Are there any fellow Etrian Odyssey III adventurers in the crowd? I thought I'd try throwing this out here as well in case there were people that could make use of it. This is taken from an Atlus posting on Facebook:
Especially a face-melting game like Etrian Odyssey III. <_<
So, for those of you in the Escapist community playing EO3, how does a tool for planning/distributing builds sound to you? Is it the kind of thing you'd use or just a neat idea on paper?
Some additional details, derived from the Atlus forum:
It's advertisement, in a way, but why not spread the word of a tool for a game that people might be playing here?Happy holidays, Atlus Faithful!
To celebrate, we here at Waveform have released a fully featured Etrian Odyssey III Skill Calculator application for Windows in the hopes of making your life in the labyrinth a little bit easier.
Atlus was, in their usual amazing and community-supportive way, kind enough to give our tool a shout-out in their Twitter and Facebook feeds but we thought we'd post about it here in the heart of the Etrian Odyssey community itself.
Download Here! [http://www.fileplanet.com/217860/210000/fileinfo/Etrian-Odyssey-III-Skill-Calculator-]
You can use this calculator to not only plan out your party and perfect builds, but to pass those builds around to other people as well. The application uses lightweight XML files for saving and distribution and, as an added bonus, the XML file itself is completely readable for those that don't have the skill calculator installed!
What do I mean by "fully featured?" Well, here are a few of the things the tool offers:
If that's not enough, I suppose you could always just download it to look at all the pretty Etrian Odyssey III artwork we packed into it.
- *Comprehensive details on the game's less-than-translucent skills
*Create or recreate your EO3 characters right down to selecting their avatar artwork
*Informs you if the number of points your build uses will require sub classing, retirement, or boosted level caps
*Tracks skill point expenditure individually across common, primary, and sub class skill sets
*Save and distribute your builds in lightweight, legible XML even to people that don't have the calculator
*Session memory: want to change your class temporarily to check something? It will remember where all of your points were spent when you switch back!
*Further updates planned: we'd like to make changes based on what you, the users, have to say!
We hope you enjoy it and share your ideas for super-powered builds or ridiculous team combinations with the rest of the community! We'd love to hear them ourselves.
Naturally, the team welcomes feedback. We'd love to hear what you think! If you find bugs, let me know. No, seriously. If you find bugs I wholeheartedly intend to put my boot up the [insufficient data] of one of the developers. It's what I do around here. :devil: If you have any problems, suggestions, or even just comments, you can reach us at: waveformfeedback@gmail.com
Or I suppose you could just post right here, since you've already come this far.
Happy holidays, Faithful, and may your days in the labyrinth be a hair less than lethal (but just as thrilling)!
