I Failed At Anime 2022

Lord Ephraim posted:

The day I care about Etrian Odyssey is when they finally get rid of first person view. The gameplay has looked solid from the start but I just can't get into a game where it's fighting textboxes....unless it's Earthbound. I can tolerate anime, random battles, bad voice acting, engrish localizations but no party animations and it's a no. I can't explain why.

Why are English localizations something to be tolerated? :confused:

e: Oh, it's an SAO jab, never mind.

It's okay, you can admit the games are too difficult for you.

Or maybe you're a weirdo that doesn't like drawing maps?

Etrian Mystery Dungeon might be worth a look, I guess.

So is Untold just a remake of the first and Untold 2 follows suit by being a remake of the 2nd? Also, what does Persona have to do with either of these games?

I'm excited for Etrian Mystery Dungeon because there's a really sad and severe lack of Shiren the Wanderer in the world and I'll take anything I can get.

Yes, since those games are pretty outdated.

So it's annoying that the remake uses some of those outdated mechanics to be ~faithful~

Persona Q combined the cast of P3 and 4 and used the map mechanics from the EO series.

They made a Persona spinoff in the Etrian Odyssey engine once. There's some recycled graphics between EO and SMT games other than that, but that's literally it.

Isn't Untold 2 the one EO game that had terrible DLC that didn't even allow you to finish mapping out floors or was that exaggerated? I just remember some complaints about the dlc when the JPN release came out.

Yes, there's two DLC that lock off parts of the map and I think that includes the Hot Springs DLC.

No, well, it's a dungeon crawler. It's emulating the really old games where you had to physically draw your maps on graph paper. Your guild is a blank slate and everything is grid based movement, so there's no real need for third person.

Try out the EO4 demo on the eShop to see if it's your kind thing. Just choose five guys and get exploring.

So kind of a weird question, but after hearing about people getting their systems transferred by Nintendo over the phone, I'm just wondering what happens to the games on your old system? I'd be kind of cool (and really just accomplishing something in a roundabout way that you can do easily on a PS4/Bone) to have all my stuff on a New3Ds but keep my digital copies of things like Smash and Mario Kart on the old one for when I have friends or family over.

I got my City Slicker. The leather that is atop it (the color you choose) is dope as all hell. I feel like the cow and I are closer, spiritually, after feeling the finish of this thing.

I just got mine yesterday. It is, bar-none, the most well made system case I have ever owned and this comes from someone who loves superfluous cases for his portable game systems.

It is pricy, but it's worth it.

There is a merchant that you have to go to several times in the game and he is always so excited to see you and show you what he's done when you've come back if you bring him a rare material. Since he's a merchant you usually will skip through his dialogue and he'll go "- i wasn't finished..."
There are other times when it happens in the game but mainly the game shits all over him and it's a better game for it.

This is also why Dark Souls is superior to most games. Dogs with weapons they hold in their mouths.
