History Trivia / EtrianOdyssey

* TheWikiRule: [[http://etrian.wikia.com/wiki/Etrian_Odyssey_Wiki Etrian Odyssey Wiki]] and [[https://etrianodysseywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page Etrian Odyssey Wiki]].

** The Frost King and Thunder Queen in ''The Fafnir Knight'' are scrapped Ginnungagap bosses -- they now appear as DLC bosses instead.

* CommonKnowledge: The music video by IOSYS was so influential that those who haven't played Etrian Odyssey automatically assume the orange spheres that represent F.O.E.s in the DS games have faces. They are conflated with the kedama from ''VideoGame/TouhouProject'' which are fuzzy orbs with the faces.

* NamesTheSame:
** The name of the Landsknecht's Volt-elemented Chaser skill brings to mind [[Series/KamenRider a certain organization with plans for world domination]].
** One of Gladsheim's bosses, Gimle, shares its name with the FinalBoss of VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening (though only in the Japanese version).
** One of the skills for Shield Bearers in ''Beyond the Myth'' is called [[Music/{{DragonForce}} Dragon Force]].

* NoDubForYou: ''Nexus'' was released overseas with the original Japanese language, breaking a trend as the two ''Untold'' games and ''V'' before it were dubbed.

* BeamMeUpScotty: A visual example. The music video by IOSYS was so influential that those who haven't played Etrian Odyssey yet automatically assume the orange spheres that represent F.O.E.s in the DS games have faces.

* FanNickname:
** F.O.E. stands for "Field-On Enemy" in the Japanese versions, and for whatever reason, [[GratuitousLatin Formido Oppugnatura Exsequens]] (which is Latin for "the pursuing dread that will attack") in America, and [[GratuitousLatin Foedus Obrepit Errabundus]] ("the vile, wandering one sneaks up") in Europe and the first game's BGM player. Given their ridiculous power, fans have come up with their own interpretations, including "Freakishly Overpowered Encounter" and "Ferocious Orange Enemy."
** Ragelopes, the very first F.O.E.s in ''Etrian Odyssey'' and [[WakeUpCallBoss players' introduction to the concept]], are better known as [[MemeticMolester Rapelopes]].
** Landsknechts tend to get the nickname of "Landshark" due to how hard it is to spell their name. This results in the secondary female Landsknecht of ''Legends of the Titan'' being called the Bandana-shark due to her headdress.
** The blonde female Protector also tends to be nicknamed 'Teacher' (ししょー or ''Shishou'') due to the Explorer's Log comic. [[spoiler: The nickname carries to one of the representatives of the last class in ''Legends of the Titan'' due to how similar they look like, some even joking that it's the same Protector in disguise.]]
** The female blonde Zodiac gets the nickname 'Fluffy Zodi' (ふわゾディ or ''Fuwazodi'').
** The female Medic with short brown hair is often called Medigirl or Mediko (which is the Japanese equivalent).
** The Mascot Fortress from ''Legend of the Titan'' is sometimes called "[[UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}} Flatress]]", usually in a complimentary way by people who love their girls petite (and because, hey, her build actually makes sense for an armored tank). The Japanese fandom calls her "For-chan" instead.
** The smaller, blonde female War Magus in ''Heroes of Lagaard'' and ''Knight of Fafnir'' is known as [[CuteLittleFang Fang-chan]] on the /vg/ general threads.
** The AwesomeButImpractical Nine Smashes skill from ''The Drowned City'' sometimes gets called "[[CriticalFailure Two Misses]]". The Gladiators' low Agility impairing their accuracy doesn't help.
** ''Beyond the Myth'':
*** The mascot female Fencer has been commonly called [[Manga/NewGame Nene]] due to her resemblence to the anime character. The other female Fencer is known as "Braids", and as a lesser note, several of the other female portraits bear some resemblances to other Manga/NewGame girls.
*** Much of the fandom generally accepts the oldest female Rover being addressed as [[NeverMessWithGranny Granny]], especially given how there's a voice set that's ''blatantly'' angled toward being for her.
*** Blade Dancer Masurao are also known as "4kats" due to their ability to wield 4 katana, whereas Blade Masters are often called "1kats".
*** Thanks to their low INT growth, Therians often get nicknamed "dumb bunnies" by the EO General thread on /vg/.
*** Brounis are sometimes called "potatos" by the same /vg/ dwellers, due to their similarities to Lalafells from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' and Harvins from ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy''.
** The Forest Folk and [[spoiler:Arken]] are both called Salads by /vg/ dwellers.
** The female Highlander is sometimes affectionately called "Shiitake" after her mushroom-shaped hair decorations.
** All the adventurers in general are sometimes collectively referred to as "Etriams" by some of the /vg/ general thread regulars.

* MissingEpisode: The obscure ''Etrian Odyssey Mobile'' game released for i-αppli mobile phones. The only proof of its existence is some of its soundtrack uploaded in [=YouTube=] and Nicovideo, and a [[http://dihyhi.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-47.html walkthrough with screenshots]]. It's official website is also defunct.
