Haha, yes, this Etrian Odyssey. It's probably the best they've made yet. Story mode was really great, haven't exactly finished it all to go to Classic but I might soon. I'll probably try following along if I ever finish up Story Mode completely, haha... Name: Sophie Class: Hexer Portrait: 4 Rumor speaks of a cult that successfully summoned a dark god into this world, an evil being that hungers for everything. Too great a monster to control, the cult sealed it in the most appropriate vessel in hopes to control it. And, yet, even then, the vessel was barely controllable. Soon, the entirety of the cult was lost, and only the vessel remained: one hexer girl, that uses her dark god's power that hungers for more... and more... and more... Yeah, that's what she claims, anyways. She's just really hungry and tries to eat anything she can get her hands on. That includes the monsters in the labyrinth. All her curses are, literally, her running up and biting them. It somehow works, so there might be merit to her story... Who knows? Dr. Fetus posted:Oh and as for a party: Ronin, Dark Hunter, War Magus, Gunner, Hexer. I mean that worked out well in the original game, right? And I have to go with this.

I usually miss the character submissions when the EO LPs go live, so I'm super excited to see my choice went through... Even if it was the only hexer Dialogue's been fine and fun too, and I'm already eager for the next update. Probably because I haven't actually tried any of the nonstory mode classes! Eagerly await seeing just how different these classes are now, haha

I actually like the grimoire system this time around. I mean, anything's an improvement over Untold 1's, but the clarity of knowing what skills are in what stone is really what I enjoy about it. Granted, though, true subclassing would probably be a lot more fun, but the system here's fun enough for me. As for votes, Zack, Phoebe, and Rheine

Geez, I know you only covered the entirety of one floor, but it feels like you're really trying to go through the game at a fast clip. Might have been better to have just made it two separate updates instead of parts, haha. Guess if I ever grab any of the grinding DLC it'd be the exp one, though, didn't even know it gave EXP for the reserve members too. Probably because I haven't touched Classic that much, but that's good to know!

Tyler to take the first step on becoming a hero, Ursa to take up Wulfgar's claw, and Stardust for the Highlander synergy. ...Also because I started my Classic playthrough and the Alchemist is loving great.

I managed to finish the Chimera off on my first try of Classic mode, but that was something else entirely! Should've used my force breaks sooner, I guess, because I definitely didn't finish in single-digit turns...Granted, I'm pretty sure I went L/B, T/A/M, so it was a lot more balanced than... dunk-worthy. Looking forwards to seeing how the classes outside of Story mode work! As for votes, let's use the ones that haven't had a spotlight yet. Colette, Milly, and Enatre

I love the contrast of humor between Ranger and Knight, even if it's literally just the humor from the game Separate topic though, out of curiosity, if Fafnir could reclass what would his stat spread work well with?

On the subject of Grimoire Stones, if you get a Premium Chance is there any surefire way to get a passive ability? Like Shield Mastery if you wanted a Grimoire of it from the Premium?

With how many characters you have, that's a pretty good idea for voting, honestly. Three just isn't cutting it, especially when you need a balanced party. Let's go with Freyja, Phoebe, Sophie, and Stardust

Those Ambush Wolves were a serious pain when I played through Story Mode... Fuckers had a blue aura and still managed to wipe my party. Anyways, going onto Picnic mode to grind up everyone else is actually a pretty good idea, I was wondering how you managed to keep everyone up to speed when I couldn't. (I thought you were using the EXP tea and just resting them all to get a reasonable level...)

The helpers are easily one of the most annoying parts of every boss fight in this game. I think the FOE bats in the Chimera's room are the only inoffensive ones in the entire game.

...I forgot the Demi-Fafnir had adds. The Control Devices are pretty tame helpers too, all things considered, but probably because of the Story Mode Reasons, yeah. Honestly, the Frost King and Thunder Queen should've have a lot more story-related stuff to their DLC to go with the Demi-Fafnir, shed a bit of backstory to make up for not being Ginnungagap bosses. Probably would've been really easy, but... as-is, they just sort of exist.

All the thought I put into Sophie was thinking how to make the hexing process silly. In retrospect, I may have basically ended up with Chloe 2.0, so I'm actually incredibly glad that you fixed that. That, and her literally tasting everything is silly enough without being overbearing, so I'm happy. As for the narrative, it's always great to see everyone else's characters interact in the other Etrian Odyssey LPs, and this isn't an exception. I look forward to the updates here all the time

FriskyBoat posted:How the hell do you build Survivalists so they actually contribute to fights? Flavio always feels like such a load. Early game, he doesn't have enough TP to contribute to fights and late, he does less damage than Arianna. He's basically only good for putting blind on any enemy so Chloe can do fuckhueg damage to everything. I always built him to be a support rather than anything else. Tossed him some Hexer Grimoires and Curb Attack Up during the story so that he had more things to do, and usually had him set up for dodge tanking with Trick Step and using Hazy Arrow whenever he can. Didn't actually go for Chain Dance that often for him, but it and Scapegoat seems pretty decent from what I've seen of Ragnar's class showcase of them. And there's always the Swap Step option and throwing in the odd Sagittarius Shot or item when it's needed. And setting up for Chloe, like you said. Basically fast and dodgy support helps out, especially when Flavio can throw in status ailments.

Welp, I'm late for the end of the LP. Glad that I could have contributed at all, Ragnar, and I have to say it was definitely a blast following all of it, especially if you enjoyed it as much as I did Also didn't realize you were the guy that did the Star Force 1 LP. If you ever restart that, I'm definitely following that too. Or maybe the other Etrian LP that you might do, who knows?
