A thread about Formido Oppugnatura Exsequens.

>> No.1387136

Formido means "terror; causing fear, terrible; to dread, to fear." (Where we get Formidable.)

Oppug stems from Oppungo, which is Latin for "to attack, assault." Natura is, of course, Latin for "nature."

Stems from the Latin word exsequi, meaning "to follow."

So, Fearsome Nature Warriors who Follow.

Additionally, their battle music, "Foedus Obrepit Errabundus", roughly translates to something like "the vile, wandering one sneaks up".

I dislike that IOSYS's {°д°} depiction of them gave them a face.
They were much more Formido without faces.

Also, people think you actually fight fuzzballs.
They're on-field placeholders for much more nightmarish god-beasts.

They're from Etrian Odyssey, an RPG on the DS.

They're nightmares as they're basically WANDERING MINIBOSSES that can JOIN NORMAL BATTLES if they're near you when you encounter one.

The first ones you ever encounter will basically be guaranteed game overs if they catch you.

Oh, did I mention if you get their attention, THEY CHASE YOU TO NO END?

Their 'puffball' appearance is what you see them as on the playing field. Its only when you enter battle with them do they show their true forms, which are generally just regular monsters given a different name.

>> No.1387266

At least Omega had a savepoint right before him and an obvious appearance.
Shinryuu lives in a CHEST and a long walk from the last save point. (Not too far a jog from the final save point though.)

But no, FOEs are just pumped up normal enemies that have a tendency to pop up right when you don't want them to, not LOL I'M A SUPERBOSS BUT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT UNTIL I WAVEBEAM YOU INTO FUCKBLIVION

Just go ahead and play EO2, since it is easier than EO1 with more broken classes. There isn't a link between the 2 stories either, though you get bonuses if you've completed 1.

You just need to get your party chemistry right and you'll be able to sail through all of the game eventually.

Also, don't be afraid to save, then rest your characters. You lose ten (five in EO2) levels, but you can redistribute all your skill points if you fucked up. Experiment.

You might as well just complete the game first and get the password for beating the dungeon boss so you have some continuity in dialouge and a small bonus.
