Honestly not sure why it got moved... I did read that threads will get moved from Gaming to Gaming Community after a month, but this really does not belong in OT.

Who said that? It's just not a platinum seller like Pokémon, Mario games, or even SMT.

Ahh ok well it's fixed. We're in community now.
I assume you moved it back to gaming side, so thanks. Hope everybody else is ok with it and we can continue to discuss.
Made it to the third stratum last night.
I beat Coeurl and moved on to B7 in the Second Stratum yesterday.

Oh, don't worry about it. It's not a race. I was actually thinking of playing EO 4 again, but is there really any reason to play RPGs once you've beaten them?

That's exactly what I'm doing, I'm replaying EO4 because I enjoy it so much, and I want to play EO3 again...
damn I need to finish Untold haha
I have only taken the cellophane off of both Pokémon games AND Rune Factory 4, due to this game. Sad Truth Fact.
That's not sad, that's awesome. On the other hand I want at least a good 6 mon team ready before getting back into this.

This has been a little tedious with the story party. Should I switch to the easy difficulty setting so that I can go faster? Random battles are becoming a hassle.

Picnic mode is really poorly balanced. It's truly no challenge at all, I mean none -- zero.

Standard is already easy as crap, I've never tried but I assume Picnic is a joke.

Not on story mode it isn't easy. Not with Protector, Highlander / Alch, Gunner, Medic. Random battles are a chore.

I was speaking specifically of Story mode. I haven't tried it on Classic. I only tried it for a few minutes during my first run in Story mode out of curiosity, and I was sad to see how little resistance they offered new players. Enemies bounced off my characters like they were made of steel. It was silly. Picnic truly is like enabling a God mode. I don't recommend it unless you're having trouble with a boss or something and just wanna move past a certain point in the game. Otherwise, you're going to suck the fun out of the game for yourself.

Please help me out if you can, first time EO player and looking for tips on Team set up, and Grimoire stones
What problem are you having? We are not gonna tell you what party to use as that depends on what kind of player you are, we can recommed stuff based on what you say. If you really are strugling with the game go with story mode and the fixed party.

no not struggling on party setup, more with what to do with the grimoire stones, and not wasting them. I understand the core mechanic, but I am struggling with how to use the stones properly.
Oh yeah about that, the grimore system is pretty random, what you want to do is if you ever get some useful skills, fuse the skills that can work together (like tp up + magic attacks) and give it to a character. Really there is not alot of depth to that, it depends on how lucky you are with the chances
Man, the post-game is a STOOPID timesink. that 6th Stratum one-round KOs my Story Mode crew, on any but the 26th floor. I have a sneaking suspicion that I need better grimoire stones, and possibly to re-level up from 35 back to 70 for the stats and skill points. I do not have the god skill from the main story boss, and I REALLY do not want to glitch 7 slot stones. The first point sucks, but the second is maddeningly more so, because I have yet to get a single one, barring the found Alchemist one. I cannot take out Turtles or anything harder in order to get the Best Gear Items from them, so I am seriously considering leaving the post-game not done. I had zero problems with EO1's endgame. Immunize, yo. 
I dont think they reset the levels, they just get the skill tree from the new class. Also the stats growth and current stats are not changed so you can get weird characters like a troubador with medic stats.

I noticed I could change my story characters' classes now too. I didn't get a message that let me know the option was available, so I didn't know until I looked in the right place. I didn't change any of my characters' classes yet. It did say you lose half your levels, I think. I don't exactly remember. I think I'll set it on Picnic Mode, it was too tedious with the story party.
If you change classes, your level is halved.

I suppose that is a fair trade. My characters are level ~30ish. I could probably get away with changing one of them. I really regret not starting on classic.
Why?

I just had a hard time getting into this game compared to Etrian 4. I assume if I had created my party from scratch, I might have had a better time with it. I did switch to picnic difficulty and it makes random battles go by faster, so I will just stick with it, I guess. I'm still only on Floor 12, which is not very far at all.

I just downloaded the demo for this game, and despite my first impressions from the cute artstyle I found myself really enjoying it! I'm considering a purchase.
Stupid questions ahead:
If you play in Classic mode do you still have a story in it?
How much story is there? I'm actually enjoying what's there right now but I wonder if it tapsrs off.
Roughly how long to beat the game?
Thanks. I've never played a game in the series before so I really don't know anything about this game.

There is a story. But since the game isn't going to make up personalities for the party members you've chosen, the story is told through NPCs and text boxes without any lines from your team.
Not sure how much there is in Story mode, but Classic mode is pretty good about keeping the plot moving up until the final boss.
40-50 hours seems to be typical.
You could try the demo of Etrian Oddysey 4. EO4 doesnt have a story mode so the demo is just classic mode. You can get a feel on how it will play out. Also EO4 has some different mechanics and classes and imo is the better game with subclassing and tiers of skills. EO:U is a remake of the first game so while it has some extra stuff compared to 4, it is still limited by some of the early stuff like no overworld and no tiers/subclasses

What am I missing? I got to the ant eggs through the southwest, but when I look at it it says I can't destroy it. What gives? Am I supposed to find another route?
Hit it some more.

Been listening to the OST for this game and it is absolutely incredible. A lot of it sounds like it is from some lost 80's anime or something. Totally getting a Galaxy Express 999 vibe from some of it. It's making me want to pick this up pretty badly. This is some damn good Yuzo Koshiro.

Congratulations!
I am on like floor 12. These Etrian Odyssey games are very time-consuming. Story mode has been really weird. So if I make it to the end, I would probably restart in "classic" before doing the postgame.

I'm playing through in normal story, but I'm really missing the presence of a medic with patch up. I'm not seeing anything similar in the skill trees. Does anything like patch up ever show up in story mode?
What you see in the skill trees is what you'll get.
Patch Up might be a monster skill but I doubt that seeing as they have no use for it.

I just found this image. I agree with it, it is really lame that you are stuck with story mode if you pick it at the beginning.
