This NG+ doesn't appeal to me. I know. It's like playing the same story again, except everyone is the same level as before you switched to it. Why I like the NG+ on Etrian Odyssey 3 is not because it's really convenient for when you do a new story again, but they change dialogue at the beginning an...

UNLESS... People are cruel and use the first option when meeting their guest teammate. Did anyone try to kill Logre for reals? What's that first option about? I can't remember any cruel option other than retiring them before their time comes . I don't think you can do that (maybe possible i...

Hmm, that's not a bad idea actually. Saves post space and looks neat, too. I am worried if I handle normal combat like that, however, it will require a bit more micromanagement on my part than I wanted. So I may allow players to fight regular enemies at their own discretion, barring specific events...

Nightseeker/Arcanist Doctor Lautrec... I had to actually look him up, and snickered a bit at the on-the-surface similarities between him and the Professor. (Could they at least have tried a design that didn't have a similar hat and color scheme dragging our attention back to Layton?) Was nice to re...

Thank you, I now have a mental image of Professor Hershel Layton in Tharsis. Best part is, the player's balloon design has the right colors for him, too. After the end of Diabolical Box , though, I can't un-see him as a Landsknecht . . . Oh wonderful, now you've got that stuck in my mind, too. I lo...

The Hall of Darkness makes for good writing material. I mean, you can do whatever you want with it. From making it a Scooby-Doo-esque story, to an actual horror story, to even a NSFW porno comedy to all of the above. I might start looking at making my shipping stuff follow up with a story like that...

So they give me a quest to get unmelting ice and then I can't even get it and they don't explain that oh wonderful I just love these people don't you ahahahahaha. Ugh. Entirely too much "NOPE you gotta go somewhere else dude" in this area for my taste. I vastly preferred EOIII's fourth st...

That'll have to be something else for me to think about. The only NPCs I had in mind were essentially my own, with the purpose of aiding in certain quests or whatever. I never decided if they'd become permanent parts of players' guilds... But I digress. I guess I don't have a problem with using NPC...

Hello everyone. I'm not new to EO, as I've played II and III prior to this (and played through about 98% of the way in each, as in I didn't complete the optional bosses). However, in both of the past installments, I've always played with an elemental magic user of some kind. For some reason this ti...

I have been playing EO IV on a 3DS XL and I've noticed that there is some really bad compression on the music in certain areas, for example the 2nd Land's music, and certain parts of the 1st Stratum's theme. Is it the same on the normal 3DS or does the XL just have weird speakers? I didn't feel it ...

Wow. Moon is serious.
