Etrian Odyssey General Thread:
Ya'll got that EOV hype?
>>342284806
Yes.
Untold ruined everything.
>>342284656
Isn't there a general on /vg/?
>>342284806
Of course, but then my localization fears kick in.
You and me both know they will utterly butcher the MASSIVE voice selection for all characters.
>>342285263
yes, but no one posts there
>>342284806
Yeah, boy
>>342285263
There are also generals for overwatch and tons of other games that people still make threads for on /v/.
>>342284656
>general thread
>>>/vg/
I mean, I love the series, but don't start a thread on /v/ with a title like this, it only attracts mods and shitposting.
>>342284806
Very much so, yes. I hope Atlus USA doesn't drag their feet with bringing this over.
>>342287569
I really don't have any expectations. It took them almost a year to localize EOU2, they didn't include dual audio or a nice bonus, and they still charged us the atlus tax.
I'm only here for the lolis
Post more Etrian lolis plz
There really isn't much to talk about until we get some news about to a localization.
>playing EOU
>fucking grimoire system
Am I the only one who hates this fucking shit?
Also, does anyone know if Curse Mastery has synergy with Dark Hunter skills, or am I wasting my time?
Post and rate teams.
Big titties are the best
>>342291319
I dont even know what classes are in the game. Whats been confirmed so far?
>>342291319
In all the games that have lands linker, I've used them because they are so adorable, the playstyle is OK, but I've grown a bit bored.

>>342291319
Still in the middle of planing things out. I don't know if I want a reaper or a cestus. I also might use the dummy bunny if I end up not liking the fencer.

>>342289280
Should I go for story mode in eou 2? Millenium girl wasn't bad but I still want to make my own team and at the same time not miss out on the story from story mode.
>>342301071
Well in EOU2 everything that's in story mode is also in classic. You won't miss out on anything.
>>342301071
Story mode is fucking casual ass shit.
Play the real game you faggot.
>>342284656
I love Teach
Here's my favorite EO boy and girl in the same pic. What do you guys think?

i've been able to bring her through every game so far so I'm a little disappointed.
So how is this nothing-but-pandering otaku-bait series better than 7th Dragon?
>>342302528
It absolutely does.
Come back when you feel like playing without training wheels, casualfag.
>>342302859
It's fun.
>>342294372
NO TEACH NO BUY
Seriously though is this the first EO without her clone?
>>342302192
>>342302642
But the masurao is the ronin this time around. Also you got the wrong shogun.
>>342302859
I'm not too familiar with 7th Dragon, do you draw your own maps in that game too?
>>342303413
Nah, you find them in chests and stuff.
>>342303413
No, it's nothing like EO
>>342303074
The 2 and 3 are both right from the game, and the hair color and eye color fit the bill more than the black haired one in my opinion. I run multiple Shogun anyways so it's a moot point anyways.
>>342303074
Why is fang such a weeb?
>>342302859
Cartography
>>342303413
You don't. It's only related because the director for EO also did 7th dragon. The similarities are the character creation and the dragons, which are the game's FOEs. The game itself is more like a standard JRPG like Dragon Quest instead of like EO. Except about 90% of the world is covered in damage tiles that you have to get rid of by killing dragons. I liked it, but it's a tedious game so it's not for everyone. The sequels cut down on the tedium, but the art design changed for the worse in my opinion.
I want to Ronins feet

SHOTANK FOR LIFE.
This looks like some generic ass JRPG nonsense, why should I care about this series?
>>342305008
Fuck off Space Marine.
>>342305008
It's a dungeon crawler (one of the better ones out there nowadays) easily available on DS/3DS.
Am I crazy for wanting a management EO spin-off where you are a guild leader and manage a ton of the adventurers, send them off to missions, gear them appropriately by distributing gold, and gradually unlocking floors?
Since you can indirectly control multiple parties you could have the mystery dungeon thing where some points will be raided and you leave some adventurers defending.
Or you can set grinding cycles like literal bots in MMOs so you can farm materials with a specific grinding party.

Nice design there atlus
>>342311148
Huh? I didn't grind much at all. I was just taking care of sidequests and mapping out everything.
Best design.
>>342311148
>grinding
No it's more about team composition and getting skills that synergize well. Leveling up doesn't affect stats as much as you might think, most of your stats come from equipment. So feel free to grind on trash mobs all you like. It's just gonna take you 3 hours to get a few extra skill points.
I'm a little too casual to play this game in normal mode, but I'm nowhere near retarded enough to play the story mode.
>>342312741
>too casual to play easy mode

Guess your fucked then huh?

Holy shit dat reaper short skirt and shaman thick legs

I guess my dick will choose the guild classes againas always
I didnt follow this game news at all, dont tell me we wont get this game until 2017
>>342313119
That Reaper is a dude.
>>342286204
This is the only thing I'm worried about.
>>342313354
Perfect.
>>342284913
Untold 2 may be my favorite game in the series. Tough call between that and III. Here's hoping V has a bunch of hidden classes.
>>342286204
I'm more interested in the color options than the voice options, honestly.
>>342309783
I know, I wish it could be 100% of the art too. The struggle is real, my brother.
>>342313354
Just give him a girl voice, he can easily pass as one.
>>342313354
I dont believe you
I wasnt sure about hebra list but no way the reaper is a dude
hell even the necromancer has more chance being a man than the reaper
>>342314826
Either that's a dude or this is, which one do you wanna bet on?
>>342314826
That herbalist is female, this is what the male one looks like.
I adore the artstyle so much
Is there a complete monster gallery somewhere?
Preferably with empty or white backgrounds
>>342315231
You can find the official art books pretty easily on doujin sites. I know Exhentai has them.
>>342314826
You can see Necromancer's chest.
>>342315614
Yes, I've looked at them
>>342313354
You guys are such faggots, the topless necromancer is a loli.
All 4 portrait have been revealed here, 2 male, 2 female.
>>342302437
It's a loli.
http://edit.s2.xrea.com/sq5/
So if it's confirmed we're getting 10 classes, then what are the other 4 that are on this website?
>>342316382
>this site
GOD BLESS YOU
>>342316087
>>342291319
The one I pick from the outlined trio will depend on what the full skillsets of the classes will be.
I'd like to go hound, but it depends on the potency of it and the Cestus's bind and non-bind setups. If the Cestus is a better binder/it's non-bind route is trash, then I'll go for the Shaman.
But if the Shaman overlaps too much with the Herbalist in terms of support (i.e., the Herbalist turns out to have buffs of its own), or if my party is lacking elemental damage, then it'll be the Warlock instead.
I'm also debating swapping out the Necromancer for a Reaper.
>>342316770
Actually, come to think of it, if I opt for Hound there will be horrible competition for the summon slots between the Wolf/Falcon, the Pillbox and the Ghosts.
Maybe I'll swap the Necromancer for a Reaper. Or just drop the Hound.

She doesn't look all that loli to me. Flat=/=loli. Plus there's a loli race already.
So did the artist from this game do erotic art before doing video games? Seems like they really like provocative lolis.
I'm just about done with EO4, what's the next game I should pickup?
I never beat 1 or 2 but got about halfway through both.
>>342318875
idk about that but you can find porn by him of the pink haired troub from the first game if you look hard enough
>>342318875
Yes.
>>342318694
>She doesn't look all that loli to me
Then you must be blind because that's definitely a little girl. There are two female options and two male options and that's one of the female. Her nipples are covered, if it were a boy there would be no need.
>>342318956

>>342315012
t-two female portrait this time maybe?
I refuse to believe she is actually a he, I cant believe the most attractive looking design is a male. fuck this artist
at least in iv it was obvious that one was just a girly looking dude
I need to see the male and female portrait for all classes now, just in case
>>342318875
That's fanart bro, all the official art is DFC
>>342316382
You mean the 4 on top?
Those are the generic race portraits.
>>342319169
Yes, 2 male and female portraits per class.
>>342316382
Check this website.
>>342319169
You can customize voices, no reason you couldn't give him a female voice and make it real in your head cannon.
>>342284656
I dont understand this game. Players created parties are fucking boring. I'd rather have premades for every class with set personality than making my own.
>>342284913
I'm playing Untold 2 right now and for me...
U2 = 3 > 4 = U1 > 2 > 1

Is 3 work going back to? Any word on an Untold version of 3 with cleaned up visuals?
>>342310358
I gave up on expert difficulty at the boss of the 4th stratum. Goddamn, that was just too much for me.
>>342319438

is it possible to kill one of the elks in the first area?
>>342321545
Yeah, go back after gaining another 10 levels
>>342302895
Classic mode's easier because you can build your team from the ground up. Story mode restricts your classes due to the character's stats not adjusting with the class switch. Story mode depends on using the main character for damage, but he doesn't even gain access to his essential damage dealing skill until the 3rd stratum because of plot reasons.
Untold 1's story mode was pretty easy though
>>342321707

Why is your mage Muramasa named after a famous japanese blacksmith?
IV is my first EO game and I've dropped this game like 3 times already. I'm gonna pick it up one more time and give it another go. Wish me luck. Maybe I won't use the rogue guy this time since the class seemed useless last time I played.

>>342322015
4 is one of the worst places to start in the series imo. The overworld and multiple dungeons just complicate things and diminish the simple, satisfying sense of progression that comes from one huge dungeon.
>>342322015

I'm playing Untold 2 right now, it's inferior to the original but it doesn't matter. Everything from Untold is staying in Untold.
>>342323484
It's just a simple dungeon crawling game. You make a team of 5 characters, and they all have pretty deep skill trees where 1 class can play completely different depending on how you build them. The only notable feature is the map drawing, you draw your own maps on the touch screen. That's about it really. All the 3DS games have demos on the eshop
>>342323484
You draw your own maps in tough as nails laberinths. Very little story, mostly D&D storytelling and head cannon.
It's also got cute girls
>>342321545
>>342321968
Don't fight them right away. Avoid them until you're done with the next couple floors, usually you'll be able to return and put up a decent fight.
Played all of them, finished none. I am ashamed.

It probably won't be that long. It comes out in Japan in 2 months, so I'm expecting it here in about a year or so.
>>342326689
It is from Heart of Crown PC [coming soon (tm)]
There are like 3 girls from this artist in this game (I think).

>>342322202
Which one should I get to start off EO then?
Would you guys like it if these games were more transparent about the stats? Like showing the damage modifier for Raging Edge instead of just telling the player "NEXT:Attack^" or what are your chances of binding the enemy's leg with Immobile level 5 (not accounting the enemies' resistance or weakness to leg binds) or how much protection Guard Order gives you.
>>342284806
The classes seem fun, though not quite as fun as 3's
>>342331305
Start with Untold games on Expert, and then when you're finished with those two, depending on if EOV is out yet, move onto it or 3.

By stuck I mean every time I replay the game it's always around there where I just give up, I played 3 and 4 enough to reach the true final boss (and fail to beat them because I'm a scrub and don't want to change my party into a cheesefest)

Welcome to dungeon crawlers. You literally have to do this in every one I've ever played. No unique or unusual parties allowed.

Can someone sell me on this game? I'm forced to choose between Zero Escape 1, Rune Factory 4, or Shin Megami Tensei. Never played any of these games before including EO.
Does EO4 rely on great gameplay (i.e. interesting/fun JRPG combat akin to Bravely Default) or does it rely on standard gameplay with good metagame (i.e. typical/boring JRPG combat but everything else in addition makes it overall great)? How does it stack up against FF7 or BD? Should I opt for a different entry in the EO franchise as a first-timer?

EO4 has a demo on the eshop that let's you carry your save over to the full game. Download it and try it for yourself.

Why are you forced to choose? I recommend Zero Escape first because 3 is coming out soon and its not that long.

It's even more of a classic JRPG in terms of combat mechanics than BD, and isn't really innovative. But the main attraction is dungeon crawling. You have to explore a huge labyrinth in first person AND draw a map of it in the process to not get lost/fucked by the roaming boss enemies/traps etc. All dungeon floors are big handcrafted labyrinths, as opposed to rather linear dungeons in Default.
Also EO contains approximately 97% less story. If that's a factor for you.
