EO always had broken classes you stupid faggot, EO1 medic reduced 85% of all damage, EO2 hexer had insane DPS with revenge, EO3 ninja and shogun were an unstoppable duo, EO4 imperial; it's always been there. This doesn't even sound too bad since hero is suppose to be a jack of all trades, which means it'll probably be weaker than the specialized classes.

Simply compare the portraits. Almost all the males in 5 are faggy traps and there is exactly one loli portrait (necromancer). The earlier games also had androgynous men, but not nearly as many and they generally had more obviously male builds or facial structures.

The concept is an "festival" celebrating the history of EO, 19 classes are in the game, 18 from previous games and a new class called hero that's a jack of all trades. Previous NPCs are returning and there's a world map that fatlus is boasting to have the most labyrinths ever in an EO game, optimal stratums to explore, some new ones and some older dungeons from previous games with new twists. What that means isn't determined yet but I'm pretty excited to see what's in store, thankfully fatlus didn't decide to do EO3U as their swan song.

It's partly git gud, and partly look up the skills online to learn the exact numbers. EO doesn't really require to grind at all before postgame, you just need to build a party that synergizes well and can cover all bases.
As for the fish, I think it's weak to lightning. Your zodiac and arbalist can both handle that, and the princess's Prevent Order skill can block his blind effect.

Use a row-hitting attack. You did put a point in your elemental ones on the arbalist, right?
>Party was gladiator, monk, arbalist, zodiac and princess. Is it just keep grinding and try again, or if it just feels overwhelming am I not suited for these types of games?
Your party has no tank, two healers and two glass cannons (gladiators can usually take a hit at least). It's perfectly possible to beat the game like that but if you want to make it easier, replace one of your healers with a tank. Probably the princess; once you unlock subclassing, M/P is far superior as both a buffer and healer. You should also make your farmer team (you DO have a farmer team, right?) gather a all types of materials available and try to take down any FOEs you're capable of in order to unlock new equipment. Also create an extra of each class and put all their points in combat study. That way they will keep gaining exp while your main party kills shit in the labyrinth, up to half of what they gain once the skill is maxed. If you want to be super efficient you can make a farmer team and put all their points in combat study for now, and a second farmer team with points in the gathering skills. Once the combat study team has gained enough free levels to get the gathering skills, you can get rid of the other farmer team.

Okay, this is good info. I didn't have a separate farmer team, just a few specialists (farmer, miner, herbalist IIRC) that I would take on runs to the stratum collection points. I didn't see the point of setting up a separate team for all this, I thought it would be more efficient to have just one specialist per run with your normal team so they have no risk of dying. Also this combat study must be something I've completely missed up until now, I have to check it out.

b312c9 No.14702132

Gladiator is a class that takes huge risks to do huge damage. Their class description mentions that they avoid heavy armor in order to show off their muscles. They can usually take a hit or two due to good HP and VIT, but they are not anywhere near as defensive as hoplites. You may have noticed that they don't have any defensive skills, for one thing. They also lose 90% of their HP (in order to get a 90% damage buff) with the best damage buff in the game, which is slightly inconvenient for a tank.
The real tank class is fairly obvious just by looking at the portraits. Also EO doesn't really play by MMO rules, tanks are about reducing and redirecting damage (and in many of them taking damage in place of the team, but not in 3). Support classes are very strong since binds and ailments work even on bosses, though they're a bit weaker in 3 due to the main shutdown class, wildling, being subpar. Also use buffs and debuffs, they're extremely important.

There's no grinding, leveling gives a small shot at boost and a skill point; party comp, equipment, and skill synergy is much more important and using skills smartly during battles is the key to any victory. Standard team is 1 tank, 1 healer and rest DPS/support but you're free to mix and match whatever comp you want. If it's your first time playing you'd want a standard party though, be sure to have a patry that covers all status and binding bases for an easier time. Also you should look at the skill stats online and plan beforehand, the skills descriptions in game are very unhelpful and vague, good luck.
72592c No.14704073
>>14703734
Here's the thing. People confuse a need to grind in RPGs for their lack of understanding for the game's mechanics, incompatible builds, or bad decision making. The biggest problem with these games is that the skills don't truly tell you what they do so you don't really know what you're investing into. Like when does diminishing return start or what percentage of damage does this skill actually reduce? But even if you somehow fuck up a build the games gives you enough breathing room to still beat the game with a bizarre team.
The biggest problems I see people have with RPGs is that they don't utilize the tools given to them. They don't properly manage their resources and burn through their MP without much thought. They don't properly manage their team's HP and only heal when they're low on health causing many people to get team wiped when the boss uses a full screen spell (or get into the cycle of constantly reviving the healer for them to immediately die again). They don't look for a pattern or reason why a boss might do a certain move. Even worse they don't plan 2-3 turns ahead and wonder why they are getting destroyed once the boss powers up.
One good thing to do is always buff yourself and debuff the enemy. The less you have to heal, the more damage you can dish out. Defense is almost always a better option than offense unless there's some sort of DPS race that needs to happen due to enemy regen or nuke attacks. This especially works in a game where your resources are nearly infinite like in Final Fantasy.
Now for Etrian Odyssey, levels actually play a pretty noticeable difference. From what I've seen, it can really influence your evasion, accuracy, and damage dealt/received. But this is more of a system to balance out having smaller teams. Smaller team will have to spread less EXP and be higher levels causing them to gain many benefits for the exchange of less tools to flex around. However, strategy and good decision making will carry you much further than levels every time. Running away is always an option and that small bit of EXP you gain isn't always worth it. Your first run through a new dungeon is mainly to map out the area and make shortcuts to resource spots. Once you grab those and make good gear, the dungeon begins to become much more tolerable.

You're blind, the males have clearly become more feminine with the exception of the few manly man portraits like the hulk pugilist. Back then, the guys had more masculine facial features and clearly larger builds compared to the girls. Even the more androgynous guys, like the blond survivalist. Now they dress like girls, have faggot bishonen faces, have pretty much the same builds as the girls, have feminine hairstyles and many of them wear the ugly poofy clothing that the artist loves now for some reason that hides any hint of masculine builds. And then there are the new "lolis", which are just potatoes where the males are completely indistinguishable from the females.

It sucks not just because the artist has gone for the fujoshit style and almost nuked lolis out of existence, his style has just become worse in general. Just compare these two male portraits that should be very similar. The old one has a much more masculine face and looks clearly male even despite the ponytail and v-cut shirt. The new one is a twink that could just as easily pass as a girl. Also notice the shitty overuse of shadows and extremely cluttered design; old Himukai used bold colors with clean designs that were much more distinctive and unique. More details doesn't necessarily mean better, and definitely not when it just makes the design a cluttered mess where you can't barely make out their limbs.

The Ronin could OHKO most enemies he came across and he had no armor. Only power rings so he could be fast and hit very hard.

It's the opposite for me. I never finish them because eventually I find out a strategy for my party that works for everything and then just dump a lot of points into the skills. Soon enough every fight is more or less the same so I drop the game out of boredom.
It's happened with 1, 2 and 3 so far. I've skipped 4 since I heard it was too easy, and I'm playing 5 right now.
FOEs are definetely easier in 5, you can kill all first stratum FOEs as you meet them with some strategy, which is actually cooler than the old system imo, since back then you'd just ignore foes entirely until you were overleveled and remembered about them, and then just steamroll everything.

It would certainly add the the "imagine your own story" tone of EO, making your party feel more like actual people. I'd buy it.

For those who have played or are playing EO5, did you use skill points on gathering skills on your main party, or did you, as in other EO games, make extra characters solely for gathering?

why would you ever do that?

Well, I figured that since in EO5 gathering skills required only 1 skill point as opposed to 5 like in the previous EO games, it wouldn't be necessary to make a gathering party like in the previous games. That was one of the aspects I least liked about EO 1 through 3.

My feeble understanding of game mechanics would suggest that it would be better to use food to direct character growth, rather than to stave off status debuffs.

I spread them about on my sole party. The game is easy enough to make it a trivial decision anyways.

That could work, but I'm thinking it would be reserved for more elaborate dishes. Could also have food that gives instant stat boosts but using very high quality and rare ingredients with the right cooking method. Preparing some food to eat on the go like jerky and ration packs to help starve off hunger, with the downside of none of the stat growth buffs as a freshly cooked meal gives is another idea. Relying solely on these though would be exhausting to adventurers mental state and would make them crave a nice cooked meal.

They give rare materials that you would otherwise not get, and the fact that they're 1 skill point now instead of 5 makes them pretty decent to have when you're not in a rush to unlock a skill. You don't really need a gathering party in EO5, just spread the points between your party members covering each gathering skill node and you'll be fine.

I'd picked up my old copy of EOII after all these years. Sitting on the 5th floor with a party of [Protector/Dark Hunter/War Magus][Medic/Troubador]
Realize I have no elemental support and no real prospect for it, and I probably am being too redundant with both a medic and a war magus as both are going down the healing track.
Going to just start over and work a fresh party. Thinking of going [Protector/Dark Hunter/Warmagus][Gunner/Hexer]. I usually just run a single party as opposed too managing a guild. One day I'll actually have a B team but I doubt it.

You can do fine without much elemental stuff in EO2. My first playthrough was War Magus, Protector, Hexer, Gunner, Medic. One point in each of the gunner's elemental shots should be enough to get throught the few phyical resist enemies.
That said, War Magus is a pretty bad class, especially as a healer becuase they have no resurrect and no way to remove staus ailments. Mine mostly just ended up casting war might on the gunner and acting as a crappy EP battery with cursecut. You'd definitely be better replacing it with a medic.

What part of super deformed do you not get? I feel like I have to have the same conversation in every Etrian Odyssey thread.

My goal with the magus is to work with the Hexer with the different affinity cuts and have that reinforce the Dark Hunter. I remember using Protector, Landy, Medic, Alchemist, Survivalist in EO1 and I wanted to try out some other classes this go around. Can't do without a defense class as I don't want to press my luck in the early levels. I'm feeling the thing about not having revive. Seems very lacking that no other class can do it this game.
I might have to run a B team as I also wanted to try out Ronin and Beast whenever I unlock it and at that point I could run a troubador and some other stuff.
I'm not the type of guy who uses a guide to plan out my parties for better or for worse. So a sub optimal team won't bother me too much as long as it works.

Loli is more about appearance than chronological age, the super deformed portraits from earlier games generally had a loli-ish look to them but have now been replaced with portraits that are more obvoiusly adults. The artstyle has shifted.
>>14714679
You're right about not using a guide, ultimately you should just find a team that you like.
>I might have to run a B team as I also wanted to try out Ronin and Beast
Beasts are great, it's like a protector that can also deal damage. Ronins are also excellent because they don't have to use up a turn switching stances like they did in EO1.
