>>585570498Wherever they end up, it will be somewhere wrong
>>585570498They're the ones leading everyone to Next Stage, which is why it hasn't happened.
Therian qts...
>>585038386I've always made parties without any duplicate classes. But recently started doing a triple dragoon playthrough and it's insanely busted so far. A lot of classes synergize well with themselves I think making running duplicates actually pretty strong. Only annoying part is gear.
>>585592497one of my favourite V runs had double chain fencers with identical builds
Even if War-Magus is one of my top 5 favourite etriams, I've never used one. And didn't pick up Hero in Nexus either. I remember Magus not being great in Nexus, but which other three classes would make that party work, and be synergetic? If I remember correctly, my 100% Nexus run consisted of Prot/High/Imp/Gun/Sticc
>>585594417Very Earthbound/Mother 3-esque statement there
double chin fencers
>>585594417I'm sorry anon but I'm going to have to call you a retard for this post. You've never used one and yet they're still a top favorite? And despite never using one, you somehow know they're "not great" in Nexus? Did you just listen to some random fags post and take it at face value? WM is good in Nexus by the way.
>>585599990Aesthetics counts for a lot, and I meant Fang. And my memory of them not being good is from when it released, and 90%+ of the ones frequenting /eog/ used Sovereign, and kept praising them while calling WM the worst healer. I really dunno, that was my impression from /eog/ at the time
>>585600753Well whatever posts you were blindly listening to were from retards and you should use the class yourself and form your own opinion. I can understand liking just the design but if you like it that much, then why have you never used her? Did you play all three games she was in and ignore her each time?
>>585602339Used Medic in 2u, and sticc in Nexus. I had EO1-3 on the ds flashcard when it was released, but never made it far in 1 and 2. Only finished 3. That is so long ago, and I was doing a lot of other stuff back then
>>585600753They aren't actually good in nexus, the other anon is coping. Bad heals, poor stats. But it's mostly because other classes (like princess) are so busted. You can still use them and finish the game. They just don't feel that impactful anymore.
>>585603064Not coping about anything, they're perfectly fine in Nexus. Their style of healing is about constant chip healing and preemptive healing, it's not bad, just a different play-style. They're cut skills are also useful.
>>585602829Just be sure to user her in Nexus then. She works well with a hero that has Encourage which will further add on to the parties chip healing. WM is about fast, weaker heals but they've got a lot other useful things in their tree as well. They can also dish out good damage with Ailing Slash if you want to go that way.
>>585602829Use her in vanilla 2 as part of a Chaser team
>>585613754I did run a chaser team in 2u, but I either went with Sovereign or Medic. I might have made some big mistakes with my setup, because I remember not liking it, and I loved my 4 chaser team>>585607890I've never managed to complete a EO game twice, always stop at around the third stratum. I'm dreading the stairs stratums
>>585614227Oh sorry, thought you were considering a second Nexus run. Then just go play vanilla 2 or 2hd and use her there. 2's dependence on weapon type means fang will reliably get heals off quickly with swords, that's likely what led to her healing skills eventually turning into what they are in later games.
>>585617816Oh, no, I'm was thinking of doing a second Nexus run, the last time was in 2019. I could always try the steam releases too I guess, never picked them up, too expensive for what it was. But aside from the stair-shrines, Nexus was a good game, post-game was pretty easy too. And Hero seems cool, especially ero hero
>>585614227Warmight is a bit too strong to ignore in eo2 if you want a chaser team. In 2u it's only 25% / 35% at level 10 / 20 so a bit less important. I'm not actually sure, but buffs might stack different in the original 2 compared to the newer games (since landy probably wants warcry up too.)
>>585618620I also mentioned Fang for a Chaser EO2 because iirc the cut skills in that game honestly aren't the greatest in terms of damage, to the point that jars or (more comparably) imbues probably fare rather favorably.
>>585618551The hd collection is well-worth it in my opinion. I guess I misunderstood again, just use hero, wm, and whoever you want that you didn't use in your first run for nexus. Go by what portraits you like and then build a party from there, that's what I do. Nightseeker would be good for handing out ailments for your WM. Ninja is good as well but you'd have to not use afterimages for your hero (which is actually still viable).
>>585620820Still around 40 bucks for each game, that's steep, even with the QoL and fixes. Flatseeker is a q-t, and she was nice in 4. Shoguns are cool but should probably go Sovereign for that, harbinger might work. I'll play around with it
>>585624812Well for me at least, they're worth far more than most games releasing nowadays and I don't mind paying to support niche series that I love. Shogun can still work without sovereign if you use oils and/or just subclass one in later. Harbringer should work for ailments but I've never used one since they don't have any portraits I like.
>>585625729Not a fan of of the art of them either, one of the few portraits I probably would change out along with the other V class there, usually like to stick to the original. Didn't use them in V either
>>585627476If V gets an hd version, it's my number one choice for a class getting a new loli portrait. I'd also like to see a loli masurao.
I've used a number of ailment parties but I don't think I've ever really used sleep as an ailment. Hard stunning is nice but having to not have anyone attack after the sleep inflictor is kind of annoying to set up sometimes.
>>585640856at least they'll lose one turn, no?
>>585640856Sleep is one of the best ailments for random encounters when you have it in an AoE move. You view it as a stun in most cases, even if you attack after putting an enemy to sleep, you still cost them their turn while doing more damage on wake-up. It's actually probably my favorite ailment for randoms.
>>585641721Also pretty well worth the effort if you do have a party with an actual super nuke of a skill to get the damage bonus with
Live
>>585654309I can't muster the STR any more...
Thankfully, bnnuys have enough STR for us.And they also have nice butts.
don't worry /eog/ i got a nectar.
Anyone here know anything about extracting assets from 3DS cia files? For various reasons I want to get some game things from Nexus, I remember that the first version of the soundtrack that ended up floating around was just ripped from the game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpuISAmbIAIetriam songs for this feeling?
>>585640980Not always. If the enemy attacks, then you inflict sleep, then you hit it all in the same turn you the enemy doesn't miss any turns. You get a damage bonus for one hit but that's not really worth it.>>585641721Oh you're right, I somehow completely forgot that I used a hexer and torpor for the second half of EO2. I don't think I ever tried to sleep any bosses but it definitely made random encounters a breeze.
>>585671535Sleep requires careful turn order consideration. On a fast character, it's basically a stun but on a slow character, it's for setting up the next turns to regroup, heal/buff, and ideally set up a big triple damage wake-up hit. Its both a defensive and offensive ailment depending on how it's used. One example is setting up AoE sleep for Arbalist's Snipe in 3. If you can reliably put the mob to sleep before they act, you can end the turn with big AoE damage since Snipe is strong to begin with and is further improved with the sleep bonus. Fast acters like ninja and nightseeker often use their sleep as stuns on the other hand. Nexus Arcanist has probably the best sleep for setting up the next turn in the series though since their circles always activate last, meaning you can attack without worrying about the wake-up.
>>585675506Don't forget that you can even elementally imbue and (Etheric) Charge Snipe too

>>585771515I think this version is fine enough, here you go bros: https://gofile.io/d/oevmLL1zRemember its still a WIP so let me know if you find any bugs or broken stuff, i tried to fix as much as i could find though. also make sure it loads all 30 floors and their layouts, i had minor issues with thatIf you're too lazy to read the readme, heres how to use it:1. Put the flooreditor folder in your EOHD folder with the game exe2. In that folder run script 13. close it then run the game normally and let it sit on the title screen for a minute4. close the game then run build and play (or script 2 if you dont wanna play immediately)5. load a save and hit f9 to view the editorRemember to save so it keeps your changes and be aware that using special tiles (sand currents/elevator/etc) outside their intended stratum will lead to broken stuff and weirdness. I also had an issue with map changes persisting across saves at one point, that should be fixed but if its not let me know
>>585817126Nah I don't agree. Drawling maps is trivial you just keep the stylus pressed on the tile you are on while you walk around and mass paint walls when you are done with the floor. Maybe 2-5% of the time playing is on drawling a map
>>585824512I'm too unskilled to do that

I wonder why labyrinth of refrain/galleria doesnt have a following like etryian
>>585860797Because they're not very good and N1 was also late to the party with it, a lot of the larger followings for niche games like this started earlier. Their main thing has always been Disgaea which started on PS2 and does have a similar following, actually probably a larger one than EO in the west. As somebody that likes both series, a dungeon crawler with Harada art should've been gold for me but sadly I just don't like how N1 executed it. To be fair though, I've only played about 75% of Refrain before dropping it and never decided to give Galleria a chance because I wasn't seeing anything that made me want to give the series a second shot. Also there was a criminal lack of loli/flat portraits, it's crime to hire Harada and not have him draw more. I'm also not fond of the story focus and edgy writer they had for the games.
>>585863139It's a little odd feeling how poorly edge writing tends to work in DRPGs
>>585860797the gameplay doesn't seem all that interesting to be honest. One of those spam the attack command until everything's dead type of rpg's.
>>585860797Because the games are shit anon. Not nearly enough meat to get into
>>585868523Yeah and that writer is no longer with N1. I'd kind of like to seem them try another new IP dungeon crawler with Harada art but they're likely still not capable of making combat anywhere close to as good as EO.
The only one I never touched was EON so I want to do a run with 5 farmers only. How screwed I am?
>>585883338What's your plan for actually killing things?
>>585883469Dunno, weapon skills maybe.
>>585883582And before you have weapon skills?
>>585883848Attack while being overleveled thanks to their exp passive.I think the first boss drops the map for a weapon skill so it will be a miserable experience at the beginning.
>>585883338I wouldn't do that for your first run of the game, you'll ruin the experience. Farmers actually did get a decent attack skill though but I think the enemy needs to be bound.
>>585906279Nah she's fine
>>585897496cute
>>585895301tits too big
>>585934828tits just perfect
>>585883338i did 'suboptimal'/meme parties and classes in nexus before and you can play anything just fine.but nexus is too much of a slog to play suboptimal because all it does is make it drag on even longer. so i always just ended up burning out on them. there is a certain point in this game where you just want to get it over with and kill everything as fast as possible.

Oh, etrian generals are back?Even if dead from look at itWell, anyway, I have a questionPlan to commission art for 4's 15th anniversary next year.Can't settle on lands/stratums, and classes.I feel like lush woodlands would be best choice, but not fully sure, especially because otherworld could have kangaroo in backgroundAny suggestions?
>>586022046yeah and every map afterward were basically circles or a mario kart looking racetrack with the shortcut right next to the exit instead of the originals requiring like 5 per floor
>>585989860I think 2 and 3 handled it best, with 2 having the shortcut warp poles and 3 having lots of shortcuts. They really proved that you didn’t need free-form floor jump at all.
>>586050556Jenetta needs to give me a hands on demonstration.

>Remove Fang poster is also a Yugiohfag
I started playing EO3 on Switch on a whim from an Asia cart, so it has a different game ID to the American one.I want to use the font fix mod, but also to modify some portraits. I remember that just changing the game ID won't work, even less when I'm combining mods instead of using the one.I know from fiddling with Pokemon mods a couple years back that I'd need to modify a file that acts as an index of sorts. Is there any documentation on how to do this with games that aren't Pokemon? I remember trying a guide for Trinity Mod Pack with EO but I couldn't get anything to work.
>>586028894Bandanasnack is a must.
I've started my first playthrough of 5, i'm planning out my team's skills and I wanted to ask: is Shaman's Sanctuary even worth all the points it would take? With the other skills I want I probably wouldn't even be able to get it until the postgame, so are there any superbosses it would actually be worthwhile against or should I just not even bother?The full party other than Herald Shaman is Barrage Pugilist, Cannon Dragoon, Dancer Masurao (might pivot to master later but I want to give dancer a shot at least) and Broker Necromancer
Jenetta needs to show me her butt.
>>586084004This but her fat tits
>>586086502Why not both
How hard is EO3 for a newcomer? Can I just play?? Im okay with it being difficult as long as I don't need to look at spreadsheets and I can figure things out myself.
>>586087941Its not easy but it should be doable as a first game. Just try a balanced party
>>586087941It's probably the 2nd best starting point imo after 4. If you play HD make sure you play in hard since that's the "real" difficulty
>>586089738Will play the DS version
>>586087941The only outside resource for these games that you might ever want to look at are the skill sims but I wouldn't say they're required to beat the games. It's just useful to have skill data sometimes so there's nothing wrong with checking them. 3 is a good starting place. It's a challengeing game but not unmanageable. The series expects you to be able to make parties so make sure you have a healer and tank. It might kick your ass a bit if it's your first entry and you're not used to these kinds of games. Early game EO in general is kind of rough because you'll be poor and just trying to get your party off the ground.
>>586099220conditional drops are also worth peeking atnot as big of a deal in the later games when the bar patrons tell you them other than the boss ones, which you don't really need until end game anyways

>>586265786Then we can finally enter the endless sleep known as death with no regretsbut while there's still hope, we must wait. Just in case etriam rises again.

>>586271175Did it? It has been a long time. I remember most of the flavour elements (like the named NPCs) just didappearing before the midpoint but I don't remember if it also applied to events.I remember EO5 had some event skills, but it wasn't that good and there were very few chances to have them in the latter strata (or none at all in the last).
>>586273618Nta but I think every game has events that are altered if you have the right class in your party.

Lack of bnnuy to sex is the scariest thing about this etriamween
Been going through Nexus with a party put together by someone else (who hasn't played any etriam at all and decided largely based on which ones he found the cutest), got subclasses recently. Party is now Imperial/Ninja, Highlander/Hero, War Magus/Sovereign, Gunner/Nightseeker, and Zodiac/Shogun. Watching everyone's HP go down and up every time the Highlander uses Legion Burst/Charge is funny.

Why does this dead franchise have a general?
>>586354632Because faith is our pillar
>>586354705My faith turned to seething hatred for Shartlus long ago.
Where is the next hd collection?
>>586354919It will probably only get worse. Didn't they recently say that they wanted to reach a larger audience with their rpgs?
>>585860797It came late, and to explore any of its deeper mechanics you need to invest weeks into grinding levels, gear and testing without making any progress. Since you can have dozens of characters involved in one party this gets out of hand very fast. The postgame is abrutal raise in difficulty and you need to put in that work if you want to best it legit - it's many times more grueling than going 100% on EO2U on expert.I still liked it and was very fond of many of my dolls, but it's very clearly a worse designed game than EO (but way better than Demon Gaze). I'll play Galleria some day.
Restarting my EO3 playthrough. I would like some tips on party composition. Old party was pic related but I found the Zodiac largely being useless since I'd be saving her TP for boss monsters or quick AOE kills. Also is a Monk and Sovereign being redundant and which row should I put them in?
>>586371656I personally like to take one or the other, so Monk and Sov is kinda redundant in my opinion, but it can perfectly work. Maybe you could make your sov focus on regal radiance and offensive buffs instead of the defensive and healing ones while making your monk a healer, or the other way around where your sov is focused on buffs and passive healing while your monk focuses on fist skills (and resurrect and refresh/unbind for convenience). They both can go in either line, but if your monk is going for fists he should go on the front row. Sov can be quite tanky so she can be on the front row to tank as well, but she can take space in the back since she won't have any damage penalty.
>>586370820It's grueling because it's wildly tedious. It doesn't have a single boss as hard as warped savior the easiest EO superboss
>>586371656>Zodiac was useless outside of when I was clicking her buttonsJust use the TP anon
>>586371656>using princess>Using zodiacYou disgust me
>>586373159>Not using princessYou disgust me. What's your problem?
>>586373045But then she runs out of it all and is left with smacking things with her book :(>>586372660Thanks for the advice anon, I think I'll keep both since I like their designs and class concepts. Will probably have the Sov in the back focusing on passive healing and defensive buffs with the monk having a point or two in healing and some support with the rest in offensive skills. What should I replace the Zodiac with? I had a Hoplite in the front row as a tank for a bit that was really helpful or should I take something like an arbalist or buccaneer and move my ninja to the front?
>>586373159They cute.
>>586373603When your out of TP it's time to bail anyways.
>>586370820Or you can just spam the magical or physical counter skills while spamming the jitter bugs to revive them.
>>586374761I think that's why he mentioned the legit part
GET OVER HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT
>>586378115Damage reflection is a legit strategy since is not abusing any bug, you are even given a super specialized reflect coven for the final boss in the postgame.Is just a boring strategy.
>>586378434Well that didn't go well...
>>586378709Is spamming force guard every turn and spamming revenge a legit strategy? How about immunize since it's not a bug but rather a translation issue and it's just wildly over tuned?
>>586384002Immunize effect is obviously not what the devs had in mind.
>>586389032It literally is. It's just an aweful translation and they hadn't yet figured out balance
>>586364160Pretty sure that was only the Persona director that said that. Still though, they've already reached a wider audience and I definitely wouldn't want that sentiment being applied to any new EO projects. I miss old Atlus, it's bizarre as hell seeing them treated as some big player now. The post above that mentions "what if we get Next stage but it's bad" is definitely a real fear of mine. I'd like to believe they understand that the audience for EO is more niche but nowadays you never know when a dev might go full-retard.
>>586397435>Still though, they've already reached a wider audience and I definitely wouldn't want that sentiment being applied to any new EO projects. I miss old Atlus, it's bizarre as hell seeing them treated as some big player now.Like with many things, we did not truly appreciate how good we had it back then
welp i just learned you can die from bloodsurge damage
>>586398678Kinda crazy the hot streak atlus had between 2003-2016. Basically 15 years where I have a positive opinion on every single game that they released. Well games that came over officially at least I have no clue about shit like NINE
>>586265786Real question: What if Himukai isn't involved anymore?
>>586404497No buy. Simple as.
>>586404497Who replaces him? If it's another prolific Loli artist who's style works then fine
>>586405194Toru Nakayama
>>586374761Honestly I never realized anything like that myself. I just saw how easily the first postgame boss destroyed my party, no clear answer to what I could do better, and the wide array of systems to get immersed in for infinite time and decided that I'd rather be done with the game already. It took long enough just to reach that point.
>>586407468When damage reflect appears, it just activates all my neurons. This is also why I hate Curse in EO, is near useless, like is only situationally useful in EOIII while it didn't work as well as I expected in EON with Dauntless Order.

>>586449612Man, time really flies, huh
>>586462663looking at the release date on eo1u and realizing how many hours of joy or time passing it gave me.welled up a little bit thinking about it.
>>586272691asking again to be more specificwhat skills and subclass should i make a hero? should i have more than one hero?can i have a frontline full of heroes and two whatevers in the back?flat, busty, flatwhatever, whatever
>>586464914sure
>>586465062do you chew your chocolate?
>>586464914You can but you probably don't want to cause of the clones.
>>586464914Loli hero only. Vampire.
>>585032962shill this slop to me
>>586464914For gameplay, just make Imperial Hero, you will spam shield skill anyways so the subclass is just some extra damage.For fun play, just give them subclass farmer (or make a farmer with subclass hero for more underperforming fun shenanigans).
>>586485046The games are not slop and you're going to need to ask more specific questions on what you want to know about. They're dungeon crawling RPGs with great art, music, combat, party-building, and labyrinth mapping. They have a unique feature of drawing your own map.

how many rabbit fencers is too much in eo5?
>>586485046They suckNow fuck off
>>586519267More than 2 is probably unnecessary
Hot
>>586456829Very nice
>>586448147Get a bunch of landys and then make them naked. This was the intended way.
>>5865192674
bnnuys should always be liberated, so theoretically they'd be perfect optimal fencers
>>586544490How does that help? Does he get horny and kill himself?
rabbit fencer x2rabbit dragoon x1rabbit houndx1dark elf something
>>586545581Wait, are you playing 2 or 2U? In 2, there's a strategy where you take like four landys and have them equipped with no armor so they can deal massive counter damage to his nukes. You need a protector as well to keep them alive with their force skill but the counter skill reflects like the full amount of damage they took back at the attacker or something. You need some of the force restoration items as well.
>>5865470362hd. I forgot landy had counter and the fact it evidently works when it does no damage is fucking hilarious. If I was gonna cheese I would do revenge cheese im trying to do this fight fair
Raise
>>586546130Based
>>586548564Yeah I was just messing around, it's a ridiculously easy way to beat him but definitely not the most honorable. It's just funny to imagine a bunch of naked landys taking him down. It is kind of a bullshit fight though.
>>586515625
>>586559750How do you get protectors force skill up every turn? 2 counter 2 item spamming? Is begone considered physical if so lmao oh boy get fucked faggot just stall till turn 13 and win
>>586563371The landy just spend their turns feeding the protector axcellas or whatever the item was called again. Their counter skill is a chance-based passive, you just rely on RNG going off but since you have four of them, there's a pretty good chance of it activating at least once on AoEs. You can do absurd amounts of damage and have the fight over in a few turns with good RNG, the landys just need to be leveled enough to max their counter skill and that's it. It's like fighting his bullshit with even greater bullshit.
>>586448147Full bind him with Dark Hunter, then get lucky with those binds sticking long enough to rush him downThat's how I did it
>>586568176I have 2 DH T G H I was doing pretty good if I managed to bind arms before dominate went off to full bind. I now know it was dampen that was getting me butt raped. I retired my party and grinded then back up to 60 today I should be able to get them back to level cap tomorrow to try again and see if I can manage to just get lucky long enough to kill him. If I get too pissed off I'll retire again into landy cheese since that isn't level intensive
>>586568176Also how many turns did it take?
>>586568813It was a while ago so I don't remember exactly how many turns it took, I think 5 or 6?My team was the basic bitch 2 party and had no shortage of damage

>>586609362>>586570931Thinking about it more, I underestimated my turn count. I think it was actually 9.My Ronin was definitely spamming Midareba, and with 21 TP a pop using it 9 times would leave her at 43 like in >>586568176I absolutely did get really lucky with how long the initial full bind lasted, so remembering that I assumed the binds in the first pic were those original ones, but I think my actual strategy involved the WM feeding DH axcelas to fire off a second one.The Gunner used Ricochet 7 times, one of the two unaccounted turns was probably her own force boost, while the other might have been an extra axcela on DH>>586612597Congrats
>>586613602Shit wait, it would have been 10 turns, because the pic was taken after 9 Midarebas
>>586613602Thanks anon. 9 turns is still nuts since he almost full wiped me twice. Bless nectall 2 dumb broken ass item. Now to get the last 2 achievements. Queens quest and... Evidently I never picked up beasts LOL

>>586691553golemasai..
holy ded
>>586629727I’m with you on that too, anon. I vastly prefer being able to actually see what the FOE is. I think it’s led to some great FOE puzzles in the 3DS games too, they can do way more than just move in strict patterns or chase you. A good example is the rhinos and frogs in EO2U stratum 4 needing to be led into pitfalls, or EO1U stratum 5’s ice mantises perching on chop points around the area. There isn’t anything like that in the DS games.
>>586761861The design also easily communicates what the FOE might be able to do: it makes sense that a rhino will charge and a bird can fly over gaps, but on DS games there isn't much to go by and you might forget when revisiting an old floor as they're all orange balls regardless of what they can do.Although it is true that something in the designs is lost. The same happened in great measure to Pokémon.The visuals also peaked in EO5 where all monsters were designed from the ground up as 3D enemies rather than adapting cool 2D sprites. I'm specially fond of the angry ball birbs that could get fucked up by gravity.

Realizing that Nexus lets me use a Farmer to heal my party instead of resting at the inn has been eye-opening. After something happens that uses up everyone's TP, I can just have the Highlander use Force Break in an Eastern Shrine encounter to fully heal her, swap her out for a Farmer, then go gather some stuff and then everyone else is fully healed. I think I could go without sleeping at the inn entirely if I wanted to.
>>586789772>not letting your etriams get their well deserved sleepYou monster
>>586791882You have convinced me. They will sleep every day, as all people should.

>>586789772I don't exactly remember what Highlander Break did. But I do remember that I always felt safe to continue explore if I had it, and if I had to use it, it was time to go back to town, save and rest
>>586813612Ranged Stab damage to all enemies, heals the entire party based on damage dealt from the Force Boost, restores TP to the Highlander based on damage dealt. Since all the restoration is based on damage dealt, using it against significantly weaker enemies basically guarantees that the Highlander will be healed to full, so you can swap it out for a Farmer with Survival Wisdom and Double Crop to heal the rest of the party, as Double Crop activating lets Survival Wisdom's heal trigger again as well.

>>586629727>>586766697The orange fuzzball made it better though. It was the suspense of the unknown. You didn't know what FOE you would be facing until you engaged. You could match patterns, but you still had to engage once if you wanted to know what you're up against.
>>586856530What if they do something like strange journeys scan system and they show up as the balls until you "scan" them. Maybe you have to kill one or get into battle and flee before they show up
>>586861007>a reference to THAT NIS gameBased
>>586856530A monster gacha isn't all that fun. I very much prefer being scared of a rhino charging at me than an orange ball moving two spaces. Chances are a bar patron already told me what it's supposed to be anyway, I just don't get to see it when I avoid it.
>>586066127An update on this. I found the guides I wanted on gamebanana and it isn't terribly complicated.One for dumping the game (half of it was about setting up Ryuujinx).One for patching config.jsonOne for actually exporting and importing textures/sprites.And it isn't working. At first I thought it was because the last step uncompressed the assets file, but I happened to have the liberated mod archived and this seems to be normal (I'll mirror it tomorrow >>586659954 >>586653667 ).So I guess the problem is with config.json, either because the patcher doesn't work with Switch, or because it doesn't with the Chinese version I'm using. Guess looking that up is my homework now. I would love to have an unpatched version of the American file, in case I can learn something from comparing stuff.
>>586861940I never played those games but I guess that could be interesting. Although it might not fit EO that much because the game incites you to map and label things yourself. So instead of forgetting like >>586766697 you're supposed to label them.>>586871925Don't have a clear memory on it anymore but I think the bar patrons being so chatty on the encounters was something more of the later games? The models do make the labyrinth more fun to look at but I can't help but feel something iconic was lost.
>>586880216Strange Journey is made in the EO engine and has mini FOEs that work less as roadblocks and more of optional mini bosses. As I said the first time you fight them they are "invisible" so you don't know what your fighting yet If you like dungeon crawlers (your here so I assume you do) I would suggest checking SJ for the ds our

>>587144698I'm playing Blood Omen just now and I like the way vampires can just summon the blood out of people in a high pressure stream from like 20 feet awayI feel like if you tried to actually suck the blood out of somebody the old fashioned way it'd make loud raspberry noises and you'd look really sillyI also thought the straw thing when I was a kid
>>587144698>he didn't know about the scrape and lick
sad
I may suck at it but finally making and using modified portraits is so satisfying.
>>587157131so sad
>even the hottest of takes couldn't save us from Fang Shogun's KAISHAKUOwari da
>>587197568I'm running a Zodiac/Shogun in Nexus and am very tempted to put points into Kaishaku.
>>587199621That's a good main/sub combo for multi-strike ether stars and meteors along with peerless blade or whatever it was called. But yeah, go for kaishaku just so you can insta-kill with a staff. It's funnier in 3 with books.
>>587207667Boosting Multi-Strike Ether Meteor's was the big plan, yeah. >It's funnier in 3 with books.If only we still had those in Nexus.
Kaishaku.
Murder bunny in EOV was fun, way more fun than Ronin stances.
>>587199621Do it
>>587242079I'll do it eventually. The main problem is that getting to Kaishaku takes a lot more points than it did in 3. You need 9 SP just to unlock it, and that's a lot when I'm trying to do Multi-Strike Ether/Meteor/Peerless Demon stuff.
>make Ricky swing on the vines>feel that an Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl: Retold would be another fucking father/daughter slop game that will have subclassingi gatta stop playing while high
>>587247320Sorry, I am exploring Etria's Yggdrasil with my dancer friend. No rest allowed here.
>>587251264>dancerTroubador.
>>587144698>i just found out that pointed vampire fangs are not little strawsI reject thisthey will always be little straws to me
Is there any meaning in this etriamless world?
>>587207667Cute library girl
>Wildling's JP class name is Beast KingSick. Also I just realized this image is nearly a year old at this point.
>>587302596Needs liberation
>>587302596And Hexer is Cursemaker, Arcanist is Mystic, Survivalist is Ranger, and so on. The localization changes a lot of class names for no reason. Beast King is probably one of the more understandable ones though since "king" doesn't make as much sense with female portraits.
>>587311750Can hardly even tell that this was drawn by Mimonel
>>587314418Mimonel should draw some more etriam with his current artstyle.Imagine the sexo if he drew Therians

>>585032962>Beginner's Guide to the Series:I haven't played Etrian Odyssey, is the beginners guide still up to date? Which one should I start with?
>>587480720>is the beginners guide still up to date?Pretty much, I can't remember if it was pre or post the HD releases but it shouldnt matter much>Which one should I start with?I'd suggest 3 or 4, though it does mean it might feel a little clunky if you go back to 1 and 2. 3 is a bit harder but not excessively so5 is also great but probably better as a follow up to one of 3 or 4
>>587483626Thank you! I might try 3 in that case. Is there a preferred difficulty for a newbie?
>>587484025Not them, but while some might say to go with the hardest as it was apparently the default in the originals, the medium difficulty in the HD versions should feel just fine for someone just walking in. The easiest, though, is genuinely too easy. It's good to swap to for mindless grinding, though.
>>587484603Is it possible to swap at any time? I might try normal or hard. I learnt the hard (heh) way that easy is usually too easy in most games I've played.
>>587484952Yeah, you can swap freely between difficulties in town.
>>587485185Thank you.
>>587484025I'd suggest going on hard as its the "official" difficulty and you might as well get a feel for how it is in the series as a whole. The early levels can feel a little like rocket tag with your team being squishy but it evens out soon enough
>>587485359you're welcome
>>587516170>armorNot optimal
>>587516261She's a Chain Fencer, so it's entirely optimal actually
I don't know if I deserved to win, but I sure will be remembering this for a long time.
>>587528659UNEVEN EXPBUT YOU JUST UNLOCKED SUBCLASSING I THINKYOU CAN FIX YOURSELF WHILE something something
>>587530151She survived on her own, she deserves to be exactly one level ahead.
