I've been avoiding news about V like the plague because I want to get in blind, but I must ask, does anyone plan to make a patched .cia with the JP voices?
I'm buying the game anyway since I goddamn love the series, but I'd rather listen to those if you can't turn off voices.

Probably, dosn't seem like it would be a hard thing to do.
I just can't deal with voices, and have them turned off at all times.

It's almost guaranteed to happen.
People love their undubs, myself included.

EO2U got undubbed, so I'm sure that V will get an undub too. I do remember the undub breaking the DLC though, so hopefully they'll do a better job of it this time.

With a quick glance i've noticed the supposedly tank that is Dragoon does not have Taunt, so how is he supposed to tank? Spamming line shield?

It's just called Dragon's Roar now, and can be applied to any other party member, not just the Dragoon itself.

Dragoon's taunt can be cast on anyone, which means you can give it to a Cestus who can counter when attacked.

How long can a 1kat survive with maxed Dragon's Roar, their counter skill may be viable

As said you've got Dragon's Roar. You've also got the ability to construct bunkers which are structures that draw aggro.

Oh shit thats neat, are there any other interesting skills? I've used the wraith summon and it might help aleviate the aggro on the back row

I'm making my party now and I'd like to have a Botanist, but the potatoes just look too stupid.
Can I just take an Earthlain and then retool him into a Botanist? I'll mainly be using him to inflict ailments so I think the Earthlain Luck stat should help.

I made a harbinger soul gatherer for grinding but it's shit

I heard the Elf race is better for Ailment Botanists.

Nah, earthlains have luck and speed, so they're better.

What do you focus on necromancers? I took one point in poison bomb, rest are in summon wraith and that skill that summons if the necro doesnt get damaged.
On the same breath, what do you focus on harbringer? I just went for that full line attack and auto miasma armor.

Are dragoons actually meant to be used as front line tanks because at the moment my 2 front liners (on advanced) have all died in 1 turn to squirrel dive bombs.

if you don't have any aux armor you should be line guarding every turn squirrels aren't leg bound.

The shield skill if you don't have a dragoon is really good, soaks up damage and then it has the other two skills that may summon a new one.

Earthlains are better purely at inflicting ailments, Elves trade off a bit of luck for wisdom which is used in healing

also a much better TP pool.

Harbingers have the weakening skills and the auto miasma when you use them, those are great.

Why isn't this icon in the middle?

It is a mystery.

Because you'll see it spinning around in 4th and 5th floor.

>>How are you enjoying V
A whole lot, don't want to keep playing the demo though since i don't want to start ahead in the main game

>>What party are you running with?
<

>>Favorite class in V?
Necro became my favorite the moment i found you can summon wraiths off-battle

>>Favorite NPC?
Guild Master dude is a pretty chill dude

>>Least favorite thing about V
The draw distance

>> You playing any other EO at the moment?
Persona Q, still have Untold 2 to go through but i don't want to get burned out when V comes, but at the same time i have this huge DRPG craving and i knew Persona was inferior so i rolled with it anyway
With that being said though, V's demo completely ruined Persona Q for me

>but the potatoes just look too stupid

I'll cut you m8. They are cute.

>Painting under doors
You poor summer child

>What party are you running with?
Pug / Masu / Harb
Darg / Bot
I really don't get Harbinger, and I have no elemental damage. Should I switch him for Fencer or maybe even Warlock?

Fencer without someone to follow won't do shit about elemental damage

Ditch Botanist for Shaman.
You have enough survivability anyway with a Dragoon, and you'll gain access to elemental damage on the physical attackers.
Harbinger is alright, but requires a lot of investment just to keep Miasma Weapon up.

>not painting under doors
>when there's visible flooring under them

Those haircolours and names are pretty terrible. Like impressivly so.

PSA: Do not actually use Nene in your party.

>not painting under doors AND annexing them off using walls.

Disgusting.

You like the ponytail gal better?

I was enjoying it a lot, reached the second floor but because of homework I didn't play longer and now Samus Returns is taking my time. I currently have a Pugilist-Dragoon-Masurao/Necromancer-Botanist team but I also have the other 5 classes created. I've heard how good P+H is so I want to try that and knowing I can do a link team again with F+W is a nice thing coming from EOIV.

>Favorite class in V?
Pugilist, I love fighting clases. Being Dark Hunters on steroids makes them even better.

>Favorite NPC?
Jenetta. When I thought Dalla was the best innkeeper, this bunny comes and calls my chicken Nugget.

>Least favorite thing about V
The map icons. It is a bit inconvenient to have to drag the whole list when they could have simply had three tabs instead.

> You playing any other EO at the moment?
Was playing 2U but after finding out how fucking cheap Ur-Child is after several attempts, and after dealing with the infurating postgame bosses, I lost all drive to keep playing.

I like Ribbon more, but I wish she would smile like Nene.
My entire party looks either angry or disinterested.

This is how I make shortcuts. If there's a one-way shortcut, I don't fill it inn.
Putting up walls infront and back just makes it look ugly

I hate you.

My favorite thing about Etrian threads is people screaming at each other for not mapping like they do. Its just so absurdly hilarious thing.

>loli knight

Holy shit this is cute.

Where are the color tiles? I used blue tiles to denote water in previous games but I can't seem to find them in this game?

tap the box that says Color

I'm super tempted to start writing short stories about my party's sexually charged adventures.

...

There is a special kind of hell for people like you.

>tfw in etrian iv i marked shortcuts with doors and used the sparkle icon for all types of gathering points

That place is called heaven.
It's to show where I can go, and not go. When I unlock it, the green is where I can go

These games don't get on sale anymore do they?

I remember until Sega bought Atlus, the EO games went on sale every other month.

In 4 I used one symbol for each gathering spot, but I added a note saying what dropped on each.

Nothing wrong with that user, mark everything with anything you like, thats the point

Yeah, sales for EO are so rare. I think I had 1u on wishlkist for two years before it got on sale.

Yeah, in the demo there is an option where you can turn on or off the voices.

...

>filling in spots where you can't walk on

What the fuck man. You can't do this. It's against the rules.

You can turn the voices off in 5
There's a demo out if you want to start early

But I can walk there, it's just some more twigs in the way.

So by that logic, I shouldn't paint under doors?

I've been trying to come up with a second character since last night. I've decided on a Pugilist and Necromancer. Which of the little midget people should I pick?

Like IV think I am going to restart my run on the full version

Shaman, you don't need all the healing a Botanist offers.

But you do need the resurrection it offers.

Humans (via union skill), Necros, and Reapers can also revive.

>Humans
Which don't work outside of battle
>Necros, and Reapers
Yes, after their second name
Even if it's boring, a healbot the first part of the game is super useful, not to mention refresh/unbind.

Can't argue with that.
I'm just not a fan of the typical healbot class because they offer little utility once you get past the "oh god why is everything two-shotting me" phase.
I loved Princess, Warmagus, and Arcanist/Medic because they offered more than just keeping HP up.

If you are going for a Botanist it is better to reclass an Elf or Human in order to focus on smoke

I tried to get into EO starting with EOU1, but I was really devastated by the fact that English dub is terribly miscasted. Why loli is talking like a some granny? And it doesn't even have an undub after all those years. Was the game that bad?

With the reclass system do you get to keep the old skills that character had or does it just flatout change them?

It's basically a rest+reclass.

You're killing me user with those pictures.
Damn, I wish I had a daughter to cosplay her as a knight.

>tfw wraiths overwrite your poison with useless paralysis

Don't level up the skill that ups their paralysis then, blowing them up for skills is better than letting them attack.

Classic mode?

I love the town theme already. Saxophones are so damn nice.

You can easily spec Botanist into ailments (if you reclassed an elf into one). Not to mention that spec is more useful for ailment oriented teams.

Seconding the shield skill
May constant wraith army is bulking so many hits for me

And on that note, does MAT or any other stat actually influence the health of Necro's summons?
I'm not using her for anything but sending in a constant wave of shield wraiths
I consider their ailments to be a nice bonus and not much more

Correct
Doors are just magical teleporters that move you 10 feet forward

>Still cant find a way to unlocked the sealed doors on 1F and 3F after finishing the demo
> Have to get the Forest Honey from the hive on 3F
>Have to get grilled meat to trade with Bread Bunny

>Probably even more stuff that I havent even found yet

I didnt think there would be this much side stuff to after getting to the 4F stairs.

FLAT

You can't open them until you get the key WAY later on.

What did he mean by this?
