Asteria - Zodiac 2 alt

An aspiring astrologist and scholar, Asteria always looked to the stars for guidance and inspiration.
She hails from a kingdom that has been known to have severely unstable weather and as a result, Asteria has dedicated a bit of her studies into learning about phenomena related to the sky and clouds, resulting in a preference for Volt based magic.
She's not an idealist, or a pessimist, she considers herself a realist and generally has an analytical or sophomoric response to questions and likes making weather based puns.

Tideborn and LPer's Choice.

While I like watching LPers handle insane challenges, these games are hard enough as they are.

Can't wait to see the party get mauled by frogs or butterflies or whatever enemies are in Waterfall Woods.

I admittedly didn't play EO3 for a long time since I'm waiting for EO3U.

Are you kidding, :atlus: makes me think of ailments as absolutely critical to not die, not completely useless.

Enemy ailment/ skills are almost a given, while player used ailment/bind skills are poo poo terrible, unless you have better then Lv 99 farmer luck.

If you're running a farmer for their debuffs or a Wildling, the luck boost would help them.

Also, there's a ton of fun references in the Sea Quests. For example, Kirikaze's quest is a reference to The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.
To be precise about that, her quest is related to the impossible trials Kaguya issued to her suitors.

Know that shape well, for we will be seeing it a lot. What you're seeing right now is a core mechanic of the Etrian Odyssey series, the FOE. It's short for Formido Oppugnatura Exsequens. I have no idea what that means, other than it's in Latin and translates to something about a terrible force of nature or something like that.




Formido Oppugnatura Exsequens means: "ancient and terrible nature warriors"
Also, can't forget https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLhARQmoo3Q

and Yeah, Greatbills, the lynx of the second level.

I can't wait for Narmer. The stratum boss theme is probably one of the best reasons I love this game.

I am touched everyone likes Asteria so much, even if it's just for her amazing elemental damage output.

Let's just admit Asteria is never leaving the party for bosses and move on people.

why do I feel like I've fallen into algebra or calculus whenever you talk mechanics about these games?

Hm, what I think happens with all these nameless guilds that get wiped out is that they either A) continue on in the labyrinth without needed supplies, or B) as seen in the small room full of deadly curse spewing fish, probably try and kill these FOEs and end up getting completely annihilated. (like what is believed to have happened to Hypatia's father's guild)

I mean that one quest that had us looking for a guild that was apparently exterminated, showed that they're one of the few sensible guilds that use campsites and threads. (but there's a good change they also got eaten by the Sea Wanderers, since we never hear of them again.)
