A bit over a month. It comes out October 17th.

>>389334940
This is tense. After the giga-wait for V, they're making the last game, maybe the most anticipated if it's EO3U, right at the end of the 3DS lifespan.

Sounds like EOU3 is the last to be made for the 3DS, next one will probably be on a new handheld.

>>389335387
Yeah, it's called the Switch

>>389334940

Is this it? Untold 3 closing out the series?

You fags know that Nintendo has consolidated their 3ds and console teams to focus on the Switch and is having 3rd party 3DS devs do the same, right?

Smartphones is the only option from here on

>>389335742
t. actual retard

If this series goes Switch exclusive that might be final push I need to actually invest in one. That being said, I might also grab one now before the shipped firmware gets too high. I want to ensure it will be crackable when the necessary shit for it inevitably arrives.

>>389335761
Handheld devs don't want to pay home console production prices though, which is what the Seitch is. Many will sooner bow out of the market or move to mobile.

But now the question is "will we get it?"

"The last EO game on the 3DS" quite obviously means "the last EO game period". It's time to accept it, /v/.

>>389335903
Mobile will never pay enough unless they go freemium, which means compromising game design. And they get additional pay and marketing from Nintendo and a $60 price tag unless they themselves set the price lower.

>>389335978
I'm just happy the last Etrian isn't a Mystery Dungeon

>>389335978
EO can live without maps

>>389336057
Or just have the map pull up from a button..

>>389335349
You probably have a bad party composition or lack good gear, maybe both. Party synergy is a huge deal, gear kind of naturally progresses but you can get good shit from certain FOE drops.

>>389335761
Nintendo can't force devs to move to a different system if they don't want to. Even if they officially dropped 3DS support, which is a long ways off, they'd still let them make games. 3DS games and Switch games are entirely different worlds, especially in budget.

Fire emblem has gone mobile with success, talks of a Pokémon game are still floating around. It can work, freemium yes, but it's already been proven.

Nintendo also doesn't market shit unless it's first party or has a really specific agreement (bayonetta 2, xenoblade chronicles x). There's no way they would market these games, especially with Atlus who works with their competition. And there's equally no way devs would up production costs so much for these titles, many if which exist in the first place because the DS/3DS is dirt cheap to develop on.

Or make the map with your smartphone device!

>>389335903
They don't have to make a AAA game just because the Switch is more powerful, you know.
They can just upgrade the resolution, up the poly-count and use better textures.

>>389336343
Fire emblem mobile is not the same as a full blown game. It's gatcha type stuff.

>>389336573
Nobody is claiming they would go AAA. But if you think an EO game on a console with a much smaller install base + a higher budget would be a good idea, you're delusional. I'd love an EO game with better visuals myself but it's just not viable for them.

>>389336573
Switch and all other home consoles have entirely different architecture. Once you even touch the platform to begin with your costs shoot up. If they could do the equivalent of selling 3DS games on the e-shop it might work, but in the end they'd still be making 3DS games.

It's all a matter of budget, and any jump from handheld to console is a big step up, especially for companies who are used to making dirt-cheap 3DS games.

>>389336720
It's also a viable choice for companies who want to make games for cheap instead of home consoles.

>>389336995
>viable
Only if the game is popular enough to begin with. Not to mention the design sacrifices you take by making it mobile. Mobile and handheld games are different things, there's no need to abandon one to make the other.

>>389336343
Xenoblade Chronicles X is a first party game.

How is developing on a "home console" more expensive than developing on a new handheld (assuming this handheld has completely different hardware from 3ds)?

Why does it take forever to translate the doujins.
They are godtier doujins under the tags Loli and rape

>>389337373
>How is developing on a "home console" more expensive than developing on a new handheld
Because they need higher res assets and are expected to use the consoles full potential

>>389337402
They're taking a page from Atlus

>>389337373
What new handheld? Nobody is mentioning anything like that. The reasoning is that handhelds are typically weaker than home consoles, so you aren't expected to dump as much in to making it look pretty, thus cheaper. In the case of the 3DS vs the Switch, it's a large margin. Especially when you account for the fact that they can reuse assets in some cases on 3DS.

>>389337402

Put up a bounty. That's the main factor holding those translations back. Unless you can find some guy just getting started who wants to translate a few doujin for free to show he's not an ape you're probably gonna have to pay.

>>389337473
Wouldn't any new handheld be at least ps3-tier at this point?

>>389337605
It entirely depends on how much they want it to cost. More than likely it''d be inbetween a PS2 and PS3. Imagine a Vita with a slightly higher res and better FPS. Masses aren't interested in expensive handhelds

>>389337747
>Masses aren't interested in expensive handhelds

It's time to choose.

>>389338043
I'll take the smuggest one.

>>389337850
Because it's primarily a home console. The Wii U is dead and the 3DS still exists as the handheld. It's a hybrid with a focus toward what a home console provides. It's what you'll HAVE to buy to get new mainline Nintendo games. The general view of the Switch is a home console you can take with you, not a dedicated portable.

I just started playing Untold 2 the other day and got to the second floor of the first labyrinth when I realised I don't have any strike/bash attacks and magic attacks. I have a Landsknecht, a Ronin, a Protector, a Gunner and a Medic, playing on normal difficulty.

You dun goofed. Actually I'm not sure if the game makes a difference between actual magic and physical elemental attacks. I think gunners can go full elemental build.

>>389338485
Elemental damage is scaled by your TEC IIRC, I actually don't know if that's the case in U2. So it's kind of a mix for physical elemental attacks.
>>389338402
Lack of status and/or binds is more of a big deal than anything there. Binds are a MASSIVE help. Hexer or Dark Hunter would benefit you. I run an almost non-elemental team but stack binds+ailments (Dark Hunter/Hexer/War Magus combo). Binds and status can just shut down so many enemies and bosses.

>>389338407
How do you know she's not actually 1000 years old?

>>389338870
>I actually don't know if that's the case in U2
All skills in U2 tell you what they scale to and what you use to use them, which is really nice.

>>389338930

Because nothing in any of the games indicates that anyone could be some sort of super natural being capable of living for over one thousand years without the help of magitek?

>>389338930
She just looks like a small japanese adult woman to me, defitinely older than Abigail.

>>389338981
Yeah I just remembered that as I posted, it's been a while. Big QoL stuff in both Untold games, I wouldn't even be mad if they redid 3 too.

>>389339041
I'm mostly curious what they'd do with the story mode. Deep one MC? Yggroid heroine? The setting actually has potential without needing to make up stuff.

Gutrune could be one, no reason other people couldn't.
Or just a plain pirate which is the most fitting class for the setting.

A class that becomes more effective the more punishment it receives. I.e. reflects damage, status effects and binds empower them, thrives at low HP.

>>389345174
Etrian Odyssey is the Dark Souls of JRPGs.

>>389334940
There should be no problems on Switch, the screen is big enough to have splitscreen, so one half of it will be the drawable map, while the other would be the dungeon.
It's kind of a shame the WiiU wasn't a success, because it was the perfect platform for this game.


Anyway, is anyone planning to mod the EOV game so it will have JP voices? I'm going to pirate it for now since I live in Europe and I don't have the money to import anymore.

Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy are among the most basic RPGs ever made but the mechanics at the end of the day are pretty much the same.
What fools newcomers is the fact they think common, specially early game monsters, are easy to go through and only bosses matter.
That's very wrong, more often than not you're going to treat common enemies as mini-mini bosses.

The game isn't THAT hard to be honest, you just need to not be greedy, once you're out of good attacks go back home.
