Long term party setup shouldn't really be your objective.
In chapter 4 they literally give you white mage and black mage upgrade classes, and you should already be starting to max out some of your jobs. Freelancer is mostly what the game pushing you towards once you've maxed most classes on a character.
Haven't really had the need to train someone for more than 4 Levels as a black mage yet because I already have the physical fighters in my party as Spell Fencer in their secondary job.

Yeah, still on the first chapter.
Once per day you can do the "update data" on the save screen to gain 3-5 new residents.

It's funny how different my experience has been from many others. And most of it stems from the fact I was running Edea as a Freelancer to get JP Up relatively early.
Awesome, thanks.

Hartschild is easily the best looking town I've seen so far.
Yup, I think it also has the best soundtrack untill now. I haven't seen the cities after that one though, so maybe it will get beaten by an even better one.

My favourite part about the final boss music is
how you get to hear snippets of each of the characters' themes in it.
I don't know, but playing 3DS at home and getting StreetPasses aren't really related.
That said, you can set up HomePass if you're so inclined.

Yup. It's the Level 10 Freelancer Support Ability, it gives the character equipped with it 20% more JP.
I don't know, but playing 3DS at home and getting StreetPasses aren't really related.
How wouldn't they be? I thought the whole idea of Streepass was when you passed other people with a 3DS you can exchange information with them. But if I am at home, there isn't anyone to "pass by" and have my Streetpass activate with.

It's more annoying when all of the 3 spam Rocket Punch at the same time lol
What I mean is you take your 3DS out with you to get StreetPasses. Whether you want to play the system away from home or not is ancillary.

The JP up ability is a waste of a slot though. The boost is minimal and you can easily max each of your jobs in 20 minutes just with the Growth egg

Grind the open world at the fastest battle speed, using auto-battle and max encounter,
turn off encounter in dungeons

profit.
Do this if your really not enjoying your time in there.
Get the Dungeon Master Freelancer skill. You won't take any more damage from the lava.

You mean for the genome abilities? if so then there is no skill called firaja in it. There is firestorm, fireball and hellfire though and you can get them all from normal enemies
About
.
After reading some of the comments I was worried it could be really difficult, hearing people couldn't beat it at 52?
I did it at 43 and it was incredibly easy, with his fixed pattern and all. Granted, he constantly killed one party member with his kickass dark move, but that was supposed to be the mechanic of the fight anyway, dealing always 9999 dmg. Never bothered dispelling his regen nor healing the poison (he would often kill the poisoned anyway, so that was a "free" poisona). But I'm playing at normal, I guess you have to grind quite a bit to achieve the same result at hard.
Also, I guess I saw through the "twists" quite early
Anyway, I'm really enjoying the game a lot and due to my work it's lasting longer than expected (don't have much time during the week). Currently 35+ hours in chapter 3. It's gonna be a long and pleasant journey!

probably due to my previous work I began quite proficient in recognizing actors voices, even if they were distorted, also the name of the character is a hint...

The
-ja genome skills
got Blizzaja (Mammon) and Thundaja (Asmodeous). I've heard that Beelze Alpha/Beta have Firaja.

Oh right, so if they don't show in the journal then what's the point in getting them? Do you get something for it?
The growth egg is also a waste of time, it doubles xp and jp but zeros money, and considering that a lot of the better gear in game requires a lot of pg you are probably just better off grinding it out 1/1.
One egg is a complete contradiction to the other also so just grind without either.

No, don't get anything but they are really powerful
This isn't quite true. Because most equipment upgrades are only available in town, you're better of keeping the Growth egg equipped in between towns, and then using the increased power you get from that to quickly grind up the money for gear in towns. Or vice versa (using the Golden Egg to get the money for good equipment to make grinding Exp and JP faster) though that's slightly less effective since moving on is generally better than not doing so.
More related to Genome abilities, ch.7:
The Ominus Crowe summon Bahamut used Pico Flame or something like that. I battled him twice, the first time I thought I got this attack as a genome ability, but then I got wiped and tried it again, got hit but did not learn it. I was defaulting there, but that should not affect genome abilities, right? I'm just making sure that I probably dreamed up learning the ability the first battle.

The growth egg was definitely worth it for me, it cuts done the time needed to max a job significantly and considering there are groups of enemies that can give 30,000+pg per battle, money should never really be a problem. The most expensive piece of equipment outside of the golden/growth egg and costumes costs 100k, you could make enough money for that in 3 or 4 fights
I think that shows up as fireball
All right, thanks. Is it available from other monsters?

Go to the Florem region and run around outside the area where you fought Artemia, you can find groups of 6 Rafflesia outside which can give 999 JP with Growth Egg equipped. Vampire Castle is also a good area.
For the blue chest items, some of the stuff is ok but most of it is outclassed by the best stuff from Norende village. Only the
Brave Suit
Yoichi Bow
You can get it from D'gon, which is a normal enemy you can find fairly early in the game. Can't remember exactly where though
Thanks!

dafuq, I'm at the same spot and only level 54.
All right, thanks.
Just got up to the boss, but that skill could be useful in the future, thanks for the tip!
The boss is kicking my ass,
though the bastard seems to be weak against thunder. Is there any way to block the huge aoe attack, or do I just default it and heal like crazy afterwards?
Edit: nvm, just beat it.
not a story spoiler, just the answer to the question:
You can return, but the monsters will be stronger. You will be stronger as well by the point you go back there though.
