I woke up today and EOV was still not out yet.

>>169834714
It is out though (in japan)

What is the instant death icon, that black square one? Can FOEs even be instagibbed or they all are immune/have ridiculous resists?

>>169836532
Curse damage I believe

>>169837095
curse is a skull, just as the one you see when you curse something. The only two icons i can't figure out is the first two, especially the black square

>>169837457
first two are stun and instant death

>>169836532
Most FOEs have 10% resistance to instant death and petrification, most bosses 0%.

So you flat out won't be able to instantly kill bosses and it's very unlikely to work on FOEs.
Keep in mind that 10% does not mean it works 10% of the time but rather it's a multiplier.
So if your instant death/petrification skill has 35% chance of actually inflicting its condition it will work 3.5% of the time against FOEs - if you had as much LUC as the FOE (assuming EO2U, other games take both TEC and LUC into account).
But since FOEs have really high stats for the level you are supposed to fight them it is likely even a Hexer has less LUC then they have. Which means the chances that it works are even lower.

That being said, I got the Sky Metal Knight conditional (kill in under 5 turns) with Chained Benefit -> Creeping Curse + Petrifying Stare when I was in no shape to actually fight them.

>Dragon with shining core: "I am growing stronger."

>>169868909
EO2U has more overkill stuff that is either pattern based or a punishment for doing something wrong.
But as you can predict that stuff incoming and have a lot of options do deal with large amounts of damage (Walls, Force Boosts) it's actually not that big of a deal.

On Expert EOU is harder because random encounters are way more dangerous and bosses are way less predictable.
On Standard EO2U is harder because the number tweeking takes the edge out of normally dangerous enemies in EOU but does not do a whole lot about the overkill stuff of EO2U.

You have to ban it or everything turns into a porn dump. See any orange board. Getting offended over it is silly though, I agree with you there.

>>169873483
I can see why you would worry about that but other imageboards where lewd posting is allowed everywhere and there's still not a huge amount of porn unless it's relevant to discussion show that it can work.
If it the distinction between blue and orange would get abolished on 4chan, there might be a higher amount of porn in the beginning because it's new but I'm sure it would calm down pretty quickly.

those weapons can usually be used by any class so you can get any bind/ailment without having them on skills or as consumables

>>169877192
There are three buff and debuff slots each. You can see your buffs by hitting Y and debuffs by hitting Y again.
Enemy buffs/debuffs can only be seen starting with EO2U.
If you cast a new buff/debuff when the list is full the topmost one gets pushed out.

Also oposite buffs and debuffs cancel each other out no matter how strong or weak they are.
So if you get hit by a -90% defence debuff and cast a dinky 10% defence buff the debuff will just get dispelled (but you don't get the buff either).

>>169893989
I don't think there would be a marriage set up for her.
Remember, records of the ritual are spotty at best but the last time it got carried out the Lady of the Mark did not return.
Also keep in mind how utterly naive Arianna is but the only thing her father gave her for the journey are five fucking Medicas.

They never bothered to teach Arianna common sense because they send her to die.

>>169894846
>last time it got carried
that wasn't a normal ritual though

>>169894846
They never bothered to teach Arianna common sense because she's mentally disabled.

>>169894983
Yeah but how would anyone know that?
It gets carried out once every 100 years. So the last time it was carried out successfully was 200 years ago.
That is a long ass time especially at the technological state of the world of EO.
All Arianna got as information about the ritual was "it's important".

Since the botched ritual also lead to the fall of a great noble house it is likely that it is important in the historical records of aristrocrats.
But other even older rituals that ended with "nothing much happened" are less of interest.

>grapple binds
How about locking holds that function as binds, but with added effects? Guaranteed bind if the lock attack hits, bind lasts until the wrestler releases the lock or gets knocked out of it, but maintaining the lock uses the wrestler's turn and characters who attack the locked monster risk a 20% chance of hitting their companion instead. These could lead to follow-up skills like arm twist that would be used during the lock to release it and inflict the corresponding bind.

Added effects:
-Headlock - acc/eva penalties of blind without inflicting the status
-Arm Lock - Monster cannot use standard attack
-Leg Lock - Monster can only attack the wrestler with its physical attacks

>>169928661
Yeah I was thinking of binds that work to bind both the user and the enemy. Maybe submission holds to lower health passively as well.

>>169928661
How would a grappler put monsters without notable heads or arms into a lock?

Hey guys I'm the dude that accidentally deleted his EOU2 save (expert @ 20th floor) a few months back.
I finally got some free time to play vidya so I played up to the 20th floor on picnic and switched back to expert.
Picnic is a complete meme. I was 10 levels lower than I was on expert when I reached the 20th floor so I'm getting my shit pushed in now. I managed to kill a shiny charging rhino but it killed everyone but Bertrand and the MC and they both got 3 levels out of it.

I have a few questions: What is the advantage of "force meter can fill over 100% during battle" and is there any way to reliably get high level grimoire stones?
Picnic is too ezpz which makes the fights extremely short and as a result you get fuckall grimoire stones.

>>169939116
>What is the advantage of "force meter can fill over 100% during battle"
Less turns between transformations. Keep in mind that Fafnir can also cancel his transformation and avoid depleting 100% of the bar, so combining these two skills and moves you can only use once for tranformation you get more mileage out of your force meter.

>>169939116
>force meter can fill over 100% during battle"
Also a trick with Ronins, but I don't know how to build them to be honest.

>>169948903
If you're planning on making that a linking party and taking advantage of binds and ailments, that'll be a solid party. One nice thing about that setup is that you can have your Nightseeker sit in the back row to throw knives and then hop into the front row once an ailment sticks. It's a good way to compensate for the lower defense if your N is dual wielding.

>>169952326
That's probably the way I'll go, thanks.

Is it worth swapping one of them to Arcanist later or just stick to them as a subclass?

>>169953271
If you're primarily linking, Arcanist is probably better left as a sub for your Nightseeker or Sniper, unless you desperately start feeling the need for a Medic; A/M works great for both landing status effects and as a healer. If you go that route, I'd suggest replacing your Nightseeker since they've got the lowest linking potential in that group, then giving your Arcanist the binding circles and making your Sniper more focused on damage skills. Leg bind + Squall Volley is a great combo.

Fuck you for even remembering me

Did I miss anything much by not sleeping at the inn until reaching the 2nd Stratum in EOU2? I totally forgot that inn events existed.

>>169971587
I think there are the most inn events overall in the first Stratum.
There are some dreams about the past (in which you learn that Fafnir and Arianna knew each other) and four others in which the other members of your group have little scenes.

I don't believe much of the stuff in the first stratum inn scenes is that interesting - it's mostly just getting to know the characters.
Slightly deeper conversations (with """movie""" scenes that are just still images with blinking eyes) come later.

Are hexers in 5? I want my OP crutch of keeping shit bounded and statused forever

>>169976098
No.
There is a class that has access to all three binds somewhat like whip Dark Hunters but with lower infliction chances.
But ailments are spread thin.

The second name system gives several classes access to multiple ailments but none of those come even close to the amount of choices Hexers have.
They don't even achieve Archanist levels of variety.

Also most of these classes also deal damage while one of them is one second name of the Medic wannabe.
So there is no class that purely or at least primarily surpresses and controls enemies.

>>169977263

>>169977367
It gets better (or rather: much, much worse).

The healer's second name with ailments is the closest to Hexers as they have the greatest variety (with a measly 5) to choose from and their ailment skills deal no damage.
However their infliction rates are terrible. Really terrible.
The "saving grace" is that the ailment skills debuff the enemy. The debuff makes it more likely for the very ailment they just tried to inflict to stick.
So it's a roundabout strange version of Perseverance from EO2U's Dark Hunter.

Also the healer classes are all native to the midget race who have utterly terrible LUC.
Sure, after handing in the first mission you can reclass any race into any class but it still stings.

I did a ton of grinding for Scylla because
>Expert
And that accelerated me quite a bit afterwards.

>>169922939
Hugmaster (ハグマスター)

>>169981105
The first time I fought Scylla on Expert was a Nightmare.
It was a NG+ classic after a Standard story run.
I made the mistake of thinking Ronin was anything but a waste of space and used one for my team. So my damage was super low.
To beat her I had to use up all Amritas from both the classic run up to that point and the story run before it.

She has so much HP and keeps summoning shit. Fuck her and her fat bull ass.

And fuck Atlus for putting the first opportunity to farm TP restoring items behind her in the 4th Stratum.

>>169982543
>keeps summoning shit.
So just stop killing these, they will respawn anyway next turn. Wear anti leg bind stuff and focus scylla

>>169982679
Have you ever tried this? Did it actually work?

Because the tentacles do not only leg bind you. They also stun their target which disables evasion for the turn. And since they are faster than Cry Soul you still will get hit.
Even then Leg Guard only cuts the chance for leg bind landing in half and there are four tentecles trying to leg bind you.
And every turn they don't cause half or even all of your team to get wiped by Cry Soul they will beat the everliving shit out of your team that also has to deal with Scylla's bullshit.

But yeah, nice Picnic strat you have going there.

>>169983887
Worked for me on standard at least

>>169984480
Then you may be forgiven.
Standard and Expert are really two different beasts.
Hitting your face against the enemy's fists until they give in is a viable strategy in Standard.
But in Expert it will just get you killed since you take 66% more damage and deal 33% less.
And while no numbers are known I am fairly certain that higher difficulties also shift the infliction rates against you. I have a way harder time inflicting stuff on Expert but get tagged myself way more often.

So I can see disabling just one of Scylla's tools be enough to kill her in Standard but in Expert that won't work unless you are seriously overleveled.
The tentacles hurt like hell for one. Even without Cry Soul you could not simply ignore them.

>>169983887
you can absolutely ignore her tentacles once she gets low enough because she'll start spawning them every turn after some point
not at the start though of course

>>169986265
Do they hit that much harder on expert? With 22 guarded and 50 something unguarded per tentacle i decided to ignore them entirely since i can outheal this with artery+ sovereign order and killing them is really unproductive later when 2 tentacles at a time pop out

>>169951414
7th Dragon 2020 VFD was a mistake. I don't know how, but they made the game even easier than previous 2020s. And fuck them for renaming classes. I want my Hackers and Psychics back.

>>169986523
It's the other way around.
Scylla follows a strict pattern. How many tentacles she summons is based on the turn counter.

If you are at the points when she starts summoning two of them every turn and you don't have her low enough to ignore those and kill her you will have a bad time.

So unless you have somehow enough damage to blow her up before that point you will be forced to ignore the tentacles and pray you will be able to kill her before you get overwhelmed.

>>169986731
The entire series post the very first game is a mistake. And being piss easy is not even VFD's biggest problem

>>169986774
iirc the way I did the fight was that I killed all the tentacles a few times, damaged her whenever I could and once she went low enough she started going berserk with the tentacle spawning so i focused all my efforts on damaging her and managed to overwhelm her before she overwhelmed me with her tentacles

my party was pretty burst heavy though

>>169986882
2020 was good. 2020-II was only good for the small tweaks and Idol class but they lowered the game's difficulty even more.

>The entire series post the very first game is a mistake
I like 2020's aesthetics but can't really argue with you there in terms of gameplay.

>>169986882
7th Dragon could have been a nice sister franchise to EO.
Similar combat mechanics but a more generic fantasy setting.
EO fanboys would have bought it just to get their combat fix and 7th Dragon could have attracted a wider audiance some of which then in turn would have tried out EO.

But instead they completely gutted the combat and went down the otaku road.

Such a shame because even with all its flaws the first game in the series is enjoyable.

>>169987393
Blame Sega "literally can't do anything right"

>>169987504

>>169988220
I liked Sands of Destruction

>>169988331
One thing is to like, another is admit that the game is good and you would recommend it to other RPG players. I like some aspects of SoD but I'd argue there are a lot better alternatives on the DS.

>>169988454
>you would recommend it to other RPG players
I would though, why not?
>lot better alternatives on the DS.
Well of course there are, no reason to skip it anyway, especially with how all the later systems lack in PRG department hard

Do same type equip bonuses stack? Like if i take a Dino Cuirass with cut/bash/stab resist and add physical guard with the same resists would they stack or it's just waste of space?

>>169989775
It should stack freely.
In fact a popular strategy in EO3 was to just stack resistance accessiores in order to take next to no damage from certain bosses.

But they nerfed that by reducing the number of accessoires you can eqiup at a time to 1.

>>169966267
She can because she's awesome, cute, perfect, strong, cute and cute.

>>169978839
Well fuck.

The strategic niche of Dark Hunters and Nightseekers is one of my favorite things about this series. Looks like it'll be another situation like EO3 but for the opposite reason.

>>169994237
You mean getting stronger when binds/ailments are present?
Well, it's still kind of there.

First off, the new version of the whip Dark Hunter (who is actually a boxer flavorwise) has one skill that - in Dark Hunter terms - after the initial hit has a chance to use Gag if the enemy's head is not bound, Cuffs if the enemy's arms are not bound and Shackles if the enemy's legs are not bound.
But all hits after the first one are chance based so it is not some sort of anti-Ecstasy.

One of the second names of the new whip Dark Hunter also has a skill that paralyzes the enemy. Kind of like a paralysis Viper to stay with the whip Dark Hunter terms.
The same second name also has a skill that after the initial hit will always follow up with Gag if the enemy's head is bound, Cuffs if the enemy's arms are bound, Shackles if the enemy's legs are bound and paralysis Viper if the enemy has any ailment. In this skill all the follow-up hits also get increased damage.
So this is your new form of Ecstasy.

The same second name also has a skill that deals as many hits against random enemies as you dealt last turn.
So if you managed get five hits out of the new Ecstasy this skill will hit five times.
But it hits always with the same damage as the initial hit and it also has a accuracy penalty. And it can not be used two turns in a row.
But at level 10 it costs 7 TP as opposed to the new Ecstasy's 30. And you can use it even if the binds and ailments fell off.

And for Perseverance the same second name has a passive that gives you a chance (up to 50%) of using Gag, Cuffs, Shackles or paralysis Viper again if they are used on their own and fail to inflict their bind/ailment.

Other than that one of the classes that can inflict ailments while dealing damage also has a skill that deals way more damage against sleeping targets (and has a good chance to instantly kill them).
It's no Nightseeker class passive but at least you can make sleep-bombing a serious business.

Etrian Odyssey by rankings

Hardest tier
EO1 without using Immunize (it gives you a flat -80% damage buff when it is suppose to only give you an elemental damage buff not all damage therefore it makes the game 80% easier)

Top tier:
Expert Claret hollows
Expert forbidden jungle

Hard tier:
EO1
EO2
Expert 1
Expert 2

It's still harder than most games but is piss easy in comparison to the rest of the series:
EO3

Fuck it lets just hold their hand tier:
EO4
EO5

>>170022735
All signs point to no.

I haven't tried that specific combo but I know that Blade Flurry does nothing for attacks initiated by Trick Samba's effect and Sword Dance likewise does nothing for Chase Samba attacks. I think it'd be unlikely for Beat Dance to play by totally different rules.

>>170023946
EO3 without using Dark Ether should be on the list.

>>170024678
EO3 without dark ether is still easy

Dark ether puts it on hand your hand easy

The first 7th Dragon (for DS, never saw a western release only a fan-translation) has its flaws but with the US patch that cuts encounter rate in half and reduces damage of damage tiles by 60% it's quite enjoyable.

I heard 7th Dragon 2020 was still tolerable although its battle system was already pretty shallow.

Unfortunately I tried Code:VFD.
It's not good.
Battles are all damage races without many mechanics, strategies are bland and limited, difficutly is piss easy until it's suddenly hard for no reason and story and dialogue are all over the place and pretty cringe-worthy at times.

>>170028258
>US patch
Why would you want it? The game is already piss easy

>>170028403
The original 7th Dragon?
At the start it's even more brutal than any EO game. Enemies hit hard, you have next to no money and there is no fast way back to town.
And while it gets way easier starting mid-game at this point you want to cut the encounter rate in half to preserve your sanity.

Since random battles are so easy to clear getting less XP makes the game slightly harder if anything.
And not getting into a battle every two steps means you don't need to take a samurai along to get anywhere in time.

That's wrong though? That fucking boot event in EO1 is more dangerous than entire 7th dragon early game and overall it's easier as well, only troublesome places are that dark dragon you must kill in time limit and the sky piece of shit shuffling your rows continuously
>don't need to take a samurai
Why won't i take a samurai? They are good damage dealers (even early in the game, i don't remember samurai jobbing ever) and both female samurai models are muh dick tier.
