Bravely Default Demo Out Now on European E-Shop

This is one game that I absolutely must implore people to try in 3D mode. The way the 2D backgrounds transform in 3D is really something incredible, in my opinion.
 
...How do I do the first quest? I'm running around on the map and I've found one panther so far and it dropped one of the five beast livers that I need. I'm also vastly underpowered & geared for the dungeons yet.

The game seems fantastic though. Love the art style, music, and combat system.

The 3D on this game is the best I've seen yet. Great stuff.

The first town looks amazing when you leave it idle for a sec and you get to see the whole town.
 
Got kinda mauled by the first boss, might have killed it with 2 remaining characters but heh I'll give it another try tomorrow.

Don't go out without a white mage people!

Forgot about 3D, I'll be sure to try it out.

Don't mess with the dungeons before being asked to, focus on the quest at hand and gear up.

It's incredibly beautiful, especially when it zooms out to the whole town, confusing but the 3D is awesome.

Turn up your encounter rate, I've beaten up tons of panthers lol, constantly being poisoned though XD

Just keep running. I encountered most tigers south of the city in the desert at daytime.

Also invest the money you earn. I thought the spells were most helpful (cure, poisona, fire and blizzard)
 
I'm not sure what's the difference between Job Command, Support Abilities, Fixed Command and Specialty.

Basically the fixed ones are abilities you can use due to the job class, job command and support abilities are basically ones you can choose to use whichever job you have chosen as a class. So you can mix and match abilities.
 
It wouldn't be a Square Enix game without some grinding.

You don't have to grind. Change your strategy.
People's first response to difficulty in an RPG being grinding is the reason why people think all RPGs require grinding.

In this game, you need to make heavy use of the brave and default commands, and they can change the tide of battle dramatically if used well.

I am using Brave & Default, quite a lot actually. But she just uses Aeroga and 1-shots someone in my party and then goes into default every time I use up my brave points.

I wasn't complaining about grinding btw, it's actually not something that bothers me too much.
 
Oh yeah, almost forgot about this, and you can transfer some items in the game?!
Downloading.

By the end depending on how much you do in the demo, you'll get 7 items that will apparently greatly help you at the begining of the main game. Be sure to get your entire family to download the demo and streetpass them ;P Norende needs a rebuilding XD
 
I am kinda afraid that this will means that the Americas will not receive the demo AT ALL, Sonic Lost World 3DS style

Why? The game releases here (Australia) in less than a month. It's not out for another 3 months in the US. You'll more than likely get the demo one month before, same as us. Wouldn't make sense to put it out so early.
 
No kidding regarding the 3D effect. It's beautiful.

Still trying to complete the whole quest things and getting used to the battlesystem. A level 2 dragon knight can learn a attack which attacks an entire group of enemies. Combined with my Knight's Brave x 4 attack I can pack quite a punch. Went into the two dungeons but I got destroyed. Wonder what I should do, buy better armor, change jobs or...
 
My friend Code if anyone wants to add me >.>

1263-6896-7744

Game starts off surprisingly difficult, had to grind there for a bit and gear up before I could do the quests :D

Added you. I'm 4854-6585-24874253-3526-7631. Not sure if internet friends work in the Demo though. I got the impression only Streetpass / Local Wireless did.
 
Beat it earlier this year, my favorite RPG in a long time.

Enjoy everyone!

And as said, you never need to grind! Everything is so customizable. Best battle system in a long time.... or perhaps ever?

Oh? You need streetpass for the Demo too?
Well, I have 3 3DS in my house, shouldn't be a problem! :)
 
This was my game of the year last year.

A few suggestions/comments. Play with the 3D on if you can. The game looks positively gorgeous in 3D. For those of you on the fence about ruining the game by playing the demo, no need to worry. It sounds like this is the same as the final demo we got, which means it's all demo-exclusive content. Play your asses off.
 
That first boss was really tense. One never knew when an Aeroga could happen and I didn't have enough Phoenix Downs to revive more than once. Poor Edea ended the battle without reciving EXP/JP and that activated my OCD about everyone leveling at the same time.

I've always hated status effects like charm but in this case it was really tame compared to Aeroga x2.

The 1st Boss is weak to
Wind. But Aero is a Level 2 White spell. I really should have levelled White Mage to 2 on my Black Mage.
Seriously messed me up.

The equipment is a bit hard to get a grasp of , e.g. with a B rank in Armor sometimes robes are better (at similar cost) , sometimes armor is, with an A or S rank the actual Armor is always better.

Doesn't seem to be any disadvantage for equipping something even if you're rank is E though, so equipping a Shield is always a good idea unless you're dual-wielding/two-handed. Unless there's a hidden penalty that I'm not seeing.

I wish I could see things through your eyes :-'(
Bloody turtle was not easy but with patience and strategy, it is not that difficult either.

I can't wait to finish the bigger dungeon. After that, the wait will be long.
