Bravely Default: For the Sequel – Full Free Play Edition

[warc]

Anyone know what controls Big Pharma's heal potency? Currently can only get a 490 heal so it limits my gil/hr a bit.

edit: equipping Commerce on a Salve-maker doubles healing potency.. Also seems to be affected by mnd.

[Cream Soda]

heal lore and holy one if you have them; had my big pharmas doing over 3k

Also, I did it as a mage job for higher MND; equipped heal lore and holy one (or maybe I was on salve maker and just equipped holy one and speed up; to make sure they were healing at the start of each attack round by going first)

Finally sent out a 999,999 dmg attack.

Feelsgood

[Wulfgang]

So I just started not long ago and I am getting the shit kicked out of me by the dragon in the Vestments Cave at LV 17. Running THF, WHM, MNK, Knight; even with protect, the mow + single target combo effectively kills my WHM instantly. Thinking of just killing mobs for a bit and trying to hit 18 or 19.

Also, is there an ideal strat for building your town? I just did Armor shop to LV 2 and am trying to clear a boulder to make it over to the weapon shop.

i put down BD for a while after struggling with an Eternian Command battle in Chp8 but finally got around to finishing it

final final truly final correct ending spoilers

Spoiler: show

I fucking love how they tied in the friend summoning shit. I saw Mina's world get exploded, then Ardrial and Captain Owen; Agito's world was the one to first break the chains and then Tearshang 2stronk then Chibi/Steveon's world. I also like the fact the characters show you the jobs the party had last net-invite sync thing. Fucking Summoner, Vampire, Swordmaster, Peformer !? What were you thinking, bro?

at first i was mad cuz the ending seemed the same as "bad" then all the small changes and then the final scene

Spoiler: show

fucking ba'al buster made me snicker like an idiot though hearing a guy scream BRAVELY SECOND BRAVE BRAVE BRAVE DEFAULT! was kinda killin my immersion but wtg

Spoiler: show

There were a few notable differences, but the one which stuck out to me was that Ringabel seemed to take a time warp back to his original world to correct his inaction during Airy's big reveal. Did he knock out his original self and toss him overboard to ensure the timeline wasn't altered? Was this just an alternate world period? I can see how it would give him closure / a chance at redemption but it raises a lot more questions than it answers.

[Tomiko]

Added new people, but Yukari's FC is invalid.

Edit: What's the best way to make money early on? I'm still on Chapter 1. :<

[Stromgarde]

I wouldn't bother grinding for money until you get merchant. Once you get merchant, you can get the More Money support ability as well as the game-breaking Big Pharma (Rank 11). If you're lucky enough to snag the Mammon nemesis via updating, you can also sell the elixirs she carries for a hefty amount assuming you can survive long enough to run away.

[Koul]

badass live music from the game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLpBeNWRbRo - tiz battle theme, mah fav.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_ao_JgbJQU - edeas battle theme. bunch more too. so goood

[Fievel]

Finished this last night..

Spoiler: show

Overall I was disappointed to be honest, I thought chapters 1-4 were great but hated 5-8. The last boss was pretty amazing though, destroying friends worlds was unexpected lol

I felt like the story was lazy though, I hope bravely second is better. Gameplay was on point though, loved that shit.

Also, just so I'm clear, Tiz died at the start of the game in the chasm and was being kept alive by Airy's sister, right?

[Cream Soda]

I tried out something new in ch 7 and 8 since VERY MINOR SPOILERS (none to the story at all; just about the fights in general)

Spoiler: show

Boss fights have you at 3-4 enemies at a time)

Mnk/Vamp
-Natty Talent
-P. Dmg + 10%
-Speed + 20% (Needed for my particular group for turn order)
-Monster Ability Up

I spend the first round absorbing attack/magic attack from enemies to reduce damage taken (especially since not wearing any armor)

After that; highest overall damage I could personally come up with.

Firestorm x4 on 4 enemies = 159,984/round; Once every 4-5 rounds, you'll need to replace one Firestorm with a magic thirst though.

Then I keep a Ninja for single target phys dmg to focus on taking a particular enemy out first (7,000-9,999 depending on buffs x2 per round for 3 rounds (Ikik takes up a round) = 42,000-59,994 dmg/turn on a single target



9999 x6 isn't that much more dmg over 9999 x4 when it comes to a single target really, but nin is also useful for utility when things get hairy, I'll use it to make sure my tank is the target for those rounds, and I have support abilities to compounding, so I can aid in items (whether it be Giant Drafts for double HP, resurrections, or general healing items)

My general strat has me at 3 BP/turn on every char, so the Ikik attack x3 and Firestorm x4 are generally an every turn thing

How I've felt about ch.5-7 thus far:

Spoiler: show

Also, Ringabel and Balthier need their own spinoff game.

[Kirin]

But who would be the leading man?

[Tomiko]

If you're lucky enough to snag the Mammon nemesis via updating, you can also sell the elixirs she carries for a hefty amount assuming you can survive long enough to run away.

Sounds good, thanks. I've been unlocking a lot of the town stuff so I was hoping to buy some of the weapons I've unlocked like Lu Bu's Polearm. And I checked my town and I do have Mammon (lv 25).

[Kirin]

Just got to Chapter 5 and decided to grind some job levels up. I looked over at my normal levels after about an hour or so and was like 90. Whoops.

So one tiny thing I had wished they did:

Spoiler: show

Alter Ringabel's voice to Alternis's if he was on the Dark Knight job. Would have been a nice touch.

Spoiler: show

Like, why the fuck was there another Airy lol?
But yeah, up until about that point there were few differences. I also don't remember Agnes awakening(?) the Wind Crystal

A bit more detail on Mammon: 'Protect' and set her to 'Send' status as soon as you can. Don't kill her, but once you get Thief use it to steal the elixirs (or use the Thief Knife as an item to mug), run away and then Merchant 'Salesman' ability to sell it to another mob for 2.4x what a store would pay.

[Prothescar]

I've yet to get a Mammon sent to my Norende. Have gotten tons of the other ones, but can't get Blizzaja for fuck all.
