Also, Glad To See This Is Finally A Reality In EO3HD.

EO NATION WE MOOOOOOOOOOVE

a musical adaptation of etrian odyssey would be absolutely terrible

some of the class-specific shortcut hints aren't very good.

Hello, may I ask what the tree frog method is?

It's a dangerous, ancient technique - capable to be tamed only by the masters of Etrian Odyssey 1 and--

It's this:

On a more serious note: Certain enemies in EO1 can call for reinforcements for an infinite amount of times. You can actually abuse this mechanic and keep one alive for the sole purpose of having more enemies to kill - thus more exp.

Treefrogs aren't the only enemies who can do this, but it's called that way because on Expert/The DS version they were the perfect balance between an easy enemy to fight and a high amount of exp per kill (700~ per frog). With the addition of Picnic mode in HD, not only is it much easier to beat them while (heavily) lowering the risk of dying, but the exp gain and exp cap are both raised to 1k per frog and 32k per fight respectively.

And if you're curious, 32k experience is a guaranteed level up until Level 67 (out of 70).

Not only that, but I'd argue there's an even faster method for leveling up involving the Immoa enemy in the 4th stratum due to them giving way more exp per kill. If people didn't farm those in the original, it's only because they were much more dangerous than treefrogs - an issue that isn't present in HD due to Picnic mode.

Soo yeah: Leveling up in EO1 is very easy to do (even without this strat), and in fact HD makes mechanics like retiring resetting your level almost a non-issue when you can get a character at max level in around 30 minutes tops (or around 3-4 hours if you decide to max a whole, nine-characters guild).

You didn’t have to break my heart on a Wednesday like this….

This is screwed up, ATLUS—what the hell??

Me Going Insane Over a Game I was Teased but has Yet to Come

(People are free to ignore if ya’ll aren’t interested. But I need to get this off my chest.)

It still drives me insane that, despite Atlus dropping a major hint/teaser about Etrian Odyssey 3 Untold, no one ever talks about it.

This showed up on a poll that was linked on their twitter about which of these games fans wanted to be made/brought over a couple years back. I voted in it, for the EO3U to be made and come to the USA.

(For those who can’t read it, the title says “Etrian Odyssey 3 Untold: Wayfarers of Armoroad”)

But it has yet to come. And EO3U wasn’t the lowest one in the poll! That Cathrine game was!! (When I voted) And yet it’s shown up just fine!

It was in the middle upper area of the rankings. I was sure that meant it was gonna come out. I saw the top one (Persona) and the Bottom one show up, but where the hell is my Etrian game?!

I want it! I wanna play it! I want to see how they’ve added to the original and boosted the good things that it had at the start!

Playing the OG version is good, but I am a casual player and this thing kicks my arse regularly. Hands it to me on a silver platter. Which sucks as someone who loves playing games for their stories and seeing everything that the game has to offer. I have to fight tooth and nail for what I can, but I still have yet to finish the first stratum.

(Also, I deeply wish I had the tools that I’d grown used to using from the more recent Etrian games.)

It’s just… I really want to play the game with all the tools/refinement that their teams had put into the series with each new iteration.

(I am also very upset that Odin Sphere never came to Switch either. I wanted to try it since I don’t/didn’t have the one platform I could play it on.)

They’ve made it clear that they had stuff in the works for it, why else would they make a title and box art if they weren’t? I mean, Persona and Cathrine used the exact box-art from their poll in the final version!

Please ya’ll, spread this one around. Share this post off of tumblr. I feel like the only way this is gonna become real is if people make a fuss about it. Especially in places where you know there are people theorizing/talking about it.

There has to be some way to make this happen. And I want it to happen. (And I know other people want it too.)

i want another etrian odyssey game can you tell

I adore Etrian Odyssey’s OST’s, but the boss/final boss tracks kinda... fall flat, y’know?

Thrust the Sword with Pride in the Heart and Their Own Brand of Justice tho??? They go HARD

POV: The best character in the entire franchise comes to greet you and give you a gift.

HAPPY FOUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY ETRIAN ODYSSEY NEXT STAGE TEASER!!! GO ATLUS KEEP GIVING US NOTHING!!!!!
