Oh, sweet, Etrian Odyssey 2. 100%jesusfree got me into the first one, and theshim into the third one. I skipped over the second one after trying it out a bit. Wasn't my cup of tea. But looking forward to this!

I think one of the playable Medics in that game resembles Gabe?

Pictures for reference, definitely a similarity at least.

For people who don't know, the level cap is 70. For Etrian Odyssey 3 and beyond, you raise that cap by killing three super-bosses that've been a mainstay of the series since the first one: (Fire) Wyrm, (Ice) Drake, and (Thunder) Dragon. Each one would bump the level cap ten levels, to 99.

However, Etrian Odyssey 1 and 2 were extremely different. You had to reach level 70, then retire your character. You basically kick them out for an enhanced recruit that get some bonus stats at half the original level. And with the bonus of bumping that specific character's level cap up... by 1. And you have to do it repeatedly from 70 to 99. :shepicide:

...Pretty sure that's how it went, right? Might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was something along those lines.

The Something Awful Forums > Discussion > Games > Nofriendo Entertainment System > You forgot the Warp Wire again, didn't you? Let's Play Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard

The very few times I have played this, I embarrassingly forgot to bring it more times than I care to admit... Like I didn't even know what that Warp Wire stealing event was on the second floor until this LP, because I forgot it that often. :sweatdrop:

Did they change that with EO3? Because im pretty sure the shortcuts I unlock there stayed open.

It's been a while since I've played a new game on any of the Etrian Odyssey installments, but I feel like just saving the map data after a game over doesn't keep the shortcuts. Call it a gut memory, if anything, though, heh.

I just remembered all the gimmicks used in the next Stratum. :suicide: Oh boy, that one's gonna be a slog. Not looking forward to that one at all. Why are the third Strata always the worst ones? Except for the first game I guess. And maybe the third game if you don't hate damage tiles WHICH ARE EVERYWHERE.

To be fair, Monarch March. SING! SING THROUGH THE SEARING PAIN!

Voting for Aegis to make a tie and throwing Maverick and Aliara a pity vote.

Edit: Last page had current standings, in case anyone'd miss it.

I think this is the only appropriate response to that update. Because holy geez that's really just so friggen dumb.

Sort of glad I skipped EO2 now! :v:

Ahahahaha. OK, now I'm really glad I skipped EO2. Like, more so than I was before. I can't even think about dealing with this post-game.

Use a different team. Who knows when we'll be using them, right? Might be their last time to shine, may as well let them go out with a bang!

...Untold's post-game teleport maze, I found genuinely enjoyable. 4's teleport maze, I brute-forced easily enough (then found out how you're supposed to solve it and thought it was brilliant). I don't even remember if 3 had one, but the closest equivalent I can remember, I'm fairly certain I had fun with, at least.

This just looks like a worse Eridanus, if that's even possible.

Oh yes, I guess now would be a good time to say that yes, I am planning another LP. What game, you ask?



You're going to get revenge on him for the Survivalist Solo Class Challenge he told you to do in Untold, aren't you...?

Looking forward to the LP! :)

I've just started EO IV, and I'd like to emulate Dr. Fetus in drawing the paths of FOEs in the labryinths. My question is, how do I do that? I'm not sure how to get those lines within the squares (as opposed to marking the walls).

I'm fairly certain that he's editing them into his images. You can't specifically draw lines like that in any of the games, so the best way to do it is using the auto-walk indicators for EO3 onward, or memorizing in the case of EO1 or 2.

Option 3 has piqued my interest, but if I'm going to take a wild guess... going to take him on at night?

Aegis, Maverick, Nick, Ken, and Fedot for party composition.

...Wow. The quality difference between just this game and the next one is staggering. Hell, even the first game wasn't nearly this bad...

I also feel like you've just fulfilled the "Destroy Ur-Child" option even though that didn't win. Bless you, Dr. Fetus. :patriot:
