i just like to think of the exp one as cutting out grind time

the only thing causing you to overgrind is yourself

I didn't mean you specifically! i just meant like folks can still have challenge in the game, they just gotta know when to -stop- using it

my least favorite part of trying to do pure expert was slowly trying to eke out exp on the rares i could actually reliably kill to get to a decent level for bosses. it wasn't fun, it just took a longass time

And again, I guess I just underestimate Chasers. I dunno, after using them a little in EOU and getting really unlucky with the chase chances I just ditched them, although to be fair I didn't build a party around them. The thought of using Action Boosted Gunners or Fafnir or Palmchemists didn't occur to me, though. Time to rewrite that!

there's a couple videos from one person fighting [THINGS] with a party built around chaser burst and they get some pretty good mileage out of it

Alternatively you can hate yourself like me and subject yourself to 5 survivalist gathering runs until your fingers bleed

ah yes, "gathering" runs

My survivalist runs are for scraping together money, yours are for scraping together misery

We're both gathering, really

"No more games" was actually the secret message from atlus regarding the eo series

Because as Hobgoblin pointed out right above your post:


So why would you think that this one time was radically different from every other time you got close to a boss room? Any other time you'd be able to walk into the room, map it out a bit, look at the boss and moonwalk outta there and back to town if you wanted to.

There are no entries in the series where you have walk time in the boss room for every single boss in the game. If you've played any game in the series before, you'd know this. The only boss that lets you walk around and do stuff consistently in the series, usually for a gimmick, is the first stratum boss. It varies for bosses later on depending on the game but it's not like Basilisk is some rando bullshit outlier. It's a common thing for the series to engage the boss fight right upon entry.

Awesome, time to make Ragnar fight Flame Demon without any defe-

in any other EO game this could be workable, in eo2u it is literally "have antifire or die" outside of ridiculous cheese tactics that require lv20 skills

Since it seems like everyone who wanted to vote has, the final results are:


Yes. Yes this will do. This will do very nicely.

(I did a test recording with that party earlier. 5 turn victory. I wonder if I can get it lower? :getin:)

If you do some grimoire shuffling to maximize turn economy it's very possible

It's probably less translation errors and more a programming slipup for classification of enemy types. EO2 was rushed as hell on both fronts so I'm not surprised there's stuff like that

Edit: vvv so yeah, there just weren't any exceptions for special enemies if that's the case

the difficulty of atlus games is greatly overstated because telephone hyperbole but that boss is bad and is the logical extreme of eo2u's biggest problem
