EMD2 annoys me, but I'm looking forward to this soundtrack.

Wow, I was not expecting Phantom Decisive Battle to make an appearance at all. I wonder if it or other unused EO3 tracks will feature in EO3U if it gets made? EOU did that, so there'd be precedent.
I finally updated the EOV blurb of the OT, although I've been out of the loop on news outside of skimming this thread so if there's anything else important to mention there let me know and I'll slot it in.
Dandy, if you wanna whip up another image for the game similar to the rest, just send it (or the link) my way. For now I at least got a picture of the game's cover instead of the art originally used from the first announcement.

Aye aye!
Now I've just gotta find some exciting features about EOV cause I've hardly followed the actual gameplay of the title.
Let's see...
Also you're still missing EMD2 lol.
- Improved character customization and voice options
- Class specialization system with 2 different trees per class
- Racial skills and reclassing for multiple race/class combinations
- Improved events and stuff (I haven't followed this closely cause spoilers so I'm not sure what exactly they did)
- Dragoons are the best class
Also you're still missing EMD2 lol.
I forgot that was even a thing. Still traumatized by that battery dying and wiping my party out in EMD1 and never going back to the game after that lol...
Okay, got the EMD2 entry added to OP, as well. Any other deets I need to add let me know.
Don't mess with them kangaroos, they'll bop ya good. Early-game FOEs in EO4 are designed to mess you up lol.

I just retired after unlocking subclasses, and I'm totally squishy again lol.
What's your build?
Most of the time with landsknecht, fortress, dancer on the front row and sniper and medic at the back. No idea if dancer is considered to be any good, I just liked the idea of having a bit of extra healing

Swap Dancer for Runecaster on the back line and that was my party. I found that putting as much into Patch Up was bigger for me than other healing, I didn't max out Healing or Line Heal and it worked just fine.
Dancers are great but they don't shine until a little ways into the game. I 100%'d EOIV with a Fortress/Nightseeker/Dancer | Runemaster/Medic party so I'll vouch for dancer!

"Last EO game for 3DS using bottom screen to draw map is in development but not announced yet."
Pretty much confirms ReEO3?

Its either EOVI or EO3 Remake. I could see an EO3 remake where the bring in a bunch of stuff from the other games, considering the nature of the game. Since you are based in a trade town, it would be easy to bring any of the classes from other games in, and you can explore around to find areas similar to previous games.
Either way, "last title in the series that uses the bottom screen of the Nintendo 3DS to draw the map" is an odd way to word it. It implies that the game would be the EO3 remake, since it wouldn't make sense to remake EO3 and not have its mapping system back, but it also sounds like they are still considering making more EO games on the 3DS. Then again, an EO3 remake may be a good way to test the waters on a different mapping system, since it should be easier to make than a brand new game. Who knows, I'm just babbling now.

Like I said in the other thread, the mapping as is has gotten hackneyed. I care about the party building and combat.
For the record, I see people baffled at my hiatus from the series post EO3. I had a car wreck and serious financial woes for the past few years, so I only started truly playing video games this year. That's why the dude with an EO user name missed the 3ds generation, lol.

Etrian Odyssey is more than just the mapping mechanic. The series could survive without it and still be Etrian.
Also I'm hoping for EO6, over EO3U. But I'd still be excited for a 3U.

The series can survive past the DS/3DS, the party building and the puzzle filled labyrinths are what make the series truly stand out.
As for the mapping there's plenty of ways that can be worked around. Let's say it continues onto the Switch, auto mapping when docked with touchscreen mapping in handheld mode would be my first idea if I were developing it. Auto mapping is not new to the series, and a map menu could still allow us to set icons and notes when docked.
Otherwise, the phone app idea I've seen a few people suggest could also work. Though I don't think it would be as elegant. Whatever they do, I imagine that we will at least be able to place icons and notes since that's the most important part, but I expect they would want to give us something more than just that.
But who knows!

It's a big part of why I love the games. I know it's petty, but I'd love for it to live on on the 3DS forever.

Ebten? I wonder if Index used that site before SEGA acquired them. Merchandise crossover between Atlus and SEGA's gonna be huge soon.
I think it's kinda expected. Not sure how many people wanted this game in the first place.
Yeah they made quite a big deal about how this game was also meant to be a celebration of the franchise's 10th anniversary.
Let's hope it's just a sign that most people didn't like the Mystery Dungeon formula and/or are tired of this generation, not that they're sick of Etrian Odyssey itself.

If EOU3 is the one to fail to make it to the west I'll be devastated. EO3 has my favorite music and setting.

I wish EMD had some kind of redeeming feature such as a good story. Otherwise it's just a remix album.
Apparently the ending of EMD2 was outsourced, and it's so bad that it manages to stand out in a series not known for its story.
Also, there's a glitch that can cause to permanently lower your stats by accident. Presumably, you could keep doing it until your character has 0/negative attack (whichever the game allows for).

What do you mean outsourcing the ending? Like different writing team?
Also how bad is it?

Y'all are gonna have to tell me how they handled the voice options for the characters.

downloading the demo now. Had to jump through hoops to find it though
Where is it? I'm on my last nerve trying to deal with 3DS eshop.
edit: nevermind saw the other thread. Search for Etrian Odyssey V specifically to get it.
