Did they say EOX was after the events of the other EO games? Artelinde looks a tad more grown up in that scan.

Also, I can't help but feel like EO3U was a thing at some point, but got turned into EO5 and EOX.

I was gonna say this as well. Actually it mystifies me a lot how EO3U never came out. I know this is a dead horse by now but it's pretty annoying! EO5 was good so that's fine, but X is hopefully even better...

The interview said they wanted to make the returning NPCs look a bit more mature but still definitively recognizable as themselves. Whether that means a linear timeline for all this remains to be seen.

It was never stated in the first game or the remake at all. The first game didn't even have that many lines for her since she only had one line per Stratum, like most other EO1 NPCs.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

So, recently I sorted my 3DS games and when I put EOV in my "favorite 3DS games" place, I noticed I had an activation code for something, which apparently came with the game. But using it in the Nintendo eShop told me I should use it inside the game, but inside the game there is no way to put the code in, or is there?

How do I use this weird code? :confused:

Can any Eurogoons here explain to me how this works? (As I assume the code only came with the EU-version of the game.)

Oh wait, I just got my answer. It was stated in the EO3 artbook that the Guildmaster in that game was possibly a disgraced prince, and hints that Shilleka might be related to him.

I am decidedly not a Eurogoon, but I believe this may be something weird that's arisen from the fact that the Gunner portrait DLC (I think?) was a Famitsu thing in Japan.

Maybe. I'm not entirely sure.

On the plus side she is no longer wearing that stupid pantyhose and the fetishised white school swimsuit.
On the negative side they forgot to put her into actual armor instead - or into anything, really.

What the non-child female Hero portrait needed was more armor so she would be closer to Hoplite and Dragoon...

but seriously, i don't really mind if the game has fanservice (and that hero portrait is not that bad compared to that EO2U dlc) but some equality wouldn't hurt you know.

Huh. I guess that makes sense, given that EO3 had a number of callbacks to the first game.

I feel like that is very specifically an old Dragon Quest reference. Female Warrior from 3, probably?

The lack of a shirtless, muscular, glistening male hero is a problem, though.

This doesn't explain anything, since this code is printed on my decidedly German quick reference guide. It's even labeled "Aktivierungscode" (German for "activation code"). So since Famitsu is a Japanese magazine, it very probably has zero to do with this.

Anyway, there's still this problem of the code not working outside the game, and there being no way to type it in inside the game, like the eShop claims, so I'm still stumped.

just make a ton of lovely equipment from stratum 1 and 2 and then melt that down into bronze ingots. iirc there's a sword from S2 made from regular, common drops that gives 1 extra shard over the expected yield for that stratum.

There was an event that covered your party with stinky water. You could either keep your equipment and weapons on (And take severe TP damage) or take it off and be forced to fight equipmentless in an event battle. :catstare:

E: Another event asked you if you needed a map, or if you could navigate from memory. Answering with the latter forces you to go mapless for a while. :laffo:
