And how do you draw your shortcuts then? Or does this also make you vomit?
A shortcut and a door are functionally the same thing: they both teleport you through an impassable wall. It makes sense to draw them both in the same way.

Nta but I draw both shortcuts and doors in the "lawful good" style. Not painting under the icons makes no sense, there's ground underneath the doors and shortcuts. I don't draw a wall in front because you can pass through it. If you walked through the door, stopped in the middle, and turned left/right, there would be walls so that's why you have them on the side. It also just look aesthetically nice to have a consistent outline around everything.

>>
>>561370867
Less correct but that is acceptable as well, as long it's consistent.
It makes more sense to not paint under them, because the meaning of painted tiles is "can you step on it?". You don't step on these tiles (the doors are teleporters), it's just your brain filling in that part.

>>561379992
Highly skewed toward males. The game is relatively difficult, has little to no story and rewards/expects players to gather information (party/skills/enemies/map) to do well.
>>
>>561385435
Except the doors are not teleporters, you walk through them, you just can't stop in the middle. Well, of course you're free to have your own meaning of what painting a tile stands for but for me it just means there's terrain there. Like I paint under a chest because the chest is sitting on the ground, even if I can't physically move on top of it.

>Except the doors are not teleporters, you walk through them
Well, that's the thing. You don't. You stand in front of them, press A, and end up on the other side of the wall. It might feel logical to think your characters walk through them but functionally they are in fact teleporters.
If they wanted doors to have a middle tile they could have made it so A opened the door and you would have to spend a turn walking forward through said middle tile. Maybe there was a technical limitation or it didn't work properly with the FOE puzzles, but that's not how doors work currently. Having FOEs be able to walk through doors you opened would be funny though.
>>
>>561397650
Functionally, they're doors, anon. You're being really autistic about something really simple, the series has actual teleporters.

>>561370867
Top right is correct because there is still ground under there.

No, you are just factually incorrect and calling other people autistic does not make you right.
You are hallucinating non-existent properties because there is a graphic of a door. Just because it only teleports you two tiles instead of dozen of tiles does not make it not a teleporter. Think about it for 5 seconds how these are programmed. You do not walk through the door. There is no middle tile. You teleport two tiles forward through an impassable wall upon interacting.

You're looking at the underlying game logic function, not the actual function it serves to the player which is what matters to me the most. So no, I'm not "factually incorrect" but you're not quite wrong either, it's designed to function as a door to the player, even if in the background, it's "teleporting" you forward two tiles. There's a door opening animation along with being able to see the other side and it does still occupy a tile, you just can't stop there. Just like how chests occupy a tile but you can't stand on them. It really doesn't matter though, there is no right or wrong way to map the game because it's all down to individual preference. I guess I map in a way that's about what the game is trying to convey, not what's going on in terms of technical code.

it's usable for exploration as a cheap skill to use i guess. but enemy skills usually lose to class skills in terms of damage, infliction rate, healing or buffs since class skills can get up to level 20 (except the dragon breaths, losing only to food boosted item) and for bosses you want more damage.

Poison is only bad in 3 and Untold 2, and even in Untold 2 it's valuable as a reliable enabler for Dark Hunters since it's the least likely for a boss or FOE to be resistant or immune to.
I'd even argue that in 3 it's only bad because all ailments are kind of mediocre in that game.
>>
>>561655393
It's strong in 5 and destroys most things in 4. Even against bosses with multiple parts like Warped Savior it can contribute respectable damage to all the parts.

>>561708785
Ailments still destroy random encounters in 3 and enable Arbalist's Snipe (or was it Sharpshooter?) which counts for a lot against bosses in the HD version. Like it's still the weakest ailments have been in the series bit they aren't useless by any means.

The operative word was mediocre, never said they were useless. Just more unreliable than they had ever been or ever were since.
I do think poison is the worst of them in 3's context though, since it can wear off so much faster and relative to HP values is very weak, especially given Wildling's TP costs and Ninja's really unruly poison skill.

she has a set pattern, in day time at least so you can know what she's going to do. she's not as bad as eo2u's ur-child imo, you're not punished as hard if you accidentally skipped a phase.
if looking at the boss's moveset and behavior is cheesing, then i don't think anyone has beaten her blind. some of her moves wipes you if you don't know it's coming.

1 had Golem, 3 had Ant Queen, and 4 had Baboon King. Did 2, 5, and Nexus have a random sidequest boss that was comically strong for when its associated quest could first be done?

the game's really fun when you allow yourself to use the dlc quests for exp and money, so you can just try out different teams on a boss without having to waste so much time resting and leveling up a character.
i do choose not to be overleveled for hippogryph here though.

i use this a lot to switch between different teams. not the money one though, selling the heavenly gift from the xp quest is already a lot of money. i always want the new characters are the same level as the old ones though. and between making sure the levels are divisible by 2 and resting multiple times in a row to drop the lvl again it sometimes makes me wish we can just pick the levels we want for new characters.

Fucked up how there's around 30 QR code quests for EO4 that were never distributed outside of Japan. Granted almost all of them are pretty repetitive "kill/gather x amount of things" type quests but I distinctly remember there being some unique enemies tied to them like the Mega Pooka (which we got) and Sand Leviathan palette swap monster from the art book which we never got.

I only used a dagger rogue so I don't know about bows. The main thing that makes them crazy is "Trick React". The description isn't very clear but they can keeping gaining extra turns when you land an "ambush" attack which is just a critical normal attack while Hide is active. So as long as the keep landing crits on their extra turn, they'll just keep attacking. Works extremely well with the Princess react skill that gives them a free turn when another party member's react skill activates. The dagger ailments skills had a reasonable infliction rate which was nice as well. Painkiller+Triple/Ecstasy is also strong if your party has lots of ailment potential. Basically, you use Painkiller first, and then every ailment inflicted afterwards adds to a Pain Counter instead of it's normal effect. Then you use one of the Kiss skills to do huge damage based on the number of PCs stacked. Vampire is also strong for keeping the rogue alive, especially since my party didn't have a healer and only had single-target princess healing. Hide and Trick React are footwork skills so I'd image a bow rogue would also be very good but I don't know about the bow-specific skills.

Two play-throughs, both had one necro-loli and both potatoes. The brouni used different portraits for each run while necromancer was the same but different color. They had different legendary titles as well. The first run had blonde "Nene" fencer and pink dragoon (she's not loli-ish but I can pretend she's flat under the armor). The second one used the medi-ko and gun-ko portraits as V classes. Gun-ko as an offensive shield-less dragoon and medi-ko as a pug. Yes, I had medi-ko punch things. I still like V a lot but I really hope they throw me a bone with new loli portrait options if an HD version gets made.

There are 10 classes, giving 20 female portraits. You have Fencer AB, Necro A, Shaman AB, Botanist AB.
That is 7 out of 20. One third of the portraits qualify. That is really not that bad. Plenty to make a party with, as long as you like mashed potatoes.

I like the brouni classes and necro but I'm basically stuck with them and they don't re-class well into other things. The game went more titty-heavy compared to previous entries which is why a VHD could be a chance to give me more options. I'm not asking for much, just give me a flatty harbringer and bunny girl at least. And while I did use a fencer for one run, not they don't count here at all, I just made an exception. The brouni and necromancer are the only ones that really hit my strike zone, excluding gun-ko's and medi-ko's guest appearances of course.
>>
Some bunny cunny does sound pretty nice, yeah
>>
loli necromancer is my favorite portrait in any etrian games, but i like big titty bunny too.
>>
>>561896424
I don't really disagree with you. Compared to the previous games it's a lot less but there are still some options. It's probably good they tried to add more diversity to the portraits to help the game gain more mainstream popularity though.

>they don't re-class well into other things
Brownies make decent shield dragoons and amazing deathguards. Some rover moves use pet stats making race irrelevant. Celestials have the 2nd highest luck so you could make a backline combo pug or status harb (if you really wanted). Fencer and masurao are worthless but id like to imagine someone somewhere surely made a brouni blade dancer.

It's only good in the first half of 1, not really worth the SP. The DH poison skill isn't ever really worth using. Not sure about Hexer because I haven't used it, but you unlock the class around when Alchemist's poison stops being useful.

I don't really get this mentality regarding EO. Another dungeon to explore, a whole bunch of strong bosses to fight, and potential closure regarding any left over threads is more than enough incentive to give them a try. The best, most memorable stuff in the game is usually in the postgame.

beat the first boss though it took me a few shots. Violet the whip princess carried, shes got a setup like the hexers evil eye into suicide and once that landed it was just a race to burn the boss down before it recovered
Servio the bow rogue is underwhelming so far but its early days, everyone else is good
>>
>>562062776
It depends on what you mean by mechanics but encounter design, dungeon design, and bosses are all taken to the limit mechanically. There's usually a good amount of extra plot too, especially in 2 and 4, and you get to enjoy new locations and music or at least get to experience whatever tense atmosphere they're creating. They're worth giving a chance.

The game is unfortunately not well-suited for using multiple parties due to only being able to switch members in the starting town. You just gotta pick four and stick with them.

but fighter lowers boss resistance to status effects turn 1 and then does a chase attack that follows arrows, while the rogue spams arrow status attacks and the princess goes for terrorize/die for me, which if it goes off has pretty much guaranteed the win

Yeah it works against all damage. I'm not sure about using Sovereign as the meatshield though since they're very squishy in 2U, even taking the damage reduction into account.

Protector is using Hit Taker

Protect redirects all damage aimed at the selected character to the user like Bodyguard in 3 if you're familiar with that.
