Etrian Odyssey (+Persona Q) Thread - New EO Games For Everyone!~
MewMewHeart:
I've acquired my Persona Q game from Gamestop along with the free Tarot cards and I'm going for TEAM PERSONA 4 because of Naoto and Rise. I'm happy my aunt allowed me to play my Persona Q game ehehehe... although I'm stuck cooking Thanksgiving food until further notice. Hmm... now who do I want to use though aaaaaaagh. Also I will say I do know how to beat some bosses of it due to me watching SuperJeenius stream the Japanese version on twitch.
Garlyle:
Oh yeah, speaking of DLC, seems Persona Q has some. For the moment at least it's free DLC though - just an extra subpersona in your compendium to summon. Not sure how long it'll remain free (Atlus seems fond of the "early adopters get DLC free" model). There's supposed to later be DLC to get Elizabeth and Nanako as navigators though (which I'm not gonna lie are both tempting).
Shizumarashi Mayuzumi:
Also another free DLC in a week. Not sure how long either will be free though yeah.
ANYWAY oh god mapping in PQ is wonderful I hope EO5 takes all the new features ALL OF THEM. (I'm going team P3 though because Mitsuru. <3 With the bonus of getting to crack up at Akihiko wanting to go punch FOEs the moment he heard about them.)
Ghaleon:
If and when I do get my 3ds, hopefully sooner than later. Do you guys think I should get EO4 first? or Millennium girl? I HAVE played one, and I really liked it, but I think rebalancing immunize and fortify (or whatever the protector one was that stacked with immunize) would make it oh so much better (and before you say just don't use those moves, that's a good solution minus the fact I tend to favor tanky/turtle strategies in these kinds of games in general and I'd basically be not playing the way I am inclined to to begin with), and I recall it had lots of new features that people were going ape over, and I'm not really dying for a new story or anything, and I haven't memorized the mazes at all. So...just pretend I never played one, is eo4 still something I should try first? I imagine I'll snag both right away but I can only find one copy of each game hours of travel time in opposite directions or something...
Just to note I like EO3 but it was noticeably less fun to me than 1 and 2, which were roughly equal to each other, not sure if EO4 continues in a direction 3 started that some people may favor or whatever.

EO4 is the cleanest and easiest of the series, both as a whole and to get into. Plus you can do stupid things like 5 medics and still win (do not do this). I'd say go with that.
