they'll handle the established lore). It's feasible that Canada could exist, given the areas that they establish as still present.

I say those are all just left over names. Yeah Japan exists, on the old surface which is 30 floors downward, however deep that actually is I don't know, yet on the new surface there's nothing that shows something might have been left over from there, other than the fact that the currency is called EN, which is how you say yen in Japanese(えん). I seriously can't find the image with the map, apparently it doesn't exist on the internet anymore. But what they say about Armoroad in EOU2 (the southern city) doesn't contradict what's on that map (it's more southeast than south but whatever)

Given how the Yggdrasil trees vary in growth and how much they consume the land around them (i.e. continent wide to as small as a mountain sized) I would say it probably has less to do with Canada being lost beneath the waves but rather one of the North American region Yggdrasil likely consumed the continent, or at least part of it. Drastic landmass change is seen to occur, such as in Etria, so it isn't infeasible.

Only if it's actually balanced, a third of that game's classes are unusable or subpar save exploiting the hell of the RNG. Stuff like arbalist's TP being bottom of the barrel for most of the game with abilities that cost half of it even on the first level, Prince/ss being overshadows by Monks using them as subclasses, and don't even get me started on Yggdroids and Farmers.

If it does come I really hope they give it their all, Armoroad's atmosphere was something else compared to the rest of the series, and that first stratum was excellent. The first Lynx encounter on BF1 is probably the most tense encounter in the EO series.

Most parties if built carefully should hold their own eventually, but Wildling summons directly conflicts with Ninja copies which are very useful, so you end up with little incentive to use those.

Gladiator + Hoplite + Buccaneer + Monk + Zodiac should hold out as a solid party for most of the game. Zodiac's output starts to go down around mid-late game, but some smart subclassing should help it hold on. Buccaneer can spam utility skills non-stop which helps random encounters. Gladiator/Hoplite/Monk is your standard Damage/Tank/Healing Combo. You could maybe switch out Monk for Prince/ss and maybe stick the buccaneer on the back row with a gun but I don't know how effective those are. Ninjas are good, and can act as TP batteries but their clones take valuable extra space that can be used by a Hoplite's clone.

Unlike EO2, it's hard to find a cookie cutter main game party because subclassing throws party making out of control.

I have zero imagination and I don't have autistic thoughts about "what my party eats or feels during an escape". I just like grinding and seeing numbers get bigger. EO is perfect for this. At first, you're weak sauce, the most calm hare can kill you. There's big enemies on the overmap that are called FOEs. They'll rip you a new one. But eventually, you'll level up enough and unlock enough skills to take them head on. Then you'll feel good and the game gives you dat dopamin rush we all crave for. Then you enter the next dungeon and the circle begins anew

Most of EO games are sold out here and if there is, it isn't a lot of copies left. Games drop 15 euro at best and never more than that because it enters a scarcity stage, which causes it to peak up to new price. I don't think the games sold bad in physical copies. Which makes me really wonder why Atlus is being fags with EOV. EOIV has also been a little while ago.

I'm just as impatient announcement as many others here. I hope I don't get forced to mod my 3ds and download em games, I like'em physical...for pretty much all I play.

You shouldn't ever really need to grind in EO, unless it's for the end of endgame.
>>
>>376498696
That's a lie and you know it. If you fucked up something in your skill trees and you are absolutely getting fucked by bosses, you'll be forced to rest and lose levels. I've been playing EO since the beginning of the series on the DS and it happened to me in EOU2 expert on the final boss, but thankfully I really didn't need to grind up to 2 levels, I just had to be smarter on were to allocate points once I knew the fight

It really isn't, just know where you're going to put your points in advance. Levels don't make so much of a difference as having up to date gear and whatever counter gimmick you need in the later games.

The game hides a lot of information from you and tries to surprise you often. Grinding is required since you're able to make so many different characters, and many people create duds the first time around.

Kind of, but not really. It was my first EO experience, but even following a walkthrough I couldn't progress through the first floor because I had no idea how I was supposed to use the skill points and map the dungeon, couldn't even figure out how I was supposed to heal my party since I was using a princess and not a monk. I even tried cheating to boost my team up in levels but turns out even times a big number the first floor shitters don't give that much exp, so I dropped the game.

Gave the series another try on Untold's demo, and Simon already having points into Cure helped me get through beginner's retardation. I think what ended up making me buy the game was 1st stratum's theme plus that one event on B2F where a soldier gives your party a daily picnic. After EOU I went back and played III and IV. They're good games.

>>
>>376500127
For example how much each skill point is worth and the value of buffs/debuffs, which takes some trial and error. Considering you generally get one point per level, it takes a long time to calculate the difference. Never mind the long list of skills to choose from, new players also have to find for themselves which classes will work. You're meant to test these things out yourself, and it can take a long time. Diminishing values is BS though.

Meh, the only good party member was Trand. Chloe wasn't as bad I expected her to be, meat loving lolis are okay in my book, but that's about it.
Raquna was the best grill in the first game, but Le Milenom Girl was okay too. Plus I actually liked the Highlander, despite him being a blank slate self-insert protagonist. There's something about this highlander "justice for all" that resonated with me.
But more importantly, EO2 labyrinth was absolute SHIT.

They really went with the whole "taking EO back to its roots" approach in V. No shitty multiple dungeons, no multiclassing. So your starting party matters more now, but still offers plenty of customization options with advanced class specialization.

Only persona who never played EO5 would say something like this
Gameplay and class wise it's definitely like EO3/4 with fun "everything viable" class composition and without any old EO gabage like shit tier skill trees and uninspired eou2 style maps

3D obviously. The graphics are actually kinda worse than in the Untold games for some reason. At least the draw distance is super short.
