Two options come to mind besides using the red mage skill directly.
(job/strategy spoilers)
Performer can be used to give BP via "one more for you" or whatever it is. Have whatever character is useless to you just do this three times.
Plan B and what got me through the game is to use the spiritmaster stillness ability. What you can then do is cast stillness, default while the enemy loses their BP and then unleash. Then cast stillness again and repeat. If you have a good pirate going, you should be able to take down most anything after a few cycles of 4x9999.
The only thing that can mess that up is status ailments, but that is where BP recover comes in...which of course gets you even more BP.

Does growth egg affect the whole party?
Ch. 4 now - Suddenly farming/grinding makes more sense. I guess I should turn off XP gain for a while and focus on the bling-bling

Edea is currently a Spell Fencer with Knight sub-job. She is equipped with a Bloody Shield, which seems to push her defence so high, she only takes 1 damage. She also has a Red Muleta accessory, which increases the chance enemies will attack her instead of the others. The Firewall support ability makes this hilarious, as enemies attack her, and are then promptly toasted by Firewall.
I'm trying to squeeze another mage in here somewhere, but I am just using Agnes as a Time/Black mage. I keep feeling I should have White Mage somewhere here, but I just can't find a good reason for someone to main it. Healing items are plentiful, despite me never actually buying a single one, and I have the Blessed Shield, which has the Cura effect.
One thing that is frustrating for me so far, is that status effects seem pointless. The non-elemental Sword Fencer abilities, and mage spells such as poison and stop are not worth casting, when I could just brave and kill the enemies. I am not overpowered and often come close to getting KO'd even in random battles, but I can still wipe out all of the enemies in two rounds. When fighting bosses, where status would actually be useful, the enemy is always immune.

My town is all but maxed out and I'm still on Chapter 1. I need to find more time to actually "play" this game.

This is such hyperbole based on the 20 hours ibe put in.
The story is basic but the dialogue is decent (voice actong is hit and miss)
The important thing is that is not really offensive. I dunno. It doesnt enthrall me but it definitely doesn't bother me.
That said itz low on the list of reasons I love this damn game. Criticisms I read on hete before I played it are really overstated
This game is fantastic. Cant put it down and I love thr complex and customizable battle system.
It looks like I will have mine maxed even faster than I predicted a day or two ago. By tonight, I will have everything at least level 10, and with the number of villagers I have (even without using the demo to boost) I can get them to 11 within 24 hours. I've only actually shut down the game once since buying it, and that was to clear out my streetpass plaza.

They come good later on with a support job. But for now, consider your special attacks and the properties they can have.

Question: once you restore Norende, can you visit it as an actual town on the world map?
Question on Chapter 3
Any suggestions?
Fire temple boss - I understand the main mechanics of defaulting until transform, but im having a hard time surviving his energy explosion. I've made it thru a few cycles, but I guess the RNG just gets me sometimes and 3 out of 4 will die, or my healer, which takes longer to recover from and then eventually i wipe. I'm level 44 which I thought would be on the high side for this content so I'm wondering if I should be stacking some sort of resistance gear or abilities? I know to attack with lightning, so I have my 3 attackers all spell fencer sub-class using thundara before attacking, and agnes is a white mage/salve maker
Any suggestions?

It's physical- use high defence equipment or PDEF boosters.

Just wait til chapter 4 instead, when the trash mobs drop 2 or 3 thousand pg for no reason
You might try salve maker there /hint.
yeah, only need one.
Thanks this did the trick.

this has never made sense to me.. Lighting is far from the worst Damn I guess Star Ocean 4's cast was sooooo bad everyone just forgot about them :/

she may not be the worst purely by her in-game appearances (at least FFXIII), but everyone is fucking sick of her by now
Amazon rankings cause lol:
Bravely Default-15th
FFXIII: LR-69th (PS3)
also bonus UK rankings (keep in mind FFXIII: LR released on 2/14 instead of 2/11 in Europe):
FFXIII: LR-20th (PS3), 54th (360)
Bravely Default-78th (still? it's been two months!)
Id say she's up there with them, she would fit perfectly in SO4.

Bravely Default is doing better on Amazon.fr
FFXIII: LR-1st (PS3)
Bravely Default-9th (yep, 2 months)
FFXIII: LR-21st (360)
France is one of the better EU countries. Bless them.

I agree 100% I'm not even going to buy lighting returns... just some things in the game that puts me off real bad.. I fucking LOOOVED FF13 though,( The battle system, the music, the HD'ness.. everything, just totally clicked with me. The game being really linear didn't bother me either...) I always compared that with FF X it was linear also but didn't get near or no shit for it. :/ 13-2 was ok but got old near the end... plus the dlc really pissed me off and was one of many of the things I fucking LOVED about FF13. I'm most definitely ready for a new universe for an FF game but sadly FF15 is taking near 20 fucking years to come out.
LULZ not even close... but like I said I loved ff13... FF12 being my favorite RPG/FF I'd say Ashe is my favorite female lead... ff12 fo lif
On BD just started chapter 3... 38 hours in level 52 these enemies on this island are way harder... man I can't wait for ninja... had to change my set up.. I had all merchant's

Well I finished it. It's pretty good game that's the shell of a great game. It feels rushed and even low budget, like they ran out of time and money and had to scrap something together to put out a finished product. It doesn't help that the writing isn't particularly strong. The story is full of plot holes, it's twists are very poorly executed, and half the dialogue in the game is just boring. But the gameplay remained mostly compelling, and even though it's easy to break the game, I enjoyed doing that. Except the part where I had to
fight the same bosses over and over and over and over and over again.
what other thread? pls show me, troll master :3

gotcha.
shiet I feel like an outlier for not having similar sentiments with everyone here. It's probably because I'm super forgiving when it comes to RPGs. I didn't find Agnes or her voice horrible, I loved the skits, the story was decent and kept me engaged, the latter half of the game is a bit long yeah but I enjoyed myself.

Does the game really take a tumble after Ch2?
So many different opinions on here

Chapter 3 is pretty dull. There's a bunch of annoying fetch quests and Egil, who turns every scene into a bore. Some of this can be remedied by skipping story scenes.

yeah, fuck Egil

Just create your own opinion after playing the chapter, listening to haters and lovers alike takes you nowhere.
I felt the game was pretty great until you reach Chapter 5 and that really depends on your patience to be honest. Some people got fed up quickly and some people enjoyed it.
I believe it's a good game and I think the sequel ought to be better now that the first title has succeeded and that they will probably enjoy a bigger budget.
Gameplay is ace because of the job system and it let me forget about the other flaws.
