I've been playing Etrian Odyssey 2 again. I finally beat the cocksucker of a first stratum boss. I don't remember the first game being this hard. Then again, EO1 had a level 70 cap, not a 99 one, so there's more grinding to be done. And then again, you can't abuse the hell out of Immunize and Defender because they aren't here this time around. And then again, my current party set-up is a little hard to work with because most of the characters are better suited for the back-row. It'd be nice if I could have one dude in the front and everyone else in the back. (My party is a Ronin, Troubadour, Gunner, Survivalist, and a Medic.) Any recommendations for what I should swap out will be appreciated. ('A` )

But it's a good thing they changed a lot of things, or else it would be like playing the same game all over again. But hey, this second stratum is looking pretty cool.
