GH
AMP

Later in game I switched though, to this:
PHS
AM

But sometimes I do switch Princess and Arbalist around for delicious Front Mortar.

Front:
Hoplite/Ninja, Monk/Princess, Shogun/Buccaneer

Back:
Ninja/Zodiac, Zodiac/Gladiator

Meteor all day long.

Anyone got a ROM that actually works?

Captcha: potatoes 'niggers'

>>6252399
I'm waiting. Is there a working rom yet, for flashcards? Freezes at limit skills.

>>6252443
The original ROM works, you just got the wrong version

Upgrade your R4 firmware to play it (http://filetrip.net/f13270-Wood-R4-1-14.html)), the AP got fixed a couple days ago. Anyway, my party is:

GH
AMN

Only been playing a couple hours.

Front:
Gladiator / hoplite, buccaneer, monk

Back
Princess, ballista

Can anyone recommend subclasses to me? Im not sure what would be effective where.

>>6252442
I have the 64MB NukeThis release that was dumped a while back. Used the patch and now it works and I have baller chiptunes every time I start it up.

Also party is:
Princess Hoplite Arbalist
Zodiac Monk

>>6252909
I'm actually thinking of moving the monk to the front line, seeing as he's fists, and my princess to the back line what with her being support and all. Would this be a good idea?

>>6252909
Do you have a link to the patch?

>>6253017
It was in an EO3 romulation thread somewhere.

Also why is this on /jp/, sure it'll last longer but noone will post in it :V

http://www.mediafire.com/?41l3hcpc5yd4dks

Use Untrimed Game - 64MB one
1. Re-Name your ROM to eo3.nds in the same folder - eo3Patch - enable your file extention for .nds
2. Run patch.bat
3. Etrian-Odyssey-III-The-Drowned-City-(U)-Patched.nds , Is your new game!
4. Don't forget to rename your save file - Etrian-Odyssey-III-The-Drowned-City-(U)-Patched.sav

Haven't tried it myself. I hope this is what >>6253359 meant.

>>6253551
Yeah. It also has baller chiptunes splashscreen.

Gladiator / Princess / Arbalest
Zodiac / Monk

Way too defensive right now. Gonna retire shit once I get shoguns unlocked which should be soon. (I'm in the third stratum.)

Gladiator, Princess, Buccaneer
Ninja, Hoplite

Provoking, taking 0 damage in the back and destroying everything in sight aww yeah. Except for that stupid whale. I've got the thing to take him down now though.

>>6253604
I surprisingly had no trouble with that whale. Kept prevent order up while my Zodiac did singularityed etheric charged Hellfires. Only took two with the damage in between to kill it and got my hands on the conditional drop from formaldehyde.

>>6253611

I wouldn't have trouble if I did literally no damage to it. My almighty Bind Cut that destroyed Narmer only did 79 damage to him. But I've got Fire Arms now, he's got no chance.

>>6253619
Good luck, Anon!

>>6253639

Holy shit yes! I beat that bastard down. 1 HP and TP left, Hoplite was the only one standing. Fire Arms did shit al, but Lethal Tactic helped some along with some healing items. Sad that my Hoplite didn't level up but still, that was awesome.

>>6253815
Good job! Glad you made it, even if it was down to the wire! Enjoy your well deserved plot and subclassing.

>>6253820

Only problem is now my Hoplite is ahead of the other guys. I'll just do a sea quest or something to take care of that.

HGH
PP

Has worked wonders so far, into the second stratum at least.

I made 2 Pirates as well who I have used for Sea Quests.
And of course the obligatory 5 group Farmer team of little children.

Is it really true that people can only be afflicted by one status alignment/bond, wheras buffs stacks?

Front: Shogun/Buccaneer, Hoplite/???
Back: Monk/Princess. Ninja/Zodiac, Arbalist/Shogun

Managed to defeat two dragons and some post game bosses with this party. I'm still unsure on what to subclass my Hoplite though. Was thinking Gladiator for arm binds or Monk for Pilgrim's Deed.

I've decided on my subclasses now. I have gone Gladiator/Hoplite, Princess/Gladiator, Buccaneer/Farmer, Ninja/Zodiac and Hoplite/Monk. Hopefully it doesn't fail me.

Subclasses don't affect what equipment you can have right?

If I subclass a Shogun, I will still only be able to dual weild swords, right?
I couldn't do something cool like Subclass one into Buccanner and dual weild Rapier and Gun, right?
I guess that wouldn't work.

>>6254060
No, it does work as long as you have a point into the mastery skill. I can wield a katana/rapier on my Shogun but I'm still limited to cloth armor on her.

Hoplite Gladiator Princess
Arbalist Ninja

But I'm eventually going to switch to
Hoplite/Ninja Shogun/Buccaneer Monk/Princess
Arbalist/Shogun Ninja/Zodiac

In the reserves, I've got nine farmers: 3 I actually use, and 6 leeching off Combat Study, one of which is going Wildling for conditional drops.

The Shogun/Buccaneer is going out when I finally get tired of auto-attack spam, but I'm not too sure what to do to fill in the hole for frontline DPS. Gladiator seems nice, but from what I've read, it takes a lot of leg binding to make them work later in the game.

still no infolib/ update, I sad

So uh.. could someone explain what this is

Purple Princess
Patchouli

Green Prince
Wriggle

Red Monk
Meiling

White Ninja
Youmu

And what should the fifth member be?

Princess/---------/Gladiator
Monk/Hoplite/Zodiac

Subbed my Gladiator as a Ninja and my Hoplite as an Arbalist for glorious double Nine Smashes spam.

When do I unlock Shogun?

I find it a shame that a Buccaneer can't sub-class into a shogun and learn to dual weild.

Is one to use both Rapier and Gun, they aren't allowed to look like a pirate, instead they have to look like a Samurai doing Buccaneer stuff.

I minor issue I guess.

Anyone know if Double Action works with chasing?

Hoplite/Gladiator/Princess
Ninja/Zodiac

Kind of fucked up my Gladiator and Zodiac but I don't want to reset skill points yet

EO anime when? Watching cute anime characters dungeon crawl and be ruthlessly slaughtered is my fetish.

But I haven't finished I and II. Where do I get a save anywhere?

I haven't gotten a good one yet.
Just started out and them Great Lynxes/Great Bills are draining my money with OHKO regular attacks.
>>6256070
Blonde Zodiac - Flandre

>>6256335
Some guy in the pub tells you that Great Bills sleep at night.
Seriously, social recluse or not, there is no excuse for not talking to everyone in an RPG.

Alraune is kicking my ass with multi-hit one shot kill attacks. How do I kick her ass? I already have Regroup Tactic.

And how the fuck do you beat Scylla with three fucking farmer NPCs?

So how does the Princess's Inspire skill work?
Is it based on Technique like that other skill?

Or better yet, what does the stats do really?
I haven't really been able to get any info on that.

And one more thing.
There was that sea quest with Bergman's Spear as a reward. The spear is really weak, but it has two slots of "Limit up" or something, right? That seems like it could be useful, is there a limit hammer somewhere in the game perchance?

Too bad this series of screenshots are fake.
A fan EO3 game should be made.

>>6256403
Most of Alraune's attacks are head based, so binding her head is effective towards stopping her elemental/status AoEs. For her regular multi-hit attack, you can bind her legs and she'll be helpless. She uses her status AoE every 6 turns so you can just Prevent Order your guys two turns beforehand. If you have a Hoplite you can just provoke/bodyguard someone using Daifuhensha to draw most of her multi-hitting attacks. For extra protection, have a limit spammer use Aegis Shield every couple of turns.

I really don't quite know what to do with my Princesses.
I already have two, and that's decent healing/support power already.

I have two Hoplites and one Gladiator, and so far that has been decent defence/damage at least, or that might just be because of all the great spears I have gotten from my sea quests.

Anyway, if I want to up my damage apartment, as it might be what I lack most.
Does the Zodiacs' elemental skills increase the damage of the princes' Emit Weapon attack? Cause that one is an elemental attack, right? Even thogh the attack is based on ones ally.
And does Dark Ether and Ether Consentration counts as buffs? That could be a factor in how to regain TP and extra health.
Is a Prince/Zodiac viable?

Other than that I suppose I thought of the Arbilast as well. They can increase the accurucy of the entire party, heal them, and increase their own TP on the get go then, right? And even if it wasn't something I had planned, I guess they could switch to those heavy crossbows and be more useful from the back row.
Buccaneers also have guns though, and that Limit Boost thing, but they are more of a close combat type if you aren't using elemental attacks, no?

Then again, I might just be overthinking this.
To subclass them as monks in order to not die might be enough, and then simply just sub the hoplites and the gladiator into something even more offensive in order to compensate things.

But a Patchouli princess subbed as Zodiac might be fun.

Monk/Ninja, Princess/Gladiator, Farmer/Hoplite

Arbalist/Buccaneer, Zodiac/Wildling

Sounds like the worst team makeup in the history of ever, but only problems I had so far was Narmer my first time attempting him, now im on B16 trying to find Spearhead Chips and something else with everyone an average level of 54.

I think I'm gonna give up. I'm at postgame, at B25, with my party only about level 60 on average. I can't beat any of the extra bosses and the levelling is shit even on the last floor. If there's no good way to grind, I'm out.

>>6258402
Touhou Odyssey?
Fuck yeah!!!

>>6261956
Game is easy if you overlevel, really. But it's nothing wrong, just that most people end the game in their late 50s.

It's a good DPS party though.

Finally unlocked and made a Shogun, and he's at level 1 while everyone else is in their 30s. How do I get him to catch up?

Hey, I actually need some help:

My Princess currently has 5 points invested in heal when not damaged, heal after battle if alive, 1 in Guard and Attack Order, and I'm currently sitting on 3 points that I'm not sure how to distribute.

Any suggestions on what to do with her, or what points I should invest in? Should I put more into Attack / Guard order, and get the HP restoring ability, or are the Elemental Buff skills worth anything?

My party is currently a Hoplite, Ninja, Arbalist, Princess, and Zodiac. Also looking for tips on what to do with them when I get to dual class.

>>6263230
Hmm, first of all the skill you listed are good. Ad Nihilo is really good skill to pick up too, but you'll need 5 in both Attack and Guard Order. Elemental buffs are so-so but useful if you don't have someone doing Elemental Damage. Get Regal Radiance if you're getting Elemental buffs.

Distribution wise, look at what you're lacking first. Do you have enough SP to spam Guards? Are you ending battles with full hp?

If you still don't have any ideas on what to do just go with whichever you want, Princesses are hard to do wrongly.


>>6263201
Solo bosses, use her to turn in quests, get a Farmer with that lv10 exp up skill to grind her, do more sea quest bosses, etc.

>>6262882
Get a bunch of farmers and level them up to max in the exp boost skill.

>>6263264
Does the Exp boost of Farmers stack?
10% per Farmer (4) = +40% total ?

>>6263257

Generally my Princess can end an FOE battle with a ton of TP left over.

The only thing is I have my Zodiac with Fire right now (both single and binary) but I haven't gotten him to open up the other elements--would that be a good idea? I remember from earlier EO games that it was tough to make your mage have all three, and I put points into Dark Ether to help open up for Meteor later.

However I'm only on like level 12 so I guess I still have plenty of points left to go.

And Princesses seems really useful but hard to choose because a lot of the skills seem really useful. I'm considering going for Ad Nihilo so I can debuff enemies and deal damage.

>>6263257
>SP
I mean TP, derp.

>>6263230
>My party is currently a Hoplite, Ninja, Arbalist, Princess, and Zodiac. Also looking for tips on what to do with them when I get to dual class.

I recommend Princess/Monk since Monks are really good to have later in game.

Zodiac can go with Arbalist so that you can spam cheap 8TP aoe, but Ninja for dodge and TP returning skills would work too.

Hoplite/Ninja for Bunshin makes the game easier but a wide margin, since you can defend two lines or raise elemental defense or cast Body Guard twice in one turn. It's nifty to have one around.

I don't have much to say for the others, but try Shogun and Yggdroid after you get them, Shoguns are insanely strong.

>>6263230
Cookie cutter combo is Hoplite/Ninja, Ninja/Zodiac, Arbalist/Zodiac, Princess/Monk, and Zodiac/Gladiator. Move the Princess up front, Dark Ether with the Ninja, buff and Meteor with the Zodiac, and hit elemental weaknesses with the Arbalist.

For your Princess, I would go for King's March. Royal Bell just doesn't cut it when enemies start pumping out multi-hit attacks, but March ensures that you start every battle with full HP for free.

Gladiator/Hoplite, Hoplite/Ninja, Shogun/Hoplite
Monk/Princess, Arbalist/Gladiator

In the fourth stratum, doing very well, will probably keep this setup for postgame. Used to have a Zodiac, replaced him with a Shogun since his damage trails off in late game (unless you go Ninja/Zodiac, but my one clone spot is always taken by my Hoplite).

>>6263271
You say 10%, but you actually mean 30, right? And yeah, it stacks.

It's too bad Princess and Zodiac are shitty as base classes and only good as sub, since the two princesses and the Zodiac loli have the best portraits in the game. Zodiac loli reminds me of Hexer loli mixed with Flandre.

Just got the game two days ago, what am I supposed to do after I finish the first floor? Where do I get the next quest?

>>6263308
30% so 3% per skill point in Earth's Bounty? = +120%
Where can I find the tables with the exact values of all skills?

>>6263310
That's Sion.

>>6263301

I have a Buccaneer instead of a Shogun (don't have them unlocked yet), but that's my party too. It's funny to move my Arbalist to the front in place of my Gladiator and use level 10 attack order + Attack boost limit and watch bosses get OTK'd.

>>6263350
Try Front Mortar, delicious 298% (or was it 398%?) unboosted damage. Max out Double Action and watch the hp bar deplete.

Does anyone know whether Double Action work with 9 Strikes?

I've been toying with the idea of sticking a Bind Cut Gladiator together with a Farmer/Ninja and a Sniping Arbalist.
Gladiator/Arbalist Monk/Princess
Hoplite/Ninja Arbalist/??? Farmer/Ninja
Mystery seed, Bind Cut, and SnipeII.
I'm not sure if Bind Cut actually removes the Bind yet, but if it does, I can just use Snipe when I need to hit multiple enemies, and swap with the monk in 1on1 boss battles for Front Mortar.

Still havnt beatedn EO2

bump

>>6263264
Levelling is faster if you remove one character from your party rather than replacing him/her with a farmer.

Just started my first run.
Gladiator, Prince, Ninja
Zodiac, Farmer

Any tips you veterans could give a new guy like me?

I wish the game let you choose your own colors instead of choosing from presets...

I'm still at floor 10

Front Row:
Hoplite/Ninja
Princess/Buccaneer
Monk/Princess

Back Row:
Wildling/Farmer
Zodiac/Arbalest

Wildling/Farmer is kinda useless, I was hoping she'd be a binder but it's ineffective against bosses. Also I messed up the skill allocation for the Princess/Buccaneer.

>Monarch March
>Recover HP with each step by singing gallant songs

I died of moe imagining my princess loli doing that.

I'm having a hard time with the sea quest bosses.
How do you beat the golem?

>>6267596
The first of 3 quests on the golem is the hardest, as the monk does nothing but spam his weakass attack, try doing the 2nd one first, or the 3rd if you have a dedicated monk to party heal spam

Aegis defence as limit, or for the third quest charge tactic

Ad nihilo its regen, avoid physical attackers aside from elemental arbalists, but do bring along a shogun, as kaishaku ends the fight right there, nullifying its clench-revive.

>>6267199
Well, out goes my Bind Cut plan...

Is having a Monk pretty much a must or can Princesses do the healing role by theirselves?

>>6268203
Get both a monk and a princess in the beginning, then after you reach the second stratum and after your monk's reached level 30, retire him. Then, sub the princess as a monk.

>>6268203
It's always better to have a Monk, especially in Stratum 5. Or when you encounter old friends like Venomflies.

>>6268328
thank you, will do. I just can't get myself to like eastern-flavored classes in my fantasy.

>>6267596
Get a Monk, spam heal every turn. Get some elemental buffs/damage in, he goes down pretty fast, you just need to watch your hp.

Is the monk really that much better for survivability?

Though I did use two princesses, that might be it.
But maxed Royal Veil combined with maxed Reinforce on two princesses at once does it pretty good, combined with all party buff limits, then there is healing everywhere, especially with the overtime health regeneration buff.
And TP is also no problem for higher level princesses as they can easily gain more than they dish out each turn, and they do some of the defence work as well, so people take less damage, lowering the need of healing some.

What's a good subclass for a shogun?

>>6268687
Buccaneer.
Dualweild Rapiers and Guns, and get access to all the Buccaneer abillities at one and the same time.
Couple the dual weild thing with self thought sword play for a chance of 4 to 8 hits per attack.

>>6268671
Monks are good for full party Refresh and Unbound. And the occasional full hp Resurrection.

You don't need to rely on them till later stratums though, where you get leg binded, head binded and plagued all in 1 ambush turn.

>>6268727
So I guess a Shogun/Arbalest would be good too?

Is there anyway to play this on an emulator like desume?
Do I just download the ROM and load it?

>>6269288
Here
http://archive.easymodo.net/cgi-board.pl/jp/thread/6204583
>>6206141
and then you replace it with
>>6207237

Launch it through the zoomer and it's all fine.

Monk/Princess is eons better than Princess/Monk

Princess's heals and buffs are flat amounts and unaffected by stats. A Princess/Monk would have extremely weak Party Heal by comparison. You'll also likely spend more points in the Monk tree.

>>6269330
We should have the experienced players (who player/finished the game) tell us their thought about all possible permutations of classes/subclasses

>>6269330
Ninja/Monk works well for me atm. You get two healers at once, and they use less tp than a monk.
The princess can then focus on buffs.

Android is main class only, right?
I don't know the stats and the skills only from http://www.ualberta.ca/~fqureshi/EO3/SkillSim/
but Data Analysis (+90% atk 10% crit) looks like it would work well with Buccaneers.
Are those Normal Attack enhancing skills any good in this game?

How many HP do you have in lategame? The 127 HP per turn for Overheat sounds too much.

>>6269578
My level 50 characters have around 300.

>>6269596
Did you put any points in HP/TP boost? They start at +10% at level 1.

>>6269613
Oh, that might be why I'm dying so often.

>>6269578
Data mining only effects damage from criticals, and you don't have to max overheat (unless you're going for hp cannon).

That said, I have an android/buccaneer, and it's great. Max swashbuckling, max limit boost, 5 overheat, working on data mining. Outdamaged everybody in my party with a 15 level difference between them until I got the club from a bf14 FOE for my gladiator.

on B8F now, I suspended my game and came back and forgot to heal then I ran into Olympia, fucking bitch. 2 levels on my party down the drain...

So how do you guys solve the TP problem?
I keep running out of TPs.

I thought Inspire is the solution but Inspire only works on characters that have negative buffs on them. ;_;

>>6269799
By using tp restoring items.
