Monk Tiz, White Mage Agnes. It makes sense given their specific personalities.

You can usually tell if an enemy's description was written by Ringabel just from the way it was written. Focus on feminine humanoids and you'll usually hit the mark.

They're all written by Ringabel.

That's... Interesting. I thought that (At least for the monster entries) it was divided up between party members. I meant descriptions that were OBVIOUSLY written by Ringabel. Like this!

Succubus: Flying through the air on black wings, this alluring little demon uses Entice to make victims do as she says, which is not always bad if you like that sort of thing.

Probably a holdover from the original game, where the encounter slider didn't exist. Said skill doesn't exist at all in Bravely Second.

But does it STACK with a maxed encounter rate for quick(er) grinding?

By the way, I've done my homework on this game, and the letter rankings for stats are wrong. The weapon ranks are correct, however.

Basically, each Job imposes stat bonuses and penalties on the base character stats. The Freelancer job keeps all stats at their base values before Late Bloomer is factored in. Each job mastered equals an extra 1% bonus for each stat. With all jobs mastered, your stats across the board are 24% higher than their base values.

In the future, I'll list the stat bonuses and penalties as so:

40% means that the stat is at 140% of it's base value, or multiplied by 1.4
-20% means that the stat is at 80% of it's base value, or multiplied by 0.8

White Mages basically have only three ways of dealing damage, barring a second job class. The Aero line of spells, Holy, and damaging undead by healing them.

Knights actually have the highest Vitality multiplier in the game, surprisingly from an early-game Job.

Greyarc, have you thought of putting this information in your Let's Learn Jobs segments?

If you want to build a offensive Thief, try to capitalize on their high hit counts with accuracy and critical hit boosters.

From a writing standpoint, I do like how they used Derosa as a "dark reflection" of Ringabel.

Did I make Ringabel a Red Mage as soon as I got that asterisk? You bet!

So, has anyone mentioned the fact that Revo, of the famous Japanese band Sound Horizon, composed the music for this game?

I only know one other video game song he did-Schwarzweiss, the OP for Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm.
