Later in the game, you can also unlock dish development for party buffs, advertising for extra moolah, town development, as well as grimoire equipping, trading and recycling. Tough special enemies such as F.O.E.s are also a frequent presence that must be avoided at first, and navigating your way around the various floors while running away from them involves some strategy of its own, whether it be buying time by leading them into pits or using environmental features to take them out.Įxploring continues to be both stressful and fun, thanks to the ability to look for secret passages and chests as well as gather items that can be sold for money and unlocking gear at the shop. Nothing can be more damaging to your pride than eking out a close but satisfying victory against a boss, only to be nearly wiped out by normal enemies on the next floor or dungeon.
You'll need every trick in the book, too, as enemies in the game are tough even in Standard difficulty. Characters also have a limited Force mode that gives them access to additional skills as well as a desperation Force Break move that can either do massive damage or literally save your party via healing or damage negation. In story mode, for example, you can debuff foes with War Mage Chloe then use Sovereign Arianna to take out those debuffs right before they expire and convert them into an almighty attack. The various roles themselves are quite interesting and have some good synergies. Granted, the cast is filled with several common anime personalities such as the kind yet ditzy princess, the comic relief best pal, the rough and snarky old dude and even an NPC cook that acts like an aloof Japanese "tsundere." Folks who like a more traditional EO2 experience also can opt for Classic Mode, which skips the new story but also allows you to better fine tune your party makeup in the beginning by having your pick from 13 various classes. The story itself doesn't exactly break new ground though I did find the characters in this ragtag group of adventurers to be quite likable. As with pretty much every RPG, however, things are not what they seem and the group ultimately finds itself dealing with far more mysterious and dangerous circumstances, as well as the sudden emergence of the titular Fafnir Knight. This time, the story revolves around Caledonian princess Arianna, who is tasked with upholding tradition by journeying to the ruins of an old temple with her trusted associates for an important ritual. Like The Millennium Girl, EO2U is a re-imagining of a previous entry in the series, complete with a new story mode as well as voice acting and cutscenes. Since then, I've developed an affinity for the Etrian games, including remake " Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl." Fast forward to the present and yet another game joins the fray with "Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold" The Fafnir Knight." By the time I was done, even the things that seemed weird at first, like having to literally map dungeons yourself with a stylus, actually made a lot of sense - certainly way more sense than, say, shirtless jeans beach volleyball. The game proved to actually be quite fun. Somewhere along the way of initially forcing myself to play it for review purposes, however, something interesting happened.

My first ever game in the series was actually " Etrian Odyssey IV: The Lost Titan." By 2013 standards, that game looked certifiably ancient, whether it be its old-school dungeon layout or classic Dragon Quest-style battles. To be honest, I was actually late to the Etrian Odyssey party. I bring this up because of my own experience with the Etrian Odyssey series, which I admittedly have played while wearing jeans but - this is very important - never shirtless. Plus, who the heck plays beach volleyball in jeans? Either Tom Cruise has Spud Webb's mad hops or that net ain't regulation height.

Take the shirtless volleyball scene from the movie "Top Gun," for example. Follow Technobubble poobah Jason Hidalgo's shenanigans on Twitter and deception sometimes go hand in hand. Technobubble covers games, gadgets, technology and all things geek.
