Etrian Odyssey III Details

sevex

Starman DX
(Stolen from GoNintendo.)

- All character classes and character art is being completely redone
- more on revealed classes

Prince/Princess - grants party-wide buffs.
Phalanx - High-defense frontline fighter, wields polearms
Monk - Excels at fighting bare-handed, can use chi to heal allies
Shinobi - may have environmental interaction abilities, stealth
Pirate - Excels at fighting groups of enemies, not great at 1-on-1 battles

- partially takes place on the high seas
- mapping function has 23 different icons
- icons feature ocean currents, islands with various sorts of terrain (rocky, mountainous, level, etc.)
- Multiplayer mode allows one to five players to simultaneously explore a patch of ocean

Looks like we'll be mapping out land and sea overworld areas. Should be good!

"Stolen from GoNintendo"

which was stolen from XYZ gaming site.

I can't get over how shitty GoNintendo is.

Edit: Sorry, just raging. Game looks cool.

Good news! Hopefully it won't be so buggy like the 2nd one *HINT ATLUSUSA HINT*.

That's a good thing. No bugs this time!

Well extra development doesn't always mean extra testing. I didn't find any real serious bugs in the last one though, other than moving really slow when I shouldn't.

Looking good. I like how the maps have more graphical tiles.
