Nope! That's basically EO4 only, if I remember right.

EO3 is the absolute worst in the series for exp outside of EO1 (which is a borderline case) and I would not blame anyone using extra methods to keep the whole guild up. It's easier in EO2 because bosses give metric boatloads of exp while the only HUGE exp source in EO3 is something way later and also something incredibly convoluted and annoying as hell.

That's not really something you can do in the lategame, though, which is where exp gain gets especially bad.

The thing is that random encounters usually aren't ever going to be strong enough to warrant designing your entire party around.

Swords just have less damage than Clubs as a whole.

They have an infinitely better skillset, though, so they end up doing more damage and contribute more anyways.

Well, there's only one staircase during the exam, and it starts you with 3 errors that you have to correct. It's a trick question to make sure you actually know how to properly draw maps

I wouldn't be surprised if Monks just take longer to encourage sinking points into Waking Chakra.

Either that or just the skill existing breaks it because that seems to be a thing EO does sometimes

There's some fights way down the line that have some status effects that take like 7-8 turns to wear off and I didn't bring Theriaca Bs.

I didn't live very long once my Monk got shut down. :negative:

The next set of sea quests is way tougher than the first one, and I'd argue that it might be on par with the third one.

Which obviously means that you should.

EO3 has two very distinct themes with quite a few bosses and characters throughout the game, so I have no idea where that name came from beyond "names from history that are associated with a catfish". It's probably just a long stretch to come up with a name that sounded unique, or a corruption of another.

I'm not sure if Yuuji did anything beyond the character portraits, even if the shadowing is consistent with monsters and such. I could be wrong though, he could be a better artist than my mind makes him out to be.

I honestly gotta give props to whoever does the background images for cities and such. Etria and High Lagaard are pretty good but Armoroad stands out as being particularly meticulous and large-scale.
