I've got to keep my crew fully outfitted with the best gear as it unlocks, otherwise I feel like I'm letting them down by pushing them into the labyrinth with 5 less attack power or something. If money's tight, I'll prioritize gear for the front line and try to make up the rest by farming resources.

How are you enjoying the new battle theme~?
It's pretty good.
Your post made me remember I'm using the old bgm in EO2 and still havent heard the new sounds in game.
Towering Pair's new version is way better. That's about the only track that I thought was a real upgrade from the originals. Most of the rest sounds fine in either mode.
In Untold 2, which has the strongest selection of non-battle BGMs in the series, I like a lot of the new renditions, but Cherry Tree Bridge tune loses some of its distinctive base line in the new version which is a real shame.

They made the songs much longer. Inspecting the Resounding has a new part that reminds me a lot of The Battlefield that Never Sleeps
The super arrange version is pretty good, but I prefer the original.

I didn't finish EO2U. I might want to restart in classic sometime.
Because Yuzo Koshiro is a god.
Bow to your god Yuzo Koshiro.

Faith is my pillar is just my favourite battle theme.
Not sure I liked what EMD did with the theme. It turned it into this 'epic' feeling piece. Which reminds me, I still need to finish EMD. Y'know, just in time for EO2U.
Not including boss themes

EOIII will never be finished, oh jeez
Too long. I prefer the simplicity and catchiness of DBD.
I actually kind of liked this about EOIV (although I didn't rest my party until hitting lv40 range). It's not like resting is really punishing anymore in the 3DS games.
Also, we fighting about music again? Winds > Waves. Faith is My Pillar and Destruction Begets Decay are top tier. So is Towering Pair.
If I don't think a skill is worth investing more into, I'll just save the skill points for later, so that's not a big deal.
I don't think I'd mind either way, I kind of like the freedom of it not being there, but I also like the sense of progression. EOIV had the best class skillsets so I'm more than okay with it if they decide to follow how that game did things.
Fight me.

Waves > Winds.
Guys why would that even be a choice?

Anyone willing to give me some advice for subclass ideas in EO3? Just got subclasses unlocked, but I'm just not sure what I want to do with some of my characters. I'm going Princess/Monk for a healer, but for everyone else I'm not too sure. Hoplite/Ninja sounds like it could be pretty good, but the issue I'd have with that is I have a Wildling, so either I wouldn't be able to get much use out of animals or I wouldn't be able to take advantage of double Hoplites. Does Hoplite/Ninja have any good uses outside of stuff like double line guard fun and all that?
The other three (Wildling, Zodiac, and Gladiator) I'm very unsure about what to do. Wildling doesn't seem like it would get much benefit from other things. Like, I was thinking Wildling/Hoplite for spear mastery and some skills to help out with damage every now and then, although it probably wouldn't contribute much in damage that way. From what I understand, Zodiac could go with Gladiator for using Meteor, but what else potentially works for Zodiac? Outside of some extra utilities, Zodiac doesn't seem to really benefit from most of the subclasses. As for Gladiator, maybe sub Buccaneer for Eagle Eye and Limit Boost? Those are the main ideas I've been kind of thinking over, but I'm open to any advice!

Everyone told me classic was the better way to play it.
Really? But Story has the better, well, story I'm assuming.
If you like generic anime story I guess?
LOL no, story mode take the story from classioc mode and butchers it criminally to make it work with characters.. It is super bad to the point that they had to make the post game non canon, change the motivation of some characters to patch it together somehow, it gives away the big twist as early as the first few minutes or some of the early interactions with your party, there were more things I disliked about it but i cant remember now. I think I posted a rant about it on the EOU OT
The only thing Story mode has against classic is that classic tries to hide that it has a story going on for as long as it can. So if you are looking for a narrative like EO4, you wont find it until mid-late game.
The interaction between characters is cool.. if that's your thing sure why not.
Why did they have to do that, I still dont know. Also spoil tag that..
EO2U has a cool battle theme that plays whenever the main character goes super saiyan, it's worth playing for that and the banter when you develop new recipes.
I haven't played EOU's story, but seeing as I'm the only one around here who thinks the first game's story is kind of bad, I probably wouldn't see it as much of a downgrade.
Or an upgrade. And those dungeons are the weakest in the series, so I doubt I'll feel like playing through its story mode anytime soon.
I can't think of a single dungeon in EOI that stands out to me more than those offered in any other game in the series, personally. The length of EOIV's was disappointing, but those gimmicks made them more interesting than anything EOI had.
EOIII is certainly the best though, I can agree with that.

I didnt care for the interactions of the party, so if you take an story that you call bad, and make it worse...
I'm guessing you haven't unlocked the additional classes yet.
Hoplite/Ninja is nice for evading and regenerating TP through evading as well, though if you don't find that useful, you can go with Hoplite/Farmer for added utility or Hoplite/Princess for added support.
Wildling/Hoplite would be better for Shield Mastery I think. Arbalist can work with Zodiac as well, and as for Gladiator, can't really think of anything else than Buccaneer at this point.
Did you finish the 4th stratum?
Nope.
Then get to work!
Also, I think EOIV would be a huge (but welcome) change of pace for you, if you want to keep playing EO.
Edit: Also, somethng i hope it comes back for the next game is these grind/exp/grimore dlc from EOU2. It helps a lot for anyone who is time constrained. Before I needed to get a farming party, grind them to a decent level and get them to work to get money flowing. Now I can just use the exp dlc to get them to a decent level and just use them for the materials, and get gold from the gold dlc instead. It makes it less of a timesink. The grimore dlc seems to be a huge relief for lategame grimore hunting, I bet it makes much faster.
Also, you can use the exp dlc to negate the 2 level loss from resting, which makes it super easy to experiments with builds.
