Ringabel is the best of my characters (besides having the best in-game personality anyways ;o). Thundara'd Godspeed Strike was the reason the Red Mage / Valkyrie fights were relatively painless.
Well I mean I had to Bravely Second DeRosa but still. |

I had no trouble with the Valkyrie fight because of Godspeed + Tiz just taking 1 damage per hit...even with Jump.
The RM is a completely different story. During my first fight with him, he somehow stole Regen off of me and healed 600 points a turn, making it just a really hard fight...one that I lost. However, the second time I had a much easier time. I had Tiz with Mage Armor and cast Thundera on the weapon, meaning that his electric attacks were useless, then there's also my BM/WM Agnes who cast Withering Ripple on the poor guy...and gave him a Thunder Weakness as a result. Needless to say, my second time through was a lot easier. The Water Temple Boss fight would've gotten a lot more smoothly...if Ringabel could hold out for longer than 1 turn. I nearly lost all my Phoenix Downs because of that guy (didn't have RM Magic Level 3 at the time, so yeah...) all in all though, I did relatively well. It's easy to say that Tiz is my best character. It is hard to strike him down, almost no physical attacks get through to him...almost. I'm currently in the western continent, and I saw the next group that I need to take on. My current team: Spoiler: show |

Your experience with Tiz just baffles me. He's the only one in the party that I have no idea how to build. Trying him out as RM/TM right now. Hoping things'll fall into place later on. :/

I just started this game myself. I'm just far enough to get a taste of the combat, and to change the audio (thank god for dual audio!). Also it's nice I can change the encounter rate. One of the worst things about classic JRPGs is the obnoxious encounter rates.
It seems the Brave/Default system is similar to the turn switching system in Radiant Historia. It can also make random encounters less annoying. Just pile in braves on the first turn and unleash a hellish fury of attacks on that annoying monster! |

I just beat two optional bosses in chapter 1, so I guess I can make a status thingy.
So far, the game isn't bad. How everyone came together is really forced. They could have spent more time thinking that out. I'm not sure what to think about the story yet, since I'm not very far. Maybe it'll pull something to make me think it's more than ordinary? Gameplay wise, it's like the FF3 remake, but less tedious and with more features. I have grinded a bit, but nothing more than what I usually do in games like this. It's enough to keep me entertained, even if I haven't completely figured out what I want to do with my characters. Also I really like Edea's VA. I have been hearing her quite a bit lately, and it's a fun voice. For characters: Tiz - I made him a knight. He's going to be my bulky damage dealer. I will change him to something else later on, but I'll make him use knight-like classes like maybe a Paladin or Dark knight. Agnes - Black mage. I'll just make her my magic damage dealer. Though I would like to do something to make her more than just a generic damage dealer with magic. Ringabel - White mage. I might go for the white mage/summoner stereotype with him....maybe. I'm kind of tired of using that combination, so I might do something else with him. He'll be my support guy though. Edea - Thief. She'll be my secondary melee character, but less bulky. Not completely sure what to make her, but I might make her a ninja or someshit. |

Just got into Chapter 3. I can tell I've spent too much time grinding but it's so addicting. Gonna try and stop, turn the difficulty down to Normal or something and try to actually play the game xD.
Also enjoyed this image quite a bit. |

I've made it to chapter 3. I'm spending more time trying to think of what I want to do with my characters than anything. So far, Tiz is the only one I have completely figured out.
Storywise, nothing special is jumping out at me. Ringabel is annoying as piss though. I'm sick of that "I love the ladies" nonsense during EVERY DAMN CONVERSATION. Hell during (I wouldn't read until you hit chapter 3) Spoiler: show I'm waiting for a good spot to amass JP. Sadly level 9 is the most bearable level to level up to so far. Plans for my party I guess: Tiz: I'm making him a dark knight unless it sucks. Agnes: I made her a spellsword for a while, but I figured a valkyrie would be a nice choice for her. A triple melee gangbang sounds cool, and the valkyrie has a good design, so yeah. I'll probably keep spellsword skills as her secondary. Ringabel: His summoner spells are not doing it for me. I'll probably make bard a secondary and white magic a primary. It sucks the males don't get the hats the females do. I love the huge white mage hats, but only the females freaking have them. Edea: She has been pretty good as a theif, but I think a swordmaster would be cool. |

I'm at Chapter 4 currently.
Spoiler: show I figure that while I'm here, I might as well max out the Ranger class for Edea before moving on to the Ninja class, as well as polish off Monk for Ringabel and Spellfencer for Tiz. Current set up: Spellfencer/Swordmaster Tiz, Monk/Merchant Ringabel, Ranger/Thief Edea, and Summoner/Red Mage Agnes. |

My god I'm finally done with this effing game! It was alright for the first few chapters, but after chapter 5, this game becomes painful to play. The repetition is almost unbearable. I wanted to quit, but I decided to keep at it.
Most of my enjoyment from this game came from the job system. It was fun finding job combos to make up your party. Everything else on the other hand.....not so good. The endless 8 shit towards the end is unforgivable, and the story is a trainwreck. Actually the writers seem like they're treating the players like idiots at times. One thing that bugged me: (End game spoilers) Spoiler: show This game could have been alot better if it wasn't for the second half. |

I finally completed this Time Thieving hole of a game. So time for my own input.
EDIT: and I find out that I didn't yet. Quote:

I don't know whether to thank you for making me realise my folly, or to curse you for making me play this game even more.

I went around looking for art and found this(ADs might be NSFW if Danbooru still does ads). It's really cute and funny. They might have made Edea's regular skirt longer in the English release, because I never noticed the butt poking out thing.
I was so irritated at the game when I made last post that I forgot to mention that I did grow attached to the main cast. |

Right now I'm at Chapter 5
Spoiler: show I decided to take a bit of time to grind up levels and jobs. I'm at the point where I have almost everything unlocked and I'm mixing and maxing to find things I like. At this point in the game, I finally said good bye to Red Mage as Tiz's secondary skill and I'm considering if I should have a BM or not sense Spell Fencer covers offensive magic pretty well. |

Okay, so I finally beat Bravely Default
It is a really good game. There are a couple of finer details I really think that could be improved upon, but all in all it is a great game. My final team were as follows (their Abilities are right below each one) Spoiler: show |

Alright so since I imported BD and have it waiting for me back at ID, I figured to download Demo and amass those sweet freebies.
Basically not much, I finish the Game outside Norende, beat the Post-Demo Boss, got stuff. The second mid-boss was annoying, though, ugh the Armor. And then I see I only had 2 Norende Villagers and forgot to abuse the free-Villager Glitch. And so I start over, got 25 now and decided to just quit it since you can only transfer 20 anyway, grinding for second Mid-Boss/Valkyrie/Black Mage Perfection so I can grind up the other Jobs with the Chompers at the beach. Also um Team Serup I guess? Spoiler: show Ugh this is annoying to go through again but too addictive to stop. This is why I don't replay my FF Collection anymore. |

This game is great until about the halfway point and then quickly became the most monotonous, repetitive, and unsatisfying game I've ever played.
