How many different dungeons are in this game? Will I be seeing a decent number of scenery changes?

No I have not, I have no options to do any quest at this point as I've cleared everything.

I'm still not sold on the visible FOEs nor the "visible nearby on the minimap" thing. (I liked the fact they set my proximity gauge off but weren't on the path I was on. It's like you can HEAR THEM somewhere veeeeeeeery close...) I am however deeply sold on the animated enemies, especially the Baboboboboboboboboboboons in the first stratum.

Reaching the staircase in B1F Lush Woodlands should get you rolling. You should be able to reach it eventually by letting the Cutters destroy the wooden obstacles.

There's a staircase? Well that explains that. DO you know off the top of your head where the staircase was?
For newcomers, Destructoid has an article up basically for the basics. Very good read too. Also, his review is still not up. Seems like hes still addicted to the game.

D6.
Can't just reach it though since a wooden thing on D5 is in the way. Pretty much a roundabout route starting with the Cutter and obstacles on the upper left corner of the floor.
Bottom right sector. There's a Cutter nearby that can smash the wooden barricade so you don't need the long route next time.

I hate Runemasters. But I guess I should use one? I hate TP limited offense classes. ;/
Currently using: Fortress, Landsknecht, Dancer, Sniper, Medic.
Mmnngghhh.

hmm I wish he mentioned that you can rest a character to bring its level down by 2 (so 2 skill points lost) but allows you to reallocate your skill points from scratch.

You can do perfectly fine with a Sniper, just note that a Runemaster gives you a lot of extra power vs FoEs for the early game.
Honestly, even Sniper and the likes are kind of TP restricted for their huge damage.

I guess I mean that I love being able to grind out dungeons longer because I can just auto attack and Casters tend to have shit physical damage.
I will also say this. They really buffed the Tanks. I've DABBLED in this series but I always hated how weak Tanks felt. This is more like WoW where Tanks won't be top DPS, but they still rough and tumble pretty damn well.
I am shit at playing games like this, yet I finished Etrian Odyssey I & 3 (but not the extra dungeon). Don't worry too much about making synergies or the best build. If your build is not strong enough, there's always items to help.

Since I'm not the most original person in the world, I'm going to try and go through the game mimicking the party on the front cover, so Nightseeker, Lans, Fortress, Medic and Sniper.
Long term, how would this party fair, or does it come down mostly to the skills I invest in?

Unless you invest a few points in elemental attacks for the Land and Night, you will have some problems early with a few monsters that have resistance to weapons and weakness to magic, after that the use of items and forge will make the problem go away.

Destructoid's QR quest:
"An Unforgettable Peak."
http://www.destructoid.com/destruct...tml?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
You need to be far into the game to use this and level 30 is the recommended level according to Destructoid.
Whenever you complete a QR quest, it won't show up in the completed list. So don't freak out if you don't see it

Destructoid has been hyping the game a lot lately. And their review isn't even up.
I dont have the quest but I found a glowing tree in B1, in the lower area. Check out at diferent times, maybe it only glows at night.

I am going insane waiting for this game to arrive. I've done everything there is to do in the demo, and it's gotten to the point where I'm creating new characters from scratch and grinding them to level ten so I can switch character designs.

How exactly are you supposed to get the maps from these QR codes? I register the guild cards and they don't show up in my book.
yup, it has to be night. Thanks.
Here are Forest Storm and Ice Ridge II maps along with my Fortress.
Go to Manage Guild Cards, select the card, hit Y, then select Receive treasure map.

If I'm not wrong, your damage is only dependent on your main weapon, barring the effects of some skills. The other weapon is only for giving you access to other skills, but the damage done by those skills is also dependent on the main weapon.
I've never tested it explicitly, but judging by how speed on weapons does affect skills that don't even use the weapons, I'm going to guess that the speed modifier from weapons work the same as the speed modifier from armor and have an effect even if it's the subweapon.
That's assuming they didn't change that in EO4, but I haven't noticed any change there.

This excites me.
I just finished the first big maze, and now I'm on to the next area!
Loving this game much more than I though I would.

I honestly can't decide what to do in terms of classes
I'm thinking Land/Fort/Night - Medic/Rune?
Or is Land/Fort/Dancer - Rune/Sniper better overall?
Do Medics heal better than Dancers? And if not, what benefit does a Medic give over a Dancer?

Not sure what these are, but went out in an Atlus email
You should gather all the QR codes and put them in the OP.
Medics are a far better healer than dancer, but dancer offers far more utility if you can skate by with minimal healing.

I'd go
Land/Fort/Dancer
Rune/Sniper
Dancer with some items does the same job as a Medic
I have that set-up if you replace the Sniper with a medic, she keeps my back line safe as a lot of things target my Rune Master, and I run out of items faster than I would TP, but I'm playing a little more cautiously than you probably are, and not maximizing my damage output, but my front line absorbs all my damage thanks to my Fortress.
I've been doing that if you haven't noticed
Though tired now, sleep!
WOW! How did I not see that?

I just made it to the second labyrinth, and holy shit it's hard. I can't last more than three battles!
I keep running out of TP in the second dungeon because I have to use skills or else I can't kill the monsters fast enough and die. I didn't have this problem at all in the first dungeon, lol.

What level are you at? Most of my party just hit level 20, and I feel like I'm under leveled by about six levels :\
My party is 20 as well. I'm running
L / F / D
M / S
The monsters do a lot of damage to me too, so I usually have to depend on my dancer and medic for healing.

Pretty much the same, although I'm not rocking a medic
L / F / D
S / R
I just rage quit after losing my party.
Do you have your Rune Master focusing on a single thing, or is she spread out over all the runic arts?
