Bravely Default |OT| For the Americas

Final (True) Boss question:
Your level seems right, at least. Have you leveled Black and White Mage at all? You have a lotta physical damage going on, and Red Mage is more a jack of all trades type than a dedicated magic user. So with Black/Magic you'd be damaging/healing more (respectively) than with Red. Also, Spell Fencer is very useful if you want your physical units to be able to do elemental damage at will
Since you're new to JRPGs, I'd recommend a more balanced team: Healer (White Mage/Spiritmaster/Salvemaker), Physical Damage (if you want beefy defense Knight/Valkyrie, squishy but usually better offense Thief/Ranger/Ninja), Magic Damage (Black/Summoner), and probably Support (Performer, Time Mage, etc)... or really whatever you want for the fourth character. Of course, Bravely Default is flexible enough that you can go in with whatever teams you want and shouldn't be too bad off, so this is really only a very basic suggestion. :3 Hope it helps a bit.
Do I really have to wipe out Ouroboros' HP in a single turn? (I'm playing on Easy, so he has 75,000 HP if his Recovery technique is to be believed)
I'm really hoping not, since my characters are doing no where near 9999 per hit, so I couldn't really Brave and kill him in 12 attacks. If so, any advice? I suppose I could cheese it with Friend Summons, since I'm pretty sure I have at least 8 sporting max damage, but I'm kinda wondering what people did, first.

You just have to survive past all of the cutscenes - when you see yourself in your 3DS, you can go ahead and fight him properly.
most of the time i depend on physical attacks , i also use alot of items like bombs
but i want to know the weakness to every enemy ( super effective to certain type of attack ? )
You just have to survive long enough to move through the stages of the battle.
If you had to deplete the boss's HP in each stage, the fight would be super long :x
You'll have to use Freelancer's Examine ability to check their weakness. Or look up a guide.
There are some enemies that are a little obvious: like Undead are weak to light (or heals) or fire element, Aquatic enemies weak to lightning, Plants weak to fire... etc. I think most of the Eternian humans are weak to lightning too.

Anyone able to swap friend codes to offer me some powerful summons I could use to pummel the last end bosses, please? Would be very grateful!
can you direct me to an online guide ?
light attacks ? i thought light attack only for healing or support
can you give me an example of light and dark attack ?

I've read about that theory and considered it, but I don't really like it or believe it.
I don't really see a point in Airy's sister being in the game at all if that was the case unless it was just setting up for the sequel (which is possible).

Switch up your Jobs as soon as you hit Lv 8 or 9. The more passive abilities you are able to learn the better combinations in battle you can create when you need them. Don't let your characters sit at one specific job for too long. Diversify your portfolio!
i am grinding now on chapter 3
temple of fire
all are level 54
i started level all other jobs now, however, i just can't level more then level 10 for the job ?
using Examine for each one will take time , and i have short memory , there are a lot of monsters
Oh awesome, thanks guys. That makes me feel a lot better (I just kinda gave up after a certain amount of turns, heh)... guess I'll go finish the game now!
Google search Bravely Default bestiary or something like that.
Cures and Raise will do damage but only against Undead enemies (skeletons, zombies). There is a magic spell called Holy.
Dark element attacks are
Dark Knight abilities.
When you Examine an enemy, their info will be kept forever. After that you can just use the circle pad (I think it's that button?) to check their weakness anytime during battle without wasting a turn.

You can, but its just not worth it. There are better spots that give you a lot of JP in Chapter 5+.
Honestly I would not try to over level and take away all challenge of the game, with what you're doing.

Wow I do not understand the speed stat at all in this game.
I've played the whole time setting up my characters to act in ascending order of of the AGI/Speed stat. Now I am fighting the last optional boss, and my characters are acting all out of turn. It makes no sense. Why is my character with 92 SPD acting in front of my guy with 104 SPD? I do not have any other active speed buffs going on at all.

Higher speed just makes it more likely for characters to act first, but it's not 100% guaranteed. It's annoying if my Tiz uses Stillness before my characters attack >_<

Speed determines turn order, but there's some RNG involved kind of like for the damage calculators.

yeah, it's weird because I played the last 10 hours of the game with the SAME setup. Now in this certain boss battle, the turn order is just random as hell. It's frustrating.
Well, I don't care enough to fight with it. I need to finish Zelda anyway!
I'm confused.
With "end boss of Level 3" do you mean Chaugmar in the Fire Temple? Anyways, bosses are usually immune against Gravity magic. Would be a bit cheap otherwise, don't you think?
Just default three times after the battle starts, go all out in the fourth round, default in the fifth round and then heal up to repeat that circle.

*uses Gravity on the New Year's Nemesis twice*
(that doesn't work does it)
so, i have to level up the spellfencer job, to any level ?
Got some questions now that I'm finally closing this game out.
I did read some stuff on how to get the true ending, I just gotta keep on purifying the crystals right?
At what chapter is the best to do the side quests and get the better armor and weapons?
Is free lunch and pirate x4 the best combo? And I use white Mage with spirit master as healer combo, that's the best combo for healing right?

With the encounter rate and difficulty sliders, it's only as grindy as you want it to be - however, the second half is repetitive. The main idea is to do Chapters 5 and 6 as quickly as possible, and then you can start enjoying Chapters 7 and 8 normally.
1.
Yep, for the true ending keep awakening crystals like Airy tells you too.
2.
Chapter 7 is the best for getting the better weapons/armour, as far as I'm aware the only thing you can steal from the asterisk holders in Chapter 8 are Elixirs and Turbo Ethers, but the story side to the sidequests in Chapter 8 is also very good and the fights are fun and will show you some strategies to battling you might not be aware of.
3.
It's one combo, and it's up there as one of the best damage-dealing combos, but people have different combinations that they like to mess around with such as High Jump with Hasten World. White Mage/Spiritmaster is a good healer combo, although I'd argue Spiritmaster/White Mage is better since the Spiritmaster's passive ability is Save 25% MP when using White Magic
Ah thank you so much
Also, should I save the chests for later or do they give out the same loot regardless?
They give out the same loot as far as I'm aware - it's better to get them as early as possible so you can use them, since the Norende weapons/armour and the
bonus dungeon weapons/armour
Plus, it counts towards completing your encyclopedia if you like that kind of thing
(like I do)
bonus dungeons? You mean like the vampire,which I'm getting the crystals for. Or something else?
Oh damn, is the final chapter 8 or is it actually called final chapter?
It's actually called The End, so the chapter progression is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, The End - the bonus dungeon only opens up in The End chapter.
you said earlier that chapter 7 have the side bosses with good drop/steal options and 8 with just elixirs and stuff for steal items. How about their drop items? Anything special or is it the same?
The game will show you the weakness of every monster you meet, if you have previously examined it. The only way it gets any easier is if you have someone else take over the controls for you.
Nearing what I assume is the end of Chatper 4, and I'm confused as to what is going on in the story. There is obviously some other side to the story, but the games' characters seem to be adamant on not telling me.
And then freaking
And then freaking
Yulyana appears and says he is a part of the Council of Six. Not really sure of what to make of that.

That really depends on how you play the game. Are you someone who does most/every sidequest? Explores a lot? Battles a lot? Would you grind any to level up all the various jobs for each character or just focus on certain ones? You can probably beat it in 35-40 hours, but it took me around 100 hours to do everything I wanted to in the game.

Grinding and leveling for the sake of it? Rather not.
Side quests? If they are well made and the game is engaging enough, Yes please!
So I guess it would be just around 50h for my play style...
Do the Vampire class side story in chapter 4, and then the Conjurer class side story in chapter 6 to get a lot of the world backstory. Basically, everyone is in on it.
