Um... c-can you please play Etrian Odyssey...?

thats even worse fml. Who owns ds these days.

The DS is still a great console IMO.

dunno never had one, supposedly it has somewhat better ergonomics than 3DS. Not that it matters, a 3DS plays games from both systems and is frankly the best vidya purchase ever for me. I'm nearing 600 hours in this series alone.

Both games are meant to be played in story mode. Classic mode is meant for a replay with fun times had

yeah they're 2 portraits from the game what about it? seems appropriate for a thread about the games

they are all busted and make the game a breeze, even on Expert (fun to use admittedly)
Highlander and Gunner in U1 are ridiculously good
they are equal to the other classes in 2, where in turn Fafnir is the broken one.

for the first run I recommend Classic mode to get the good old dungeoneering experience

Tried picking 5 back up after having dropped it in the 4th stratum. Still found it boring.

how difficult would it be to transfer my emulator saves of EO3 to my 3ds?

I see, personally it bothers me when dungeons are both randomly generated and you can't revisit them / explore upwards. I like it when floors have many stairs and branch out into long paths, intertwining on a different floor.

I've done it the opposite way before, from 3DS flashcard to desmume and it was easy, I imagine that converting DSV files to SAV instead isn't that hard.

>I like it when floors have many stairs and branch out into long paths, intertwining on a different floor.
What, like in 2, especially in the second stratum, where you have to go up and down floors to make progress on one floor? I loved that about 2.

Glad I never played 2U then. Still, it is more EO, and with redesigned floors things would be new and different. Though I could probably just replay 2 and it'd be just as fresh as 2U, since it's been 10 (!) years since I last played it.

oh by no means you should skip 2U, it's a strong contender for the best in the series. The dungeon design has a few stinkers, but the rest of the package is fine as hell. Pic related got me thrilled like a fucking post game boss.

The franchise wouldn't be the same with a single screen and we've had enough games.

Open world with robust map making mechanics

I never really had an issue with hypnosis-tossing, but gearing in EMD is far, far harder than gearing in other Mystery Dungeon games, when you take into account end game shit requiring MULTIPLE sub 10% drops, and losing it requires a shitton of work to get back. Had my 3ds die during the night mid-expedition, and lost a +99 gilded Yggdrasil Rod, which isn't as bad as potentially losing some dragon gear, but holy fuck I was pissed.

My fucking 3ds charger doesn't work unless I hold the cord as some arcane angle; think I might need a new one.

2021. I don't know why Atlus announces things so far in advance. It seems like it took 2 years from 5's announcement to get any information. And then there's that Re:Fantasy game, SMTV, and Next Stage too.

by weeding out the casuals like no other.
Original Scylla? Honestly she's among the other pushover bosses, dying to like 3 Midarebas. Hell my first time around I feared her and she wasn't able to do any damage or anything really.
2U Scylla on Expert is a goddamn nightmare, I was seriously scared of even approaching her door. She's much, much more durable and summons tentacles that ruin your party, so you need to have a good plan to survive her bullshit for about 15-25 turns. The only thing that keeps her from being broken is that her pattern is pretty strict so you can counter some of her attacks with Anti-Ice etc.

a game with a world / dungeons like Might and Magic 6 + EO's audiovisuals and combat would be my dream game.

How would you make a single screen map making system that's not tedious as fuck?

Just a guess. Most likely won't be any earlier than that.

Confession time:

I own all Etriams and poured dozens of hours into them but never finished a single one of them.
I love them all though, the playstyle, the character classes, the art, the music (I fucking LOVE the music m8). When I was in dire need for cash I sold every DS/3DS game I had, except the EO games. Currently I'm actually playing one, EOU1 . Trying out that story mode, it's actually fun so far, the extra dungeon is nice although I just got my ass whopped by a ginormous queen bee. Welp, thanks for reading my blog, gotta go back to it I want to finish at last

Please don't remind me. Fafnir's story will never find closure and is left in a cliffhanger after 2U.

That will just complicate further the map making process.

Seriously though, I think the map making element needs to be largely streamlined/automated.
Map should still be thematically important and you should be able (and need) to anote the map freely, but the focus should be put elsewhere.

Making the map myself is my favorite part. Any games where you just wander around making maps?

I tried a demo for it on 3DS. I didn't really like the turn based combat but I liked drawing the maps. I don't think I'd enjoy the full game though.

Was Nexus any good? I've been trying to find impressions on it but it doesn't seem like many played it?

God EO Nexus's OST is so unexciting.
I thought V's was generic but this takes the cake.
I could fall asleep to their battle and boss themes.

I tried to go with a stereotypical JRPG party, I didn't really look at the more unique classes, which I probably should've tried

ITT not just cumbrains, pedophile cumbrains. Fucking yikes.

It's decent, but not the best EO. You'll still have some fun if you like messing around with the multiple classes.

Just have a button bring up the map making screen. when you're making a map on the ds games you're just looking at the bottom screen, basically you just need one screen at a time really

the first 5 labyrinths are really cool at least, I haven't played further so I can't commend

I'd be fine just adding notes and having dark areas. I don't mind the wall scribbling and I think it makes you pay more attention to your environments when you do that, but I don't need it to enjoy EO.

Is the Nexus OST original remixes, or just borrowing from Untold? Never played them so I don't know. But the Waterfall Woods and Undersea Grotto tracks are amazing.

just link the porn

its wizardry for retards

It's kind of a shame that the vast majority of these goofy lewd games that come out are variants on JRPGs, or dungeon crawlers, or other sorts of this kind of game. The only ones that come to mind that aren't are Senran Kagura and Oneechanbara.

cumbrain

Borrows wholesale from IV, 1U, 2U, and V's OSTs. Rearrangements for 3's themes. Original tracks for the new Nexus stuff.

Cope

How was the most recent game?

AHHHHHHHH

HNNNNnnnnggggg

seems pretty solid to me. Has potential for chasers and all.
If you want a protip for early game, replace Medic with Troubadour and get Echoing Rondo a ridiculously efficient party heal buff. Whenever you heal, either by skills or by draining health from enemies with passive bonus, the party gets healed. On top of that you have other very useful buffs like Peace Ballad.
The downside is that you don't have revive/refresh/unbind unless you get the grimoires.

Hope it's not Switch exclusive. I don't want to play another fun EO on yet another shit system.

Too many forests

You can make the map as you're walking and fighting, it doesn't require you to fully stop and focus on that Plus you can look around to better gauge the area as you're drawing it.

That would be slowed down considerably without the second screen.

It's got a bunch of original tracks, check youtube.
They're kinda samey and tame

It was okay, the main problem is that most of it was recycled content. Having a huge number of classes is nice for party building though.

got to lab 5 in EOX but couldn't find a party composition i was happy with. think i ended up with WM/Highlander/Harbinger frontline and Zodiac/Ninja backline. had some fan patch that made zodiac not entirely worthless but even then it feels pretty tame compared to gunner. i just know i wanted to build it around my WM and not use sovereign or hero

I thought it was way too long for how uninteresting it got towards the end
Also it doesn’t help that the events that change your expectations are only in the first three stratums (only a quarter of the game), I expected there to be more

I liked EOV better. Despite obviously being unfinished and the low boss count it had way more high quality, unique boss fights. Crystal Dragon and Star Devourer are my favorite fights in the series.

i think EOV is probably the most solid one all around. best overall class balance and QoL features imo.

I just wish they gave a shit about world building, characters and all that. The journey to stratum 5 and its ancient evil boss was a whole bunch of nothing.
And not having a climactic battle against humanoid bosses is a crime.

normally i'd be on your page but EOX has a ton of either completely broken classes, or completely worthless ones. since this is just some anniversary game with a bunch of rehashed stuff i don't really feel bad about it. wouldn't do it in the other games but i already beat all those.

i don't actually agree with any of the nerfs they made but i wasn't using any of those classes anyways. some classes like WM are just trash in EOX and while i don't need to use only the strongest classes it's not fun to use classes that feel half baked

That's something that seriously bothered me about EOV, it's almost unexistent plot, especially coming after III with its branched paths and IV with an actually good story and true stakes at risk.

I thought it was a very schizophrenic composition with obnoxious instruments. Best was Inspecting the resounding weapons.

If they made a etrian style game with the aesthetics of Deagons Crown, that would be the best game of all time. Etrian games are so amazing, but sometimes I get tired of fighting bland pokemon style monsters all the time. Sometimes I want to fight skeletons or ghosts or goblins. That's why a DARK SPIRE remake that is less obtuse is my dream game.

I beat EOV with only Brounis, it was pretty terrible but it’s great to know that you can just use whatever and have fun with it. I think that’s the best strength of the game and why it’s my personal most replayable game in the series
Thinking of doing an all Rover run next

> 1 guy/4 girl party?

I just had constantly respawning wraiths take the hits so I could focus on damage. Not that my team was strong.

Obviously all males because half of Yea Forums is insecure about admiting they want a full girl team while adding units like trapshark and trapMedic

I was thinking of going dodge fencer/pug/harb/Shaman/Rover for my first time through V

Is this a good team?
Should I switch Harb for Masu or something else?

I hope if another game happens, that they go back to the more cynical and mature plots of the DS era. Things like the pact between the winged folk and Overlord, delivering him living beings for experiments

Not being able to see my characters while exploring/battling is a deal breaker

I absolutely hated what they did to forging in 5. No longer do you get a choice in what you put on your weapon. You just upgrade it to 5 and that's it. I also hated the lack of sea exploration/airship exploration. I loved these two aspects in 3 and 4. This was supposed to be the 5th mainline entry and it felt lazy as fuck in my opinion. The ocean and airship were good changes of paces in the previous games and made it feel much more like an adventure. I also loved the sea quests from 3. It made finding new places on the map more exciting because it meant a new boss to fight plus new unique gear.

My biggest issue with 5 is the lack of any secret unlockable classes. And to a lesser degree, lack of subclassing.

It's interesting, for the most part they've managed to keep the supernatural absent from the games, (with few exceptions, mind you), but then EOV goes balls to the wall necromancy with mummies, ghosts, skeletons, zombies, vampires and a lich. Up until that point, a lot of the fantasy elements could be properly explained, like the monsters you're fighting are just mutated wildlife, animated armor is just automatons, and spells were from technologically advanced pieces of equipment, like the Alchemist's gauntlet, or Zodiac's mechanical wing.

EO1 anomalies: Hexers curses, and maybe Protector heals. Does the protector just have medicine on 'em like the medic? Hexers just use bells that make creatures cough up blood and die on the spot, without any technology.
EO2 anomalies: Ghost in the Drake questline. Kotodama being in the hexer-exclusive secret passage events.
EO3 anomalies: Ghost in the Abyssal Shrine. Aliens, maybe? I can't really explain why I consider them less supernatural, and more "realistic" than ghosts, but I do.

EO4 is where things start to get weird: Runemaster has a weird technological wand, so that MIGHT be the source of their seemingly magical runes? But then you have arcanists which are just geomancers, and a lot of bizarre events in the Hall of Darkness that are difficult to account for.
EO5: Necromancer class, and the entirety of Fetid Necropolis

EOU1 didn't really add anything new supernatural-wise
EOU2 has a ghost as part of the story
EOX has some recycled floating skull assets. I consider the Abyssal Princess more super science and genetic engineering than a proper undead.

I think that's about everything?

>and a lot of bizarre events in the Hall of Darkness that are difficult to account for
Almost everything that happens in the Hall of Darkness was caused by experiments gone horribly wrong, with the only two supernatural instances being the table with food and the doll family.

UH, SORRY, SWEETY. YOU SEE, VISIL'S MOTIVE WASN'T BECAUSE HE WANTED TO PROTECT THE ECONOMY OF THE TOWN, BUT RATHER, BECAUSE HE WAS DRIVEN cRaZy AND EVIL BY PRIMEVIL LOL

also those forest folk you genocided? yeah well they didn't attack you because they were dicks, and you didn't kill them because you were dicks, but rather, they were also under the influence of the Labyrinth Core, so it was a mercy killing :^)

here, look, we even made his eyes glow red so you know he's super evil, and doesn't have any real motivation

3 >= 2U >> 1U > 4 >> 5 > 1 >> 2
Nexus is feeling like it'll be somewhere between 2U and 4 so far, that could obviously change though. 5 is honestly only as high up as it is due to the modern gameplay enhancements, if you take those out of consideration then I think it's a strong contender for worst mainline EO.

Yeah, I was thinking the doll family, and maybe the hammer, but I guess those could be explained by the hollows. Food table is probably also hollows setting out food for their former masters, out of habit.

It still fucking bothers me seeing what they did to Visil in 1U. Game definitely would have been better off if it didn't change plot elements from the original game.

who killed the dolls in Hall of Darkness??

reminder that paint belongs under doors

Reminder that you belong in a shallow grave.

This was so fucking stupid and completely unnecessary. But I'll be honest, I'm kind of ok with them giving me a reason to actually kill Forest Folk, in the original it never stopped bothering me having to genocide them without a single reason other than not being able to progress unless I accepted the mission to get the tablet back. At least 1U gave us Kupala in the mansion fuck she's so goddamn cute.

I like that the games let me create my own party, but the depth of the world is what makes it a more immersive experience. The story in V just... disappears halfway through. The labyrinth existed since before people were around. It should be the biggest deal ever, but everyone takes your word for it and goes home. The ending feels disconnected from the rest of the game, like nobody knows or cares about what you actually did.

Attached: 1541641980182.png (400x400, 85K)

honestly V is balanced enough that any team comp can work imo. my team was exactly that except with a 4kat instead of the harb. important note though, my rover was a therian. this gave him a ton of mp but also chain blast which pretty much binds every part of every enemy on screen. overall becomes very very strong around the 4th stratum but struggles in random encounters in the 3rd. I didn't change out to a rover til later on though so having the dog to protect my 4kat in random encounters would have made things easier.

Behold my DEEMINS

EOV a lot could be explained due to being on an entirely different planet

I played 4 a while back, got to the second of third area before getting distracted by other stuff. I'll probably give it another try once I've finished the next few games in my backlog.

for me going to space and then transcending adventurer status to become legends and travel to the real EO world was cool enough to make up for the eternal tyrant being lame as fuck.

You can emulate every Etrian game, you’ll never lose them again and you can just play them forever.

Himukai is a drug

I liked eternal tyrant, he looked really intimidating unlike the usual normal final boss, and also the fight took like twice longer than usual, only issue for me was the music taking like 3 minutes to get going.

more like generals are just shit to begin with

What ones are worth playing?

all mainline ones
untold sucks

What other DRPGs are out there worth giving a shot? I'm kind of burnt out on EO.

3 and 2U are usually regarded as the high points for the series. 4 is the babby modo start for newfags in case the aforementioned are too difficult.
5 is shit. 1 and 2 are objectively obsoleted by their Untold variants in terms of gameplay, only reason to play them now is for the sake of completion or if you're REALLY interested in seeing the differences in 1 and 1U's plot and how 1U fucked it up.

>5 is shit
your mom is shit

>your mom is shit
Correct, but that doesn't invalidate what I said. 5 is a fucking mess in a lot of regards.

Say one besides that there's no real on going story,

Game balance is totally fucked. Whoever decided that it was fine for Necro to have an "I win" button up to the postgame with Zombie Power+Fair Trade clearly wasn't playing the fucking game.

That's a valid point, though. To me, it's really important.

they could have made a real cool story tying it into the space hints in 3 but noooo

really now, there's broken shit in a EO game?
The only way to actually have fun in it is to go out of your way to not use the broken combos, it's like this in every game.
I think it's okay to dislike that part of it, but EO stories are never anything really good, there's 1/100 of dialogue in it compared to any other rpg.

I started playing x months ago but got to the 3rd dungeon and got bored because it was taking too long to get my characters' builds online. I don't know if I want to go back and keep playing or not. I really don't like how they started making skills and classes gated by level or progression.

sometimes less is more when it comes to story

I agree, but the only really different part of is that you don't know what you're going to fight in the 5th stratum before actually getting there, It's still just a party of adventurers going down a harsh labyrinth while everyone sucks your cock for getting so far.

>really now, there's broken shit in a EO game?
I'm trying to remember when such a simple thing broke the game nearly as fucking hard and as early as that does. Immunize? EO is no stranger to broken shit by any means but it's usually not as available as Zombie Powder+Fair Trade is. More to the point though is that the Second Name system feels like shit, and I can see why they brought back subclassing for Nexus.

Just because it's minimal doesn't mean that it's not still the groundwork for a world to be invested in.

I actually enjoyed the second name more than subclass, Hell, the reason why is that it was more controlled than subclasses. It's easy for things to go crazy with subclass and you managing to make a broken combos without even noticing it, and finding yourself one or two-shotting bosses before you know it. I'd guess at that point it's just a matter of taste, but I wouldn't say either are objectively bad.

read the thread dude, it's already been said that people disliked how it cut down on exploration features and the skill system from the previous games.
I've had a few other grievances, I think the "your party successfully jumped over a puddle" events are too much and interrupt the flow of the game. The food mechanic is very poorly thought out, which is baffling after 2U. Stratums other than necropolis are dull thematically and rely too much on gimmicks like flying, teleporting, flipping switches etc
I laid out here what I consider good level design

It could easily get a sequel on PC, there's enough screen real estate and pointer controls. It's not like the top screen stuff has to take up that much space while dungeon crawling. You can have a setup where you have the screen split sideways with the map on one side.

4 is as about is difficult as any of them. I don't know what you're talking about. 3 and 4 are the highlights of the series for me at least.

EOV's story was a mess. I assume it was meant to have a world map, more areas, and a different sort of ending.

The Tyrant was probably supposed to be connected to the king who tried to storm Yggdrasil in ancient times.

>4 is as about is difficult as any of them.

The degree to which Yea Forums hates EOV always confuses me.

In terms of gameplay and dungeon design it was the best entry since EO3 by far.

Untolds were fucking garbage.

It is though. Or at least from 3 on since I haven't played the first two.

I forgot about cooking. I never used it. It made finding gathering spots not exciting because it just meant throwing stuff out since you couldn't sell food, or maybe I never figured out how to.

2 Untold was good. The dungeon design is bad compared to the original game but it's still not as bad as the issues 1 Untold and EO4 had.

EO3 really could have used an Untold version. Skip the Story mode and just add mini-dungeons discoverable via the Ship overworld. Make Yggdroids useful. Etc.

There a new game? If not then why would I play it? I don't enjoy replays.

Nexus is the newest one.

The next one won't release for at least a year or two.

I completely forgot about the whole war lore because the game suddenly shoved you into Lily's mission that came out of nowhere and by the time we got into the fourth stratum I believe it is never mentioned again. What a fraud.

Yeah I played that already.

What's the biggest issue with 1 Untold? It's the only one that doesn't click with me. I don't know why. I personally wish Gunner and Highlander could be chosen during classic playthroughs.

There are a few main issues.

>majority of new content locked behind insufferable Story Mode
>Grimoire shit is annoying, and they didn't figure out how to make it work well until 2U
>class rebalance makes the game less interesting/unique than the original

>medic spamming immunize and survivalist doing a shit load of damage
>interesting/unique

im interested in this since i can't choose if i wanna play EO1 or EOU1

i felt like U2's dungeons were shite compared to 3

It spoils the series biggest twist on the second floor of the main dungeon for starters.

The setup you are talking about is a fucking chore to actually pull off against any boss and is way overkill for random encounters, I don't see how it ruins the game when it requires you to spec one specific class for it and go hunting for the 9999 HP FOEs.

Even without the 9999 HP FOEs, Zombie Powder could also be used in combination with Fierce Shield to pretty much give your whole party free turns as long as your wraiths survived. Zombie Powder was overall very strong and easy to abuse even in random encounters because it had a very high success rate.

I really wanted to like it but I fell for a trap build and was too autistic to rest out of it

You might as well rest, that's one of the many huge flaws in V that it takes forever to build a unit because of the retarded skill requirements and how every single skill requires 10 SP to max. I had to rest my whole party and reorganize all my skills and second names so I could finally get something decent enough to progress.

I don't get it either, I enjoyed it way more than I enjoyed IV or X. Having so little story was actually a good thing for me, I'd rather concentrate on the actual game.

I already played all of them, when's the Switch entry?

Soon™

I liked it as well, though I am a bit biased since it was my first mainline one after being introduced to the series with 1U.

Hating is a strong word but it feels kinda generic.
The OST is a lot less intense than the previous titles, and aside from 2 bosses it feels like ground you've covered 5 times over already.

Plus it doesn't really try to do its own thing like III/IV with the overworld and subclass.
Feels like the ambitions and passion are scaled down.

There was a teaser for a new game in the future but who knows when the fuck that's ever coming out.

Must have missed it, was it at E3?

I loved it personally. The only issue I had with it are the story being half-assed and Impact Pugilists being hilariously overpowered. I know story in EO is always light but each game still felt well thought out and progressed in a natural way. Everything starting with the 4th Stratum just felt like an entirely different story that was sewn together to the first half. I don't mind too much since the 5th and 6th strata were great.

Nah, it was uploaded to Atlus JP's youtube channel. Basically just a confirmation that the series wasn't dead.
