You should try to get to it sooner rather than later, Link Between Worlds is pretty much universally praised even by the most curmudgeonly of goons, myself included. It makes nice use of its hardware without getting gratuitous or going overboard and it's got some well thought-out references to games like LttP and OoT without ripping off of them too hard.

Great music, great gameplay, really just great in general. My only real complaint with it is that extremely minor characters turn out to be Sages, so when NPCs start saying, "Hey, what happened to <this guy>?", you're like, "... Who?"

When the main BD quest goes to poo poo at least the side quests all become really interesting and push the limits of the battle system.

The negative to Bravely Default is that getting the true ending involves replaying the 4 crystal dungeons (not as tedious as it sounds because you can turn off random encounters) like...5 times I think?

Also you can just make a mad dash to the crystal rather than having to do the dungeon all over again. The repetitive nature of the last third of the game may have been a poor design choice, but all the cool little touches in the game make it less painful. Also, considering that bosses give quite a lot of exp and AP, it's basically a way to grind out levels.

Bravely Default is really good I just never bothered to "finish" it after that first reset. That sequel has a ton of potential and I'll def get it though. Saving that cycle stuff for like optional NG+ hard modes or something would be a better implementation. Hope they learned their lessons.

Whilst I generally agree with this sentiment Bravely Default is a really bad example to use in this case, the bottom completely falls out of the last third of the game and it's perfectly reasonable for people who've enjoyed the game and systems so far to not want to replay prior sections of the game five more times to fight a few additional bosses and see some cutscenes.

Hey man you do what you want, replaying an RPG like that over and over feels really time-wasting to me. I don't really care about replay value nearly as much as first-play value.

Also legit do those things, because many movies based on books are good, and wikipedia can give you a pretty basic understanding of stuff quickly. This is solid advice imo

edit- hey man relax about how other people do their entertainment. :)

The best fights in the game (by far) are in the last few hours of the game and if you aren't a completionist sperg who has to rebeat every minor boss, you can burn through all the cycles in less than 2 hours.

Though I actually liked the cycle thing. The only frustrating thing to me was figuring out the riddle gets you the "bad" ending while playing like a mindless retard leads you to the "good" ending.

Instead of running a dungeon to upgrade your weapon, you need to do the FFX chocobo minigame with the same requirement as for the Sun Sigil.

Of course you need a full group and everyone has to succeed or it doesn't count.

Except Bravely Default has you literally replay the game like four or five times to get the proper ending. It doesn't even make the game harder or anything because unless you played the whole game with random encounters off, you'll have likely broken the job system over your knee by the end of your first playthrough and made all but the toughest fights in the game one-turn bores.

I got Bravely Default with my 3DS and I loved it because it's class system Final Fantasy game. Now I'm on the third reawakening. I kinda know what happens but I really want to push through and finish the game. Should I have done the bad ending first? There was no way for me to have saved the game in a different slot so I didn't want to go too far down that path.

I also know there are some really good job combinations but I can't see them. I like Vampire, Templar, Ninja, and Salve-maker a lot. Haven't gotten the last job.
