Tell me all the cut conten-- i mean DLC they have in this game.

>>388371690
Is there a team calculator somewhere online? I wanna pre-gen.

Also post your Guild Names. Guild Star Fish checking in.

Is this a good team? I originally had granny, but I didn't want 3 characters that had to use the other slot certain classes use (i forget the name of it), since you can only have a limited amount of them at a time.

I'm just about to start the first one, or rather the 3DS remake. I've never played one of these before

Should I play the story mode or classic mode?

>>388372785
Classic Mode
Don't watch the opening animation
Ariadne Treads are overated, don't bother carrying them

>>388372785
In the same boat, been playing story mode and i love it.

>>388372887
I would argue the opposite for new players. Story mode will ease them into it

>>388372785
It's usually a unanimous agreement to start with iv instead since it's the easiest. The remakes came later and have better QoL improvements that will make it more difficult to go back.

Story characters are rather boring, but you can unlock two classes in classic mode when you finish it, and has a unique dungeon that you can't get to in calssic. It depends on whether you want all the content unlocked by the time you want to play classic mode.

>>388372928
That seems pretty indestructable actually, you have a lot of healing and damage mitigation.

If you spec your Fortress into Guns and spec your Harbinger or Botanist into a poison skill, you should have decent damage alongside your Necromancer & Masurao.

>>388372928
>3 MOMMY
>1 loli
>1 gay white-haired protagonist

2/10 it's okay

>>388372785
Play classic mode so you can build your own party. Story mode is for chumps.

Characters have relatively low maximum health, so keep active defenses in mind.

Learn the Binding system. All enemy special moves use Head, Arms, or Legs. If you bind the right part, they will lose their turn if they try to use that technique. It should be easy to figure out which one is best. For example, kicks and tail swipes are Legs, spells and horns are head, etc.

Bosses are NOT immune to status effects. Stuff like stuns and poison are your best friend. Fighting hard enemies and getting equipment will help you advance more than grinding weak monsters.

Try pressing A when in dead ends or looking at suspicious walls. You might find an event or a secret passage.

Look at this goji

I thought it was supposed to be a failed experiment that was intended to clear the polluted dying world but I've been playing 3 recently and it is implying it is a fucking Alien hell bent on killing another Alien

I'm a tits man, don't blame me.

>>388374281
in 4 and 1 the trees basically have the same backstory and purpose. 2 never really explains anything about it and for all purposes it is just a tree. 3 is just completely out of the ball park with what the tree is.

I don't know what the remakes added to the lore behind them because I never bothered

>>388371814
>EOV
>lolis

top fucking kek

Is it a better blobber than Wizardry games?

>>388374281
IIRC they're basically just giant pollution decontamination plants. There were 7 in total, 2 of which are already gone by the time EO1 takes place. The tree in 3 is actually unrelated to the Yggdrasil Project afaik and wasn't counted as one of the 5 remaining trees.

>>388371690
I'm so stoked for this game, counting down the days is only adding to the suffering but I can't help myself.

>>388372785
Classic for actual EO. Story for handholding.

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE BIG BOX EDITION

So who levels up one of every unit to be perfectly prepared for every boss? Also I'm going through EO2 and I can't seem to beat the Gunner and War Magus in the third Stratum. Do I focus on binds or defense.

As the series mascot, she deserves more

Im new to the series but it seems kinda fun, would EOV be a good start or does it resume an existing story or w/e? I have no knowledge about any of the games, will I enjoy it anyhow?

Man, I gotta get back to IV. I just really don't enjoy the skill leveling system in that game.

>>388380973
All the games are stand alone, there is no story you need to worry about, even for the more story driven Untold remakes.

Just started IV as my entry to the series and I'm having a blast and wish I got into it sooner. Feel like a retard though, only just realised you could go back through the flowery shortcuts once you'd used them from the other side. Was taking the long way around every single time...

I just name the guild my usual Internet handle, 'cause, well, it's my guild. I put a little more effort into the characters and whatever else I have to name, though. Usually I try to really take a good look at the character portrait and come up with a regular name that I really think befits their appearance. This is totally subjective and stupid, but I think it works better than trying to come up with a name with some sort of special meaning. I mean, the party members aren't chosen heroes of destiny or anything. If I'm drawing a blank, I look at lists of regular names and see if any of them seem to fit. As for stuff like the guild houses in the Untold games or the airship in 4, I have fun with those, coming up with something whimsical and/or comical.

Still deciding what class the final party member should be. I hear sord bunny is kinda ridiculously powerful, so maybe I'll deliberately opt for a more difficult time for myself.

>Stuck against the AREA-III boss

>>388372785
Seriously, anon; do what you want, and what sounds good to you. A big part of Etrian Odyssey's appeal to me is the amount of choice you have in how you want to play it. If you want to go with Story mode and have a functional party setup be given to you since you're a first timer, that works and there's no shame in it. If you want to play Classic and build your own party and make mistakes along the way, that's open to you as well. The only recommendation I'd give you is to play on the hardest difficulty, whichever mode you choose. It's tough starting out, especially if you're familiar with other JRPG series that ease you into the game, but stick with it and learn the ins and outs.

Nep's voice on every guild member!

>>388374781
>I don't know what the remakes added to the lore behind them because I never bothered
Not much besides what >>388375225 added (that there's around five of them total still in existence, and the Etrian and Lagaardian trees count as 1 & 2). The new dungeon in 2Untold takes you to the tree's roots rather than upwards to the skies like the main labyrinth, and you get to beat up another Yggdrasil Core that's sort of similar to the one in EO1(U).

>>388381296
I usually go with names that are vaguely military themed or organizational, like vanguard sentinel. It feels weird assigning the guild a name I usually reserve for individual characters.

Untold. Even if you hate grimoires and HP bloat, there's enough QoL changes to dispel any reason to play the original, unless you want to abuse the OG broken builds.

I made the mistake of going story mode first run through EOU, and I'm at Iwaoropenelep, and I gotta ask: how the fuck do you beat this nigger? I thought Gudunna was bad but thunderbird is a complete asshole. If I'm not mispredicting his shitty insta-kill party wide electric bullshit then I'm getting Raquna fucked over by chaosbringer.

The bosses have gotten bizarrely hard, not even that ant queen boss or the manta ray was this ridiculous

>>388390897

Yeah, it's not that, but it sort of has the same "theme" as EO4's, it's hard to explain but that's how I would describe it.

I hope you guys draw lines along doorways and paint under doors to make your map look nice

>>388395319
What kind of sick fuck wouldn't do that?

>>388395130
I thought people would still buy it. I was going to until just then.

>>388395339
You would be afraid to see how some people draw there maps. During EO IV's time the /v/ and /vg/ threads were divided into factions, you had those that painted under doors and stairs, only painted under stairs, only painted under doors and none at all.

It was a dark and lawless time.

>>388395339
You don't paint the doors because you don't walk through those. You skip right to the next tile following it.

>>388395613

>>388395464
>>388395339
>>388395319
>painting under doors and stairs
>walling around doors

This is disgusting. Doors and stairs are in their own class of interactive tile that just fucking teleport you somewhere else, you don't pass through them. You still paint under chests and the like, of course, because they're visibly on an otherwise walkable map tile.

>>388395675
Water is water. You don't walk on doors.

>>388395756
That's why you paint doors and stairs with a different color than the ground you walk on.

>>388395756
>painting under chests
What are you doing? You can't walk there.

>>388395675
Of course not, but you also don't wall off water tiles unless you're a fucking moron.

No. Look stuff up. There's no e-penis points in this game other than not playing casual.

I'm thinking about starting EOU2 soon so I can move on to EOV soon after.
Any big changes to the classes compared to EOU1?
Can troubadour still do full time healing or is medic a must?

Can anyone confirm if EU gets the little extras at pre-order? Read before they didn't.

have you considered that some games might be better enjoyed when you're not glued to an online skill simulator?

>>388400170
keep going blind, just remember to always keep a couple of ariadne threads on hand when exploring the dungeon

>>388400170
You could check some class combinations and conditional drops, but I don't think it's necessary to look up anything else.

>>388400553
It's a long grind. I don't want to build something and regret it that it doesn't work as intended.

>>388400589
IV is fairly braindead regarding conditional drops.

>>388400170
you'll be fine just stock up on the ariadne threads

>>388400649
You can get through IV without optimal party setups, it's not even difficult.

>>388400429
Ronin still requires a lot of set up for mediocre pay off
Landknights still do chasing and overall still okay
Dark Hunters are outright broken
Hexers make Dark Hunter even more broken
Medic still doing a lot of healing
Troubadour still doing a lot of buffs and can heal plus get grimioures from medics if need be
Survivalist still fucking sucks
Protectors doing shield stuff, but lost the most broken skill Brave Heart
Alchemist can now elemental fist stuff and is overall good, but less broken as they lost the Analysis buff which is now their force boost
Beast is basically the fortress from EO4, but needs elemental shields from Protectors
War Magnus is a good healer and damage doer as well, DH and Hexers make them strong as well.
Gunners are better survivalists and do good elemental damage with burst shot, but super squishy.
Sovereigns are Troubadours healers that buff and are overall a bit more tanky but their buffs only effect one line at a time. Have good elemnetal damage if you have someone to hook them up with some elements
Highlanders are good for Delayed Charge, Cross Charge. and bloody offense, but gotta buy the DLC for them.

>>388400835
Bravery's Gift* my bad

>>388391085
Binds. One of the magic attacks is weirdly an arm skill so that's good, otherwise head bind works and also drops his magic defence stat too. It can genuinely be worth resting Arthur just to go all out after the latest elemental weakness because two levels are nothing. As always, grimoires give you an edge - so take the status curb thing, debuffs via Simon's free turns, double down on ricky's arm/head bind without the permanent investment. If you get a volt shield grimoire on someone else you can survive Racoon status effect turns.

>>388400835
Alright, thanks.
My EOU party was:
Ronin, Protector, Dark Hunter
Troubadour, Hexer
which took me all the way to the post game boss. Might try along the same lines but replace atleast ronin with something else.

>>388401513
Well with that party, you could replace the Ronin with War Magnus as they have great synergy with that party.
But be warned, you can make the game a cake walk.

Are Necros really going to be okay healers? Anons are putting them everywhere but they need a turn to summon and a turn to heal, right?

>>388400835
I thought Troubadours were broken because of the Crusade Force Boost increasing allies damage to completely absurd levels. I haven't done it myself personally, since I wanted to go through story mode first, but I recall looking at a playthrough involving using Crusade to trivialize bosses with massive damage.

>>388402542
Been a while since I played but I recall that they're able to get a very strong party-wide HP regen for several turns. That's pretty great compared to medic who has to heal every turn for the same effect.

>>388402542
Yeah Crusade is a flat 50% increase to all damage that stacks with his War Song. which combined with stuff can get out of hand.
>>388402648
You're thinking of Protect Order which comes from Sovereign.

>>388402774
Actually it might be Healing Lullaby/Echoing Rondo which does take 2 turns to setup but is still pretty handy.

>>388402883
Though this was in EOU1 so I dunno about EOU2

>>388402517
They are not dedicate healers indeed, but they can buff the elemental defense of your party, combined with the Dragoon skills and offensive attacks, it should be it aside from some bosses

>>388402883
Ah I thought we were still talking about EOU2. Yeah thats gone in EOU2 so I was confused for a bit

No, but if you're 'acquiring' it elsewhere, there's usually an undub that drops quickly for most games on release.

>>388406347
We'll see, if the English version doesn't have the same number of voices as the Japanese (I have a feeling that it won't) it'll be more of a hassle. No one bothered to do EOU's undub because repacking everything was different from how all the other games are done apparently (I really don't know how that works) until someone from the general did it themselves, that's the power of autism I guess.

>>388408640
Fucking Mike.

>>388409025
Mike did nothing wrong. He should have nuked Etria and Ricky, maybe the entire party of EO2U as well.

>>388408640
Are we thinking about the same Mike?

>>388402517
They're the only class with a party heal in the early game, before you unlock Legendary Names.

>there are people going Dragoon AND Botanist
Maybe this is EOIVs fault but having both a healer and protector at the same time seems like wasted potential to me when you could swap one out for another damage dealer.

>>388408640
I find them kind nice and pretty cute, what portrait will you use ?

>>388409508
>Maybe this is EOIVs fault but having both a healer and protector at the same time seems like wasted potential
It goes all the way back to EO1 where the combination of broken skills could make you practically immortal.

>>388409508
It can be difficult to get all of the damage mitigation and healing you need in EOV since there aren't too many classes with both types of skills, though I think Necromancer is supposed to patch holes in your team for that.

>>388409508
Taking this duo with botanist going ailment specialization for smoke bomb tomfoolery.

>>388409508
The DS titles taught me that you actually need BOTH heals and means of negating aoe elemental damage if you want your party to survive. Speccing for more damage will work but I call those gimmick builds since EO tends to focus more on survivability.

>>388409673
How does healing rover and buffing shaman sound? I like the idea of still dealing damage with the rovers stab attacks/elemental runs with the shaman.

Does Fencer have any passive or long-lasting ways of generating aggro?
I don't think using Predict every turn is a good idea.

>>388409612
Haven't really decided yet. I've had a look at the new ones and they're all pretty good, but I find when I pick out a team this early I keep changing my mind anyway, on both classes and portraits.

It works out pretty poorly for my team but that's part of the fun I find.

>>388409883
Rover's pets have passive healing. It's not much, but it nearly trivialize random encounters. The dog tree has a random party heal of up to 9 heals. Shaman have mitigation for both damage types as well as It's own healing tree to allow heals every time you take damage.

I'm playing EOU2 Story mode right now and I don't know how to increase my damage output.
Should I reclass some characters?

>>388410248
Go for Ailing Slash on Chloe.
She's your top DPS until Faf starts breaking the game.

>>388410237
>Rover's pets have passive healing. It's not much, but it nearly trivialize random encounters.

Fucking christ, as if I didnt have hard time deciding what team to go with. I loved the passive healing in EO4 as it gave me a ton of endurance. Now I feel like I just absolutely need to get more of it.

DPT- Damage Per Turn (not Daily Programming Thread if you're from /g/)

>>388371690
So when is it coming out

>>388410746
Not necessarily. Ailment smoke skills also give infliction debuff. She'll be more of a support for my reaper and necro to land their shit. Additionally, smoke bomb only needs the target to have an ailment, not for the botanist to inflict it.

>>388410980
October 17th NA, November 3rd EU.

Did EO4 lack the warp feature to every 5 floor? Everytime I teleport out of the function, I have to walk all the way back up?

>>388411015
Unless it changes drastically at max, I wasn't poisoning shit with my herbalist unless they were weak to, that debuff probably doesn't do much. Then again I only took it up to level 5 as filler for a pure healing herbalist

>>388411108
It doesn't have floor jumping period. That was introduced in EO1U iirc. But they've designed it so that each floor has multiple shortcuts so you can quickly reach the lower floors.

>>388411108
>every five floors

Every dungeon in 4 is only 3 floors long, and 1 for the 5th,

Is it hard to go back playing EO4 if you start with the Untold?

>>388411476
No. The untolds sucks when compared to EO4.

>>388411476
I wouldn't say hard. You'll miss being able to run and floor jumping but after a few hours you'll get used to it then it's smooth sailing.

>>388411476
It's much slower, easier, has shorter dungeons, and a shitty overworld. Just play and firgure it out for yourself. I can still pick up EO1 and have fun, everyone else would just say pay Untold instead

>>388411606
Can you stop memeing please. IV is very good but usually referred to as the weakest in the series.
>>388411653
He's already playing Untold he's asking if he won't be able to go back and play IV after because of the QoL changes.

>>388410815
No need to be like that anon, you know what I meant.

>>388410917
Thanks, I forgot this term.

Yeah, 4 is a good game, only downfall is that the Lava Stratum sucks, and it's quite easy. The classes are great, the music fantastic, etc

>>388412084
Man the first time I went up against the mandatory red bear boss my ears exploded from the unexpected awesomeness of the end of raging winds. Haven't really had that happen to such an extent in the other games aside from MIKE in EOU.

It's back to 5 floor strata again, no floor jumping like in the Untolds but you can start on whatever floor you like as long as you've finished the map. I'd say it's the EO3 of the 3DS games, take that as you will. And DLC this time is nothing but extra portraits, FM music, and pay to win quests. Apparently people hated shit like even more optional bosses and an extra floor so they didn't add any playable DLC

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

>>388415779
What's wrong with no jumping between floors?
That just means you have to spend a bit more on threads, but the cost is pretty much negligible later on.

>>388415686
I think that's perfect. If you want to get back to the boss on BF5 having to go through the first 4 floors like in EOIV (well 3 for EOIV) would suck . At the same time free floor jumping trivialises the dungeon a bit and makes ariadne threads cry.

>>388415686
The backlash over EOU2's DLC really was an exaggeration, gotta love all those troll reviews on JP amazon. Even without DLC EO2U has probably the most content out of the series, I really wasn't against adding more optional bosses. A shame EO5 didn't get extra floors or the like it's definitely longer than 4 but not as long as either Untold

>>388416038
It means I have to actually put in work when using Take. Unless if that system has been revamped as well.

>>388415686
Floor jumps killed all the joy of finding nice shortcuts.

I sure hope so, those designs look rad. I'll still enjoy EOV of course.

>oni use giant hammers/machetes/etc
That would've worked well giving each race a look. Give the oni lower agility but more bulk than the bunnies with maybe slightly higher intelligence.

>oni/horned race
Fuck yes
Please yes
AT least in the next game, I really REALLY want that.

I have a huge hard on for female oni warriors.

I don't think he had some sort of "loli quota" in mind when he made them or the Reapers, nor that people would dislike the female reapers just because they had some breast size beyond ultra flat, or that lolifags would hate the potatoes for being TOO young, which is somewhat odd, but I always used the lolis because I found them cute, not dick tickling, so I guess that's out of my field there. As it is he seems to have mostly switched to that style of tater tot thing when drawing younger characters, as seen by the shorter limbed characters in his newest doujin advertisement.

Why did they cut them?
They so much better than the other races.

>>388422671
Great idea, anon. I'll be taking that one.

Just like how we'll see that EOIII summoning class, right?
