Democracy - Farmer, Hoplite, Arbalist

Cassandra - Hoplite, portrait 4.

Mature, sensible, and straightforward, Cassandra got into adventuring out of a desire to keep her friends from doing truly stupid things. Times have changed and people have moved on, but she still retains that protective streak, though some might call her overly conservative (or, behind her back, a coward). Though generally levelheaded, she is secretly extremely excited to explore new places and make discoveries, and works to build friendships and trust with her guildmates...which can lead to friction with people she thinks are "irresponsible" or who "lack commitment". Has somewhat unreasonable standards. Likes cats. Dislikes fish.

And while I'm at it, because it was stated as allowed in the previous thread, I'm going to once again make:

Faye (Monk, normal portrait 4)
A lady with a burning sense of justice that just doesn't stop, she's looking to bulldoze through the labyrinth on determination alone.
She'd try to walk through a brick wall if you told her she didn't have the willpower to do so.
Please let Faye have some screentime, Dr. Fetus! She was supposed to right before I dropped mine :smith:

For a game that has so little focus on characters and so much on dungeon crawling, EO3 still manages to have some amazingly memorable characters in Edie and Missy. They're both great.

Maces have pretty much always had higher attack values than Swords in EO (though now that I think about it, that's only two games :v:) but have slower speed modifiers.

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.

I was like "oh this was in EO4? I wonder what it is" and then the melody kicked in and I started headbanging. I loved that song in that game and it's still great here. :allears:
Amazingly, I'd still say the song doesn't make the top 3 for the game. EO3 (and Etrian Odyssey as a whole) has really good music.

The free heal is basically peanuts, though, as the game still uses the 5*(highest level party member's level) for the inn, which swiftly becomes unnoticeable.

Poison forges are awful. I only found this out recently (and edited into the last update), but the formula for the poison damage is (Weapon Power / 2) + a random # from 1 to 10 (Also applies to Plague forges.) The strongest weapon in the game has an attack power of 225, so you're looking at 113 to 122 damage ticks. Not that Poison is a great ailment in this game, because the most Poison can tick for is 350 through Call Insect, which falls off very fast. For reference, Narmer has 3281 HP and a Poison resistance of 20%. Yeah.
This sounds horribly familiar somehow :shepicide:

Conditionals got dropped from 30k to 10k in later games, and the first one or two were made trickier to get. Of course, they did add Formaldehyde to make up for that...

Okay, to clear things up, the votes weren't what caused me to put the LP on hold. I don't actually care if Alice gets into the party or not, I know these games inside out. I can beat them with a terrible party, and this is one of the easier EO games. Playing through the game is the easy part. Most of the updates I post showcase 20 to 30 minutes of gameplay. Writing the updates is the hard part, and for a while it was more painful than fun. Also I got through kind of a rough patch in my life so yeah.
Well, in that case...
