Had lots of time to kill while waiting on people at work to write their end of a publication. So I started Etrian Odyssey III last night. Two TPK's off the bat. I guess it's been a while since I've played a game that straight up required a level grind. Level 2 of the dungeon with party members at level 4 and mediocre equipment represents an amazingly efficient mode of removing your ass and handing it back to you.
