Yeah, it's the subtle touch there. The way the king was so cheesy is when it first hit me, then the party chat with Agnes in the cave is when I was sure it was on purpose. If it were played up more it would be too much and wouldn't be material to become classic, but it's at just the right level here.
really? I love her so much because of that. but that didn't stop me from posting this.

I'm another that got a crushed CE from Amazon. They had no stock for a replacement, but much to my surprise I got a full refund. I'll see on Sunday/Monday if I can find one at a Gamestop that someone forgets to pick up, however unlikely that may be.
Just wondering why they thought it would be such an awesome idea to ship these in bubble mailers.

Rather enjoying the game so far. Playing with the English dub because I've met about 80% of the voice cast... I have to listen to it so I can bug them about awkward line deliveries at a later date.
Oh! Bryce Papenbrook is Tiz and he's a pretty cool guy. Anyone with a taste for the worst kind of anime.. will note that he's also the main male character in Eiken.
He's also Zidane in Dissidia for those keeping track.
There's a few characters where I'm like.. Oh, Stephanie Sheh. Yup. That's Stephanie Sheh. (Airy) I'm looking forward to running into Kyle Herbert's character as well as others I know.

Did you have to return the game? My C.E. Was crushed as well from Amazon. LOL

Here's what happened to me:
Pre-ordered CE on December 3.
I got the "We shipped your order e-mail" yesterday. Sweet!
Earlier today, they tell me there was a processing error and they made me a replacement order with no ship date. Boo!
I e-mail them to complain, and the CS rep responds by cancelling my replacement order and issuing me a refund. What the fuck, ask first why don't you?
I e-mail them again to complain about CS, and they tell me that since the refund was already processed, they can't create another replacement order, and they don't have stock, so they suggested I buy from a third party seller and give me an additional $30 to make up the difference in price (which, by the time I received the e-mail, wasn't enough anymore). It's certainly not enough to make up for the delay to me, since I already went ahead and spent an additional $40 to buy the game digitally. Easily the worst experience buying from Amazon I've ever had.
Nope, no worries. It just gives you a little head start item wise. Nothing important.

Mine's coming on Wednesday. I can grind in the demo in the hopes of beating the dragon.
Thanks! Time to dive right into the main game.
I just got into the nuts and bolts of the class system. As a Final Fantasy Tactics fanatic, I approve.
I would also like to mention that I feel as if the visuals look muddy in 2D, but outstanding in 3D. I normally play in 3D about 75% of the time when playing a 3DS game, but for Bravely Default I'm spending 100% of my time in 3D. It's like an artbook come to life.

Apropos of nothing, I just have to say I absolutely love the sounds in the starting town at night time.
Crickets, a gentle breeze, and just quiet. It's so peaceful and relaxing.
Hardly feels like video games ever have anything like that - they always seem to have some overblown music playing in the background or something.

Yeah, I typically use the 3D so little that I forget that the system's main gimmick is the 3D. Of the hundreds of hours I've spent playing 3DS games, I figure less than 20 were in 3D. The 3D in this game looks really good, though, so I may play the entire thing in 3D.

For a JRPG so traditional, it's oddly appealing to someone who typically dislikes Japanese RPGs. I think the save system has a lot to do with that, but the art style is fantastic and I love that defense is actually a worthwhile choice in battle that's also rewarded.
Sold out everywhere here so I had to buy it digitally. Will probably hate myself for that down the line.

My CE came from Amazon in a bubble mailer, and here's what happened:
Was gonna process a return and just go digital, but I noticed people are looking for the CE. If you don't mind having some dings in the corner, PM me for details.

For your own sake, please don't. This is a fine idea on paper, but terrible in the context of this game, you'll discover. You'll want to change things up often. Your second ability is almost as important as your primary, in boss battles. Furthermore,
You won't be getting enough JP to level up jobs past level 8 or 9, until you break into a certain area of the world map.
Oh yeah?
Fiiiiiiine I'll swap
I have so much anxiety about not finishing jobs haha. It's a completionist thing.BUT IF YOU SAY SO

For shits sake Amazon! Put this stuff in a box and problem solved. Everything else I order from amazon is in a fucking box.
So so stupid. If my box is damaged I'm getting my money back.

Feel free to add me, my FC is 2423-2514-4317. Just PM to let me know!
Hard mode with normal encounter rate is.... hard. I'm out of cash and items already. Monk skills stop missing so much thanks.
On the other hand I can summon friends in battle and have them OHKO bosses... soooo.
Also isn't ablink kinda broken? There's no limitation to it is there?

Is it worth smashing the demo to get the carry across stuff?
Absolutely not.
Not now that the game is out, no.
Yeah, I used it once, said "That's too powerful" and won't ever use them again.
My friends list is completely empty so I might as well fill it out, FC is 0361 6762 6094.

My Amazon CE copy came damaged. I have asked them to be more careful when handling and shipping collector editions. Unfortunately, they cannot be replaced as easily as other items.
Now, to finally play the game!

Yeah if mine comes dinged I'm going to complain. I normally don't care but a collector's edition should obviously be handled with care.
Man, really glad I was impatient this time given everyone's boxes.
By the way, any way to start from the very beginning in Japanese? I may stick with English just because the game started that way with no option to change, but if there's anything other than presumably a NG+ I'll rewatch the start quickly.

Just got Ringabell and all I have to say is I loooove the characters and dialogue in this game.
Also, summoning friends (including "guests") is ridiculously OP. I was like "maybe I should use a potion... orrrr this just beat the boss for me" I don't think I'll be using that feature much.
Gonna read his journal/fanfic thing then go to bed for now.
