Bravely Second End Layer

[bloomwaker]

Finally started playing. ;;

I should go to the mall to hopefully get a bunch of streetpasses. Maybe tomorrow.

I've only been playing for about...four hours or so, and while I'm enjoying it, I'm not liking the new characters nearly as much.

Granted, the only characters I truly loved in Default were Edea and Ringabel.

The split Asterisks scare me a little, but I guess we'll see...

If I have to side against the Dark Knight to get his Asterisk I'll be particularly upset. 8(

I just got my copy last week! I'm currently running my second playthrough with Bravely Default before I finally start Bravely Second. How's the game? For those who have played both Default and Second, what are your feedbacks?

OT: I wish this thread gets stick-ied.

For BD, I skipped a bunch of battles with the asterisk holders at the end of the game and basically never picked it up again (although I did enjoy the story/characters/music otherwise). For Bravely Second, I think they definitely picked up on fan feedback and so the story doesn't have that repeative thing (thankfully). It's a little more generic, but still told rather well! Edea is my favourite and she makes a return along with Tiz! After I beat Bravely Second, I've been going back and leveling up my characters and their jobs. If you want, add me and you can ablink with me! I have almost all the jobs at level 10, now

Anyway I really enjoyed how all of the main story is fully voice acted. The music is by ryo, who does good work (but the soundtrack isn't /great/. Revo sets a high level). The level of detail of the ba'als are amazing and I really liked the game!

The Ba'als remind me of the Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica witch battles in a way, haha.

Since I won't be getting the game anytime, I decided to try the demo... and omg. One of the character's level up poses is just fantastic! xD

Sure, i'll add you up later! I'm excited! I'm currently in Chapter 7 of Default and trying to complete items that can be stolen with the bosses. Will finish this in a day or two.

Forgot to say I got this game a few days ago. About halfway through Chapter 2 right now.

Spoiler: Chapter 2 spoilers (I guess?)

I beat Aimee on my first try and I was really shocked because everyone was only level 21 while the recommended level was 24-27. I've been 1 level under on average, but the jump to 3 shocked me. But I got a hold of her pattern and then she was pretty easy. (The battle took longer than it probably should've, but I don't mind.)
First 2 asterisks I chose were Red Mage and Swordfighter, guessing I'll go Merchant and Ranger this chapter. (I liked Ranger in Default don't judge me.)

I REALLY abuse the encounter rate just like I did in Default. It's always at ?100%, never anything in between.

In BD, I decided to make my first playthrough a Hard difficulty only and didn't exactly know what I was getting myself into. The first boss (with the Monk and White Mage asterisks) was actually extremely difficult for me, but then it smoothed out as I started to legitimately think. I'm on my second time through the Crystals and it has taken a REALLY REALLY long time because I've just been going through every single asterisk every time in every world, working to fill up my encyclopedia, and all that stuff. Water Crystal has the hardest boss for me (probably because I don't really have a strong black mage character), and I always have an extremely hacky method of doing the Earth Crystal's...

I just got my copy today! And is it just me, or has Edea's voice actor been changed?

If you think those are hard, just wait until the fire crystal boss.

I might borrow this game from my brother. I've played through Bravely Default and I did like it, especially the job system (just like FFV) but I did find the game to be quite difficult towards the end (not in a good way) and the "repetitiveness" really put me off which is a shame for a game that did so many things right.

RPG:s take a lot of your time and I don't want it to feel like a chore like I did with the second half of BD. So should I give it a go or a pass?

I never played BD but I do know what you're referring to when you say "repetitiveness". While this game does repeat something, it's very short until you do something specific. And the game kinda whacks you over the head with hints as to what said something is, so I wouldn't worry too much. ^_^

My Nintendo just released a Bravely Second theme for 100 platinum coins! I bought it without thinking twice it's really nice! (The music is the theme you hear on the Fort Lune rebuilding Streetpass... thing. I don't know if it has a name tbh)

^^That song^^

Just added you! I don't have every job maxed (there's a few that are still level 1 for everyone ) but all the new jobs have enough levels on them.

I got to the final boss a months ago and I still haven't beaten it, I need to stop being distracted by dozens of other games. :/

 

[Mayor Jamal]

its ok i don't mind.

 

[Mayor Jamal]
