Welcome to the finale of the trilogy of the EOrigins Collections, EOIHD or also simply EOHD. This is the last game in the origins, which is the game that started it all. On journeying and rejourneying EO, this will be the only version of 1 I'll be tackling seriously, as for the remake/U...... it will be tackled after the megamixes of EO (EON/EOX and EMD) and it will be tackled in a different way and might be not serious, and more of casual for the various reasons. So far if you want my opinion of definitive version of playing 1, I think this is the definitive to play the game, for me imo. Also this will be only commentated only. Unfortunately looks like setting the audio of the game to min, made the game audio recorded very weak, so I'm sorry about that, next time, I'm making it back to the medium volume it has.

This part tackles B5F and B6F. B5F is a bit of kind of underwhelming floor with some few FOEs here and there, a bunch of branched hallways, but making up for the random encounter/FOE-lite version of Kuyutha, Warbull, which are pseudo lesser of it, but not really, kind of like the Fenders. They are still deadly, even if it only is a single target. And now we reach fenrir's room, and also for the actual last orange FOE, for now, which are the Skolls, and basically are upgraded version of Wolves, specifically designed for overwhelming you, as they join in the party, and can only be found in Fenrir's room... but since this is based on the DS version, there's one trick we can do to get a preemptive on them, and kill the other Skolls, which is shown in this playthrough. you actually need to kill the front skoll I think, then just lure Fenrir to the other side of the room, by letting them chase you, and go back out and in, and out again, then go right, then enter the room again, from there, you can get to 2nd stratum without harm. They (Ren & Tlatchga) even congratulated us, even tho we haven't beaten Fenrir. So after that exploit, well let's talk about the boss... which is absolutely not a wolf, and it's a Sabretooth Tiger (it was rectified on later games). It's.... a straightforward boss, but still nothing to scoff at. It normal attacks I think, Coldfang, which is just more stronger normal attack, and Roar, which is chance to inflict Fear to the party. And reminder the Skolls, which are just to overwhelm you with more offenses, rather than actual danger of supporting them. Still best to kill them fast. As for conditional, well there's no conditional drop on bosses, only rare as far as I remember, which makes it a pain. But no worries, picnic exists.

And now for the 2nd stratum, which is pretty cool for me, but also where the game difficulty spikes. Reminder the level difference? Yep, as in most of the difference of levels on these enemies are very big, on top of deadly ailments some can inflict. And then we have the Sloths, Spiders, and Venomgels, which their normal attack can kill a single member, if they targetted the same member. And of course, we game overed on those enemies, like two of those. It's best to avoid for most..... but we still have yet to encounter the worst of them all... the other meme of the series..... Well we will see it soon enough.

Lastly, I showcased some gathering on 2nd Stratum, which funnily B6F has all of it, which will save me a lot of time, and no need to show the rest of it. Unlike the later games in the series, where each is unique, here you can still get some of the previous stratum item/s from gathering. And the other lastly, will be the 1st stratum FOE I missed, plus a conditional I missed from Mandrakes. As for the last FOE in 1st stratum for now, which are the Stalkers, are also very kind of meme in the series, tho all they do here, is just hit Hard, they do have a conditional, which requires to be killed in first turn, which is annoying, but it's nothing for picnic mode tho.

Next time, I'll try to tackle B7F and B8F, plus probably a side/point-5 episode for the one quest I mentioned in this recording.
(Speaking of which, I almost forgot, I still need to timestamp the part 2 at least.)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
