Title: Re: Etrian Odyssey 4 Post by: Hawkbit on March 07, 2013, 01:15:30 AM I bought this and Fire Emblem with a 3DS, and EO4 by far gets more gameplay. This iteration is really good so far, but feels just a tad easier in the beginning.
Title: Re: Etrian Odyssey 4 Post by: Zetor on March 07, 2013, 01:25:03 AM I've been reading about this series, and I'm wondering...
How annoying is the entire mapping part? I don't have a DS, so no idea how well the touchscreen works / doesn't work. Title: Re: Etrian Odyssey 4 Post by: Hawkbit on March 07, 2013, 07:49:08 AM Hard to say, because I think people will either love it or hate it. It scratches a major pseudo-OCD itch I have.
Did you play Grimrock? Imagine Grimrock with the auto-map feature off. You could technically play the game without creating maps, but that would require some crazy memory skills for dungeon layouts. I like it, but it won't be for everyone. Title: Re: Etrian Odyssey 4 Post by: Hawkbit on March 07, 2013, 09:27:36 AM Ugh, I forgot this series only has one save slot. My kid tried to play and killed my five hours save game. Hardcore?
Title: Re: Etrian Odyssey 4 Post by: Yegolev on March 07, 2013, 11:12:09 AM I enjoyed the mapping in the first one, but I get sweaty looking at grid paper.
Title: Re: Etrian Odyssey 4 Post by: Zetor on March 08, 2013, 02:26:25 PM thxinfo!
My last experience with grid-paper mapping was Bard's Tale 1-2. At that time I swore I'll never play a game without a functional automap again. I'm tempted, but not tempted enough to get a DS. :awesome_for_real: Title: Re: Etrian Odyssey 4 Post by: Margalis on March 10, 2013, 02:54:28 PM The game does map to a certain degree. It doesn't fill in the walls but it does fill in the places you've walked. At least in the demo I walked around an area then filled the lines in at the end, was pretty simple.
Title: Re: Etrian Odyssey 4 Post by: Bann on March 10, 2013, 07:25:46 PM Ive started to settle into: Mazes - map it. Caves - :awesome_for_real:
