i have etrian odyssey untold millennium girl and etrian odyssey 2 fafnir knight on 3ds. would you recommend starting with the original?

Yep, its pure D&D style JRPG gameplay that focuses on the gameplay and how best to mold your team while exploring the dungeons as you overcome its challenges. And its one of the more difficult JRPGs so an experienced player like you should be able to have a good challenge with it. The story is a lot more basic than most JRPGs but it makes up for it with its atmosphere and gameplay which I think is what you look for the most in a JRPG.

i have always heard great things about the series and it looks good, i have just always been playing something else. i have so many games i havent played it can get overwhelming just trying to figure out what to play next.

i think i will enjoy xenoblade so i will probably be on that for a while but i may give l etrian odyssey a shot next. i am looking forward to playing star ocean first departure on switch or ps4 soon as well but i played it years ago on psp so i may try something else first

I really liked it, myself! Incredible combat system, fun exploration, great soundtrack, entertaining story. I feel I'm in the minority of liking the English VA cast, though.

Biggest gripe (and it's rather big) is the gacha system for combat members. That's just...dumb.

The general consensus is to start with 4 first because its tailored to newcomers with more powerful classes and shorter levels. It has an extra mode that the others dont have though. If by original you mean the DS games you should probably skip those since those are very outdated and unbalanced. The untolds are superior remakes in every way. The stories arent connected so 4 is still a good starting point and then MG, FK, 5 and Nexus. There isnt an untold for 3 though and Nexus as a culmination of the series references 3 a lot you might want to check 3 out even though its very dated compared to the 3ds games.
Personally I started with 5 which was the game that focused on the challenge the most so it was a unique experience for me because I kept getting my ass handed to me lol.

And I havent played xenoblade yet but I heard good things about it and that it can get emotional in places so I hope you have fun with it!

i think the two i have are remakes? millennium girl i think is a remake of the original?

i am not far enough into xenoblade to really give a good opinion yet but the opening was really cool and the combat seems fun. the world itself is a very original concept and i like the initial buildup at least .

Correct. So you can go with them first too if theyre the ones you have. The originals are dated like the original FE games that were remade so you dont need to go back to them unless you really want to see what they were like.
Good luck on your blade pulls. Theres a special rare one that you might get early. Im wishing you luck on it.

I enjoyed Xenoblade 2 . The combat system was amazing, although I wouldn't say the same about the rest of the game, it was overall good.

Combat is great. Story is typical JRPG but fine. Character building is detailed with lots of places to play with.

Lot to do, I honestly think I got 100 hours out of one playthrough. But I was a bit of a completionist in terms of quests, getting some rarer blades, etc.

It's fun.
