EOIV's mascot wasn't blond~
It's nice to have the classic collection of classes boxart again.
Half of the EO4 mascots were blond!
You seem satisfied.
I'd be even more satisfied if we got to see Shishou~
What if Shishou is an unlockable character again?
Yeah that's what I'm hoping for~
Yep, it's a good sub for mid-game but N/A will still land ailment throws more reliably. When you hit postgame you will probably want to switch to N/A because you will need your debuffs to land more reliably than you need them to before then. Then once your team is 99 and your N is pimped out with gear and stat books (99 luck) N/B becomes really scary again.

Discounts on digital Atlus titles published by NISA in Europe. A good opportunity (which may very well be your last) to pick these titles if any of you haven't done so yet.

I would not be opposed to a modern or near future style setting for an EO game honestly.
They could get really creative with the classes and dungeons. Though they could easily work in some cyberpunk dungeons without it feeling out of place right now.
Turn the difficulty down and kill the dragons over and over. Use the XP up food near one of the dragons and the XP plus Burst skill.
Go hunt golden foes in the postgame dungeon. And zone in-and out of the last land to try to proc shiny overworld foes, too, because they're not too difficult if you're able to beat all 3 dragons and they yield good exp. That's where you farm the item you need for Formaldehyde so it's two birds with one stone.
And/or do auto-leveling while you sleep. The small cave with the ice cubes and the bat FOEs in the snowly land is a good place because none of the enemies have any especially dangerous attacks or ailments to throw at you. It won't be fast but you'll be asleep so you won't care.
Also if you haven't fully explored the postgame dungeon, you should go work on that because it will give you lots of exp and good materials for the best weapons and accessories (besides boss drops).
Dragons are also great exp if you don't mind the tedium of resting at the inn over and over to make them respawn.
Be sure to use exp boost food whatever you do.
Edit:
So it would be like Operation Abyss, except good?
Make it happen, please.
That's what I want to see, even just as an experiment.
The thing is that once/if they make that leap, would they then be able to go back to the type of setting EO has been accustomed to until now? I feel like if an EOVI came out and it had a modern city setting, every EO game from that point on would either need to follow in its footsteps or also take dramatic shifts in setting.
I wonder if it'd encroach too much on the settings of other tent-pole Atlus series, and if they'd be okay with that. I'd love to see how an urban setting EO game would be like, though.

Heads up: EOV is available direct from amazon jp shipped outside japan. It wasn't before. For the few with homebrew/ JP 3DS.
It doesn't have to be a numbered game. There's the Untold games for these kinds of things.
That's true, spin-offs are a good way to be creative like that.
says it all when the game's most challenging aspect was seeing it to the end. you already fucked up when your rpg battles are a nuisance. still giving stranger a chance for the art, but you only get three strikes~
i thought the new 7th dragon was cyberpunk?
All of the 7D games have been modern day from the second one on. It actually did what everyone's been describing.
Huh, first time a guy or at least, one most would take as male has been on one of those covers.
The extra class portraits DLC is great to have, though I don't remember if it was free for only a limited time. The money/experience/grimoire DLCs might also come in handy if you get stuck. As for dungeon DLC, that might be the "Original Sin" super duper postgame boss - in case the regular postgame boss isn't enough of a challenge.
Portrait DLC is free.
So there is another boss which is even harder than post game boss? Damn. Will see if I get it, so far haven't beaten any superboss.
The exp/gold/grimore dlcs are timesavers more than anything. If you feel you dont want to do lots of farmer runs and grind some levels for them the DLC will help a lot.
For grimores there are more of a cheat if you use it early in the game but high level grimores are doable in the late game, so its mostly a time saver

That lollipop is moist.
Best grill.
That's not Selena though.
There's a reason why Oboro is one of the most popular characters outside of the royals.

Always dug the artwork on the bonus soundtrack covers. Very cool stuff.
Want for a modern day Himukai game increases.

He'd kill on some sort of SMT spinoff or something.

Indeed. That would be cool if eventually an EO game or at least a spinoff goes in that direction just once. Since the artwork with the more modern look really is fantastic.
Is she now? Yay!

New box art:
Oh good can use this for the OT maybe. Which reminds me I need to go digging around the official page.
Yup, she consistantly ranks high in polls both in Japan and the West, and she's the only non-royal 1st gen to get her own cg art in the DLCs. And it's not hard when you're a well developed character with multiple facets in a game full of caricatures. Also spear fighters are amazing.

Man I need to turn the game back on and see what kind of DLC is available now.

Thinking about buying Untold on the 3ds since now it's very cheap. Never played an etrian odyssey but I like the idea of forming a party a tackle enemies with good tactics. I'm not really fond of the "draw your map" thing but I've seen that there's a complete automap (tiles and walls) that can help since you have to put only the logos/notes for yourself and not stopping drawing walls every few steps.
Is a good place to start for a novice?
