@Crackin355 Is the Etrian series worth playing the entire series of? Or are most of the games relatively the same? Asking because I own V Beyond the Myth
What game did you last play?!?!?!?
- Thread starter Aiko Heiwa
- Start date
@Luma They all have the same basic gameplay loop; create party, enter dungeon, clear floors while mapping and doing bar quests, beat the area boss, continue to next set of floors. Generally if you enjoyed one Etrian game then all the others are worth playing because they are more or less very similar to each other. You can play whatever one looks interesting but Untold 1, Untold 2 or V are the ones I'd personally recommend first. Nexus is good but the amount of content can be overwhelming for a new player, especially with 19 classes to choose from and double the amount of area to explore.
1 and 2 have remakes (Untold 1 and Untold 2) that each have a story mode, 3 is on the DS but is really unique, 4 is more like a normal JRPG, 5 is a solid EO reboot and Nexus is like the last hurrah of Etrian before the 3DS was finally dead.
Untold 1 and Untold 2 both have pre-made parties as well if the party creation aspect is daunting, I started with those two and they helped me get more comfortable with the series gameplay.

Zoo Tycoon with all expansions
After I seeing this very hilarious video
I had a giant nostalgia rush for the game and decided to play it again, this time through the campaign mode (as a child, I just messed around in free form mode with max money). The game's addicting and just as fun as I remember it.

Etrian Odyssey Nexus
I unlocked subclasses not long after the last post, looking at what my choices were for this party it looks like I'm gonna play it safe and mostly go for passives to improve the base class except Arcanist who I'm giving more options to because they often end up having a lot of downtime. Highlander and Arcanist gained some heal passives for the party, Hero and War Magus gained some defensive passives so they can survive up front and Zodiac gained some niche damage passives that won't be useful except when ailments are up.
party is;
Highlander (sub/Hero); Pathfinder
Hero (sub/Highlander); Vanguard
War Magus (sub/Harbinger); Dead Apostle
Arcanist (sub/Sovereign); Mystic
Zodiac (sub/Nightseeker); Stargazer
I beat the Undersea Grotto boss pretty easily, I used Clearance from the Sovereign subclass to stop it from doing its evasion bullshit and then nuked it down quick enough that it would only do it sparingly, and even then I mainly attempted to bind the head to make sure it wouldn't. I also managed to bind the arms even though it had resistance so that basically nullified its offense for the first half of the fight. I went pretty balls to the wall on TP usage since a dead enemy can't hurt you.

Rayman Origins
Dunno, I felt a nostalgia rush through me since the last time I played it was a while ago. It is, after all, well over 8 years old now, so maybe that's why I had nostalgia, though the levels are accessible in the Legends game (not all of them). I really love the game. It can be repetitive that if you clear a level, you have to do a speed run variant of it, but it doesn't bother me.
There's a huge lack of Rayman alts in the game, so I used the Rayman one most of the time, which is my favorite. I do enjoy using the pink Princess Teensy though, there's quite some satisfaction rescuing trapped creatures and boob fairies as a princess.
Nothing was too challenging so far, though one point at the second world, I kept getting killed trying to get a Skull Coin that was underneath some spikes and with alternating winds. Also, it took me more tries than most levels in the Speed Run challenge in Piping Hot level in Ice/Fire World.
Excellent game, think I still enjoy this more than most Mario platformers.

1. Go to mine Quartz
2. die.
3. Attempt to go back and use lava to avoid fall damage, it doesn't work.
4. die.
5. Remember I made fire resistance potions a while back and use them to fall into the lava and reduce fall damage.
6. Don't die, and get the stuff I lost back.
and that's how I got my items back from the Nether.

Most of the time, Rayman inflating and then exploding was just because he got hit and then got combo'd to death by hot grills on the bottom. Also, some badly placed enemies that shoot fire at you before you can see them, they're not nice (though midway in the level, there's a nice heart inside a jug, so I tend to just kill them.
I did clear the level though, getting the trophy wasn't too hard for me.
