It's cute

I can't, looks terrible

Why are Japanese EO class names so fucking stupid?

Impossible.

>>385893295
what's the problem?
are they even female?
they look more like robots.

>>385894062
What, you don't like Phalanx and Beast King either?

>>385894304
Hoplite/Phalanx are both good and Beast King is alright but I prefer Wildling. But then you get stupid shit like Andro (Yggdroid), Ballista (Arbalest), Cestus (Pugilist), Hound (Rover), and fucking Pet (Beast).

Too bad they were piece of shit.

Still got one but I basicaly had a four pan party while the robot was doing whatever.

I like the male ones. Pretty neat looking.

>>385893295
potato

They were awful, if they at least looked like the actual female yggdroid you see, thye'd be good, but noipe, males are cool bots and females are whatever.
Still used one as immortal tank with core dump.

>>385893295
I cant choose which one I love more, bottom left or bottom right

They look so good
Fuck the shitty looking humanoid ones

>>385893295
They established the feminine Yggdroids to have humanoid faces with Olympia (who had such a face to fool early game players into thinking she was a human/elf/whatever). They're assumedly a similar model of Yggdroid and thus they gave them human female faces.

>>385893295
It's a newer model of Olympia's design. The biggest difference is the belly plate actually, Olympia only looked like an evil robot skeleton because she lacked the belly plate. They have a similar spine based body behind the plate. As far as robot girls go they aren't actually that bad, but the melee weapon armed males look better overall due to the robotic knight aesthetic compared to the robotic human disguise aesthetic of the ranged female style.

>>385894576
ballista and arbalest are both types of bows and cestus is an armored glove you can punch with. how are those stupid?

>>385896223
'Arbalest' is both the name of the archer and the weapon he carries. Ballista is just the weapon. Calling a class 'Cestus' is the same as calling your class 'Sword.' Pugilist makes sense because it specifically refers to a fist fighter, a brawler, one who punches.

Pretty good size for being a sample, I doubt anyone will ever scan them

So since this is the designated EO thread does anybody know where to pre order the special edition of EOV? I can't find it on amazon.

>>385898414
There is no special edition. The first run of copies always come in a shitty box with a shitty pamphlet "artbook" and a 6 track "soundtrack."

If you want to think about it that way sure. Your bonus is that thing on the bottom. Hell the US version is always paper too, the Japanese ones are all nice cardboard

>>385893295
Why would a robot wear glasses?

Do you guys actually believe Untold 3 will be a thing someday? Honestly, if it happens and it's good I'd have no problems with the series going dormant.

>>385893295
>EO1 is full of lolis.
>EO5 is full of old hags.

How can they make Yggdroids not suck in EOU3?

>>385899086
>Gunner Nano
I will find you.

>>385899410
As longa as they kept subclassing and didn't do grimoires, I'd be happy, even the story actually had potential and was generally cool for a story mode.

How do you make Medic not shit?

>How do you make Medic not shit?

Remove Medics completely, healing-focused classes always suck

If I enjoy Mystery Dungeon (Pokemon and Shiren) along with EO should I try Etrian Mystery Dungeon? I've heard mixed reception to it from fans mostly.

>>385899970
Take a break anon

>>385899863
Give them some solid debuffs and maybe even offensive buffs to make them more than just heal bots, something like Arcanist/Medic in EOIV.

>>385900062
They're kinda needed in this series though. From my experiences at least.

>>385900136
I don't know if I just grew to hate PMD, or if EMD just does it poorly. "Random dungeons" just means that every floor is just square rooms connected by narrow corridors, it's really boring and repetitive.

>>385900196
Healing is always what ruins JRPGs, it's never balanced. A healing class always either is useless or completely obligatory.

>>385899863
Give them worthwhile buffs/debuffs.

>>385900062
They've always been some of the best classes both offensive and defensively. In 4 they sucked because all that healing wasn't needed but they had Star drop which is godly on a Lands.

>>385899863
for shits and giggles, give them an entire specialization that makes them really good at dealing heavy bash damage (instead of a single, costly skill that has no synergy with anything) or being a tank

>>385900136
It's a solid game and worth playing if you like that genre.
It's just not a dungeon crawler and people that went into it expecting more EO goodness were probably super disappointed. If you like mystery dungeon games I don't see why you wouldn't enjoy it though

>>385893295
I want to rub their andro tummies

>>385900259
That's every mystery dungeon game though. I'd like those games much more if they had actually well designed maps and didn't try to do the whole roguelike procedural map generation meme.

>>385899863
give them War Magus mechanics

Resurrecting both at the begining and the end of the turn was such a useful mechanic becauyse you just know enemies will target the character for no reason at all.

>>385901013
I don't think I've ever seen enemies kill someone just revive that same turn unless it was a party hitting move, the enemies decide who to attack as the as your last member ends their turn.

item based class is the only thing not really touched. Either that or a combination or a Mage and a Tank

>>385899410
3 is already a good game. All they have to do is not fuck up.

>>385901540
There aren't any Summoners either

>>385901929
Wildlings were pretty similar, then you have necromancers for corpses.

>>385901929
>3 had multiple summon classes
What did he mean by this?

>>385901540
They could always do something similar to yggdroid but shooting elemental lasers from the front row and with enough TP to keep up.

What about something liek Cat Sith from ffvii? Heavy rng gambler class.

>>385899863
Some sort of Astronaut class would be cool especially since the last stratum in EOV takes place in space.

Le milenom girl

Should I actually play the Untold games? What did it add to things besides better graphics. Ive never played EO 1or2

>>385904025
If you're bored and have nothing to play sure. It changes up most of the dungeons too so it's basically a different game with the same story on classic mode

>>385902983
Futuristic would be cool, considering the setting in general for EO.

>>385904025
i got addicted to eo2u's restaurant and unlocking meals

>>385893295
Don't expect better from a lalashitter

>>385904025
2 is probably my favourite in the series, I liked story mode a lot too, the cast was charming without being overbearing and the extra dungeon was cool, so was the final boss.

The potatoes are actually cute in this game

>>385899508
Make satellites useful instead of a waste of SP. Maybe it's just me, but they're really good tanks and outclassed by everything else at combat. Which sucks because I want to like them. They're the coolest class in the game, Special Beam Cannon is a fun setup, and they're /m/ as fuck.

>>385906478
They should expand the autobind system instead, maybe even focus on that for yggs because it was unique enough.

>>385893295
Seems to me like the "females" would be better going by design alone, the others look like they'd be clunky as fuck
