Haha yeah, that's what I was thinking about. Having Sloan on your team is so exploitable, you have to believe they did it on purpose. It's pretty amusing
Even on Hard the game seems really well balanced and non-grindy. There's a huge number of optional quests and a decent number of side dungeons and side bosses to go explore and challenge yourself. Boss fights are hard, but much more meticulously designed than the boss fights of other Job RPGs.
I totally dig how crit and vulnerability are both less than 2x. Makes it feel like a nice bonus without feeling mandatory.

Okay maybe this will help settle it for me. I liked Bravely Default well enough but have the same complaints everyone else did (repetition and the characters never emoting their problems) and so found Bravely Second to be a much better and more fulfilling game, but that game seems to have gone over like a lead balloon.
If I come into Bravely Default II loving Bravely Second, what am I going to get out of it? I'm all in on a tropey send up to classic JRPGs with a deep combat system, that part's great.

Cranked some tunes for an hour or so and got all 4 characters the jp boost passives using fish grinding so at least that's done
1.7 boost should make up for it over 70 hours or however long the game is

I turned it off and it makes the game look much cleaner in handheld mode. I think the frame rate is still same.
Fresh fish treat that lets you chain battlea automatically, was getting like 250 jp a battle on the starting beach
AFAIK there's no crafting system in the game so I've been selling all the stuff that says "collectible" and isn't usable.
Thanks, does that specifically mean to be loaded into your game save, or just at the title screen or whatever?
Also, I checked on that chest and learned that you can cut trees later, so you have to go back to get it
Finished the prologue. Enjoyed for the gameplay, but hopefully the story gets more interesting.
The only cutscene so far (the fight) was fun to watch, if a little low budget. Hopefully there's a healthy amount of cutscenes like that instead of just dialogue screens.

That's a good question, I'm not sure. I just press home screen and make my switch sleep. Next morning, the boat came back with tons of items. I think your save file has to be opened. I would assume it works similar to how buildings work in the original Bravely games.
And thanks for the tip! I suspected you could cut down trees later on.
Really enjoying this. About six hours in, and while the cast is nothing groundbreaking, their gentle humour and lack of mediocre tropes makes them quietly heroic, which is a nice change. Tinkering with the team setup never gets old, I don't even mind the weight mechanic here. I like that all classes can equip anything but get the most out of certain categories, there's a real granularity to it. Find a nice weapon? It might not be perfect for your current class but you can still have a few swings with it. Job points and passives and a good turn-based battle engine that gives you all buff/debuff/scan info, it's just really pleasant to play if you enjoy the genre. Other games are flashier or have more original setups, but there's a quiet depth to both the mechanics and the party in this that I really appreciate.
I'm sorry but rare monsters on the starting beach doing 1000 damage is dumb.
All this does is ensuring that I never even try fighting those rares.
Rare monsters should be a challenge but be level appropriate with the zone they're in.
Also, any way to make the night come faster? Or just run around on the world map?

I agree with everything, right down to your word choice. I've been trying to put into words why I'm having such a good time with the characters despite them being, on paper, pretty bog-standard and I think you nailed it. And the RPG systems are all just really pleasantly playable, making it such a cozy game
Only just into chapter 1 (I suspect it's going to get a lot more difficult given how tough I found the boss fights already!). Having a really great time so far - even with the game's technical shortcomings (jaggy characters, slightly chuggy menus), as far as throwback JRPGs go it's a very enjoyable one.
The music is to die for. It's not as powerful as a Nier OST or anything like that, but it's just so great. Loving the world map music in particular.
I really need to convert Elvis to a White Mage for a bit to get that daytime mana regeneration passive...

No, you always need the console in sleep mode, but talking to the lady is how you activate it and end a session to claim your prizes.
So I have to leave the game running when I put the Switch in sleep mode for the fishing to work?
I started it at he lady, and then backed out to save and closed the game and put it into rest mode and nothing happened lol

Mm, I think there should be a visual indicator when a rare mob is well beyond your level, but I don't mind there being high level rares in low level areas in general, because you backtack for side quests anyway.
Yeah, unfortunately. It's so people can't game the system by adjusting the clock.
There is a visual indicator. The really tough enemies have a red sheen/glow. It's difficult to notice at first but it's there.
This also makes it a gamble to try and figure out just how out of your league they are. You can exploit some of them into defeat, for example: poison and Sir Sloan take quick care of the rare enemy outside the first optional dungeon area.
Oh God that. That was REALLY annoying. You forget the lunch, then water and then freaking spoon and forks AND then you go back to give the husband's thanks?
My opinion is you need to farm cards but maybe there is that one person that is going to beat it with the standard deck it just seems exceedingly difficult.
I came specifically to say that despite enjoying the game a lot, some of these side quests gotta go lol the one you described is in no way enjoyable, and there are a few that feel just as pointless
I played for a couple hours and got into the first dungeon. I have to say I'm very happy I decided to give it a chance even though I didn't really like the demo.
Starting from the beginning really helped to get a grasp on everything. The opening scenario isn't really as interesting as the one in the desert, but I think this would've been a much better way to pull new players in.
The dialogue scenes almost come off like actors on a stage delivering lines. When I look at it that way the character designs don't bother me at all.

so far, it's absolutely everything I could want from a turn based rpg on the switch. I will say the characters aren't quite popping like the original quartet. It's hard to top Edea and Ringabell, and Agnes was more quirky than Gloria.

on job section, you have to switch to different page first (y button). tho generally they're just use that job command multiple times for activation (other than freelancers)
coloured symbols = elements
weapon symbols = weapon type
Olay, I'll try that, I also wanted to learn what buff each super has
Thank you but I meant a key that shows what each means specifically
Light weakness is freaking weird. I only have 1 class that can hit it and it's random too.
On hard right now I have to always switch back to my fully maxed mainjob setup so I'm losing a lot of jp from story battles. At least it's easy enough to farm jp but still hurts to lose out on but those battles are too brutal to enter with my lesser leveled jobs
