There are too many good games coming out around the beginning of the year.

With the release of EO4, the 3DS goes from absolute shit to being the best system this gen.

>>169609
No, that's what Fire Emblem is doing.

>>169610

Hey, hey. Both games are good. EO4 will be better, though

I'm glad this system is finally getting timesink RPGs, though. And since GTA V got delayed, I might be able to put some money towards FE:A and Soul Hackers as well.

This is the first year where I actively have to turn down games because I know I won't have the time to play them.

It's out! Rev up those 3DSes!

I forgot how terrible FOEs were.

>>169790
Even on plus4chan, F.O.E.!

>>169790
>>169791
FOE?

>>169792
Enemies way stronger than anything else nearby that show up as an orange circle on the field which moves a step every time you move a step or take a turn in combat.

Officially it stands for Field-On Enemy/Formido Oppugnatura Exsequens (depending on the language), but basically everyone thinks of it as "fucking overpowered enemy".

Thanks, and now I learned abput the FOE's THE HARD WAY.
Also, this game can get hard is matter of seconds. But I'm liking it more.

The worst thing about them is that they keep moving when you're in battle, so they can actually join a battle that's already in progress if you're not careful. Even boss battles.

So, is no one playing Untold?
Because it's pretty good. IV spoiled me with graphics, and I was having trouble getting back into the first game because of that, so a remake was more than welcome to me.

I would be if

>I didn't already play through IV this year
>I didn't already give Atlus enough money this year (EOIV, SMTIV, SMT: Soul Hackers...give me a break Atlus--my wallet is not that deep!)
>I didn't have other games to buy in October (Rune Factory 4 says hello, as does AA5 later this month)

I'm interested in the game, but it came out at a horrible time for me. I did dig those remixed EO1 tracks I heard in the demo, though. Took me right back to 2007 and it felt good.

I want to buy Untold because of Sega's shaky localization policies, but y'know, money.

>>181651
I've been trying the demo, which is my first try at an Etrian Odyssey game. It's pretty sweet: it's quite engrossing to draw a map while juking around purple antelopes and living piles of rocks that look like other, not living piles of rocks.

I really like that random encounters are something that happens from filling up a meter you can see, instead of something that can happen any step; it makes them tremendously less annoying. And for that matter, I appreciate that money management does not feel like a complete waste of time.

As a side note, this is the first JRPG I've ever heard of where one of the party members is Canadian.

Anyway, hit the level cap, now I'm mostly deciding whether to do a physical or digital copy (same price, so it's slight convenience versus SD card space and potential resale); I can carry the save from the demo over either way, right?

HEY GUYS. Untold is on sale for half off ($20) in the eShop until tomorrow.

I bought it the other day. 10 hours and 2 stratums in. I like it, even though I've played 1 before.
