- Set sail! It's time for our deep dive, exploring the underwater caverns of Etrian Odyssey 3 in the third entry of this series review. Of the three Etrian Odyssey games on the Nintendo DS, this definitely is one of them. Some might even say it's the best of the bunch. So depart on our voyage and explore the great big sea out there.
Big thanks to the people who sent in voicework for the Oceanic Quest section of the video. Please look them up:

Few extra notes: If you ever want to replay Etrian Odyssey 3 with some changes, there's two major fanpatches that rework some of the finer details of the game. The Balance Patch, and EO3R. For a first time playthrough, I'd still suggest you play the original first so you get a better feeling for how the changes were handled though.
Balance Patch: old.reddit.com/r/EtrianOdyssey/comments/6h2ouu/etrian_odyssey_iii_balance_patch_beta_testers/
EO3R: old.reddit.com/r/EtrianOdyssey/comments/9qwhqz/eo3r_etrian_odyssey_iii_mod/
Also massive thanks to Tehsnakerer, Mandaloregaming, and Spicy Chicken God for lending their voices to the Oceanic Quest sequence.

And thank *you* for watching.
Thanks for the video. How are you playing the patched games? Emulator? I heard they are not possible on a DS unless a flash cart is included.
Yeah, a flash cart basically lets you play ROMs the same way you would on an emulator. I used to play a lot of EO using them over the course of years due to lack of availability. Never had any issue running the series across multiple types of carts, firmwares, and DS models. So things like fantranslations, ROM hacks, and balance patches work well on them.
For emulation, I'd recommend MelonDS, it's a very solid emulator that requires very little fiddling to work well. DeSMuME kinda works too, but it has some pretty horrific input delay that becomes more noticeable with action games. I'm not too familiar with the state of DS emulation on mobile phones or tablets, but I'm sure that's doable too since a friend recently replayed EO3 during a camping trip using a tablet.
@@Aboveup Thanks for the reply. I want to play with twilight++ on the dsi, but that does not seem possible.
Ah boi fanpatches sound like a fantastic way to fix issues oof
How does one install them?
I'm a dum dum so--
Been getting back into the series since a year ago with 2U, now back to my first etrian odyssey game III all those years back haha, I stopped before because of narmer but now i've beaten it! (today in fact XD), banzai monk
This was my first Etrian Odyssey game. In high-school I saw it in a gameinformer magazine and walked over to the gamestop nearby and pre-ordered it.
Kinda sad I had to sell it and some other gamesb during quarantine to make some income.
I'm really enjoying your Etrian Odyssey series. 3 is definitely my favourite of the series. I can't wait until you get further along in this series. They also knew the Sea Quest theme The End of Raging Waves was amazing, it has been a main stay theme in all future games.
EO3 is, to me, the pinnacle of what Etrian Odyssey should be. It's difficult, but fair, with great classes and fun bosses/dungeons.
As well as the best side mission in the series.
I couldn't describe it better, both in gameplay and art EO3 was a peak in the series.
They need to port all these to the Switch 😊
Congrats your wish has been granted! On June 1 they will release the Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection you can get all three together or separately. It’s digital only hopefully we will get a physical version.
Edit: It will also be on PC as well
You wouldn’t believe what just happened…
They are now
DUDE, ARE YOU PSYCHIC?!
$80 😭
YESSS LET'S GOOO! Been waiting so long for this one after I finished this game. Favorite EO game, so much nostalgia for it.
I'm so hyped for this! I've really been enjoying your Etrian Odyssey reviews! They're really informative and fun to look back upon. I started with 5 and went back quite a bit but I'm happy I got the chance to play the series now to begin with!
Great work!
I NEED another entry in this series. Etrian Odyssey Nexus is probably one of the best dungeon crawlers i've ever played played. EO3 is an extremely close second.
I'm so glad I never sold my copy of EO3. I happened to look at what the game's going for these days and ... yikes!
ty for etrian odessey 1 review
i would never have known about the FOE meme
I really liked the Farmer/Buc
4 is my all time favorite. I've never had the chance to play 3 but it seems really interesting.
A great review! Thank you!
Looking for reviews of Nexus and V.
rewatching this series now that the big announcement happened. love the series and i'm so excited to properly replay eo3 on switch after stupidly selling my copy years ago!
6 days ago!? I thought this game was long forgotten about by now. I was just playing with the ROM hack.
27:27 Those erratic FOE patterns are in Strat 5 and post-game Strat 6 definitely.
This is def a favorite of the series. I had a weird team mainly having a backline ninja for stealth strike and building zodiac to only use ST spells and enhanced damage on weakness to the point where they were hitting for over 1500 dmg and easily one shotting FOEs. The prince/princess class was easily my favorite though, to the point where i did not make a healing class at all and they were able to keep my team completely healthy throughout the entire game.
Highly anticipated video 💪
I never really was a fan of EO3 and 4 but they did some cool things for the series. I think Untold onward the series really hit its stride in perfecting its gameplay loop but I appreciate just how ambitious 3 was compared to 2
Etrian Odyssey is a series which I've never played, but always had a passing interest in, it's paradigm of exploration and mapping appeals to me more and more as I've matured. I want to say I had a demo for the 4th game early in the 3DS's lifecycle when I was younger, but never really got into it due to not appreciating the mapping feature at the time. Problem is, whenever I look up images or playthroughs of the game it never seems to fit with my memory of it, to the point where I have to doubt whether it was actually Etrian Odyssey or whether I've just Mandela effected myself into thinking it was. I suppose my point is that I should get around to playing them myself, and I'm hoping you cover 4 to see if it can help finally bury this phantom game.
I decided to give it a try and boot it up, and I can say that it was Etrian Odyssey 4. The timeline fits, and having decided to give the game a try, it probably is. It looks nothing like I remember, but my memory is almost certainly wrong here, but the core thrust of exploring Yggdrasil with an airship is the same.
Maybe you played Etrian Odyssey Mystery Dungeon, check it out
Hearing such a serious tone while discussing freakin hololive is surreal.
Nice review!
Wow this game looks awesome, surely this game doesn't cost an arm and a leg to have a physical copy.
Can somebody tell me why getting poison in these game are like getting inflicted with instant death? Poison take out like 75% of hp.
EO3 is a game I wished I could love for it's style, class concepts, and pretty much everything about it, but I couldn't handle the gameplay. It somehow makes you feel underpowered when it came to character progression (ii part to me going blind and making "bad" decisions. Of course Arbalist is best as front row attacker! Of course Monk fist skills suck! My Zodiac was spamming the free TP skill for half the game with the occasional Charged Limit because frankly, unless you know some specific builds that work, it's the most reliable strategy you don't need to sink SP on like multi elements), while at the same time usually not being challenging anyways.
This was me coming from EO4, which unlocked new stuff faster, gave you all sorts of fun toys to work with each other, did a great job at welcoming me as a new player without outside guides while still being challenging enough, and was the first JRPG in a long while I just had **fun** playing.
Hell, in combat and customization, I had more fun playing the ORIGINAL EO1 a year later. I do plan to try EO3R, so maybe I will get to fully enjoy the game then, but from what I've read I'm not the only one thinking this game is incredibly hit-or-miss.
Wow i never had that progresión problems because sea quest let you lv up super fast.
But yea some class are super slow to be useful, maybe you did a team whit 5 of those.
Theres alway classes that are strong from the beginning to.
Well the game does not explain a loot of extra mechanics until etrian 4.
Like bind legs cause you not miss even being blind or using a low accuracy skills.
Bind head make you receive and do more damage.
Hands reduce your damage output.
Fear makes you do and receive 60% more damage.
Stun makes you do and take 50% more damage.
Parálisis make you vulnerable to binds.
Maybe that helps if you convine the hints the video gives like charge.
Oh and make a team of farmers that avoid fights and escapes that makes you progres faster and get overpowered.
Good luck.
@@ricardohernandezr5765 Well first of all, I've played literally every single game in the series by now expect the Japanese exclusive EMD2 (and EO Mobile lol), on Expert (barring some postgame superbosses, and not touching the DS postgames so far).
I know how ailments work. (though the descriptions you list don't seem to line up, and I don't think EO3R makes such drastic changes? I heard only Curse affects infliction chances there, not Paralysis. And only sleep and head/arm binds affect damage in most games)
Secondly, the game wasn't hard. There were some pretty difficult side sea bosses (which I probably did too early judging by how late the ship upgrades came), an enemy in S5 that would barely/almost 1HKO me (which I imagine you are supposed to avoid by exploring at night/day, and fighting it was just a matter of "can I take a hit with DEF buff") and the final boss (who I just didn't know hated my Princess' buffs, and folded in a few turns after unnecessary grinding)
The problem wasn't difficulty. The problem was that the game was fucking boring in comparison to EO4, all the 3DS games I played afterwards (EDIT: Besides like EMD or PQ1 and maybe 2, but who even cares?), and hell, even EO1 (which had more simple gameplay, but also tighter balance with harder enemies/bosses, where my characters felt like they were actually progressing and contributing, with battles that would sometimes end at just barely enough HP/TP)
Since you brought up ailments, my team only had Gladiator, Monk and Arbalist with skills to provide them. The first two had better shit to do, and when I gave the blind skill a try on Arbalist (because again, I figured it could work as a backline support class) it was shit. I imagine grinding for being overpowered or using Charge would make the game even worse.
I didn't think about making a farmer team either, and it's not like I needed it.
@@dutczar5436 mm by what's You mention maybe your team has a Bad sinergy.
I remember My harbalest/ Gladiator destroyed post Game bosses súper fast.
Maybe Bad sub class alineation i mean theres videos of people beating last post Game boss alone,or using 2 characters, thats why i feel more Freedom in that Game.
@@ricardohernandezr5765 Ironic you mention the superboss being beatable with one or two characters as an example of freedom, when from what I've heard it's generally considered to be one of the worse superbosses in the series with limited options for casual players. And from what I've played, only EO4 and 5 had reasonable superbosses, so that's saying something.
The game does have more *options* than EO1 or EO2 on the sheer fact that the skills are more varied and with many more gimmicks. The problem is, for every good skill/tactic/synergy this game has, it feels like there is another one that is underwhelming, despite *seemingly* being a reasonable idea.
You could also just not have options synergies between classes. My Gladiator/Monk/Princess/Zodiac/Arbalist team didn't seem to have them, besides maybe some healing shenanigans. And looking up some skills and guides later on, I fail to see any. Sure, maybe I got unlucky here, and got lucky with my EO1 party comp, but I didn't have this occur in any later game, so clearly EO3 still had a *lot* of things to improve on.
If you mean main class/subclass synergies, I imagine there is a LOT of options I had I didn't use, but with the 5 level rest option the game isn't exactly welcoming to experimentation. I remember doing Princess/Wildiling because I figured I could fill up that empty 6th slot and use some extra ailments, and ended up being both disappointed by how ineffective it was, yet also not punished at all because my Princess was fine spamming buffs for the rest of the main game anyway. Which is another thing, the game just doesn't give you enough SP to experiment for my taste - EO1 didn't have much either, but it also didn't have 2 classes worth of skills available to everyone.
Slapping Gladiator on Arbalist and spamming Charge to kill everything doesn't really translate to "fun" for me. In fact, recommending "meta" builds for someone in general is a pretty shitty way to advertise the game's freedom. "Oh look you can beat the superboss with a single character, just use these specific strats no player would reasonably come up with on a blind run!"
@@dutczar5436 im almost finishing My homework so last reply for me.
I dint stick Gladiator because of charge it was because of the multy hit.
Anyway i dint use any guide, My team was purely combined by reading the skills.
Like monk has fire fist, so it combo using a Zodiac elemental.
Ninja by example needs 2 slots to work properly cause if not his primary skill doesnt work.
Or My monotype run that i tend to do on all etrian Odyssey games.
I mean once i got to deep city i feel i could do a lot of combos.
Un comparation to etrian Nexus were You unlock sub class at 9 story maze.
Or Eo5 were imperial can one shoot by exception 2 bosses.
But then again You can do a run of one characters almost in all etrian by exception of súper BOSS.
Only Nexus,3 and original 2 are posible at least to me.
By the way amrita 3 farmers...
Well see You around , have a good night? Or day?
I'm going to finish My homework and rest. Thanks for the distraction helps to rest the mind.
Etrian Oddesy untold 3: The alien Buccaneer.
Coming to the nintendo switch early 2023.
Do you have any plans on doing a review for Ys 9 btw?
The game you (and I) have to pay 250 bux for. And I did. Cuz I couldn't miss out ony my favorite EO's game cartridge. So much better than the first two installments imo :3
Mmm i almos played all the Eo to 100% except for Eo5 cause broken 3ds.
But i can say my favorite is Eo3.
I have 3 reasons.
One: you can for first and only time play along whit a friend, do all the sea quest together.
Second:the white forest , the bes stratum along whit the song of post game.
3•sub class let you buff any character to be the best character cause you can grind stats its infinite and easy using hammer or special drop condition.
Great vid and Edition.
That joke…haha.
"Rushia"
im sad now.
I'd already finished my first playthrough, and a large part of the first draft before that happened. Returning to the project was a big "Oh... Yeah.... That's messed up." moment. Used to have that a few times when I named parties after online friends, then returning after a break and seeing a name of someone who'd slipped away a few times. Didn't think it'd ever happen while working on one of these videos. Third gen of Hololive seemed especially stable too.
Rushia PepeHands
Roughly 4 and a half minutes in the video, So basically the Sovereign is this game's version of the Red Mage in Final Fantasy games?
Apologies if this seems obvious, I'm a new player starting with EO3 HD as my first Etrian Odyssey game.
Me skipping the spoilers knowing perfectly well that I'll never get to play the game cuz we european plebeians never got a release for EO2 and EO3: 🤡
original DS games aren't region locked :)
Yeah, a local gameshop here used to carry a ton of US releases of games so they'd often have major games about half a year or so in advance. Most of the old Nintendo handhelds has no region locking and it was great. They didn't start locking handhelds until 3DS.
I really didn't know that. Good to know :) I don't think there's any shop around my parts that deals with imported games, but if I ever find somebody that put it on ebay for less than 160-260 € I'll make sure to get it.
@@popoya2297 Yeah, I feel that. I'm American, but I literally went to eBay right after watching this review and this game is so fucking rare it only goes for anywhere from well over 100 to almost 400 US dollars. Oh well. I'l def pick it up if I ever find it at a second hand shop or something.
I feel you, I only got into the series at 4 because they didn't do 2/3 here so I missed the series completely until the 3DS. I'm glad I got in when I did because DS games were still being printed and I got a copy of EO3. It's wild the game is now $200+.
Games are meant to be played, not collected. So I'm sure you'll find a way some day !Ahoy!
Was looking for a review on the game, all this hololive stuff is super confusing
I respect this review even if I don't care for this game. The exploration is pretty boring, I don't think a majority of the classes are executed that well, and the difficulty is too low. I like the idea of the game more than I actually like the game.
the 🅱️alls 🅱️eep city
After doing Let's Plays for EO1 through EO5 while slowly working through Nexus I can say that EO3 still remains to be my favorite overall.
Ah Etrian Odyssey 3; the first game in the series I played and my personal favorite.
I appreciate that you are one of the few TH-camrs making Etrian Odyssey content. Can't wait for you to reach the 3DS games. *Also, The End of Raging Waves is a great battle theme and I've yet to hear a better theme in the series.*
My Japanese copy is coming today, so this vid is getting me even more excited. :)
EO 3 has one of my favorite memory's when I got lost for 3 days all because I was dumb and put a wall on my only path forward. I always get a laugh when I think about that.
i remenber long ago that i heard about the superboss of EO3
and now thanks to your videos really get me pick me up EO since last year
now that i finish 1-2 100% i am doing EO3 100% and really enjoy so far ( 4 stratum rn ) and i think EO3 really is like the natural evolution for be the 3er game
or maybe is that my feeling bc the subclasses really adds in your choices of what you want for that class and i was like 10 mins trying to think what sub i want for my characters
anyway thank you for your reviews and i hope i can see your opinion of EOIV in the future
The Abyssal God? Oh boy, where do I start?
• Designed to be fought at Lv. *80,* but so badly designed that recommended level is 99.
• The first phase is easy to read, but the second one had to be datamined before we could figure out what was going on-almost 7 years after the game came out.
• There are two forms-a defensive form with counter skills and a healing skill (which we’ll get too) alongside Sky high defense and an offensive form with attacks with different elements.
• All its skills read player input, *which isn’t communicated to the player at all* so unless you know what you’re doing, you’re FAQed.
• If you don’t attack it, it has a chance of using a healing skill that heals for 1/5th of its HP…in its defensive form. Again, *this isn’t communicated to the player.*
• The second phase has a soft time limit of 40 turns, at which point, it stops following a pattern and just goes apeshit. Also, *all* attacks are powered up. And yeah, *the player has no communication about the power increase.*
It says volumes that the general advice is to use a cheese party rather than fight fair.
I really enjoyed this review! As a lifelong fan of JRPGs as a genre, EO3 is my favorite game of all time full-stop, it makes me really happy to still see it be talked about. Certainly not a flawless game in terms of mechanics, but the amount of creativity present throughout the whole of its design is something that I find hugely inspiring; there’s not a single part of this game that feels tired or phoned-in to me, even after the obscene amount of times I’ve played through it. It’s a shame that its public reception seems so mixed, I’d personally heartily recommend it to any fan of the 3DS side of the series - though I’d advise that they expect to be relatively experimental with their party composition.
I’m very interested to hear your thoughts on EO4 once you get to it! It cleans up a lot of the more clunky parts of EO3, making it a lot more accessible for those with a lower jank-tolerance while also taking said features in interesting new directions. Thank you again for reviewing this game, it’s silly to say but it really made my day! :-)
Ah yes, my fav DS game. The cheapest copy I could buy was a sealed one for 100 euros back then.
Shame they never made EO3U.
Anyway, Nexus lets you answer "Princess or Gunner" with "both!", which is my preferred answer.
I decided to start playing Etrian Odyssey after one of your videos, I plan to finish them all (including the mystery dungeon)
Holy medaroli! someone remembers EO in 2022! These games are just so good and its so nice to see someone playing these games and enjoying them, and the mapping and their bangin OSTs!
So nice to see some love to this series in 2022. To me Etrian is my favorite jrpg by far, and it saddens me that probably we will never see Etrian 6 ever...
So nexus is not canon for everyone?
@@ricardohernandezr5765 Think to the majority of the community yes, not canon.
Its really sad. after rune factory release the new game, i hope there is a chance to get new title of etrian odyssey
This is my favorite game on the DS and one of my favorite in the series .
Also I would've picked the Gunner
I really love your reviews, you really do things with passion, and that's admirable. Keep up the good work!
Marine being a cute but useless mascot is on brand tho.
Heck yea!!! A classic. Love this game and series.
based
I don’t know why but the part 15:32 reminded me of this old story trailer for Etrian Odyssey 3: th-cam.com/video/gu1KGdig40I/w-d-xo.html
I loved when Atlus did weird marketing like this these days they are more predictable. This is my favorite Etrian Odyssey title and I am so glad it’s get such an amazing video I’ll be looking forward to when you tackle the series next.
Oh man I love this Janky, beautiful game.
"Basically, you don't want everyone to be an all encompassing power house"
Abyssal God: "I see there's another fool to writhe that doesn't understand my Cthulhu Casino, who doesn't believe in Cheese"
Also while i agree a New Game+ probably is smart before the nightmarish Post Game Dungeon, as i have my usual masochist needs i just finished 99% of all content in the game in the first playthrough :O
But yes i sure got the challenge i thirsted for in that hellhole...
I absolutely love your EO reviews!
Waiting for EOU 1 & 2, EO V and EO Nexus review!
God the Porcelain Forest track just RESONATES within me
You got Tehsnakerer to voice in your video? That's really neat
Imo i feel like it's kind of a shame that you don't talk about the other class even briefly something that happened too in your review of EO 1 and 2
You need to give a shot to EOV (definitly the best one). Great review tho
My one complaint about this game is that it doesn’t exactly deserve its E10+ rating.
I love Etrian Odyssey, and I love Mandalore Gaming.
Subscribed.
Ive never hears of or played this series but I'm interested and wanna play it now
Kino
Hot damn, looking forward to the EO4 video. It's definitely my favorite in the series.
This came at the perfect time haha I just started it a week ago. Pretty good so far but I am missing some of the changes of the later entries. Great vid!
Nice! I’ve been playing III slowly. I got hooked on the first game, but V is my favorite so far.
This game is so good, well.. except the deep ones, those guys felt like reprinted forest folk, but at least we can fight their leader this time around and that reedems them.
In an EOT mood rn, and I’ve just been rewatching your reviews because they are some of the only in-depth content on the series I can find on YT. The quality is also amazing
This was a great review man, keep up the good work.
somehow the perfect place for Mandalore to randomly show up
all of these games's settings give big Made in Abyss vibes
Bro what is Mandalore doing here ?????!!!
2:00 dude... I'm playing my first Etrian Odyssey (4) and I named them after Hololive 4th gen. And Subaru for my ShubaLuna duo.
I like you
I'd say 5 is my favorite in the series
Nexus DRAGS too long but I did play on heroic so....
Is Nexus too fat compare to the other?
@@soratheorangejuicemascot5809
13 or 14 labyrinths
6 of which are the same type of dungeon mechanic
initial level cap is 99
it's good but man it drags
YES. YESSSSSSSSSS
YESSSSSSSSSS EO3
Let's gooo
Love the DS trilogy to death. The general jank actually makes them better than the successive titles in my mind, they're fun to experiment around with - Caduceus in EO1 for example. That said, EO3 is probably the most polished of the three and also the most approachable. I'll personally always hold EO2 as the pinnacle, but damn if this game isn't amazingly fun.
Newcomer here. I've never played this genre even if I'm already 37. First party of 5 i tried had a hard time on the third floor.
Content to give you a heads up to get on tracks are not many on TH-cam.
I decided to make a new game with a more standard composition (tank, warrior, archer, caster, healer) and what eased considerably the beginning of my playthrough was clearing the first 3 missions on ship. Got me extra cash and rewards which missed me when I began the first time.
Are there mandatory advices like always have the item to tp back in town ?
AHOY
Love the series, though, the only one i have finished, Is the IV AND i fucking loved that game story, still currently playing the first remake, fatal error to change clases.
Etrian Odyssey 3 is where I think the series "starts", and it's the only of the DS trilogy I can still stomach playing.
thanks for the vid, you've pushed me to try ds emulation, really looking forward to playing EO2&3
My first game in the “E.O.” series and still my favorite! (Although all of them are pretty good!)
Any person that plays etrian is a good person in My book, You got yourself a new suscriber
Some of the best EO content I've ever seen tee bee aych
I made it to the Deep City solely by the strength of my Princess' passive healing.
Just binge watched all three of your etrian videos. You are fun to watch and I can't wait until the next one. Thank you for the videos
Probably the best soundtrack of the series besides 5. Yuzo put a ton of work into this one.
This is the first video I came back to after the announcement of the HD remaster.
Loving the game, although it is kicking my ass. Worth the amount to get a physical copy
Arbalist seriously broken you can max attack stats before max level lol
i have two mages one monk fist healer and one archer my cloudia barbarian
is that Fred Savage at 5:44? i feel like i'm missing some context
Look at the enemy name at the top when Fred Savage shows up.
@@Aboveup that's crazy. i was too confused to notice the name when it flashed by😂
@@immanisaur It was on my mind every time I fought that enemy, so I just threw that in there as a joke in the video. No worries.
I know most people prefer to choose shogun than yggdroid. But i really love yggdroid, and the only class that cant be subclass from another classes
Well as much as I love my robots there's no denying that Shogun works better as a class in a team oriented game. Yggdroids are too gimmicky with not great stat spread, bad equipment options, static TP and half of their tree demanding free slots in a party. They are powerhouses solo though. Been able to solo the main game pretty easily with one. Admittedly I was abusing every avenue I could (there isa reason why in latter games you can only equip one acessory) but still it wasn't exactly hard.
This honestly has the best soundtrack of all.
I still remember watching trailers of EO IV to help me decide whether I should buy the game (I'm a huge JRPG fan) and thinking something along the lines of "meh, this map drawing looks kind of tedious and there's barely any story in the game. I'm really not sure if it'll be my cup of tea.
It's one of my favourite games ever now! :D I played EO I, II and III later. Many people said EO III is the best in the series, so I had a lot of expectations. After having played it...Not really, EO IV is much better, imo, but EO III is still an amazing game. Just wish the post game boss wasn't so BS. I couldn't beat it, that left a bad taste in my mouth.
Still waiting for Atlus to continue the series. Sigh...
Hope to see you cover EO IV some time soon! :)
I prefer Napier's sister.....
