There are a million "Wizardry Clones"
90% of those in japan are so shitty they never even get translated to america
Even ones with great art like Stranger in Sword City just seem awful
Why does the Etrian series just 'work' so well?

>wizardry clone
except for the part where Etrian and Wizardry play nothing alike besides being dungeon crawlers
nice-smelling girls
sexy girls
cute traps
I'm a homo who has no attraction to the girls
I like the dungeon crawling aspect and the classes feel decently fleshed out
EOV especially has some pretty fun class combinations and the story events give it a cute charm. Music is generally well done as well.
I just fucking love using the bottom screen to map the dungeon. And lolis
Have you ever actually played Wizardry? It's nothing like EO. EO has a much better class/skill system that allows for better customization and class synergy.
anyone feel like the dungeon events take away from the imagination element? I wanted to have a bunny fuccboi with retard strength he is embarrassed of but every strength event makes the user seem smug about it much like how every Reflex event gives the character a "professional" or "cool" vibe
beautiful girls
I like the Etrian series but 5 dropped the ball on designs. I miss 2 and 4, those had some of the best shit.
I hate everything about those events

I'm disappointed she isn't a DLC portrait. She is way cuter than Teach
what about great choices like

>sure why not
>you got ambushed and burned

great events, I'd rather pet the squirrel
don't worry, they've got squirrel events covered too.
>skip rocks

Drawing your own maps is an awesome idea and more games should do it
Necrololi or Tittymancer?
Necro loli for Necromancer,
Tittymom alter-classed into a Warlock.
Because it's the only one to do it, and it does it in the most smooth way possible.
There's no other device out there other than the DS and 3DS that can handle something like it, it uses the dual screen functionality in the best way physically possible.
A near-flawless simulation of pen and paper crawlers without the pen and paper but a similar experience, and it's the only way to do it without resorting to irritating things like toggling every two seconds or a shitty minimap in the corner of the screen.
And the music, art, and solid battle system.
The guys are virtually the same
Her game soon.
Yeah, I kind of ruined that one for myself.
>skip a few rocks

Whoops.
Loli
I use a tittymancer as my poison botanist.
I hate that both male portraits are the same. Should have had a grandpa Celestrian in a full anime Dark Lord robe to match Grandpa Dragoon and Grandma Rover
Strange Journey is also amazing for similar reasons. The DS just works really well with these types of games and I love it.
>lactating poison
[LOUD SWEATING]
>tie wedged between tits
My weakness.
One titty is poison, the other heals you. Choose wisely.
The skill trees and class synergy making combat actually fun in a turn-based RPG.
>fall for the fake spoiler that stratum 6 was on a crashed ayy lmao ship
>get to it
>it is actually straight up fucking outer Space
what a shame, I wanted some Greys as FOEs
I need paizuri from Solor while LIli watches with her flat chest.
>not having Lili sucking the tip from between Solor's breasts
Are you gay?
I'm replaying 4 and trying to get myself to finish it before buying 5, but what are some of the big quality of life improvements added in 5?
I gave my Lili the name Lili after Li Li, and like the first NPC I see is Lili
It feel like it has regressed besides having more icons for the map and all classes being unlocked right away.
...
>ara ara dark elf
>next to no porn of her
I blame the default Warlock portrait for taking all the attention
Really? I feel like it's been streamlined in that good way. It cuts the fat and the newer skill system is actually kind of nice, though it's a slog at the end of the second stratum waiting for the new skills. Some more portraits and more difficult FOEs would be nice, but the game seems pretty well balanced.
I enjoy the dungeons and grinding
I only have one loli on my team. Fight me.... or tell me how to beat the golem.
golem is immune to binds/ailments. You are supposed to trick it into fusing with bound/ailmented Golemlets to hold it off while you hit it with line/area attacks. Kill while paralyzed for conditional
Maybe use some spoiler tags for others' benefit user.
Also that conditional is dumb as hell.
ailment conditionals aren't really that bad except the obligatory "kill with curse damage" bullshit in every game. The ailment items are actually reliable finally so you don't need to rest when you go for refights
I've never played an EO game before starting EO4 about a week ago.
Should I finish it or is EO5 a straight upgrade and should I just play that instead?
No reason to not finish EO4 if you're enjoying it, it's not a bad game.
play both my dude
They needed to calm down with the overworld bullshit
it was cool in 3 as a side game but ridiculous in 4
Race/Class/Portrait customization is good now but they could really over do it
One thing about Etrian is you can form a party and be in playing the game pretty quick
Other Wizardry Clones have this massive timesink of character creation before you even know how to play the game
I'm having way more fun with Dragonball Fusion and Monster Hunter Story than this shit.
Please help me name my guild. I bought the game yesterday and have been looking at this screen for hours. Please help me.
EOV is a return to a more traditional EO form with one bigass dungeon. By all means finish IV, especially since it's one of the stronger post-games in my opinion, and if you enjoy it consider picking up V.
What overworld stuff in 5?

No you aren't.

I was trying to come up with a name that'd fit a team of adventurers. My wife suggested Seekers. It's my best candidate so far.
>EO games
DICKS
There isn't one, at least as far as I've gotten. It's more of a call back to the original games, with all the focus on the main labyrinth, and some very well designed floors.
That's the point, 3 had a sea map as a sort of puzzle side quest, but 4 took it way too far and made it the central game mechanic. I want to traverse dungeons, not fly all over the place dodging massively overleveled FOEs farming food.
What'd you name your guild, Sup Forums?
Freikugel
Oh, I thought you were saying 5 regressed (I took it as a negative) because of overworld.
I kinda personally liked the overworld in 4, the side dungeons were a cute disconnect to add extra floors to dungeons while also keeping them separate. I can understand why someone wouldn't like it though.
Still deciding. Ive been thinking about it for the past year and still havent made up. Is this what autism is?
I don't mind the overworlds but them taking resources away from the main dungeon sucks.
If you want to copy, just look at the best WoW guilds: wowprogress.com
Tend to have simple one world names like Method, Midwinter, Serenity, Limit, Easy
Etrian has better gameplay than most of those others because it's made by the most talented turn based RPG company in the world.
Guild name has been Argonaut for the past ten years.
I think with the combinations of the side dungeons, each stratum felt the right size.
The first two Stratums definitely felt tiny though
And the fifth stratum was one fucking floor, plus all of the areas that are usually saved for Dragon backtracking.
Honestly only the Libraries were really good. But the Libraries were REALLY good.
Someone's done the math before and EO4 did end up having a significantly smaller amount of dungeon compared to past games.
I really like the libraries
Ice cavern was also kinda rad with the hot/cold element.
I'll agree with the 5th stratum though, it was pretty lame. Post-Game Stratum is really good though imo, lots of backtracking but it felt meaningful and I liked the design.
Shouldn't it be plural for a guild? 'Argonauts'
>NY Giant are playing the New England Patriot
An overworld sounds nice, but functionally it means they just took out floors and threw them elsewhere. This requires you to go back to town between each.
Its not the worst change, but it does break up gameplay. The game excels when you're in a dungeon for a long time, because TP becomes a limiter more than HP. Having a bunch of 1 floor side dungeons degrades this aspect.
>She is way cuter than Teach
No, she's not
>mfw trying to read my own map after a teleporter maze
>The game excels when you're in a dungeon for a long time, because TP becomes a limiter more than HP.
I would agree with you if not for the fact that there's an abundance of shortcuts to the floor entrance and food pretty much negates a lot of those TP issues in V.
>There are a million "Wizardry Clones"
There really aren't.
>90% of those in japan are so shitty they never even get translated to america
And those 90% are basically 90% of Wizardry clones globally.
Maybe ask your wife's son too.

I think 4 has a way better cast than 5. 5 easily has the worst designs as a whole.
should I go
Dragoon
Mas
Pug
Botanist
Necro
or
Dragoon
Mas
Fencer
Shaman
Rover
?
The series revolves around making your party work together instead of just well enough individually.
Status ailments are actually useful.
Sexy lolis
I'm playing the top formation and it's fun. There's also synergy with Necromancer's Grave ability and Dragon Roar
Didnt you ask this like 3 days ago
Dragoon+Botanist as tank/healer seems the most straightforward setup
Dragoon
Mas
Pug
Botanist
Necro
Basically what i use for now, seems okay. I swap out Pug for a Warlock if I really need more elemental damage
The first one if you want to abuse the Dragon Roar + Grave bullshit combo.
Second one is a lot more balanced, though I'd drop the Masurao for a Warlock. This is the first EO game where the default wizard class is actually good and scales well the whole game due to all of the multipliers, also it works well with a Chain Fencer and Shaman.
Goldenmane
No.
I want to keep the Masuro for reasons, is all. What's the dragon roar combo?
If this post is a 5 you must name your guild Wolken
