Grazza

Have given up with Etrian Odyssey Untold (couldn't beat the Core), and am getting into III properly now.

Yeah, I've definitely found III the most baffling and hard-to-get-into of the four. It's the one that introduced sub-classing, so I feel you're meant to want the skills from most of the classes. Personally, I've thought "Right, what do I want? Attack, defence, elements, binds and healing", and am going to select the ones who are the best at each of those.

I sometimes hoard skill points, especially in the older games where it's more important to spend them wisely. Looking forward to getting back to EO III, but I'm writing a book first, so want to finish that. When I get back to it, I'm going to change my team to Gladiator, Hoplite, Zodiac, Wildling and Monk. Basically swap my Princess for a Wildling. I'm really missing binds and status effects.

Oh, EO III? Forgot about it, to be honest (left it at the 2nd Stratum). Will get back to it once I've completed Untold (current progress is that I've Retired my Classic team and need to build them back up).

(Uses Ariane Thread) Oh darn, I meant to use the Take point first!

Thanks very much, Retro, I appreciate the thought

I'm sure I added you back in March, nando! :P Unless I entered the wrong code (I'll check).

Hello Ashley. Going by the animation you're working on, I wondered if you might be interested in these photos of sand sculptures, especially Poseidon. Thought it might be an interesting reference: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y149/GraemeCassidy/Great%20Yarmouth%20Sand%20Sculptures/poseidon.jpg

Thanks Ashley, I love the richness of the waves. I am a fan of the cartoony style - in fact, it reminds me of a saying "Learn the rules so you can break the rules". keep up the good work.
