You know what's not fun? Having a party of mostly physical attackers attack that plant monster that counterattacks with Eject.

Cake Attack posted:the random encounters are pretty poorly tweaked in this game. like i don't think it's a bad thing for them to actually be tough, but they're way more dangerous than any boss. Some of the bosses I feel are pretty well stacked here. And I actually don't think it's a bad thing that certain encounters can be much tougher than some bosses, since it usually factored in having low resources in my cases as well (which is basically the point of random encounters). Hobgoblin2099 posted:You know what's not fun? Having a party of mostly physical attackers attack that plant monster that counterattacks with Eject. Holy poo poo I hate that plant for that same reason. That definitely is a fight that gets way harder if you happen to have the wrong setup.

It's kind of silly that in a single turn the grapp keep mobs can take a level 99 party in the finest gear to past half health in a single turn for no real reason. What a silly game.

The random encounters felt like SMT to me. As in, feast or famine. I am playing on hard and love it. Bosses have been great too. I finally blew down a Baal to like level 5 and killed it today. The experience reward was gross, almost a full level, and I got a hp bun that fixed Magnolia's base hp (no idea why she has 80 less!) Might not keep that stuff though, feels kinda out of line for the base game itself.

Half the fun is exploiting the poo poo out of Ba'al hunting. Get a gold Ba'al III, use the max rank thief skill, get two Unearthly buns, run and repeat. Why yes, I would love to have 5 digit HP going into the final dungeon!

Ok I just got to Chapter 5 and that is the coolest RPG twist involving battle mechanics I have ever seen I don't even care that They make you repeat everything again, this is how Bravely Default should have done it. My main complaint is that at this point I'm totally bored of the random battles but thankfully you can turn those off and get like 900JP from the bossfights that are happening every 10 minutes. I imagine at this point to farm I go back to Grapp? Red Mage is finally feeling pretty weak, Tiz is no longer the top damage dealer which is normally Hawkeye Edea right now. I'm hoping by the time he gets Meteor a nice Meteor Meteor Rain will put him back on top. Bit overwhelmed with job choices: Yew: Mastered Wizard, now giving him Time Mage/Red Mage for Meteor Rains eventually. I imagine I can drop Red Mage at some point. Edea: Hawkeye/Fencer, she does really well with this combo and I don't want to switch it out. Magnolia: My most difficult one. Right now Ninja main gives her good damage and I keep her sub to Cat or Patissier, Patissier is a great sub class but a terrible main class. Eventually when she masters Ninja I have no idea where to take her. I kinda like that she can toss a pie or two at the beginning of the fight then just hit things - Pirate is similar but can't do the weakness thing which is where most of my damage comes from. I imagine at some point she can become a BP Battery with it too? Tiz: Mastered Bishop, currently Exorcist. Exorcist has some really cool abilities but doesn't seem worth the slot, and his damage potential is basically 0. Feels like a waste to not make him Offensive Caster/Bishop especially once I start giving Yew Ventroliquist. I did see that I can get Yokai sorta soon?

Yokai is a Magnolia class (Just look at her as a Yokai) Exorcist is a support role and great for it as a secondary slot with Undo Trois.

You'll have Turbo Ethers coming out your ears by that point. If a character has Items For All & Glace from the Patissier class equipped, using one out of battle will restore 300 MP to everyone even if the character with the support abilities is dead. Or use Black Mage secondary for Aspir. Or use Cerebus from the Kaiser class and get all your HP/MP back at the end of battle. Or Benediction Wall, etc.THE AWESOME GHOST posted:My main complaint is that at this point I'm totally bored of the random battles but thankfully you can turn those off and get like 900JP from the bossfights that are happening every 10 minutes.

I don't know about all these late game shenanigans, but the first cheesy thing I discovered early game was summon + rain + mimic that poo poo over and over and over for free. Summoning gets expensive.

I dunno, but all the friends I have on ablink are like.. maxxed out in every class, and I spent all of chapter 1 and most of 2 as 4 wizards. So before I got summoner I was coasting whatever spell was best, and spamming mimic.

Shrug. I'm playing for the story more than finding interesting ways to play dress up. Up until just now every other class was just mathematically worse than wizard. Like I just got ninja.. but there is absolutely no reason to play as a ninja for me at this point. Here is my decision making process for selecting a job. Step 1) Can this one character in this one job wipe out the entire enemy party in 1 turn all alone? If not then it's not the job for me. There is no step 2.

So I'm wanting to specialize my four characters but I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing it in a poor way. Basically I have Yew as offensive mage, so he's been leveling primarily Summoner, Wizard and Red Mage (with some Astrologian and Bishop for support skills here and there.) Edea is a sword-user, physical-focused character, which means she's basically been doing nothing but getting levels in Fencer since I opted to choose whatever didn't get me the Swordmaster asterisk. Magnolia is a sort of mixed bag physical attacker, so she ended up with levels in everything else, Charioteer and Catmancer primarily. Tiz is being geared as a support guy, so Bishop, Astrologian--he's basically doing everything Yew has been doing except for more Red Mage and no Summoner points. I'm feeling like my team has become very unbalanced as a result--Magnolia and Yew are easily huge powerhouse characters while the others seem to be lagging behind in terms of physical or magical prowess. What should I be doing as I build my characters up? For reference, I just got the Hawkeye asterisk, so that's where I'm at progress-wise.

your edea is quite soon going to get a choice between knight, which is a very solid, tanky class, or ninja, which turns a physical attacker into a lightning demon. tiz will probs enjoy performer and exorcist in chapter 3, along with either merchant or white mage in chapter 2, but a support character loving adores patissier, which is coming up soon.

Okay, so what's the deal with the Kaiser asterisk? Seems like a weird support class that has stuff to affect both allies and enemies.

Kaiser owns and you can do some insane poo poo with it. If the endgame didn't devolve into spellcraft-abusing it would be the best class in the entire game. Still, Cerberus is a godsend for magic users and leveling, you get a nice damage all skill, and you get a bunch of cool abilities that let you swing various numbers and battle mechanics to your advantage. Not to mention the class has fantastic stats. KFBR392 fucked around with this message at 06:11 on May 16, 2016 |

The fact that the buffs affect both sides still generally favors the side actually planning around and activating the skills, and having the ability to buff an entire party to 200% PAtk and MAtk with only 1BP and a negligible amount of MP is really nice, as is the guaranteed criticals from Overlord. You can also combine Overlord with the Critical Hitter passive to guarantee crits on spells and items that allow crits, so that's cool. Finally, and somewhat more spoilery, Kaiser has access to another method of cheesing the optional postgame superboss: The skill that nullifies HP/MP/BP restoration also negates resurrection effects, so you can lock the Adventurer in an infinite loop of trying to resurrect the Comrade fox by killing it and then using that skill every turn. Edit: Also it has a really nice coat.

If you feed your favorite character enough buns, and use Prince Of Thieves on Deneb enough times, they can hit the damage cap with each hit while Dual-Quad-Wielding, making basic attacks twice as efficient as any Spellcraft. Probably don't do this though.

Oh man, I keep remembering a party chat that popped up in Eternia every so often and  . The one where they're discussing what the most painful thing is and it's either Tiz or Yew who mentions the time they were going to brush their teeth but picked up a razor instead. It made me laugh at the time, but drat.Also the sidequest for the last asterisk was pretty good. The boss fight was interesting with Ringabel using a bunch of specials, but Yoko kept spamming the Leviathan thing and wiping most of the party so I didn't have much chance to enjoy it. Oh, and I'd forgotten that Alternis and Ringabel were different people so that threw me a bit until I remembered. I'm glad that I realised there were two Dark Knights running about on my own though, even if that was kind of obvious early on.
