Quests are under the travelogue

where's the ghost NM at? I might try the axolotl NM again but that 52k health thing was a bit doozy... and I kept missing a shitload

Current quests

But since quest are numbered and you get exemple

quest 1-2-5 you'd miss 3-4 without knowing

[Ratatapa]

yay for being underdog at lv 9 in savalon

Guess its time to grind a bit

[Ratatapa]

Any tips for

Spoiler: show

Anihal?

Im lv 13-14
Seth Vanguard (10) + Freelancer (8)
Gloria WHM (10) + Bard (5)
Elvis BLM 11 + WHM (1)
Adelle MNK 10-11 + Vanguard 1

Even tho I try to default at start all the adds kinda wreck me as they first seem to all attack before I get a turn and they still hurt a lot on default

[Julian]

Don't have any specific tips as I don't remember much of the fight and had no issues, but my setup was similar:

Vanguard/Freelancer
WHM/BLM
WHM/BLM
MNK/Freelancer

Idr if I had the two mages blow up adds with spells? But having two mages able to nuke and cura was definitely helpful throughout ch1.

[Prothescar]

Kill all the adds and drain her MP. Getting Aspir Strike for your main physical DPS will be enough to knock her down. Disables a lot of her counters. Your Monk should be strong enough to 1tko any of the adds that you want (take out the lizard ones first). If you don't have her set up with Bare Handed Brawler then fix that, cause that will be much more dmg than any weapons you have at that level.

[Koul]

counters and immunes really makes shit annoying and unfun as fuck. Had to start over cuz this fairy fuck was immune to all my weapons/magic and I didn't have anything to switch to and she kept spamming white wind healing for like 9k so I couldn't nuke the main boss down.

[Ratatapa]

Are monster tamed by a party member available to another one?
Or they got their own “list”

[Julian]

Captured stuff is shared

[Tyrath]

So now that its been out a bit. How is the game? More or less what I should expect after Bravely 1? I have so many games going on right now but thinking about picking this up

[Julian]

I haven't played much this last week and am still at the start of Ch2, so can't speak much for the story, but my impression is that this is basically just another Bravely entry.

Graphics aren't that improved (or at least don't feel like it) over the previous games, despite the jump from 3ds to switch. But who is playing this for graphics?
Gameplay is more of the same with new and adjusted jobs. If it was fun before, it's still fun now. (There's some annoying counter mechanics, which can give you trouble on some bosses, but nothing a party comp adjustment wont fix)
Can't speak much for the story.

[Scythiroth]

After completely finishing the game, the story might be the weakest part for me. It's fine, but that's about it.

I did really enjoy all the jobs and combat and stuff though and overall I'd recommend this to anyone that liked the other games.

But yeah, bosses start gaining counters that give them BP for any ability you perform and it lets them be a bit crazy with spamming and killing your party if you aren't careful. You can get quite overpowered though with certain job and cross class skill combinations to work around that though I guess.

[Tyrath]

Think my only complaint so far is how easy the game is. Even on hard mode I haven't felt hard pressed yet and I'm well into ch2. Guess I spent too much time farming NMs

So far I've been trying to max out Freelancer on people for that sweet sweet JP UP so it definitely hasn't been too easy for me.

Beastmaster fight was wrecking me and I had to item spam

[Tyrath]

This card game isn't triple triad good, but it's damn good.

[Tyrath]

Just finished ch1

Spoiler: show

So far both of my guest characters have died. I fear for whoever joins me as guest next XD

[Prothescar]

2nd one deserved it

[Ratatapa]

I like the game but the fights are annoying

In the sewers in Ch2 and fucking mob always counter either physical with stupid effects or counter healing, or does stupid move like 50% HP and etc

Or you get like a fight with 7 mobs and they take forever to kill

[Julian]

Just wrapped up ch2 I think (still doing all the quests I found that I missed (or just opened idk), I assume this is the end of ch2)

Spoiler: show

That painter chick was annoying. Counter white and black was dumb. Luckily Elvis mastered both white and black and was on red, so he did some good healing from there. Bard SP is pretty good, helped me clear these last two asterisk fights with some sweet burst damage.

Not really sure what OP combos are available yet, everything feels kinda... eh? Maybe I'm just underleveled. Most mobs in the last dungeon were red and I was just not in the mood to fight them.

Also, do all mobs (or most at least) have buns as rare drops? As soon as I got the +rare drop from Gambler I've been getting a steady flow of buns from battle. Guess I should level gambler on everyone.

[AoE]

Within the first 4 cutscenes of the game and just spent 4 hours maxing out the starting class to get the JP Plus abilities. Lol

[Tyrath]

I didn't go as ham as you but I worked those first too.

Just did characters by 2 so I had BLM and WHM either as main or sub the whole time so I could move along with the story. In ch2 and the second set of characters are almost there.
