[DS] Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City - Spending an hour picking your first character

Quote:

Another major change is the addition of multiclassing, which allow you to pick a second class to supplement your current abilities. Want that Shogun to dual-wield some pistols? Okay, just sub the Buccaneer class and give him some Gun Mastery points.

Oh. my. god. That's awesome.

My copy is in the mail actually, ordered it off of Amazon. Should arrive here by next week.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So I've started playing through, just barely got to the 4th floor. Artbook is gorgeous and features artwork from all three games, including character classes, monsters, locations and the like.

The ship sailing game introduced in the third one is pretty fun too. I've almost spent more time on that then I have in the labyrinth. I've also decided to rotate around a few of the new classes to try them out. Right now I've got the Zodiac (Fire / Ice / Lightning Magic User) and the Farmboy on the back row in alternative rounds while my Gladiator, Buccaneer, Warrior Monk and Hoplite tend to the killing.

Zodiac is going to run out of TP a lot at first, so I'd recommend not starting out with him, as once he runs out of TP, he's about as useful as drying off with a wet towel.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
