I believe I'm nearing the end of my journey. I'm currently jumping between floors 8 and 9 of the Clock Tower. This labyrinth is HUGE. I absolutely love the amount of sidequests and strolls they throw in to break it up though! Also, the battle with Margaret was neat, if not too easy. My main character is currently level 72, with everyone else at a level average of 65 or so. I have pretty much everyone in the game in great fighting health. I loves me my Persona. |

TRIPLE POST! More people should be playing this game.I finished the game on the P4 path and it only took around 90 hours or so! I am having trouble with fighting Elizabeth/Zeus though. I can easily get her to the point where she heals herself, but then I'm destroyed.Any tips, @VofEscaflowne? After this I'm moving to Majora's Mask 3D, then maybe playing NG+ through the P3 path. I really fell in love with this game, although the main point of the plot makes little sense: We met awesome new people who helped us grow and change! We're better off because of them, and we are more mature! And then, the expected "None of you will recall this" happens. Kind of silly to use growth through friendships as a theme when that growth is then negated.

@plootI started with IV and really enjoyed it. I think Persona Q contains pretty much all the elements that made EOIV enjoyable for me, and adds characters I love. I don't think that loving Persona Q means you'd automatically love Etrian Odyssey, but you might still want to check them out, especially since they're on sale for $15 on the eShop right now. They don't have interesting characters, but the dungeon-crawling is top-notch, and there's plenty of those "maze puzzles" you love. And they're pretty different from the ones seen in P-Q, too! It's amazing how they don't seem to run out of ideas. The character customization options are very different, and the combat is probably more balanced. I actually just purchased both Etrian Odyssey Untold and SMT Soul Hackers because of the sale, and because I'm having so much fun with Persona Q right now. Probably a mistake (where will I find the time!?), but oh well, there are worse problems to have. |

Finished the game at last. Great stuff, though as usual with most RPGs, it's overstayed its welcome a bit for me.
I'll admit I lowered the game to the easiest difficulty setting for the final boss. I just didn't want to face it and fail, only to have to do everything again. As expected, it's a convoluted fight, there are multiple forms, and they heal. Eff that. I was ready to be done.
I think my favorite part of these Etrian Odyssey games is definitely charting the dungeons. I think I get the same pleasure from them as I do playing, say, a Picross game: you methodically reveal the whole picture by figuring it out bit by bit... the comparison is actually a good one!
The combat is also fun and challenging, but there's just too much of it in general. I would LOVE for a new mode in these games that basically halved the random encounters and gave you double XP. If I could finish these games in 35 hours… well, I probably would complain that they should be 20 hours long. But it's still a whole lot better than 70 hours! |
