Why is there no Untold 3?
The Untold Series have done irreparable damage to the series. The fun was always about using your imagination and giving your party members their own personalities. Guess you can't do that when half the population is no longer capable of inner monologue.
>>730732540Because the remains of its butchered corpse can be seen in Nexus. >>730732806Both untolds are better games mechanically than the originals. It's not even close. Spamming all slash/crush and multi shot all game got really boring towards the end of 1.
>>730732806>The fun was always about using your imagination and giving your party members their own personalities.Both untolds have a classic mode.
Fencer my beloved
>>730732806>inner monologuewe used to call that schizophrenia until you retards started claiming you can manipulate invisible apples with your mind lol
>>730733172Your mind too actually
>>730733168>chain fencer is the best of the chaser archetype in the entire series, very well polished>dodge fencer is some barely functional piece of shit that's like a meme tier poorly balanced relic from the first two games
>>730733759I'm not even meming but I've done this by literally telling people to close their eyes and think about apples. About half the time they freak out and get excited that they "saw apples out of nowhere" and think you're a magician.It's sad to think so many people go their entire lives not knowing how to fucking think or imagine.
>>730733759Watch three seasons of The Mentalist
>>730732806>irreparable damage>proceeds to name a feature that no longer exists in VIf you ask me, the actual irreparable damage is setting a standard too high for the food system and skill variety. They peaked with 2U, even if grimoires suck.
Everyone says classic mode is the way to go but I actually like story in my rpgs. I haven't played it yet though so idk. How is the story handled in classic mode?
>>730732540Let it go bro. They made every mainline Etrian in the same time weve been waiting since the next stage teaser.Etrian is super dead. Also look at the amount of mods for the super easily moddable remasters.OMEGA HYDRO DEAD
Where's the port for 3,4 & 5 Fatlus...
>>730732540I think Atlus felt the Untold games were to be experimental with how to approach the franchise going forward. Sucks that 3 didn't get an Untold, would've loved to see that game get more content in general or be fleshed out some more / get rebalanced. On a side note, these games have some atrocious microtransactions and they got rightfully shit on for that.
I'm starting with 4 for bunny cunny
>>7307348614 is a nice starting point, even if its fairly different from the rest of the games. They start really slow for my liking, but I do love the airship and music of that game in particular. I hope you enjoy anon!
>>730734861>Playing 4>for anything other than STICC supremacydoes not compute.
>>7307348615 is better for bunnies
>>730735248
How long does Nexus takes to beat? I was thinking of playing it seeing as I've played the mainline EO games already, but I tend to find that EO games can feel a bit overlong already, so Nexus being touted as this massive game was always something I was bit put off by.
I'm going to say itI do not make hotties only partiesI put like 1 hottie and 1 cutie on my teams and decide the rest on coolness factors
>>730735408>Human face
>>730735489Same. Though I go cool factor all the way, and only use cute portraits if no cool ones are available like with Runemaster.
>>730735489I make one cool "guildmaster" character who doesn't adventure, and then everyone else is maximum cute/sexy.
>>730735425Like 50% longer than the other games or more. The final boss of the main story is level 90 instead of level 60 and the final level cap is 130 instead of 99.
>>730735489I wanted to do less ladies but ended up with 3 ladies anyway. Dancer has to be a chick, what was I supposed to do.
>>730732540Because untold 2 was garbage without redeeming qualities?You know how Sega said that pc/switch $80 port failed to sell as much as they expected?Well, switch versions of said port utsold u2 lifetime sales
>>730735425It took me around 80 something hours I think back in the day, it's still worth a shot, just take your time slowly with it.>>730735489I love having at least one cute loli in the squad, and everyone else is based on coolness or aesthetics.
Any chance of another remaster this year or should I just dust off my 3DS?
>>730735425>I tend to find that EO games can feel a bit overlong alreadyYou might not like Nexus. Out of the 70 hours of the main game, you get like 15 hours of shrines.Rest is pretty fun, though. If it weren't for the shrines, I wouldn't mind the game being even longer.
>>730736130Slim to none, Atlus is too busy shitting itself to be more simplified/accessable despite having mainstream success already.
>>7307361304 remaster will be announced next month for all systems
post da milenum gerl
>>730736541
>>730736361>all systemsi'm now imagining a PC-98 port of Etrian.
>>730736148>15 hours of shrinesMore, actually. Shrines are 45% of the game if you go in a straight line.
>>730732806is this an AI auto response or something? The real answer is sales. Untold 1 sold over 100k units and Untold 2 sold around 60k units. They just changed focus. Persona Q2 allowed the team to write their own story and was the last of the 3DS games for Atlus. to be frank and maybe a susan, there has not been an original Etrian Game SINCE Nexus
>>730737134>Persona Q2And it fucking SUCKEDSeriously the whole game was a huge letdown after Q.
>>730736361All systems?!
>>730737210Gameplay was betterSkills changes were better and making Yu into tank with his passives made more senseOnly shit part was p5 cast and change of themes of the story for the worse
>>7307348614 is probably your best bet to start the series, aside from Untold.
>>730737537I would have played the ever living fuck out of EO on the GB way back in the day.
>>730732540Because story mode doesn't belong in this series. The games are good on classic but I don't ever want them trying this nonsense again. We need 6 and some hd ports of 4, V, and X would be cool too.
3 is just special4, 5 and Nexus are all better and I like them way more but they lack that certain somethingwhy has no one dumped enemy models for the 3DS games? The human/humanoid battles have 10/10 models ffsa Untold version of 3 would either be the best EO ever (those Nexus remixes are insane) or the most soulles thing imaginable
>>730739250>(those Nexus remixes are insane)They were shit, anon.
>>730732806Untolds are seemingly in a superposition where they're casualized garbage due to story mode while simultaneously having the hardest classic mode in the series.
>>730737823>Gameplay was betterIn some ways but worse in others. They gave offensive magic a tiny bit of help so it's only slightly less ass even after links and instant kills were nerfed because non link physical attacks still cleanly out damage it on top of being less resource intensive. While not being able to instant kill random encounters reliably stops you from cheesing exploration, the health pools of enemies were not tuned down to accommodate this. I sometimes preferred Qs instant kill cheese because enemies are so goddamn spongy in both Q games compared to SMT and EO. And combat is only half the game. The other half, exploration, was absolutely gutted. The layouts are far more simplistic in the second game and literally every single gimmick in every single dungeon is some variation of hitting a switch. This was apparently due to personafags complaining that Qs (already simplified) dungeons crawling was too hard. It started to become a slog because for the most part every single dungeons felt the same.
>>730734861That's a hag. Call me when there's actually cunny
>>730732540Because 3, unlike 1 and 2, is a good game
>>730739586I was surprised how much easier OG claret hollows was when I played the remaster. I clenched my asshole the first time I saw the crabs only to be pleasantly surprised that they didn't party wipe me upon killing an ally.
>>730732540Why are Etrian Odyssey girls so young and sexy?
>>730740237I'm okay with the so called health bloat because I'm an outlier that prefers slower boss battles, my main issue with the game was the loss of atmosphere and worse dungeons. Q really started to hit its stride once you get into the 3rd stratum, and as bloated as the 4th one is with gimmicks, it works in terms of trying to overload you and get you to make mistakes. That said, one thing I fucking hated about Q that I'm surprised Q2 didn't fix was the special chests. Having to walk over every single tile on every single floor completely defeats the purpose of making your own map.
>>730736541>>730736614le millenom girli wish i rendered that as a png, my hard drive with the original project file exploded
>>730734521it's exactly the same but the dialogue is 10x shorter cuz it's you thinking instead of 5 characters talking out loud
>>730740826I loved the 3rd dungeon so much but I wanted to strangle my party members when they ruined the atmosphere with their annoying as fuck quips. Let me enjoy the terrifying doll baby dropping from the ceiling behind me without screeching "SENPAI ITS AN FOEEEEEEEEE".>special chestsYeah that was a bafflingly awful design choice.
I still think EO3’s artstyle is inconsistent and looks kinda shitThe man was transitioning between blobbers and the more detailed and anatomical portraits of EO4 and onward and it just doesn’t look rightI also don’t care for tropical/nautical settings very much desu
EO6 any day now ... have faith...
>>730733168Fencer is flat as a board why does she have giant tits in this image?
>>730732540A little off topic but are there any dungeon crawlers that feel as lived in as something like Zanki zero? I tried demon gaze and was really disappointed with how bland the environments were.
>>730732806I didn't mind the story modes because I'd played base and it was something a bit different. I did classic on both too and that was really good.
>>730742718I still find it super tragic how censored and modified Zanki Zero was. I hate it because it's a really cool game in a niche of a niche.
You're at the party when this guy slaps your girlfriend's ass, says NO MORE GAYS and interrupts your music. How do you react before he accelerates?
>>730744956creeping curse stigmata > ecstasy
>>730744956>girlfriend
How can you hate untold 2 story mode when it has Bertrand in it?
>>730746269>no fafnig boost/breakI'll never forgive fatlus
etrian odyssey next 2026 release dateit's goty tier all is good it has been preordained all is goodthis is the year have faith rejoice
The first untold was sort of a misstep that soured a lot of people to the concept, but I personally thought U2 was excellent and was really looking forward to U3 as 3 is my favorite of the series. So it goes, the series did have a pretty fucking good run overall.
>Nexus was 8 years ago
>>730742392Did you mean to post a picture where Fencer is flat or...?
All atlus 3 studios are already hands full with known projects:>Studio zero just did methapor and is probably doing the re version or a new game>Team maniax just did SMT VV and probably doing another megaten>P- Studio is doing both Persona 6 and Persona 4 revivalDon’t have hope brother.
>>730746269>>730746628I'm surprised that the sprite wasn't even in the artbook... even though it was a photoshopped version of angry him with Faf's arm with slightly darker shading + blue highlights.
>>730747242It's over anon. Just be glad that it happened and move on.
