Is it really ok to bring frail-looking companions to dungeon crawling?
No.
>>746624129nahyou're joining my party if you dont liftI dont care if you're a woman or a spellcaster, hit the gym
>>746624203>>746624327How mean, she's trying her best!
>>746624838I fucking love stick woman holy shit I bet you could see her ribs that's so fucking hot
>>746624129>>746624838Gardevoir but more elvish?
>>746624838Is she supposed to be part bug? What the hell are those twigs?
>>746625821artificial humanoid servant (forest themed)the game also has artificial humanoid servant (kemono)
In the golden era of thicc, being a sticklocer must be a cursed existance.
>>746624327She's on it.
we love sticcs here
>>746626750*sticklover, fuck
>>746624129Arcanist is my favorite status class of all time. So yes. She can defend herself, just give her two daggers with status on them and a Nightseeker subclass.
Man. An Etrian game with better graphical representation of the characters (maybe like Wizardry Variants Daphne?) would be great. The games are good as the are, for sure, but I wanna see my sexy party moving, damnit!
do not the sticcshttps://files.catbox.moe/0rxk2r.jpg>>746626930bro, your imagination?
>>746626959Fan content (and yes, my imagination counts as fan content) isn't the same!
>>746626959panties are allowed on /v/ sir
the original wizardry had 2 foot tall creatures as party members or something, if this dumb bitch really can't swing that stick enough to be stronger than that then women were a mistake
>>746626930Sadly Atlus seems to only exists for Persona (and a little MegaTen) these days. Sure they put out the occasional remasters, but SQ and Trauma Center might as well be dead.
>>746627386this breaks the sticc
>>746627386Don't forget the vague pandering while actually giving you no games for like 10 years.
>>746624129Yes.Reminder that in D&D 1e wizards had 2HP and yes, it's as bad as it sounds.
>>746626930Everyday I wish Wizardry Daphne wasn't gacha. Genuinely pretty cool game...
>>746624948>>746625450They look alike!
Holy fuck I'm in love
>>746626930>EMD happenedNo.
Choose your flavor of sticc
>>746627386To this day, I'm still not sure if Wufan got cardiac arrest or had her bones broken (and is struggling to breathe) from that hug.Or just SO HAPPY that the Medium hugged her and fainted from the kawaii.
>>746629573Wufan
>>746629573For me, it's Wufan.
>>746629573Top row, for where i'm going i need two sticks
>>746629648You're running a Dismiss Blast party? Based.

>>746630860Z/G on all of them, then M/H and throw in an H/N.

>>746632334
>>746626750>>746626845Not for me. I love Sticc and Thicc because I fucking love contrast.I also like things more extreme from the average.I like really skinny girls, I like thick girls, but a girl between the two doesn't interest me.I like short hair, and I like long hair, but anything between the top of the shoulders to the small of the back doesn't interest me.I like really tall girls and I like really short girls but girls of an average height don't interest me.It's not to say I'm turned off by woman of average height and weight with medium length hair, it's just that none of those things about her will WOW me.I just generally like cute girls, but when they step away from the average I really like them.
>>746626801buff sticcI drew that wufan years ago for a /vg/ thread. Here's a quick new wufan
>>746627239source?
Do you still have hopes for the 20 year anniversary?
>>746635613Yes. Faith in Next Stage is my pillar.
>>746635613NEXT STAGE any day now
>>746634647Probably that 100 Girlfriends nonsense
every now and then i start making a blobber but get stuck at the battle systemit feels completely impossible to balance skills and classes, how do people do this shit
Even if the series dies, at least Himukai is still getting work for doujin porn games
Its been 8 years fellers you gotta let go.
>>746624948I don’t see any resemblance?
Sticcs need to be cuddled and kept warm and safe
>>746639650based
Why's she got the PSO FOrce wand???
>>746639650i unpacked the demo to look at the assets and even without the bad scaling the game does, the pixelart is fucked uplike look at this portrait, the eyes are clearly drawn in a different resolution from the rest of the faceif you zoom in a bit there's weird subpixel misalignment everywhere that's exactly what you get from ai modelsnot sure what to think, since himukai is in fact listed as the artist
>>746642021Maybe he doesn't know how to make good pixel art
here's the titlescreen illustration you get if you clear the demo on hard mode (or set "hardCleared" to true in save0.dat)there's nothing too interesting in the files
>>746635613Atlus formally wrote the series off when the lazy ports failed to earn $1 billion and become the most popular trilogy in the world. Shocking. We won't even get more ports they'd have to assign a $35k wagie to it for 2 months. Not worth the massive investment.
>>746639650Game? Is it in English?
fuck this website and everyone on it. 15 years ago when I first came here I dreamed every night about a girl in my class who would be considered mid-size today. now I feel nothing unless a girl is borderline anorexic. you fuckers brainwashed me, I am supposed to be attracted to healthy girls, girls who would bear strong children, not girls who can’t even get pregnant! I should be looking at a girl’s tits and ass, not her rib flare and collarbones and undereyes. i will never be a father, and you stick posters and those faggots on /thinspo/ are the reason.
>>746624838Made for bone breaking sex inside a circle of healing
>>746635613
>>746643021Should be out sometime this month but no release date yet.
>>746639693I'll let go if we don't get ANYTHING for the 20th aniversary.
I am so starved of DRPGs I've resorted to playing decade old stuff on steam
>>746642953I hate how the worst thing that happened to Atlus games is fucking Atlus
>>746639147most EO games are terribly balanced and some skills are just so much better than others it's not even funny
>>746644093you mean Sega
>>746644060as long as you're not playing mind zero
>>746644432Or Index
>>746644432Atlus were being retarded way they got bought by Sega.
>>746643056Ogey
>>746637723Why is it nonsense?
>>746645978Too popular so /v/ermin have to pretend to hate it now.
>>746639147>>746644358They make it unbalanced on purpose to drive player discussion and "exploration". If every skill was good it would be less interesting. Now you can feel accomplished when you figured out what the strong skills are.
>>746633763Bless you kind anon
Can I snuggle the sticc?
>>746644480>Or Index
>>746647354If you're a big furry sure
>>746624948Gardevoir but wearing latex socks and gloves
>>746643326>look it upSOMEONE MADE A FUCKING GOONIES HOMAGE GAME?https://youtu.be/ft5YGbHUVCY
>>746629573Yes homo.
>>746648130oh that's what it was
>>746629573Can you hug her without breaking something?
>>746648348Blew my mind when some anon mentioned one of the gbc brendan fraser mummy games by konami was also a goonies game in all but name.
>>746648438If you DON'T hug her, you'll break her heart
>>746648438Can you hug her without getting stabbed by a rib or something?
>>746626687what's the game?
>>746648660Etrian Odyssey IV: Legend of the Titan. It's a pretty good introduction to the series because it's the only game left lacking modern QoL brought over in the 3DS versions, since 1-3 were remastered with those additions.
>>746648130this makes me wonder what other forgotten nes games deserve anime porn clones
>>746648542Well don't blame me if you hear things creaking or snapping
>>746624129I mean arkanist's poison can carry you through the whole fucking game, untill last dungeons, it does A LOT of fixed damage that enemy cannot resist
>>746648130>EXP meter that just heals you when you fill it upSo that's where La-Mulana got it from.
>>746649001That's a consequence of EOIV randoms mostly being really easy, though, not to demean our beloved sticks.
New Etrian? Never.
>>746649285Its sad because a violent cunny crawler just doesnt fit into nu Altlus DEI image. You know all the super woke Persona garbage.
>>746649459>violentI don't remember the games having any explicit violence, that was just the fan art.
>>746649262i actually don't remember random battle maybe because of arcanist poison. though, i remember farming 3 dragons, and secret black dragon, literally for the sake of farming this dragon, because you kinda getting good weapons from this dragon to kill this dragon faster.
>>746650046NTA, but are you saying that THIS isn't violent?
>>746650091Yes, you need to farm all the elemental Dragons 9 times to get a fully forged Dragonbane. There's a similar loop with the superboss for every type of weapon in the game too.
>>746624129I will fatten her up with nothing but semen.
>>746650228>EO2>they're still trying their scam in the 6th stratumKill all squirrels
>>746650228I pet them everytime hoping it would pay off at least once and it never did
>>746650617That final one really makes it worth it, though.
>>746624129I like the cyan one with long hair
>>746650720You must have missed one, you have to hit every squirrel event to unlock the last one.
Unironically might pull out my 3ds to play etrian 1 again... unless emulating is better nowadays?
>>746650228nta but i dont get it
>>746650907Nah, Etrian always has felt substantially better on real hardware, it's much easier to use the stylus to draw than it is the mouse, at least for me.
>>746651135Cool, shame theres no stylus console anymore, any etrian made on nu consoles would suck. Maybe a pc exclusive one where the mouse can draw? Anyway, etrian 1 og or etrian untold 1 story mode. Its been years since i played either
>>746650797I wonder who's behind this post
>>746652484Don't be ridiculous, squirrels can't use keyboards or speak English, and even if they could, it's not like we have easy access to power by living in trees next to power lines.
>>746652761>squirrels can't use keyboards or speak EnglishNot anymore
>>746624129I dropped videogames after playing Etrian Odyssey because their maps were shit. SHIT!
>>746649262No. EO4's poison is just legitimately overtuned. Nightseeker's poison is like 750 a tick at max level which is insane for a game with EO3 level stats.
>>746654430If Poison is overtuned basically everything in the game is, it's not hard to clear randoms with all sorts of things, you can do it with Shockwave on a /B subclass. Which sure, that's basically saying the same thing as the random encounters are too weak.
>>746650228GIVE IT BACK YOU LITTLE SHIT
When will they port the rest of Etrian Odyssey games?
Is EO loliest game series in the world?
>>746655441They'll do it for the 20th anniversary, for the low-low price of $100 for 4, 5 and Nexus
>>746655604I don't remember that portrait but ZAMN
>>746655607
>>746655607I got the whole trilogy for 3 dollas a couple of months ago luckily, glad I waited
>>746655846>that group of EO fans that got together and cracked Denuvo just to give the middle finger to this bullshit
>>746624327what if they can put shit in a dimensional locker
I WANT A NEW GAMENOW
>>746643326I thought that was a G, but the katakana uses ク.It's the Cunnies!
Did you know the EO artist does 18+ stuff? Just thought that was a fun fact.
>>746657019We know anon >>746643326
>>746656072I got them for free since they forgot to add denuvo to the game during the first week. I still have the games on my wishlist and they still have yet to remove denuvo.Sega just hates money.
>>746657386oh...sorry...
>max poison circle>win
>>746643326The cunnies...
>>746624129Can't land a status to save her life but loves her healing
>>746657693The Circles do have somewhat shoddy hitrates but it's balanced out by getting two infliction chances per turn if you spam them.
>>746657785No really, when you use status ailments you them need to hit ASAP.Delaying landing the status/bind for a turn is a huge setback unless you're using poison on a foe/boss and not really playing around status.
>>746658329Good news is you can also run A/NS for even better infliction rates.
>>746654583You're hard pressed to find an EO game where you cant rape randoms by spamming your best aoe attacks, especially later on in the game. It still doesnt change the fact that 750 per tick on poison is absolutely insane across the entire series.
>>746657785>>746658329Ailment Boost directly modifies final infliction rates. Its the entire reason why A/NS is comically broken.
>>746658924It's good, sure. EO4 has lots of good things.
I feel like a wholesome SQ thread on /v/ is quite the rarity these days.What would you all like to see in the next game, if it ever happens?
My team in 5 was 3 fencers, a healer and a buffer and the fencers all chained into eachother. Was it retarded or smart?
>>746659665Better balancing so less classes are objectively worthless. Obviously it won't be perfect but I hope that no class feels like you're actively gimping yourself for using it in your party like EO2 survivalist
>>746659750Smart. Fencer has amazing self-synergy, Phantom Duelist feeds Chain Fencer well.
>>746659139>EO4 has lots of good things.
Did anyone ever complete an all villager run? Is it even possible?
>>746659880It's ironically Fortress being so fucking good at tanking that turned me off from using tanks in the series for a while. Then Beast managed to recapture some of its past glory.
>>746659967Fortress-Dancer is just special.>75% damage taken from physical attacks>16% chance to negate all attacks>25% chance to evade attacks>Party Shield reduces damage taken to 85%>5 TP regained after taking an attack, Party Shield costs 20Some real bullshit in there.
>>746660246Hoplite/Ninja is pretty unkillable for similar reasons to the first few, but she's only defending 2 people and she doesn't have infinite sustain either.
>>746660246Where'd her pants go
>>746660352F/D is just on its own level of bullshit compared to basically every other tank in etriam. It doesn't have to worry about specific damage attributes either, before Party Shield you can just use Strike/Element Guard and reduce all physical/elemental damage for 3 turns. Hoplite's Anti- skills have a stronger effect, but they're per-element and only last a turn. >>746660589Where we're going, we don't need pants.
>>746660624Perflat
>>746660882Yes.
>>746660624yeah F/D is probably the peak of Tanks in EO. The only other class that can compare is triple 9999 wraith Necro or 6 Heroes spamming shield skillsImagine a game like Nexus but it had all classes at their peak. F/D, 5 Pug, Runemaster, etc.
>>746661057>Imagine a game like Nexus but it had all classes at their peak. F/D, 5 Pug, Runemaster, etc.Superboss would have to be absolutely ridiculous to be any kind of challenge at all. Abyssal God with even more bullshit I guess.
>oh look a game with an art dorection I like. How's the gamepl-Fuck. It's Disgaea all over again. Getting real tired of good artists selling their services for games I find painfully boring.
>>746661671I don't know why people find EO so boring they have the only interesting dungeons in any dungeon crawler I've played.
Is the EO mystery dungeon fun or shit?
>>746662272both games are terrible
>>746662272It's pretty bad. We got a funny bug out of EMD1 at least.
>>746659665-Visualized monster encounters. Many monsters are fast or have ranged attack aggro. Groups are represented by a frontline monster and need to be close to initiate battle. You can take the initiative and first strike selecting a partywide skill combo; if it was the represented monsters weakness it can kill it and outright scare the group off avoiding battle. Experience is king. Game tracks your first strike success and gives you longer time periods before different monsters wander nearby. Certain spooked monsters may soon return with rare and otherwise unseen monster variants.-3D exploration in stratums jumping, rope techniques, boating, and other fantasy class traversal skills. Many have a little execution input window or embrace a type of detailed interaction like tying knots. Failing these checks can sometimes hurt you, set you back, or most importantly establish instantly reusable shortcuts.-Survival ecosystems for progression where you learn to restock inside dungeon biomes and secure a safe camp spot to push boss floors-Assign tasks to party to retrieve resources bad or good stuff can happen depending on who what where on your map and you sometimes have to rescue them. Member activity is tracked by the map so you can see the area they visited.-Helper party slots of 2-3 characters that earn slightly less XP but can fill from town or camp or to switch up tactics-A much different better story direction-Connectivity feature where fallen parties can wait to be rescued by other players. System will reset party to last save like normal after 12 hours.-Overall emphasis on excellent balance with broken stuff rewarded for difficult or secret content
>>746639750Look closer.>>746625450
>>746624129weird miku
Am I misremembering, but wasn't the team that ported I-III essentially using it as training for work on a new game?
Bug chan carried my shitty failed link party through the whole game
Next Stage when?
>>746665945never ever
>>746666062I'll never abandon hope.
>>746662272both fun AND shit
>>746665424Cute
>>746665424Why would a port help you make a new game unless it was from scratch
>>746627386I like that thing.
>>746624129Yes, you need to have frequent sex breaks when questing after all.
>>746650581If you're not into cum inflation you're not an Etrian Odyssey fan.
>>746670649more chub
>>746665424I thought it was that they wanted feedback on how mapping feels with a controller, since a large part of the series identity was the touchscreen mapping.
Impregnate every flattie
>>746671839this
>>746624129Bug wife
Are the untold stories good or dogshit?
>>746656714>group of EO fans that got together and cracked DenuvoAnon it was "cracked' from day 1 because the dumb devs forgot to apply Denuvo to the release build. They added Denuvo later in a patch, but by then it was too late.
>>746672754I doubt it was by accident to be honest
>>746670649Cute artist. Glad he isn't into hardcore etriam gore at all.
>>746671839True
>>746673209Yeah I'm sure they paid thousands for denuvo so they could purposely leak it without denuvo and continue to pay 10s of thousands for denuvo for basically no reason because it was already leaked.
>>746673538I dunno man maybe someone was disgruntled and put it on steam like that to fuck them over
>>746671839But they are still flat even while pregnant, right?
>>746674015Of course, their bust doesn't change at all no matter how many kids they have.
>>746644060At least you're not playing Don Quixote - A Dream in Seven Crystals for the Pioneer LaserActive.
>>746675848Rundown?
>>746644060How bad is infinite adventures?
>>746644060Have you tried Potato Flowers in Full Bloom? It's a nice little game, with a bit more emphasis on how you get around.
>>746676531we really need a new fun drpg, it's been ages
>>746678478You can always try Wizardry Gacha
>>746678803Ehh
>>746662272It's grindy and boring. MD as a whole isn't much good outside of Shiren, and EMD goes out of its way to be even more tedious.Feels really half-assed too, even the music and character designs.
>>746678953I considered it then I noticed the kernel level anti cheat
>>746679118I like the monster girl MD but I wouldn't say it's good, yeah.
>>746678803That game did look good. If they ever release a standalone non-gacha version without invasive anticheat then I might give it a try.
>>746678478Dungeon RPG is forever. Surely something new will come.
>>746624129I can never take these unlockable classes because I always have a team already set by the time I unlock them. I feel wrong abandoning a party member.
>>746680010I dump the most useless cunt
>>746680010I've thought about doing challenge runs with open space(s) for the unlockable classes but I never finish them.
>>746635613>20th anniversary >the last new game was for the 10th anniversary Fug
>>746681316>The series has been dead for almost as long as it was aliveDamn.
>>746676531I love the game and really wanna see a Potato Odyssey with the general gameplay of Potato and the aesthetic of EO. It's more predictable than EO for better or worse, and the voxel maps might not work well with map drawing system, but I really feel like it could be kino
>>746678478There are dozens of good Dungeon Crawlers that exist already. The past is worth going back to.
>>746663182What the fuck are you on about? Do you even like this series?
>>746624838if she wants a break just fold her up and put her in your backpack. look at her she can't weigh more than like 30 lbs.
>>746676037its not greatreally unpolished and unbalanced while also being braindead, the art and story is best described as professionally executed deviantart its a 6/10 game at most>>746676531yeah
>>746644093I hate Atlus, bigly even
>>746687204I wish she would stab me in the abdomen with a poisoned knife and leave quietly as I writhe in agonizing pain.
>>746682520I like his point about exploration. It's always nice to have more actual interaction with the dungeon itself, as in something like Grimrock. Potato Flowers in Full Bloom was good at this too. Even simple things like having to use a rope to climb down somewhere go a long way for immersion.But yeah the rest of his idead are retarded, especially that part about having to wait for rescue after dying. Imagine having to do that every time you die to a superboss.
I made a bunch of headcanon autism about my Etrian Odyssey 3 party The blonde buccaneer woman is 32 years old and is still a virgin. Nearly everyone else in the party are kids and teenagers.
>>746689669>The blonde buccaneer is 32 years old and is still a virginjust like u lol

>>746680010She's available from the start in Nexus.
