I'm too late to make a character. :negative:

I'll just have to try again with the ??? classes.

Democracy
Ninja, Monk, Zodiac
Scallywag Guild

Edit: Oh, I guess I'm not too late.

Name: Wysteria
Class: Zodiac (Default Art #2)
Bio: A stargazer who inexplicably gained the power to perform magic by wishing on a shooting star. Prone to waxing pretentiously about philosophy and the vastness of the universe, even at the most ill-fitting of times.

Etrian Odyssey III: Game of the YEAAART Edition?

Also, is it bad your character description reminded me of the Highlander's backstory from EOU?

I kinda like the idea of Force Skills and I'm sad we don't get to see unique Limit Breaks for all of the new classes.

Bursts Skills from EO4 were a nice replacement, though. I hope something along those lines becomes a staple.

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.

You know it's an Atlus game when they throw a notorious Game Over causing enemy on the first floor.

One thing I can't stress enough is how good the first battle music in this game is.

I can't help but wonder why they named it the same thing as EO2's battle theme, though.

Is it just me, or does this guy look like Robin Williams?

Also, if we ever do another thread title vote, I'm placing mine on "Sail the seas on the Tug Life".

I thought that sea stuff was really fun looking. Seemed like a cool adventure and the game's about exploring anyway, right?

I like the food element, too. Makes it easier to imagine a voyage.

Welcome back, everyone. So you discovered Tortuga Island. They say that was once a gathering place for pirates.



Pretend I made a One Piece reference about that Pirate King treasure, too.

Also, The End of Raging Waves is great. I hope there's an EO3U just for a new version of that song (aside from the EO4 version).

Dr. Fetus posted:

So each NPC has a specific skillset they'll use, and they bring some of their own items. They won't use your items. Also, you may have noticed that Victoria has a completely impossible skillset. Yeah, sometimes the NPCs cheat, but they're on your side. Victoria will work on buffing her own role. Don't expect her to help your row out. But Royal Veil helps out the whole party, so try to keep her HP topped off.

I think you meant "her own row".

You also misspelled Bunshin as "Bushin" a few times in both updates.

Random battles are the new FOEs, apparently. Great Lynx and Largebills are the only random enemies I know about, though, so the rest will be new territory. I hope the third floor has some ridiculously overpowered enemy as well.

Also, I love how the Gladiator gets poisoned and just gets :black101: about it.



I don't know anything about this game, but this guy is totally going to be a boss like that duo from EO2.

I don't think I was stupid enough to fight a FOE right away my first playthrough of EO4.

The only game I've immediately fought an FOE in is Untold on Normal mode, which made me wonder what the big deal about FOEs was when I killed almost all of them effortlessly.

Then I met the Bane Lizard. :v:

alcharagia posted:

That said, from listening to it one time I can judge that EO3's FOE theme is hands-down series best for when you go into a battle against an insanely tough FOE and win, which is always radical as hell.

I presume this is the reason it's the DOE battle theme in Etrian Mystery Dungeon while the other three are just BGM (or Monster House ambush music in the case of EO4's).

Persona Q is alright in small doses, but man do those later game dungeons wear out their welcome fast. Not to mention the amount of :words:.

No/Low chance of an EO4 LP from Dr. Fetus does make me sad, though.

I like how some FOEs are exclusive to some of the locations. It really makes a lot of the Labyrinths feel unique from one another, even if some Stratums are aesthetically similar.

Is Alice talking in her sleep?

The boss theme of this game is really great, though I like the remix used in Etrian Mystery Dungeon more.


I'm guessing it's going to go for the usual first boss gimmick of summoning enemies?

Can't say I saw that coming.

Though her murder plan kind of falls short if you have an Ariadne Thread. I guess all of the people who were murdered forgot to bring them.
