[DS] Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard

F O E! F O E! F O E! F O E! \D:/

There's no doubt in my mind that this'll be awesome--totally looking forward to it. I do still have to finish the first game, so now I have a good impetus to do so. I hope the sequel is as unforgiving and cruel as the first, cause that's the way it should be.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

A "small weak forest denizen", eh? I bet it'll kick my ass.

Those screenshots look promising, I love that guy's art. The game interface turned a lot greener since the first game... But that's cool, I like green.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Or if you don't want to do that, GameFAQs has full maps for the first stratum so you can check there. The stairs to 3F is indeed at block F-1.

Haha, I do that too, it's weird when you come across it by accident. "Hey! There's... No wall here? I thought the... But the map said..."

Anyway, I just started playing this and it's a lot better than the first game, they really fixed almost every annoying naggle about the original game. It's still tough as nails, but that's to be expected. It's just really fun and the art/music is amazing.

I do miss Shilleka though.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Some of the things I can think of... In the shop, you can now compare the stuff you buy to what you're currently wearing (as well as who can equip it), and equip your bought stuff right away. In dungeons, you can now suspend-save, and you can leave a memo on any tile, not just tiles that you placed a special symbol on. There are also generally more map tiles and several color floors so it's easier to indicate everything.

There are probably other things but those really help smooth the game out a bit.

And yeah, usually I draw each path too, but I guess sometimes I don't do it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I uh, I wasn't paying attention to the guy's explanation, and uh, I activated a

Spoiler:

Geomagnetic Pole.

What does that do?

I was speaking idiomatically.
