That's one of my favorite things to do in a JRPG. I love going to a random person's house and rummaging through their things for 50g. I am very glad they have the prompts too.
Too bad I'm at work, or I'd be playing right now. I did manage to get the Black Mage job beforehand. Also, when I updated my profile, I received 3 new friends. I guess when someone adds my friend code, they automatically come to my game?

I love this game.

I lol'd at that part. The writing is very entertaining!

When buying equipment, what's the little B that sometimes appears next to a character's portrait in the bottom stats screen?
One of my favourite things about JRPGs is the towns and their atmospheres. It's a shame that the towns aren't that fleshed out in terms of enter-able buildings, but what you can walk around sure is pretty. The hand-drawn textures was a great design choice.
As to villagers, every day you can Update Data to get 4 profiles from other players (I don't know if they are actual players or just AI :S). You can Summon them in battle and they each give you an extra villager for Norande. I don't actually know if you can do the same with 3DS friends though, today is the first day I actually have friends.
...that last line sounded so pathetic lol
It's equipment aptitude and it's dependent on the character's job i.e. Swordmasters have an S aptitude in swords, Knights have S aptitude with shields and A with armour, etc.

I believe it's their affinity/rank with using that particular item. No idea if having an S rank in that piece makes it have bonus stats or if you just take a penalty if you suck at equiping it though.
The job's proficiency with the equipment. B gets no bonuses and penalties.

Equipment aptitudes.
The higher the rank (S is best), the better the Physical Attack for weapons and Physical Defence for armours.

Would a B be better than no letter appearing at all then?

I think its between 3-5 (I've gotten 3 both days in a row) and they're definitely players, I just got Duckroll lol
As for friends, seems like you can only have a total of 20 friends loaded up at one time, anything above that, the game will ask you to delete some until youre at lvl 20. Also "Update" seems to refresh both your stats (so your friends can get an updated version of your character) as well as check to see if any of your friends have updated recently. So for everyone's sake, Update as much as possible since it also saves your game
I think it's the same.

I know that feel.
Nice that the book also lets you review any event you have already seen.
The only time no letter appears is when it's a piece of equipment that doesn't require any kind of proficiency to use, like hats and robes (versus helms and armour), in which case all characters in any kind of job get the same benefit from equipping them. Additionally, proficiency only confers a bonus, never a penalty - an equipment E rating means the character gets 100% of the described benefit, and as you rise through the ratings this increases each time til an S rating gets 200%.

Duckroll? Weird, I guess he has a NA 3DS?

This game is so good! Been waiting for a great jRPG since Lost Odyssey and thankfully this game had delivered so far.
Anywho, here's my friend code. Please add me and let me know so I can add you too. Thanks!

I'm having trouble with understanding how gaining XP works in the game. Like yesterday, I was fighting mob groups that gave me around 60XP total if I at least got the one turn bonus. When I started grinding a bit today, the bonus jumped to +20 and I suddently got 80XP per battle.
Now I didn't even reset the game...and the same group of monsters, are back to 60XP with the same bonus...That's weird.

Na, names are set since they actually have VA and refer to characters by name
Damn. Well thanks for the answer. I was hoping you could.

Thought he lived in Singapore, buuuut I don't know where I got that from.
So hmmm...
I unlocked the Thief asterisk by beating Thief in his cave, and now back in Ancheim (sp?). I'm going over to Merchant's office and telling him the jig is up, but it looks like I get to fight him and Bodyguard. How am I supposed to do this fight??? His Takeover attack lops off 300 HP each time regardless of protect or default and he's got 6k HP
Also my FC is 3007-8076-1049. I'll try to add as many as I can!
What classes are you? I just did that fight last night at the same level as you and didn't have issues.

You probably had one-turn hero? (or ace?) Forget the correct name for it. The 1 turn kill bonus gets better the longer you have it going. The third one (10 battles in a row) gets you around +20 bonus xp and it probably scales further but I'm not there yet so I can't say for sure.

no rank is actually equivalent to A rank
and haha, the Final Fantasy wiki has Bravely Default ads plastered all over the place
This explains it pretty well.
Gonna use spoiler tags here, but it's for mechanics, not story. Some people like to make those discoveries on their own, so I'll tag 'em for now.

For every battle you finish in your team's first opportunity to act, you’ll earn 10% more experience points. That means if you defeat your opponents in one turn, you’ll increase the pace you level up. Continuing your One Turn streaks will allow for further experience boosts. In fact, finish 10 battles in a row (in just one move) and One Turn will double the experience bonus to 20% per battle. 10 more battles finished with One Turn will further your EXP boost with a 50% experience bonus per battle. You're on your way to maximum experience points.
Go out guns blazing if you want this bonus. If any foe survives your first turn, you won't get the bonus and your hot streak will be reset. This means you'll be back to fighting for the 10% bonus, even if you'd been getting 50% for some time.

Same FAQ has info about the JP bonus "unscathed" and money bonus "sweeper" as well.
I'm liking BD. It doesn't necessary reinvent the wheel, but as something targeted towards nostalgic JRPGers, it's far from offensive. The first few hours can be pretty tough due to having an incomplete party and limited job access, but once you get
and
, combat becomes much more manageable. I haven't died once in the third or fourth dungeon, while having had to grind just to beat the first one with the Orcs. I've read the game falters 2/3rds of the way through, which is a common JRPG thing IIRC, so I'll try to make it at least that far.
Oh, and I never needed to buy an SP Drink or even deal with Norende much.

That might be it. But I'm not sure because I've been winning fights consistently for a long while now in a single turn and I can't get it up the same amount of XP no matter what. Even with the +24 to +28 bonus, I can't hit the numbers I had before. T_T

Sorry if this has been asked a ton, but is it worth it to go back and do the demo for the 20 villager trick?
I already started the real game but only played for about an hour. Is it that hard to get the villagers otherwise, or is it that good of a head start to go for the villagers in the demo?
If so, how quickly can you get to the 20 villager trick section?

I thought that was the 'Add Friends' option was for. Oh well. At least I've got 5 right now.
