Awesome, an EO4 thread.
So I just got to the third land, should I keep farming the shit out of Omnihunters and Dreamcatchers?
Also my team is
>Lands, Fort, Dance
>Night, Rune
How could I modify this? I was thinking maybe making my Night subclass as Snipe, that way he could equip bows and attack without losing damage, or maybe as a Dance so to get Sambas or Tangos.
Also, who should I sub as a Medic? Fort or Rune seems like a good idea, Fort since mace skills and high health, but Runs since she's usually last to die but Origin Runs eats TP. I was also thinking of subing Rune as an Arcanist, or Retiring and subing Wufan or another Arcanist as a Rune. It's really all about Dismiss Heal and whatever else non-status they have vs Origin Rune/whatever element rune.
Finally, who do Dancers sub well as, and should Lands be subbed as Bushi or Imperial?

>>332994706
iirc nights do really well on the front line, and some dancer skills are bugged when used on a night (they conflict rather than stack or something) so I'd recommend not using either of those subs
>>332994914
Oddly similar to what I just thought to post, from one of the most criminally underrated jRPG's ever.

I just finished these two so I'll go with these.
>>332995035
I know Nights do well out front because they get a basic boost from attack afflicted enemies, because melee suffers when it come out of the back line. If a night used a bow, the ranged attack would do full damage, and a few sniper skills benefit on a night.
>>332995357
Man, that DW1/2 pack on the GBC really spiced the music up, goddam.
>>332995035
The Dancer's Fan Dance, which I believe only raises evasion, is bugged along with Speed Boost.
No matter the configuration, or how you subclass, if you have both skills active, they'll outright just cancel each other out.
Even if you have a Dancer subbed as a NS to get more potential points for Speed Boost, you should always go for just Fan Dance. The pure evasion boost is way, way higher and much more worth it.
>>332994706
Ditch the medic, grab yourself an Arcanist with Medic sub. Passive full-party healing + binds (don't bother with status circles since your night can handle that) + the only thing a medic is good for, which is revive and the rarely used debuff cancel.
Once I got that I never looked back. Full medic just feels like a waste now, so many turns and TP spent doing nothing.
Estelle disagrees.

Night/Arcanist
The poison endgame attack from Night is a definite most efficient mob killer.
Also get yourself a dedicated healer, like Arcanist/Medic or Medic/whatever. People shit on medic because they're outclassed by Arcanist, but sometime you don't want stick people in your group
>>332995118
>Not knowing Motoi Sakuraba's beats by heart
Nigga pls
>>332995824
I don't have a medic anon.
Who do I ditch?
Also, to the general thread I have a question I just remembered.
When a Dancer skill says "used during Samba", if I use a Waltz, then a Samba, am I currently doing a Samba? Or am I doing both a Waltz and a Samba? Furthermore, why do skills say they last after an effect ends? I lose Regen Waltz's effect after the counter goes away.

OP Here, I just got to the second labyrinth. It's true that this game isn't as good as 3, but I'm still liking it a lot. I feel like I'm not getting enough mileage out of my dancer though; Land/Night/Dancer
Medic/Rune
I put her in the front lines and while she's alright, I feel like a second Nightseeker may have been better.
>>332992685

Are you using standard "power of friendship" link team? Dancer is a better "linker" to get multiple link procs in than Night
>>332996838
I went with classic JRPG cheese party of
Land/Fort
Sniper/Medic/Rune
I needed just a bit more dps but it carried me through the main story fine. I want to play through using the unlockable classes but by the time I get to those points I'm too attached to my characters.

>2 defensive classes
Sorry to break it to you anon, but you NEED more firepower. In EO the name of the game is nuke or get nuked. For example the final boss has an instadeath counter, and if you're not dealing enough damage you're a kill. Same with the postgame bosses. There's nothing wrong with having a team rotation, like for example have a "balanced" team for dungeon crawling and hyper offense team for boss killing

This is the first game in the series I played, and my team is Lands, Dancer, Fort, and for the back line it's a Medic and Archer.
I haven't unlocked sub-classes yet, but I do pretty well with that team.
>>332992685
>>332994370
>Get super sad when the music changes.
>Then realize it got better.
>>333003831
My old team was Land, Dark Hunter, Fort, Medic and Runemaster, but I was worried about endgame.
Also subclasses.
>>333003752
Anything specific?
>>333004023
That can certainly work, and I actually had a fairly similar party layout for a while. My exact thing for the early game was:
Fort/Land
Archer/Rune/Medic
This worked decently until the end of the second land, where I replaced my medic with an arcanist. You can wait a bit longer for subclasses and more efficiency, but I made it along just fine.
When I got to the end of the third land, I swapped the archer (who had been running binds) for a Night, and that was a pretty good idea. Random battles became "spread and poison throw" and only got easier with time. When I unlocked Imperial, I retired my Land to become one, and she became a boss/FOE destroyer.
Subclass options: Dancer for Fort, absolutely. There's a lot of utility they bring with their dances, and not much else they'll do between turns. Before I got Bushi, I left my Land un-subbed, but if you're good at killing rare Dream Eaters, you can just as easily re-grind when you want to do that. Archer was Arcanist subbed for the short time before I made her a Night, I think. Can't quite recall. Rune was Imperial as soon as I got it and didn't need a subclass before that because she was just so valuable on her own. And Arcanist/Medic is obvious.
Of course, this is just one team. Dancers as a main class are perfectly viable, as are link Landsknechts. Comes down to preference.
Remember: (nearly) any party is viable.
Man sure brings back memories

>>333004023
>I was worried about endgame
See rotation. Like for some bosses, you desparately need a Head/Body/Leg binder to prevent some crazy nuke being unleashed against you. However, having debuff focused Arcanist or Sniper ain't worth it for dungeon crawling.
There's nothing wrong with party rotation. You can always respec and it encorages you to mess around and experiment with party synergy beyond using a cookie cutter Link spam team - the way the game supposed to be played.
>>333004905
>having debuff focused Arcanist ain't worth it for dungeon crawling
It's fine, though. When you get an Arcanist going, they can recoup nearly all their TP used when bindingor get more if they miss one and get it on a second turn
Snipers? Yeah, I'd agree. Arcanists are so nice though.
>>333005080
You'd want a healer arcanist first, debuff/bind later is what I'm saying. You don't want to sink too many points into debuff skills.
>>333005080
Doesn't really matter how you spec them. Arcanists are incredibly efficient regardless. The best thing is that you aren't even spreading yourself thin when you spec for heals and either ailment/binds.
>>333005278
Oh yeah, in that case, absolutely.
The minimal points required to unlock each bind was enough for pretty much the entire game when I played through my first time. Helped I had a good Fort though.
>>332994370

My absolute favorite. Still can't believe this music is from fucking '92 considering what other games sounded like at the time.
So i just beat midboss in land 3 in EOIV to unlock subclassing, and my party is
Land/Fort/Dancer
Sniper/Runemaster
all around 33 i think. I plan on retiring at 40 since i didn't retire at 30.
Land focuses on links, fort on d, dancer i dunno what to focus on, used to be heals/ailment heals but now its swords dance and tp lowerer, i need to reset her skills soon, sniper is binds/squall volley, and rune damage. My question is what subs should i go for, what to focus my skill points on for dancer?
free energy 5>free energy 6 for everyone who doesn't know, and speed boost/evasion boost cant be mixed
>>333005389
I feel they're gonna go all out with EOV.
>>333002318
She's one of the EO4 mascots, a Landsknecht, but most people ended up preferring the other Landsknecht girl.
>>333006024
40 is too early to retire. You're not gonna get much benefit out of it. Linkshark can be good combined with runes from your Runemaster. Fort/Dance for evasion tanking,
Not sure for Sniper and Dancer, since I dropped both of them.
>>333003579

Hey do you mind if I >>333000000
>>333006719
Land/Rune and Fort/Dancer are fine. Medic sub is fine too, since you haven't unlockedImperialsyet. You'd want to change your Rune's sub to that once you do. Honestly, if you're willing to grind up again, you can reset and experiment with other configs.
My links setup was just with Rune and Nightseeker. Rune for elemental rune buffs/debuffs. Nightseeker for Swift Edge and Follow Trace procs. Double Swift Edge alone gets me like 6 link procs.
>>333006914
>EO:IV was the only EO game I played so I don't have much to compare it to.
In previous EO games strata were all five floors (or four floors in EO3), and they had secret areas you came back to instead of just making all of the secret areas an extension of a one-floor fifth stratum.
This was basically in exchange for caves and the cool overworld. I think it was fine as a one-off thing but I want long dungeons in EO5.
>>333007618
Might as well experiment with what i have right now and wait till unlock 2nd unlockable class then
Also my improved link is maxed but s volley only gets like two procs when i hit way more, anyone know why?
