So, I'm just getting around to playing the demo now, and every fight I seem to get my poo poo wrecked. Should I be getting murdered easily in the cave to the West if my characters are Lv 1 or 2? Do I need to grind? Have I bought lovely equipment?

Dunban posted:Don't immediately head to the cave, level up a bit in the desert near the town and try to get a feel for the jobs and abilities you're using. ThePhenomenalBaby posted:Yea the game expects you to fight out in the field and do the field related quests when you first start. you're getting a bit ahead of yourself, though I'd imagine it would be possible to survive with the base classes if you knew what you were doing. Just a question about the mini-boss in the cave to the West, when I fought her, she seemed to keep getting BPs every turn (max'd to 3 of course, though). I'm not sure if I was just missing the command she was using to get that, it wasn't like the Imps' Brave Thief ability, or whatever it's called. She was then trying to Aeroga my party a few times every turn, but having died to her previously I used Silence on her as soon as I faced her again. I'm just wondering where she was getting the BPs from and why they weren't decreasing at all even though she was doing 2 actions per turn? The demo is quite fun, although I feel like I won't be able to wrap my head around combining skills from different jobs. irlZaphod fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Jan 5, 2014 |

Is there any way for me to have e.g. Ringabell be a Performer who can Dual Wield daggers? I want to be able to do this because it would own, but the Dual-Wield ability seems to be built-in to the Ninja job, and isn't available as a Support ability. What does it mean when it says "Unused Cost... <X>" under Support Abilities? Is it just saying how many slots are free, or is there a cost if you load up on a few Support Abilities? Also just re-posting this since I think it got missed. irlZaphod posted:Just a question about the mini-boss in the cave to the West, when I fought her, she seemed to keep getting BPs every turn (max'd to 3 of course, though).

Terper posted:Well, everyone can always dual wield, it's just that their attack power is cut down by 50% unless you have Dual Wield. So a Black Mage could use two rods that give +Magic since they don't use attack power anyway. Anyway, once a Ninja hits job level 11 in the full game, they get Dual Wield as a support ability, so all the other classes can use it. Terper posted:She was Defaulting. I don't recall any ability she had that stole or gave her extra BP. e: If she had 3 BP, could she Default, then use Aeroga twice and still have 3 BP left? e2: I don't think so actually because Defaulting would be all she could do on her turn. irlZaphod fucked around with this message at 12:50 on Jan 6, 2014 |

Terper posted:Well, no, that's not possible. Are you certain that's what happened? What might have happened is that all of your characters were in negative BP, so she could Default, it would go to next turn without any input from you, she'd Brave and attack twice, then Default, and then you can act again.

Terper posted:Oh! If you can't act for any reason then your BP isn't used up. If your Black Mage was silenced before he could fire off four Thundagas or whatever, then he'd keep all his turns that he would have used. Same would happen if you had too little MP, was put to Sleep...

I finally Streetpassed someone with the game yesterday afternoon, so I got an extra villager.  Of course, yesterday morning I finished rebuilding Norende anyway.

Finally finished the demo, I sunk 10 hours into it.  I was going to get the full game yesterday, but everywhere seems sold out of it. I think Amazon have it through resellers, but I'll see can I find it locally. If worst comes to worst I guess I'll just get a digital copy.

Does anyone know if this game got a really tiny print run in Europe? Loads of places seem to be sold out of it, even online retailers. I really want to pick it up next week, but it looks like I might not be able to.

queeb posted:Is it normal to get wrecked by the mobs right outside the city in the demo? fuckin poison and insta death aeros going around. Try experimenting with different jobs and gear, too. It might seem a little overwhelming at first, with all the different options, but I just started off with a Knight/Ninja/Black Mage/White Mage, and only switched when I had max'd all the job levels (it maxes out at 4 in the demo).

I finally got my copy yesterday. Remind me in future not to bother waiting to see if I get a game for Christmas.  I've only played for about an hour and still only have Tiz and Agnes (and no jobs other than Freelancer  ), I'm glad I played the demo to completion because I'm stacked with gear. Oh, I just unlocked Norende too, so I get to rebuild it. Again.

I beat the first boss last night, and got my first jobs.  Is there a particular strategy to it? I ended up just focusing on Holly, since she was mostly just casting Protect on Barras. I managed to get her killed, although she Cured herself a few times. Once she was gone, I could just chip away at Barras till he suicided. I had to use a few potions but overall it was ok.I'm at the 2nd (I guess?) dungeon now, I feel like I'm a little under-levelled for it because some of the enemies on the 2nd and 3rd floors are really wrecking my poo poo. I already have a few people on my friends list for the game, but if anyone else wants to add me, my FC is 3179-6055-6192

Cat Machine posted:Are you Braving in the random encounters? Generally the go-to tactic in most random encounters is just to Brave with your sweepers and other damage-dealers and keep the healers/buffers on Default when things go south.

I'm still only on the Prelude chapter (holy hell it feels long), at Lontano Villa, but I'm really loving this game so far. I don't think I've ever finished a FF game, I always get bored/lose interest at some point, and the grinding usually gets to me. I haven't felt like I've needed to grind so far really (but again, I'm not that far in). It's a lot of fun, too. One of the previous FF games which I played was 3 (the DS remake of it), I don't think I really "got" the job system in it. I was very reluctant to change jobs on characters in it. One complaint that I'd have about Bravely Default is that I feel like it takes ages to gain job levels.

There's a chest on Lontano Villa 3F which is locked. Do you need a job ability to unlock it?

Just arrived in Ancheim. I love this music.  I've put about 6 hours into this already, and I'm really only at the start. I mean, I probably wasted about half an hour going back up to Lontano Villa to see could I find a way to open that chest, but apart from that I've just been going straight through it more or less, aside from spending time gearing up etc.

It seems to be fairly important to have StreetPasses to actually build the village, but if I can't get dudes from the tubes because StreetPass in America is broken, I think I won't buy this game. :/ irlZaphod fucked around with this message at 10:29 on Feb 4, 2014 |

I said come in! posted:The download speeds are fine, when the downloads can actually happen. They stop constantly and you have to go through a long process to start them again. Just getting into the eshop lately has been terrible, it takes me a couple tries. It use to never do this too when I first got my 3DS. Ever since Pokemon X&Y came out though, the eshop has been terrible. It got even worst when that online service for Pokemon came out. Yeah, they hosed up with releasing Pokemon Bank at Christmas, and a few things relating to NNIDs, but it all got fixed within a day or two.

Aside from Agnes being a little annoying, the voice acting really doesn't bother me in the game. Although the merchant in Alcheim is just silly.

For the special moves, if you have to Brave 20 times, does that mean in a single battle? Or is it cumulative?

The Level 3 freelancer ability is pretty handy though, I leveled Agnes up to get it. I don't keep it equipped all the time as I still only have 1 Support slot for everyone, but when I'm in a dungeon I'll throw it on for a second to check the number of chests (especially if I've just switched floors).

There seem to be loads of people who got the game a week after me who are in Chapter 5 already. What the hell? I'm still on Chapter 1 (but possibly at the end of it? I dunno).

I said come in! posted:This is actually one of those things a lot of people knew about going in, and honestly I would go as far as to say you should know about this going into the game. I'm surprised more people don't talk about it because it's kinda a super lazy design decision that developers should never do. I don't think I played it at all on Friday or Saturday, then put a few hours in last night. I usually have it in sleep mode though so Norende is really far upgraded. Anyway, I just finished the sub-quest in Chapter 1 last night, so now I have more jobs than I know what to do with. Also I was rockin' Agnes as a White Mage for a while, but decided to switch her to a Thief with the Angel Bow (and White Magic as her secondary job). She's now a totally badass killing machine.
