So are Battle in the Clock Tower and The Infinite, but I still associate the former with a boring loving 40 turn long fight and the latter with panicking the Clockwork God on the 2nd turn and then just Myriad Arrowsing him to death.

The crossovers in general amplify personality traits, which kind of works for the P3 cast for the most part since it gives them something to work with compared to their bland original versions, while it doesn't really do well with the P4 cast because they have exaggerated character traits and fandom in-jokes now turned up to 11. Also, there's no other part to Rei's personality besides making references to food and how she loves to eat, she's that terrible a character. She's easily the worst of the spinoff additions.

They turned one of the Persona characters into Ilyana from Fire Emblem? Yikes, no wonder people are down on that game.

Persona 3 is the game that I don't remember that well so I thought Fuuka was named Rei and forgot that Rei was, in reality, one of the one-off characters. That's a lot less terrible.

Mind you, she and Rise still tell you enemy weaknesses and resistances practically every turn, when not to attack an enemy that's about to counterattack, when an FOE that you're looking at is close, etc.

Don't forget boss battles too! Especially the loving Merciful Clergyman fight.

I think the only in-battle dialogue/banter I liked in PQ was during the Captor Spider fight; I was fighting it for the first time, and it regrew one of its legs. Shinjiro then shouted "Are you making GBS threads ME?!" with probably the most emotion in any line I've heard from him, in both P3 and PQ. He mirrored my thoughts pretty exactly :v:

Hey man, I like Fuuka. Though, I don't feel that navigators were necessary in an EO game. I feel that it's unnecessary. Especially with the characters getting surprised at shortcuts they've already discovered...

The Merciful Clergyman's dialogue can be summed up as such.

"vows and poo poo"
"gee i wonder what happens if you break a vow"

Repeat every round, unless you break it by accident. Also, wowza, I may need to consider having Shinji in my party.

I wonder how much of my EO3 time on my 3DS is distributed between King Penguin/the later exploit grinding, and how much of my EO4 time is killing golden sheep (and later golden alligators + golden mantises). :v:

Would writing an AutoHotkey script or something along the likes of that be feasible, or does Desmume react badly to that?

She's the last Myrmidon we get though! Do we have any options besides cheating in the 90/0/90/40/10/90/5 robot that can't support with anyone?

Looking at the sketches of Olympia actually made me realize...did no-one really notice the metallic bits of her chassis or her goddamn robot spine when she was masquerading as an explorer? They're pretty clearly visible through her cloak.

also I'm glad Himukai opted out of the empty eyes for Olympia because good lord those are creepy

You might notice it for the one whole second you see her entire portrait, and then it gets mostly covered up by the text box.

Also I only played the beginning parts of 7 and Awakening, so I'm afraid any Fire Emblem references in that submission may have flown over my... Oh son of a gaarrggh! :suicide: Well looks like this playthrough has turned into an Etrian Odyssey Nuzlocke. :v: (Yes, people actually do those.)

Dunno when I can get the next update up, since a power outage has destroyed my internet for a few days. I'll see what I can do in the meantime.
