So EO Nexus is just around the corner and nobody seems to be talking about it. Is anyone looking forward to it?

I heard the classes were way weaker than the games they were previously in before so that's not a good sign but im sure the game is still fine because its an EO game right?

It also looks like there's a secret class in the game you can unlock, not sure how to unlock it though although it could be many things like difficulty, story progress, or anything else.

>nobody seems to be talking about it

I can understand, the game is a whole bunch of reused assets afterall, though having played the jap version that's not really a problem for most of the game, it's the new dungeon that sucks

>the classes were way weaker

Depends, some got nerfed some got buffed, Pugilist especially got hit the hardest, god damn the fucked their shit up

>It also looks like there's a secret class in the game you can unlock

Sorry to disappoint but it's not an actual class, it just unlocks those 2 portraits for use as well as an accessory with 3 skills attached. There's several unlock requirements (similar to what you listed) and you have to get about half of them to unlock the class. Was pretty funny seeing the datamine discord circlejerk have a breakdown as they insisted they were cut content while someone else was posting pictures of it in game


46f5c2  No.16059298

Already played it. It isn't a complete disaster but it has a lot of huge flaws that really hurt it. For one, you don't unlock sub classing until way too late in the game. The ruins area that you visit at the very start of the game returns several times, and most visits to it are much longer than the returning strata since the ruins get five floors per visit as opposed to just three. Because of that, you go through a total of 25 or 30 (can't remember which) floors of just that ruin. The last two strata are just that ruin slightly reskinned and with slightly remixed music. You'll be very, very tired of the music by then so it's just a punch in the gut. Class balance is fucked, not to the same degree as in EO1 perhaps, but still bad. Some classes got massive nerfs from their last appearances (war magus, pugilist) and some (zodiac) just don't measure up to the strongest ones. What's worse is that they fucked up the balance deliberately in at least one case, with the hero class that is their attempt to put one of those stupid story mode classes from the Untolds in a classic EO. Heroes are both damage dealers and tanks, and make protectors pretty much useless. The returning strata are weak as fuck too, with many of them being generic starting forests and the remainder being some of the least interesting ones. None of the strata from EO5 return and no fifth or sixth strata from any game return, because they didn't want to spoil the old games for people who start with Nexus. So much for a crossover, huh?

Vampire isn't a real class, you just unlock an event by doing various other unrelated shit that gives you an accessory that increases your stats by 10% and turns your eyes red. It also unlocks the portraits you posted for use. It changes your force boost and break to the special vampire ones, which is a bad tradeoff in most cases because most classes benefit from their force boosts and breaks, and gives you a passive that heals you at night and damages you during the day.

Well that kinda sucks, thought for sure it was a neat new little class that would play something like a support/mage and any sort of blood-related skills. At least the portraits look good.

I hope the arcanist and war magus wasn't hit that hard, i really liked them and im hoping to have a subclass of those 2 things to see how well they might work together.

>Well that kinda sucks, thought for sure it was a neat new little class that would play something like a support/mage and any sort of blood-related skills.

Having another mage would be nice, because the game has too many classes that compete for the front row and not enough that want the back row.

>I hope the arcanist and war magus wasn't hit that hard

War magus is the worst class in the game, with the only other contender being pugilist. Arcanist is still strong as hell, though slightly less so than it was in EO4.

Well shit it's looking worse and worse every post i read, now im not even sure if i want it. Although i still enjoy EO games so i can probably find the fun in this one.

Is the Hero any good as a tank or does he need to subclass for it to work?


46f5c2  No.16059422

>>16059390

Like I said, it pretty much makes protector a pointless class. What protector does have is the ability to reliable cover a single unit or row. No party guard though, we can't have the dedicated tank class be actually useful now, can we? Hero has one attack that reduces physical damage for the turn and one that reduces elemental damage for the turn. These skills can stack with the hero's illusion copy. They have some other tank fuckery too, but those are the main ones.

Am biggly excited. I have been really busy this year and my five year old phone gets its battery killed by mobile games, so I am looking forward to digging my 3DS out again. I haven't been keeping up with this one much though, I just know it's a big send off for the series. Does this one have a "story mode" party as well?

No, but the hero class is essentially a story mode main character class. They even put the fuckers on the cover of the game, all four variations of them.

i'll be honest: the golem boss at the start of 5 pushed my shit in and there were so many good games that year i shelved it and never went back. It sits in a pile with Ever Oasis, SMTIV and Dragonball Fusions as "oh yeah, i guess i own a 3DS still" reminders of backlogs that might never happen. I want to get excited for this but the switch has made it real hard to go back to any screen smaller than a vitas.

EOX is like watching a great artist paint a nigger. You just want them to get it over with and make the next actually good thing. Make a Switch EO with lots of lolis that is as good as 3 and stop with the story classes goddamn.

I'm going in blind, haven't been paying attention to any news regarding it. As long as it's not like that dumpster fire that was Untold 2 I'll be fine with it, I've come to terms that the series will never reach the greatness that was EO3 again.

I have no hopes for the series in the future. Especially not if they're going to revive it as they've said. On a console it will almost certainly be flashier and slower. On a phone it will just be some gachashit. Not that I would buy a Switch anyway, after how Nintendo's been acting.

>Make a Switch EO with lots of lolis

Yeah, that isn't happening. They've been putting less and less lolis in EO. 5 only had one, the necromancer loli. No, the ugly dwarf things don't count. It's a miracle we got the lewd loli vampire in Nexus. We've gone from half the females being lolis to one token loli per game, quite possibly because they've been gunning for that wider audience. As if that wasn't obvious enough with shit like Untolds and voice acting.

>>16060772

I really liked the overworld thing 4 did, and the second strata was the most atmospheric one in the series. 5 is solid but I'm not too much of a fan of what they did with the classes. Untold 1 would be one of the best in the series if not for all the bullshit they pulled, like RNG grimoires and story mode-locked content.

But that failed, Untold 2 bombed, did it not? Crawlers never get a "wider audience". They'll have to stop doing that, or go full Fire Emblem faggotry, which I don't think is in them.

That party seems fine. The main thing about beating that boss is realising that you need to focus on killing the little golems, not the big one. Also remember to have the whole party defend when he's fully formed to tank his explosion.

Another useful thing is that although the big golem is immune to poison, the small ones are not, and if you can poison one of them it'll poison the big golem when it joins with him.

I've never used a rover so I'm not sure, but I think the dog is better at healing so you could try that and have the botanist focus on status ailments. I do remember that dodge fencers kind of suck, and you're much better off with chain attacks.

524540  No.16061467

>>16061123

That isn't too bad I think its better to get stuck in the beginning of the game then at the end because it saves you the trouble of having to build up a strong enough party for later and can just keep trying shit till it works. I respecced 2 of my main guys in stratum 4 and just destroyed the synergy my party had when i added a new member because I wanted to try out something new that wasn't hell slash. Haven't gone back

I've always anticipated a melee magic class for the front row that can also attack from the back. Something like a battle mage with a staff weapon, able to pull enemies from the back row to the front and stun locking enemies with strong attacks. Maybe have a combo point system specific to the class to increase damage. I just really like battle mage type characters, it wouldve been cool to see. I hope 6 is the one to do it.

EO IV was the cliffside atlus was preparing to jump off of with this series

the untold series were the death

EO V was the nail in the coffin.

the games are now another generic shitty baby game with no discernible features from the other 3000 shitty dungeon crawlers they pump out.

high difficulty was THE ONE THING the series had going for it, THE ONE THING that made it stand out, and that's been gone now for a long time.

just go play pokemon or whatever shitty baby game you like, what's the difference, seriously tell me how is this shitty anime dungeon crawler different now? you draw a map? why do that now when they added feature that makes it draw itself. retard. shitty retard game. gives you NO incentives to play on expert and NO incentive for drawing a full map yourself, no handicap at all for playing on casual. which the difficulties have been gimped too anyway. but you'll delude yourself into thinking it's fine.

I already own a 3DS so I don't have to give them more money, and unless Switch hacking has gone further than I think it still has paid online. I'm not buying any piece of shit console with paid online out of principle. Plus like I said I have no hopes for where Atlus will take the series in the future, so unless they somehow make an incredible new EO for Switch I have no reason to get one anyway.

>But that failed, Untold 2 bombed, did it not? Crawlers never get a "wider audience". They'll have to stop doing that, or go full Fire Emblem faggotry, which I don't think is in them.

Untold 2 sold poorly in Japan, but did alright in Burgerland because apparently they have zero standards. They still have a lot of the garbage they introduced with the Untolds in the newer games. There's still P2W DLC and a bunch of costumes. And before some faggot shill starts trying to downplay those, EO had none of them in the past. Why should I financially support games when they get kiked up? Then there's shit that they've been adding to basically merge the Untold and main series, like voice acting in the games where their vision was to, among other things, specifically not have voice acting and the addition of a deliberately unbalanced "main character class" in Nexus. If anyone tells you that the Untolds and the push for the wider audience didn't affect the main series, they're stupid or lying to you. The wider audience push really began with 4 anyway, with the addition of easy modes and removal of that "stupid beep boop music" that normalfags find so icky.

Also EO has gotten popular as fuck for something that started as a very niche game. IIRC Nexus, or X as the nips know it, was one of the most anticipated games there.

>>16061162

Amalgolem doesn't just retain the poison from the small golems, it gets any status ailment that the small ones have when they merge. It's how you get its conditional drop, by paralyzing a small golem and then killing the large one when they merge.

I just enjoyed the dungeon layouts and the classes/party building wasn't nearly as broken as the first game.

plus "The First Campaign" is god tier

Understandable, but I still think class locked sections are retarded especially once they started needing an entire specific party and one part locks a boss behind it

>the classes/party building wasn't nearly as broken as the first game.

It was even worse, playing without Hexer/DH is insufferable and playing with them trivialises the game, then you have classes like Landsknecht that are just worse than everything else with no niche reason to use them and Beast whose core skills are bugged and cripple them as a result

Hero is both a tank and damage dealer and can basically do everything as far as damage dealing is concerned. They have AoE damage, especially early on where other classes often have to unlock it. The have all three elements, with special mention to both shock spark for obliterating all those enemies that are strong against cut but weak to elementals as well as regiment rave for being their nuke skill. They can even help with healing the party just by attacking. This isn't even factoring in their after images. Maybe they fall off right at the end where people just create the most minmaxed parties possible, but for the entire rest of the game they're clearly stupidly powerful.

>>16066046

Reverse image search it and you'll find out. I'll be a little lenient on you since iqdb doesn't find anything, but you should know about saucenao by now.

>>16069306

Is this the translated game or just the old nip cia? It's called eox as opposed to Nexus so I can't tell. What happened to that one site where you could just look up various QR cores and scan them? Did they fix that and/or did the site get taken down? I can't remember what it was called.

Fatlus USA put a region lock on guild cards so it won't help you anyway

I didn't mean ingame QR codes, I meant for downloading games, DLC and such. Although since registering 100 different guild cards is a semi-requirement for unlocking vampires, we're going to have to go through that hell again if we want to unlock vampires without basically having finished the game already.

eo5 sucked, everybody complained about eou2 but at least that had a proper cooking system, rather than some tacked-on dialogue menu bullshit that acts like a clunkier version of an item store.

eou1, it's 1 with better quality of life features

personally i felt the airship in 4 was way better than the ship in 3

>>16061011

made the right choice, 5 is garbage. i've never given up on any eo game until 5. it was probably the sliding puzzles in the 5th stratum that did it.

>>16061123

git gud

>>16061481

you are wrong, eo is far superior to the average dungeon crawler trash, but i will agree that eo5 was bad

labyrinth of refrain was decent, it's no eo but still enjoyable

yuzo koshiro is part of what makes eo an outstanding series, other dungeon crawlers just can't compete in terms of sound effects, let alone music

U2 is the absolute worst game, a hamfisted "cooking system" that didn't need to exist, balance getting fucked with because "lmfao boost mode is kewl". Especially given that 2 classes are story mode exclusive, and one is so absurdly overpowered it doesn't even matter. Even without the god awful predatory DLC the game is the worst EO game.

5 had a ton of faults, but it was a new game that at least had to try to do something different as opposed to fucking up a rerelease

Remember that bug in Untold 2 where the game would constantly mute the sound when someone was supposed to speak, even if you had voices set to off? You had to activate voices and turn them off again every time you loaded the game to fix it. They fixed this bug in EO5. It's back in Nexus. They still haven't fixed it in the localized version of it.

So does Nexus have an FM OST? is that what the BGM option on the title screen is for?

Not to my knowledge.

>is that what the BGM option on the title screen is for?

If it's what I'm thinking of, it's just the sound test that you unlock after finishing the game.

And people try to claim that voice acting in EO isn't cancer.

damn. Also does Nexus have a skill simulator like the previous games got?

The cooking system has been in the EO series since EO4 and is fine itself since it's just a minor boost. And EOU2 has objectively the best cooking system. It's fun, unique, world builds, comes with a fun city building side quest.

There's a lot of stuff you could complain about in U2, but if the cooking system is one of them you just have terrible fucking taste. The EO5 cooking system isn't just a step back from that one, it's a step back from the very first one in EO4.


44457f  No.16089978

And it is bad in every single EO game, the cooking system is fucking bad in general, and U2's was the worst of it.

>And it is bad in every single EO game, the cooking system is fucking bad in general

The cooking system is fine in most games, it's literally just a small (optional) bonus you can have before you head out into the labyrinth, and unlike stuff like the Fafnir or Boost/Break, the game isn't balanced around exploting the cooking as much as possible so it's easy to ignore if you want to. I can get not caring for it but hating it seems over the top.

>and U2's was the worst of it.

OK then, how is it the worst then? Articulate exactly how this system is worse than EO4's, EO5's, and Untold 1's cooking systems. I am eager to hear how those are superior, either that or an apology because you know you can't defend that bullshit point. There's no fucking way anyone with a brain could say U2's cooking system is worse than U1's or EO5's.

It takes more time, that's how it's worse. For some bullshit that I barely want to bother with in the first place it taking more time to set up and having bigger buffs makes it worse

5 is automatically the best EO because it's the only modern game to actually adhere to the original design philosophy of scarcity and compromise.

Bugs/imbalance aside, in EO1 it's impossible to create a party that can effectively handle every situation, there will always be some dreaded encounter waiting around the corner. EO3 may be amazing, but subclassing absolutely raped the careful design of the first 2 games.

EO5 also strips the series back to what made it so fun in the first place (dungeoning) and does away with all the cruft that has accumulated since then (overworld, story mode). It was an homage to the true spirit of EO and was rightly recognised as a good game because of that. Meanwhile Nexus ended up being average at best, it gave the people everything they called for, but not what's actually good for them.

Really my biggest issues with EO Nexus so far is the returning class selection has way too many attacking class and not enough anything-else classes, and there are way too many 1st Woodland Labyrinths


d2a8cf  No.16094224

I have been wondering, are the EO games standalone, or should I play them chronologically? I plan on giving them all a shot, but I just got a copy of Nexus and have yet to complete the first EO game.


c6b208  No.16095399

>>16094224

They have basically no plot and are all unrelated so you can play them in whatever order you like. But Nexus is kind of a crossover of the whole series, bringing back classes and dungeons from each game, so you probably don't want to play that before playing the other games.
