fpbp, frick atlus.
it's not just atlus but entire sega, adding denuvo to tetris and rhythm games must be a cardinal sin and frickers did it anyway
>preordered my first miku
they did not flop, they performed close to expectations (but would have sold more if not for their moronic price point)
street fighter 6 still lost, cope and seethe and flood the thread with your asspain at a little dungeon crawler for weebs that released on DS briefly outselling your oh so perfect fighting game like this thread was designed for
SEGA Said they underperformed
https://www.segasammy.co.jp/cms/wp-content/uploads/pdf/en/ir/20230801_q1_presentation_e_final.pdf
What exactly was Sega expecting? I seriously don't fricking understand it. How can suits be THIS stupid? You REALLY expected 3 rereleases of DS games for an already niche series priced at FORTY BUCKS EACH to sell fricking GANGBUSTERS? That has got to be the STUPIDEST SHIT I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!
Even better they forgot to put in Denuvo for like a whole day so now more people don't have to buy it.
Etrian Odyssey's and Dungeon Travelers' may as well be pirate-exclusive with how shit their releases were. It's no wonder they both sold like garbage.
>Etrian Odyssey's and Dungeon Travelers' may as well be pirate-exclusive with how shit their releases were. It's no wonder they both sold like garbage.
I wish this wasn't true but it is.
I suppose they figured that as Etrain Odyssey is an incredibly niche series that only has a cult following, the cultists would be prepared to pay more for it than the wider market.
You can sell 10,000 copies at 40 bucks or 20,000 at 20 bucks, but you've only made the same amount of money.
that's not what that says but go off
>but go off
so tired of all this nogspeak worming its way into every fricking corner of the internet
They said "new titles" (sonic + etrian together) were below expectations, why do you gays ignore sonic
Etrian could have done relatively well but if sonic flopped then that still means "new titles" as a whole underperformed
But of course Gankerirgins will ignore this again to make the same ">80 dollars >no untolds >denuvo" posts
>why do you gays ignore sonic
Because it's literally Sonic, one of the most popular IPs of all time with most of the best games in the franchise combined into one collection.
If anything flips, it was the EO remasters since it's a more so niche franchise.
dumbest fricking post i've seen all week
Sonic is a series that remains live and active because it's literally a popular IP, no different from Pokémon.
People don't give a shit if the games are bad or play terribly because in the end of the day, it's Sonic.
Just like how Forces sold millions of copies despite having a poor reception.
So of course, Origins wouldn't be a flop given it's Sonic + nostalgia bundled into one. It's the EO games that flopped, especially when it's pretty niche.
>forces
shining force is still around......
when you pretend to be moronic you aren't supposed to make it so obvious
>Sonic
>one of the most popular IPs of all time
Get out of your bubble, son.
it literally is
it's well known but the fanbase is all turbo autistic furries and Black folk with some overlap so it seems louder and more prominent than it really is, the games underperform and are shit more often than not , other popular ips don't have this problem except maybe pokemon but they still make numbers when they suck

Didn't the Etrian remasters not even get a physical western release?
No. Even in Japan the physical release was extremely limited
>didnt meet expectations = underperformed
Come the frick on
Not to mention the remasters were so fricking lazy they cost nothing to make, that the only real additions were one (1) song and Himukai's new portraits
Price, Denuvo, lack of QoL updates, won’t even let me swap portraits across games.
Not enough dicky.
Napier is a nice dicky.
Smug e-girls are the best.
si uce?
Because they wanted $80 for a collection of DS games that were released over a decade ago.
they remastered the worst ones and III
the games are shit
pc players are used to better dungeon crawlers, unlike people who play nintendo handhelds
name a crawler with better and more refined combat than etrian
i will play it
Elminage Gothic
are you fricking mental
i like elminage a lot but it doesn't do anything beyond basic wizardry type stuff, played it and elminage original
>it doesn't do anything beyond basic wizardry type stuff
anon we're in an etrian thread
>Elminage Gothic
It's better than EO but the build variety in that game is so fricked because how difficult it is, I much prefer EO.
not enough side content with her
price, followed by nothing new worth the title of remastered, followed by not even porting EOU1 and 2 and just doing the originals with less content.
I've just made it to the magma caves and gotten subclassing.
my condolences anon, that's when it slows down
moron take, this is when it picks up
only slow point in the game is the first half of stratum 2
no need to be so rude mang
Hahaha that gif is incredible

hell I think there's even a quest that shows up near where they start spawning that gives 3x shock oil. You have no excuse.
>Implying I didn’t have a zodiac for early through mid game
My Black person, why would I not cheese through the early stuff then retire for warrior might kino. Please don’t imply
regal radiance mogs zodiac for aoe elemental damage anyway, zodiac is at its best busting out charged meteors
I'm glad someone liked it. Have a different one.
nice
The pricing. That's it. Just keep 'em a simple twenty bucks for each entry, it's not that bad...
20 for each entry and 40 as a bundle would've been fine.
Price.
Too muchu fricking money for decade old DS games.
All they had to do was give us EO4 style gathering for all the old games but no
farmer squads are much better though and take no effort to build due to passive exp skills, eventually they're just online and can get you infinite money and materials whenever you want
I don't want to grind a 2nd squad I want to just play the game
i just said you don't have to
combat expertise gives them 10% of the exp you gain while they're benched, just get a couple points in that and harvest, max expertise as they level, give one safe stride and by stratum 2 you have an operational gathering squad that will never see combat, it's zero effort
>untold versions not included
>EO 4 and 5 not included
>$70-80 price tag
>implying they won't come next
the next collection WILL have IV V & VI
screencap this post for later when they are revealed,remember Ganker keeps expecting the "switch" 2 to be announced soon
so whatever ports end up scraping up will be the last "new" games for the system!
I just want 4, 5, and Nexus remasters on PC
There will not be a next collection.
Denuvo.
why would I buy a "remaster" when I already have the original? Besides, I'd rather play on 3ds than any new console
>regional pricing is always 200% or more expensive here than dollars.
>etrian released.
>dollarbros are crying.
>check my region.
Frick them.
I can still pirate or just emulate the older games for $0.
I downloaded Citra just to spite these greedy nintendojews. Currently playing through EO4. I will continue on with the rest of the series
>all for free
why would I buy the "remaster" when I can just emulate that shit instead? for that pricetag, i'm expecting a full blown remake
Eighty dollars for DS ports.
too fricking expensive
I've waited long enough
I'll wait until they're on a deep discount
3 is worth the standalone 40, other two aren't
The pricing is a joke
>mfw reaching the 3 dungeon floor in EO III
did they HEAR it it's awful!
I still think the best is from EO II though by a huge margin
eo5 has the best stratum 3 music, aesthetic, gimmicks and overall design of pretty much any stratum in the entire series
EO2 had my favorite music in general, although 3 had some good boss themes.
Once they stopped using that Megadrive-like synthesizer starting with 4 (forgot what it was called) it lost its charm to me.
5 lets you change music style
IV and Nexus are the only games that dont have anything like it. Im annoyed that they havent tried to release a few tracks like that for IV
Frick you, Molten Caves is kino
Price was moronic, not even Konami went that israelite with the castlevania collections
EO2 killed my desire to continue playing.
Is EO series kill?
Perchance
Yes and you killed it.
It's over
high price for a low effort ports
Full priced denuvo'd mockeries of games that have already been played to death by anyone who enjoys Dungeon Crawlers.
Because everyone that cared already played them 10 years ago.
Steamies don't buy video games. It's been proven over and over again and you're surprised every time
I don't pay for malware. Good thing those idiots put up the clean version first.
Incredibly niche genre and incredibly overpriced, it actually did surprisingly well considering those factors
They're boring and basic as shit.
>muh etrian is HARD!!
This meme stops being relevant in floor 2.
post your perfect guild cards, I'll wait
I cant force myself to auto battle through 5 stratum in EO3.
>auto battle
Picnicgay confirmed
>t. Filtered babby gamer that plays on Picnic mode
It’s ok widdle guy, there are lots of other simpler games for you out there
this is the reason i hate devs adding in these easier difficulties, it absolutely ruins discussion about the game because you get homosexuals making all kinds of crackhead assertations and then you find out they were playing on moron mode
But i play on hard you wienermongler. You can still auto battle everything but foes and bossess obviously.
How much fricking grinding do you do that your team is strong enough to autobattle random encounters?
I didnt. My buccaneer/gladiator with jolly roger and princess with auto heal can breeze throught all normal battles.
>etrian fans acting like hardcore gaymer elitists
it's babby's first dungeon crawler lmao
name one crawler easier than etrian
labyrinth of refrain, elminage, both were mentioned in this thread and are easier than etrian even when you enable harder options in refrain
class of heroes is easier
later wizardry games are easier
fricking persona q is easier
>class of heroes is easier
what the frick are you smoking
i played all of those games, class of heroes is literally just a reskinned later era wizardry
there's zero complexity to the battles you just hit stuff and nuke stuff and the only difficulty comes from weird dungeon traps or boxes that petrify all your characters because frick you
>elminage gothic
>easier than etrian
the delusion of etriangays holy FRICK
elminage isn't fricking hard you Black person you can autobattle almost everything, it's like the same as nu wizardry

How can jap execs be so far up their own asses?
Is it true all Atlus games have Denuvo? Is it because of Sega or just typical israelitelus things?
It's a combination of both, but since the Atlus acquisition SEGA puts denuvo on their other franchises too
>run a DS emulator inside Unity
>charge $80 for 3 DS games
Hopefully, this will teach Atlus not to think that Steam release = automatic success.
Sega and Square deserve to go bankrupt and get liquidated at this point, it's embarrassing how incompetent their suits are.

80 dollars for 3 low effort DS ports with a shitty UI
EIGHTY FRICKING EUROS
Should have been Untold versions and like 1/2 the price
For those of you finished one. How many hours did it take to beat it? I gave up at 50hrs. Had a great time, loved my team and everything. But yeah..
Took me 30 hours to finish EO1 and 40 hours for EO2, this included 6th stratum and all optional bosses.
Used a guide or your natural smarts and game knowledge? I think I put in 40hrs in Etrian Odyssey IV 3DS and only got to the 3rd stratum. I loved it, but it was going on for too long.
I had previous experience from EOU1 but that's it.
72 hours, etrian 3
That's good to know. Maybe one day I'll finish an Etrian
They are extremely hard, this is why people should start with 4 or V
Haha, I remember I holed up in my room with E03 for 12 hrs one day and felt like total frick. I wanted to die
I usually take around 50 hours for the main game then another 20ish on post game content
$80 for fighting png images
Price is like a flying frick for a port of old games from an inferior console.
Anyone got that play order image? I am waiting for a 3ds to arrive
I just hope the sales aren't used as an excuse to suddenly cancel Nexus
It will be
Anyone proud of a map they drew out that they want to share?
i drew your eyes
40 dollars for a single DS game feels like a obvious scam compared to something like Persona 4 Golden which is 20.
Its literally the Excel spreadsheet meme. Its okay if you play them on handhelds but there is no way anyone would actively choose to play this as their main game on PC
They didn't. People on here just illiterate as always.
They sold well yet slightly below expectations. No doubt because they split it in pieces and wanted $80+ for digital-only.
It's like they consulted Square Enix for pricing and sales expectations.
>it's the shitty ds versions with static monsters instead of the 3DS remakes with fully modelled and animated enemies
Everyone saw it's a scam from miles away

Should I skip EO2? It doesn't feel fun and it feels like no matter what team I try to make there's no good class composition
EO2 is not fun feel free to skip it
the best party combination is a glass cannon composition of R/WM/DH/H/G
I'm not gonna buy the same friggin games. Make a NEW one ATLUS.
Did a mod to fix the font ever release? I'd like to play the EO3 remaster but I wanted to wait for tha.
Looks like it
https://www.reddit.com/r/EtrianOdyssey/comments/13xcgqv/etrian_odyssey_hd_font_fix/
I really liked EO3 with the mod, got somewhere around the third stratum with the broken glass cannon builds and lost interest for now, but I really don't think this sort of game works on a desktop/PC for most people. It's best on handheld to kill time.

>It's not hard, just tedious and annoying - constant backtracking, constant back and forth either because the inventory is full or because you run out of mana

No, it doesn't get "better" later. Near a 100h in the fricking game and it was always the same, it was just grind until you could autobattle everything because you cannot waste mana.
If I wanted a grind game I would play one that is fun doing so, like fricking Disgaea holy shit. Even Dungeon Travelers is better than EO, I fail to see how anyone can find EO better than any other dungeon crawler.
>It's not hard, just tedious and annoying - constant backtracking, constant back and forth either because the inventory is full or because you run out of mana
do you not understand the CRAWLER part of a dungeon CRAWLER?
>Near a 100h in the fricking game
a skilled player would clear every single game in this franchise in less time than that, you're just genuinely shit m8
>do you not understand the CRAWLER part of a dungeon CRAWLER?
The one where I don't waste my time or make me do things between the backtracking. You know, like good games unlike Etrian. When I'm backtracking in something like Legend of Grimrock, things happen or I can visit other places - I'm not in a constant "ok back to the same .png merchant to sell shit or get mana". Meanwhile in other crawlers, I just have the ability to teleport and avoid wasting time doing nothing but autobattling my way out of garbage floors.
>a skilled player would clear every single game in this franchise in less time than that, you're just genuinely shit m8
A player that knows the game can finish the game quick? WOW! You're so smart anon.
I will not waste time with more EO trash. I can literally play any other Dungeon Crawler that it'll be a hundred times more enjoyable than this piece of garbage. Even with how mediocre dungeon travelers is, it's still a better game.
Tried 1, really awful. Got told the same of "m-muh 3" tried that one, spent 70h on it and noped the frick out. Made me want to simply replay the Labyrinth series instead.
The game bombed not because of Denuvo, not because of the price, but because it was garbage then and it is garbage now.
>spent 70h
All I have to say to this moronic post is that if you took 70 hours to complete any etrian game(which you didn't even do lmao) you're just terrible at vidya and whatever else you have to say is irrelevant.
Yeah yeah, anyone that doesnt' like your garbage is bad at vidya. Gee, I wonder why there was no problem with literally any other fricking dungeon crawler?
Both of them, really good game at that. The second being much better than the first even. Also played the Vaporum games and finished them.
I wonder what the hell "git gud" has anything to do with the massive amount of problems that Etrian has compared to any other dungeon crawler. I wonder why I can go on max difficulty with any other game, do it just fine but when I select hard on Etrian all I do is waste my fricking time.
So the Labyrinth series combat is braindead? What about Etrian? I have spent more time doing autobattling (or just mashing the OK button for attacking even with the healer/mages) in Etrian than in Labyrinth. Now, let's say that Labyrinth games actually have sleeper combat and somehow say that Etrian is not sleeper.
Labyrinth series allows me to grind in optimal ways that are engaging with the exponential EXP stacking and moving from floor to floor with tricks like destroying walls. It allows me to teleport and come back to the same spot I was on quickly. It allows me to quickly level up characters that are not even in combat just in case I want to switch things if I frick up with a build. As you mentioned, it has good presentation and a surprisingly good story in both games. Both games have hard encounters that reward the player who creates a good party composition.
I don't think that Labryinth is the "golden standard" but it's definetly a hundred times better than Etrian is. Notice how the only thing everyone here say as a counter argument is "you are bad".
I am sorry that you guys think that Etrian is hard, it is but not because of combat or anything like that - but because it's hard as frick to WANT to finish the fricking game.
M8 you make a team of some 10 cats and knights and gore everything, Labyrinth combat is literally built around braindead autoattack
>Labyrinth series allows me to grind in optimal ways that are engaging with the exponential EXP stacking and moving from floor to floor with tricks like destroying walls.

EO has all of those things in shortcuts, retiring, combat study. The only thing it doesnt is exp stacking which doesnt even matter since the only way you could be underleveled in the first place is if you recruited a brand new character halfway through, or repeatedly fricked up your builds and rested every other floor
>M8 you make a team of some 10 cats and knights and gore everything
Yeah, it's great
Good on you to admit youre moronic

>Made me want to simply replay the Labyrinth series instead.
Labyrinth of Refrain/Galleria are some of the shittiest dungeon crawlers, only above Mary Skelter. The presentation is nice but the combat is completely braindead. If you're using that as your golden standard, I don't know what to tell you besides "git gud".
>” Meanwhile in other crawlers, I just have the ability to teleport and avoid wasting time”
>what are Ariadne threads
Lmao you homosexual, you didn’t even play the games. You’re just some butthurt moron trying to shill against EO for some bizarre reason.
3 has some of the easiest TP management though? Ninjas get a huge discount on everything they do, support classes that generate TP for supporting, the mage class can make shit free - hell Wildlings can abuse this to GAIN TP. How were you having that bad of a time?
Skill issue.
You played the first one didn't you? 1 and 2 are dogshit, sorry. There's a reason the Untolds were made.

It is a mystery. Despite that Next Stage still won't get cancelled because Fatlus never does that, plus they themselves said that part of the reason for these HD versions existing is because they want fan feedback on the map drawing controls, so they could apply that to the new game that they've been making since fricking 2016 or some ridiculous shit.

The price is so moronic that japs are buying the untolds instead of the remaster.

There's nice waifus and implied-sex romance with them, plus good class variety
>implied-sex romance
What do you mean?
there's a bunch of penis in vegana sexual intercourse with handholding that happens so it's heavily implied
NTA, you can "date" characters in that game, I think the last date there is a black screen and implied sex.
Funny note, you can frick a e-girl and a literal doll.
>you can frick a e-girl
I will now play your game
it's only the implication
She literally says something like "I want you to make me a woman" or some shit like that.
if a little girl says that to you it might mean she wants to to give her makeup or a dress or something not sex
Here it is, that's what she says, this is while together on a hospital bed.
I made her an adult.
but it was only an implication
I wonder what these implications could implicate...
the implication went too far
And here is moments before gay sex, the MC has implied sex with anything and anyone, including the main antagonist, other men, catgirls, a living doll and a e-girl.
now i won't play your game
IT WAS ONLY EVER IMPLIED, YOUR IMPLICATIONS OF IMPLICITY ARE IMPLICATED YOURSELF IN IMPLIED IMPLICITIES
Can I avoid this if I never talk to this charactr?
You can select any party member to date the characters it doesn't need to be your self insert, you can send a catgirl to frick the male characters for example.
Can I make a catgirl frick a e-girl? This is important
Yes, you can make a catgirl frick the e-girl, you can make an old man frick the e-girl, you can make a e-girl frick the other e-girl.
Oh, wait, is not fricking, is implied sex, sorry for the implication.
stop implying that you're not implying the things you were trying to imply
I WILL NOW PLAY YOUR GAME
There's a lot of JRPGs where you can frick e-girls really.
I was having a lot of fun with EO3 as my first game, on Expert difficulty. I'm near the end of Stratum 3 and suddenly started losing steam. I think the gameplay loop just started to get old. My character builds are pretty much figured out so level ups aren't as exciting anymore and I'm strong enough that random encounters have become more annoying than threatening.
I might just stop here and take what good I can out of the experience rather than try to force myself to finish it.
i found that it picked up a bit at stratum 4 because of where you go, and those floors go by pretty quick and the 5th stratum has some fun map bullshit before the final stretch
bonus stratum is also awesome but your mileage may vary here
Because the games are boring
way too high of price
shit DRM (thankfully they fricked up and released it without DRM for a double whammy kek)
it's really not that hard, baldurs gate proved that. no DRM, no fuss, no bullshit DLC, just release the god damned game, and people will buy it.
The harder you make for someone to legally purchase and play a game, the less likely theyare to bother.
Why would anyone buy the remasters when they don't even really have anything "remastered" about them? Just hack a 3DS and you can play Untold 1 and 2 for nothing, they're superior in every way.
t. 3DS scalper
I WILL NOT bid on your ebay listing
It deserves to flop due to price, smt 3 deserved to flop too for the same reason, specially because they didn't even bother fricking fixing the OST goddamn cashgrab, though I feel smt3 probably did well enough because of purse owner getting so big
Why are you all so poor? $80 is a great price for 3 excellent games
NO MORE GAYS
I hope their new EO game is actually worth the price.
>new EO game
$90 for 3 games when it should of been $40 for all 3 or $15 each.
