Out of all of them I think the EO4 demo is probably the best litmus test for if you're going to like this kind of game. 4 is also old enough that it goes on sale every now and again for 15-20 dollars, and you'll be able to start where you left off from the demo if you tried it before.

Where does it hurt?
from what I hear 4's demo is a bit rough difficultywise

I've only really played a few hours of EO4, and it's really fun. How are the other games in the series, and especially the 3DS remakes of the older ones?

I don't like that characters can only have three status effects at once what the gently caress is up with that?

I'm a GENERAL, not some opera floozy!
Can they really only have 3? I know it can only show 3 but dang.

I know that persona Q is limited to 3 buffs and 3 debuffs (status ailments and binds are counted separately from those), but I don't remember the same thing being true of EO4.

But then again my EO4 party had way less buff/debuff abilities and they usually only lasted 3 turns or less anyway, so I don't know if I ever would have hit that limit in the first place. If I did, it wasn't noticeable.

you can only have three buffs and three debuffs plus any status effects/binds up at once. that's not a problem, only time i ran into it was with my dancer trying to dance with runes up and some oother stuff. ther eally stupid call is in eo2u where you get diminishing effects for every buffa/debuff past the first. sof ucking stupid

diminishing returns on buffs is lame, either make it an equal increase per buff up to a limit or make it a flat one boost

it's not just for stacking buffs, it's for everything. like if you use a str boost and then a def boost on the same guy the def boost will be less effective. i don't know what the gently caress they were thinking
