Blue pumpkin FOE is the best Pumpkin FOE

you're so right but i want to give a shoutout to the orange one specifically from 2 because this little freak is one of the most diabolical FOEs in the entire series.

the 6th stratum battle music in EO4 is great why don't people like it :(( it's my fav too, always hurts to see people dog on it whenever postgame battle osts become a topic

FR FR, I don't think it's my favorite (Shiver is, this is perhaps unsurprising) but it's peak man, it's peak.

i only started playing eo because i didn't want to look like a poser. back in late 2018 when i was 13 the joker reveal for smash bros dropped and i thought it was the coolest thing ever. i immediately wanted to play persona 5 but of course i didnt want people to think i had never heard of persona before smash bros popularized it. i scrolled through atlus's wikipedia page, found eo, and said i was an eo fan who started playing persona through the q games. then i tried eou and it was actually fun

Honest to god I think that rocks, it's always super fun hearing how newer fans get into the series.

I was 14 when I tried the demo for EOU at random right off the eshop and decided it was the coolest thing I had ever played, and had to buy it on release (this was back in 2013! God that feels like forever ago!)

guessssssssss who remembered they were still logged into this bloooooog btw

hi, 2nd mod, actually only mod now! I guess I can just say it's just mod now? it's been a minute. i hope everyone's gamin' good these days.

i 100%'d 1-3 HD, so now i'm taking matters into my own hands and running a heavily inspired tabletop in pf2e? wild

this isn't like, an art blog, but take some art highlights so y'all know i'm not dead! I'll clean up the inbox at some point i swear.

The Sentinels (and maybe also Blizzard King) likely lead to me becoming a furry

yeah same man

[etrianodysseyconfessions]

Honestly, I think kvasir was himukai’s self insert.

the way i made a sound somewhere between repulsion and a chortle kasjhdflkasd

[etrianodysseyconfessions]

So...uh...How about them Nexus? I made a Hero/War Magus/Gunner/Sovereign/Zodiac team... It's fun.

[etrianodysseyconfessions]

I was watching the old Justice League cartoon recently and got to the episode A Knight of Shadows and I thought "Etrigan Odyssey" and since I can't get that out of my head I've decided you all need to suffer with me.

[etrianodysseyconfessions]

I realllly hate when people label some classes as “bad” just because they aren’t broken to hell and back. Like, EO has pretty simple team building all things considered and even then it’s not hard to just… look up how to build a EO team.

PREACH MAN

[etrianodysseyconfessions]

I love how only like a day or two after your return, everyone starts shitting on Himukai. I love how we can all come together and collectively agree that we hate this man with a passion. GOOD FOR US

I'm so glad the "we all fuckin' HATE himukai" energy has not left this fandom since i was last active

*puffing a cigar and pulling up a seat like an old man*

I remember a time... Long long ago... when the dlc for Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir knight was announced.... gods....

it was a warzone man

[etrianodysseyconfessions]

i feel like if they HAVE to keep himukai, they need to get someone to reign him in and tell him "no". dude's designs are getting a little too, um, bold especially nowadays

(this was the confession mentioned in the other Himukai related one, I just think it's worth posting for posterity because I do agree with this pretty wholeheartedly)

[etrianodysseyconfessions]

I used a titan killer build on my first play through of EOV. I kinda ruined the game for myself tbh. I lost all strategy, and I waited for bosses to kill my pugilist and then retry with the same strats. I could barely do any postgame because of the build. It was kinda funny still to see bosses die in a few turns tho.

[etrianodysseyconfessions]

god i love himukais art style from eoiii onward, its so striking like he couldve really been great if he wasnt a worthless despicable pos. he couldve seen so much more success if he just stuck to drawing normal stuff and didnt alienate potential fans and clients. i do think that atlus as a company isnt really bothered by stuff like "morals" or "human decency" so an eo without himukai may be a long ways off💔

it still sucks SO much because it's such a [image related], there's another confession in the inbox that says they should absolutely pull the reigns in on Himukai a fair bit more, and i think i agree with that. He does really good work when he's not being a complete pest.

[etrianodysseyconfessions]

I can't stop restarting EO games because I can never make a party that feels right lmao

i've done this repeatedly, i have like 6 eo2u saves, i understand anon

(A response to the ask talking about how the portraits look like little girls)

A lot of the portraits in the new games are like this, and it’s super disappointing!! It doesn’t help that there’s a lack of colored ones (esp black portraits) that aren’t in a stereotypical/appropriated class or… just half naked or whitewashed in their alt palette.

It’s kind of a missed opportunity, and I see why people are wary about it.

Hope this changes, but given the artist’s history? :’’’’]]]]] fat chance

It's suuuuuper unfortunate, I do hope newer projects lean towards a different artistic direction though (since I know they still wanted to pivot in a newer direction after nexus, and have said these HD remasters are very much 'testing the water in a post-3ds gaming market'), preferably without Himukai involved at all...

(though I wonder if they 'd want to avoid that option out of sheer "brand recognition" factor)

[etrianodysseyconfessions]

Kujura could step on me and I'd thank him tbh

oh thank god a take i can Get Behind

[etrianodysseyconfessions]

I really don’t like how half of the female portraits look like children who are sexualized. It has ruined classes for me before and I just hope it stops in the future.

I absolutely agree, though i do have an answer as to Why It's Like That and I'm afraid it kinda sucks!

Series main character artist, Yuji Himukai has.... A reputation for NSFW art that's in fairly poor taste! Mostly involving characters with really unfortunate proportions for the content involved!

(Spelling this one out is always insanely awkward, and is probably one of my largest criticisms with the series as a whole)
