I'm sorry if you thought I came off as a douche. My post isn't directed at the user above me or anyone else here. I was just posting my feel worthy moment playing Blizzard of Faith & Revenge. It's not a old game but gave me lots of nostalgia moments of my childhood. When the game started talking about Contra old NES game. The famous Konami code(up up down down left right left right BABA) to navigate the maze. Also one of the character in game is talking about beating the game with one life which gave me nostalgia moments of my childhood when I beat the game for the first time with one life. Just felt this was a good feel worthy moment for me to share.

Plenty of games give me nostalgia moments. It doesn't have to be a very old game. I started playing Blizzard of Faith & Revenge(Touhou RPG) and got to a area that started playing stage 1 Contra music. I nostalgia hard when I heard the title screen of Contra playing. Also another area had Castlevania Bloody Tears for the battle music. Really enjoying this game with all the humor.

I haven't played EOU but if it's same as EO1 DS post game, Protector is a must. Use the Protector's shield skill that raises elemental resist antifire, anticold, antivolt and immunize from a medic. I only played EO1 and EO2. I liked the improvements they made for EO2 but the game was too easy with the force skills. I will never forget the first encounter with Muckdile's in EO2.

Floor 20 Last 2 guardians before the final boss. Mirror of High God weak against CLD and NTR and Magatama of the High God weak against DRK. Not much to say other than total rush beat down. My preparation for the final battle. I reset all my characters stats using Tomb of Reincarnation. Not enough money to raise stats on all characters and only characters in my party that could deal damage would be Utusho, Parsee, Wiggle, and Yuyuko. You want your front line members to have high physical and spirit resists for this fight. Also decent death resist is needed. I choose Sanae, Satori, Yuyuko, and Kanako. They all have high spirit resist especially Yuyuko and decent physical resist except Satori. Subclasses I used for each character. Sanae Enchanter - Boosts buffing skills. Miracle Fruit(normally 30% all stats boost) gives 48% all stats boost with enhanced buff passive skill. Yuyuko Transcendent - Passive skills raise stats and damage. Satori Strategist - Passive skills reduces buff decay rate, boost damage and damage taken. Kanako Hexer - Passive skill Enhanced Hexes 20% bonus to debuffs. Spellcard Hex White Curse lowers enemies DEF and MND. Final Boss Ame-no Murakumo weak against DRK. It has 3 phases. First Phase uses only normal attacks and AOE attack Ame-no Murakumo Slash.(deals physical and spirit damage) Second Phase once HP is below 75%. It uses Divine Exile heals 50% HP. Gains new attacks Rasetsu Fist(defense ignoring physical attack) and Yakumo's Futsu no Mitama no Surugi(physical attack that drains MP and heals based on the amount of MP drained usually heals over 200,000 HP) Third phase once HP is below 66%. It will use World Devouring Calamity(reduces all MP to 0) Below 50% HP uses Grace of Tama no Oya no Mikoto to heal its HP back 50% and max out DEF and MND. Below 40% HP uses World Devouring Destruction.(all characters HP down to 1) At 25% HP uses Divine Messenger's Light(summons 2 guardian statues) then uses World Shaking Military Rule.(AOE stat up 100%) Gains 2 new attacks Start of Heavenly Demise(powerful AOE spirit attack) and True Ame-no Murakumo's Slash(powerful spirit attack) Normally this fight will take most people anywhere from 10-20 minutes. With my strategy it took me little over 6 minutes. Really surprised I was able to beat him so fast. Simple strategy Sanae and Satori buff Yuyuko and Kanako with Miracle Fruit(raise all stats) and heal with Yasaka's Divine Wind. Yuyuko dealing all the damage with Deadly Swallow Tail.(dark attack ignores 50% MND) Kanako debuff DEF and MND with Hex White Curse. The main thing to watch out for is the final phase when Ame-no Murakumo summons 2 guardian statues. He will follow up with Word Shaking Military Rule.(AOE all stats 100%) Delay is fast so you need to make sure you have a damage dealer ready to take out both statues before they receive buffs. If you don't kill the statues and they have buffs then it will be a Game Over. Ending in short. The originator of the incident was the Ame-no Murakumo, given life as the tsukumogami. It remained silent after defeat. The sword was sealed in the Hakurei Shrine. Reimu, Yukari, and Byakuren combined their powers to erect a secure barrier around it. Byakuren mentions the sword can break the barrier anytime if it wanted to but the barrier is to keep other people from stealing the sword. My thoughts on character tier in my random playthrough. High Tier Sanae is incredible with all the Moriya Shrine members. Even without she is good. Can take care of random encounters easily with all Moriya members bonus in party. Satori able to mimic any spellcard makes her very versatile. Also her passive skill to boost damage on everyone is excellent. Kanako is amazing able to deal four types of damage and very durable. Can also inflict Heavy which is bugged in game making her even better. Cheese Tier(In between High and Mid) Yuyuko Powerful dark attack that can even auto kill lots of bosses. Mid Tier Mokou, Suwako, Youmu, Utsuho, Wriggle Low Tier Chen, Ran, Parsee

I spit beer over my keyboard when I saw Stake and your user name. Put the keyboard in the dishwasher and using a spare for the time being. I don't like olives and pickle.

I never used Mages. Was assuming they were not that good from trying them out in Etrian 1 and 2. Guess my party setup probably made the game harder. Random encounters were easy but I had some problem on certain bosses. I used Knight defender, Princess lovely voice, Rogue bow, Samurai don't remember

Floor 16 Black Goddess of Fertility weak against SPI, WND, and PHY. While this boss only has 342,000 HP it regenerates over 80,000 HP per turn. You have to deal enough damage to kill it before it can regain all his HP back. First thing to do is buff your damange dealers before attacking. Then hit with everything you got to overcome its HP regen. Gambler is a excellent subjob to use for this fight. Passive skill High Stakes 60% dmg boost for double the MP cost. After buffing only took me two attacks to kill. Floor 18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHqr6zR6I5s Golden Orb of Reverse Time, Forward Time, and Canopy Fighting against 3 Orbs Reverse Time uses strong AOE fire, cold, and nature attacks. Forward Time uses attacks that halves HP, status debuff, heals 30,000 HP, and it can also revive the other Golden Orbs if it is the only one remaining Canopy heals for 100,000 HP or buff all allies defenses by 50% Best strategy for me was to kill Reverse Time first. All of the AOE attacks it uses hits hard. Then kill Forward Time second since it will revive both other Golden Orbs if it is the last one remaining. Floor 13 Last optional boss need 72+ achievements and 400 battle points with Komachi. Shikiekei Yamaxanadu weak against FIR and NTR. Compared to the first game she is much easier. First turn she will use Wandering Sin.(dark AOE attack with chance to inflict all status ailment) She will use Focus at 80%, 60%, 40%, 20%HP and follow up with Last Judgement(single hit spirit attack) which ignores defense and deals 30,000 damage. Also when she uses Focus her DEF and MND increases greatly. Last Judgement always target your left most character so you can use your least favorite Touhou character as a sacrifice or use Mokou with resurrection.(90% chance to revive after being KOed using 7TP) I beat her down so fast, I got the achievement Waifu beater.

Never played EO4 but EO1 and 2 beginning is difficult especially when your under leveled with no skills to abuse. Once you get enough skills unlocked. Cheese that MP recovery on Bard, Hexer dmg, etc and the game is easy until usually the last stratum. If you want to play a game similar to Etrian but more difficult try out 7th Dragon(Etrian with a overworld map) on the DS. It's in Japanese but there is a English translation for the game.

This is my ideal list of games I enjoy playing minus the Zelda games. Replace Zelda with Ys and the list is perfect. All my favorite DQ games. Like all the ones with job classes. Bullet hell I enjoy pretty much any. Also that Kanako is super kawaii.

PC games would dominate the list but I'll list some games I like from various consoles.

Floor 15 Glowing Azure Giant weak against FIR and SPI. This boss buffs itself to 100% in all stats starting and again at 50% HP. Can use Rasetsu Fist DEF ignoring physical attack that deals 6-7k dmg, wind and nature AOE attacks. Characters in the first and second slot should have high physical resistance especially the first slot. I didn't have Tenshi to use in this playthrough to remove buffs. I am under leveled and was expecting a severe ass kicking for the first time. Ended up kicking ass instead. This boss isn't as easy as it looks especially being 7 levels under the challenge level. My awesomeness even amazes me sometimes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeyqH5JKVDM Yukari Yakumo weak against NTR and DBF. She uses AOE spirit and wind attack. At 33% HP uses Great Calamity(reduces all MP to 0) like she did in the first game. While she is weak to debuff, it doesn't help much debuffing her. She will remove the debuff right away. It's better to buff your own characters instead. The no grinding in game finally caught up to me. Was 9 levels under the challenge requirement. This is the first boss I lost to. Close fight could have won with one more attack. I tried two more times and the results were even worse. Got destroyed the second time and third fight wasn't any better. Like the old cheesy Kung Fu movies, time for some training and come back to avenge my loss. I ended up grinding 5 levels and this fight became another rush beat down.

Labyrinth of Touhou 2 Very boned, how would a normal person fight a Vampire? I'm no JoJo, slapping Flandre or attempting to lock her in a room would get me killed for sure. How would I adapt to it? Unlock the achievement Joestar's Secret Technique(requires running from battles 200 times) or stay in the Human Village and become a NEET.

Floor 14 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds0AWzNUaFA Optional boss Yuyuko Saigyouji weak against FIR and WND. She will start the fight with her strongest attack Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana.(dark attack with high death effect) You will need high death and dark resistance. If you can survive and recover from the first barrage, rest of the fight is fairly easy. At 33% HP she will focus and follow up with Saigyouji Flawless Nirvana again. You either need to kill her ASAP or prepare to take another hit. Floor 12 Another optional boss Flandre Scarlet is weak against FIR, CLD, and DBF. I was really under leveled for this fight but decided to try it anyways. The key to winning this fight is to keep Flandre's stats debuffed and have high DRK resist for your first slot and good MYS resistance for everyone in the front row. First thing you want to do is debuff ATK, MAG, and SPD on Flandre. I didn't have anyone who can debuff SPD since I'm only using the 12 characters picked by someone to do my challenge run. Even with STR or MAG debuffed to -50% all of Flandre's attacks still deal massive damage. She will use at 66% HP Forbidden Fruit.(strong mystic attack) At 33% HP she will use Great Calamity.(decreases everyone's HP to 1 even characters in the back row) At this point it is a damage race to see who kills who first. I didn't choose to heal and just buffed my characters to finish the fight ASAP. At 20% HP she will use Laveatein.(strongest fire attack in game) This deals insane damage like Master Spark.

Floor 14 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqLVLXJhcFU Memorized Knowledge weak against DRK and PHY. This boss will buff MAG to 100% and then use Ether Flare(mystic attack) and repeat the process. A buffed Ether Flare will kill anyone but Komachi and Satori. At least one person needs to be able to take a hit from Ether Flare and be able to switch in your damage dealers. Satori is perfect for this with her high HP and MYS resist. Also her passive skill Eyes that Perceive Reality.(enemy attacks is calculated as if buffs are non existant) One thing to note is this boss has low DEF and high MND. Best to bring damage dealers that target DEF. This is the first time Chen is extremely useful. Chen has very high speed and short delay on her spellcards allowing her to hit several times before the boss is able to act. Floor 8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxpzR3ullmY Optional boss Yuuka Kazami weak against FIR and CLD. The main thing to watch out for in this fight is when Yuuka is at 33% HP. She will use focus and then follow up with Master Spark which will kill everyone. My backup in case I can't kill Yuuka before Master Spark goes off is Mokou with resurrection.(90% chance to revive after being KOed) I was able to kill her and didn't have to resort to switching Mokou in to take the hit from Master Spark.

I think live action would be hard to pull off but never know. It's a win win if it comes out good or so bad it's good. Just no in between please. Also the fake trailer looked good other than Link looked really old and he was right handed. Had a debate about Link being right or left handed on another forum I visit. Was worth the free popcorn. Finding voice acters for Link shouldn't be a problem... Maybe he needs a sidekick like Jay and Silent Bob.
