Etrian Odyssey V

>game had barely been out
>threads already dead and nowhere to be seen

What went wrong?

Too busy playing it.

Any good? Wondering this before I get too into the 4th EO on my 3DS.

Fundamentally? No.

Superficially? Sure, it's just EO with some new additions.

It's alright.

So basically if I like EO this is more of the same, but with some additions, might be cool.

Oh no no, if you've played any EO previously you'll hate this because it's just an inferior rehash.

It came out more than a year ago retard

>people see these games and still think its about cute girls going on adventures
>they dont realize its about cute girls getting thrashed horribly in the wilderness, being torn apart, turned to stone, eaten or crushed to pulp by monsters of every kind just because some asshole in town wanted them to find a special plant

Fug

Can I salvage this shitty party with secondary classes?

Fencer/Masurao
Botanist/Rover/Warlock

Despite having many interesting classes, it somehow feels even less replayable than the other games.

I already beat it and moved on

with how big peoples backlog is, i would think that is good.

>Fencer
>Botanist
>Warlock

I fucking taste the vanilla.

I chose my party based on how much I liked the portraits

Alter class you tard
I mean, a fucking warlock? Wow I picked a spell and the big numbers appeard11!1! SO unique.

Why are you so mad?

Too fucking easy, the game goes to shit if you pick a one hit meme pug or build around a fencer, hell, my fencer literally did 160 dmg on its first battle and my pugilist went from doing good damage to hitting 5 digits without struggling.
At least it wasn't as bad as EO4 though.

>There are now more easy EO games than hard

Why do teh casuals gotta come over to OUR HOUSE and take OUR SHIT for themselves?

...

Because the only way to make these kind of games sell is to make it so the average retard can spam skills and get big numbers on the screen.
Narmer and Ketos were pretty much harder than 80% of the bosses in EO5, and EO4 just tried to be something in between 5 and 3 and failed miserably, so they had to go with the powercreeping route.

>Narmer and Ketos were pretty much harder than 80% of the bosses in EO5
They really weren't, unless you used a party of Farmers or something like that.

EO5 bosses literally can't fight back even if you are using a really bad party setup, debuffs and binds all over the place at the start, and once they become resistant to it, you pretty much have your big guys armed doing amazingly big numbers for almost free.

Ketos and Narmer could fight back, add that to the fact you have pretty much no cheap good effective binds or good burst (other than charge combos) and they all cost high amounts of TP.

>EO5 bosses literally can't fight back even if you are using a really bad party setup
It's kinda hard to fuck up party composition in the 3DS games, the DS games only seem harder because they had classes that were flat out useless.

Ketos is best boy.

What is different about it and 4?I've kind of felt like picking it up, but I've played all of the others and this is how it goes;
>Play and progress as I can
>Get to a point where I have to grind to comfortably progress
>Create auto-route on map
>Set up something to hold the A button down
>Have Alchemist with the ability to turn tossed items into money (optional)
>Let sit for hours until maxed out or levelled well enough
>Actually play the game

You do have a b team of farmers to get you those mad marijuana crops right Sup Forums?

Not necessary in V. V also has the best stratums outside II

Not necessary, but I still have one out of tradition. I even play that shitty we are farmers song on loop whenever I bust them out to comb a stratum.

There's no dumb airship system. The dungeons are more interesting to explore

Honestly I'm not feeling it as much as the others. I'm in the fourth stratum and I haven't played in about a week. Maybe I'm just getting bored of my team, because I've been using it the whole time. Usually I'd work in one of the secret classes to my team, but 5 has no secret classes. What a huge disappointment that was.

Hippogryph gave me more trouble than any boss in any other game, except for the super bosses.

He hates elves numbskull.

>cheap sd card broke
>replacement arrived but already too invested in other games I started
I really hate that you need to gather rare materials to buy recovery items in EO but because I'm able to jump back to any floor (and have so much food) I never seem to need any.

Maybe if you reclass your Fencer to be a dodge tank, but you're going to have problems tanking things. This game is kinda hard to give specifics on since a lot of team comps work. My current team is

Masurao/Punchtits/Harbinger
Necro/Shaman

Necro tanks, Shaman heals and the frontline does status and damage. This team is pretty unfocused, so I'm expecting some trouble later on.

Game is alright, it has some design changes that I don't agree with though. Like the menu with the small icons and map elements being on the draggable menu instead of two pages.

Are the racial skills that raise your stats and resistances worth it?

Also it's going to be hell to upgrade four weapons for 4kat when I unlock titles.

Holding off on playing it until I finish EO2U, but I played through the first floor. Really enjoy the little events that give you experience.

Also feel like the summon classes are really unique. I especially like the necromancer. I don't get why it's shit on.

>been parked for a week unsure what to make my titles

>We. Are. Farmers.
>Dum dadum dum dum dum dum.

Do you guys upgrade every weapon you get? It's not bad with regular weapons but it gets tedious with FOE-weapons.

You should be fine, at most you might need to change masteries. Did the same team but with a warlock instead of masurao and I'm at 6th stratum boss now.

It's shit on because it's so good it breaks the game. Try dragon roar + grave combo for instance.

It was honestly kinda boring and way to same-y. After playing all four mainline games and Untold 1(skipped 2), I had to force myself to finish it. Honestly looking forward to EO coming to the Switch

etrain odyssey untold 3 when mein negroes ?

I don't think I can stomach another EO game for at least a year or two

>went two dragoons, pugilist and katanarama
>apparently this is broken tier
If you wave in front of me, gunner shields, luchadors, and a walking blender, im not going to say no

>grinding in EO
You're doing it wrong

Racial skills that raise your relevant stats and vit are worth it. It's a pretty sizeable boost and it gets stronger as you level.

>alter class
>portrait stays the same
What the hell? This cant be right

>beat Hippogryph on my first try yesterday
>currently at the point where I can kill red FOEs on the floors I find them
It feels like I'm far too powerful for the point of the game I'm at. I blame the stat scale change, Chain Blast and summons allowing F R E E tanking of mechanics, particularly bunkers trivialising anything that isn't full party or line pierce.

>He didn't alter class to attain the most optimal stat spread for their designated role!

HAHAHAHAHA

Oh fuck, you're like the faggots in DCSS who pick a High Elf for their "aptitude in Long Blades"
