where should i start with etrian odyssey?

The only one I've played is EOIV, but most of these enemies really weren't that bad if you were properly leveled and equipped for the area. Were they scarier in the older games?

>>386456208
Start with EO1 Untold: The Millenium Girl

>>386456237
In the original Etrian Odyssey for DS, they'll put one of these motherfuckers on the second floor. Usually, you'll have hit about level 4 or so by the time you're there... and they'll murder you. You have to be level 9 at least to kill them comfortably.

>>386456208
IV. The untolds are pretty good. Then 3. 3 is probably the best but at this point less refined.

>>386455469

3 or 4.
3 is very likely to get a remake so it might end up being obsolete like the original 1 and 2. 4 is a safer bet.

>Spend 5 days in floor 8
This bullshit quest feels like the turning point of EO 1.
After doing this you will be so high leveled that none of the F.O.E. even on the lower floors will be a problem. Hell you will even be strong enough to kill the Wyvern right after doing this quest as long as you keep recasting Defender and Immunize on time and have Relaxing active to not run out of TP.

>>386457337
That's not certain. EO3 is already pretty close to the modern EO formula, it brought many crucial improvements after EO2, there's not much to remake here except graphics/musics and the addition of story mode

>>386458587
Atlus is strangely dedicated to porting all their DS games to 3DS. I wonder if anyone told them 3DS is backwards compatible.
Besides, they make those Untolds primarily to shoehorn the story mode. Luckily classic mode is still a thing so everyone wins, I guess.

So are Arcanists a better Medic? Those fuckers have amazing circle spells and they can heal your whole party at a steady rate, even when walking, plus they have such a great synergy with nightstalkers, how can medics even compete?

You guys think there's a future for EO on the Switch? I mean, it's got a touch screen. They can probably make something work.

>>386460873
why wouldn't there be
plenty of dungeon crawlers work with one screen

>>386460873
Maybe a spiritual successor, but I don't see a pure Etrian Odyssey coming to the Switch due to the dual screens mechanic. I sure would love that though.

>>386460873
Table top mode with the screen split for mapping on the bottom, maybe.

I'm really shocked they (or anyone else) didn't make a dungeon crawler for the Wii U, fucking tablet for mapping and inventory was a fucking no brainer.

>>386460928
Because you remove a piece of what makes EO EO by removing the ability to draw your map as you explore.

>>386460873
3DS will be supported long enough for 6 and Untold 3 should Atlus decide to make those.

>>386460873
You cannot draw the map on the go with the Switch, its not as convenient as it is with the 3DS having one dedicated screen for the map porn. Either the japs give up on it or Atlus comes up with a seamless substitute, if neither then its doomed.

>>386461429
>3DS will be supported long enough for 6
Well, I hope they can make 6 before the end of next year, because they're releasing a mainline Pokemon game on the Switch and that pretty much heralds the end of the 3DS.

Fuck that shit, start with 4 at the moment, easier to find and pirate too if you have a hacked 3DS.

After that, move to whatever one you like, but probably should be 1U then 2U and then maybe try and play 3 for the DS.

>>386461610
The mainline game on Switch is yet to be officially announced. It's still at least 2 more years before it's actually released.

>>386461743
That is true, however is it confortable to even draw on it? Also, won't Nintendo force them to make a docked mode for the game if they decide to even make one?
An example is Level-5 which seems to want to put a Layton game on the Switch but still didn't figure out how to make the transition from the 3ds. Still, puzzles can be arranjed on a console in many different ways, I'm not so sure about map drawing.

Redpill me on JRPGs

I've finished like a handful ever but started a shitload of them and I just don't understand the appeal of sinking a hundred hours or more into a game when they often prove to be 6-8/10 kinda games when I barely do that outside of multiplayer titles ever and even then it is rare.

I'm frustrated that I own a Vita and 3DS but can't get into JRPGs because it's all either system has to offer nowadays practically.

What are some 10/10 JRPGs that have fun combat systems and a plot and/or characters that keep your attention throughout?

>>386461041
no matter how many times i play this game there's always at least one point i forget to buy a wire and realize after surrounded by foesbut this usually leads to the best fights where you win by the skin of your teeth

Chrono Trigger is an amazing starting point if you're looking to try one out. It's simple, fast paced, pretty easy, and everything about it is high quality. If you want the fun sense of discovery and adventure, it's your best bet.

SMT: Nocturne is pretty damn hard and requires you to be at least a certain level of proficiency or it simply won't allow you to progress. Every boss (the hard ones anyway) is a puzzle that requires you to understand at least one major concept of the game's mechanics, and it builds in complexity until you're a master. If you want something to teach you the mechanical complexities that a JRPG can offer, and don't mind beating your head against a wall until certain things click, it's a great option.

>>386456683
very popular /f/ from back in the day if you've been around for a while, that's probably where you've heard it.

>>386462568
Honestly EO is pretty much the strongest JRPG to get into while still being fairly accessible.
It avoids the whole "press A to win" stigma that most JRPGs generate because it's challenging enough to force you to strategize. Even random battles are threatening enough to make you really think about how to proceed.
Plus the story is completely minimal so there's no anime story bullshit you have to trudge through. The games are 95% gameplay from beginning to end.

>>386463142
Also, don't listen to this fag;
>>386462745

Try getting your hands on Shadow Hearts: From the New World on the PS2. It's my personal favourite JRPG. It's got a really interactive battle system, a crazy in-depth ability skill tree, and insane characters that are hard not to love.

One of the best characters in the game (gameplay and personality-wise) is a Slavic-American pilot named Frank who crash landed into the Brazilian rainforest and was taught the way of the ninja by a secluded tribe of Japanese assassins.

>>386467173
Not that anon but I haven't played any of the remakes yet, but I've heard that there are unlockables behind story mode even though I want to play classic.
So should I really just go for classic?

I miss the orange fuzzballs every day. Models are fine, but they just aren't the same after being chased by orange balls for so long.

>>386467079
No, it's not
It didn't fixed any problems of original 2, but brought many new ones
First two games tried to be classed dungeon crawlers but were very mediocre
3, 4 and 5 are all better games with you actually feelings adventure
>>386467173
Why would I ever touch story mode with forced romance shit? Of course I played classic and got bored before even finished first stratum
And I tried to did it fucking twice with months between
The only reason I beat original 2 was because there was nothing else to play

>>386467436
Untold 1 locks the extra stratum and one weapon behind the Story Mode.
Untold 2 fixed that issue and the only thing you miss out on is the class of the main character which is borderline broken.

>>386467173
Fafnir is broken like any other thing is broken in EO: after grinding like an autist to min max. For most of the game it's actually Chloe that can shit out the most damage until Fafnir gets all his abilities, and even then, he needs the proper grimoires to be a destructive force. Have you played the game at all?

>>386467619
So I should go for story mode in Untold 1 and classic in Untold 2? Story mode looks boring as fuck due to not being able to create my characters desu, makes me want to skip right away to Untold 2.

>>386460221
Dude she's like 9

>>386467514
>it didn't fixed the problems of original 2
You get exp from bosses and FOEs now so you're a higher level overall, plus grimoires give you access to more powerful and more varied skills

>>386467664
>he needs the proper grimoires to be a destructive force
So that's why everything started feeling like a health bloat so late in the game.

>>386467793
Not in EO, that's how a 20 year old looks like

>>386467779
I encourage you to skip Story Mode in 1 too.
The weapon is not that important unless you're a completionist and the extra story related stratum is half-assed anyway.

>>386467514
What problems didn't it fix?

It fixed Force mode being that thing you never ever use in battles outside of endgame and turned it into a very enjoyable mechanic. It fixed some of the class imbalance and made each class feel more unique and more powerful, even if it's still pretty imbalanced. The dungeon layouts were all changed although I wouldn't necessarily say it was better or worse. My only real problem is how Untold started the trend of lowering your HP to ridiculous levels. I remember having around 500-600 HP in the first game around stratum 5 but I needed food to reach that in Untold.

>>386467664
Min-maxed Fafnir is the most ridiculous class in the history of EO.

>>386468369
It's probably among the better of the weeb dungeon crawlers, being able to switch between weeb and not-so-weeb artstyles is also nice. FUCK the rerolling though

I can actually feel you on that, but with damage skills. I remember Allslash being extremely cheap in the first game, but the first Untold makes it really expensive like in EO2, so it doesn't feel like it's worth using.

>>386468608
I miss being a kid when acting like that was intuitive and second nature

>>386468878
As >>386468728 I should add that EO is pretty much the pinnacle of weeb dungeon crawlers, so you should try and play one if you ever get the chance. Don't listen to faggots who try to shill Dungeon Travelers 2.

I'm going to self-insert as the pompous ass racist [species-est] warlock mage, and on my team, I'm going to have some kid who "traveled from the real world" into the game world and I'm gonna force him to take the white mage cause he's a NEET who can't do shit, have a bro type Tank or Necromancer that always hits on every girl he sees, the old lady hunter who constantly reminisces on how amazing her team was back in her prime and how amazing her deceased husband was and how this new team isn't worth shit, and... I need a good idea for the fencer girl to make her interesting.

Old hardass is the only viable portrait. This is not debatable.

>>386469580
Well, they changed how the class works in general purely so it doesn't overlap with Medic too much and make it worthless like 2 did. I kinda like the changes though. Healing activating at both the beginning and end of a turn is interesting.

>>386470616
Automap has always been a thing. It's just that after untold it draws walls too, and that has to be turned on. It doesn't even place icons either.

>>386470616
Auto floor painting has been default since IV.
Untold added automatic wall drawing which is off by default.

>>386470713
They changed them from being jacks of all trades to some weird hybrid class. I just don't like that they can't wear heavy armor and shields anymore, they die instantly when touched.

>>386470928
Well, I get what you mean by that. You can still use shields with them if you have a grimoire but it was neat to put heavy armor on them.

The ONLY argument you fags have about Untold 2 is "m-m-muh content". Never mind the abysmal map and boss design or anything.

>>386474226
The only problem with any of the maps is how many tutorials there are about how certain FOE move even well into the second stratum.

>>386473870
>I remember this Japanese image floating around saying that all the dragon area in the 3rd stratum was locked behind one of the DLCs
Except it wasn't about the dragon areas, it was mostly complaining about part of the dungeon being unavailable causing the actual floors (without DLC) being smaller than a normal EO floor that covers most of the grid.

It was an exaggeration from japanese players since it was just a few floors affected by that.

Untold 2 is the best in QoL aspects but shit everywhere else. Ignoring the Story mode, all bosses are HP sponges compared to the original game; satring from the Flame Demon fight, you are required to have a Protector or someone with anti-element wall grimoire which is something EO never threw at you until the postgame when you fight the dragons. And speaking of dragons, their cores are the worst aspect in the game since they can kill you at the end of the turn with no way of negating the damage, not even with the anti walls.

Primevil and Abyssal God bullshit aside, Etrian Odyssey were always fair in that regard, no bullshit like killing you after everyone got their turn, Untold 2 threw everything through the window

>>386474765
>satring from the Flame Demon fight, you are required to have a Protector or someone with anti-element wall grimoire which is something EO never threw at you until the postgame when you fight the dragons

That's not even true though. It makes the fight a lot easier but it's in no way necessary.

Should i have a whole team of semen demons or have just one guy so as to make it his harem?

>>386474042
>The Grandia 3 opening music video whathaveyou is still forever nuked off the face of the internet

I'm still sad about it. The one on Dailymotion isn't the one, either.

>>386474765
IV was the first EO that made full use of every grid. DLC areas in Untold 2 were entirely new and didn't subtract anything that was there in the original.

>>386473552
yeah it would be odd gameplay wise for map movement, especially with the whole one tile movement=one turn shenanigans. i'd probably just have one guy pilot the group and have everyone else work on the collective map

combat would be easier, just have everyone decide on their action simultaneously with a time limit of 20 seconds. would make funny situations if people aren't trying to coordinate and everyone uses a nectar on the same guy

U2 is really bad about damage sponge bosses.
Usually there's some gimmick you can use to reduce them to like half hp.

>>386475783
The game would probably have to be balanced around it. It would be tedious to go through 5 turns fighting a random encounter, but two turns might be palatable. If you could chat freely while waiting it wouldn't be so bad

>>386475978
They usually die faster in other games. I'd say U1 and 2 are worse in that regard, in U1 enemy health is still inflated but your damage isn't sky high like in U2. In 2 it's so easy to make a wrong party that does shit for damage, and you die extremely easily in that game as well.

>have to stop the fight for a few seconds before no more gays ruin the FOE music

>>386477874
That was a different kind of tip.
Dedicated tanks and healers trivialize the game.

>>386477863
I just avoided most of the bosses until I beat the area, then tried to recruit them. Those ones in the candy area though, those fuckers are no joke.

Wish there was an uncensor patch, fuck you Japanese censorship law.

I'm not sure how I was supposed to interpret this from your initial reply, but this works. I initially wanted my Mage insert to secretly want to be the big damn hero that NEET white mage is vocal about wanting to become. I can also see giving Mage a closet chuuni side that bursts out with the wrath of Zeus in the heat of the moment with her as the catalyst.

Does EO have anything interesting about its combat whatsoever? I'm so tired of RPG maker turn-based shit.

>still no date on EO5

AHHHH

>>386478792
It's based more around building a team, (especially in the original two) then around the actual combat.

>>386478116
I always liked activating the NO MORE GAYS transformation
People complain a lot but U2's story mode was great, particularly Bertrand.

That area was a nightmare. Passing through the Killer Bunnies is easy enough but the goddamn vampires and drink mages that pass through walls/walk on water are harder to avoid. Doesn't help that these fuckers loves to active their counter

>>386478980
I still like the actual combat in the games. It's not innovative but it's got a decent challenge and the team building gives you flexibility in terms of beating bosses.

>>386479375
I still need to beat this, I should probably get the updated English version though, I only have the Japanese version and I only have a limited knowledge of Japanese.

Slimeboys cutest boys, just wish there were naked sprites for all of the monsters instead of just undies or censored.

>>386460873
The touch screen better be used to play with dancer's nipples.

Do you guys use paint walking?

>>386480805
Is it a fully updated version? If so, I would love that.

How good is the english translation?

>>386481686
Yes it's the full version, but I'm trapped in 100 kb/s upload rate hell (ETA is 1 hour and 30 minutes). The translation works, it has issues here and there but you can understand everything, including some weird skills. Is there a way I can contact you in case this thread dies?

I actually beat EO3 without a tank and regen order + items for healing.

>>386482148
What are you using to upload it? I'm pretty sure most file upload sites let you just look at someones account, so you could just link me your account and I could get it off of there when it's done uploading. If the thread dies and the site doesn't let me check the account, just dump the link in /a/'s "It's time" thread or a shota thread on /b/.

EO3 is actually the easiest game to speedrun due to farmers+ instakilling bosses with wildling summons
If you know the map layout already you can crush the game with a party that's less than level 30

You mean underwhelming? Don't think so, they get all the good equipment and the defensive buffs are really good if you upgrade them.

>>386476371
How do I make a good team in U2? The damage is decent but the bosses take really long to die.

>original soundtrack
>remastered soundtrack
Which one is better?

What's Japan's opinion on V? Or, alternatively, /v/'s opinion on V.

Asking people who have played it, of course.

>>386483607
can't get enough of that delicious PC-88 sound but the remastered versions are good in their own way.

What a timely thread considering I just finished 3.
Monk/prince was meant to be incredibly useful I guess, protect order was recovering full to full health every single turn because of its innate skill.

Any reason to play these if I don't like lolishit?

>>386483771
It's fun.

does eo4 really work on the 3ds emulator? last I heard it was running pokemon at like 6fps even with a good computer.

>>386483815
Did you beat the abyssal god?

>>386483771
Haven't played it yet but I hate the removal of the overworld. The overworld exploration in 4 was the best new feature they added to the series.

>>386482706
I'm using Mega and I sure don't know how to share anything since my cloud drive is empty

>>386483862
I personally don't play for Lolishit I play for the dungeon crawling and because the idea of building your own team always appealed to me.

Recently dug up my 3DS and found out I have EO2U which I never started. Can someone recommend me a party and also redpill me on grimoires? I see there's a whole lot of grimoires available on gamefaqs but will using those make me too overpowered to enjoy the game?

>>386483771
Hate the UI changes. Music is pretty weak all around too. Gameplay wise it's the same shit as always, you got a class or 2 that completely destroy anything if you build them right, it's not that EO has been getting easy, you just figure out how to play them better

The lolis are only portraits that you can swap for male characters if that really is a deal breaker for you. Even then, they aren't really hamfisted into events since Etrian itself isn't that story-heavy.

>>386483989
No, I'm glad that's gone. That shit was boring, added barely anything to the game and it made dungeons have to be cut down in size

>>386484317
>and it made dungeons have to be cut down in size
Or Fatlus could stop being lazy and just make the dungeons full size while still having the exploration?

>>386483920
It was a huge cunt, but yeah, I was really lucky with some of my limit uses, REALLY lucky, would have died in a couple of bad reads, also some timely double actions for my arbalist helped, two front mortars are always better than one.
