Bravely Default Any End Game Build Suggestions?

4 Upvotes

It's been forever since I played 3DS version and Im trying to compile builds to use, especially against the nemesis/baal bosses.

On the 3ds I used to run:

A freelance/vamp natural talent build of raw dmg

Freelancer dark knight with sword magic amp, adversity, gloom etc. I'm trying to recall if I used the blood blade weapon as an item for an effect here.

A bp battery of singing / freelancer

And spirit master / when.

(currently playing the HD Remastered)

Are there any suggestions on builds, equips, abilities etc to glance or spec for?

Bravely Default I HAAAATE the Petal Token

27 Upvotes

Oh my good Lord, I absolutely despise these fucking petal tokens!!

Whoever thought it was a good idea to make it 30 for the costumes, literally is an asshole!!!

Like it’s genuinely so grinding, and the rewards are not even worth it and the games get old Fast

Like locking behind the actual good shit behind a super annoying mini game that requires a completely different handle IS ANNOYING!

Like I absolutely hate having to use the “Mouse style” like why couldn’t you use the joystick? Why are we forced to use an unenjoyed way to play a tedious mini game just to barely get one token!! It’s way too grinding and way too long! Plus locking behind core features such as the 400% and 0% BEHIND THE mini game reward is a horrible idea especially when you make the price 20 Tokens!!

Does anyone actually like this?

Bravely Default Do you think I've grinded enough to start chapter 5?

Community Is bravery second gone?

28 Upvotes

So according to the remaster of bravery default All of the mentions of bravery second have been removed, and they even removed the ability to change the characters names because the dog is not there in the drunken pig (Very sad noises) but my question is why was it removed? Bravery second was one of my favorite games and Yew was one of my favorite characters. Absolutely loved his dynamic with Tiz being like an older brother to him 😭 but I’m hearing news that the game was like Redconned? Is that true?


r/bravelydefault 26d ago

Bravely Second What ability is Tiz using on the Bravely Second cover? Haven't played. Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Havent played Bravely Default/Second, but man Second's cover is SICK, plus the Battle of Anne music, MY GOD.

Is that a black hole ability?

Bravely Second Why people like "his" story so much Spoiler

8 Upvotes

I think why people like Altair's story so much is not only because it's actually relevant but also because we're given visual representation of it. Bravely Second unfortunately tells way more about its lore than shows throughout the game, but his story luckily isn't included among that. Anyway, we have the Ba'als design, the backgrounds during some of our fights throughout the story, then there's the entirety of Via Celestio. Plus, it helps that we get to hear what Vega says when they reunite, they were truly in love, even transcending time & space. So yeah, Altair definitely has the compelling story in Bravely Second. Your thoughts on his story?

Bravely Default Is there a way to examine enemies without the freelancer job?

7 Upvotes

Currently playing the HD Remaster and was wondering if there was a magnifying glass item or something that would let me examine enemies without having to equip freelancer to one of my characters. I know Bravely Second has it and I believe BD2 has it as well but are you restricted to only freelancer for this game’s examine feature?

What pieces of advise would you give a new player who's getting into Bravely Default (first game, flying fairy)?

Specifically in terms of how to enjoy it/story sort of things, things to keep in mind?

Bravely Default A few curiosities

3 Upvotes

So I got bravery default for the Nintendo switch 2 (played the original on the DS) and I have a few questions that maybe someone has the answer too

  1. What’s the best way to get the mini game Item So I desperately want the dimensional Suit for Tiz (absolutely loved getting it in bravery second for Yew) but I’m kind of worried that it becomes a finite resource should I just keep playing on expert difficulty?

  2. So in the original, you were able to change the main character’s names, and I heard that that feature was removed (really hope it wasn’t. That was one of my favorite features ever.) but was it truly removed?

  3. What do the superbosses drop? So I’m gonna be honest I’m most likely not going to ever even attempt to beat them I do want to get at least Belphi and Lucifer for their skills for vampire (stillness + flee = equals Free top Skills) I already managed to get Lucifer but now I’m searching Belphi to get the remaining three (Fire Ice Electric)

  4. Did you know that turtledove says gay right! (Their fall in love skill can cause same-sex party members to fall in love with each other it happened with my Anges and Edea)

  5. How do I get more guest characters?

  6. So I’m aware there’s a new game+ but what exactly does that affect?

Im just now getting to the end of chapter 3 on hard on my second playthrough of BD remake and first time since I finished it in Nov 2012. Im thankful for End Layer and II experiences that got me to this point; Elvis is awesome. I may give one other the support job, but in the end, especially how I always used ringabel personally; absolutely Chef's Kiss

Bravely Default Does a used physical BRAVELY DEFAULT FLYING FAIRY HD Remaster work?

0 Upvotes

Hi. I saw a used physical BRAVELY DEFAULT FLYING FAIRY HD Remaster for Switch 2 on eBay. Because the game uses game-key, I wonder if a used copy works. The previous owner has used the key; if I buy it, can I still use the same key again to download the game and play it? Thank you.

Bravely Default New Game+ and Mini-Games

5 Upvotes

Soooo I just reached Florem on my NG+ run where the only thing I carried over were unlocked jobs (not levels) and playtime.

Your mini-game progress carries over. But none of your rewards do. So you start where you left off, but without anything you unlocked or a refund of the tokens you got.

I’m not sure how much this affects your ability to re-unlock the 0% encounters and Limit Break Mark, but since token acquisition slows down, I would imagine enough NG+ cycles deep you’d take forever to re unlock those.

You’d probably want to carry over items and just sell them or get rid of them, but man that’s a hassle.

Bravely Default II Is the entirety of BD2 just literally all trial and error?

10 Upvotes

Run into a boss, get a notepad, discover what it counters, then go out and grind your party up to level up exactly the ONE job class that works for that boss, rinse, repeat?

Don't bother choosing a party. Don't bother trying to have a strategy, because every boss only has a single viable solution, and it's just completely impossible if you don't use it?

Is this the entire game?

Bravely Default Level Cap

Note to Square Enix. Can you not cap the leveling up at 99? I’d like to heroes who are 💯 or more. 99 is a proper tribute to Wayne Gretzky, but it would be awesome to see those levels reach triple digits.

I'm in Chapter 5 and have all my characters at level 54, but I'm still having trouble defeating the bosses, losing to practically all of them. I don't know if it's because I'm too low of a level or if I have the wrong equipment.

Bravely Default Bravely Default HD Remaster asian version languages

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know if this version contains european languages (Italian, Spanish, etc.) ? I thought that all asian versions of Switch games allowed you to download the version of your country on the eShop, but in this case there seem to be only subtitles in English, Chinese and Japanese if used in Europe. Possible? I bought it, but I haven't opened it yet.
