Bravely Default

So there's a lot of us who own this game and goddamn if it isn't clogging the shit out of the Skype chats. So voila.

Bravely Default, for the uninitatied is a highly addictive JRPG released on the 3DS by Square Enix. It's been praised by many as something of a return to classic turn based RPGs and both the job system and Brave/Default battle system add customisation and strategy to a very challenging and rewarding experience.

How are you finding the game? Need any pointers? What's your current setup? Is that one optional boss giving you a headache? Share your experiences and shiz here.

This game is a lot of fun and I like to play it in little bursts. I just started chapter 2 and am grinding a little bit so I don't get destroyed by the randoms.

Current setup is Knight/White Mage Tiz, Time/Black Mage Agnés, Theif/Knight Edea, Spell Fencer/Black Mage Ringabel. I'm sort of in a state of Class Flux at the moment until I get something else to fill my gaps.

I think I just got out of Chapter 3, and am doing some major job grinding. WM/Salve Maker Agnes, BM/Freelancer Ringabel, Pirate Tiz, and Edea who's gonna be a Spell Fencer/Swordsmaster

I'm doing it wrong, but whatever <3

Almost all of them mrhgrgrgrgrgr

Seriously tho, I read Skype earlier to see Uhhhhh'd finished the sidequest I'm currently on after like an hour or two. Then again, I'm not really exploiting Ninja's lolautododge attack.

Right now, I'm in chapter one and am training up for fighting the Dragon boss in the wind temple.

I did have a theory but it seems like it got debunked by plot already.
Spoiler: show
It dealt with the identities of the vestals. I thought that the main cast would have been a vestal each one with a different element. I even had a formula down for which one was which.

We already know that Agnes is the vestal of wind.
Ringabel, go with flow type and calm in all forms of dangers it seems would've made a good Water Vestal.
Edea, angry often and have a pure determined heart, would've been the Fire Vestal.
and finally
Tiz, down to earth and a very stable (if not bright) guy. You guessed it, I thought he'd be the Earth Vestal.


My current team is as follows: Knight/Freelancer Tiz, Black/White Mage Agnes, Thief/Freelancer/Knight Edea, and Merchant/Monk Ringabel.

I never really grinded much in my current playthrough. I think this has proved you sorta have to because (as people on skype may already know) most of the bosses have required me to have multiple attempts, but others have beaten them in like one try. Mephilia and DeRosso come to mind.

I was gonna double post anyways. :P
Update!
Post Chapter 1 Spoilers:
Spoiler: show

Alright, so I finally gotten around to exploring the Great Mill, or whatever it was called. And I got up to the Time Mage and Spellfencer boss fight.
It was the easiest time I had against a boss yet. Although, I had a lot of setup before hand, so maybe that's why? So I changed Knight Tiz into a Spellfencer and for now Monk Ringabel into a Time Mage. I will probably change him back into a Monk after a few levels tho and then give Gray Mage Agnes some time with it.

Now we're back on the ship and I learned that Alternis is a Dark Knight...I NEEDZ THAT CLASS TO LOOK SO BADASS NOW.

Chapter 1, just met Ringabel's soul brother up in Yulyana. Game is pretty fantastic so far. I'm playing on Hard with 150% encounter rates. Set random battles to 4x speed and most of my characters are level 25.

WM/BM Tiz, BM/WM Agnes, Theif/Monk Ringabel, Knight Edea for now. Ringabel basically clears everything short of bosses completely on his own with Bastet Claws equipped. Probably finding the early game much much easier since I imported 20 villagers in from the demo. :3

I'm in the middle of Chapter 5, unlocked one of the endings a while ago and I am just cheesing through the many, many bosses here right now. Everyone has the Jobs unlocked at that point at at least Lv. 9 so... yeah.

If anyone reading this topic is still on the fence about this game, here's a really solid review by ProJared.

So I'm still struggling with DeRosso.
I was doing well this time around - had my specials chained up on the ying yang, Edea was Critting for around 8000+ damage a turn, Tiz was keeping his stats down, and Ringabel + Agnes were doing their own thing.
Then he exploded everyone. Everyone except Agnes.
Luckily he was still slowed, so I frantically kept healing until Rejuvenation became active, tanking everything due to her impressive Magic Defence and Angellic Ward, because I had built it to cure KO so it would resurrect the entire team. And I survived long enough to use it!
Derosso one shot her with a basic attack at that point. And then I remembered Bravely Second was a thing.

All of my Rage.

edit: IT IS DONE
I KILLED THE MOFO
FINALLY
URGH
All it took was realising that that freaking Energy Burst attack was Physical Based - and Special Chaining to buff up the party as much as possible.
Now, I watch as everyone (except, but of course, Ringabel) gains 999JP. Was this worth it? Pretty much.

Do you prefer Tactic games or more traditional menu based RPs?
FE:Awakening for the former, BD for the latter
But I say get both.

I know I've played BD too long when I read that in their voices.
And it was even more glorious to do so. Ringabel throws money like UPN throws Babies.

Oh hey we're posting current parties?

Spoiler: show
Tiz: Level 84 Dark Knight with Spell Fencer subskills.
Edea: Level 84 Dark Knight with Spell Fencer subskills.
Angés: Level 84 Templar with White Mage subskills.
Ringabel: Level 84 Dark Knight with Spell Fencer subskils.

Basically Dark Knight with Spell Fencer subskills is ridiculous for damage output.
