Questions about previous EO games

[doctor_roxo]

I have sort of a general question about all the previous games. So i thought i'd just put it here. [move it if you like]

Since this is my 1st EO game, I'm wondering what other (if any) modes of transport were used in previous games. I.E. EO IV uses the skyship, so what did 1, 2, and 3 use? did it use anything or is this new? and if they did, what were they like? which is your favorite?

This is pretty much new. EO3 had a ship, but it didn't take you to new Strata. Both 1 and 3 had the Strata going deeper into the ground, while 2 had the Strata reaching further into the sky.

Yeah. Reynard basically told it to you.

However, if it makes you laugh a little or feel better, the Sea Battles there sound like the battles you have with Quest related optional bosses (i.e. the first Bloodbear you found and the Illusionist in the Second Maze).

Sailing was like a separate adventure. Fun.
The instant battles it mae available were very convenient. They even healed any participants fully. I remember not saving enough money for the inn once, and quickly beating up Maregho Saeno for cash.

I actually kind of liked the going deeper thingy tbh.. The 3 floor "mazes" in EO4 just feel so shallow ;_;
