Careful. As much as necromoe being cute, you might just trigger someone.

>>135151878
It made sure the image was not R18. It should be fine.

>>135152435
Not as cute as Ricky

In EO3, does it matter who initiates the combo?

Like, the cross slash, if I initiate it with a gladiator, will it do more damage than if I initiated it with a zodiac?

And the damage is based on everyone who participates?

2u as a close second because I came to the general during the release and had fun

>>135153834
pls respond

also this game seems a bit easy to break, a team of 5 farmers can get so much money through foraging

>>135153834
It's been some time since I played III, but I'm pretty sure the damage depended on the character you used. I definitely remember that buffs and charges could improve the damage from things like Lucky Hammer.

>>135158782
>a team of 5 farmers can get so much money through foraging
It's like that in every game that's not IV. Things cost a shitton of money in III, though.

Does the EO5 Nico Stream have what each class does (and subbed)? I'm wondering if the Necro and Hound are gonna be 6th slot characters.

>>135159716
Summons get their own type of new slot and its not the 6th.

>>135159836
Ooh that's cool. I guess I'll download the stream later. thanks.

>>135159909
Just watch the youtube video of the stream

>>135158864
hmm thank you

what classes should be on the front row in EO3? Gladiator, Hoplite, Monk and maybe Prince?

>>135160792
G, H, and P are all good on the front. Monk only belongs up there if you're using them to attack.

>>135159836
We haven't seen more than 2 summons at a time, right? It looks like there could be more space up there, but I wonder if that's the max.

>>135160792
There's also shogun and bucanneer if you run with swords.
And arbalist in the case of front mortar

>>135161134
Should you use an arbalist with front mortar unless you have a hoplite to baby it?

>>135161183
Or a P/H. They're not hopelessly squishy, but it's a good idea to have some kind of defense.

Quick, is the story in Untold 2 as ridiculously shit and boring as in Untold 1? Should I just go classic mode?

>>135161065
Considering EVERYTHING that necromancer does requires a Ghost. I wouldn't be surprised if we could have up to at least 3 and max 5 summons up.

>>135162954
It falls apart at the end.

For classic mode, it's contradictory and the whole Ginnungagap part nonsensical.

>>135162954
It stays fun until around after 3rd stratum. After that it feel like everything becomes a bit more forced. But I still enjoyed it.

>>135162954
Classic gives you everything Story has, except for Fafnir. So make your decision based on which classes you feel like using.

>>135162954
It's better than EO1U story mode but not by much.

How do I Yggdrasil core in 2U? Story Mode party, lvl 60. Can't take an Armageddon.

>>135166167
Rush it down. When you take down both irae and odium, set up for as long as you need and then go all out (even if he revives those irae, as long as he doesn't put up the mental barrier you can damage the core). Don't be shy to use the offensive breaks when the counter gets to 1, it's not like you'll get to a second force boost.
And leave Bertrand's force boost untouched, just in case that isn't enough and you need to use his force.

Playing EO2U in classic mode. Can i just skip Guningagap? It's boring, the design is awful, monsters are meh, music is bad

EO1 because it was my first and it was literally nine years ago so it's as embedded into my nostalgia as any childhood game would be.

But actually EO3 is probably the best

>>135166996
It's totally optional in Classic Mode. But actually I liked Ginnungagap more than the rest of the game. Especially with the FM synth music on. It felt like a EO Wizardry crossover or something.

This will always be my favorite EO song. It's sad, bittersweet, but has that slight uplifting hopeful turn towards the end. A lot of people skip over it for songs like cherry tree bridge or whatever but for me it's an underappreciated gem. It was my favorite part of my EO1 playthrough when my redhead Landsknecht girl decided she had to become stronger to protect all her comrades, so I sent her solo down into the dungeon, and she wandered on that one giant wide open endless wasteland floor for days, overcoming all the trials and finally coming back worn, dusty, and brimming with power.

>>135170879

>try EOU story mode
>it nonchalantly spoils the twist within the first half hour

Fucking why? Wasn't the story for bringing newcomers to the series? Why would they purposefully do that to new players? The worst part is that the game feels like it still wants to to be surprised when you reach the fifth stratum and the huge reveal about that certain character.

>>135180858
Wants you to be surprised*

My bad.

I don't understand elemental attacks, in EO3, Breakfire Fist is both strike and fire elements? So it hits for effective in both weaknesses? And Blitzritter is both pierce and thunder?

>>135180858
It only spoils the twist if you've already played EO1.

>>135176770
In addition, the Eyepatch Buccaneer has a Raiho on his eyepatch if you look closely at the official art.

>>135180858
>spoils the twist
Only a retard would expect the same twist twice. This time, the twist is something else.

>>135181149
No, it doesn't, because modern/slightly more advanced technology than today is seen as ancient technology in old ruins, and Ontario still exists but is now a monarchy. Anyone with a brain can piece together what this means. On story mode, that stuff is presented at the beginning for world building purposes so players just come to accept that as part of the world. At the same time, it's still presented as a surprise in the fifth stratum for some reason.

>>135181484
Yes it does. Newcomers that choose story mode won't know about the obvious twist of the original, they're just gonna get told about a different story, presented in a different way, because, holy shit man, that's the whole point of story mode!!! who would have guessed, right?

Stop being a retard thinking everyone knows all about the series they're just getting into.

>>135181484
I guess every character in Fire Emblem is from Italy then.

retard

>>135180858
Because this time they had something else to stand on other than this shitty twist.
Plus...
>>135181484
Even with Ontario there was no firm evidence to claim it was the same world. Specially since absolutely nobody in the game other than the two people who were alive back then had the faintest idea of what the world was like a thousand years ago.

Moreover, was it REALLY supposed to be a twist in EOU? Ricky already knew how it would look so there was no surprise to her. The other ones knew nothing, so they would react in exactly the same way to that as they would do to some rainbow-colored cyber-dungeon or the hallways of Laputa.
This isn't the Planet of the Apes. There's no outsider here that later learns he wasn't such other than the player himself, which is rendered null because this time there's another story to tell.

>>135181017
If you use an attack with two or more elements, the game will only use the element the enemy's weakest to for damage calculations. If you use Breakfire against an enemy that's weak to strike and immune to fire, the enemy will be weak to the attack.

Only for primal drums. Their summons are a waste of the sixth slot.

>>135183727
I don't think they've done that.

>>135183727
They almost never have. In general, the only times when they had Japanese audio is when the game was so niche and the audio licensing fees were so cheap that they went Japanese audio-only, like with Tears to Tiara and Dungeon Travelers 2.

The Odin Sphere remake has it, but presumably because the original game did. Arena had it and dual text, but it was region locked because it came out two weeks after the Japanese version. Ultimax had dual audio in battle because of online, but that was it.

Atlus recently did a poll on dual audio that got so many responses they closed it in like four hours, but we don't know the results, nor have we gotten any games yet that the data could influence.

>>135186240
Troubs can use swords, but there's usually not much reason to give them one unless it raises TEC or TP by a significant amount, and Staves are usually better for that.

Are the books in EO3 unique items? Or can I get an unlimited amount of them to get all the stats to 99 later on?

They can use staves and swords too, you know. And when it come to real damage I use them for elemental attacks since the rest of my party does fine without them.

It's pretty much the new feature. Everything else we know for now is pretty much the standard of the series.
You could argue that there's also class ultraspecialization and race skills, but those have been discussed to hell and back as well with what very little we have.

Moreover, voices are the only feature in danger of suffering Atlus USA's bullshit.

>"Oh, a joke about Canada, haha okay"
Maybe if she'd said she was from "a city built on the ruins of an ancient province known as Ontario" it would have ruined the real twist, but as it is, traveling through the ruins of Shinjuku was still shocking.

Untold wasn't my first EO game, so I barely registered the presence of ancient technology. I'll grant that it might have been more obvious to someone mulling over the past civilization while they made references to places like Ontario.

>>135200247
True ending has a harder final story bossfight. Which is mandatory for filling the monstrous codex & item conpendium.
Also, each ending (excluding true ending) unlocks a new class.
Personally I'd say to play any ending, followed by the other ending followed by the true ending.

btw you can start a ng+ file to get the other endings, right? do you keep your characters at their levels?

>>135200948
Yes you do. In the later games you can choose what to bring over, I'm not sure if you can in EO3. Keep in mind though, that quests can only be completed once between all games. Once a quest is completed it's gone for good - or until you start an entirely new game.

>>135201157
>that quests can only be completed once between all games

why would this be a problem, though?

I'm guessing that in following playthroughs you can just rush through all floors real quick to get the other endings?

Yes, but you have to reopen all shortcuts.

>>135201309
Yeah, you can do. It can just make raising a new party a pain when you don't have the extra XP coming in through quest completion.

i'm playing untold 2 and there's no more quests i can accept and the only one i have going is the princess piece which i can't turn in
someone told me to beat ur child and there will be more quests, but i did that and there's nothing
what do?

>>135202687
Talk to the people in the bar, I think you have to do that even after you get the last piece necessary for Princess.

EO4 because the world feels so grand and the character building system is intuitive & allows for more interesting and balanced builds than in 1-3. Also best music

2 is my second favorite though

Snipers are pretty great if you know how to use them. Its easy to call a class shit when you use it the wrong way. Medics are so shit (at dps), Arcanists are so shit (at healing), Imperials are so shit (at consistent dps).

>>135210058
First boss fight. Spam arm bind until it runs out of TP and don't land it once.
Meanwhile an arcanist can land binds on multiple enemies with more consistency

Git gud, my first try was tough too, then I realised poison and three nightseekers fuck him up REAL good.

Which subclass should I set for each of them?

>>135214065
>>135214284
Actually im retracting that, it'll be out in april due to voice acting taking up a lot of time. January if no voice acting, pril if voice acting.

What would be the absolute coolest thing you could add to etrian odyssey that doesn't have to do with mechanics/gameplay at all exclusively stuff related to the story or setting that you receive in conversational dialogues

>>135214480
everybody as ninja

>>135214480
Off the top of my head:
Hoplite/Zodiac or Ninja
Don't know about Bucc, never used one.
Prince/Monk (other way around is much better)
Zodiac/Ninja
Wilding...
Wilding is the worst class, not only in EO3, but in the entire series.

What boss attack archetype do you hate dealing with the most?

>it's a boss that stands ready on a turn just as you set up all your chases and counters every attack

Hidden quests that no one would ever think to look for that give you OP gear, or alternatively, an extremely long questline that give you an IOU at the end, where the IOU is an alternative new game plus that gives a different storyline altogether.
Alternatively >>135215136

>>135215041
Isn't it Ninja/Zodiac the good combo instead of the other way around?

>>135215087

>Bosses that get free moves

Expect more of that shit in EOV, along with field effects.

>>135215289
If you make your back row Z/N N/Z Z/N you get free nukes.

>>135215087
This is only really bad if it doesn't fall into some kind of set pattern (ie. Every fifth turn).
Mirror shield, or whatever it's called makes the Blizzard Dragon a complete piece of shit to fight.

>>135215468
but what do you achieve by subclassing a Zodiac with ninja?

>>135214480
Your team makeup is.. messed up because the 6th slot is critical for a few things.

Wildling is the worst class in the series and the brave few who do use it, generally go Wildling/Ninja, only to Otori the Tiger for massive counter attacks. If you continue down the Wildling path it will be used as a Drumbot for random battles and the tiger/otori combo is heavy on the TP until late/mid game.

Hoplite/Ninja shines, double line guards, double element guards, etc. but the whole 6th slot thing.

Prince/Monk, however Monk/Prince is stronger with healing.

Zodiac is also fairly weak, but with Zodiac/Bucc for quicker Limits, you can put out great burst damage with the right element Limit and Ether Charge.

Buccaneer is.. I dunno I never used them.

I always struggle with patterns and never get the elemental walls

I hate the elemental walls in principle because:
>spend 4-6 points in them
>get to next floor/stratum and it's completely useless

>>135215685
Better evasion so attacks won't dunk you as easily, a way to regain TP, Dark Ether on both rows, extra damage from Bunshin explosions with Fire/Ether Mastery and occasionally Singularity. It's worse than Ninja/Zodiac in a lot of ways, but still not the worst thing you can do with one. I've had a surprising amount of success using a Zodiac/Gladiator in the front row, Maces hit hard and adding Ice Element makes them do a surprising amount with the damage boosting passives.

>>135216330
>get to post-game

You don't need more than 3 points in them before post game. And if it bothers you that much, you can always rest the character.

>>135216330
I find elemental walls irritating because they make the tank archtype damn near mandatory for some boss fights, and absolutely mandatory for post game

Anything about your playstyle you suspect is peculiar?

I never equip rings/accessories. Just shields/plate/boots/helms etc

>>135216581
Don't be lazy

>>135217019
I'm glad EOIII has subclasses and two ways of negating elemental attacks for that reason. It makes splitting the elemental blocks between 3 characters less redundant and allows to use the the other two for more stuff.

>>135216948
eve online

>>135217332
>I never equip rings/accessories
I did that until I noticed my back row didn't need that much defense.
And even to your front row, those few extra points in defense aren't going to save you from a one-tic-kill poison
Also stopped using helms because they rarely include nice bonuses for just a little more def than gloves and boots and are much slower.

>>135218078
I usually throw a shield/helm combo on my protector if the helm has something nice like 'bash resist ^' or an elemental resistance. The speed boost from boots doesn't help a protector much since so many of their skills get priority or don't matter

If I like EO should I pick up SMT games? Strange Journey looks fun.

>>135219586
They are nothing alike.

>>135218321
Well, the tank is my one exception. They either get priority or are the slowest, plus they'll be taking hits, so there I accumulate as much defense and resistances as I can.

>>135219586
SJ suffers from EO3's problem where every couple of floors they make you drop everything and report back to town/base.

Except in SJ it's more like every floor.

I got into them in parallel (Persona Q being the branch that connected the two for me). Currently have Soul Hackers and played a bit of the NES original.

>>135221514
>and there are things you cant do in the first game that you can in the second
Kind of shit since one normal run in EO can take up to 120 hours.

>>135224326
Only if you're going for 100% completion.

>>135221514
I hate it when RPGs force you to do a NG+ for completion.
It's just a shitty way to inflate the play time that doesn't bring anything actually good.

>>135224771
With Kamidori there were three routes so each run was different enough from the last to merit doing that. Also depending on how you put stats into the main costumes each run could have significantly different play

>>135223978

You return the child doll to its mother and father doll, and presumably, as a reward, they reward you with a powerful Death forged Axe for your trouble as you walk away.

The horrifying part is that if you return to inspect the doll family any time after that, it says that the doll family has been mercilessly smashed and the pieces strewn about in the corner.

>>135224949
Those are justified. Others, however, are "you must beat the game once to unlock this quest" or "you can't do this in time unless you carry over sutff into a NG+", where the locked content has absolutely no relation with the differences between runs or what you learn during the ending.

>>135225258
Well, a doll HAVING an axe specifically linked to death is scary enough.
But yeah, whatever else is lurking in that dungeon...
WHO MADE THE SOUP?

>>135225279
Kamidori had exclusive NG+ content too but it doesn't sting when you're doing it to play a second or third route though.

I get what you mean and am not disagreeing with you. I feel like it would be okay to have these in EO since it has story mode now. You can beat story (or classic) first and then have a NG+ other version with extra literally anything to help keep it fresh

>>135225489
I'm not exactly a fan of how Untold is handling this either, since you end up giving up on a complete file for one mode.

Although if it were more in line with EO3, I might be fine.

>>135225782
You can have like 9 now, what's the problem with that?

>>135226254
autism

What if it did it like pokemon and in NG+ when you got to the core chamber you encountered your previous party and they attacked you because they were corrupted by the core

Alternatively it would be pretty cool to be able to set up hostile 5-man parties to fight against in town for practice and fun to test out builds or whatever the fuck

>>135225448
I forgot about the soup, I mean, why would it be there? I bet Dalla did it.

I guess I'll go back and eat it, I mean, is just soup, right?

Did you pet the squirrels

>>135226254
Not so much now, but I'll still have either my classic file missing a badge or the story one. Onless I go through the whole game one more time.

>このように地図や設定をつくったのですが、今作『世界樹V』では各地を旅することはありません。(Ⅲの海やⅣの空といった他の舞台はありません)
Apparently there won't actually be world map traversal like in III (sailing) and IV (flying). The bit after explains that this is because customers were telling them that dungeon-crawling and map-drawing are the essence of Etrian Odyssey.

>>135235972
Well they have a point there. I'd rather a large dungeon than a small dungeon with an overworld.

>>135235972

Damn, I liked the sailing puzzles and the NPCs' stories for each of their battles was like a whole entire narrative separate from the main game.

You know the get-rich quick farmer that gives you tips on the monsters and labyrinth itself in exchange for drinks? He's one of the guys you can fight the Elder Dragon alongside. There were actual character arcs for NPCs and I thought that was so cool; was worth the uneven xp.

Hopefully these new Adventure Episodes flesh out the world and characters similarly.

>>135235972
FUCK YES. You don't know how happy and hyped this makes me.

>>135235972
I actually liked 4's Flying, but I'll take larger dungeons over it.

That's because they changed Paladins to protectors. We could have just had Pa/Pr but nope.

Because Teach ain't a saint or a holy girl. :^)

Rapelope triggers

>>135257768
I don't really know about that, but I remember them saying that before 4, in order to actually had to alter the game's code in order to get the translationsame in

You don't even need to crop nnS' work, it's sfw! Tentacle rape isn't lewd if it's in the belly button.

And that's why we can't have nice things. There's always the idiot that thinks that every part of the game that they don't like is taking away half of the unspecified resources of the parts they do like.

>>135235972
Are you serious? The flying in IV was basically dungeon exploration without random encounters. Made the world feel more real, too.

The 'world map' in III was more like an optional puzzle minigame. I don't think any part of it is mandatory, is it? How the hell does that take away from the dungeon crawling?

>>135262691
I bet they just couldn't figure out a good cheap way to do that without repeating skyships and just transfered the blame to "dear customers whose voices had to be heard".

>>135262827
Honestly, I wouldn't have minded another skyship. Selecting your destination from a menu isn't exactly innovative either.

>>135262691
Not him but IV is my first and current and I love the adventuring feel that flying to the labyrinths gives.

Considering that, should my next EO be III, or 2 Untold?

>>135262949
I wouldn't mind either, but look at that map. EO4 had 4 confined maps for 6 strata. They'd need at least twice as many and way bigger maps to cover all the shit we can see, with exits in multiple directions. And some excuse to limit access that isn't "narrow passage with strong winds" every single time.

Basically, they're cutting corners and removing whatever falls away from their expertise zone.
Challenges should be left to the player, not the developer is what they must be thinking

>>135262975
They're both really good. 2 Untold is kind of easy, though, but the character building is pretty streamlined compared to III.

Problem with the DS EO games is that there are a lot of 'wasted' skill points you need to spend to unlock other skills, so that you sometimes don't get any real character growth for five or ten levels. 2 Untold and especially IV fix this.

III does have subclassing though, so there's a lot of flexibility. And I liked the atmosphere better than 2 Untold's.

Personally I played 1U>IV>III>2U, but only 2U after III becaue it wasn't out until February here.

>>135263234
Yeah, the seaside town thing really jives with me. Plus, I was sold on the "one giant labyrinth" concept vs. IV's multiple ones by having it described as you delving deeper and deeper into a hole until you eventually find eldritch abominations. Also sailing.

Wasn't a fan of the grimoire shit when I played the 2U demo, even if it was improved compared to 1U. Just seems convoluted.
