Best VGM 305 - Etrian Odyssey - The Withered Forest

[Meishali]

I love Petal Bridge from Etrian Odyssey 2 ! I wish you could put it in your B VGM list !

FFFF, you're so epic man :C

[sorabain]

I just had to level boost a LOT...

[alasanof]

I've never herd of this game, is it good?

[PombarEnglishman]

It's an old fashioned first person dungeon crawling RPG, where you draw your own maps on the touch screen, make your own team out of a range of classes, develop these characters through skill points (put into abilities, stat boosters, passive effects, etc). A ye olde RPG in modern trappings.

It's also hardcore and brutal in its difficulty if you're not constantly paying attention and being cautious. For all this, though, it's excellent. Plus, I think it made me about 40 times better at RPGs.

@PombarEnglishman hehehe when you said old fasioned I figured , oh wow it has colors!!! Different generation :P

@PombarEnglishman "Plus, I think it made me about 40 times better at RPGs." Preach. :)

[raigntk]

i know what game im buying next month ^^

[raigntk]

ok so i was able to buy the game and its freakin awesome but its hard as crud xD

[ZenomBeatmop]

got this game a week ago and still have to beat Fenrir. the game's tough & incredibly daunting at times, but hearing this music is keeping me going. Thanks! ^-^

[wolvebuck]

Wow, this one is surprisingly good.

[squarepox]

the music = 60% the reason I play RPG's...

You have some natural power to post some songs in games I'm actually doing!! I'm on the 19th floor of the 4th Stratum : Withered Forest! ;)

I haven't heard the 5th Stratum yet, but this one is one of my fav. in the game

[Sephiko]

Yeah, he's surprised me a few times with those powers of his.

[Kindacute13]

This song and area in the game was my favorite. A cool looking place, the story is kicking up more than it has been, and I remember once I got here, I played Etrian Odyssesy non-stop until I finally beat the Final Boss of the game. XD

Good pick. ^_^

[BlouMEGA]

hahaa,I didn't play it yet, but I recall having that same attitude sometimes over great RPG's ^^

by the way, just like that, out of curiousity, how many hours did it take you to finish the game, story-wise. I was thinking of buying it, but I'm just a little skeptical :P

[GarlyleWilds]

The game's a long one. There's no actual counter in-game, but I'd guess it takes about... 30-40 hours to complete the "Main game". And that's assuming you only ever train up one party...

[ZenomBeatmop]

In what sense are you skeptical? In that it won't be long enough? I've been playing for a week. Spent over 10 hours and am trying to beat the first boss on Floor 5. There's 25 floors (with an extra 5 at the end) so I'd say about a good 40 hours play overall at least.

[BlouMEGA]

Well I bought it recently, and it was worth every penny! Very cool game.

[ZenomBeatmop]

good call ;)

[Sephiko]

Few songs affect me as deeply as this one has.

I need this game.

[VGKing]

Sounds like something on the GBA. Or in Mother 3. Maybe the haunted mansion or something. I don't know, haven't played EO.

[GarlyleWilds]

The game itself has been on a few systems, so the music quality didn't take a particularly big jump for the DS [although if you've got both disks to the soundtrack you can hear the slight difference, it's minor]. It's still beautiful as is.

[whomyis]

Epic feel from 1:03

A really good dungeon-crawler game. Can't wait for the sequel to come to Europe.
