Īfter the "Great Disaster", a labyrinth appeared in the hole of the city created by the earthquake. However, because of the great earthquake that happened a hundred years ago, the central part of the city sank down into the bottom of the sea, along with its superior technology. Armoroad prospered in the ancient time with high-level civilization. The game is set in a sea city known as Armoroad, which is surrounded by the beautiful ocean. In order for this to be available, different "hammers" with the desired effects need to be found either through quest or in chest located all over the labyrinth. Forging is the act of including an effect in the weapon of player's choice as long as the needed materials have been provided beforehand and the weapon has enough "sockets" or blank spaces to place the corresponding forge, along with the required money to pay for it.
The sea quest option will be to get rid of certain unique monsters that can only be found in that specific area, meaning that in order to complete the monster discovery book, the sea quest is mandatory.Īnother addition not seen in the first two games is customizing weapons through forging. Once a foreign port has been reached, a sea quest option will be available. Mission assignments for the player while on the sea will be to locate and reach foreign ports in order to restore Armoroad's trading roads. However, while sailing, there are no random encounters and no monsters except for pirate ships roaming the same ways as F.O.E.s on the labyrinth which, on contact, will sink the player's ship. While at sea, the mapping system is the same as on the labyrinth, only with the addition of new navigation icons exclusive for sea mapping (e.g. The voyages depend on the amount of provisions that the player has at the moment, restricting the movement only for the amount of spaces that the provisions allow them to advance.

This third game in the series provides 12 all-new classes, as well as the ability to subclass (gaining most of the second class' skill set) with the exception of an unlockable class, the Yggdroid, which cannot be subclassed but can learn sub classes.Īnother addition was the option to "set sail" on a ship that the players are able to get after the first mission is completed. Although no more than five characters can be in the player's active party at the same time, up to 30 characters can be added to a guild, and players can switch out characters in town. Each class has its own skills and statistics, as well as limits on what equipment the character can wear. Players have to build their own guild by creating characters from a number of different character types (classes). In Etrian Odyssey III, there are no pre-made playable characters. These navigation icons can represent sea currents, landmarks, and footnotes of the terrain that players encountered. Players make use of a mapping system which lets them freely place icons on a gridded map.
Like its predecessors, the game only partially maps the terrain. This game follows in the footsteps of its predecessors with one screen showing a 3D view of the Wizardry-style dungeon, while the other one shows an overhead display of the map that players must maintain.
