Bravely Default |OT| For the Americas

If anybody wants big damage, just give me a shout (*cough* PM and FC).

I haven't gotten to
999,999
damage yet, but I'm close.

EDIT

Loved a lot of Ringabel and Edea's lines.

pfft
Friend Summons are for the weak :p

also what do you think of Bravely Default Olivia
muahaha guess who killed her

I've been buying up the armor as I can afford it at least for the magic users in my group to beef up their physical def. The late chapter 1 boss wasn't that bad, but I had some pretty bad issues at the end of the first sub-mission
the thieves in the grind house hit damn hard...Eye gouge one-shot a few of my chars and took my knight down by half in one hit.

I think I'm finally able to progress on to the next chapter here. So far so good.



That's insane. Seems like monk ends up being a complete beast end game. I wonder if he'd got ninja paired with it for maximum damage output.

Honestly I have no idea how people are using monks. Whenever I look at them, they don't work the way as I thought.

Gives all the fucks
Well, after a rather crappy day (had to pay $50 for a tow truck to take me to a gas station a mile away because my broken fuel indicator was actually right about there being low fuel, tripped & scrapped my knee leaving class & ripping my jeans), seeing my CE arrive from GameStop in pretty much perfect condition is a good way to make me feel better. Maybe I'll start it tonight if I have the chance.
 
Just wanted to jump in on the Bravely Default love. I become obsessed with job/class customization. I replayed Fire Emblem 3 times just to create the perfect children. Right now I'm trying to figure out the best endgame job combos without resorting to something boring like Hasten World + Jump. Any interesting recommendations? Is Vampire a good subjob, or even main one? What would a good subjob be for the Vampire? Is it even worth the hassle to track down all the genomes?

You monster!

She's alright.

Real spoiler:

I thought the concept of having multiple vestals was interesting; it's too bad they only included two.

BP Recovery? Stillness? Arcanists? Salve-makers?

I like Vampires; they don't have super-awesome stats, but they're very versatile. I love spamming Firestorm from Chapter
5
and onwards.

:p

obviously the setup consisting of Stillness and Meteor Spam is the best
 
This game is so absurdly easy to grind that I can't help myself. I think I ended my session last night around lvl 60 in chapter 3 (though I'm at the very end of it). I have the
Pirate
job maxed out with Tiz and Ringabell and a bunch of jobs high level with each of the characters. I probably should have waited until I got further in the game where you get more JP I'm sure, but it's so effortless to level while doing other things around the house.

Anyway, loving the game. It's ironic to me that it took an old school style JRPG on a hand held to propel the JRPG genre forward with all these customization options. You can really play the way you want. Speaking of, the amount of jobs are fantastic and the pairing of a sub job and the support abilities just makes for great customization. There are so many viable strategies in this game so you can just sit back and have fun. The towns look wonderful and the music is great. I get a kick out of the job transformations and different costumes too. As for characters, Ringabell is the best by far and I love the guy and his VA. Edea is ok but I do love her Mrgrgr, not sure how anyone hates that, cracks me up haha Tiz is very ho hum and Argnes or whatever her name is is awful. I guess it wasn't all hyperbole in the Euro thread hehe She wasn't that bad for a while but once you hit Chapter 3...ugh.

Knowing how well GAF loves Sword Art Online, they must just LOVE that three of the main characters are voiced by VAs from that series hehe

Can I hit the max damage with spamming 4 of the final ability of the job I spoiler tagged above (using Free Lunch to be able to do so)?

Sort of expected from Linked Horizon. Marty has appeared on some Sound Horizon stuff.

I know nothing about Linked Horizon, I guess it explains all the hype emanating from my earlier post. I'm a big Sakuraba fan and I knew Marty was in Japan for a long time, but never in a lifetime I would've expected him to play at a Bravely Default concert.

Everything in this video was so good and so unexpected to me, I'm still listening to it as I'm typing this. Simply beautiful. The battle theme was one of the best one I heard in years and this just takes it up another level.

When music is that good I just go crazy. :p

Linked Horizon was actually formed for Bravely Default and later went on to make the openings for Attack on Titan. And that's pretty much it.

There's also Sound Horizon, which Revo uses for original compositions, but I'm not sure if Sound Horizon and Linked Horizon have different band members. Or if the bands have any permanent members apart of Revo in the first place.

I hope this game makes NPD... It should make NPD.
Would be funny if it's beats Lightning returns =p

I find it hard as hell to take edea seriously when she complains about rinabel and sexy clothes when she's a spell fencer
 
Wow, I don't think I'm overleveled anymore (and should stop turning off exp lol). The boss for the (chapter 2)
Summoner
sidequest was really hard for me. I almost died several times (and had to use a few Phoenix Downs). Granted, I wasn't going in with my "main" jobs on everyone, but it was their second best jobs each, so... it wouldn't have been that much easier. The boss just pumps out a lot of damage and keeps bringing in other enemies to beat on you.

EDIT: Holy shit, that was a
very dark end to the sidequest... I wasn't expecting that.
(same sidequest spoilers)

What level were you? That boss was easy for me.

I shot people I like more for less.

The fire summon is such a freebie. They give you a shield that makes you immune to fire in the same damn room. I'm really liking the design of the summons in general.

Amazon shipped my CE in a shitty padded mailer. Unsurprisingly, it was crushed when it arrived. God, such a love/hate relationship with them. :(

Question about equipment

Which should you focus on, stats or job preference on equipment (the E-S ranking)

Oh, that's an s, not a 5. That makes sense.

Still in chapter 1, just
turned on the wind stone
, and so far it's pretty easy. Fully default and attacking everything with auto turned on hasn't failed me yet (except for bosses, of course). Does the difficulty ramp up? I'm currently level 23.

Copy came in today!! Was really worried about this. And except for a teeny scuff mark, it's in good condition.

BTW, this is from Amaazon which you guys know had the huge trouble with the bent boxes and such. Anyway, this was also just free shipping too.

Bloodborne is shit
So when someone makes a character like Agnes are they aware of how insufferable she is and just don't give a shit? I'm totally baffled by it. They know how to make fun characters, so why waste two of the four with bland, annoying twits?

I think they hit their mark with Agnes.
She's been raised in near total isolation with an army of hand maidens attending to her every need. Of course she's going to be dry and insufferable. This only gets worse when one person she's counted as a lifelong friend is murdered right in front of her
. I'm hoping for some worthwhile character growth later on in the story. But right now in early chapter 3
she 'a driven out of grief and guilt, being a total ass in the process
.
 
Spell fencer
Theif
monk
Whitemage

Ah, that's a pretty good setup. I was
Black Mage, Black Mage, Monk, and White Mage. I was Black Mage on Tiz because I was trying to get it to level 7 which was probably a mistake, but oh well. I beat it anyways, lol.

I was 29 or 30 for all of them.

Ah okay, thanks. Not sure how much more of Chapter 2 I have, but I'm 31 at the moment. I'm
going to see the old Sage again while looking for Olivia (the water person).
 
I ended up leaving my 3DS in sleep mode nearly all weekend to get my town up and running and bought those beast gauntlet things and gave them to my monk Tiz, he destroyed everything in one brave turn so I was able to grind very easily, I'm now at level 23, made Tiz a
thief and gave him the angel bow
, and made Tiz
a Knight and gave her Liu Bu's Spear
. They wreck everything and
I just killed that dragon to get the rainbow thread.

What does Ringabel mean at the beginning after
you go back to Caldisla after meeting Agnes and he says, "Good, you found each other." Was Tiz looking for Agnes?
