Just reached the core (b30f boss) and it is awesome, the music that plays is just as awesome.

Yea, some monsters and be pretty brutal. I was exploring b15f and got into a fight with these 2 bat foes and OMG they do insane damage. I was able to kill one of them, but 1 round later another had joined. I didn't have enough resources left (mainly nectars) to deal with this and it ended in a game ...

im sure i said somewhere that "normal" is etrian 3-4 and "expert" is etrian 1-2 Would have been nice for the game to say that, don't you think? Also, 3 and 4 had very different difficulty levels. It did, what do you think "standard EO difficulty" means? It means the st...

That may work in a short fight, but not in a prolonged fight. But if you don't want to use a protector, then don't.

Just to echo what's been said, the protector is much better than you give them credit for. And I'd rather not rely on luck to stop an enemy's attack, if there's a better less luck based way.

Go Europe! Wooooo! Finally replaced my Protector with a Dark Hunter. Only Lv2 and she's at least twice as useful as the Protector, which was at level 14. 10 levels on Shield Mastery and still taking an assload of damage? LOL. Shield mastery reduces physical damage by 15% when maxed. So early on you...

Yes, boost works the same as the original, increasing the skill lv by 5.

Also, may I point out to the one wanting to reclass a Medic as an Alchemist that they'll still only have a Medic's stat growth? Yes, I am aware of that. They will keep the portrait and the stats of their original class. I've looked at the japanese wiki, and I'd lose a little tec and tp for an incre...

I don't really care for the alchemist portraits, so I'm thinking of retiring my alchemist to a medic, grind them up and then class change them to an alchemist. A medic because I like the portrait and the stats are pretty good for an alchemist. Only thing is, I'm not sure if it would really be worth ...

And just like EO4, you can scan your own card.

Guild cards work a bit different from EO4. Instead of giving you the character on the card, you are given a grimoire with random skills from that character and their equipped grimoire.

Yes, gladsheim is story mode only. Story mode is also required to complete the game 100% (some enemies are story only).

Even if you only played classic, it has improved so much over the original. Everything has been rebalanced and both ronin and hexer are available at the start.

Also, err, if I may ask a question that may be some real late-game spoilers . . . I was a-browsing GameFaqs forums to get a little extra info and I saw a little passing bit that we might be able to get Kupala as a Guildkeeper; is there any sort of special dialogue tree nonsense or Things To-Do to m...
