I'm really enjoying the social features of this game. Day three for me and up to 47 villagers at this stage. Nice. I've barely put any time into the game (only just got my full party) but I'm doing quite well with the village building. Send/receive feature is nice too. I'm hoping to put some real time into the game today.

It will be nice when MrsBS gets her copy and we can start to boost each other.

Today I get one Nemesis, a Mammon...it's name is in Japanese and my mind is convinced that it must be the elixir variety, my heart skips. I swap both ladies to thief and equip one with thieves gloves and the steal attempts begin. Will it be Elixir or Ether? I brave x4 with each girl and successful steal in the first round! Which did I get?

[robotzombie]

Ugh, I really just can't decide on what jobs to give people

Does anyone have any decent suggestions for some job combinations to work on? Other than the obvious white/black mage?

Is there any reason to start working on time mages or merchants?

Also, I'm just about to get Ranger I believe, so that's where I am storywise...

Heh, the conversation in this game.

Agnes: "Is this a bow? OMG OMG"
Tiz: "Oh you never seen one?"
Agnes: "Nope. Can I try? Can I try?"

Problem: My Agnes been using bow for the last 10-15 levels.

I'm actually enjoying the contrast in art style with the actual dark themes in this game. Reminds me of Nintendo games.

lol, yeah same with mine. I was like "err, how were you doing 700+ during battles with no arrows then?!" I mean, I love the little skits, but sometimes they don't really jive with the gameplay all that much, lol.

Do you have to hit a certain point in the story to start gathering SP in sleep mode?

When the game introduces you to it you can start gathering in sleep mode.

As soon as the mechanic is introduced very early on. It has a cap of only 3, though.

I am a little disappointed by my local streetpass fairings. I average around 7 or 8 a day yet I've only met around 5 or so that are actually playing the full game. Plenty have played the demo though.

I know that feel, my roommate has that one share so I've gotten two a day since he received it! I told him to stop sharing it, 5 of my 7 slots are taken up by that guy now haha At least they will disappear tomorrow except the Japanese one I'm guessing since it's way past it's expiration date. Not sure how that works but I guess I'll know for sure if he is still there after the NA ones disappear.

with that said... can someone care to explain the point of the nemesis figures in the village and also how the specials work. Im confused on how lets say a dual wield special works and builds up if you are dual wielding a sword and a dagger. different weapon types?

you use ablink and link friends there to use the abilities they've leveled up but you haven't yet.

So, my character has lvl 9 jobs in almost everything, and if I were on your friend's list, then you could link me to one of your characters and use abilities across the jobs I've leveled even if you're still level 1 job level 1

You can build stacks for both specials simultaneously. It can be a good way to fit in another spear, sword, or katana if you find your buffs are expiring during boss fights. They have to be two different kinds of weapons, though.

Nemesis fights net you a range of benefits from EXP, JP, PG and even items and some other stuff. You can see how specials can be available to use by the specifics they require when editing them. If you wield two different weapon types, you can unleash 2 different Special trees.

So.. question. I'm getting to the point where some of my jobs are level 9 now and the "tnl" is like 3500 jp... that is a massive jump, so... I take it I should ignore it for now and focus on other lower level jobs until I get to the point where I'm getting decent jp? Right now (just finishing up Chapter 2), I'm getting like 20-30 jp per fight generally.

How about for chapter 4? I'm currently grinding right before a boss battle in the story dungeon since there's a convenient means of free hp/mp recharge nearby. I'm sure there's somewhere with better JP though.

Wow friend summons seem to be overpowered early on. Wrecked the first boss in two hits with Xia and Prinny as summon attacks lol. I guess it'll even out later on?

I switched it up. You can mix up the passive abilities from other jobs even if you dont really use their stuff in battle.

If you're in the dungeon with the free recharge, I think you are in the best place, especially since you can easily level up magic users.

I love the animation you get on the touchscreen when you get a pass.

I finished my exam so I can finally play a bit again. Is there an easy way to make money?

 

[JLeack]

I really like this game but its flaws are starting to become more noticeable as times goes on. I'm 24 hours into the experience, by the way.

1. Duct tape that mouth, Agnes - Good god. Every time she talks I hit the skip button. CRINGE.

2. Repetition.com - You go into a dungeon, navigate through cooridors, open a few optional treasure chests, see a guy in a red robe, fight a boss. Do that 30 times and you've completed the game.

3. Story? What story - Like, I don't even give a poodle's tail what's happened in the story thus far. Edea's banter and the sexy chicks are the only saving grace.

That said, I am captivated by the score and have enjoyed the combat. Overall I'd say it's in 8.5/10 territory, which is roughly what its Metacritic score is.

Back to skipping Agnes' mountains of annoying dialog.

 

[Squall ASF]

Oh ok, I thought perhaps the side quest dungeon nearby would be better but don't have access to it yet. I'm not even bothering with magic since they kill just as fast with weapons ha Funny you mention that though as I just put the ladies back on their old W and B mage jobs. Time to max those out. I wish the final B Mage skill was the W Mage's instead though..

 

[SoraanTribal]

Yeah, that's probably what I'm gonna do unless the next area starts giving a lot more JP, lol.

unless you really like the class or want a later skill, I'd just switch to a later class.

I'm planning on getting thief to level 9 and stopping as that's when I get the skill I really want for my dagger users. Which I probably won't use until I get the ninja.

I really want the Thief skill that lets you steal two things at once, but that's like level 11... It'd take way too long to unlock at where I am in the game currently, lol. So I might as well wait until I'm getting a decent amount of jp per battle.

I don't know about this game. I really loved the demo. Bought it and finished the first chapter and I sort of hate it. The character models look terrible, the writing is bland, the way the story is presented through lots of dialogue with bad backgrounds, repetitive music, and pay to play elements in it... I'm just not sure. Dungeons are terrible, most environments are terrible too. As a matter of fact, I'm not going to play this game anymore.

I hear you brotha. The story is the worst I've experienced in an RPG in a while. Granted, I haven't really played an RPG in a while.

The models definitely are not favorable. It's hard to me envision what the characters would look like in real life.

But man, I can't believe you said the soundtrack is repetitive. The soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal IMO. It evokes emotion, and that's the best thing music can do.

Hmm, I'm starting Chapter 3 now actually. I might see how it goes, but even with 100 JP a turn, that'd take quite a while (especially if there's another big jump after 3500 lol).
