Looks like enemy HP is back to normal.

"Oh, and the HP totals of enemies and bosses are a lot less than in EO2U. Nothing in the game reaches the amount of HP Ur-Child and Ur-Devil had in EO2U."

Playing EO4.

Just got raped by a big-ass monster thing during my second dungeon, then after I escaped an angry baboon from the first one fucked me.

Is that scripted so I don't try to run from the encounter if I get found by it?

Also how do I recover magic points or whatever? I get HP after each battle thanks to my healer, but my Runemaster is shit after a couple of battles because it burns through it so fast. Should I use a hexer or whatever instead?

>>149628234
I think those skills in the skill list are just the new forge system skills. You can forge enemy skills onto your weapons which is why so many of them have claw and stuff or some of them are doubles of class skills. One of them is Charge though

>>149628238
Nah, not scripted. Just EO working its magic.
You don't really recover TP much unless it's an emergency, try to conserve it and don't be afraid to go back to town often, especially early on. Runemaster gets a huge boost from all the free TP after level 20.

>>149628238

If you're talking about big monsters that you can see outside of battle that move around when you do, those are FOEs and they're meant to fuck your shit up the first time you encounter them, so avoid them.

There's an item that recovers TP but it's expensive, difficult to get, and really should only be used for boss fights. Instead, just head back to the inn and rest to recover health and TP and always carry 2 Ariadne Threads.

>>149628238
>Is that scripted so I don't try to run from the encounter if I get found by it?
If you mean you were fighting some regular mob monster and a FOE showed up, you can run from those fights, though it's not 100% guaranteed and may take a few tries.

>Also how do I recover magic points or whatever?
Early game your options are very limited. Eventually you'll get some items, but mostly you'll just have to go to the inn. Try to conserve it by not immediately nuking everything with your Runemaster In other words, take some extra damage and some extra time to finish off mobs with weaker attacks, in exchange for saving TP. Also make sure you don't level up skills so fast that you can't pay the TP costs.

No Hexers in IV. What other classes are you using?

>>149628509
>level fucking 20

ayylmao. It'll take me a long to get there.

>>149628547
Yeah, I tried but got into an encounter and it reached me, killed three of my guys then when I ran away I apparently got fucked by RNG and ran into a baboon FOE just outta nowhere.

>>149628780
>got fucked by RNG and ran into a baboon FOE just outta nowhere.
Nah, you can see them coming at you on the screen and on your maps. When you're in a room with FOEs, keep an eye on your enemy radar and don't let yourself get caught up in battles when you're standing a few tiles away from the big-ass FOEs. Run into the next room and trigger a fight there if you have to.

>I want a game where I actually need to plan out my skill distribution
We all know that you only get to use 3-5 skills per characters and I'm not even talking about cookie-cutter parties. The tank class and magic are the only classes that actually get to use more than 5 skills

How well will Landsnekcht/Medic/Protector/Sharpshooter/Bard do me for an initial party in EOU?

>>149629079
>how do I get him to dualwield daggers
Give them a point in Blade Furry, go to the equipment screen and put a dagger in the second slot.
Keep the Fortress qt on the front row and they'll recover TP every time they get attacked.

>No, like, just a random encounter like when you find butterflies or whatever? Except this time I got babooned.
In that case it wasn't a FOE at all, and just a particularly strong mob enemy. You can still run from them, you'll notice escape chances improve if you have a dead character or two.

>Also when do I get my 6th spot in the party?
You'll sometimes get a guest character starting in the 2nd stratum. Not permanent though, usually the 6th slot is empty.

>>149629079
FOEs don't show up at random, they can only enter random encounters by walking into them. The baboon you fought wasn't an FOE, but a regular enemy.

You never get a (permanent) 6th party member. IV will offer you a few NPCs to use as 6th characters at points, but nothing that lasts or of your own choosing.

Just take anything that improves link and elemental damage. Linksharks usually have teammates that cater to them as well, so a sniper with Squall Volley or any other party member with skills that hit multiple times is good.

>>149644508
>>149644397
Yep, even more bosses there had vulnerabilities to various ailments and binds, and while Force was annoying to get early on, it guaranteed landing a triple bind(and an ailment in Hexer's case). Also Revenge was spammable and did heavy damage if you could safely keep your Hexer at low HP(which Triple Binds can help with). And of course there was Ronin spamming Midareba without the need for a stance for ensuring everything dies quickly.

>>149644397
>>149644508
What about them is broken?

Currently trying out 7th Dragon on the 3ds. It seems alright so far, but does it get any challenging at all? I literally auto-battled my way up to the first boss and i'm bored to tears so far. Also is there any more customization after this? I've been using the same skills for 5 levels now.

>>149645101
Climax and Revenge, full-stop.
At max level, Climax ALWAYS inflicted instant death on any enemy not 100% immune to it if they were at or below 55% HP, including bosses and FOEs.
Revenge at max level deals damage equal to the Hexer's max HP minus their current HP, times 2.5. Paired with a Troubadour with Stamina, which increases max HP, a Hexer with full HP investment (999 after Stamina) and 1 current HP could do a total of 2495 damage per turn. The original EO2 had much lower HP on enemies, so this easily punched through a good 1/3 of even Scylla's health bar in one attack.

Why is eo4 so much cheaper than U1 and U2? I want to start with the first game but it's like 50 dollars vs 4 which is barely 26? Scalpers?

>>149645628
>Why is eo4 so much cheaper than U1 and U2?
It's older than either of the Untold games. Older games are cheaper.
Duh.

>>149633537
U2 because it has my favorite class roster, dungeons and hub town without all the fucked up balance issues and poor design choices that vanilla 2 had.

>>149644273
I didn't even run a Hexer or Dark Hunter and I never had that much issue with the U2 bosses.
My party was Highlander, War Magus, Survivalist, Gunner and Alchemist and I was able to kill bosses faster than in Story mode.

>>149645528
You unlock skills every few chapters

The curve of the game is kinda casual desu so don't expect any real difficulty spikes except during the party splits

>>149646886
That's a bummer. I was hoping for something more challenging since it's from the EO director and all.

>>149645528
The only challenging battles in that game are against the bosses and a couple annoying roaming monsters. There are a ridiculous amount of game breaking combinations with all the skills you have available by mid to late game, though some take a bit more effort to figure out than others. If you want challenge you're probably going to want to do a low level run, with the way skill points work in that you don't really need levels for anything, especially with how weak everything short of bosses is.

>>149647005
I told you about those shitty games bro. And that's only the first game, if that somehow wasn't apparent.

"More data mining info. We haven't found anything relating to DLC exclusive enemies or DLC exclusive floors. So it appears any future waves of DLC will purely be cosmetic/grinding related. Most of the base info (mainly stats and names. Models and AI routines were excluded) for said DLC were included within the game data for EO2U. Also there's placeholder portraits for the DLC portraits within the EOV files, so it doesn't make sense for the devs to leave in some parts of DLC and leave out others completely, so I'm absolutely sure about the DLC theory."

Now I wonder what other portraits are available.

just make sure you can bind arms or blind him, he's only got physical attacks

>>149651069
I can do the former. Thanks.

I was gonna run Fencer/Dragoon Necro/Warlock/Shaman, but I kinda wanna use Cestus after reading the details on their skills. Do you think I could survive if I swapped out Dragoon for one?

>>149651130
also he has this attack where he charges up then does an AOE attack, if you can pound him hard enough in two turns he'll flinch, if not get ready to spam defend

>>149651176
Definately.
Especially if you build the Fencer around dodging.
It'd also free slots for your Necro to use

>>149651176
you should be fine if you have your be support and throw up Ghost shields/ Ghost heals, your Fencer/Warlock/Shaman is probably going to be the core of your offense anyway.

>>149652013

Depends on the game. Sometimes he can just use it when he wants.

>>149651226
Right. Bloodbears aren't much of a problem for me now, luckily. Also, fuck me, forgot about the blocked-off path two fucking squares away that I needed a Bloodbear to destroy for me. Hope I haven't locked myself out of something neat.

>>149652080

>>149652209
I reckon that's helpful then. Thanks.

>only good thing about the first title for shaman is three runs for fencer chain synergy, all the other good stuff about the class is in the other title

it's not fair...

>>149652008
Oh yeah, of course.
In that case the necro can be used as a tank, by forcing enemies to attack ghosts

>>149652080
Bears respawn every day. All FOEs that are required for puzzles respawn every day.

>>149651176
In EO2U, running a party without some kind of protection from ailments and binds was completely unviable past a certain point.

You might have to change your party around at some point in V too.

>>149651176
You have a Necro who can have ghouls tank. What you should be more worried about is real healing imo.

>>149653327
Eh, Necro and Shaman both have decent healing capabilities. Necro's heal is very powerful, even.

>>149653649
level 10 of the ghost heal is actually much better than level 10 area herb (270 vs 220). You might be lacking in status/bind protection though since your potato is going the offensive version.

>>149653928
Yeah, I'm kinda worried about ailments/binds honestly, but Warlock doesn't seem like it can squeeze enough chases out of Fencer on its own.

It's kinda BS that even the ailment/bind res up buff is part of the second title. The one that's basically Barrier but consumes a buff is the only one that should be exclusive.

>>149655167
Nigga I don't give a shit about numbers, Im gonna just pick whatever I like based on looks. But now that people can hack their 3DS, we're gonna have people that will just pirate the game and figure everything out about it, and since we also got complete skill translations and access to all the numbers, you can bet discussion will be dead for the English release since you'll just get the same cookie cutter replies, like all the past titles.

I think the first print bonus is the typical sampler CD with art pamphlet unless there's a special edition i don't know about.

Has anyone here killed the owlbear in advanced?
What party did you use?

>>149658438
I haven't lost once to them:

Masurao; Cestus; Reaper
Necromancer; Herbalist

90% of the reason I win so easily is entering the battle with 2/3 ghosts and forcing the owlbear to attack them.
Masurao uses the defnse debuff attack when needed, otherwise spams the stun attack on the best katana in the demo.
Cestus binds arms, then uses One, Two.
Herbalist is just in case I get unlucky with autospawn ghosts.

Is it safe to assume that every class is viable now?

>>149658575
You prefer the binding Cestus to the self damage attack one?

>>149659826
Haven't properly tried the self-damage tree.
I love binding enemies in these games though, and always build a party around it if I can. Locking enemies out of moves is super fun.

>>149669868
Are dragoons bad or something?

Etrian Odyssey V (3DS) – 8/9/9/9 [35/40]

>>149669941
In the demo they're underwhelming.

Necro tanks better, and Dragoon only has 1 damaging skill. Additionally, his bunkers conflit with other classes that use summons.
On a slightly related note; it pisses me off that the only 2 ranged classes both use summon slots. I want my necro to be able to have 3 ghosts out, and have someone to do good ranged damage without using too much TP

Also means you can't have 3 bunkers out if you ever need it.
Also, building a hound around both animals seems wasteful. Since you can only specialise with one of them.

>>149672803
Ahh yeah, I guess you have a point.
I didn't know you even could have 3 Bunkers out at once.
But I knew that specializing in both animals is a waste, I was just speculating.
So what does work with the bunkers? Surely the necro's ghosts would have the same problem, so if i'm planning on using bunkers then that's pretty much all I should use?

>>149672803
the dog can probably survive an AOE if it has a cover skill

>>149672983

Ghosts don't really stay around long enough for you to worry about them and there's so many skills that will auto summon them if they die/are used.

>>149673126
Is it viable to get rid of the Dragoon and use both a Hound and Necromancer in my party?

>>149673192
Yeah, this works; since the hound will only use 1 slot.
Of course, your necromancer will be much more useful with more slots to play with.

>>149673192

I'm sure it's "viable", but bunkers are really good.

>>149673327
I can only talk for the demo; but necromancer makes for a better tank than dragoon. The skill that ensures enemies attack a selceted ghost completely mitigates all dmage your party would take

>>149673327
Ehh, that sounds boring. I don't summoning to finally return, just to only to be used on lifeless cushions that only take damage for the team.

It's not as easy as it seems. You first have to find where the text is located and maybe figure out the compression method Atlus uses so you can reverse engineer it and then insert your own text, not to mention that since English words are longer, you'll have to repoint a bunch of stuff and possibly recode parts of the game so the text doesn't fuck up.

It wouldn't be so bad if there was documentation on the EO engine, but that's never gonna happen since nobody fucking knows EO as a game series.

So, I got myself a used 3DS and Fafnir Knight came along so I started playing.
I'm totally new to this series; just killed the Chimera in the Story Mode. But damn, I'm running out of TP all the time, especially the Fafnir.
Then I looked at the skill tree again and I'm currently trying to reach Force Energy. In the meantime, I'm bypassing the lack of TP in boss fights by using Arianna's Force Break.

Any tips or anything else I could do? Thanks.

>>149694748
TP preservation will always be tougher in the early game. It'll get easier once you progress further. Faf in particular kinds sucks until late game.

You should be fine. Fafnir is a really late bloomer, but you'll get a be ability for him after every major boss fight for the first three stratums or so. His TP is a concern, bu unless you leveled his attacks enough to increase their costs, a single point of Force Energy is enough to cover you for at least the next stratum. You'll get diminishing returns from there, so only add more points when you feel you're starting to stretch your TP stores. Once you get your regular attacks and your TP situated, I'd recommend Force Charge and Force Reset. They'll help you transform more frequently and are relatively cheap, so they'll help with TP management, too.

Who is the best mascot and is it not Ricky?

Is there a translation guide available for the demo? My japanese is next to non-existent.

Can you format this in a less autistic way?

>>149706310
yeah I read the OP but I was walking in the dungeon and suddenly ADVENTURE EPISODE or something to that effect popped up. A dialogue box opened with three options, I chose one, got 150 experience and then it just went away. Is there anything that explains that kind of shit?

>>149706682
Adventure Episodes are the events from previous games that would occasionally happen throughout the game. In V they now give a certain amount of EXP depending on whether you made the "right" choice or not.

>>149707046
So they're still scripted events?

>>149707251
Pretty much. The outcome and EXP gained depends on your choice.
As for what the "correct" options for each even are, it's fuckin' beyond me. Just pick something and pray.
