6 items remaining to acquire, just got the ant's jaw. I will likely take a break and play something else before playing EO2 however, as it looks like I'll nearly reach 100 hours before I finish 1.

How optimistic I am about us getting Etrian Odyssey news in 2026 depends entirely whether or not two arthouse films I'm looking forward to will even bother to get runs in my dead end state.
has anyone ever patched the japanese only DLC portraits for Nexus to work on NA/EU copies? I want the redrawn Nightseekers and Alice Farmer...
>>552307275>not using the speed patch
>got high last night>made a super generic grimoire with charge10 and action boost8 on it with atk/def/tp up10>cant remember why the fuck i made this
What skills are good on a grimoire for a Protector?I have ATK Up and Queens Virdict because I went through a roleplay thing 10+ years ago but now they feel like a waste.I have:Agi upEndorphinsChain DancePrayerRechargeSo thats two skills that are kinda uselessTP is not an issue most of the timeDef/shield up are maxed alreadyFocus also seems useless because of the damage they consatntly takeProtector is too slow for battle skillsthat just kinda leaves scavenge or alchemy
why is the EO1U grimoire in the pastebin locked?the first one, not the second one

Optimal eo3 team:Front:princess, hoplite, princessBack: arbalist and zodiac
Why did they change sovereign to have way lower VIT and to not be able to wear heavy armor in later games? Having a tanky support frontliner is fun
>>552351902because we can't have nice things
>>552351560not enough arbalists>>552351902well, they had to have SOME disadvantage, insanely OP with those nerfs already
>>552351902they gave them circles for offense
>>552351902they gave them whips for fetish purposes
>>552350374The two dungeons after Northern Shrine will feel like a bad joke.
>>552351902I'm pretty sure they can still wear heavy armor in U2 and Nexus

>>552378047I support this but only if we get cool characters like Seija and Yumemi.
In EO2's 6th stratum battle theme...is that SUPPOSED to sound like squirrel chirping?
So the true final boss of EO. This is the only boss in the game that requires a real strategy. I assume what I did is the way: write down his attack order and do the same thing every attempt until I've mapped out his attacks up to turn 16 when I win? This being why he's the only boss with a teleporter to his location because you will be doing a lot of trial and error. Also completely unwinnable without protector I assume?
>>552424073the DS titles all have fixed RNG, which allows for brute forcing of complicated fights by just semi-save stating your way into progression. it's probably intentional. also allows for stuff like scylla exploit later
>>552424073There's probably esoteric strategies that fight it without a one but Protector is pretty much necessary for most thanks to all the free turns it buys. Later games move away from this sort of trial and error "follow this pattern to the letter" type boss design and give you more freedom in how you fight them with a couple exceptions.
EO5s superboss was the most funI can't wait to see what they do for EO6's!
ur-devil was good design actually
no one's cooler than abyssal god, even if he can be styled on by a lone farmer
>>552428072I agree but mostly because i think it's really funny that Atlus let people pay $2 for the cock and ball torture session.

How is troubadour in EO2? I found him extremely useful in the first game, was thinking of taking him again in 2.
>>552492664im sorrydid you say "him"?also no not really. in 2/hd they lost the ability to regen tp and a few other thingsin untold 2 they are back to being fairly useful but their ability to regen tp got drastically reduced. mostly used for cheese strats abusing specific elements
>>552493661That's unfortunate. I used Bravery early on, which helped clear random battles in the early stratums, then switched to mana regen for the later ones.
>>552493858Hexer is the backbone in 2/hd. Torpor is fucking insane.Cheese team is:Protector, Ronin, War MagusHexer, GunnerHexer sets up the War Magus, they get an ability that heals their own TP, and the WM can heal someone elses TP. ailment basedProtector smitebot until postgameRonin is just for overhead/midareba and they do it wellGunner is for element/physical damage with some slight support.Hexer for Torpor/Blind and atk/def downWar Magus is a mix of healing/support and wrecking shit
>>552494340I was definitely looking to use Ronin and Hexer anyway because they came in too late to bother in 1 but looked interesting.
>>552492664Not as good but they're not terrible eitherI had one in my EO2 party and he carried his weight well enoughI ran with War Magus/Ronin/LandyTroubadour/Hexer
>>552494498You will 100% get your fill of those two in 2/hd
>>552492664health is really busted, but that's about the only good reason I can think of running one.
>>552494340>Hexer sets up the War Magus, they get an ability that heals their own TP, and the WM can heal someone elses TP. ailment basedthis is a meme. hexer is too skill point heavy to bother investing in curse when you can simply buy amritas instead.
>>552495680hexer?you can max torpor by level 15, after that everything is just gravy
>>552496152you still want poison and dampen and revenge if you don't feel like actually playing the game, but moreso there's no real reason to do the cursecut build because it falls off absurdly quickly
>>552496976I used it all the way to the end. Torpor is the reason I was able to restart strat 6 at like level 50-55 when strata bosses exp falls offRetire at 70, grind strata bosses to 50ish, go back to strat 6 for progress, retire at 71, repeat.

How come I like all etrian games so much except IV and Q2? I hate those two so much
>>552530465Same, but V instead of IV
>>552530465>>552530632What makes you hate IV and V?
I went with Dark Hunter, Ronin, Warmagus, Hexer, Troubadour for a EO2 party for now, with the town crown going to the magus for extra tp for healing. I can always make a replacement character if something doesn't work out. Wanted to try out mostly new classes but couldn't decide what I wanted for the last slot. Was thinking Alchemist originally, but I actually leveled one of those up in the post game for 1 and used it for the true boss.
>>552533658you'll want to build up every class equally for the shortcut/quest checks anyways, so don't worry about it
>>552530465Can't comment on Q2 but I love IV and I'm willing to admit that it does have some things that annoy me. Namely how tiny the dungeons are, the encounter rate relative to the rest of the series, and borrowing/rehashing too much from 1 and 2 aesthetically with its starter classes.I think its soundtrack is great precisely because of this but the dungeon themes are generally on the moody/atmospheric side. Outside of Lush Woodlands and Forgotten Capital they don't feel very Etrian-like in terms of composition which could be another sore point even if I personally think it works in the game's favor. A friend of mine also bounced off the game because he didn't like the airship stuff which might also apply for you.
Why does Olympia get funnels while the player Yggdroids are stuck with bits? Did the King think it was funny giving us obsolete models or something?
>>552538598I guess what I'm trying to say here is that there's a lot of subtle and not-so-subtle differences between IV and the rest of the series that give it a different vibe. It comes with the territory of having a different director.
>>552538598people complain about the slow movement speed in IV and shill the movement hack and all that but i always felt like it was intentional in regards to the general map size and encounter rate. nexus went buck wild in the other direction with using every single inch of the map but i didn't necessarily feel like i was getting more out of the experience
>>552540163my wife is so pretty :)
>>552533546>What makes you hate IV and V?I only dislike IV, and it's mostly because I despise the overworld it has and how it works. In III I wasn't a big fan of it but I could endure it, but IV was awful for me.>>552538598Tbh I don't care about IV's slow movement because I never run in any EO game. And I agree with you, IV's soundtrack is amazing, probably the one I listen to the most
>>552286246Gonna rape that whore
>>5525304654 is awesome and you're a huge fag for not liking it. Even if you don't like the airship, I have no idea how that would be a big enough issue to hate the game when it still has all that etriam goodness. I don't know what you mean by Q2 though. The Persona spinoff? That's not an etrian game.
>>552530465I've never played either PQ so they're a total blindspot for rme. What's the difference between 1 and 2 that makes 2 specifically unliked?
Is 2026 going to be our year?
>>552561493>202[6]>etrian [6]
>>552565636>202[6]>202 is two 2s>202 x2 = 404>404 [6]NEVER EVER
>>552566941>202[6]>202 is two 2s>EO4+SMT4 remaster>remaining 6 is EO6YOU GOTTA BELIEVE
>>552561493what if this was one of those lost in translation things and the next stage is death?
>>552558686havent played 2 either, but a lot of the charm in 1 was the character interactions and I can see the roster being too bloated in 2 to make them work as well
isn't it weird how EO is one of the games that allow a mage to dual wield a staff and a sword like Gandalf was doing since The Hobbit
>eo1u>floor 27, 28 and 29>no floor jumps unlockedand im ok with this
>>552580159i guess? battlemages are kinda common in american fantasy games. japan uses red magesi use a hexer with sword equip bonus so i can use a luck staff + speed dagger
>>552580159Staves are usually two handed in rpg systems, main reason.
>>552593163Most iconic/notable Ninja skill?
>>552600235Bunshin/Ninpo: Double most definitely. Having an extra characer who can use Ninja skills or toss items is too good plus it enables one of their other most iconic skills - Tagen Battou/Drawing Slice. Izuna got a lot of mileage in 3 thanks to being a spammable and decently reliable delete button.
Kaishaku.
Starting Nexus. Are three Ronin really the cheese team along with a protector and medic?
I wonder how many more people would pick "Expert" in the newer releases if they knew it was just the original difficulty. Like, I never personally have that issue cause I already knew what was up by the time multiple difficulties were introduced, but I know I'd have been pissed if I got tricked by the wording and picked Basic thinking it was the default. So I'm irritated on behalf of those who think like me who have unknowingly gotten a watered-down experience cause they were new and devs wanted to spare feelings, or whatever weird reasoning they have for labeling the modes the way they did."Picnic""Casual"and "Original" would work fine.
>>552600235Double is the easy answer, so lemme argue a few others.First and foremost, their passive Proficiency. To this day the only class able to ignore distance restrictions for damage, being able to hit either row from either row for full damage, synergizing with several elements of their kit (Double, dodging, picking off random hits with Hawk Strike, etc). Similarly, their regen TP on dodge passive is pretty unique and gives them a lot of identity.Mystic Calm is an outright TP reduction skill with no conditions or restrictions that applies even to subclass, and somehow is a passive, not a charge skill. Very notable imo.Izuna: series' first reliable and spammable petrification skill (DHs ain't shit) across two games, somehow still untranslated in its second appearance despite everything else getting unweeb'd.I'd also give Nikudan a shout out because EO has very little on death skills, and it working off both Double and Mirage (and Afterimage in Nexus), instead of just the main character, is interesting. It's a pre req. to Double anyway so you are going to use it despite the utility.
>>552618894there are several cheese teams, and that one would probably be cheesier with sov over med, like most of them
>>552626118SEXER ENTER

>>552621351I was going to start on normal, because that is what anyone would do. I just happened to look up what they actually did before starting though and learned that Expert was the real "normal" and went with that.

If I want an EO3 party with a princess and a monk, could I get away with three damage dealers for the other spots?
Been going back and forth on an EOIV replay and first Nexus playthrough, and now I've hit the Golden lair on both...:(I don't even know what it is in particular, but I simply don't vibe with that place, and now I've gotta just take that bitter pill one way or another lol
>>552699589yeah
>>552699589you'll probably want to sub at least something into hoplite but sure
>>552699589just make 2 arbalists and keep either the monk or the princess in front>>552700054at least Nexus' version is pretty short and extremely streamlined

>>552752379got it in one
>>552721234This is the year I finally go back and beat EO2.
>>552754271With some occasional elemental imbues from the Shaman when Rapid or Hypno Cannon won't quite cut it I'm sure
U2 Landy is the best normal attacker in the franchise
>>552776458Even more than Shogun/Buccaneer or EO1 Landy? I never used one in 2U so I'm curious what they're capable of.
>>552779121As far as actual damage consistency they’re pretty remarkable, since maxed out passives give them 100% double attack proc rate with 100% crit. U1 Gunner has a higher ceiling with Vulcan stance tho
>>552779530I just looked up the numbers and they're better than i thought they'd be and it looks like it'd be really nice to use after Hurricane too. The crit passive even works with their force boost.
Please Atlus, just give me 4HD. Fluff's game must be preserved.
a lot of folks didnt finish nexus, damn.
I have a confession to make. I prefer the other Runemaster.
>>552803381so do I, it's not even a competition to me
>>552797541shit is way too long
ok fuckerswhich classes you slap Vampire onto
>>552811359Highlander/Shogun
>>552811359I made a pug vampire with the female vampire portrait. Partially due to portrait autism since she's not drawn with a weapon so "fists" made the most sense for me to imagine on her. It worked pretty well actually, pug's have high HP and the vamp accessory gives an extra 100 so she naturally funneled attacks in as sort of a pseudo tank. It worked well with the counter skill and vamp's boost let her endure fatal blows for 3 turns. I'd also have a survivalist scapegoat her sometimes.
>10~ years ago>liked the titty characters with tans/deep tansYEARS TODAY LATER>like the fair skinned lolisassuming we survive another 10 years i will let you know my tastes then to see if they changed
>just now finding out analysis works on physical attacks in eo1ufuck
decided to finally play 1-3 after only playing 4 and 1U back on the 3DS.man this game is stingy with shortcuts. or later games overdo it too much with them. Thankfully i was prepared enough for fenrir to not have to do this trip again.But i am having a pretty good time. Bit simple in terms of party building since no sub classes or anything fancy like in the newer titles but that's ok.
>>552854978I feel like by 2 and definitely 3 they hand out the shortcuts more often
Is a non Front Mortar Arbalist worth it in 3?
>>552855352Snipes have higher numbers in the remake

>>552840250cute girl?
For me it's burincess
>>552854978It's only the first and 6th stratum that are stingy with them. The rest have them in fairly convenient spots which I think was intentional if Niinou wanted the early game to be a struggle.
>>552873408Surely there are better ways of grinding her than that.
>>552884424There are but they involve removal of pants
water restored.I forgot how much i enjoy games which have a story just slightly more complicated than "there's a dungeon, go explore" and just drawing my map.I might also just be autistic since i actually enjoyed dungeon encounters just filling out a damn grid.>>552882986yeah, floor 6 and 7 already had some good convenient shortcuts to skip more than half of the floor. In general the floors feel a bit smaller than 1st stratum (at least the mandatory part)The random encounters are a bit painful though so i guess it is time to catch up on some levels.>>552855286i am really looking forward to getting to 3.
>>552887892I always loved that room in particular because of the water effect on the walls. There was another room in the 4th stratum that also had unique assets and those always stuck with me as a result.
>>552884424Where the FUCK are her feet? How the HELL am I supposed to cum to a girl without FEET???
>>552901550This is the wrong series to get into if you care about detailed feet.
How are we feeling about the future of the EO series after Hashino's recent comments?
>>552905868Not good. I want 6 but at the same time I don't because I'm worried about what they might do to it. I can only hope that it's only the Persona team and Studio 0 that go for the wide appealing nonsense. This guy is the Persona director and I think it's the SMT guys that would make another EO if it happens though.
>>552905868hashino has shit to do with team maniax's games and his comments are no different from the stuff he was saying pre metaphor reveal ("jrpg 2.0" lmao)he is also not an executive at atlus and his opinion only reflects on his own games
>>552907358I wish we had more big floor wide puzzles like this
>>552319147Resurrection is coming to my town this month so now I'm feeling confident we'll get remasters of the 3DS games soon. Or maybe a substantial trailer for Next Stage.
>>552907153>>552908061I hope you guys are right (and you likely are) that he won't have an influence on the series, whether it's direct or indirect, but I just can't help but worry about stuff like this.
>>552914549what
>>552916898What I'm saying is that my mood and morale have improved because I'm getting an opportunity to watch a movie I've been looking forward to in theaters for once. Good things don't often happen here.
>>552917170oh, was not aware it was a movie title and thought it was some Rapture nonsense pt2, my bad, anon

>>552982072i started doing all my runs with no dedicated tank/healer. or multiple-same-class runs. or both at the same time.really lets you go nuts with some of the fun skills when you can triple up on them on top of having buffers/debuffers.also you get to have fun solving stuff like front line palm alchemist surviving

>>553136848yeah, exactly what i ended up doing after my inventory was full, my landsknecht died and i didn't have any means to revive.Honestly quests feel kinda worthless when they don't give EXP in these older titles(though i don't know when they started to give any).But at least this was a good way to catch up on some levels.
>>553196817>though i don't know when they started to give anyThat started with 3. There are some quests in 1 and 2 that are worth doing if they have good rewards or are tied to unlocking stuff like 2's postgame but that's about it. Part of me actually really likes how 2's postgame and superbosses were locked behind sidequest chains but I get why the devs toned it down in later games.
>hero battle procs off normal attack made thanks to Commandshuh
>A = Damage taken by target this turn>B = (aSTR + aWATK) * 5>C = A / B>D = 100>E = 40>F = Subheader 0xB1's value. This scales by level.>M = D + (C * E)>M = 100 + (C * 40)>If M > F, M = F. This is the damage multiplier percentage.So the stronger you are, the more damage you need to do add 40% to the damage of Regiment Rave, you don't always get the full 40%. That explains a lot.

violent handjobs from jenetta since she does not understand her bunny strength

>>553314712I misread violent as violet and started thinking of Digimon
>>553314712Fear the STR of the buns
When you think about it the reason why Jenetta is so good at making bread is because she must never struggle with kneading the dough.Because of her innate STR
>>553317621Also because they have three elemental shots and each one shoots a different element.
>>553356126why can't they shoot the three elements at once like they do rapid shots?
>>553357086They can in U2.
>>553357086the ~lore~ is that each elemental shot is a different chemical compound mixed with gunpowder, I guess it's dangerous to so it regularly cuz it's a lot of shit exploding at once, thus it being an emergy maneuver in U2 with cooldown and slow action speed

Tourist here, please give me the default answer about whether the HD versions are good or not. I'm not afraid of emulating the originals but I'm also OK with paying if the ports are decent. Also how does the mapping work in HD?
>>553391172If I rub them together will they make a fire?>>553391203The HD versions are almost 1:1 with the original releases. So play w/e you want>Also how does the mapping work in HD?Awkward if you only use a controller. Fine if you use a mouse alongside your controller or just use kbm.
>>553391203if you can play the HD versions might as well go for them (paying or not), it's 99% either the same or improved (i.e. storage and strafing in EO1, somr skill fixes)
OHOHOHOHOHOHO
>>553391203my main complaints about HD are that the font in the EN version is kind of ass (this can be modded) and the sprites still have a bit of artifacting. the form factor of being able to play on the DS is also worth considering, but the mouse controls are fine. even better if you've got a tablet.
>>553391203mostly QoL changes with some very minor balance changes. Other than fixing some broken skills the only notable changes are EO2 provoke getting a huge buff to pull rate and EO3 charge and etheric charge only expire when you attack, letting you store them if you use an item or something and letting them work on skills like snipe.
>>553391203Presentation is overall worse, mods remedy this but don't fix it outright, Steam version has DenuvoOverall the originals would be my pick, but the mapping QoL is a solid argument for EO1 HD's case, less so for 2 and 3.
>>553391203They're good, they're enhanced ports meaning the content and games are the same. They include some nice QoL features that help them feel closer to the more modern 3DS games but the balance and experience is still largely the same. The first two games are particularly archaic with their lack of QoL so it helps them feel a lot smoother and better. Save slots, enemy weakness/buff info in battle, full party buff/debuff screens, fast dungeon movement speed, shops with organized tabs, more interactive map icons, the ability to use any portrait with any class, and better skill tree visual layouts were all added to them. They also added two baby mode difficulties which should really only be used for quickly regrinding levels back after resting. Also some skills that were original bugged have been fixed to work correctly now. The main benefit of playing the original over the HD collection is the ability to play on an actual DS and have the dual screens + stylus. In the HD collection, the screen is split vertically so that the map is on one side and you map with physical controls and/or touch controls on Switch. I played on Switch with physical controls only and while it is slightly slower than a stylus, it still works fairly well once you get the hang of it. Apparently you can buy stylus that work with the Switch but I didn't have one and I don't like smearing my fingers all over the screen.

>>553391396>>553392548>>553392878>>553392958>>553394525>>553395402Good to know. My preference would be to play them on real hardware but the only one I bought back in the day is EO2 and the carts seem to have drifted out of my price range.
>>553395402any capacitive stylus should work, yeah (ds/3ds screens are resistive thus different stylus)
>>553396132We need newfags to buy the hd collection to slightly increase our chances of not being ded. Well, even if they don't buy it and go with emulation, getting new people into the series is still helpful in general.

>>553518294you want the troubadour for exactly one post game boss that is virtually impossible without troubadour (again unless you have serious autism) since troubadour or hexer is the only form of buff removal, and hexer isn't particularly good especially with how late they show up.as to specifically why the boss has a defense buff that reduces all damage to single digits and a regeneration buff that heals ~800 per turn

Svelte etriams
I don't like this area in the slightest since it reminds me of Operation Abyss, which is easily the single worst blobber I've ever had the displeasure of playingGoing through 5+ stratums of this will be painful
Fat etriams
Manic panic etriams
Etrian Odyssey could use more rape.
>>553616682yes but it should be snu-snu
>>553616682The first stratum should be an underpass in Paris and the FOE is a lone pimp who rapes your party for 10-15 uninterrupted minutes.
>>553616682Please no, I am far too easily emotionally perturbed to be able to tolerate such a thing
>grimoire farming>1 perfect for every 40ish grimoiresim ganna make this fucking happen
So trying EO1 HD for the first time and so far it's progress dungeon, die and get pissed and play again with a clear head or thread out. Still haven't beaten. Felt bad for looking up a money farm, but goddamn I was broke for awhile. Also are the later classes worth using? Still on 1st Stratum and thought they both looked cool.
>>553623404Ronin is potentially one of the strongest damage classes, mitigated by needing to self buff constantly in order to use their strong skills.Hexer is more or less a debuff machine, a fairly good one however, they don't need a whole lot of SP to max the important debuffs out so you could also take some choice of their ailments but using them is more of a crapshoot compared to later games on most of the postgame fights.The main issue with them is that other classes fill these roles just as good if not better, which in and of itself isn't damning, but you gain access to them so late and due to EO1's damage formula a low level character is nigh unusable, so you have to spend time grinding them.
>>553616682Official Made in abyss etrian game with monster rape on defeated doko?
>>553624290>Hexer is more or less a debuff machine, a fairly good oneis this true? The main thing I hear about their performance is that the def down debuff is pretty weak since it actually subtracts defense in this game, which isn't actually adding much damage. And that the attack debuffs are outperformed by defensive buffs.
>>553623404Same boat and I just got to floor 6 and started wiping like crazy. However I have no medic or protector and my DPT isn't high enough to simply ignore game mechanics so it's pretty rough. I completely ran out of money for a bit and was forced to farm moles for drops Then pushed slightly further and remembered the hexer will heal you for free on floor 3
>2 other anons playing EO1 in the same threadCoincidence. Anyways welp time to rest my fucking troubador again. Is divinity worth it? I see you get a 30% boost at max which seems tight but the exp scaling in this seems more steep than other EO games
>>553626423Not wrong but that's more so on troubadour/protector/medic's buffs being busted and less on hexer's debuffs being weak
How are you guys still alive???
>>553616682Every game could use more rape
>>553628131Lust for long ears
>>553627882those are both the same thingHow else are you going to gauge performance of a class if not by comparing it to other classes? unless the game is so easy it doesn't really matter comparison is the main way to determine what's good and what isn't.
>>553623404use hexer and ronin in eo2good shit
>>553628131Autism and really good games. 3 people doing active games right now is testament to it
>land bind>it lasts 2 turnsthis is what I fucking get for not having a dedicated debuffer to manipulate bind res
>>553630767Does eo1 have a bind res debuffer?
>>553632471every time you fail to inflict a bind your chance to inflict that bind increases, up to the 90% inflict chance cap. HD buffed this formula to be (I believe) an additive +25% inflict chance, so pretty strong.
>>553632783Sweet. I'm suffering through with only 1 bindbot but knowing this I'll grab some of the conditional binds and just double up
>>553628186Based on how they perform against the enemies in the game you would use them on. I have used both, they're not as good but certainly good enough to get the job done with no major issues.
>NG+ reset all the questshey what the fuck that's not how it's supposed to work
Does war cry and hell cry stack in EO1? Also are axes mostly fucking worthless?
>>553639447>Does war cry and hell cry stack in EO1Been awhile but im pretty sure they stack>Also are axes mostly fucking worthless?Yes
>>553639447>Also are axes mostly fucking worthless?Crush is good. I know some people recommend maxing that out for bosses/FOEs while using Allslash for randoms and it is good but it can also be easy to forget to swap weapons every noe and again.
>>553639747Sweet>AxesShid... I'm sticking with them anyways. This playthrough is already going to be aids with no protector or medic
>>553639807Aren't axes still cut?
>>553639970Unless I'm mistaken, Crush specifically deals Bash damage.
>>553640436Oh you were talking about specifically crush. Yeah I was thinking now that I have grabbed 5 of each axe skill go all in on double hit then finish the axe skills up.
>>553626538I ended up using the mining points in floor 1 for money farming. Pretty efficient if you get a team dedicated for it.
Now I'm debating if starting on expert mode was a good idea... Fenrir and the other Skolls are killing me.
EO1U questionare lands elemental chasers tied to speed or do they get first turn priority?im really struggling with what to do with raquna's grimoire since protectors need so little
>>553648682I started on expert. running a PLDAM party and deleted the Fenrir at lvl 15 in like 4 turns before any skolls jumped into the fight.Though mostly because a head bind absolutely neuters him. That and Fortify+Immunize is way too much damage reduction so my medic didn't even need to heal much that fight. Though i think mostly he got stuck trying to use head skills but couldn't.
Hexer>ronin
>>553651841I guess I should grind for a bit and mess around with my party. Not sure if the Survivalist is good for this.
EO4 bushi main class question/nightseeker for two weapons/fort for more mace/medic for more maceor /fluff for better element smash
>>553655463In bed
>>553655965I liked fort for the run I did with oneMore mace includes the last element you're missing to cover all 3 and an attack that heals on hit, a naturally good pair for the bushi that passively loses hp. Bushi isn't going to be beating out nightseeker or imperial in damage but instead can be completely self sufficient, attacking every turn while being tanky too.
So is Dark Hunter good in EO1 HD? Dunno how to build one exactly.
>>553650351found out. chasers take first turn like ele walls/line guards.
>>553658489now to find out if someone else using parry in conjunction with bravery's gift actually works
>>553658365Only in the second stratum but My dark hunter is currently just there to throw out binds and shut down enemies.I really wanna make ecstasy work at some point though and whip the shit out of bosses.But you probably wanna run double dark hunter for that or at least something else that can bind too to get them fully bound faster.
>>553655463Hexer<3ronin
>>553661192>double dark hunterthat actually sounds pretty fun
>>553648682Kills the skills first and bait fenrir into the corner. If you are still getting one shot like I was make sure to buy more shit for your front liners. Bind his head asap. After than it's auto tier since he really doesn't have much health
>>553662641Why is the Hexer going nopan?
>>553664951nopan is traditional hexer garb
>>553664951It helps her powers flow better.
>>553655965certainly not medic
>>553658365the trap counter is good, forgot what is calledbinds are always useful
>>553672153>not making a hammer star drop bushipathetic
>>553655965the answer is always imperial
>>553655965>nightseeker for two weaponsif you want a normal attack bot... sure but boring as shit>fort for more macepretty sure this was considered the meta fort after medic for awhile >medic for more macecomplete meme but usable because the base bushi is busted>fluffcant go wrong
Does this work on bosses? If not this might be on a shortlist of some of the worst "ultimate" skills in the series
>>553687345It doesn't work on most bosses but it does work on most FOEs which can save a couple of turns when fighting them. It's much better in 2 where it's one of the most broken skills in that game.

>>553692294>What doesn't ignore it?Golem and the dragon clones off the top of my head. Golem's conditional drop is even tied to killing it with instant death.

>>553752324oh don't get me wrong I got face rolled on floor 6 for a bit but by the time I could get to 8 without issue and have the quest up it turned into "grind from level 20 to 28 in a single fucking sitting" thanks to the healing well

>>553764692i spent leftover points + gave them their A-game grimoires and started seeing near 10s grimoires. thanks
>>553744763it definitely feels like a quest that's meant to give you the idea that a floor with an infinite healing option is a good place to grind.I guess for those that didn't immediately understand it on floor 3 with tlachtga.The annoying part is my inventory filling up like 2.5 days in so i just walked in front of the spring the rest of the days. God, the encounter rate is aggressively high. I should probably level stalker on someone for further exploration. or waste way too much money on chimes.
well turns out i only wanted a survivalist in my next eo1u replay for agi up and efficiencybut both kinda suckSo how does this sound:Protector, Dark Hunter, LandHexer, TroubadourIts a NG+ so going to cheat a bit with luc items on hexereh who am i kidding im burnt the fuck out and been thinking about finishing nexus after a total party respec

I am now on the 2nd Stratum in EO1 HD. How hard does it get from here?
>>553851404I am the other anon playing EOHD and I just finsihed it. Floor 6 is fucking aids at first as is tradition. There is a quest to spend FIVE entire fucking days on floor 8 and if you do so after a refresh point pops up it becomes piss easy. I went from level 20 on average to 34 and no that isn't an exaggeration. I have never beaten an EO boss on my first try but I shit stomped the boss after the grind quest
>>553851404every etrian generally goes:stratum 1 - hard as shitstratum 2 - still hardstratum 3 - oh hey this is okstratum 4 - shit I am so strongstratum 5 - lmao snowballpostgame - fucking fuck hard as balls
>>553852308IMO stratum 2 is much harder than stratum 1 generally especially in 1
>>553852308the same can be said about the individual floors of each new stratum>floor 1 - HOLY FUCK EVERYTHING IS AS STRONG AS THE BOSS I JUST FOUGHT FUCK OFF>floor 2 - OK I AM STILL DYING IN 2 HITS THIS IS BULLSHIT >floor 3 - ok all harvesting points can be gathers I am gonna do this for a bit to get some money>floor 4 - I can now beat FOEs consistently and their gear is good teehee>floor 5 - Foes are almost auto tier
>forced event surprise attack>survivalist's passive nulls itn u t
>>553854997EO1 survivalist is fucking tight. He gets good damage can all harvest skills and gets fucking more ambush/ignoring ambush passives
>>553824030>>553828003i lied.Protector, Dark Hunter, LandHexer, TroubadourI slapped together an elemental damage grimoire for the Hexer. its shit like flame howl, shock, etc
>>553863691>back to being lame as fuckboooo
>>553863691I will never shit on DH+H parties, but why swap the other Ronin back to Landy
>>553865790i used the ronin so many times in the past 15 or so years. plus i wanted some land grimoires and using axes.and its a nice excuse to use the tomboy hexer. i dont know if my self diagnosis will allow me to use the tomboy hexer with a sarashi
>>553866874fair enough!
>EO1 has a curse witch class who can bind, ail and debuff plus a melee warrior with 3 elemental slashes and high af damage>EO2 has sickness witches who can ail, bind and debuff plus a ranged warrior with 3 elemental shots and high af damagehuh, never noticed the parallelswonder if WM and GUN were supposed to be unlockable at some point tooboth 3 and 4 also have samurai classes as unlockables...

>links cannot kill fenrir at lv25yall were not joking nexus nerfed the shit out of linkneskchthonestly bizarre landy got such a busted force break that barely synergizes with the class' most identifiable skill anyway, should have made their Boost Improved Link that also gives extra hits to other skills, making it useful for any build, and Break a reverse Miasma Tsunami (party moves faster this turn and does buffed damage)
>>553921885IV snack’s key identity is spending ten years applying all your buffs and then getting to linkmaxx for like 1 or 2 turns before you have to reapply everything again it’s fine
>>553924695And there are people out there that consider IV's Landy to be the best iteration of the class. Disgusting.
>Mirage Arrow does not require a bowh u h>>553927293bandanashark is just that good
>>553927293People see "landy can solo bosses woah she's busted" ignoring 4 is piss easy
>>5539297194 isn't "piss easy", that's a bit too much hyperbole. I think it has a more gradual difficulty curve that eases the player into it more but it still provides a fair enough level of challenge overall.
>>553927293I mean you’re intended to skip vanguard by just using rapiers for the act bonus but also lol, lmaoI like chasers but they always make the prereqs mad aids
>>553930819It was my first EO and it was barely a challenge. It's piss easy compared to every other game in the series but still above average difficulty for a videogame.But yeah the first 2 stratum not being giga aids makes it much more approachable since the first stratum tends to be the hardest outside the 6th
>>5539308194 is piss easy compared to every other EO at least, and they arent particularly hard

https://sq-atlus.jp/blog/>official EO blog abandoned since 5>not even MD2 or Nexus>much less HD Collectiondamn...
>>553931670>>553932114>>553932453It's really not, I've played all the games multiple times and I can't understand how you guys think this. 1 is easier with how simplistic it's random encounters and classes are, it just lacked QoL but with the hd collection it's been smoothed out. I don't think 4 is the hardest either but I think this is one of those points that gets mindlessly regurgitated and over exaggerated. 4 was my second game after 3 and I never once thought "wow, this is so piss easy". I never struggled either but the level of challenge and engagement still felt good. The classes in 4 can indeed be built to be very strong but that's true for most entries. If you do all the side mazes then the exp curve can be an issue but the same thing happens in Nexus too with large amounts of exp being handed out. If you really think it's the easiest entry then fine, but I just hate the hyperbole. At most it's maybe "slightly" easier when looking at the series as a whole.
for what it’s worth I definitely got more game overs in misty ravine than the entirety of V, that place has some fucked up blindsides
>>553934452You are fucking insane or running giga meta in 1. I am playing 1HD for the first time and I have had more issues in the first 2 stratum than all of 4 combined
>>553934452>At most it's maybe "slightly" easier when looking at the series as a wholeMy wife has played 3 4 5 and started EOU and she played 4 first. She regularly tells me 4 hard is the sweet spot for difficulty and is slightly harder than normal on every other game
>>553937694It has a rougher start but I think it's easier once you get going and no I wasn't running a meta. The random encounters simply give a lot of exp and the lack of shortcuts ensures that you're constantly fighting more often on each trip back. It's more tedious but the actual tactics in randoms and bosses is far more simple than 4 so I actually thought it felt a little easier.
>>553938554Tedium is difficulty when it comes to dungeon crawlers imo as the games are resource management. Especially 1 where it isn't uncommon to just run out of money in the first 2 stratum if you play aggressive
>>553938693Ultimately I think this is correct. 4 feels so easy because of the insane QoL that I exists compared to prior entries and V and nexus are much harder
>>5539344521 is only easier than 4 if you are spamming immunize and/or overlevelingwhich is a moot point since there are several ways of breaking 4's damage output and mitigation even with just the starting classes, nevermind weapon forgesthe only point in 4 where I had trouble was the Hollow Queen since I lacked leg binds... which the game hands out via Wufan anyway
>>553939030>Laughs in imperials one shotting super bosses solo
>>553938852V is fascinating to me since it has some of the most bonkers mobs in the series, with very mean formations for a regular, non postgame, dungeon and yet every class (+unions) are so busted you can steamroll the shit out of themmaybe one of the hardest 5th stratum bosses in the series regardless? has been a minute since I did 1 or 3 to compare
>>553938693Resource management is a part of all of them and I wouldn't say tedium by itself is difficulty. >>553938852V and Nexus have even more QoL, there's nothing that insane about 4's QoL in particular.>>553939030The point is that the lack of shortcuts is what leads to over leveling in 1. It's more tedious with more trips back-and-forth but as long as you're fighting all those random battles then it's really easy to over-level. 1 is probably the only game in the series that suffers from that usual criticism of dungeon crawlers where it's nothing but normal attacking constantly.
>>5539396103s final bosses are on the easy side because of the whole split path thing. The true boss is similarly a bit too easy because you have to be playing NG++ to fight it
>>553939610I’d give toughest to 1U. Visil doesn’t have a lot of gimmicks but he will just beat your face in
>>5539401091U is a very rude game overall>>553939794the shortcuts are just half the equation; 90% of the floors are longass corridors with no branching (maybe an early 2 way split, in which BOTH are longass corridors) leading to a dead end 8 out of 10 timeseven taking shortcuts out of account, look at how tightly designed most maps in the 3ds era are, not to mention some of them (i.e. a lot of 4's Mazes) being made with a closed loop in mind
STOP

floor 3level 11axe land is kinda sucking
>>553964246What? I thought you needed both emblems to get the true final boss in 3
>>553973569No, you just tell Olympia that you won't reveal the Deep City and then go back to Flowdia and tell her that you found it when she asks. Then before accepting the final quest at the start of stratum 5, you go back to the deep one prince and answer a few questions from him. You need two key items but you'll get those naturally.
So far you guys are right. Floor 6 is AIDS. The fucking bees attacked me while I was planting a seed. Guess I'll go back to floors 4 and 5 to kill the FOEs and explore the rest.
Also any other recommendations for other dungeon crawlers? Including eroge ones.
>>553968664Eo1hd bro? Couldn't disagree more. The raw damage output is nice and a fuck load of enemies are weak to bash in stratum 3
>>553977345Nah mate just explore the left side of floor 6 a couple of times. With the gear you get you will be in good job for the grindathon quest on floor 8 if you so wish to do it

Does the etria in metaphor have any connection with this series beyond just being a sort of lose reference with the name and the real world city sort of area?

>>553987117It's there so they can claim they haven't forgotten about etriam.
>>553987117I didn't play it but I'm fairly sure it's just references and they're not trying to say that they take place in the same game universe.

Etriam would be more popular if it had implied sex
>>554004471nah
>>554004471No it should be outright shown.Also is Caduceus worth getting on a Medic in 1 HD?
>>554013159yesit hits hard and after immunize you dont have much else to do
>>554013273Is Revive worth it either? Nectar is still expensive.
>>554012598>>554013159I didnt say it would be better I said it would be more popular, which is proven by games like persona with implied sexI do think Etrian would be better with fully explicit ero scenes on every inn visit and hardcore eroguro on gameover however

Some random EO3 sketches. And an etriam OC in the top left...There are also some Missy tits there for the anon who asked for them a long time ago. If any has an etrian request of 1, 2, or 3 (no 6th stratum spoilers pls,) I'll try to do itEO3 spoilersI just beat the 5th stratum boss, Kujura + Deep Princess. I noticed that there is a ng+ plus option in the menu now. Should I do the 6th stratum and post-content now, or should I ng+ and side with armoroad for the other class and collection log entries? The class and other content being locked behind another route would make doing the post content feel strange. I presume the ultimate ygger armor drops from Olympia on the other route for example. Also I'll eventually post a little autistic writeup about EO3 like I did for 1 and 2 when I 100% it.
>>554052090Nice sketchesAlso, SEXO
Im trying to use the EO mod manager, why is it so buggy? i cant even install any mod yet
>>554014683No thank you on both of those. I'm no prude but I don't really want the games to be R18 like that. I don't like guro either. The player is free to imagine whatever guro or ero situations they want but I would never want that actually added to the series.

>>554052090Nice collarbones.
so this is bullshit and 1st turn always succeeds, more levels just make it cheaper?Grinded a bit on floor 8 and doing 1st turn on an alchemist casting Inferno to kill any encounter before it does anything is pretty funny.
seeing the animation for 5 ring sword for the first timeI feel a bit betrayed the slashing fx is just an X with no motion that appears on top of the target instead of something more like a fluid movement like swift edge
>>554014683>>554054468etriam is already r18 if you use your imagination like your SUPPOSED too!

level 14floor 5landy is growing on me. boomerang axe alone to smack around the backrow is great, or using the line pierce smash to take a chunk from the frontrow and killing weaker enemies. stunning smash is also a good filler attackProt, DH, LandyHexer, TroubadourSoul Liberator is just fucking INSANE. i made a level 1 soul lib grimoire and gave it to the protector and its just wrecking shit. DH has rank4 and its hitting 400-600 damage depending on buffs/debuffs and resists and if its a non-sleep ailment or not.the multiple Charge10 grimoires i made last replay was worth it. action boost is not suitable for everything and for this team its more obvious. first turn charge/bard atk/torpor and second turn is a flurry is soul liberators or imbued normal attacks
