I keep encountering a bug that causes the game to hang mid-battle, and eventually kicks you back to the Home screen. It's really annoying when you're on the verge of beating a tough boss

I played this for the first time today. For someone who is new to the 3DS and has been gaming on the Vita for nearly two years, I was surprised by how gorgeous and picturesque it is graphically. It's a serious looker. Other than that, the game harkens back to the golden age of Squaresoft, even though I'm only very very early in and can't really comment on much gameplay wise. But yeah, I've got good feelings about Bravely Default; I can tell already it was worth buying a 3DS for.

So I got this... wut
You can break 9999 damage in Bravely Second.
I was trying for 999 999 but I haven't worked out the right strategy yet (That's with Knuckle Lore, Natural Talent, Frenetic Fighting and P. Attack +10%), buffed to 150% P.Atk and Speed and 200% Hit Count, with Fairy Aid and High Leverage active using Torrent against a Water-Weak Kobold debuffed to 75% P.Def). I suspect I should switch out P. Attack +10% for Speculate but that's still not enough.
One of my guests has 999 999 damage so I know its doable.
I don't know if it's so much as budget as intentional design adhering to the old formula. The game is meant to be for older Final Fantasy fans.
I was preparing for the worst when I started Chapter 5 but I'm actually enjoying going back and

I hate getting wiped in in the dungeons though :| Especially since I always seem to manage all the way up to the room with the red dude where I can save but then die for whatever reason. Having to go back and do the whole dungeon again, so demoralising.
fighting all the asterisk holders and seeing their different reactions. As one of the characters put it, they seem less like bad guys now

Seriously thinking about picking up a 3DS for this game alone (although there are more games I want for it anyway). Reminds me of FF7-9 on PS1.
How long is it from start to finish ?.

If I beat the game and get the normal ending, do i have to start all over to get the true ending?
no. you will asked to save at a point before you decided to do the regular ending. you also keep all level ups you did.
i'm doing the true ending now after getting the normal ending. all of my chars are lvl.99 and all jobs mastered.

I'm doing the true ending chapter, and realized that I didn't pick up the Conjurer asterisk. Now I can't trip the sub quest flag because Yulyana won't leave his damn hut.
Am I fucked? Do I have to beat the game and then go back to his hut at the right time?
Using Kairai and then Know Thine Enemy is pretty god damn awesome.

I recently completed a run skipping most cutscenes while doing the majority of sidequests and it took me about 30 hours.

is it important to master all the jobs?
does every character have to master every job?

Honestly, grinding is so quick and easy that there's no reason not to be lvl 85 or so in Chapter 5.
no, mastering jobs is no requirement for the true ending

Most of the Chapter 5 bosses are pretty similar in difficulty (and you shouldn't have too many problems with them if you can get to Chapter 5 in the first place). The ones with multiple enemies are a tad harder especially when they are mooks who can be endlessly respawned. The other major exceptions are

Heh, I bought a 3DS precisely for the same reason. Didn't want to miss out on a JRPG that so strongly recalls the PS1 Final Fantasy games.

SQEX sent out an email to registered BDFF owners today, advertising BDFtS and B2nd. Nothing interesting in it, they should have sent it earlier anyway.

Man, I had trouble with Holly and Barras, but Crowe wasn't so bad.
It's been so long since I fought him, I can't remember any pointers, sorry. What exactly are you having trouble with? His magical damage or his status afflictments?
Outside Florem.
Grab the Firestorm Genome ability from the moths inside the Temple of Fire.
both things
. I accumulate B points, heal, then release some special attacks with Tiz and Edea, back rinse repeat. Ringabel is pretty much useless, and boss has 1800 pts...I just cant keep up, Poison and Fire are too destructive for my team

the what? ^^
regarding the true ending:
do I need to fight all the sub quest guys again? or can I simply skip that?
Do you have a white mage? Make one and just cure when you need to, I fought him earlier and found him quite easy.
Also I made Ringabel a monk and he did some decent damage. I didn't use a single special attack (I'm not entirely sure how).
Unrelated question, can you not use heal and such spells outside of battle?

So what's up with this game and amazon.de? I want to use a gift card, but it's been only available for 50 on the marketplace since forever now

You only need to do the crystals.
If you have a white mage or red mage job currently being used by anyone of your party, go to the magic section in the menu, click it, choose white magic and heal away.
that was my tactic but the HPs are just too much. I must also say i didn't have any Antidotes so poison eventually killed me..

Well, you don't need Firestorm, but outside Florem is great if you can nuke all the enemies before they can attack you (especially the group of 6 Raffliesia).
Genome abilities can be learned from monsters after you've got the
Vampire job from Vampire Castle

You need to tag people who've played the game and registered StreetPass data.
Or alternatively go to "Update Data" from the save menu and you can get 3-5 guests from the internet.

Heavier hits (two-handed) vs more hits (dual wield) - the latter would have a higher chance at a critical hit, me thinks, for the greater number of hits alone.

Nice, looks amazing !
Wow, that's a lot of game for the money.
Anyone have a 2DS ?, I used to get hand cramp as I have pretty large hands on the original 3DS which is one of the reasons I sold it. Current 3DS prices in the UK have the 3DS XL at £200 and the 2DS at £99 so the 2DS is very tempting but I'm worried about comfort for long sessions.

Guys, I need help on one of the last bosses of the true ending (chapter 8, I think?).
So I'm on the Grandship, right before you fight Airy twice in a row, and I am struggling against her 2nd form. I cannot return to the world map to do any grinding etc, so it seems I have to make do with what I've got. Unless I really can return, then please let me know! But when I go to the wheel of the ship, I can't choose to do anything.
In her 2nd form, the fight where she recovers her HP at one point, I just can't kill her. I'm struggling to work out what status effects I should protect against first and foremost - I don't seem to have enough variety in abilities and equipment to make sure everybody is protected against poison and stop and whatever else she inflicts.
But is there any way to stop that effect she puts onyou where it makes you weak to all magic attacks? I try to boost my Mag Defense with abilities/Performer abilities, but when she unleashes a magic attack and then a couple of Flares on people, I'm dead in a couple of moves.
I really wish I could get back to the world map and go grinding but I think I'm screwed.
Would love some help and tips to beat her. Thanks.

I'm guessing skill damage calculation is purely based on your main weapon, so the knight will deal more damage with them, whereas the ninja will deal more damage with the standard attack.
Don't bother buffing your magic defence, I'm pretty sure that skill removes all your buffs. You can try reducing her magic damage (the pirate's able to do that). Ideally you can use the Spiritmaster skills that reduce or even nullify element attacks. Alternatively you can use Dispel (it's a White Magic spell).
Two handed lets you wield a single weapon with 2 hands, which ups P damage. Dual wield reduces the damage penalty for dual wielding.
