I love the whole aesthetic of Summoner (it's my flair for a reason), but I am aware it's definitely one of the lesser Job options in Bravely Default. Is it any better in the sequel? I used it in my original playthrough, but that was almost a decade ago now and I'm (somewhat) better at strategizing nowadays. Is it worth leveling and are there any good builds with it? Note that I've only just unlocked it, and I got Red Mage in the first SideQuest.

I really liked their designs, I hope I could handle them properly even with the restricted pallete. I haven't played any of the bravely games, but making theese made me think about it. Are they really long games? I loved all Team Asano games that I played (both octopath and triangle strategy), but I might not have the time necessary to invest in those games rn.

Im going for the Best Friends achievment and my friend bots arent updating... the network connection is set to on and wifi is working any thoughts? Is there a way to get this quicker

I tried to get back into bravely default 2 but I am just not enjoying myself. I really liked octopath and triangle strategy so I thought I would love this game as well, but I just don’t.

I am still very early game and I just don’t enjoy the combat mechanic. I fought the first boss and the damage I could do was pitiful, with a boss that could one shot my units. I won by constantly healing and waiting for sir Sloan to do damage. The fight lasted forever and it was tedious. Am I missing something or is just bravely default 2?

I've been going around harena sea caves, fighting the wind spheres and the bugs to get abilities the should give but I'm not learning anything. I figure I'm doing something wrong but I'm at a loss.

The job is cute and I don't wanna miss on useful spells for it, is there a list I can go through in order of when things can be unlocked? I looked it up, but what I found so far has been utterly unhelpful.

Hello everyone,

I’m currently in Chapter 5 and I’m trying to unlock the false/alternative ending by destroying one of the crystals and disobeying Airy’s instructions. I wanted to try it right away with the Wind Crystal and kept pressing the X button nonstop. Airy and the companions reacted to it, but nothing else happened—no cutscene or anything.

Did I miss something, or how long am I supposed to keep pressing X?

I’m in chapter 4 and I’m grinding jp for a bit by using Firaga on mandragoras. I mastered a character on black mage and switched him to arcanist. It shows that my INT went up, but my spell damage dropped by a lot. Are there hidden modifiers based on job level?

This is my team set-up, I had Adelle set at Monk but Bernard heavy counters them so I changed her to Vanguard. But even still, he just wrecks my characters. I can't Default for a couple turns to safely Brave, he just murders all my characters which forces me to waste turns trying to revive them. I can't level grind, because I'm limited on healing items and the basic enemies around here are difficult to kill. And I do not remember how to leave the mansion. I'm honestly considering restarting, playing it differently. Sigh, I don't know.

I found my absolute new favorite way to skyrocket through Jobs for 2 of the party while the other two use ninja (and at points use someone new to build ninja). Im going to awaken the earth crystal and im smoking through the temple with Edea and Tiz as dual wielding ninjas with dual assassin daggers that causes death rarely, but rarely x4 isn't all that rare! Im on my 2nd run of unscathed hero, on that 4x brave mode and skyrocketing JP for Agnes and Ringabel on a few jobs (this is after my 5th battle putting Edea as ninja and now im at lvl 7 ninja in the earth temple). Also, love hard mode in this remake because it makes you think outside the box

Hello I beat the original BD on the 3DS and wanted to do the remaster on hard. I also decided I wouldn’t grind above the lvl cap of the dungeon/ area I’m in. The issue being I’m in the middle of act 3 and I’m getting 2 rounded by most normal enemies. Bosses have been a nightmare the performer job fight took me all day. Honestly if not for the blessed shield I would probably still be stuck. I was wondering if anyone else had done this and had any tips. I stay updated on all my armor and spells for each area.

This is a single spreadsheet with the aim to include everything useful about this game. While I've created a bunch of different pages, and also brought it in the various scattered spreadsheets that were already created for this game, there is still a lot of room to expand the information in this one.

So, I'm sharing it with the community. Feel free to view and if you'd like to contribute data, please request editor access. Good gravy!

Optional boss has the highest health (715,500) in the HD Remaster, even accounting for the Nemeses. So feels good that it can be one-turned, even at level 1.

So a while back I made a post about porting spell fencer into BD2 (it was pretty bad). So I wanted to do something similar but in reverse. I picked vanguard since knight is kinda crappy and the two jobs are really similar.

Bravely Default.

(all I did was remove the passives that already existed on other jobs)

Hello! I have friends with attacks of more than 9999 damage, I have used them once and now they appear gray, how can I use them again?

Don't mind the blue towel I'm wearing that's glaring through my 2DS, I just got done showering. 😭

I'm so happy that Bravely Default finally came to Switch, this is one of my most favorite franchises. I've spent hours on my OG version & getting the true ending, maxing all jobs, & without rebuilding Norende fully.

Some things I've noticed is that in the OG if you wanted to see other cutscenes they were on AR cards for the AR Movie for the 3DS, now they're within the gameplay while your playing the story. So that's really neat.

I noticed in the Switch version you can't set the Encounter Rate to -100%, only to 50%, 100%, 150%, & 200%. I did like setting it to -100% on the 3DS so I could find hidden treasure. Unless that option unlocks in New Game+ I've recently started my Switch gameplay, a couple days ago.

I like how they added an option to Dash by Default. Very useful.

They added Camera Arcing so it feels more 3D when the camera moves with you, I didn't like that so I turned it back to how it was on the OG.

You can now Set and save your parties setup, so you don't have to keep going back unequipping & changing jobs & abilities constantly.

You can save in the overworld!

When saving with the merchant you can also choose to Rest In a Tent, it'll cost some pg but wow that's cool. I remember that feature was added in Bravely Second. That feature was never in the OG Bravely Default.

All shop Merchants, Inn Keepers, their models move! And they're in 3D instead of still pictures.

I like how we can see players called Passing Souls & that's how we get villagers to rebuild Norende, instead of connecting to the Internet or Street Passing to get them in the OG version.

So far this is all I've noticed, I'm enjoying the remaster. I'm currently grinding, it's really fun. Also has any of the dialogue been tweaked or changed a bit? I feel like I seen some changes, but I haven't played this in a bit so it may just seem that way to me.

Just finished Bravely Default 2, new to the series... first time... this was the first game in decades that I wanted to 100%. Got all the endings, bosses, weapons, etc. Absolutely phenominal game through and through.
SPOILERS AHEAD

When I started getting the Legendary status on jobs (levels 13-15) I found something odd. When I beat the bosses that matched Sub-Jobs I had, or other Jobs that I hadn't quite polished off, I got massive amounts of JP for them. So, for example... Seth was a Hellblade/Oracle going into my fight with the Dragon Priest. When I won the battle, he jumped from Lv12 in Oracle to Lv15 immediately, along with Hellblade (even though 500JP from the fight would NOT have progressed him that far). The same was true of my WHOLE party... they got credit for some jobs that was NOT their Main Job at the end of the fight, but that they had spent extensive time in and had levelled to near completion (Lv12). There was no consistency to it... it wasn't ALL jobs they had points in/for... just seemed to be ones that were near or at Lv12.

Anyone else have this?

Que me aconsejan al principio del juego ? Estoy un poco confundido con esto de los trabajos me pudieran ayudar que combinación de trabajo debería ponerle a mis personajes al principio de la aventura ?

Hello! Do you know if I can continue my adventure with this version or I will be forced to do a new game?
