Just started Wu-Tang guild in EO IV

what would their classes be?

>>136030953
Probably because they don't want people to sit around doing math equations whenever they get a skill point. Although this doesn't actually work since the target audience is the kind of people who want to do exactly that. So others do extensive testing (or datamining) and post the results online so that those people can sit around doing math equations.

For example they probably didn't intend for me to build an entire team and decide what skills they would get (and in what order) before I got EOIV but I did anyway.

>>136031104

>EO3
>bad

I'm sure you mean bad aftertaste, since you will never feel satisfied killing either of the bosses.

Even the Progenitor, one made solely to eradicate and dominate a weaker race, cared for a girl enough to help her with her quest to find her brother

It's my headcanon that he actually loved Gutrune to do all that.

>>136031772
Haha, I already did that. Raekwon is my runemaster. I'm thinking Method for Sniper, RZA for bushi.

>>136031561

Speaking of datamining, I heard somewhere they did it for EO4? Where is it located so I can examine those raw datas myself?

>>136031643
Probably, especially considering how it gave me EOI vibes: "Obey us and do our missions or we'll hate you forever".

Even the true ending was very unsatisfying. Progenitor just ends being another victim who wanted something better for the Deep Ones and the two siblings just leave. Like, what was the point, then?

And one of the best parts of EO1, too.

30. I actually just beat her like 3 hours ago. It was actually a very fun and challenging battle. Make sure to bind her head and legs; binding her head stops the regeneration and ailment skills, while the leg binds stop her main attacks and removes the evasion boosts she may have. Also, you might want to poison the bees so they still take damage even if you don't hit them. I got a Poison Breath Grimoire and gave it to Simon and it procs quite often on at least one.

Get the hell out of my town.

It's not even a fucking box. It's a sign.

I recently finished Persona Q which is, at the moment, my favorite 3DS game (and I hate Persona to be honest). I'm about to start IV. Or Untold, not sure which one should I play first. However, I've been hearing nothing but bad things about IV. Why? Is this game really worse than previous EO games? (I played and finished I, II and III)
Also, how hard is EO IV compared to Persona Q? I had no problems playing that game on hard from the start. There were some difficult parts, but once you start killing FOEs and getting better personas... it's a lot easier.

>>136042591
No, in fact 4 is overall better than the previous games.

>>136042591

It's easier than the others and has some dungeon length issues, but it's still a solid game.

>>136042591

It's hated because it's easy.

>>136043117
Oh...
Not too easy, I hope.

There's space on the status screen for another tab after race and class skills. We don't know shit yet.

In exchange, each class will have a race class out of the possible 4 with different skill trees.

A forced sub-classing, so no one complains about overpowered combination.

>>136047954
I'm not sure of the sound of that. It's not like the general skills in other titles were that interesting.

>>136049423

Given how tiny and shit 4's dungeons are, they kinda do

>>136049423
Have you forgotten the floors that were nothing more than a giant open room with nothing in them? Or the ones that were solely dedicated to a single boss?

>>136049435
I didn't think they were done well for the most part, if you misclicked my post. They could be done really well, if they were completely different to the main dungeon in an area. Having floors of the dungeon just taken out and put somewhere else on the overworld is a bad idea.

>>136049573
>Having floors of the dungeon just taken out and put somewhere else on the overworld is a bad idea.
You haven't explain why.

>>136031139
why does this have a general

I thought the games were just samey dungeon crawlers,

>>136049624
Because I thought the overworld was a shitty idea and it breaks muh immersion to leave the dungeon to deal with it. If the dungeons were more interesting, or the overworld less irritating then it would be less of a hassle.

>>136050163
>celebrating the removal of good features

>>136049624
The side dungeons are small making them have uninteresting layouts due to lack of space. They also frequently included gimmicks to try to make them semi-memorable.

This is made even worse by the fact that the final floor in the "real" dungeons is also gimped in size to make way for the fifth "dungeon" which is basically one long corridor.

>>136049435
Because they're all fucking tiny

>>136050269
If they thought they were good features they wouldn't be removing them to begin huh boyo.

>>136050616
Because they can clearly be trusted with making good decisions, hence the inclusion of grimoire stones and voice acting, while removing subclassing and other good features.

>fat old woman in EOU2 inn
>sounds 15

>>136050672
I agree with Komori when he said that subclassing was too powerful, they gave it a chance with 2 games and even after nerfing it, that didn't work out. And since the fans said so, they said they should focus more on what the series is about: dungeon crawling

For EOU2 Gunner, should I be getting double action asap? The skills in the HP line don't look great but point blank under attack looks much better than act quick

Other than them specifically saying they want to avoid the coverage that subclasses and grimoires provide.
Considering how few skills fencer has, it's probably a "specialization path" for each class, so you can't pick skills from both sides of the tree.

I started with EO1 and 4 is still my favorite, between the new additions and the interesting side-characters. I felt the overworld and multiple dungeons helped break up the tedium the previous games sometimes suffered from by adding some variety.

Would you classify me as a "eo4 babby"?

Which game, would you say, has the perfect amount of story? Did you like Untold's story mode? 3 and 4's NPC-driven narrative? Or did you prefer the relatively hands-off style of 1 and 2, where the story is told in bits and pieces?

>>136063613
The middle one. I like my characters being important in the events unfolding but also dislike all that "chosen one" jazz where your character is the one and only that could ever do the deed.

The former were quite uninteresting and didn't have a place for your own characters anyways. The later had just not enough fuel, although I'll admit it's marvelous how such simplistic stories could also be so nonsensical.

Guys, this franchise is sucking my lifeforce and productivity. Sat down at 9:00 just to play a little bit of IV before moving on to things I need to do. I ended up going to bed at 2:00. EO is not a good nighttime game.

>>136042591
Are you me? PQ is pretty much how I discovered EO. I bought IV alongside it and am playing in parallel, but definitely prefer IV. Persona is annoying as fuck and only good in small doses, and it doesn't feel like a grand adventure like EO does. Also EOIV defintiely feels more challenging and engaging than PQ.

Funny thing about builds, some only work early game, while others only work end game.

For example, my autogrind team is four A/N with instadeath forged weapons. I'm not sure if the ailment boost from the master tier skill list boost their proc chance, but I have yet to see any non-boss mobs make it past the first round of auto attacks. This team setup would not work early game because of the lack of instadeath gear. It really only works late to endgame when you have the skill points and means to get fully forged death weapons.

I though that way too, then I realized I could play pretend and act like its the children of the first adventurers stepping into their parents shoes. What I did was retire my first team after beating the main storyline and getting everyone to 70, then after I beat the three dragons and got them to 99 I retired them for a new team, then after beating the fallen one I retired them again for the "final" team of B/N F/D I/R N/B A/M, which really seemed to be the best balanced team I could muster.

It's actually surprising, when I came to the general it was to answer a quest someone had as I was scrolling by, and it was like my brain just opened the "etrian" folder and dumped everything I knew at once.

As for teams, I have a large variety, I have me instagib team, my superboss dance squad, and my balanced group, in addition to the power rangers imperials, and currently working on a team of wufans.

I hope they put the Train option in EO5 like they did for EOU2's story. I also hate Retire because I grow attached to my characters (except for EO4 for some reason) and I want them and only them to take on the final challenge the labyrinth has to offer.

EOU is ten dollars so I finally bought it.

Story Mode in the demo absolutely infuriated me so I'll just start with Classic and then treat NG+ Story/Gladsheim as very poorly conceived DLC.

Is Mediko completely fucking useless like in EO2 and EO2U?

>>136074460
Medics are awesome in EOU.

>>136074460
Gladsheim stratum is great, at least the bosses there are great.

>>136074661
Also, even if you didn't ask, Protectors are also way better in EOU. I hated the fact that they nerfed both Medics and Protectors in U2 to oblivion just because of War Magi and Beasts.

>>136074460
>>136074832
Is that dungeon exclusive to Story Mode? I want to try it but I absolutely do not want to play Story.

>>136075025
Yes and it's the only way you'll get all medals

>>136075025
In EOU1, yes. Story Mode has a lot of exclusive content.
But because people like you, they fixed it in Untold 2 so both modes have the same amount of content (except the Hero of that game)

I still don't get why Line Guard is seem as an important skill

Reduces 50% damage but only for 1 turn and effect is halved if you use it on the other line, also only reduces physical damage

Compare to Guard Order, reduces damage taken by 45% but lasts for 3 turns and can be used on either line without problem, and reduces magical damage as well

And Scruffy medic is without a doubt my favorite, with Evil-eye Shogun/Old War Magus in a close second.

>>136116363
The class formerly known as Prince's older male, Afro Nightseeker and Witch Doctor Magus are probably my favorites out of the male characters.

I usually use my handle for one of the leading ladies on the cover, which so far has included Shishou, Princess and Bowlcut Landshark. I used my actual name for Highlander in Untold 1, but that's the only time I've bothered to do so.

I don't really know how to classify that as a weapon.

>>136127647
Are those coffins like the Zodiac's light spears, where they're just a part of the portrait, or is the blacksmith actually going to sell you coffins?

>>136128059
I'm going to assume it'll just be something in the portrait and they'll use staffs.

Alchemists were supposed to use their gloves for magic, but it was a portrait only thing too

>>136128297
I kinda wish the attack power of the mage's weapons actually affected their magic abilities

>>136127647
I'll never stop being thankful to you for giving us a class whose official attire is a naked hoodie, Himukai.

I hope the Warlock has the ability to work as a front line spellsword type. It'll be so disappointing if his only function is yet another generic mage-type that EO hasn't once done anything interesting with; it'd be a shame to waste that amazing design and the magic sword they carry.

>>136129000
I'm absolutely in agreement.

>>136129507
I think they may end up having some sort of skill path using that sword - it's too much of a stand out part of their portrait to ignore. Plus, I couldn't imagine that being used in any way but as a sword - it doesn't look like a wand/staff at all

>>136129507

Help me with EO3, guys, I need to grind back the levels I lost when resting some of my characters, how can I do it?

>>136131179
I don't see the Hound being front viable. the Shaman on the other hand may work in both rows, like the Dancer or Princess. Or not.

The Reaper looks like a front liner unless scythes not sickles, fucking japs have properties of a spear.

>>136131179
Hunter seems very likely to be a back row only class, a la Snipers and Survivalists.

>>136131385
Can you scylla cheese yet? If so do that. If not, just grind random encounters

>>136131179
Well, if you account for how magic classes are usually used and how hound has bows, they'd tend to go to the back row.
Tanks also tend to work well in the back but they're as ambivalent as it gets.
However, I'd be surprised if back row reaper weren't significantly worse than front row reaper.

Anyways, the balance it's quite delicate and it falls onto how well warlock performs in the front row.

>>136131521
>Hunter
I mean Hound.

>>136131521
Survivalist could do front.

They were certainly better in the back, but it wasn't like they couldn't work in front.

>>136131434
>The Reaper looks like a front liner unless scythes not sickles, fucking japs have properties of a spear.
I'm gonna have to assume that they'll have a skill path that's somewhat status/bind/debuff based, because there doesn't seem to be a dedicated class for any of those yet.

I'm guessing the Necro and the Reaper will split those responsibilities.

>>136131924
And you can technically put all kinds of things, like Medics and Alchemists (non-Palm), up front, but that's very far from ideal. It'd be a stretch to say they were designed for both rows.

>>136031358
All Bushi's and black Imperials

>>136131924
>They were certainly better in the back, but it wasn't like they couldn't work in front
It was kinda forced and you can work like that with many, if not most, back-rowers.
Usually, the only reason to do so is "there wasn't room on the back row".

>status/bind/debuff based, because there doesn't seem to be a dedicated class for any of those yet
Cestus can bind.
Although so could wildling, gunner and sniper and we know how good they were at that.

>>136131924
>I'm guessing the Necro and the Reaper will split those responsibilities.
From what we saw, Necro had a variety of corpse explosion skills and even some healing.

>>136132223

I guess that makes sense. It could be explained as some kind of grappling style of fighting.

>>136132403

Necro has these in the stream

>ghost summoning - takes some of your hp to summon a ghost. summonable while dungeon-crawling
>fiery explosion - fire attacks to all enemies at the cost of 1 ghost
>poison explosion - causes poison to all enemies at the cost of 1 ghost
>life's consideration - heals your party at the cost of 1 ghost
>moan of the dead - reduces all defenses for a single enemy for 3 turns at the cost of 1 ghost
>weight of a soul - increases your party's magical defense for 3 turns at the cost of 1 ghost

Reaper does ailments as well, I think.

>>136133141
Do we know if we can summon more than one ghost at a time?

At least 2, maybe more.

>>136122454
>>136123012
Yeah, but I have a legit copy without a modded/hacked 3DS. Or an Action Replay/Power Save.

>>136133141
I hope there will be passive abilities to summon ghosts automatically. It seems like it'd be kinda annoying to keep resummoning.

Is Landsknecht or Dancer a better subclass for Nightseeker? I'm just thinking that Speed Boost and Fan Dance could make me nearly untouchable, but the elemental attacks will also go really well with my Runemaster.

Or homebrew. Or DS games for most non-6th gen needs.

>Speed Boost and Fan Dance
I believe those two are bugged if you try to combine them.

Considering all that necromancer can do in a "heavily specialized game", resummoning will probably be the balancing factor.

>>136134104
Probably not, since they give you the option to summon them out of battle. You'll probably get the ability to increase the max amount of ghosts allowed.

>>136134452
I knew it was too good to be true.

Thinking about it, does the Nightseeker even need a subclass?

>>136135114
Arcanist is a good subclass, for ailment boost.
NS's main class takes up so many skill points, there's not much to spare for the subclass anyway.

That's true. Is there any downside to selecting a subclass? I could always just set a subclass and put the extra five points into the Nightseeker class and never upgrade the subclass at all.

>>136136550
>Is there any downside to selecting a subclass?
No.
Even if you don't plan on using a subclass, you should always get one anyway for the extra points.

Well, what do you know? She can look proper when she wants to, unlike the usual hexers.

Hexers are still fine though
