I'll give one pity bump, you guys are on your own after this.
What's your favorite EO5 class in terms of what we know about skills so far?
>>145223467
WHen it comes to skills, probably cestus.
But by god, they have awful portraits.
>>145223690
The only one I have any issue with is the girl with purple hair. She rubs me the wrong way for some reason. The rest are fine.

>>145221889
I recently started playing EOIV, my first Etrian, since it got a nice price reduction.
Struggling a bit in the 2nd Strata. It seems there are some random encounters which either end in one turn, or go horribly south for me, with enemies sleeping/paralysing my entire party then doing absurd physical damage. It feels basically entirely luck based.
Does anybody have any general tips? Party comp is NS, F, L in front, RM, M in the back.
>>145260872
Don't go at night.
>>145266596
I've paid little attention to the day/night cycle so far, other than for one quest. Thanks for the hint, I'll try to avoid nocturnal explorations until I'm a bit more confident.
>>145272441

But it's not. I think EO5's portraits are shit, too.
>>145283160
Bunny Black.
I don't think that EO5 has shit portraits.
Just that every other game in the series has a better set.
>>145284370
Except for EO4. I had a lot of trouble to get a team because all the portraits were boring or outright bad looking. I even had to pick males because of that (no, scruffy wasn't one of them).
>>145284631
EO4 was still leagues better.
>>145284370
3>5>1&2>4
3 has the most consistently good portraits, 5 has the most portraits that I consider outstandingly good, but with a mix of mediocre ones. 1&2 have more plain portraits, but still kinda charming. 4's portraits are mostly just mediocre.
>>145284874
The only good portraits from 4 are Bandanna, Scruffy, Brown Fortress, The Black and Blonde Imperials, and a couple of the Arcanists. The rest are okay at best and boring at worst. The only portrait worse than Shota Monk is the Brown Landsknecht.
>>145285478
>The only portrait worse than Shota Monk is the Brown Landsknecht
Thanks for confirming your shit taste
>>145284874
Not really. I can already plan at least 3 different teams for EO5.
>>145285740
Lucky you
>>145285657
No, I meant the Brown-haired one. My mistake. Trap Shark's alright.
>>145286002
Oh right, the token self-insert boring swordman that we get in every game.
>>145286002
It's a boring portrait, but it's not a bad portrait. The other LS portraits show more character.
Whereas purple hair custusin my opinionis an ugly portraitand so is dreads cestus
>>145286170
He's honestly the only "token self-insert" I'd call boring. The Gladiators and original Landsknechts were cool.
>>145286258
Male Purple Hair or Female Purple Hair? You'd be right about Female, but I'll fight you over Male.
>>145286669
Both male cestuses are good portraits.
Both female necromancers are good portraits
Both male necromancers are bad portraits with little to distinguish between them.
Both female Hounds are good portraits
Both male Hounds are alright portraits, but are identical.
And so on...
>>145286835
>Both male necromancers are bad portraits with little to distinguish between them.
*tip*
>>145287029
The only difference is their skin colour (which can be edited, so it's pretty much a moot point), eye shape and hair style, and their hairstyles are more or less identical.
Female necromancers are hugely different, perhaps the most different two same sex class portraits ever have been in the series.
>>145286835
How can you hate buff, blueberry Griffith?
But you're right to complain about them being headswaps. That's the only real issue I have with EO5 so far.

What's the best way to late game grind in the original etrian odyssey? I've beat primevil before but I just wanted to try out a new party. I've heard about the treefrogs for grinding but it's taking a long time, any better late game stratigies?

>and people barely talk about the town music in EO
It's the one theme you will be hearing the most out of any of them, and outside of EO1 they'll never change so I'd be pretty sick of them by the end.
>>145313050
actually I learned to like that I posted just recently. I never spent that much time in the deep city to hear the whole thing so while I was listening to the OST, the last bits caught me by surprise.
You got a point but Armoroad's songs really get me tingly, even though I didn't like EO4's at all (EO1 I only like the night/bar/shop theme)
Do you guys pick 5 characters and stick with them the entire time, or do you have multiple squads?
>>145315173
Five and stay,
>>145315173
Main squad, gathering team, a couple of extras for niche situations like conditional hunting.
>>145315173
It wasn't until III and IV that I started seriously experimenting with party setups and benching powerful teammates for other classes that interested me.
Other than those two games, I stick with my main party and a few situational members.
>>145315173
5 characters for the main game
Swap out some for postgame maybe
And a gathering team if the game needs it.
>>145315173
I made five characters, then was dissatisfied with two of them and switched them out. Then I still made at least six more characters for the hell of it, even though I don't use them. And that's before I even unlocked subclassing. It's fun I guess.
>>145317607
>gathering team
Is this really viable?
>>145318607
Their are a number of classes with skills that do shit like reduce encounter rates, avoid back attacks and retreat completely from battle. Max out those and the gathering skills and you're set for life. It's not something you'd do at the beginning of the game though, the crap you gather that early isn't profitable enough to merit the trouble of building up skill points that early.
>>145319075
But if it only costs one skill point for gathering/mixing or tame ground, why not just let my main party do it all?
>>145319618
>But if it only costs one skill point for gathering
Because that's not how EO1-3 work.
>>145319998
Ooooh. I'm playing IV. I should have specified. I guess I'm lucky.and I guess I see yet again why IV is easy
>>145315173
5 main and 5 farmers. They only end up getting swapped out if I really want to use something that gets unlocked later.
>>145320525
I'm hoping EOV goes back to the 1-3 farming method. Those generic portraits look perfect for the job.
>>145321571
If they do, i really hope they have a Combat Study type of skill.
>>145321571
>I'm hoping EOV goes back to the 1-3 farming method.
it's confirmed they didn't and thank god for that
>>145322976
>it's confirmed they didn't
Where? Also, fuck you.
>>145323096
race skills are one point each
>it's older so it's better!
>>145325128
I enjoy the idea of a specialized team sneaking though the dungeon, filling their pack to the brim with gathered items, and managing the guild's resources and money. It gave me a better feeling of a "guild" rather than just having one team of 5 to handle everything. How about you give an actual reason for preferring the IV style.
>>145325750
it was his first
>>145325750
There's nothing stopping you from stacking a bunch of the same gather type to max out your yields for that type. You might need 15 different characters if you want to do that for all 3 resources. I have yet to bother with such madness, though.
>>145326874
>all 3 resources
Isn't it 4 resources in EOV now?
>>145327301
I haven't kept up with the gathering info for V aside from it being Race skills. Gathering fish was present in prior games, though in III it was for money and IV it was another type of food item. I wouldn't be surprised if cooking came back in some form, I actually liked EOU2's restaurant management simulation.
>>145327710
III didn't link fishing to any skill, though, and the IV fish weren't treated the same as gathered items. V is making it look like an addition to the usual Take Mine Chop trio.
I liked the U2 restaurant too, though the city development was a stretch. IV cooking was alright too.
>>145327710
I don't. Upgrading high lagaard is a chore
>>145328643
I getting to see the city, but leaving the upgrades in the hands of a bunch of no-named adventurers was stupid.
>>145326770
1 was my first
>>145329087
Just like getting a mansion stocked with a qt maid for no reason, and all you can do there is drink tea
>>145315173
You're haven't truly achieved "git gud" status unless you've juggled 15 characters in one playthrough and use them all evenly.
>>145332524
That's not gitting gud, that's just autism. Plus I know we have people here who swear by making two characters from every class.
>>145332667
>not utilizing every class
Using two of every class is autism though.Except in EOV because of masteries.
>>145325750
Why would you need special skills just to pluck some flowers?
>>145332826
Why level an additional 10 characters (possibly 12) when resting only costs 2 levels?
>>145333529
>rest
What if you needed both builds in a party like with 2 Hounds or something.
>>145333712
Why would you need 2 Hounds? You're already able to summon the Falcon and the Hound at the same time. If you need an extra healer, just bring an Herbalist. If you need an extra attacker, just bring a Masurao or Warlock. If you need binds, just bring a Cestus. There's enough overlap between each class's roles that doubling up on each class is just a waste of time. In the time it took to level up your duplicates, you could have just raised your main 10 members up a couple levels.
>>145334563
We haven't even seen all the skills yet, we don't know either way if there are any interesting combos involving multiple of the same class.
>>145334686
I get it if you want to have a couple duplicates, but you don't need to have every single class setup available on your first playthrough. That seems so tedious. It makes more sense to focus on 1-3 setups and save anything else that interests you for your second playthrough.
>>145335114
>That seems so tedious.
No shit, anon. That's why we called it autism in the first place.
I wish there was an option to do sea quests without the guest members.

So which class is best for refresh/unbind/resurrect? My Monk is too busy on heals andputting points into the ninja evade skill and bunshin.Also punching.
>>145386263
Whichever one can use items.
How do you guys put up playing this game? I tried playing the 4th game, which people say beginner friendly. I enjoyed it in the first place. But now i'm at the 3rd labyrinth and i don't feel like to play it anymore. I even used save editor (only for exp editing) so i don't get bored grinding when i want to try different teams. But in the end it's still hard to continue the game.
>>145388357
That's because EO4 is a shit game.
>>145388357
i like making maps
>>145386263
If you have a princess main or sub on someone then you can make do with prevent order and thericas, although it doesn't stop binds. If you have a M/N with bunshin then having another monk character is probably overkill when you already get a clone, you can get refresh/unbind later if you're dumping points elsewhereI'd honestly take izuna over breakfire if you really want them to both attack and support
>>145388357

Then talk about something instead of replying with memes.
In EO4, what's the minimum level recommended for retiring?
Also, what's the best way to retire your party? Retire all of them at once or one by one?
>Theriaca A heals Binds
>Theriaca B heals Ailments
>>145392992
Retire whenever you're given training scrolls so you don't have to grind for so long after retiring. You don't get retire bonuses until Level 30.
>>145393352
To be fair, they were originally alpha and beta, not A and B.
>>145392992
The minimum level you CAN retire at is 30, and if your level is under 60 you'll drop by up to half your level, otherwise you go down to 30. The best retire bonuses are at 99, and you only get an extra skill point for each 10 level increment up to level 70(with levels 71-98 giving the same amount of skill points). You get scrolls to level up to two people back up to a specific level, so use those when you're at the closest level increment to those rounded up(i.e. 30 for the level 25 scrolls, 40 for the level 35 ones, and 50 for the level 45 ones). Alternatively, save the level 45 scrolls for late/postgame retirements at level 70 or 99 to reduce the amount of catch up grinding you need by 15 levels.
>>145393352
>retire before level 99
>>145393352
>>145394197
Yeah, I know the minimum level required for retiring is 30. But what's the recommended minimum level for retiring? Like in pokemon, don't evolve till level xx to get xxx move. Or is there not exist that kind of system in EO4?
>>145395070
This right here >>145394771
There is no reason to retire at an earlier level, as the grinding isn't worth the extra points.
>>145394771
Why not?
>>145395248
Additionally, you don't even need to retire in EO4 due to how easy the game is.
>>145395248
It's definitely worth it in EO4, since retiring early and using a scroll to get back to the level you were at means extra points with no grinding whatsoever, whereas you would have to grind if you retired late for bonuses. In the other games, there's really no point in ever retiring because it's such a pain to level back to where you were and you don't need the extra stats and points anyway.
>>145395396

You just can't accept the truth.

you bring it up any every possible chance context be damned. meme.

Well if you want to play on easy mode, that's on you. Though to be fair, retiring is never necessary in ANY game, unless you're trying to pull quick kill strats on postgame bosses, in which case the more stats/skill points the better.

>(you)
No sorry anon, I'm not the same anon.
Sorry for you that more than one person share the same opinion.
>>145395253
Why yes?

You get two scrolls but have five party members
>>145398775
You get a total of six scrolls. That even leaves one for you to swap a party member out for an arcanist or imperial and still retire everyone.
>>145398631
Because EO4's scrolls mean you can get retire bonuses over the course of the game and only be set back 5 levels, so you might as well do it just for the sake of having more skill points to play with.
>>145398775
Can't you just grind the level back with overworld FOEs?
>>145399372
The point is that "you don't need to grind because scrolls" is pointless when you DO need to grind anyways.
But well, you can just not retire everyone at the same time >>145398932and get uneven exp and SP
>>145399710
The point is that grinding 5 levels is better than grinding 15. And even then, you don't need to grind. Since lower leveled units level up faster, you'll eventually only be a couple levels behind.
Untold 3 when?

Never.
