This game is either loved or hated in this board, why?
>>384919993
Muh weebshit
i dont think anyone hated it.
some are probably mad they couldnt play it
>>384919993
You already know why people hate it.
>>384920085
how tho? the 3ds is a cheap console.
>>384919993
The last third of the game is mind numbing if you're going for the true ending. The play on words with the title was pretty clever though.

>>384923025
>Boring characters
>Ringabell and Edea
Does not compute.
>>384923158
Games you don't like doesn't mean they are awful.
>>384919993
The artificial padding is obscene, but I like the battle system and the characters. The fact that all the major enemies have their own personalities and motivations is pretty nice.
>>384923574
favourite villain?The roso is the best
>>384923776
Braev, Victor, and Victoria are great, but my overall favorite is probablyOminas.Didn't much care for how they handled him in Bravely Second, though.
>>384924130
well the fact he appeared in around the 1/3 rd of the game didn't help it. but i like how they handled the acher girl, how was she called? Artemis?
1's major flaw is the repeating at the end. If you're into RPGs, you're going to want to try and do everything the game offers, which unfortunately amounts to incredible amounts of padding that actively detract from the game as a whole. On top of that, the game is really easy once you realize how truly busted some of the available jobs and skills are. Dark Knight, stillness, merchant, and time mage invalidate any challenge any of the end game trails might offer.
2 fixed some of the major problems with 1, such as the repeat being only once, and offering all the classes you missed out on the first cycle, but then completely blundered when it came to everything else. Characters, story, music are all nearly Fire Emblem Fates levels of bad, and it actively demerits the game entirely. They tried to iron out some of the broken aspects of the battle system, but it's still just as broken in the end.
>>384919993
This game is definitely above avearge. Fresh game mechanics, good music, bearable story. It has just one fucking huge flawNintendo hardware.
>>384925224
>Characters, music is bad
>This means that Edea, Ringabell and "that person's name is" = bad
i will call that part bullshit.
>>384924595
Artemia? Yeah, she was all right, though her whole "everyone should get equal shares" thing felt forced for the sake of conflict considering she was all for survival of the fittest in the first game. Really that whole sidequest just ended up making me realize what a shitshow the localization was.
>Artemia's character shift
>Ominas conveniently forgets that he's a mage and can easily deal with a cave-in until after you've been forced to take a side
>turns out it doesn't matter whose side you pick because everyone is totally fine no matter what
>someone unironically thought this would be an improvement over having consequences for your actions
>>384925553
Aside from the reused music from one, numbnuts. All the new music from 2 was non Revo trash.
>>384925280
there are no classic jrpg games in non-japanese consoles and sony ain't gonna do any of that.
>>384925620
How is any of that the localisation's fault?
>>384925553
There is A BIG difference on Bravely default and second. please precise next time. you almost got me a bait attack.
>>384925767
actually many people prefer the english actors. even the weebs.
>>384919993
I'm currently playing it. It's nothing special. The job system works fine, the brave/default system is unnecessary,adds nothing. Absolutely all dungeons are the same garbage with different textures/backgrounds.
>>384925798
>Post is clearly separated, each paragraph talking about different games
maybe you should learn to read instead
>>384919993
One of my favorite handheld jrpg's of all time, right up there with radiant historia.
All dungeons look and play the same. It got censored to hell and back. Characters are one dimensional. Voice acting was ok tho'.
>>384919993
I dropped the game as soon as I realizedthe game loops.It was fun before then, though.
>>384925767
I guess it's not for the first two points, but originally you couldn't get the best "ending" without jumping through several hoops. They took that out for the localization and made it so you always get a good result because they didn't want people's feelings getting hurt. It just happened to stand out here because if I give Ominas's dragon all of our remaining rations on a gamble, I expect SOMEONE to die of starvation.
If there was anything keeping me going in this game, it was Airy's thighs.
>>384926306
Airy is a 10/10 villain.
>>384925620
yeah i know remember the scene, i seemed that they didn't know what to do with the charcters they got the least of exposition in the last game. i think in the second game it was explained on the dairy that artemia was on some sort of recovery with her sister after going batshit insane in the first one? That may explain why she was so much nicer.
Either way, i like Artemia in second.
>>384926120
>It got censored to hell and back
How come all dungeons are the same shit? Is there any boss fight in which the battle system plays an important part? What does the brave/default system add?
Because some people are plebs that don't realise that during the memeloops the game gets way better.
>Interesting character development for the entire party and all the Asteriks bosses
>Combat gets fun again because of the asteriks fights in the later loops
>Best music in the game only plays in the second half
>The exp softcap gets removed which lets you start getting end game skills on your jobs
>Story actually starts being interesting instead of being generic JRPG #7293
Yeah it sucks that you have to kill the 4 crystal bosses again each loop but you spend more time doing new content than repeating old content in the second half.
People always meme that you have to repeat the whole game 5+ times, something they probably heard from a random youtube review from some guy who skipped all the side quests. This is factually wrong as you can just fly to the 4 dungeons and walk through them with 0% encounter rate to fight to bosses. No dialogue is required.
Fuck the Crystal awakenings though i can't and won't defend that bullshit.
>>384919993
People gave a fuck because of the job system. The characters, the settings and the plot are all pretty bland. The villians were entertaining. Games that force you to play the segments again are always shitty, no exceptions.I'm looking at you, Nier.
>>384926175
Oh i know why they did the changes! They made a poll with Japanese game testers and the majority agreed that they didn't like bad endings so the localisation team decided to change that out.
>>384926574
>he likes reused assets
>he thinks the combat is fun when the end game is where you can break the battle system in half and become a god in like 7 different ways

>>384926483
1.- you must have never played clasic rpg if you think that the BD dungeons are the same
2.- most of the bosses are hard to impossible if you didn't do jack shit in job composition and strats (ex: rusalka and rosa.)
3.- A modern twist to the classic formula that makes the game more fast and quick.
>>384926574
Is that also true for the sequel? I dropped it some time ago and can't find the motivation to continue. Last major part I remember was the onsen village and the cat lady.
>>384926574
The memeloop is the least of the problems in terms of gameplay in BD's case. The classes are great, the designs are great and the aesthetics and graphics are great. The rest ranges from terrible to mediocre, including the Default/Brave system. Music is subjective to taste but I thought it was mostly good.
>>384926682
I thought they polled the general public and got the opposite result, though. Either way, I just feel kind of cheated. Don't try to write a quest like it's going to present some major moral dilemma if you're not willing to follow through, you know?
>>384927115
>you must have never played clasic rpg if you think that the BD dungeons are the same
I did. I played FF5 when I was a child. Why would I want play watered down copy of it now that I'm an adult?

>three sisters fight during the Conjurer asterisk quest
>>384926574
>Story actually starts being interesting instead of being generic JRPG #7293
I wish I could refute this but I don't remember the story at all to make a case.
>>384926959
unless you get into hours in analyzing the job and abilities options (or you know, seeing a guide). it is not very clear what can break the flow of the game. I personally never liked the idea of touching too much the abilities or the class composition of my team, I just picked up what it could work.
Also, if you don't catch or don't like the story, of course, that part is going to be frustrating as everything is repetitive in that perspective.
Also avoid saying spoilers.
>>384927504
well, what I could say then? it changes how the flow of the game can go? It helps to end quicker easy fight? it makes some abilities very dangerous with the brave system? i can go and go and go on.
>>384927115
>>384927115
>A modern twist to the classic formula that makes the game more fast and quick
It's like you work at IGN. Or you gave money to Igarashi.
>>384928126
that picture almost brings me a tear to the eye.
how sad.
>>384919993
>This game is either loved or hated in this board, why?
It seems to depend entirely on how much you enjoy repeated grinding battles, to the exclusion of everything else. If you love the battles and the job options, then you probably enjoyed the game. If you were interested in story, characters, motivations, plot, or anything else, then the game became tedious and disappointing.
>>384928530
>character are bad
>Edea and Ringabell
i would exclude that sir.
>>384927210
Haven't played it the music was one of the best parts in BD 1 so Revo being gone makes me hesitant to buy it.
>>384926959
>>he likes reused assets
Never said that
>>he thinks the combat is fun when the end game is where you can break the battle system in half and become a god in like 7 different ways
Figuring out ways to become a god IS fun. Seems like you just went to gamefaqs to find the game breaking combo's instead of figuring them out yourself.
>>he thinks watching four morons take forever to realize the fairy is playing them like a fiddle is 'interesting'
This is a valid complaint. The first half's story felt really generic to me so trying something different in the timeloop parts made it more interesting for me
>Stop posting anytime.
Rude!
>>384928748
Those two were ok but they can't carry such a long game.
>>384928530
>If you were interested in story, characters, motivations, plot, or anything else
I was also interested in this and, for a 3DS JRPG, was more impressed than disappointed.
The only thing I consider UNACCEPTABLE tier in BD/S is Yew+Magnolia's shitty forced romance.
>>384923025
well if you liked the story of the first game, maybe you should buy it. just beware that the the 1/3 is slow. and yew isa whiny girly bitch, but you will like him as the story goes onExpect a lot from Edea.
Also the new jobs are cool.
>>384929051
oh i was totally angry that magnolias wasn't herself for the whole FUCKING GAMEFOR FUCKS SAKE BS, I WANTED A SASSY GIRL CHARACTER BUT NOOOOOOO. YOU HAD TO APPEASE THE WEEBS WITH A COMEDY ROMANCE.
>>384929110
It's better than Kingdom Hearts at least
>>384929518
Same. Design wise I thought she was lovely so it was shame to see her so daffy for such a flimsy reason. Would have much rather had her as a Cool Big Sis or something.

They're not wrong. KH has spread itself too thin and too long. Maybe the same thing will happen to BD if it ever gets that level of love from SE, but I doubt it.
>>384933113
>edea is the best physical attacker
>implying that matters
I finished BD with Valkyrie Agnes, Thief Tiz, Spiritmaster Edea, and Templar Ringabel. Stat biases don't mean shit.
>>384935326
but why wouldn't you let Edea be a badass?
>>384935907
Because I needed a healer and she looked the cutest in the Spiritmaster outfit. Besides, she was basically unkillable and could dole out top-level heals like candy by the time I was done with her, so she was still a badass, just in a different way.
>>384921007

>>384936839
This is true
>>384935326

She should stop being so adorable in glasses if she wants to be the best at something other than healing, then.

Yeah, Ninja Edea's cute, but I already had Tiz optimized for speedy DPS by the time I got it.
>>384939510

Boy you are special.
>yfw all the character themes start playing in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLBTIUzPpEQ
I'm 40 hours in and I just saved the child who is now leading me to the Fire Vestal am I even close to the end of the game?
I really like the music so far. Particularly the boss fight music and dungeon music. The costumes for the different jobs are all great as well.
>>384941029

>and it has a knife
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mndn3PGSOQ0
>>384942848you are at most 5/8.
>>384919993
I liked it, but I didn't play through the game for all the loops. I hit the second time around, looked up what happened then moved onto Second. I ain't got the time to play through the shit so many times. So far I'm not liking Second as much as Default, the new classes are nice though but RIP my big favorite spell fencer.
>>384943141you get a similar job later on, also the last third does get good on the story part.
>>384943325
If you're talking about Hawkeye's ability to infuse elements into your weapons then I already have it. It's nice but not infuse with drain, go into a counter stance and have a ninja point enemy attacks at you nice. I hear drainblade was OP as fuck on Dark Knight, I wish I had tried it out. Too bad you get Dark Knight right as the first loop ends, I might've fucked with that a bit.
>>384933303
>he doesn't Jump

>>384933113
>>edea is the best physical attacker
AYOOOOOOO HOL UP the characters have different base stats?. I was just giving asterisks to whoever i felt like it would fit better with they personality
>>384919993
>384919993
Hated the fact you had to reawaken the crystals if they had different bosses for each would be so much better
>>384946240
They are negligible differences, but yeah certain characters are skewed toward a role. Edea is phys attack.
Check the stats screen, their base stats are listed in parenthesis.

Go to /vg/ and look for the emulation general. They have a useful pastebin all about this shit.
But last time I checked, you'll need either a real 3DS to get some files for the emulator to work, or find somewhere that has them. It is a pain in the ass and I think it doesn't support controllers yet.
>>384948234
Thanks dude, you rock.
>>384947249
Tell me more
>>384948718
there are guides on how to use broken strats, but i prefer that you get strats of your own.
I never did beat Bravely Default. Ah, fuck it, I'm gonna play it again. What's a good ability setup for Tiz as a Dark Knight?
>>384948850
Monk/D. Knight with self resurrect ability from the vampire and one that does damage every time you die.
Stack 3BP and attack with phoenix flight and minus strike. After that spam minus strike until you die. Every time you die you do more damage and may resurrect yourself on the same turn.
This has been on my mind for a while now, but why didn't Edea recognize Ringabel? She and Alternis had been together since childhood, you'd think she would remember what he looked like. It's not like he wore the helmet for his entire life.
when alternis became a knight, he never removed his helmet, so Edea knew his face from childhood, but not from teens and adulthood. Also, ringabell being... ringabell.
>>384948171
Indeed. And it's good to see his style influence people sometimes.
>>384949160
sorry forgot to tag you. >>384949421
>>384949159
Damn, I wasn't expecting a response. Thanks! What job should I have Ringabel as? I always had him as a Thief/Ranger, but I wanted to mix things up this time around.
>>384949421
Never removed the helmet? That's stupid. You telling me he ate and drank through the helmet for the majority of his life?
>>384949646
he is a great magic user. that is all i can say
>>384949697
well, when he was on duty anyways or who the fuck knows. And Edea sure never saw his face from that moment.
>>384949736
Oh. I never thought of that. Guess I'll have him as a Black Mage early on, then. Thanks again, btw. I've always loved job system games, but I'm ass at figuring out optimal combinations.
>>384949896
black is bland, use time mage and then occultist later on.
>>384949697
Why do you think the Dark Knight has S on helmets?
>>384949646
Dunno, i used monk/DK on ringabel and had tiz in charge of the magic. Maybe Templar/Sword master for counter attacks, put on the red mage trait to build BP and cast that barrier sometimes
>>384919993
The game does something that you can either take as a great bit of storytelling structure or a great big fuck you to the player.

What do you expect? People nowadays don't like seeing repercussions for their actions unless they're good results. If you get a slap to the face for being a shit, people get mad at the game even though they should be able to realize "If I act shit, shit is going to get even more shit"

It's a polarizing game. Some, like myself, can forgive it for the shitty loops because of that sweet Final Fantasy 5 gameplay. Others can't really look past the loops and deem it shitty.
I'm pretty sure almost 100% of this board would like it if they didn't pad the game with groundhog day shit.
>>384974834
Both are fine, plus I don't care for the bigger tits in the fixed version, Edea isn't meant to be top-heavy
