Well I beat the rear end in a top hat magic fight from chapter 8. Stillness hosed up four times. Twice I got hit, twice it left Tiz to rage himself down to 1 hp. I hope that is the worst of it, but it was a very interesting and tense boss.

The only real threat was Khamer with both meteor and stop.

Also items bypass his barrier so if you've been rebuilding Norende feel free to stock up. His weakness is Lightning.

He's talking about a different, later boss. Edit: Fire temple guy can be cheesed with abilities that have fixed damage, like the phoenix thing from monk, or most combat items. However, if you just pay attention enough to default when he uses energy blast, he's not very hard.

There is a full-fledged artbook out there for Bravely Default, right? I know the collector's edition came with a 60 page one or something? (dunno I bought it digitally) but if I'm going to buy one it'll be the real, full thing. vvv: Oh boy, a true artbook does exist! Thanks.

Im at the Lontano Villa (yes I just got around to playing seriously). I have Ringabel and Tiz as monks, Agnes as White mage and Edea as Freelancer. Is there any value in getting a few ranks in Freelancer early on? IF not, what do you recommend for Edea? All I have access to is Black Mage, White Mage, Monk, and Freelancer.

Getting up to level 4 in Freelancer will get you Divining Rod, which tells you how many chests are in a dungeon, and Dungeon Master, which turns off dungeon hazards. If these are things you want, then sure, go for it. If not, go Black Mage until you get Knight here in a few minutes because Heinkel's hilariously weak to thunderbolts and Edea's the "best" at hitting things.

I sat on Freelancer for a little while on each character, but in retrospect I should have just assigned a job class instantly for Ringabel and Edea for quality of life reasons. That said, Divining Rod is a pretty handy thing to have in your build, and just swap it out before boss fights. I kept "Miscellaneous" on at least one party member for a pretty long time for Examine, too. Did anybody else stop using Abilink? I used it up until the third boss or so. It just feels kinda cheaty

i just used it to see what skills are at which levels, and also to test things i thought might work (like red mage bp battery) before i put in the time to grind them out.

I will defend Summoner as a good class for all time. A Summoner was in my party for a huge chunk of the midgame, as they make great crowd control characters, especially with Summoning Amp and the million and one ways to restore MP at the drop of a hat. For the end game, I switched out with more things now and then, but Summoner still got use. Hell, I took a Summoner with Summoning Amp and Convergance straight into the very end. Held their own pretty well when compared to the physical classes.

Oh this game. (Minor Chapter 8 spoilers)DeRosso, the Immortal Vampire Cosplayer, complaining about getting paired up with the "Duchy's Psychopaths" is pretty great. Then I wipe them all out with Fairy Aid rendering their tactic moot.

Is there just something strange that I accidentally did, or is the Ranger class better than, like, everything. My Tiz Ranger out damages any other anything. I'm at about level 50 coming up on the Fire Temple (I've been grinding to the point of ridiculousness).
