Any word on pre-order items? The artbook you got for 3 is one of the nicest ones I ever got that wasn't a retail product. I'm super excited for this. I need something to play before we get SMT 4.

The White Dragon posted:Shoot, is there really a demand for a western, possibly cartoony, gameplay-transparent FP dungeon crawl? I thought I was among a very small demographic. I could see one selling well on steam. I for one would love a new, super polished wizardry knock-off in the vein of grimrock. [e]I think I might use casual mode since doesn't seem to do more than letting you keep your levels when you die.

Speaking of anime wizardry knock-offs, what ever happened to class of heroes 2? It was supposed to come out in this fall but I haven't seen any news on it for months.

I wish it included auto-map too. I don't have a problem filling out the map in the beginning of the game, but as I get farther I get sick of it and just do the bare minimum. [e] Anyone have a write up on the classes? it's never to early to start  on party formations.

Does 4 have those ship missions with the pre-made party? those were good for getting a low level dude some levels. [e] And how are the limits? I like that they were easier to get in 3 but they never got as broken as the ones in 2.

So should I hold of pre-ordering until amazon posts the LE or is it one of those things where every first print is the special one? I really want an artbook since the one you got for EO 3 is one of the nicest free ones I got.

cheetah7071 posted:Speaking of money, as a first-time player (a few hours into EO3, on the third floor of the first area) I'm surprised how much everything costs. I don't seem to get money from anything besides selling vendor trash, which on a typical dungeon run will cover a stay at the inn and then maybe half of a good piece of equipment (which currently cost 200+ en; I'm ending dungeon runs with 100 en or so net). Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? It's normal. Once you can get the conditional drops off of bosses you don't have to worry about money. If you absolutely need money you can always create a new party and sell their default equipment and delete them.

Etrian Odyssey IV demo hits the eShop on February 7!

Wow, I'm already finding a lot of the mechanical changes great. The skill menu is nice and neat now and clearly shows the investment you need to get certain skills. I'm also really glad they took out the whole needing points to harvest beacuse that totally wasn't fun. I love how you can actually see enemies resistances in battle so you don't have to remember every enemies weakness. [e] Where are these guys that I need to deliver food to? There's nothing east to the dungeon they are supposed to be near. DrManiac fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Feb 8, 2013 |

ChibiSoma posted:Does EO4 have NG+? I would assume so, since 3 did, but I don't think I've seen anything one way or the other so far. I managed to take out the baboon and bear FOE by blinding them with my night seekers and binding their arms with my sniper. I also used taunt with my fortress and just had him guard every turn. I think they are also weak to all the elements, so you should be pelting them with spells if you can

Depends on if you plan on ever playing them again. Each EO game improves on the mechanics a lot so it might be really hard to go back. That said, the amount of new content from 2-3 is significantly greater than from 1-2.

toxicsunset posted:The bare-bones, weird looking UI and lack of character models and/or animations of just about any kind are definitely indicative of production quality. They make the game feel cheap and lazily made, to me Do you like, not get that first person dungeon crawlers are totally a genre and not having character models aren't an indicator of production values? EO 4 actually has really good production value for this kind of game imo.

Aerofallosov posted:You know, I tried EO I before and it didn't click with me. I grabbed the demo of this and I really like it. I even don't mind making my own map anymore. It's sort of soothing between battles. Now, the eternal dilemma between physical and eshop... Every EO game improves on the last one a lot, so I'm not surprised you would be able to get into 4 after not liking 1. And since you automatically get 3 of each gather type without investing any points you shouldn't have to make another party.

Not too bad for my first time playing an EO game I think! I don't think you're done yet. The level cap is 10 and you still haven't killed a bear yet

Just to add to the above, poison loving sucks in this game. I always loved how it killed everything in a few turns in the last EO games, you know? like a real poison. [e] Where is this mist monster? I can't find it on the first floor of the misty ravine at 7 am. Is it in a specific spot? I have a poison sword and have been poisoned and it only did like, ~25 in the first area. Maybe it's a percentage though. VVVVV DrManiac fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Feb 28, 2013 |

The White Dragon posted:I beat the second stratum boss last night and I'm not really gettin' the dificulty hype it was receiving in this thread. I mean, it's a caster and you can bind its ugly head super easy! It's not really scary, just... intimidating, but so's everything with an attack set you've never seen before. To be fair, so far 4 is waaay easier than the last games. It'll probably ratchet things up later.

ChibiSoma posted:Is it some unwritten rule that the third stratum in each game has to be teeth-grindingly frustrating? Because this Ice Stake poo poo's for the birds. Just lemme get to the third floor already, god dammit. Nooo, gotta go collecting Ice Stakes and figure out how to destroy all the giant fire things, which also respawn after a certain point so you have to do it all over again! Wait till you get to the boss [e] If it makes you feel better the next dungeon's gimmick is much less tedious.

Shlapintogan posted:I know the optional bosses are hard, but the damage on that healing throw is just ludicrous by comparison to literally all of his other attacks. My gear is top of the line stuff and I'm about to head into the fourth land, it shouldn't still be shutting me down.

Shlapintogan posted:Yeah, except none of those status ailments or binds ever stick for more than a turn (if they even stick at all), so that plan is almost entirely out the window. The RNG just hates my guts, I guess. Just fyi, the burst skill black mist makes all statues effects last an extra turn, so with a full meter that's a guaranteed 3 turns.
