Back to slowly making my way through the game.
Is the Urchin Ba'al beatable when everyone is level 14? That downpour attack decimates everyone even when defaulting.
Depending on your build, yes. You can just blast it away with the right setup.

No idea, but I love both games!!!I'm onnow and I had to come here. Why isn't this game popular? Srsly!! Everything that happened until now was awesome. The story is amazing!!! My favorite RPG of all time was FFVI but now is Bravely Default + Bravely Second. Both games together build a hell of a story. Maybe people didn't get it? What is happening???Caldista

A lot of people got burned out after the second half of the first game I think. Didn't bother me personally, but I remember seeing a lot of complaints about it.
Is there any "repeat" of that same second half in Bravely Second? I have the game ready to play except that I don't really want to pass through something like that again... (it was tedious...)
The ending pumped me for the sequel though.

There's definitely improvements this time around, the Asterisk holders feel like actual people, putting an actual moral dilemma alongside gameplay benefits was clever, and Tiz and Edea are even more interesting than they were in BD, but Yew and Magnolia are dreadful.

Tiz is even more boring this time around than he was last time to me. He barely has a personality now. Edea is cool though.
Yew and Magnolia are awesome though. Magnolia especially. Way better than Tiz x Agnes.

What Linkstrikesback said. You do revisit a lot of the same towns and some dungeons from the first game though, just to note.

Did the Thief vs. Red Mage quest.Sided with DeRosa, the guy who manipulated women and then literally melted them down, so he could steal a magic water crystal from poor desert dwellers to power research that may explode a country if things go south. I just really wanted the Thief class.

Too bad the game is overall easier than the first. Bosses just have less health overall and throw less at you at once to test your mettle. Kind of a bummer.
God Quad Wield and Dual Wield and fuckkkking 160k damage per 4 bravesss.

Need some spacemans with level 99 space ships who's got one?
My FC is 4742-5424-5670 got the level 99
Managed to beat the urchin by a hair (and by using bravely second / friend summons so it's kind of unfair) at level 16 and with a pretty weak build.
Then I endured the most cringe inducing scene in Bravely yet and now I have to fight some powerlifter dumbledore lookalike. And he still one shots my entire party. I guess my plan of beating the game low-leveled won't work.
I'm playing on hard btw
Getting further into the game and I'm really loving it. The gameplay is deeper, the new classes are a blast, the sidequests with the old Jobmasters are both genuinely compelling as moral dilemmas and ways to alter progression of the game by making you choose between two classes, and the emphasis on humour in the game's script actually works well with the retro styling and chibi character designs the way Bravely Default's hella messed up moments fell flat at times. Heck, even Yew and Magnolia are growing on me.
Also the Wizard is amazing and I kind of want an entire game based around Spellcrafting now.
EDIT: Okay, how does fighting Ba'als work? This Apparati is like level 20 and it has five times as much health as the latest story boss and the Reaction spell OHKOs all my team.
Close to 100%ing the game. Only need to finish the baals bestiary stuff. The only bummer is to fill out the bestiary I have to rely on luck with streetpasses/daily net invites. I need to fight most of all the Baals 4-5 times to get the thing filled out. I'll fill it out eventually, but it might take a few weeks depending on my luck.
Is it true that some jobs are missable or that you have to choose one over another for the asterisk fights?
Well shit.Use new game plus to go to chapter 4, then get to the point where the world freezes. You'll encounter ba'als as you walk around the world, and while the game says that you can't fill your bestiary during this point, it actually keeps track of every enemy you kill. So you'll have to keep track of how many ba'als you actually kill, but it will work. You just have to go to another chapter and fight any enemy and it should sort itself.
That's what I did and it worked.

Not sure if i screwed myself over, but I realizeda lot of enemies that were available before starting the new game plus don't appear anymore in some of the dungeons now filled with new higher leveled enemies. If i intend on filling out the bestiary did i fuck up?
Nope, theyall appear in a post game dungeon so you can't miss them.
Well shit.
I did that same thing, but when I reached the point I figured oh, I can't do that because of the message they told you. Welp, time to do it again I guess. Thanks for letting me know about this.
didnt the ranger have an attack that would hit everyone in the first game?
I dont see it here
Isnt it Multiburst?
I'm currently playing BD this week
I just got to the dreaded part where everything starts to repeat and decided to take a break for a day or two
My complaints so far:
- Would have enjoyed some more side quests (that weren't asterisk related)
- Dungeons are a bit samey (even those outside of the crystal dungeons all feel quite similar)
- Villains are a little goofy and pantomimey (I feel a bit like many of them wouldn't be out of place on a Saturday morning children's cartoon) - in theory this is fine, if there's just one or two like this (the jesters from FFIX come to mind) but half of the cast make me feel this
- When the story gives us cutscenes involving the villains, I feel like they aren't developed enough, for example, even though the player is continually besting them and killing the villains one by one, the remaining villains rarely reflect on this, so it feels like there's little consequence
- I'm not a huge fan of how the 'special' moves work, I'd rather just be able to kinda junction a particular one I've gained and then have to fill up a bar or something to activate it
- Summons are kinda random and really non-effective - I've unlocked all of them (stumbling upon Susano-o during chapter 3 was a surprise!) but they never seem to do much damage in battle, the 'ga' elemental attacks do a better job
So those are my grievances, and would be interested to see if those are remedied in the sequel? At any rate, aside from those few issues, I'm really enjoying the game! It feels like an earlier FF game (only better, frankly) but is just lacking a little bit of character/plot development and the world map is a little lacking in areas to really contend with golden era FF, but it's a super promising start.
Also I forgot to mention, I fucking love how we can change the combat encounter rate (good for grinding, and good when you can't be arsed) and a minor thing but how we can turn off voices!!! I turned them off and enjoyed the game without either Japanese or English dub (these are always much to slow for my reading speed, and generally a bit cringey) so I could enjoy reading it like pre- Ps2 era JRPG I wish more games had this!
Is there any permanently missable sidequest? I'm 10hours in, really enjoying it, but I'd love to play with the destination markers off, to get the feel of the old JRPGS. The only problem is that this also turns off the sidequests markers, and I don't want to lose a job because I didnt look in the right place at the right time...
Not really. Worst case, there's a new game plus that lets you choose whichever chapter you want to start from, and just about everything else carries over.
Oh shit, Bravely Second just went all Undertale.
It's crazy to think I was going to skip out on this. I liked Bravely Default a lot, but also recognize that it had some significant flaws, and Bravely Second started out pretty thin, but as the game's gone on it's gotten magnitudes better in terms of story, writing, and characters.
So now that I'm on Chapter 5I can grab all the asterisks I missed the first go-round, right?
