Neat, I was looking forward to this! Ronin Ken, Portrait 1. (Full name is Kenneth, but nobody remembers to call him that) Ken isn't actually a samurai, or really much of a warrior. He's just a fan of samurai stories and owns a few cheap replica swords and a costume. Somehow he got roped into joining the guild due to a bizarre mix of politeness, a pushover personality, and near crippling social anxiety; he could never muster up the courage to say no or correct people of their misconceptions. Everyone mistook his long silences and inability to utter more than two or three words at a time for a True Warrior's stoic attitude. Between that and his grim appearance (the scar came from an accident at the gym), nobody thought to question him. But hey, he's kinda athletic and looks the part, so maybe he could pull off the whole Ronin thing... Even if all the knowledge he has of fighting comes from cheesy samurai adventure novels and comic books. As for a guild name, Tuxedo Ted fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Sep 5, 2014 |

That eight character limit really puts a damper on all the fun names we can come up with. Let's see... the guild shall be known as Unseemly unless someone picks a better one. Someone please pick a better one.

Yeah, the Firefly guild sounds way better, that has my vote. Loving all the character suggestions so far, this group is gonna be great.

I dunno, an anemic Protector who sometimes collapses before the enemy even strikes has nearly as much comedic potential. Edit: too late for that.

What, no Troubador entries? Nobody wants to be the bard... Also, Kemix, the Medic role got claimed already, better switch it up if you want to have your suggestion picked.

 Ah, all the xp bars lined up identically in lockstep. Won't be long before sudden deaths and desperate victories send them all in disarray.

Wow, I didn't expect to see so many people who tried to maintain XP equilibrium in these games. I like to do it too, but I'd never have even tried it in a series like this.

KingEffingFrost posted:It's OK, the game is just trying to wean you off of synched up EXP bars... as violently as possible. Really, they're doing us all a favor. Just think, if this were Final Fantasy a single Level 5 Death could wipe the whole party out.

Yeah, I think the idea behind much of EOIII was that they'd make it as different as possible since a few people felt like EO2 was more of a patch or expansion than a true sequel. Bugfixes, tweaks, a few new classes, etc.

I'd love an RPG like Etrian with a Weapon Master class where different branches of weapon skills synergize and reward you from branching out. Like, one trick from the thrusting swords lends a special ability to the polearms, which in turn lends stuff to axes, etc.

I'd like to see Fedot, Bellamy, and Aegis back in the party. All the talk of how Alchemists are kinda meh in the later Stratums makes me want to see Bellamy in action while he can still dazzle us all.

Well so far the stratum seem to be cycling through seasons. First was a cheery summery glade, second was an autumn forest, third was a frigid alpine area... the next either will swing back around to a spring jungle or go double-down on the cold aspect and be an inhospitable glacier.

tithin posted:Mate, just play what'll get you through the game Yeah, I agree. Voting was fun early on, but now I say you just switch the team up as you wish when you wish, and if that means sticking to the original end-game team you outlined in the OP back when this thread started so be it.

Three votes to LPer's choice. Haha, I love it and hate it when games get to this point. No more pulled punches, even regular random encounters are potentially deadly. It's a ton of fun to have to bring your A-game to each battle... sometimes. But other times it just turns into an un-fun slog and you can't be bothered to reach the end. Me? I'd have probably lost steam well before this Statum. Good luck, Dr. Fetus.

I bet the floating castle is a techno-magic fusion kinda thing like the one in Crystalis. The winged dudes are robots who maintain the inner workings.

Yeah, I'd say that counts as "Dunk'd harder than the Wyrm." A very satisfying update.
