What mob do you steal it from?

Well, I've apparently found my first "wall" of the game. Early Chapter 2 sidequest:
That goddamned
I don't think that I'm just woefully underleveled since everything else has been manageable up to this point, but I'm at a loss as to how to rearrange my party in such a way that her primary attack doesn't just cripple me. Even worse is that I go into this fight now knowing that
Guh.
That goddamned
summoner fight. Her summoning Giratinablublu or whatever it's called takes off like 85-100% of my characters' max HP if they aren't defaulting, which sets me scrambling to heal back up before she does it again. Throw in the summoned soldiers who have some strong attacks in their own right and can inflict confuse, and there's just no way to recover aside from burning a special attack heal.

summoning has no BP cost, so technically she could just brave-summon twice at the very beginning of the fight and auto-win, or summon Giratina on every turn, but the AI just opts not to. The game is trolling the shit out of me.
Just about every mob there on the world map.

TBH, I've used high-powered friend summons to take out foes who are giving me trouble. You want to talk about a pain the ass,
how about the ranger side quest? Ugh.

The stats for equipment in this game, is throwing me off. Whatever is said in the status screen kinds of contradict the actual stat bonuses. Take the first shop of the game in Caldisla. Leather Armor and Linen Cuirass. 4 PD and 1 MD for both of them...and yet the Linen Cuirass offer a higher Magic Defense bonus than the Armor with the same MD 1.
Shit drives me crazy.
Also...how viable is Red Mage in the endgame? I just love Edea's look with it and I don't want to switch her out of that, as her main.

that's gotta be due to the different armor ranking, they affect the multiplier
S=2.0, A=1.8 (anything without a letter is A), B=1.6, C=1.4, D=1.2, E=1.0
It learns up to lvl 4 magic. So nope. If it learnt lvl 5 magic it might still be useful.

You shouldn't be worrying about endgame builds yet. Use the classes that are useful to you at the moment, JP gains per battle increase so dramatically later on that there's no point in worrying about leveling classes for use in the future. But later on, Red Mage is more useful for the support abilities it learns than its basic skillset.
I'm really enjoying the
class. I have it on Agnes. I think I like it better than white mage, since they basically have a free cura every turn.
But man is the Ninja sub quest long. I was trying to get it done before work, but they talked so much (I don't skip cutscenes).

Whatever move you want to send, you select summon friend and then send. It'll send the damage of whatever the first move is that you do.
Perfect, thanks

Just got this class too. After making an ether that healed me to 100% MP/HP, I think I will be falling in love with this class

Amen.
kinda wish I didn't end up being OP so I could experiment with all the classes. I just cheesed everything and I couldn't help myself ;_;
The instances where I could have used that Salvemaker compound that doubles max HP, well I never had a chance to do that stuff.
How did you cheese things? Hasten World + High Jump? Don't think I could ever do that myself.
Salve-Maker can also force weaknesses on bosses, makes them mincemeat for my Pirate/Spell Fencer. Salve-Maker why you so good?
This game's class system is great.
Yeah, I'm at the end of chapter 3 and I'm just really losing any drive to continue. There isn't a single character who isn't annoying as fuck, the cutscenes are so unnecessarily long and and incredibly cheesy - which I didn't think I'd care about, but I REALLY hate these characters. I'm almost to the point where I'm going to just skip all the cutscenes, and just get all the jobs and then run around battling and mastering them all.
It's a shame because I was really looking forward to this game, and it really could have been so much better.
I made it to Chapter 5 and the first boss killed me in one turn. I guess I need to level some more jobs for abilities and get some better gear.
Do the subquests in Chapter 5 disappear or are they available the rest of the game? I want to do them all, but I don't know if I want to do them all in one chapter.

They will disappear once you finish the chapter.
That sucks. :/
I almost forgot. I'm missing one job. Am I supposed to be missing one at this point or did I miss a subquest somewhere?

Just some terribly misplaced JP grinding before I knew of the better strategies on here.Of course now I have the growth egg so rip difficulty.
If it wasnt for someone on my friendlist who had an awesome combo(thanks Lamario)I would of failed that Thief Boss fight...damn,I didnt skip any fights and that was a close one(and the one after(sort of a sidequest,blue marker)..I have to try and do some combos like that to send to friends...that opened a job I bet not a lot of people use lol

So I got a question about an apparent side quest in chapter 2.
Spoilers ahoy!
I've already
and headed back to Florem. I also did the quest where I received the
job, but there's still a blue exclamation that is seemingly on top of Florem, but I can't find anything in the town, there's no blue exclamation when I'm inside of florem.
Edit: Nevermind, had to be in town at night! It's a quest involving Ringabel and how he might become a better
I love Ringabel, lol. He's leading the party and is in the
job so we can be strolling around in style. Before this quest is over, Ringabel is going have Agnes and Edea at the same time, I just know it.

Man these Nemeses rec levels are misleading. Fucking Belphegor.
Im a little into chapter 2 and i havent changed job classes except from the initial freelance. Currently i have
Agnes Black Mage
Tiz White Mage
Ringabell Monk (im digging this class)
Edea Knight
Everyone about lv 26. Should i start swapping classes out or stick it out for now? And if so what are some recommended classes to level up early?
