Etrian Odyssey Untold 2: Diary 3

Finally prepared to go into the 4th Stratos boss, so the article on the 3rd Stratosphere.
From Fall to Winter...

Game Sales of the Week (12/24/14)

I am/was visiting New York and tired and all of that, so not much to say about this week.

Nintendo's Store

Thankfully(?), not really an eventful week anyways.

PS: As far as New York goes, not really used to the atmosphere there. McDonalds had a guard that stopped people who didn't have a receipt from getting a seat or go to the bathroom, too much people, too costly, all of that good stuff. Well, it doesn't hurt to visit once in a lifetime, I guess?

Uhyo~! MH4G's Zero Suits equipment is so awesome (to look at). The male characters got the Barrier Suit, it seems. Well, not like we want to see guys wearing that suit... right?

Etrian Odyssey Untold 2: Diary 2

I'll probably save all of Ginnungagap for one post. BTW, this is probably the 2nd time I've seen Ginnungagap be used in video games. The first was Tales of Symphonia 2.

Anyways, the red Autumn 2nd Stratus, quite FOE-based stratus:

Smash Bros for WiiU (Japan) came out this week! (Yes, later than America)

For overall opinions...
Putting aside the similar parts, the Grimoire system is better in this game. Each Grimoire can only hold ONE skill now, but characters can attach more than one Grimoire. You can also trade and recycle Grimoires. By recycling Grimoires, you can slowly build up to a Level Star (10) Grimoire, and then by using that, can trade for any other Level Star Grimoire.
The Force skills have all been fixed and downgraded from the original 2. Each character has 2 Force skills, one which lasts 3 turns giving various effects and then 1 powerful one that, when used, "breaks" the Force gauge, preventing you from storing Force until you return to town. However, when you return to town, your Force gauge automatically fills up to Max.

So anyways, 1st Stratum:
