I love being able to control encounter frequency. Once I found groups of enemies I could easily dispatch I would double the encounter rate and just farm for a while (turn on auto-battle, dial the speed up to 4x and just wiggle the control stick while I watched TV).

Cake Attack posted:honestly using the friend attacks is probably fine because they drop off in utility pretty hard anyway Depends on the friend attack. I got an attack that hit the cap, took a whole stage off the final boss. Not the soft cap, to be clear. The cap for Bravely Second damage. There were a lot of nines.

Sidesaddle Cavalry posted:I picked up this game a few weeks ago and have been putting bits and pieces of time into it. Stop using friend summons and instead send your own attacks out into the world. The most frustrating moment in this game was unleashing a bunch of my own spells and specials to buff my side and debuff the boss and accidentally killing the boss with the last turn before I used bravely second to lay down a 500k smackdown on a fairly major story boss. Sure, the game is easy to break. But breaking the game while sending out a higher friend summon than any of your friends have sent is satisfying.

tracks because wow, the localized text got really good, really quick. I guess it's easy to just switch anytime or just use the Event Viewer. Polished as gently caress.

 mrgrgr confirmedalso there's a job called exorcist that can turn back time, returning everyone's status to what it was up to three turns ago.

I ended up grinding to get past it, waltzed my way through the next dungeon and now I'm at Eternia. This game's plot keeps surprising me in the coolest, funnest ways, especially since I was worried it was gonna be a bit bare bones on the writing front when I first bought it.

Any tips for Chapter 7 fight against Heinkel, Barras and Ominas? I have Tiz as a Thief/Templar, Agnes is a Spiritmaster/Salve-Maker, Ringabell is a Ninja/Red Mage and Edea is a Valkyrie/Pirate. I think I need to switch Ringabell's secondary to Performer so that I can keep Agnes' BP up for Enigma and healing. I do have Agnes and Ringabell with BP Recovery, so if they get hit with Poison/Sleep they can recover some back, but it's not quite enough. I think I don't have enough abilities unlocked to truly cheese it.

You almost figured it out Don't read this spoiler unless you want to break the entire rest of the game, but I think you're at the point where you begin to need it: You don't have to wait to get Poison/Sleep cast on you for the BP bonus. You can cast it on yourself. There is also a passive ability that makes single-cast things like Poison effect your whole team.

Oh I'm aware of that. I've never really been able to land it regularly enough for it to be useful, though. I maybe need to strengthen my M.Atk or something.

Yesssss I got it.  I love how good it feels when you finally work your strategy well. I managed to get through it by keeping Agnes poisoned. On top of that, I had Ringabell absorbing some hits with Utsesemi/Kairai, then just chipped away at the trio one by one with Tiz and Edea. The only problem was Barras exploding at the end... I should have just been defaulting and letting him kill himself, but I was trying to get Tiz to get Rampart up. He got KO'd so I didn't get any JP for him.  Still feels like there's a long way to go, I could just go do the Crystals but I kinda want the JP from the subquests.

Yeah, this is definitely the best time to do sidequests. As a bonus, have someone with the Thief ability plus the passive that nets you double steals equipped, since the bosses on that chapter have some of the best gear in the game on them.

Yeah that's why I was rocking Tiz as a Thief, I mostly only got equipment that I already had, except for some nice armour from Heinkel I think. Maybe because I don't have that passive unlocked yet (I guess I could Abilink it).

Can I do the vampire castle stuff after I enter the pillar of light? I don't really feel like putting off the plot to go kill a bunch of dragons and count dracula, I wanna see what's in that light pillar.

Yeah, you can. The only thing is that the job you get in there is basically the Blue Mage, and there are many enemies who'll disappear once you go into the Pillar that won't show up again until the final chapter's bonus dungeon.

Honestly, I'd recommend looking up a guide, since some of the spells you can't get again until the endgame can be pretty obscure, and a few of them are really good for later bosses.

Eh. I didn't do it until Chapter 5, and I never really used the Job anyway. If you think it sounds cool and wanna use the job (which is, admittedly, pretty drat cool and good), then yeah you should do it now. Otherwise, whatever.

Regarding the Vampire stuff. Get it before going into the light, then level up the class so you get the skill that charms an enemy and go to Wind Temple and get into a battle with Air Elementals. Charm one so it can cast White Wind on you. Reason for that is that the Air Elemental is one of the enemies you're not seeing again until the bonus dungeon and White Wind owns. Also, abilities learnable from monsters are inside anglebrackets in the monster's bestiary descriptions.

Do what I did: save your game in another slot, go into the white pillar for about fifteen minutes, backtrack in mild disgust

Inflammatory posted:"astrologian" which is not an actual word and will probably become astrologer or something for the western release. Considering FFXIV is also getting an "astrologian" class, you might just see it stay as is. Then again who knows, the just because both publishers are Square doesn't mean it will stay that way either; and they've changed the names of dumber things before.
