That was nice. Thanks for sharing.

Yo. The Geist introduction scene was toooo real.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

So I played the demo for 20 minutes, decided I wanna buy the game.

Should I play the full demo first? How long is it? Is it a narrative prequel to the game? I know there are a few bonuses unlocked from the demo, how vital are they?

Just to warn you, if you haven't played default, literally the first thing that bravely second does is spoil all the major narrative points of that game in the cutscene immediately as you start the game.

 

[YankeeDonB]

Finally started this. Gameplay is even tighter, very happy to see

Spoiler

Edea

. Music has definitely taken a hit, and the world/dungeon retreads are a little meh. The new jobs are definitely a nice addition. Finally, the writing is fun too - quirky and light-hearted without going too far.

think of it as a part of the main game that's given away for free, I think everyone should play it for the extra story.

Any spoilers in this? just trying to be safe lol

a little bit i think? not main story related much, but when they're talking about puns & localizing etc. they mentioned npc names and various speech patterns/dialects that includes those from mid-game iinm

Yeah I noticed that. But that was perfect. I don't plan on playing the first game, so I like how they summed it up and jumped into the story right away

[JumpJeff84]

I've only been playing for an hour or so but I really like this. The art and graphics are appealing and I dig the battle system.

Haven't even obtained any offensive spells or messed with the job system yet, so I'm really looking forward to more

Any tips against the astrologer?

just hit chapter 3

so
is the second half uh

is it like BD where people said half but I did chapters 5-8 between lunch and dinner? Or no, being done with chapter 2 means I'm only a quarter way through?

(assuming it follows the same chapter format considering you get 1/2 jobs and theres blue chests )

I haven't finished the game yet,

Just got the to the chomper monigame lol. Fucking weird! I figured out if you do snack time within 3 seconds of a production you can get in two per snack time if that's not widely known.

 

[Wagram]

Twists everywhere in this game. I really can't figure out why some people prefer the originals story.

The story is executed better in BS, but I prefer the tone of BD over this game. Too many anime cliches and flanderization of Edea's eating obsession. BD is more reserved and there's a more urgent attitude to the story. The later half of BD is poorly executed, but the first half is still great.

Sorry. Been a while since that fight, so while I remember him hitting like a truck, I don't remember my strategy against him well. I think I used halfsies phoenix downs a lot though

Every time they're talking about the Ba'als, I feel like there's some tongue-in-cheek shenanigans by the game's localizers at work. "Ba'al busters?" "Ba'al skin?" Come on.

It's kind of become annoying, and I'm still just in Chapter 1. Once or twice and it would have been funny, but the Ba'al busting is just really in your face.

Played 8 hours of this game yesterday and I'm really enjoying it.

I'm probably about halfway into Chapter 2 and I'm trying to figure out how to make Catmancer usable. Tiz is doing fine using Fencer skills, but I want some of those sweet monster skills.

I haven't found a lot of use for Spellcraft, I find the base versions of the Wizard spells do enough work on their own.

Anybody playing on Hard? I played Default on Hard but kept this one on Normal for whatever reason.

Spellcraft is insane. If you use Dart, you'll be doing more damage overall. Mist allows you to get in more damage during turns, like if poison was applicable to every monster. Not only that, but you can apply those two to any spells and make them craftable. You'll thank me later when you can hit your team with a mist of health, constantly healing them per turn, or reviving them if you happen to come across a hard boss.

Ah, I haven't combined it with Healing (or Support) abilities yet, that seems to be where it will really shine. I'll have to try it out.

 

[obeythed1734]

While it creates a somewhat interesting dynamic I do find myself frustrated that you can't get all the jobs on a single run through instead needing to choose between two for most of them.

learn to love spellcraft. that thing is the best thing ever been made for magic spells in jrpg

don't worry too much about that

I get that it makes for some low-brow humor, but I don't understand why it's not pronounced "bale" like every other game that has appropriated the deity's name.

 

[PhilipDoesMatter]

Main question. Is there another sequence of those 5 to 8 chapters?

 

[Whizkid7]

Fighting on the shallow water in the first boat you get, and there's the Enemy Crab.

Heh. Okay, that's cute.

*Crab uses "Massive Damage" and "No Weak Point" skills*

Alright, now I'm laughing. Bravo, game. Bravo.

I spent 2 hours maxing out that stupid doll minigame and just realised I don't even know what I got from it.

Not if you do it right, no. If you're not paying attention, you can potentially loop infinitely through the game forever, but you probably won't.

I'm vaguely aware of what you're referencing, but still very early into the game. Is it worth it/viable to

Spoiler

do a loop to get the other asteriks' from the points where you have to choose, or is there a chance to get them later on?

The game forces you to loop once but if you pay attention to the game you can break out of it and carry on with the game which lets you get the other asterisks and proceed with the story.
