nincompoop said:Got my Amazon preorder package today The artbook is amazingly well-put-together. I loved the comics in the back, too :lol
The game itself is already a lot more brutal than I remember the first two being. Only on the first floor and I'm running into monsters that can kill every member of my party in one hit! I probably need to tinker with my party some more, my farmer seems especially useless in battles so maybe I'll swap him out for someone who'll actually help me survive long enough to gain a few levels.
Barbarian said:The ocean map icons are even more confusing than the dungeon icons! I have attempted to create a key to the EO3 ocean map icons, but I could definitely use some help with some of them.
How could Atlus not include this information in the manual?!!
Yaweee said:They mean whatever you want them to mean. It's your own map and nobody else will ever see it.
"The icons is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual symbols. Welcome aboard the Etrian series, Barbarian. "Barbarian said:Technically, I agree that this is true. The problem is, I am so obsessive-compulsive that I feel an overwhelming need to know that I am using the icons in the way that the developers intended!

Grampasso said:I'm wondering if I'm playing this in the right way. First steps into the first floor, after I leveled my party to lv2, I met this fucking tiger which 1-shotted a party member every turn. I barely survived with my arbalist.
When I encountered the tiger again I had leveled and equipped enough to deal with it without any problem, but I went through the first levels with the fear of meeting it again.
Ok, so I finally reach 2nd floor... and the first random encounter is a fucking bird who oneshots any party member? Are you kidding me? This is not funny at all. Party is lv 6 now with the best equip I can have. Will it be this way every single floor, with random encounters potentially wiping your party? It's not my first EO but this is the first one so punishing for no apparent reason unless I'm fucking everything up (which I don't think tbh)
?_? It's not like I can avoid itPureauthor said:The Great Lynx is just there to keep you on your toes.
Having problems with the Largebill is a sign that you're not paying enough attention to the NPCs.
Totakeke said:That sounds more like the EO that I remember, maybe I should buy this game after all. ;p

Yeah, I had to unlock the 2nd bunch of hintsPureauthor said:Not paying enough atteeeeention! :lol
Hint:Butterfly Bistro. Ask around.
sundrenched said:Got past level 2, doing the fish festival quest now. What a huge pain in the ass! In my last 15 battles in b4f I met 1 (!!) devil fish! How unbelievable. Is there any place where I can grind around for devilfish?
The_Technomancer said:Hm, okay, on Floor 2 I can't seem to get any further without running into a FOE because of the mud. Do I need to be able to defeat one now?

Fishious said:No, you should be able to reach the next floor without fighting any foes. Is this the one where you first get the warning about mud? You just need to make sure move down the path right after it moves out of the way. There is one FOE somewhere on that floor that you need to kill to pass, but there's only an item behind it.
The_Technomancer said:These two spots. I even tried walking around the loop to offset my walking by a pace or two in hopes that it would buy me the space I need, but no luck.

sundrenched said:Yeah I got through the level 2 problem. Actually it was easier for me to walk in front of the FOEs
According to gamefaqs, the princess/prince is only really worth it if you pair with a hoplite that has provoke. I re-skilled my monk to become a pure healer and he still sits in my first row! Urgh I hope the sub classes are like class change ala ff5, or I'm screwed with my monk. A zodiac/monk mix looks good since my monk is running out of TP really fast.
I really like the Farmer class out of all the new classes! Sure they aren't the most effective class but they have some nice debuffs and loads of skills to make life easier for you. To my surprise, keen eye is really useful though it takes away some of the suspense of not knowing where the FOE is haven't decided to go for the debuff route or the gathering route first...
Oh yes, need some advice for my zodiac, what elemental magic should I specialist in/ be more useful? Should I go for the multihit magic or just the solo hits for boss battles?

I've put 4 into it to work towards getting the skill that potentially hits more than your target, we'll see how that works out.slayn said:1 point in armor piercing shot is probably worthwhile although I wouldn't add to it any further.

==============
Claw Shrimp: Red Tail (80%: Kill with Ice Damage)
oh I hadn't considered pre-rec's. I just meant that at level 1 it does 170% damage for 11TP while at level 10 it does 215% damage for 15TP which seems not really worth 9 more skill points. But 1 point for 170% armor piercing damage sounds good to me.botticus said:I've put 4 into it to work towards getting the skill that potentially hits more than your target, we'll see how that works out.
