Is Cernunnos in Nexus supposed to be raping me this hard?
>>544477303This version isn't showing the naughty bits.
>>544477934I don't know why I keep insisting on playing ailment parties in these games when it ends up with me resetting on a fight 20 times because I can't proc sleep on turn 1. I should've just taken the Hero pill and breezed through the game.
>>544478412Sounds more like you should have taken the tank pill and gotten a Protector
>>544475002Now watch this one survive until Christmas.
OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO
>>544478412ailments and binds are really bad in nexus
>>544489294spoken like someone who never did ronin petrify lockdown
>>544475002Is nexus really the only game with model rips? I was hoping to find more monsters from EoV for reference purposes (and also trigourd isn't in the game for some resason)
Perhaps for Halloween I should get back to my stalled V playthrough and finish Fetid Necropolis
>>544478229remove fang
>>544505863Such dedication, truly admirable
>>544489294t. got unlucky
Cold etriams

>>544566627What if she took the shorts off?
>>544572873Then that would be hot.
>>544572873She would become a hexer
why aren't there more pictures of necro and hexer hanging out together. They look like they would be friends.
>>544590201>They look like they would be friends.Because both are averse to pants?
>>544477934Don't hit him on Cross Counter turns (every 5th turn) and you should be good. Unless you stashed/sold them, you've probably got some volt talismans in your inventory. They do pretty good free damage if your party is weak offensively.
Rover-chan sexo
Fuck man
Hehehehehe hex sex.
etriams that love blagasting
Fuck bun
>>544600396What's frustrating is I knew about cross counter but I kept going full tard and forgetting about it anyway. Often like 20 turns into the fight. Took me over four hours to beat him which is more than i've had on any EO boss that isn't a superboss. I was so pissed off I changed up my team, now i'm running Hero, Harbinger, Ninja, Gunner and Sovereign and things are running much more smoothly. Wyvern took one attempt and <10 turns. Ninja actually being a viable main class is so funny, I completely ignored it when i started out but did a little research and she's carrying random encounters with full party sleeps.

>>544661105For some reason, I still check the spoilers every time even though I know what's under them.
Etriam but New French Extremity. I guess you could argue Galleria and Refrain fit that niche.
Are there restrictions on Subclassing in Nexus? Can I sub someone as Ninja and grab the proficiency passive so they can deal melee damage in the backline?
>>544681340Oh it only gives half the levels so I can't access the full proficiency passive. Sad.
The spookiest etriam
Hexer is always dressed for Halloween.
>>544666827what if one day its not OHOHOHOHOHOHO
>>544712170https://exhentai.org/g/3602016/cee24fa49b/The new H doujin with an excessively meaty Marcille got an English translation by the way.
spooky boogy
>>544624072So I impulsively restarted my save, keeping the same party I mentioned here, and when I reached Cernunnos again he went down in 10 turns, less than half the time of my first run. I am truly Hero pilled now.
>>544717005What would you all consider the spookiest etriam song? Or spookiest etriam related thing in general, for that matter?
>>544723023I mean the objectively correct answer for both song and concept has to be EO4 6th stratum, right? It's basically a big Resident Evil homage. https://youtu.be/epoINGeaKUs?si=FK4EPGuFtQvYPQqf
>>544723023EO4's Hall of Darkness is definitely it in terms of music and atmosphere. EO5's Empyreal Bridge is probably second place (the theme is imposing but also cool as fuck) and Claret Hollow is a distant third.5's Fetid Necropolis and 3's Cyclopean Haunt have traditionally spooky aesthetics but the music makes them feel cool and moody, not spooky. 3's Undersea Grotto has a pretty intense atmosphere thanks to the music but it's not spooky unless you don't like underwater stuff.
Hexer smells.
>>544739690Of pumpkin pie, at this particular moment in time.

Hello I'm just here to post this and invoke the repressed memories of THAT one encounter for this frightful Halloween night.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k0rVqaA_2c

Fluff=Every day

>>544802605i dont understand i think it would be easier to unserstand if she took her clothes off
Fluff = Cinco de Mayo
>>544807276Now do you understand? You awakened Fluffzilla upon the good people of Japan.
>>544816334sticc is my most hated race but arcanist is one of my favorite classes, it's quite the dilemma
>>544816634>hating sticcWhat's wrong with you?
>>544804374So funny that they created a dungeon event that will most likely lead to a game over and made it infinitely repeatable like the squirrel encounters in 2, possibly to suggest something might happen if you keep doing it.My favorite event in that dungeon is still the one with the lost doll because of what happens when you take it back to its family and check up on them after getting the unique mace. The fact that the music just cuts out during those scenes really enhances the mood.
Last thread's Word Cloud.
>>544840828And some vaguely Halloween colored versions for fun. Happy Halloween to you all, etriams.

>>544847894Both of them should be liberated.
do you guys actually genuinely get super in depth and autistic with the roleplaying for your party? i know that was the creators intention but even with all the hours i've put into this series it's not anything i've ever given too much thought past the first hour of a playthrough. i actually feel kinda bad about that lmao, but the gameplay itself is so fun to me that i just forget to bother
>>544858974I like to give every portrait its own name and re-use those names if I use those protraits in different playthroughs. But beyond that, not really.
>>544858974It comes and goessome times I'll just be happy to grind and not think about it, sometimes I go full autism and imagine how the party gets along, who they like out of the town NPCs, backstories for how they got to be working together, etcits more fun when I get a vibe for the party interactions, but it has to be natural, never works when its forced
>>544867793AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH, SEEEEEEEEEEX
man I just want V HD

What do you consider the best iteration of shield basher in the series?
>>544879250Hero

>>544972421This Pugilist because she reminds me of Miyuki from Basquash. Never actually watched it but I always found her cute.
started EOV with a pug/masuraonecor/necro/botanistteam
>>544982556why two necro
>>544982951the idea was it would increase wraith generation/upkeep and they can specialize in different things if necessary I guess
I played EO3. 100% the sea map, beat everything on it so far through the leviathan (what a bitch), and got the UNDA DA SEA ending. I understnad I must/should do NG+ twice to get the other ending and the true ending. Do I try to beat the real final boss now, or just NG+ first? Will I lose my levels and items?
>>544982951Double Necro is a fairly common choice for a 2x class party, alongside things like 2x Pug and 2x Fencer
>>544983810I'd recommend doing the 6th stratum and Abyssal God first while your party is still at an appropriate level. Levels carry over into NG+ so if you wait until the third playthrough you'll be overleveled. Beating Abyssal God is more a matter of party comp/skill usage and luck lol than it is a matter of stats.
ded thred
>>544983810if you want actual resolution/climax to the story do not touch stratum 6 until the true endit feels wrong otherwise
Kaishaku.
Love oppaitriams
So when are they releasing the rest of the games on PC
>>545047376In a couple years when some super long Nintendo exclusivity deal expires.
>>545041382Rest well sticc
I don't like sticcs
>>545062729your opinion is wrong
>been playing this franchise for 15 years>can't pick alt character profile art or feel weird using the customization options in V and XI just like the 4 defaults man
how does this series compare with other mazelike dungeon crawlers?is it a proper spiritual successor to wizardry?
>>545079131YesGood balance of difficulty for the most part, dungeons that aren't too long or to short or two stupidIf you like wizardry you'll generally like these, unless the anime aesthetic puts you off
>>545083409i'm not concerned about the anime aesthetic, my only concern about it is how the male hexers seem to lack bodiesi'm more interested on if this series takes what wizardry had and balances it to be less unforgiving while also adding breadth to it - e.g. via classes with more team synergy, higher-tier weapons and armor to grind for, less restrictions on levelling and whatnot, and so ontldr, i hope it to be "wizardry but MORE"
>>545075497I like using color edits but I hate when bonus portrait DLC doesn't allow you to change them. I wanna use the new Princess art from the Nexus DLC but her being stuck on default colors while the rest of my party is rainbows hits my OCD in a bad way.
>>545070371>human sees action
>>544972421This thing right here. Fluff schools all the etriams on the court.
>>545084019Yes, or at least I think so, though I'd probably start with EO 3 if thats your main concern, its good a good roster of classes with more team building options than 1 or 2 which can feel a bit more basic
>>545084019EO is absolutely way more forgiving than wizardry. The only real risk you have is losing progress by getting party wiped, there's no BS like level downs or permadeath to worry about. Sadly the game kinda falls victim to the same QoL creep every modern JRPG suffers from, to the point the HD remasters on steam allow you to save anywhere which really deflates all of the tension of navigating dungeons. The games focus a ton on party synergy especially from 3 onwards. Formulating and pulling off strategies to totally neutralize bosses and FOEs is incredibly satisfying. However the games critically lack transparency in regards to what your skills actually do numbers-wise, and there tends to be a lot of noob trap skills that are wasted investments. This is arguably the most punishing aspect of the games because respeccing costs a bunch of levels, so i'd recommend you research the numbers online before investing in skills so you have a better idea of how you want to build your characters. The text based lets plays in the OP are a good source for learning the precise numbers behind skills and i'd recommend checking them out.
>>545087772i might look at 1 and 2 first in order to ease into the genre, actually, as the series would be my introductionone thing i have to ask is whether there is an overarching story to the series, or if dungeons exist solely for the grind and are infinitely replayableor both
>>545089161The games all share a setting and there is indeed an overarching lore between them, but it's not a huge focus of the individual entries; they tend to be light on story, disregarding the story modes for the Untold remakes of course, those are a different beast and sorta operate on their own separate canon.Also this is my personal opinion, but I highly, highly recommend playing the games on an original DS/3DS console if it's at all possible. The games revolve around a mechanic where you draw the dungeon maps on the bottom touch screen, and while the HD remasters do their best to try and approximate this with button inputs or mouse controls, there's absolutely no replacing the feeling of drawing the maps with the stylus as god intended. The games do feature auto-mapping to some extent, but I recommend playing with it turned entirely off as it really elevates immersion.
>>545089646>I highly, highly recommend playing the games on an original DS/3DS console if it's at all possible.is there anything the HD remakes have that the OG 3DS titles do not?i mean in terms of weapons, classes, quests or things outside of manual mapping
>>545089847They added easy mode, saving anywhere, one new song in EO3, SMT/Persona portrait DLCs, and a few minor bug fixes, but that's it. They're almost 1:1 with the originals gameplay-wise and don't add any meaningful content. So the originals played on intended hardware is the most authentic experience IMO.
>>544985352>>544992404Welp. I actually recall (it was a few months ago) that I did the sixth stratum, but either couldn't get to the abyssal god or tried him for a laugh and got demolished. I guess when I get back into it I'll give him a try or two, then just NG+ it if I don't feel like playing fair. I already got 100% on 1 and 2 last year, I'm fine with just enjoying 3 to the fullest (god bless formaldehyde).
>>544808093she big cute
>>545090183>saving anywhereare there any particularly difficult encounters or unfair situations that would make this option more useful than saving normally?
>>545090990Not him, but I mainly used it for refighting certain bosses for FOEs (minibosses that roam the map) for rare drops. 1 and 2 are pretty nasty with their drop rates (especially 1), so I definitely save-scummed the fuck out of some of the super bosses for their shitty, SHITTY drop rates. Though, to be fair, I did it to 100% the item logs, which is not required to fully enjoy the games at all.
>>545090990The games features an FOE (short for Field On Enemy) mechanic, in which incredibly strong boss level monsters roam the dungeons alongside you, and can join in on battles if you start one near them. Most of the games feature puzzles in which you have to navigate around them without letting them catch you, and the risk for failure is a likely party wipe.As you can imagine, saving anywhere completely destroys the challenge posed by FOEs. Not sure how to deal with a puzzle involving them? Just savescum lol. Did you get cornered by one and are facing a game over? Just savescum lol. Of course this is getting into "you control the buttons you press" territory, but I strongly dislike seeing one of the series' coolest ideas get neutered like this.

>>545101559Sex with my wife YomogiSex with my wife Chichae
>>545101559finally got around to playing rise a while backpretty fun
>>545104967Make sure to play Sunbreak if you haven't already.It's fucking great.
>>545089646>>545090183looking at stuff on the wiki, should i go immediately to EO Nexus when I'm familiar enough with the series?cause that game seems like it compiles all the stuff from EO1-5 in a comprehensive package
>>545108050no, that's an insane thing to do
>>545108189what makes EON so different than the others?
>>545105165Yeah sunbreak was really good>>545108050No, Nexus is the last one you play after you've played the others
>>545108050Not really. It takes little snippets of previous games to make a fan service game, but that's all it is, snippets. It doesn't have all the classes and it doesn't have all the dungeons. Plus it has its own issues like poor balancing and pacing. Each prior game is still a full experience that's worth playing.
>>545108848looking at EO3-5 i'm a little concerned about how much derivative classes (e.g. sovereigns and dancers to troubadours, runemasters and zodiacs to alchemists, harbingers and arcanists to hexers and so on) deviate from the originalsfor example, i noticed that bushi and shogun don't have the same stance-based abilities as the ronin from 1; do these inconsistencies usually end up as improvements or annoyances?
Is there any eo5 party I can make with 2 warlocks that works?Or just fun eo5 parties in general?If I start looking on my own I'm gonna end up choosing an all-rounder party with no cool synergies.Really hate how apparently omnimancers don't start working until max level.
>>545110382Yeah each new game has a roster of derivative classes with their own divergent mechanics and they're played slightly differently. This is obviously a good thing because playing with the same mechanics for 8 games would get kind of old.As for whether they're improvements it really depends on execution and preference. There are some flubbed designs, mostly in the earliest entries, but for the most part, any party that's clearly well rounded can beat any of the games.
>>545111086>Or just fun eo5 parties in general?its a good game for chain attacks
>>545110382It's entirely up to you, obviously, and eo1 and 2 have a very classic charm, but 3 onwards is where they really start letting you do more than "this is the fighter, he does physical damage, this is the mage, this is the healer, this is the tank, this is the status dude"Like in 4 you can sub out the medic for the sticc you see all over this thread. The sticc does statuses and healing, and to all party members and all enemies.In eo3 you can have a wilder summon animals to fill the 6th slot, you can make your zodiac a TP battery so you can spam nukes, you can put your archer in the front row for a shitzillion damage.But someone also beat eo1 with 5 survivalists and apparently they said it was easy too due to multi-shot.
>>545111901>>545111290>playing with the same mechanics for 8 games would get kind of old.my problem is whether the classes deviate to the point at which their inter-class synergies end up disappearingto use a different series as an example: in Bravely Default, the Dark Knight class has a technique that consumes HP to keep attacking until its HP reaches 1 or it attacks 5 times; the class can pair with the Spell Fencer's Sword Magic Drain, meaning that the Dark Knight will gain HP back for every point of damage dealt, allowing it to always attack for the maximum amount of times every time it uses the technique.in Bravely Second, the Spell Fencer is replaced by the Hawkeye class, which only allows weapons to be imbued with elements rather than full spells, meaning that such a synergy like the one i mentioned isn't possible anymoredoes this happen to any similar degree in the EO series?
>>545112359Pretty much every entry in the series has a whole new class roster designed to work around eachother's strengths and weaknesses. Even games that have returning classes like Nexus or the Untolds will rebalance them to play well together.Class synergy is also explored through the subclassing mechanic, which allows on class to use the skills of another at a lowered power. For example, Fortress in EO4 is a tank focused around drawing aggro and mitigating damage. If you subclass them as a Dancer, which has a passive that boosts evasion rates, you can turn them into an exceptionally strong dodge tank that eats up multihit attacks like they're nothing. The games are full of this kind of experimentation, and while there are optimal builds that funnel you towards certain options if you wanna minmax damage, you have a good amount of freedom in how you build your party.
>>545112359each games set of classes are built with each other in minddoesnt meant the balance is always perfect or that you dont need to think when team building, but they have different synergies in different game
>>545115354Have Protector and Survivalist ever had any synergy with one another?
>>545115354I don't get it.
I have never used a survivalist or a dark hunter
