EOUII Rantage!

Shogun and Nightseeker dont compare well at all. Shogun is MUCH more like BUSHI.

Nightseeker is actually more akin to arbalist in my opinion. with the ailment focus of wildling (though i think wildling is much better compared with Arcanist)

Ninja doesnt have a good comparison in EO4. it only compares with nightsekker in aesthetics

and btw, dual weilding isnt a good comparison since every class CAN dual weild. and again, i feel Bushi compares with shogun infinitely better.

i would say Nightseeker is a Wildling focused Arbalist (double action-> follow trace; Front mortar > assassinate. Giant Kill > proficiency, etc.)

thats just my 2 cents on this

Hurray for Princesses in Classic !

If they do a EOU3, Bushi and Arcanist are the least probable classes to get into it as bonus class (different race, don't make sense in EO3), Imperial can also be out of the race since it's a super secret class.
I don't think they'll put Landsknecht and Medic in there 'cause they're recycled classes, and for now all bonus classes were iconic classes from the following game (EO2 Gunner in EOU and EO3 Princess in EOU2).
Dancer, Nightseeker, Fortress, Runemaster and Sniper are the most probable (even if I think Nightseeker won't do it as a hero in Story mode, so it may be out of the race too).

I'd say Dancer or Runemaster : they make sense as cute female heroes in story mode :3

At least it's not for additional dungeons. And if those portraits turn out to be nothing but lolis (which is likely), it just makes it easier for me to ignore them.

I personally would like some extra character slots, especially now that we have 5 less than usual.

For the ones who can't find the box art and booklet art : http://gematsu.com/2014/09/etrian-odyss ... se-box-art

The box art is amazing, I hope we will have the same in EU... The booklet is just moe/fan-service, nothing surprising from Japan.

You know what would have been awesome DLC, in terms of character portraits? Cameos from other games.
What do i know, Whirlwind in his Landsknecht Get-Up, or Seyfried as a Protector.
Or a hooded, stick-thin War Magus that's totally NOT Wufan.
Or, hell, Margeritha as additional portrait for the beast class.

It would have been awesome ! Personnally, I would have loved Olympia as an Hexer or War Magus, even if she's a droid <3

the pic is made as fanservice to appeal to a certain kind of customer. with the booklets before, you had plain cutesy pics... her you have borderline queerbaiting with underage girls.
you don't have to agree on this, but that's how I see it because i've seen such stuff often enough.

[Fluffernuff]

might i ask for a link to the full artbook (if possible)?
the link myssdii provided only shows the covers, which kind of discredits your stance as sorta extreme, meltingpenguins.

japan? creepy? nooooooooooo!

sarcasm aside, i personally dont see any sexualization on the cover, or anything that could be sexualized, really... except for maybe the "schoolgirl uniform". and... looking that deep into it to make sexual? that is indeed a creepy individual...

and on this topic, is raquna underaged? the Nightseekers in eo4? the second Dancer? how old are the Dark Hunters? the bar owner in eo3?

the fanservice we get isnt purely underaged girls. and if it is, then every class in the SERIES is underage. and any fanservice we get of guys... are underage. you sick, sick, catholic priest.

but seriously now. The images before where some of the characetr with school uniforms and headphones and stuff being all cutsey. That was okay.
This time we get the two very young females feeding each other sweets and looking sort of embarrassed that someone caught them doing it.
Sorry, but I had to sit throw so much bad porn for an essay once.... once bitten, twice shy.
