I was gonna do the old OST and then the town music hit and I will never look back.
That said, I like story mode. It's fun. I like the characters and sometimes I just enjoy being given confines and told "That's all you get" and seeing how I can mess around within them.

Between this and GTAV we're having a Canadian revolution in gaming!
Also can't think of too many examples that could be further apart. Especially when you contrast the characters.

I wish story mode had alt colors
1) In any way you want, I just put a closed door icon with a small note saying its a white crystal (the icon with the red triangle in the top left). The note thing can be put on top of another icon unlike others.
2)It seems that it notifies you in this game, this did not happen in other entries as it was not needed. The only reason why you are notified now is because you get a bonus for getting a good map now.
3)You can leave, but if you are in the first quest that asks you to map a part of the map (the red square) you will need to finish it and talk to the guard again. It wont notify you when you complete that part, it only does when you get the full floor.
Also, there should be a set of stair on the top of your map, that's the entrance to the next part of the dugeon. If you think you are done with that floor (and finished the first quest already) go the stairs and keep exploring
Thank you, this was really helpful. I actually found out I had missed a small portion from marking a wall where there was an opening. Finally I found the problem.
Ya looks like I won't be doing expert until troubador has a heal.

Yeah I just tried registering and it told me that there were no points or survey for this game. I've never seen that happen for a game that actually has a Club Nintendo code.
Atlus USA's revenge for someone stealing the SMT IV Club Nintendo code from that game's unboxing, clearly!
Guess I'll order from Amazon and hope it's included. Description doesn't list it anymore so I'm worried.

Edit: Oh wait, I get it.
I haven't tried registering. Maybe a bug?

I decided to go with story mode since I wanted to see the extra dungeon and the highlander class. To those playing classic, am I correct in assuming you can't go to the other dungeon via the geomagnetic poles? If that is correct, I am glad I decided to go story since I think not having that dungeon is kind of missing out... especially since I just fought a boss there.
Highlander is pretty cool. I like the self sacrifice mechanic of draining yourself and it is surprisingly self reliant. Using the attack that hurts yourself to hit an entire row, killing them, and having the passive that heals the party whenever you kill something (including the damage you just did to yourself) is very light on TP investment. Looking forward to seeing the damage numbers of delayed charge.
Took the first stratum boss down on my first try at level 15 playing on expert. Could definitely be done lower as I completely misjudged how the adds would work and made some really terrible plays but managed to pull victory out right on the last turn I had to live. Sadly, didn't have an opportunity to apply formaldehyde given how much of my party was dead at the end.
I'm rather disappointed with the medic's poison ability. Usually in EO games jumping a poison skill up to max right away is extremely powerful but I'm only doing ~200 damage per tick with it and I imagine that will be outclassed right after the first stratum.

I haven't toyed with it much (only got like two hours of play time in) but it seems to scale with TEC rather than being a flat amount.
Obviously it's in anticipation of the fabled account system.
Also, I don't think it can be overstated how awesome the box art for this is. Picking my pre-order up today!
So not liking Hexer so far. Has too much overlap with dark hunter... and there's like almost no attack skills. Trying to figure out if it'll be worth it having her stick around.. but with the amout of classes that I already have that debuff I'm not too sure. Might throw her out for a Land, not sure yet.
It wasn't me I swear!
Cool, so how does Ontario get brought up in classic mode?
I've been play story mode. At the mansion you get occasionally get packages from Raquna's dad. First package had
maple syrup (two different types!) and we made maple ice cream.
ice wine, venison, potatoes and some other stuff. We made poutine!

The Sheldon family is a thing in classic mode, I took a request from them and the reward was getting the mansion. I got a new request from them now (the guildkeeper mentioned Ontario when talking about them), but I wont go to B3F yet. I need the gathering party to get some extra levels.
Edit: That reminds me, in EO3, some of the sea cities had names from old real world places.

Has anyone played the Japanese version? What region was used that Atlus decided to localize at Ontario?
Flip a coin.
I went for Classic to enjoy my first run in these dugeons. After that I will play story to enjoy the story. If I did it the other way starting with story, I would get both the new dugeons and the story in one run making the classic run afterwards feel kind of empty imo

Must not have had the SKU enabled yesterday. CN Survey is showing up for me now.
I really am enjoying the Story Mode. A cool addition. Hard mode does not seem that hard so far (at least how I remember 3 being) so any veterans should probably stick to that mode.

I am worried Expert ends up being unbalanced, as its just a % -damage you deal and % +damage the enemy do instead of balancing their stats.

Dare me to try story->expert??
I don't think you've ever been able to see enemy buffs/debuffs in any EO and it has always annoyed me. And I always spend a while bringing up my own buffs/debuffs over and over again thinking, "Surely there is a way..." and then there never is.
It's shown over the enemy's HP bar.
Debuffs like -attck dont show

Yeah, when I was playing the demo I noticed a difference when I switched to expert. I just fought a ragelope on the 2nd floor, having just loaded up my save. It just makes battles a bit more challenging, I suppose standard mode will be a more balanced difficulty.
Those aren't debuffs, those are ailments. But ya looks like debuffs have never been shown.

You tried either of the demos yet? I say this one, so you aren't "LTTP" hahaaa
Good luck with that lol...not with your choices of party but I am not quite sure you realise how hard EO1 was...its a real challenge but if you are up to it and a patient gamer,go for it...(is classic on expert easier then normal old EO1...?)
I switched off. Maybe once my team gets rolling I'll do expert... but the party is way too abnormal to do expert right now. Need some of the classes to get their healing skills first.
Enjoying story mode so far, but I've got a question about the Guild House (I don't recall this from previous games).
Inside the guildkeeper has an option for "Prepare", which currently lists a bunch of different coffee cups. They are very vague, like "raise party HP" and stuff like that. I chose "Recover TP after every battle" and when I checked back some of the other options were gone, and another one had "GOOD" next to it.
So basically, what is this? Is this a permanent stat boost? Timed stat boost? Why did the options disappear and/or change around when I picked one? There is nothing in the manual explaining this...

Think they're pretty much like food buffs from EO4. Soon as you exit the dungeon they're gone.
Meh, I'll just skip that stuff then. It would be nice if they explained how you unlock new foods. Maybe doing the Guild House request missions?
Thanks either way.

that's just sad. I don't see why anyone would play that, I'm fine with there being an Expert/Normal mode.
