Bravely Default: For the Sequel – Full Free Play Edition

[Doombear]

Since they got this back in stock at Amazon today, and mine was tore to shit, I just set up a replacement to be sent. May want to jump on that Xopher if you care enough. I mean they have the stock now so may as well.

I got a pretty rad customer service guy that completely understood how effed it was to get a CE with a tore up box. New one incoming, supposedly shipping in a box this time.

Yeah, got the replacement today. This time shipped Fedex. Bubble mailer again, after saying they would ship it in a box and it is damaged even more more than the first one... Why you so mean Amazon? Now totally out of stock except for $99.99 resellers.

So you've gotten 2 CEs shipped to you, and my order hasn't even been processed yet. Nice.

long post

Won't lie, that sounds entertaining as hell. I've been mostly chuckling that I can auto battle thru basically every boss fight aside from Chaugmar and the dragons for vampire chain (though these can be soloed by a ninja with Turn Tables so lol)

Yeah, there are many layers of fuckery over at Amazon regarding this CE. I truly am sorry warc. For people in your situation that haven't even seen theirs ship at all, and for a couple others I have seen elsewhere that had theirs canceled with no reason, a replacement set up and then that canceled too (oh but they got a $24 credit...yay). It sucks. I have had zero problems in 4 years of Prime. Guess that wasn't gonna last forever. I really hope yours gets sorted. They haven't canceled it right? Good. I am sending my replacement back, so maybe you will get it...

Shit, didn't even think of stealing from the bosses. I wonder if I missed out on anything worthwhile... (I'm up to the Summoner now; just killed that boss)

Spoiler: show

Also, did a double take/wtf when those girls killed each other.

[Krandor]

Most of the time you're stealing an item that relates to whatever job the boss is. I don't think it's ever anything super important though, and I'm pretty sure all of them are purchasable.

[Karbuncle]

Its a good way to get a weapon or piece of armor thats 1-2 towns ahead of you, a short boost in power. For instance, SpellFencer dude has a Scimitar, which isn't available until you reach Flowertown.

[Koul]

ninja bitch was a bitch. sidequest was amusing though. very Clue of them lol I love the personality of all the job bosses in this game. put together so well.

[Krandor]

Storyline kind of takes an epic nosedive after chapter 4. I love that the characters are walking into situations they've already been in, yet are somehow surprised when the exact same thing happens.

Yeah, that was the moment when I knew this was not gonna be a happy game..

[Cream Soda]

Well shit; just jumped into my first (summon) battle after unlocking smn; didn't know what it was talking to the NPC. Had been enough time in that cave to get 5 job levels (3-8) on my RNG lol and got 1shotted back into my previous save. And I've been over-leveled for everything else; taking out every other boss after getting Angel Bow in 2 turns or less to this point.

[Hioki]

So finally beat the game. Decided to go look up other strategies that other people used. Almost feel like I missed out on some awesome things I might have to pick up in a hard mode run.

Must get hasten world and Stillness. Stillness is better than utsusemi since you are most literally invincible for 2 rounds from both physical and magical damage. Hasten world is used to clean the gap so you can always 4 brave from start to finish without any worries. This of course opens up tons of class options to play with.
Totally missed out on the phoenix flight and minus strike combo as well. Since you're invincible every round you can have high hp characters sit at 1 hp and then minus strike bosses down for 9999.

Avert your gaze, Tiz!
You aren't ready!
It's too much temptation!

What level are you? I just got Summoner and Ranger myself, am level 22, Hard Mode, and yeah.. I started to use Angel Bows now on like three people. They're too stronk.

[Cream Soda]

Damn I'm way over-leveled. I'm mid 40's; I leveled up a shitton farming enough pg to buy some of the shit I unlocked (one of the weps is like 40k pg; shit's ridic)

You can turn off whether you get JP, exp and money btw. Though I haven't needed to turn that off because I wanted somewhat of a challenge (and oh god do I have one since I'm pretty underleveled lol) but yeah. You can turn off XP if you wanna like..farm money and JP.

[Cream Soda]

Yea I figured it out... eventually.

Also, I updated my send data (didn't know how rly) so you shouldn't have the lv 10 generic Tiz anymore. If any of you all are in a bind, you'll have my RNG use the crit+400% bow special

[Insanecyclone]

Game crashed me on during the level 20 nemesis fight for Belphegor.

Yah, I just finised the Fire crystal area, and I'm level ~55 or so, because i spent like, an hour on Normal mode+100% Encounter farming a buttload of JP in the Mythril Mines (74 JP/kill with Unscathed Ace)...

regarding a job asterisk.

But the Blademaster was still f**king stupid hard to kill, seriously, he had somewhat of a pattern but if you attacked him on a turn he used "Nothing Ventured" you're f**king dead, period..

I believe I waited until he was using all his abilities and then I used whatever that move was that would take away BP to make him -2 so that way that following turn I could run a train on him. He was no problem at all once you crippled him like that.
