History Headscratchers / EtrianOdyssey

* It's probably too late at this point for Atlus to remake it on the 3DS when the 3DS is going out of style.

* So...is ''Cross'' the GrandFinale of the series? A major component of the series is mapmaking with the stylus, and the [=3DS=] may well be Nintendo's final resistive-touchscreen system. I can't see ''Etrian Odyssey'' cartography working on the Switch's capacitive touchscreen which requires fingers or a specific type of stylus, the former being relatively imprecise and the latter not being a particularly popular purchase amongst smart-device or Switch owners. Not to mention, even if such a feature was implemented, it would effectively make the game handheld-only, something that I'm sure many Switch owners would be displeased about.

* How do skyships work in ''Legends of the Titan''? More specifically, how do they get to where you are when you jump from town to caves, or vice versa, or when you use warp items (especially Threads)? Is there some sort of autopilot feature that conveniently bypasses all those nasty [=FOEs=] and dragons on the map, or is there some sort of unexplained teleportation technology onboard the ship? At least jumping to poles can be explained by [[MagicAIsMagicA overworld poles working the same way as their dungeon equivalents but for larger volumes]].

* In ''Heroes of Lagaard'', whenever you send off one of your guild members to do something for the duchy, they automatically make your team wait at the bar until they finish. But there's an in-game clock, and ''it never advances when they're working''. Even if the dialogue implies they've been gone for hours... If they leave at, say, 6PM on Emperor 7, they come back at 6PM on Emperor 7. Why didn't they just have that member 'leave' for a set amount of in-game time? You could still go off and do other things with the rest of your team, and there wouldn't be this sense that time stands still whenever one of your members goes off to work solo.

** This gets explained in the sixth strata. They are [[spoiler: the third of three races created by the Yggdrasil survivors to help reestablish society. The Hollows, having only one communal mind were the only of the three races who remembered their origins, hence why they attempted to bring the Medium back to Yggdrasil.]]
* There's something in the story mode in Untold: [[spoiler: How did Visil NOT know about Gladsheim and everything there, and why was the formula not in MIKE's database? The project was a worldwide one, so there has to have been communication between the facilities. Not to mention if Visil was the head of the project, he must have known about the stuff going on in Gladsheim, as he probably had to greenlit the cryosleep and the missile.]]

* The location of everything. Etria's on an Yggdrasil above [[spoiler: Japan]], Lagaard's probably on [[spoiler: coastal northern China]], because there's an extremely cold place to its north, and Armaroad, which, according to its ports is on [[spoiler: the South China Sea]], to its south. So, uh, where's Tharsis?

** Perhaps those memories were lost in TheFogOfAges, or were covered up when [spoiler]The Yggdrasil core began brainwashing beings connected to Yggdrasil to protect it.[/spoiler]

** Actually, the twist is that the pre-apocalypse world was ''our''' world.
