Another neat twist to this fight? Painless has the same effect regardless of level. You can bring a level one Protector and still pull that off. Might be kinda tricky to survive a Riptor long enough to pull that off though. This was a fantastic LP, and I'm thrilled someone finally managed to actual finish one of these games. But man, this game was way buggier than I thought. Even though this was my first EO game and I've got a soft spot for it, I really can't excuse any of this. The remake was badly, badly needed.

Well I was hoping to get a nighttime kill without using Force Skills, but it's honesty just not really feasible unless you're party is level 99. No matter which party combination I try, I can't survive long enough to take him down. I'm not really frustrated, just bored because at that point the fight just amounts to surviving a dice roll. Those kinds of fights aren't really interesting at all because there's absolutely no strategy involved. And he has several kill moves, some of which can be survived in certain conditions. But the only way you can do that is if you actively plan for it. Also, the thing used Begone 3 turns in a row in one of my attempts, and that was with extremely lucky CPR procs. Funnily enough, that wasn't what killed me. No, the next turn he used Wildance. 4 Instant Deaths. And 1 Petrify. Yeah, I'm done. I'll probably just record a kill at daytime and put that up instead. Sorry to disappoint.

A game so broken I was able to let my friends pick from generic DnD tropes and then assign characters in my current playthrough, and somehow I'm making it! (Mostly due to familiarity and a lot of my "assigning" ending up with the typical fun party member loadouts. My one friend thankfully blessed me with a sword Gladiator though!) edit: The last thing this LP has been at any point is dissappoint. It's an Etrian Odyssey final boss. BEFORE subclassing. DOING IT THE HARD WAY. That every attempt didn't end immediately is a credit to you as a player actually!

So fun fact, there was another bug that I thought was in this game, that got fixed in localization. In the Japanese version, if you kill too many enemies in one fight, which is accomplished by fighting an enemy that can summon other enemies, like the Ladybugs and the Raflesias. The game will dump a random weapon in your inventory. Any weapon. This included stuff like the Dragvandil, which is the sword that has like around 180 attack and the Force Up attribute. That you could get in the 1st Stratum. Granted, this was also a risky bug, since it could also dump in a weapon that you can't discard or sell.Rangpur posted:Calling it a true ending is misleading. It's really just a way for the developers to say, "look we know at least one of you spergy fucks is crazy enough to try this even if you didn't get anything for it, so here's a token acknowledgment of the effort." Hivac posted:Which, considering how the equipment compendium exists in 2, is still way more out of the way then the rest of the games. Right, so this was said near the beginning of the LP, and I'm just gonna go ahead and debunk this. There is absolutely no benefit from leveling up to 99. No extra ending, no extra dialogue at all. None. I checked everywhere on the internet to see if such a thing existed, and there was nothing about it. I even checked for myself in the game. Nothing. Do not level up to 99 unless you really want to take down nighttime Ur-Child without Force Skills. Also, here: http://polsy.org.uk/play/yt/?vurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DEFKO1yz9qXw A video of the Ur-Child fight at day. Basically the destroy option, but it involves significantly less dunking than the counter strategy. I don't know if I'll actually write that out into screenshots, and the game essentially doesn't resolve the whole monsters are heading to Lagaard plot at all thanks to a bug. And cheats can't be used to see the textbox, because that's not how cheats work.

After you kill the Ur-Child for the first time, all the Riptors on the floor, aside from the two in the first room, will permanently disappear.  : Ha ha! Dominated, twinkle-toes! : Ha. I can't believe we actually did that! Huh. It feels like the whole place got a lot more quiet. : Yes, I do believe it got more peaceful. : I guess killing the End-Bringer put a stop to all that? : Maybe. Canaan did say it was one of the main reasons the monsters were heading down the tree. Now that its gone, well... Hmm. I guess we better head back and pack up. There's nothing left for us in Lagaard.

Nothing is left to do in the game, so it's time to leave.     As opposed to Etria, where compiling everything actually put them out of business and turned them into a ghost town.        Basically, when you stop playing Etrian Odyssey II.     When you complete everything possible in an Etrian Odyssey game, you're given an ultimate accessory that serves little purpose since you've already done everything. After this point, the credits roll.  PC-88 Version The 100% credits roll... is the exact same thing as the regular credits roll, so I'm not gonna show the whole thing again. It does have new artwork and music, (though the latter is a bit repetitive) so I'll show that off.  So, what did you think of the game? I know I made it look bad at times, and I personally don't like it, but it is a genuinely good game. It just does some dumb stuff here and there.  For those of you that had trouble getting into the EO series, I hope this LP was helpful in doing so.  And for those of you that still have trouble, well I hope you enjoyed the game and this LP.  Oh of course the Muckdile gets his own artwork.  Anyways, I've made several missteps and mistakes over the course of this LP. My gameplay was riddled with several mistakes that were avoidable, and I've written things that I heavily regret. Still, I was glad that I got to show off the game.  Thank you for reading.

Great job, Dr. Fetus. The whole LP was entertaining, from the perspective of someone who has never played an Etrian Odyssey game but was interested in them. Not only from the game itself, your commentary was great too, and the character writing was impressive. Also you kept tearing the game new holes and I greatly enjoy seeing games known for their difficulty treated this way. You made a joke out of the superboss not once but twice! Again, congratulations on a job well done, and I'll be eagerly looking forward to the EO3 LP.

Glad you managed to stick it out and see it through to the end.  ... Although I'm curious about something involving the Ur-Child. If you fight him during the day, he follows a set pattern; if you fight him at night, he uses random attacks. What happens if you start the battle near the end of the day and let it tick over into night? Does he switch over to random attacks, or does he maintain his standard daytime attack pattern?

I posted earlier that I couldn't really get into the EO series, and I still stand by my opinion. The cartography aspect wasn't too fun for me since I preferred exploring without necessarily marking things down correctly. That included stuff like mislabeling spots or forgetting to mark down paths entirely.  Seeing all those neatly laid-out maps in the LP was really nice though. I think my favorite part was the detailed mechanics write-ups (and the subsequent boss glitch abuse, that was great). It's just one of those cases where the concept is cool, but I don't have enough time and patience to play the games. Luckily I didn't have to. Thanks for LPing it and congratulations on finishing!

theshim posted:Congratulations. No, this guy actually had a complete LP of EO1, postgame and all. But the LP never got archived, and all the images were lost because they were hosted on Waffleimages. W.T. Fits posted:Glad you managed to stick it out and see it through to the end. Nothing. His AI is set at the start of the battle. Gonna go back and do a final edit over my updates and change some stuff around since a lot of these updates were just  . For one thing, I'm gonna cut out some unfunny garbage, and spruce up some stuff to keep it up to date. Like this update is getting the axe since it was a joke update, was mainly fanfiction, and added nothing significant to the LP. If anyone wants to watch a solo Alchemist take down the final boss, they can just watch the video. (important stuff will be moved to the next update.) Also I made several mistakes like letting my fanfiction overtake the game at some points, and I'm aiming to fix that before it gets sent off to the archives. (The game should ALWAYS be at the forefront.) Or just not let it go to the archives, who know. Also some of the things I did visibly changed over the LP, like the FOE patrol paths, which really bothers me.  Ugh. Araxxor fucked around with this message at 05:17 on May 14, 2015 |

Okay, so against my better judgement, I'll make the EO3 LP a narrative one. Sure, let's get another train-wreck rolling, why not? If it doesn't work out, I'll just stick to regular informative commentary. At any rate, I don't know how many people actually want to make a character so I'll change the rules of character creation slightly, though they'll be mostly the same as this thread's rules. For one thing, it won't be first come first serve anymore. Well not right away, if not enough people want to make one, that's what I'll stick with. If it's like a stampede or something, I'll have people vote on who they want to see in the LP. Or I could just pick and choose myself, haven't decided on that one yet. Oh, and the thread will be posted on Monday at 12:00 pm Central Time, DST On. Also I have another issue and that is that I lack a thread title. The current one I have in mind is Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City. So yeah. I guess people can try to come up with one, and whoever comes up with the one I actually use will gain special privileges!?!? I dunno. Point is, I don't have a thread title in mind, and I would like a nice one.

I agree, you did a really good job with the narrative. And a good job with all of the numbers and being informative. This was a great LP, you can't get down on yourself or get stuck thinking about how things should have gone. This was an amazing LP, and I definitely think you should archive it.

One, while I did come up with the veteran idea (mainly to showcase the password feature), in the end, he isn't my character. I don't know if the guy who made him still reads this thread. Also, I'm not doing the veteran thing again for EO3 since I wanna try out new things. In fact let me just put in a rule against that, if your character was used in this LP, you're not allowed to submit them again for EO3. Besides, the EO2 and EO3 class portraits really don't look that much alike. Etrian Odyssey isn't really like Final Fantasy, the games are connected in a way. But for the most part, EO2 and EO3 are kind of their own things and I kind of want to stick with that. On the other hand, if you were around for theshim's EO3 LP, and had a character used in that one, I'll accept those, though keep in mind they might be written differently.

And I got to show off a game that I don't think too many people were familiar with, so that's a plus. Really tempted to use that as the thread title.

Don't cut the Alchemist solo-final boss, that was great! We all agree on redecorating that awful place, and your fanfiction is enjoyed by the thread, so I see no reason to be so harsh on yourself or remove the chance of reading that hilarious thing in the archives. Also the squirrel title is clearly the way to go, considering how many Warp Wires have been lost in this LP.
