OMG THANK YOU
I thought this was just happening to me, I kept getting 'an error has occurred' whenever trying to add friends, it just would not have it at all. I had to wipe my entire friends list (all 100! *still cries*) and re-add them tentatively in blocks in order to check I wasn't re-adding the offending friend, if that was indeed the problem. It did fix things, and I'm merrily abilinked up in my party now. Still, weird bug. I doubt it's widespread though, I couldn't find anything about it elsewhere...
Would anyone know the best way to bring this to Nintendo/SE's attention? It's little more than a courtesy as I don't think they'll go so far as to patch it, but it would be good to let them know at least.

One thing I have to say, as super low res the art is, I really like the zoom in on the initial city when you move. The graphics are really beautiful in how painter like it is.
Also just finished the first boss. The brave and default system seems pretty simple, but hopefully it'll become more complex later on. Right now it's just default default then spam brave.

when fighting trash mobs just spend all your brave at once to annihilate them before they get a turn. Brave debt doesn't carry over between battles

Oh I was talking about the boss battle. Hopefully it'll evolve beyond that.
So far I haven't seen any mechanics playing with it, but it's pretty fun just thinking when to save up brave for when the enemy definitely isn't defaulting, or when it's worth it to maybe shell up the party and spend the next few turns in stasis

You'll start getting abilities that can effect BP and that cost BP as the game progresses.
Oh quick question for someone is the 3rd member of the Chomper family only available in the Bonus Dungeon ? One of the sources I'm looking at says so, another says it can be found in Eternia in
but I haven't had any luck looking there.

Some enemies can mess with your Brave count and there are abilities to play with it as well.

Ugh. No reason for this in 2013.

Holy shit
is such a beautiful location. Jaw dropping.
Though the story is going into a pretty weird pro-religion anti-atheism route.

Dream Team and Pokemon have a fair share of awfully compressed audio. It's really sad

On the side note, still no sight of the tax letter from Parcelforce for my For the Sequel copy ;_;

Ugh.... NA demo has been announced for Jan 2nd.
I'm happy, but it seems so far away!

They couldn't even give us the demo before Christmas? C'moooon

Hmmmm I should add this to the OP
So what carries over from the demo exactly? Is it just items / friends and maybe the village unlocks? I'd rather not import at all if it affects the character's levels and jobs.
Pretty good demo btw, timer says I've spent upwards 6 hours on it but maybe sleep mode counts towards that. Mastered one job on each character, was a little sad when I wasn't unlocking any new ones

I was worried the NA Collector's Edition wouldn't get a pretty box since there's so much less stuff in it.
No longer worried!
How big is that box?
Shin Megami Tensei IV big?
No idea...
Probably bigger than SMT4 though. You can sort of eyeball it from the ESRB logo which are usually a standard-ish size.

Damn those
from the chapter 4 sidequest are a pain D:
Managed to kill 2 of them: the
one and the
one.
First one was really easy, but damn the second one took ages (had to do damage with
attacks only, most of the time...)
However, I found out that the BP Recovery support skill is AWESOME in this fight. I guess the other
will behave like the first two but with another
attached to them, so I'll just go with the same strategy, it takes time but at least it works.

Should arrive in the next two hours, hopefully.

I'm praying I get a decent amount of cash gifts this Christmas. I need to pay for this game somehow! XDFound the image at full resolution. Aw yiss.
Keep in mind that the game is well over 3gb. Most commercial carts are only 4gb or less, they could have opted with an 8gb cart but that probably would have made costs go up.
Bravely Default probably has the biggest file size of any 3DS game right now.
Yea its really tricky.
That BP recovery skill is really annoying because he heals himself every time he has more than 1 BP and grinds you down slowly after that.

I just initiated an infinite loop of two party members lightly hitting the enemy and two Merchants healing him. Glory.
It released in Europe and Japan some time ago.
I just took control of my party in chapter 5. Got a short question about that:
Ignoring that this chapter already is shaping up to be a huge hassle, is there any point in making the blue quests in this chapter? Or are they just there in case I missed a job class earlier in the game? Will I miss parts of the story if I'll head straight to the temples?

Finally got around to preordering the collector's edition. Now to wait for Feb 7th to arrive.

4 Niinjas will make that fight go easily. You can win without taking any damage using Utsusemi. Or grind your levels and other jobs and win with sheer force.
They're there if you missed them but the scenes also change ever so slightly. This had to be the worst section of the game by far, personally. Hate padding like that. Thankfully it's only as long as you want to make it. I just did it all. I say just do the Orange blips if you done everything previously.

Does your agility affect the amount of times your attacks hit?
Finally beat it. The second half of the game almost killed my buzz for the game, ended up skipping a lot of stuff, but I have most items and job classes mastered anyway. Major spoilers:
Everyone made fun of the name when it was released, but now it makes perfect sense: fLying fAiry, "Not FF" indeed. Love it.
So Tiz had Airy's part-God sister inside him keeping him alive? Persona 3 ending apparently. Oh wait, apparently he's still alive and one of the leads in Bravely Second with a moon girl. Cliffhanger, god damn.
Agnes' voice actress was fitting. She was just a terrible (unacceptable!) character. Brainwashed religious zealots aren't appealing in games or in real life.
Battle system was great but forcing you to repeat the same four bosses five times was ridiculous. Way to let a story plot drag down the gameplay. It was a nice twist but could've been done much better. Hopefully the sequel has a bigger budget so there's less reusing assets. I'll buy B2nd, but they better ditch this parallel worlds business. And Agnes too.
Having your abililink friends link with the worlds at the end was charming though. I love it when titles have gameplay mechanics that work within the story.

I think it's your job level. When you start a new job you'll only do a couple of hits. Level it up and you'll start doing more. I vaguely remember the game telling me this at some point XD I think certain weapons hit more often too. Bows seem to do at least 10 hits for me at a level 9 job compared to other level 9 characters with different weapons.

Is it odd that the reason I'm the most hype for this game is the OST?
Not at all! I bought the OST because it was so awesome, before they even announced localisation of the game. Best way to keep myself hyped (and full of hope) all year XD
I've only heard a couple songs off the OST, but they have me super hyped for the game.

There's many different reasons a person can be hyped for this game, and none of them are wrong.
