Yay, so excited for this! I'm enjoying this game immensely, and I got into it and the other games in part because of the LPs done on here.

I do like this cast of characters quite a bit. I'm surprised but happy you actually made one for each class, just because that's a hell of a lot of people to juggle. And while I was disappointed the thread couldn't choose people, all was forgiven when I saw you're using a Beast Medic, which I'm also doing. I'm voting for Heath every time now.

Is Cason going to be a sword Hero and Ashley the shield Hero?

Neat way to handle it, and gets the cast to a nice 20. I hate that there’s not 20 classes, 19 is an ugly number.

Echoing sentiments about the Furyfawns. I also liked their bow, I remember using it for a good while.

And I'm intrigued by the story threads you’re starting. Just, what’s Abby’s deal? Is she a ghost or what?

Oh, okay. Neat premise!

Are you going to write profiles for everyone at some point? I’m having a bit of a hard time following all the characters as is.

Guards are always pathetic in Etrian Odyssey.

Just replace all the guards with explorers, then :v:

My favorite part of this update is that the Cutter the game zoomed in on was a rare breed. Exact same thing happened to me, what are the odds?

I was thinking of investing in Beheading, precisely because of Alice. Glad to know it’s not worth it for several reasons.

You know, why DO these games hide numbers like that from players, just making everything indicated by arrows? Do they enjoy tricking players who don’t know that it’s a good idea to look up the skill data?

You make it sound like she tore the labyrinth apart with her bare hands. :v:

Never forget the Beast's Roar skill in EO2, where the indication on its chance to inflict Fear was just Up Arrow/Up Arrow/Up Arrow/Up Arrow/Two Up Arrows. The scaling is actually 1%/2%/3%/4%/75%, I poo poo you not.

It's a pretty annoying part of the series, though the exact numbers aren't quite as important to know nowadays for the most part. My guess is trying to make players not worry too much about optimizing, and not wanting to to cause information overflow with too many numbers. Though for the latter, some sort of power rating would be nice instead of just telling us basically nothing.

Wait, I just realized you changed your name/avatar. I was thinking I hadn’t seen your posts recently.

I actually finished reading the EO2 LP recently, and that part about Beast Roar stood out to me too.

I get not wanting to overload people with numbers, but I think that people who are serious will just look up the info, while people who don’t are going to max out Beheading or another, even more laughable skill from the War Magus and wonder why they never activate, and eventually become frustrated with the game.

I never realized that damage tiles were automatic fights until now. I am very observant :downs:

Also, I like how the summary for the Galatea’s AI script is longer than the complete write up.
