I didn't make or translate this. Just uploading it because the subtitles are a little bit better than what I've seen on TH-cam. The game this is based on is called Etrian Odyssey.
What's sad is that i know exactly what you're talking about a just a week ago i didn't even know what mother was nor much about Touhou. a youtuber named NakaTeleeli did a playthrough of touhou mother.
i have come to the hd versions from labyritnh of refrain, where all enemy encounters are done like FOE, so I have a need to fight them when i see them. this is gonna go bad for me isnt it?
Even on the Switch eShop, F. O. E. GabeN's shop isn't safe either, F. O. E. I cannot wait for a new generation to live in terror of a little orange ball on the map.
Have you ever felt the desperation of trying to quickly kill a certain FOE while different, more aggressive one is approaching the fight from a distance? You can see it slowly inching across the map as you frantically try to clear out the current FOE...
Actually, it's "Field-on enemy" in the japanese version. In the western version it's called: "Foedus obrepit errabundus" (which is latin for "the vile, wandering one sneaks up."). The game even says so when you first met one.
Really late comment on this! I think that's for the EU version of the game. In the US version, it's something along the lines of "Formido Oppugnatura Exsequens" or something like that.
@@ketto3268 actually the eu games uses both, it depends on which game, some of them uses Foedus obrepit errabundus and others uses Formido Oppugnatura Exsequens
My favourite thing about FOEs is that in the Japanese versions of the games, FOE stands for "Field-On Enemy" In English? It's something overly extravagant. It's pretty great, actually.
Armalizilto Haha, yeah, I know. I mean, I can't be bothered to memorize that, but yeah. I'll admit that Formido Oppugnatura Exsequens sounds a heck of a lot cooler, but Field-On Enemy is so simple. I just find it funny that it was changed to something so extravagant! XD
It pleases me to see so many folks come back to this classic with the remaster coming. And this gives me hope for future Etrians not locked away in the 3DS. All together now, folks. EVEN IN 2023, FOE!
I watched this when it first came out, I'm like...what is this. After playing this game after all these years, I'm laughing my ass off at how true this entire video is XD
@@Aevum13th @Connor Smith I would recommend looking up a TH-camr named Etanks (profile picture is a black E in a blue square) who is running his own Etrian D&D campaign. I think he executes it very well. Because it's difficult to constantly track FOEs, it's easier to do it by having them respond to certain triggers rather than be constantly active. I personally do mapping by mapping the walls and floors myself, and leaving my players to note down the icons (which I recreated on Roll20 and set them as tokens)
Actually my best friend is currently streaming EO1 for a group of friends where everyone of them takes controll over 1 Party Member. They kinda play it like a DnD were every action is decided by their respectiv player. If u pissed of the Healer ofr example he might just not heal u. Its pretty cool. Specially because its their first contact with EO and they have no idea what they are getting into, specially in the later stratums. Fucking Sandstreams!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You neglect when the samurai of FF6 TPW'd thanks to a common enemy in Dragon's Den casting Confuse. And if you die, the other two parties die. GGNORE WP
Having recently finished the Vanilla EO2 to compare it to the remake. In hindsight this video is fucking genius. Especially the corner one, There are so many times I got ambushed by an FOE because you don't have many of the luxuries in the newer games like moving the camera around to better see the corner. Limited rendering and how some FOEs take some time for their orange ball to appear, means you can step right ahead into one or close to it. No idea how worse they are in the first EO1, though.
@@nykita427 You're not going to fight the Mantids the first time you see them, but they should be killable by the time you get to the end of the floor, heck you might be able to take on multiple at once if you are lucky
Well i cant compare them to EO2 but in EO1 there were most of the Time Jumpscares u could avoid if u payed attention to ur surrounding. But there were a few really evil ambush spawns that appeared behind u asking u if u got a Warp Wire - because if not there was literally no way to survive that shit. U could normally take them on a while after u met them for the first time. In the second Stratum u could actually take on all FOEs immediatly if u built ur Party smart even though after every fight u probably had to go back immediatly to rest. Except the Moas - those take a while normaly until u can best them.
@@dutczar5436 Oh snap are the later ones that much less grindy. I finished EO1 finally and was just thinking of going through it chronologically but needed a break after that one lol
When I first ran into an F.O.E. in Persona Q for the first time I swear to you I started singing this song in my head! XD No seriously never have I related to this song as much as I do now. Oh and at 0:28 is literally my reaction when Minato died when I couldn't escape a battle with one. o_e "Vice Leader is dead, F.O.E.!"
When you overlevel yourself out of habit and are able to go toe to toe with the FOEs... But then the red ones pop up and ruin your day. *Screw you Stalkers!*
I had a terrible thought about this at some point. What if all of the final bosses of the main series Persona games showed up as F.O.E.s. Which would include Adolf Hitler. Hitler as a Field On Enemy. God help us all.
when this 1st came out i laughed not knowing what this game was , now that i have played to game i come here again to rewatch. why is this game such a nightmare?
Welcome to the salty spitoon, how though are ya? How though am I? HOW THOUGH AM I? I beat an F.O.E. this morning! Yeah... So? Without any items! Right this way, sorry to keep you waiting.
Just so everyone knows, this video is on Etrian Odyssey, mostly about one of the most well known parts of the series, FOEs, which are annoying motherfuckers who run around the map and attack you during battles (including boss fights and other FOEs). Also they can easily wipe your entire party single-handily if you're not prepared.
It's an item. "Warp Wire" aka "Ariadne Thread" It lets you escape the dungeon floor and warp back to town. It cannot be used during battle. So you can use it when you're in danger and the level exit is pretty far away. There are also times when you'll be completely trapped by FOE(s). So using the wires (or possibly another item) can help you to avoid being forced into FOE battles like that. Unfortunately for these adventurers, they forgot their warp wires!
EVEN IN 2023, FOE

If this song would've been remixed in 2014, it would've been an anti-Russian song.

It's an item. "Warp Wire" aka "Ariadne Thread"
It lets you escape the dungeon floor and warp back to town. It cannot be used during battle.
So you can use it when you're in danger and the level exit is pretty far away.
There are also times when you'll be completely trapped by FOE(s).
So using the wires (or possibly another item) can help you to avoid being forced into FOE battles like that.
Unfortunately for these adventurers, they forgot their warp wires!
This is terrifying...
