I changed the demo title into our normal "Rantage" thread. Seemed appropriate. Enjoy, guys. The game releases this week. As always, be respectful and PLEASE NO SPOILERS!!

I've not finished the 3rd floor quite yet, but with most of my characters capping at level 10, I decided to stop so that way I'm not wasting precious experience points. I think I could do with a better point balance as I've learned the game, but all of the team except the Masurao was my first charac...

Beat a Toxipede on my first try. Used three Nectars and ended with only party member down. Wasn't too difficult of a fight, actually. Party: Masurao, Dragoon, Pugalist Warlock, Botanist Would have probably been a bit easier if I had more points in the Pugalist's bind skills (I feel like I spent too ...

I regret nothing.

I've never noticed the conventions being careful. :) Let me be clear, I'm not trying to say that the objects in the game aren't weird and just "how does that work???" But they've always been named according to what they are. Ariadne's Thread, for example, IS a Thread. (I wish they'd expan...

Are those named "bunker" and "pillbox" though? (I have no idea what the upper one is, though the bottom looks like a shield.)

As careful as the naming conventions usually are, I can't imagine they would name something different in this game than their intentions.

I think mechanically I absolutely love the bunkers and pillboxes. But let's put this in perspective.... (quick google searches) Japanese bunkers: http://www.gamodls.com/Bunkers/JapaneseBunkers_20mm.1.jpg Japanese pillboxes: http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u110/newbridgegaming/CYC/Pacific/IMG_1279...

Meanwhile I enjoyed it. The difficulty is back to being fairly punishing with a lot of risk-reward. The skill tree system is simplistic but I love the skills that are present and fit within my play style. The maps have so far been very entertaining and mysterious. I love the Adventurer's Log concept...

Thanks for confirming about the Fishing. Yeah I see more promise in setting up a bunch of bunkers as opposed to the normal line defends. It has shown a lot of promise plus still lets my Dragoon act. For nastier monsters I've put up three bunkers and not been hit once. :\ This game mocks me. It gives...

As someone who could not get into subclassing too much. I love this. I don't feel like I'm being punished if I just want the straight-and-narrow nostalgic experience that I loved from the first two EO games. ^^ I've always felt that I'm more into the early-era experience with graph papers and unforg...

Does the chain effect eventually last for more than one turn?

update:
oh lol I'm an idiot. I forgot about the skill you're talking about.
There's the one skill that suggests it turns the Fencer's attacks into Bash. That seems like a painfully odd choice if the skill didn't work for chasing.

Oh, right. It lets you reselect everything else except a new portrait. Don't get it.

XD I'm not one to get into character customization but MY GOD this one was fun. It didn't feel daunting or complicated.

The GF forums are talking about this, too, and people posted this which I've yet to try out but MAKES SENSE. https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/893659-etrian-odyssey-v-beyond-the-myth/75776194 Post 1: Several things that might be preventing them from working: 1) They use the legs, so if the fencer is l...

I'm so glad I'm not the only one having problems with this. I've not had it activate at all but I've only been in three battles. Was wondering if I was missing something.

Wait, I'm confused. Did bow work or not? You say it did but said piercing didn't?
