I will forever thank my first Earthbound playthrough in High School for easing me into first person perspectives, I probably wouldn't have even given EO a second look otherwise.
Maybe I should do the same.
(´；ω；`)
So the solution is to make everyone play EarthBound.
I can get behind that.
Everyone should play EarthBound.

That's pretty much what happened to me, it made me appreciate Dragon Quest too.
Nerds are people too, darn it!
<3 First Person RPGs.
...dude-bros do not own the perspective, dammit!
You should just get a cheap 2DS.

This needs to be put in the OT of every EO thread or something. Every time I see the Fight and Heal joke I try to look up the original review and am disappointed that I can't find it. I do remember the Atlus USA email when they announced EO2 contained a reference to it. "Atlus U.S.A., Inc., preferred publisher of adventuring duo Fight and Heal"
Healsworth. Another can be O'Chaser.

My EO4 crew would have been named:
Block, Chase, Shimmy, Toss, and Shoot
Then:
Shielddance, Spellsword, Stunbuff, Poisonregen, Bindregen.

I loved my team in EO4:
Front: Fight, Knife
Back: Shoot, Magic, Heal
Can't wait to return to EOU classic and play with
Front: Fight, Whip, Block
Back: Heal, Shoot
Front: Fight, Knife
Back: Shoot, Magic, Heal
Can't wait to return to EOU classic and play with

I feel like learning about this GI review has changed my entire outlook on EO

yeah, we know already.
Thanks Playasia.
I never finished it, but some GAF members were saying it was better than EO and just..... really no.

Well it's not as good as EO but I'm having fun with it.
Yes, a lot, and it's even in the OP...
Heal^2
Yeah I thought about that. If NISA stops bringing the games over here that's probably what I'll do.
Beat the big bird in the moth area. Thing that brings me down a bit with some of these weapons is the time it'll take to get 6 more conditional drops to forge them
Edit: Does anything increase the strength of linked attacks? Wondering if runic flare would increase an elemental link attack.

Max out Runic Flare and Runic Guidance for free extra damage on link attacks, especially when you exploit a weakness. Once you get both these skills you can leave the Runemaster class alone for your Landsknecht.
But I prefer to sub Bushi for Power Boost and Blood Surge(Deep Breath and Surge Mastery are also nice) insanity, haha.
Meant the actual links themselves. Does runic flare increase the attacks for people doing the linked attacks?

EO3 took me around 24 hours so you're probably right, but the 3 endings + post game stuff easily takes you 10 or so hours AT LEAST.
I haven't had a chance to play so I'm still in the 3rd dungeon, I heard there are
5
And fuck Persona Q, tomorrow is Captain Toad day.

and I heard that the final dungeon is
9 floors long, remember that I have no idea if that's true but lol.
lmfao
fuuuuuck this. Gonna beat the dungeon I'm in right now and finish Advanced Warfare or something

yeah I found a post on gamefaqs that says:
a clarification, there's more than 25 total floors, the first dungeon has 4, the next 3 have 5 each, and the final dungeon has at least 9 (I'm not done it yet but 9 is the highest I've gotten so far)
He's counting boss floors but still, holy shit. And come on man, did you really believe the
there are 4 dungeons crap, IT SHOULD BE OBVIOUS THAT THERE WOULD BE MORE, that always happens.

I'm more surprised that there doesn't seem to be
any post game stuff from what I've heard, I hope there's some extra bosses or something. Also lol yeah, I was also like PLEASE BE A SHORT GAME!

I'd say it's around 25 hours long, EO3 main games is 20 floors long but there's extra stuff to do like getting the 3 endings, extra bosses, sea stuff, and the post game.

Beginning party decided to do something completely different and not get a GLD.
Mauricio the Princess
Zweizer the Hoplite
Ohlawd the Zodiac
Slice the Ninja
Narag the Monk
And thus it begins. I fear this team is offensively weak.

Yeah, that will be a weak team in terms of damage output. You can probably make it work for a while by using the monk as a damage dealer.
Don't forget to make extra team members ASAP and teach them the Combat Study skill and let them soak up exp from town. This is something unique to EO3, so it's not hard to overlook.

I totally forgot about that skill, thanks!
Put me on the bench, coach!
Yep, definitely offensive weak. Also very close to my own team at the start of my playthrough! Princess/Hoplite/Gladiator/Monk/Arbalist. By the time I reached the second boss, I could FEEL the lack of firepower. Still managed it just fine, but I could tell the game wanted me to be going in a different direction. I'd scrap the Monk and pick up an Arbalist if you're really intent on not getting a Gladiator. Princess won't have enough heals at the start, but you can spec a point or two into Bandage on your Zodiac plus some Medicas and you'll be good to go.
Not like it matters, though. Once you access the third labyrinth, you'll probably aim for level 30, retire your whole team, and start over again with level 15 recruits and a better team synergy. And likely turn your Princess into a Monk with a Princess sub. Because it's just plain better.

Turned Slice into a Buc. instead.
