Mods cleaned up a bit but left the ahegaos.
Mobs being gentlemen of taste confirmed.

It's amazing how EO explains nothing about its mechanics but still has a boring ass unskippable tutorial that focusses completely on drawing your map.

Also, what the fuck is a Rover supposed ot be?

>>183894113
One month ago they announced the localisation and since then there was a total silence.
Now there is finally something happening again.

Also all translations I know speak of Cestus, Necromancer, Hound and Herbalist instead of Pugilist, Harbinger, Rover and Botanist.

>>183894831
The character named "Harbinger" is in the backline so I would say it's a Necromancer.

>>183894978
Even worse.
Meanwhile, masurao is kept as is.

What's with these random changes? What's the last time they changed so many, EO1?
I don't think I can get used to the new names after so long.

I wasted an hour and properly tagged the EOV artbook in the imgur link about a month ago
I think there's one page missing

That sounded kind of like Robbie Daymond, but it's hard to go off when the audio quality isn't great and when it's such a short snippet. The only known actor is Erica Mendez, who's voicing space girl.

>>183898242
Nice work, anon.

>>183898043
Right now it's four names and I haven't seen a Reaper (assuming it is not the backline Harbinger). So it could even be half the names changed...

Thankfully second names are variable or they would fuck them up, too...

Did they ever announce a EOV super arrange?

>>183898981
>Thankfully second names are variable or they would fuck them up, too...
I don't see how those are mutually exclusive. They can still mess up the default names, which is what the fanbase is going to use to refer to the specialties.

>>183899092
Afaik no.

>>183899332
Currently they are barely established so it's not all that important what they are doing there.
The skill calculator even just refers to them as "A" and "B".

I and II got figures, III got figures and IV got figures.
Does V have confirmed merchandise I can spend my money on?

>>183899603

Necrololi already got one.

>>183899736
Amazing.

So I've only really played EOIV, but I'm getting hyped for EOV a lot.

How does EOV hold up to IV?

>>183900778
V is better.

>>183899736
I'm pretty sure that's a garage kit.

>>183900862
Nice. What are the strong classes tbis time around? What are the worst classes.

Can you beat the game without a dedicated healer?

>>183901624
Masurao and Necromancer can be used to trivialize the game but Masurao needs a dedicated party to do so.

Fencer and Reaper are not easy to use but they are not actually bad.

Well, there are four classes that have some heal and one of the races has a passive that increases healing of items.
Some of that you will need but you won't need a healer that does nothing but heal.

>>183917661

I think the word is more appropriate for Reapers than Necromancers.

How exactly does the Bunker work?

>>183925801
Summons now have their own lane. It is used for Dragoon Bunkers and Pillboxes, Necromancer ghosts and the Rover's dog and/or hawk.

A Bunker gets summoned and then has a huge amount of aggro - I believe more than Provoke usually generates, more along the lines of Fortress Taunt which redirects a lot of attacks.
Bunkers have low HP but massive DEF and crazy resistances - they basically take one damage from nearly everything.
So you set them up and they just soak some hits. Single target, multi-hit and even line targeted (since it now attacks the summon line instead of one of your party lines). Only full party attacks don't care about the Bunker since those hit all three lines.
Pillboxes are like Bunker with lower DEF and aggro but they will counterattack anyone attacking them.

>>183926449
Thanks
>Summons now have their own lane.
How many summons allowed in the lane now?

>>183929963
Three spaces just like any other lane.
Necros like having many ghosts but they can still work with a Rover (since they focus on one of their pets) or a Dragoon.
Trying to use all three summoners will probably get a bit too crowded though.

Also damagewise the summon lane is treated like the frontline - so only the backline gets reduced melee damage, everyone else takes 100%.

>>183930290
>they can still work with a Rover (since they focus on one of their pets)
They should focus on exploring Mars

>>183930290
I'm definitely hopping on the new etrian Odyssey when it comes out then. I still agree with the original design decision to limit the party from 6 to 5 and to create a create shortage of sorts when it comes to party configurations and I liked etrian Odyssey 3 introducing different types of summons.

My gut reaction would be to feel like giving an entire Row for summons would be giving the player too many spots, as I thought having a single extra spot or sacrificing a permanent party spot for a temporary summon was a nice trade off. But if you have classes that are kind of like the yggdroid that want to pump out multiple summons that just makes those three spots all the smaller.

I am definitely intrigued now.

Can the drawfriend from last time draw a Cestus with a Pug, please? Since that's what the new name (Pugilist) makes me think of.

>>183931068
Summons aren't full characters, for starters (unless they're bunshin).
And yes, they're pretty much like the Yggdroid situation, specially for necromancer who REALLY wants to fill all three. Take in account that Eo5 has no subclassing to save your bacon in case slot limits impair your character.

>>183931068
Rovers can use their dog and hawk at the same time although summoning them costs quite a bit of TP.
The hawk attacks and the dog heals unless they get ordered to do something else.

Dragoons can built an entire wall of defensive structures which is pretty funny with pillboxes that all counter attack.

Necromancers is the class that actually always wants multiple ghosts since they sacrifice them for many of their skills.
So in a sense they are their ammunition and the class that has to reload after every strong action is the Harbinger (probably - they might still be named Reaper while Necro got renamed Harbinger...) with their Miasma Weapon which is like a less restrictive Stance mechanic that also gets consumed rather often.

I can't get the DLC for EOV in the pastebin to work, did I do something wrong ?

What do you mean by made-up?

The artbook has names in English for all of the NPCs, but who knows what will happen in localization.

>>183935529
Not any crazier than changing the already perfect reaper.

>>183937601
We could have avoided all this if they just changed Hound to something not starting with R. Herb could have remained the same too.

>>183939389
I don't think that silly rover was to blame, they probably had every intention to use that heavenbringer thing no matter what.
Herbalist does sound like a colateral victim though.

>>183939853
God knows why, Reaper directly relates to grim reaper, while Harbinger is really more like an omen.

The point is that Summons in EOIII had their own economy and it also forced me to look at party composition for more than just who overlapped with that spot. I actually ran a 4 man team for a bit because I wanted to be able to use both Ninja and Wildling summons without having to take turns with the 6th spot. I liked that funny enough.

An entire row of dedicated summon slots doesn't ruin anything since there are still classes clashing over the limited spaces, and I just want to feel how that will play out for myself before saying anything more because I might like it more than what EOIII offered.

It sounds like I made a good choice skipping IV than because all of this sounds amazing for new classes.

This is a berry berry good time.

On a related note, is there any reason to grind a character Lvl 99 and then retire them for super powered recruits? It seems like there's nothing in the entire game that actually needs you to be at the maximum power level, even just grinding to 99 the first time without retiring seems like it's good enough for the final boss.

if I slap five people with level 10 combat experience or w/e that thing is called in EOIII where people gain experience despite not being on your team so long as the battle is in the labyrinth, around what level will they be by the time subclassing is available assuming one does not take twenty years to slap narmer and duff mcwhalen?

17 to 20 iirc.
They gain 10% experience with Combat Study 10 - but a party member only gets 20% experience since it's devided by 5 people.
So they get half the XP of an active party member and later levels need more XP than earlier ones so they should not be too far behind.

>>183960116
If you can defeat the final boss without retiring at 99 there is no need to retire.
Some parties might want to do it for more power and skill points though.

I'm having a hard time enjoying EOIV and I think it's because of my party setup.

I have a landshark, sniper, runemaster, arcanist, and fortress. I invested my stats on sniper wholly into binds which never fucking proc even though they're all like one point from being maxed out. I have the landshark focused on links, which I thought would synergize well with Squall Volley on the sniper, but I didn't know the amount of link procs you can get from one attack has its own separate limit. On top of the damage being a little disappointing, it's such a pain in the ass to set up, I barely ever even get to use it. The Arcanist is pretty alright, but I'm having issues with how much damage I'm taking. I don't know if I'm going through the game underleveled or something but everything hits like a truck and my fortress feels fucking useless, which is super fucking weird because I set up my fortress the way I did because I was told between all the evasion procs it'd be able to take a ridiculous amount of abuse, but that just hasn't been the case. Like two fucking line guards and they're flat out dead. I have the RNG skills I'm supposed to max out, but I guess I'm not just getting procs?

I don't know, it's really annoying having to rely so much on RNG for binds to prevent bosses from one shotting me, and then RNG that my hoplite doesn't get fucked, and RNG that the foot bind goes off so squall volley hits, and RNG that when it does work it works within my landsharks link buff window.

File: linkspam.png (197KB, 313x397px) Image search: [Google]

197KB, 313x397px

>>183977114
It gets even worse, too, because since my landshark has to be front row for their "fuck you" combo to work they're constantly getting killed, and it can't even be mitigated with defensive buffs because you can only have 3 buffs on a character at a time in this game pretty much making her a liability at this point.

I hear everywhere this game is easier than eo3, which I did fine in, so what gives? I feel like I just took good advice from my friends who have beaten this game already and just combined it all in the worst way possible or something idk. Really all I want to do is have a decently strong party that's also consistently strong. Praying I bind a bosses arms so I don't get triple fucked isn't fun, man. What do?

How do I beat EO2U Great Dragon with an ailment/bind-focused party?
It's too fat to be nuked by Ecstasy, so I have to save Hexer and DH's Boost for when its HP gets low, so my only sources of damage for most of the fight are Venom Curse and Ailing Slash.
But Poison still takes a few attempts to stick, and doesn't last long enough to leave a good dent, and I have to save WM's Boost for when the core shows up, because I can't inflict anything on it.

>>183977114
Squall Volley produces enough hits that it will max out the four hits important for linking even without leg bind.

Archanist is not a good synergy for Linker, a Dancer (Sword Dance + Nightseeker Blade Flurry) is way better, producing 2 to 8 hits which are all guaranteed to activate a Link.

Not sure why setting up Links takes you that long - Improved Link is all you need since no one in your party can outspeed a Landy anyways as long as they don't slow themselves down with a useless shield.
With a Dancer all you would need is a bit of AGI investment (accessories or books) to reliably outspeed them. Vanguard is not needed - even Initiative will usually fire without it.

Fortress is a bit weak during the mid-game; they need Fan Dance and Guard Mastery to be hardy again.
Of course they also want Iron Wall and they really like the +HP +every stat accessory Kirjonen gives you for helping him.

>>183977264
I never needed any defensive buffs, especially not with a Linker party. If your Landy needs more beef stop using Vanguard (which makes you take more damage) and get Sword Breaker + Weapon Parry. Everyone besides your Fortress should dual wield anyways for the stat forges in the offhand weapon.


My advice: For a Linker party kick out Archanist and pick up Dancer. Regen Waltz and Attack Tango are the buffs you want on your frontline and Sword Dance + Blade Flurry helps Linking.
Give your Sniper Archanist sub for Ailment Boost (also works on binds) and Bracing Walk for free out of combat healing (since Dancer can only heal in combat).

Fortress subs Dancer for Fan Dance (don't take Speed Boost - their interaction is bugged. Only Fan Dance).
Landy subs Bushi for Blood Surge 1 (don't put more points into it or HP costs get too big) and Power Boost and Defiance.
Runemaster picks Imperial for passives.

>>183977632
Get an ailment to stick.
Use Dark Hunter Force Boost and unload.
Use War Magus Force Boost for the Core.
Feed both of them Axcelas with every available party member once their Force Boosts end.
Repeat until you beat the fucker.

It's not easy, it's not pretty but dragons are shit anyways.

>>183978579
Thanks a million my dude, I'm retiring/resting my squad as we speak. Dancer's are more effective in the front lines, right? Should I actually keep them up there? Also what makes a good sub class for them? I haven't looked into the class much at all honestly.

>>183980279
For a Linking party you want Nightseeker.
Sword Dance has a chance to let you attack 1-4 times for any normal attack and the Nightseeker's Blade Flurry lets you always attack twice.
Sword Dance proccs for both hits so you are looking at 2-8 attacks (although the off-hand attacks will be weaker). Since attacks count as their own action they will always cause a Link, so if you get lucky and roll the 8 attacks your Dancer alone will be able to reach the Improved Link activation limit.

Dancers only buff themselves but their buffs effect anyone on their line - and you want them in the front so Regen Waltz heals your Fortress and Attack Tango buffs your Linker.
For survivablitly give them Fan Dance. Don't give them any speed buffs - no AGI investment, no speed passives, nothing. Their base AGI is slightly higher than a Landy's and you don't want them to attack before the Link got set up.

So give all AGI books you find to your Landy and give them an offhand Rapier and no shield - they usually come with AGI forges anyways and you can forge more AGI into them.
If you still are slower (maybe because you dodn't get enough books) give them an AGI accessory - speed is of the essence.


My rotation looked like this:
Turn 1:
Fortress: Party Shield (or Rampart if I knew I didn't need to tank the first action)
Landy: Blood Surge
Dancer: Regen Waltz
Sniper: Leg Snipe (just to see if it works)
Runemaster: Hawkeye (Imperial skill)

Turn 2:
Fortress: Party Shield
Landy: Improved Link
Dancer: Attack Tango
Sniper: Eagle Eye
Runemaster: Ice or Volt Rune dependent on what the enemy is weaker against

Turn 3-5:
Fortress: Party Shield
Landy: Freezing or Electic Link
Dancer: attack
Sniper: Squall Volley
Runemaster: Glacier or Galvanic Rune

Since Runemaster has no multi-hit fire skill I usually ignore these skills completely in a Link party. Only against the Ice Dragon did I use Fire Rune and Blazing Link (and Galvanic Rune).

>>183980279
>>183981123
There is more optimisation that can be done to stack things even higher but almost anything will nearly or completely die to Links just in these five turns.

I chose this order since it will not cause any buffoverflow.
Your Dancer will have three buffs: Regen Waltz, Attack Tango and the Runemaster Rune.
The enemy will have three debuffs: Runemaster Rune, Hawkeye, Eagle Eye

Hawkeye will however fall off after the fourth turn since buffs/debuffs don't increase their duration in EOIV.

If you don't care for the leg bind you could have your Sniper use a Bravant (consumable) on your Linker to give them another damage buff since Blood Surge does not take a slot.

>>183977114
>Linking setup
Linking is fantastic for boss fights, but IIRC it takes about three turns to set up before you can use it. It sucks for regular fights.
>Binds
EO4 is the only EO I've played through, but I remember binds being incredibly unreliable. It's just sheer RNG, sometimes a one point bind gets it on the first try, sometimes and eight point bind gets nothing.
>Fortress feels useless
They're not tanky enough to absorb 100% of damage until endgame. When you're playing through the game, you need to set up with some heals or defensive buffs first. Consider just having your front line Guard on the first turn. Guarding is super underrated.

>>183981123
>>183981325
Yeah I think my mistake on my Landshark was relying on Vanguard and outfitting it with heavy gear. I'm still worried about the survivability of my fortress if they have to cover for my Land, but I think I can work that out just moving some skills around.

Really, thanks for the detailed rundown, I was honestly expecting just a "git gud" or something, so it's extremely appreciated.

>>183982147
>Guarding
I'll keep this in mind too!

>Binds
Yeah, 3 was my first and 4 is my second. Binds were pretty shit there, too, but you had such ridiculous and reliable defense options at all times you almost never had to rely on it. Actually the only time I remember using binds was against the postgame final boss, and that was only because I noticed I got shit RNG on the fight way less when I did it during a certain phase.

Is the master chicken also from the future? Than is must be a great place.

>>184028579
Well, if they never existed they could never have a child.

>>184028757
I meant it more as "it's not supposed to be there but since it's DLC it doesn't matter". Like the school boys/girls DLC in EO5.

>>184029075
So there is no master chicken in the future?
I don't want to go there then.

>Master Chicken won't become the Gilgamesh of EO

feels bad

We already have stupid faggot dragons

>Chaining amber increases the amount of TP gained
At 10 you start getting 3 tp per amber, and I think I even reached 5 once. It has been years since I started playing EMD, but I don't remember this being mentioned anywhere.

Also, while the game is wrought with questionable design decisions, Solo Mysterious Forest runs are really, really fun.

>>184031117
I believe they mention it at the beginning. But there is such a sleugh of tutorials I just might have imagined it.

Me on the far right.

I know.

>>184031117
I was aware of that fact, so I think it must have been mentioned somewhere.

But yeah, EMD had some frustrating design problems.

That's it, I'm using a reaper. Twintails tit chan is too cute to pass up, same with the masuraos and their cute ears. In fact let's throw in a male warlock to balance it out. Maybe a Dragoon or Herb for defence and we'll add Nene as well.

And there we have it, my dick chosen team.
