M.O.E

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF use a warp wire

Use rope.

If you don't have one:

Hope the F.O.E. Below you is on a set track. Take a step back.

If that doesn't work:

Fight and die like a man.

etrian odyssey dump?

Or try a Sleep Bell, or Haltshot.

I used warp since those item slots were very precious. And I can't find that SZS crossover.

>>1714824
yes please.

>>1714931

well, more like hexer dump

>>1714959
even better. i only have one picture of the white-haired male hexer.

>>1714980

ironically the only existing hexer on japan is the twintailed purple loli.

well, she is fucking awesome.

>>1714872
Here. And post more short-haired Medic girl.

>>1714993

I preferred the non-player one with the really hard to pronounce name from EO1. The red-headed hexer.

NOM NOM hexer

>>1714997

Tlachtga

NOM NOM hexer continued

>>1714997
Tlachtga. Same here.

>>1714993
Too bad hexers weren't too useful in EO1. A complete liability in boss fights, if not for Revenge.

>>1714997

TLATCHGA FUCK YEAH

19:59:58 <Taiko> stop keeping my thread alive with your dump Chardo

>>1715018

Hexers were great, as long as you had a Whip DH in your party. Those two together can make mince meat out of almost any boss.

bondagexer

>>1715028
Don't you have a Meltan thread to go bitch in, Sion?

>>1715029

Hexers are gods on EO2, lv10 poison is fantastic mob killer, Revenge is painful on bosses, and even the binds work alright on them, they have the highest success binds out of any character, except for the DH ultimate skill.

ass combo

>>1715029
You mean binds + Ecstasy? I didn't think binding would have much success on stronger enemies like FOEs and bosses.

3

>>1715029
Heck, you didn't even need the DH, just max out revenge and equip the Hexer with items that boost their HP.

Then just lower their HP by going across some damage tiles then take on the boss. You can usually take them out quickly enough.

>>1715056

its not really about ectassy, its about disabling those skills that rape your party if you dont have a defender.

>>1715056
I loved doing ecstacy for the four digit damage. It was kinda rare though.

PALADIN TIEM

The co-star of EO, the labyrinth itself.

>>1715094

I think I see a slit.

>>1715106

and Im spent, that was a good paladin dump

I'm on floor 23 of EO 1. After a year and a half, I am finally close to actually beating it. But do I need to complete the post-game to get the password for EO 2?

>>1715116
I hate you, Chardo

Is this game any good? These pictures are making me want to play it. Gwendolyn Syndrome.

No love for Gunner?
Pfff, more for me.

Third stratum: Countless time spent on farming Treefrogs for EXP.

>>1715124

OH YES IT IS, playing this game will turn you into a real man, its like the Contra 4 of Rpgs, pretty hard, but the satisfaction is great.

Its actually an entertaining rpg with very high customization and exploration. the soundtrack is pretty catchy too (its from the guy who did the actraiser themes).

I just love girls with hats, really.

>>1715130
Bestiality.

>>1715121
Nope. Completing floor 25 is enough.

One part of the song on the Third Stratum reminds me of the chorus Court of the Crimson King

>>1715137
I'm actually disappointed with it's so called difficulty. It becomes easier instead of harder.

>>1715130
Or a lack of EO-related images in general. I wonder if someone has scanned the artbook (Sekaiju no MeiQ Collection of Visual Materials)? Very awesome, although a tad expensive.

>>1715106
camelmoe~

magus is hot too

>>1715130

I actually have a shitload of gunner pictures too, but I will leave that dump for another day

The thing that I like about this game is the sort of survivalist feel it has. The items and inn in town are more expensive than they are in other RPGs, and getting back to the last floor of a stratum after using a warp wire can be a hassle, so you have to learn how to use your skills and items efficiently in order to live in the labryinth on your own. It's really cool once you get a your Medic and Troubadour's skills high enough and your party becomes self-sustaining and never has to sleep again.

>>1715137
>guy who did the actraiser themes

brb downloading EO

>>1715185

yeah, its a feeling that many rpgs these days have lost, RPGs are supposed to be about adventuring and taking your own desisions with the cast of characters you WANT, I was much more excited each time I reached a new stratum than most plot twists of jrpgs these days.

I also liked the fact that spending sp on skills was costly since SP recovery items are so expensive, and the fact the Cursecut/TPtransfer combo requires so many points and really hurts your team offensively on like the first 20 floors.

>>1715185
The sequel lost that feeling with the one way geometric fields every three floors. It also sucked how by the 12th floor you could solo the 1 stratum's boss, which gave a shit load of experiance (around 20,000 I believe).

>>1715137
4th Stratum field music, and the 6 Stratum battle music, were fuckwin.

>>1715211
Ah, that sucks.
Still, I can't wait to play it. The new classes look fun. I'm saving it until finals are over though.

>>1715231
It isn't too bad as only one of the fields can be active at a time, so you'll still have to hoof it through the rest of the floors.

I apologize for asking, but could someone tell me what EO means? All this made me want to try and play it.

Thanks in advance anon.

>>1715231

some floors on EO2 are still pretty big to compensate, Stratum 3 for example

All of the music in EO reminds me of other songs for some reason.

- The town music sounds like a slower version of the chorus to "Nova Era" by Angra.
- The third stratum sounds like a slower version of the chorus to "Court of the Crimson King" by King Crimson.
- and the fourth stratum reminds me of a specific part of "Can-Utility and the Coastliners" by Genesis. A slower one, of course.

>>1715247
Just read the thread, newfriend. You'll come across the name soon enough. Trust me.

>>1715247

Etrian Odyssey

>>1715247
Etrian Odyssey. I think the first one is out of print now, so you should just download it.

YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE TITS CHADO
WHERE ARE THE TITS

>>1715267
>>1715268
>>1715269
Thank you kindly. Downloading as we speak.

>>1715231
Personally, I thought the sequel (up to the 14th floor, where I'm at) was an improvement in nearly every way. More tools for the cartography, the 3 new classes are all cool, better skill balancing, much more options for customization, trickier FOEs, etc.
Sad that L/R no longer toggled the floor level, and FOEs give no exp.

>>1715144
Can someone tell me how that happened? I have no idea.

>FOEs give no exp
This pissed me off. Some of my most triumphant moments in EO1 were when I'd go back to FOE's that used to ruin my day and farm them for exp. I was also kind of disappointed that I wasn't getting annihilated by moles on the first floor like I was in EO1. From a design standpoint, it's probably better that the difficulty is more balanced, but getting raped by your first random battle and realizing what you've gotten yourself into is part of what made EO1 such a thrill.

Other than that, though, EO2 definitely took all the short-comings of EO1 and fixed them.

>>1715356

FUCK

I still need to finish EO1. Fuckin' final boss raping my party with his rape.

I shat bricks in the first Etrian Odyssey's twist.

>>1715400
perhaps it is time to learn to draw

>>1715407
Seriously? You honestly didn't see it coming?

hmm, anyon eplay Wizardry on the PS2?

It uses a team-actions system that would be cool to see in Etrian Odyssey (ex: everyone in front row guards for increased defense, one spellcaster assists another to power up spell, spellcaster puts spell inside warrior's sword to bypass resistence, etc.)

and one hell of a story

>>1715416

I'm too ashamed to scan it

this is the best /jp/ thread in months.

>>1715437
There was an EO thread only a week or two ago.

>>1715437
ironic since EO technically belongs in /v/.

>>1715454

>>1715454

well even if it is a game, its from japan, its the same as touhous.

I claim EO as property of /jp/

>>1715486

But /v/ loev EO.

Though I'm glad this is here since I'm not going into /v/ until after I get and beat Persona 4.

>>1715510

all I get about EO when I go to /v/ "shit sucks, too hard, just 1 town lol" and other fallacies

>>1715528
You know, for the longest time I thought that that alchemist was male until I noticed that all the classes had two males and two females.

I've never finished either game, I just lose the desire to continue on once I've farmed a whole bunch of gear and gotten all powerful.

1st game, floor 22:

58 ronin/58 ronin
47 alchemist/60 troubadour/60 medic

2nd game, floor 26:

62 dark hunter/62 war magus/62 dark hunter
62 gunner/62 hexer - All of them have retired a few times, with the hexer having done so 5-6 times I believe. Revenge hexer and a group of troubadour playing divinity + bosses 2, 3 and 4 makes levelling up a breeze. After they get to the required amount of retires you're after for skill set build just change them into your desired class.

>>1715528

Huh.

Back when they came out, they were masturbating each other over it because it was an RPG that was actually decently hard.

SAITAMA SAITAMA

>>1715581
How does retiring "work" in EOII? I assume it is different from EO 1, where you get a few extra skill points starting at level 1.

>>1715626
When you retire you're level cap is the level you retired +1, with the max being level 99. You start on level 20 I believe with the stat/skill points bonus being a generic amount based on the level at which you retired, class is irrelevant; in EO1 the stat points were based around the class with which you retired.

I believe there is an additional boost to the stats at certain levels, eg. 80, 90, 99, but I never got to those levels.

So what criteria decide if a game belongs in /v/ or /jp/?

>>1715681

Is it moe?

If yes, it belongs.

>>1715681

how fappable is it?

>>1714759
It hurts to look at this.

>>1715725
Caduceus!

Thanks for a good thread, here's my last contribution.

>>1715437
> this is the best /jp/ thread in months.

YEEES

DH R WM
H G

All females.

I mean, a thread full of SQ stuff I haven't seen before? Fuck yeah.

Damn, this thread is calling me back to the labyrinth.

EO2 is just sitting there waiting for me. I just need to finally beat the goddamn True Last Boss in EO1 (fuck you binds, fuck you necrosis) and farm a few items to get 100%.

>>1716469
YOU CAN DO IT, ANON

God fucking damn I hope they make a third game. Has there been any word on this? Please say there has been. I know Atlus loves to pull shit out of nowhere, but usually we at least get a heads-up.

I gotta go fucking beat the final boss in the first one, and I have to finish up the second. I guess I may as well finish the first one before moving on. I have to beat the last fucking dragon thing before I fight the guy on floor 30.

>>1716558
There isn't a third game per se, but the character designer is working on another, more traditional RPG for the DS.

>>1715528
That has nothing to do with EO and everything with /v/. You can hear the same about Fallout 3 on a daily basis.

>>1716574
BACK IN MY DAY TRADITIONAL RPGS ONLY INVOLVE PEN AND PAPER.

>>1716482
I hope so. It looks like I might have to train a survivalist from scratch to beat it. Welp, I needed to farm some monsters anyway.

>>1716574

Im looking foward to this one but forgot the name, anyone has it?

I tried the first game, but I was presented with a bunch of menus with absolutely NO indication of what tyhe fuck any of it meant so I said "fuck this" and played something else without actually seeing a dungeon.

Seriously, why the fuck does it expect me to design a party from scratch - I don't even know how many party members I'm supposed to have - without some kind of guide as to what the fuck does what?

>>1716586
You guys played diceless? When I was your age you needed at least three of every kind of dice just to roll up your character, and that includes all the dice with a prime number of sides up to 1583! And we didn't have pencils to write with or paper to write it on, either; you had to keep track of your stats by punching holes in your skin with a thumbtack, and if it ever healed over you went down a level!

>>1716592
Are you talking about 7th Dragon? I was kind of waiting on that, I know he's directing it, but might be something different.

>>1716632
Yeah, it's 7th Dragon. http://dragon.sega.jp/

The way I see it is... if Etrian Odyssey was Niinou's take on Wizardry, then 7th Dragon looks like Niinou's take on Dragon Quest. He talked a lot about Dragon Quest in his director diaries for Etrian Odyssey, so I'm not surprised that he wanted to make a game like that too. Has 7 classes to choose from, and 4 portraits for them. But instead of one dungeon to explore, there's an overworld, multiple towns, and all that jazz.

Music is also by Yuzo Koshiro again, and Rieko Kodama is the producer. It's like all my favorite video game people joined forces. Well, save for a few. ;_; Character Design is by Mota, who I'd never heard of before this, but I like his art so that's cool too.

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k1cEHJjJbXvWmZRGrL
This trailer shows off all the different class portraits. It's also on the official site but it loads slow as hell there.

And a look at battle scenes. The sprites are adorable.

>>1716574
Also dur, I just realized... did you mean to say character designer? The only game after EOII that Yuji Himukai has worked on is Kumatan, which isn't an RPG at all... but looks neat regardless.

>>1716574
Also dur, I just realized... didn't you mean to say director instead? The only game after EOII that Yuji Himukai (the character designer) has worked on is Kumatan, which isn't an RPG at all, but looks neat regardless.

Thanks for encouraging me to get back to it by the presence of this thread. I'm still just in that floor on the 3rd stratum with the leaf things floating on the water that transports you around. Temporarily gave up when coming there, as it was a bitch to map. If anyone remembers it, how did you map it?

>>1717267
Haha, I got annoyed by that place too. The first time I tried to number the lily pads... that was stupid. The second time I just drew out the paths they went on with the pencil tool, like I was drawing walls. That was way easier to do, and I understood it fine when revisiting the place.

>>1717156 Character Design is by Mota, who I'd never heard of before this
WAT

>>1717290
>The first time I tried to number the lily pads... that was stupid.
Heh, exactly the same thing I tried. Drawing walls sounds like it could work well, though. Thanks.

>>1717328
Fuck! Motor home is probably my favorite japanese artist!

He also does an official 4koma webcomic for Twin Angel and apparently has another (game?) project he's working on but can't announce details of yet.

>>1717327
I'm so bored that I made an example with the map tool on the site.

>>1717328
Sorry, not a touhou-fag. Just an rpg-fag. :<

You have to draw your own dungeon maps in this game? That sounds pretty cool.

>>1717342
While he does quite a bit of touhou fanart, I don't think he's ever released a doujin. Closest to that is being commissioned to draw covers for several IOSYS albums.

But touhou is hardly the only thing he does. He probably talks more about 15-20-year old games than he does about touhou.

That and headphones. He is a music aficionado.

>>1717342
That's what I assumed you meant, but thanks for confirming it.

>>1717366
Yeah, I was just kidding. A little, lol. After seeing his designs for 7th Dragon I went through the back logs on his site to see his other stuff. I liked it, so I'll probably follow his work from now on.

more hentai plz

>>1717511
I would post some over in /h/ and link to the thread from here, but I realized all I have is from http://rule34.paheal.net/post/list/Etrian_Odyssey/1, which most should already know of, or be perfectly capable of going to themselves when being offered the link.
