This game is kicking my ass and I'm only at chapter 2.
Anyone have any tips? I just unlocked the Summoner job after getting oneshot by her summon like 5 times in a row.

Monk.

Monk or Dragoon, spam brave, attack everything

Knight can do some really funny shit if you max it and freelancer

>>712726637
This. Monk comes with the ability that allows you to do extra damage per hit in exchange for a little less defense. Chain 4 of those together and most bosses go to heaven.

>>712726928
Monk sucks, in my opinion. I made a team of 4 black mages and have just been nuking things down. The Black Resonance ability is OP as fuck.

Is this coming to Steam?

>>712727258
Give it 6 months.

>>712727258
There's no announcement yet. If they do port it to PC eventually, they'll probably remove the new minigames since those require both joycons in mouse mode.

>>712727258

Hits damage cap and is nigh immune to physical damage and highly resistant to magic

>>712726042 (OP)
Is the remaster censored too?

>>712726042 (OP)
Ugly art style omg

>>712727670
The western version is.
The Japanese one isn't AND it comes with the english text and audio as an option kek.

>>712727670
>>712727784
Yep, squenix straight up giving the finger to cucked westerners.

>>712727784
>The Japanese one isn't AND it comes with the english text and audio as an option kek.
lol

Already played it on citra, its great, merchant is my favorite class.

i'll just wait for the pc version so that i can play at 4k

>>712727832

>>712727201
Just how terrible are most abilities in the game if a 20% buff is “OP as fuck”?

>>712727997
actually scratch that, it's vampire(blue mage) but it unlocks in late game sadly.

>>712728238

>>712728005
The Switch 2 version is already running at 4k
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aNIJFHCH94
>>712728152
1. This is a passive ability
2. That's 20% for each of the 4 characters
3. Then multiply that by 4 for each character since they can "brave" to use 4 attacks in a turn
That's 320% of an attack that you get for FREE

>playing the censored inferior version of a censored game

Why?
Grab the uncensored rom from here and emulate it on the 3DS

https://hshop.erista.me/t/21499

>>712728509
The Japanese version of the Switch 2 release is uncensored. And you can play at 4k instead of 240p.

>3DS game with chibi models
>the GG movement is still throwing a fit about censorship
Meanwhile I had to endure the sage making all kinds of rapey comments since being a molester is apparently his entire personality. Not sure what’s being censored here. Are we supposed to masturbate to these cabbage patch things in some way?

Is it against ToS to change the region of my Nintendo account to purchase something from the Japanese eshop?
Or do I need to make a second account tied to the Japanese eshop from the very beginning?

>>712729653
>Is it against ToS to change the region of my Nintendo account to purchase something from the Japanese eshop?
No, Nintendo even tells you how to do it. Just go to your account settings and set your residence to Japan. The catch is that payment methods don't work cross-region, so you'll have to buy a Japanese eshop gift card off Playasia or Amazon or something.

>>712730000
So I can't just charge my NSO account with money before hand and then switch regions?

>>712729636
>who cares anyway
Fuck off tranny, I want my bravo bikini

>>712729653
Create a spare account and that's it. Don't bother with changing account regions, you can still play them with an American one

>>712727726
seethe tranny

Guess the JP keycard copy looking very valuable right now huh

Did they make the second half of the game tolerable? Dropped years ago because of it.

>>712726042 (OP)
Just default and then brave

>>712726042 (OP)
Isn't this the just same game but better graphics?

>>712728385

Right, cool, can you show battles then and it maintaining the 60fps?

>>712736554
>buying a Switch 2 for the Bravely Default remaster
lol

>>712726042 (OP)
You don't have many broken combos this early into the game.
Give the two-handed skills to any phys attackers, it's great pretty much all game long.
Two handed + sword magic(hitting enemy weakness) hits pretty hard at this point.

I remember thief and ranger hitting pretty hard since bows are strong and the extra hits from high AGI increase your damage quite a bit.

>>712727258
Why, just download a 3DS emulator.

>>712728385
He means real 4k.

>>712726637
Monkbros stay winning.

>>712726042 (OP)
you're supposed to farm levels in games like this.

>>712727258
Someone explained to Mr Square Enix Goya san that they could mod the game to be uncensored on PC and he was so angry the big throbbing vein on his head burst and he ripped up his office with his big 2 inch long claws.

>>712727258
It's Square-Enix so yeah probably.
Only third-party Japanese dev that doesn't port to PC (out of spite) nowadays is Vanillaware.

>>712736886
Not by Nintendo, but Square Enix has different rules when releasing games in the west

AI generate the crystals

>>712727201
Wait until you see the ability that doubles your HP. You can make your whole team virtually unkillable since damage caps at 9999 but HP doesn't.
Also allows someone to Minus Strike for 9999 over and over without being anywhere near critical condition.

>>712744991
Yeh so nintendo force censored the game again.

>>712745051
Why even bother with a pixelart style if it's just going to look artifact'd to shit?

what did they do for the final TWEEST in the final battle?

>>712743584
Why do Japs love censorship so much? Like, just get laid, my guy.

>>712727283
After that, six additional months until Denuvo is removed. So in short, 2027 or 2028 so we can mod stuff in.
>>712747713
CERO Ratings have changed a lot in recent years, forcing Japan to censor a lot more stuff.

>>712747713
Apparently their obscenity laws are very strict, but also very literal.

>>712747557
To hide that it's AIslop because sloppers are very ashamed of their slop

Time mage + the final passive that adds 1BP per turn + high jump spam
There you go you have beaten the game besides like one or two secret bosses

>>712741007
It is.
Are people surprised that a 3DS port to a console approximately 200-1000 times as strong with mostly 2D backgrounds and very basic models (with barely updated character models) is able to display at 4k 60fps?

>>712745051
jesus christ how do you even GET gens this bad wtf

>>712738678
You buy the Switch 2 for Mario Kart. The Bravely Default 2 HD remaster is just a bonus.

I really hope they do a remaster of 2nd. It can't have cost them much to make this given its on keycards and the only new content are done costumes from 2nd + the two mini games.
The two good games of the series being locked to the 3DS for over a decade now has been a crime. They decided not to do a full remake so just get 2nd over to the 3DS and the series can move on with 3rd or 3 or 2 2nd or whatever they do next

>>712749532
i like pixels

>>712750940
They scrapped all content related to BS because japan hated it that much(they even pretended it didn't exist during the anniversary of the series), it's not happening.

>>712743291
no you don't, just get good

>>712726042 (OP)
I'm gonna grab this when it goes on sale. SE discounts their games so often

I enjoyed BD1.
How is End Layer and BD2?

>>712726042 (OP)
Idle for a bit and buy strong equipment from Norende

>>712750940
Meant "over from the 3DS", but regardless
I also hope the next game they keep the chibi models to the overworld, party chats, and mini games. The FF4 (DS) style character models made sense on the 3DS and let it run well, and I don't think they should do away with it entirely, but it's time to make the jump to a style closer to X or XIII for battles and cutscenes.
>>712751331
Shame, I think 2nd is better than 2 and deserves to at least be experienced even if it obviously doesn't come close to 1.

>>712751502
End Layer's writing is terrible but it has the best gameplay in the series. BD2 is extremely mediocre all around. The turn system was changed to character based instead of round based.

>>712751617
BS fucking sucks, that "team of writers" ruined Magnolia's potential and created that annoying little shit called Yew and made that his family was fucking important to the original game plot, mary sue assholes. Everyone hated them, Magnolia NEVER got a single doujin despite her dynamite design, done by the same artist that created fucking 2B, people really hated how she was nothing but a bimbo that sucks that faggot yew's dock.

What are some other games where the main fun is messing around with job/subjob combos?
Other than the obvious FF5/FFT.

>>712727784
>>712727832
>>712728102
What is even the fucking point of censoring it then? Fuckin whatever though I guess. If they're gonna churn out censored garbage for the NPC western audiences but still give people the choice to buy a different fucking version to get the intended experience, then I GUESS that works too.

>>712751885
MGQ Paradox

>>712751502
>BD2
Better than Octopath Traveler 1 and 2, but nothing amazing. The cast is very mid, which brings down the game as a whole
Unfortunately I have a feeling the studio is going to go all in on Octopath given it was more successful than BD2, but I know the team is way more invested in the Bravely universe so maybe they'll keep releasing the games

>>712751885
Metaphor Refantazio has a pretty great job system, even if it pretty heavily wants to railroad the party members into the ideal path to get to their end game jobs.

>>712751873
>people who extrapolate an entire personality out of 3 lines of dialogue
>still ala vache anguished 10 years later

>>712751885
The Rad Codex games let you muck around with classes, subclasses, and passives with your custom party.

>>712751885
Crystal Project.

>>712752268
The secret movie was mode than "three lines", it gave loads of ideas that BS scrapped like the ba'ls being plot relevant (they were reduced to an extra), being set in the far future (LMAO only two years passed), Magnolia being the new MC (cucked by the faggot Yew).

>>712726042 (OP)
Don't try the usual 3dps + heal/support, support is a fulltime job here and totally worth it (IIRC there are no good supports early game but keep it in mind)
Brave / Default is the name of the game, almost every boss has a big damage turn + a few weak turns so defend during their bigdick damage turns, setup your damage dealers and go all out the next turn.
For party comp aim for something like:
>physical damage dealer
>magic damage dealer
>support /heal
>support /heal

>>712752739
Time mage is pretty early game and is arguably the best support in the game

>>712753119
Isn't time mage pretty worthless until you get comet/meteor?

>>712726042 (OP)
Idk if they changed any boss mechanics, but a vast majority of bosses use physical dmg in the original. If you have Paladin already, use at least 1 in your party for their aoe protection. Unlock Chemist ASAP, it's the most OP class in the game, albeit I say that because on the 3DS there's a Streetpass shop that made getting mats for it easy. Take last bit with a grain of salt.

>>712751885
Metaphor Refantazio kinda

>>712751885
FF12 kind of?

>>712751885
Dragon Quest 6 and 7 depending on your definition of job and sub job.
You keep all abilities from every class you take in those two.

>>712754212
lol

>>712753462
The passives are amazing start to finish so it's worth leveling right away
That said I think tier 3 (veil + gravity) is when the active skills start to shine

>>712726042 (OP)
Playing it on my 3DS, just unlocked the Summoner job.
How did Edea took so long to realize that the people of the Duchy of Eternia were being evil. Every one from there so far acts like a completely psycho.

>>712755357
She's always known some are batshit and some are good people. There's some nice new lore the switch 2 version drops that gives a background experience of her first real field experience
It's a big tent

>>712755357
If I recall, the explanation is that she's spent the bulk of her training close to her father, who's one of the few people in the country who isn't a psychopath. Her father knows that his "trusted knights" are monsters, but believes their support is necessary to complete his mission - and that their fear/respect of him is enough to keep them in line around his daughter. Unfortunately, he grossly underestimated just how freaky those freaks actually are, so when Edea catches an eyeful of how they act when her dad's not around, she comes to the correct assumption that the knights are monsters and promptly defects, believing her country can have nothing good planned if it relies on the likes of them.

Grabbing the JP version mite be interesting, especially as I'll be flying to Japan next year. If I get the Key Card version, it'll just download the needed files and I can play it with my current account, right? No need for a JP nintendo account?

Pls add me so we can summon each other. I really liked that about the opening week of the 3ds version. All my friends from /v/ were going along and getting stronger at the same time as me and it was cool.

>>712726042 (OP)
So, how did they manage the augmented reality segments and Streetpass integration?

>>712756952
Sent, I'm KS
I have a garbage summon right now since none of my friends play this game but I'll update it to something not shit lmao

>>712757402
I suppose I'll post mine as well for anyone that wants to add me for BD

>>712727875
If I buy the Japanese Key Card from PlayAsia, will it download the Japanese version on a US Switch?

>>712731298
underage

what stops me to spam default every fight?

>>712758086
Yes.
You can also create a Japanese Switch account and buy from the Japanese e-shop

>>712752073
They really should have just added a "western" toggle that adds in the censored slop

>>712758119
Uh, that guard does no damage?
You want to brave dump whenever the enemy is recovering, then brave dump into the negatives when you feel you can finish them off

>>712758330
I'd rather buy the key card to resell in case the PC release is bravely uncensored by default.

>>712729636
>le gg boogeyman
journos lost, trannies lost, I WILL jerk off to girls in bikinis in my videogames

>>712758441
Ideally they should have had both variants in the game. Spats are nice, too.

Why are the spells in the Ancheim shop listed as level 3 when they're level 2?

>>712758569
so no "real" benefits for accumulate points just play as any other rpg?

>>712727258
Inevitably.

>>712758441
Chibis are child coded, so if you include the uncensored versions in any fashion, then ESRB is gonna FREAK.

>>712758696
Yea that's why I liked when Monolithsoft added the Smash censored outfits to XC2 as options. Mythra's leggings outfit is pretty nice

>>712727258
I’m hopeful it comes to non Nintendo platforms but it took awhile for Octopath (even longer for Octopath on Ps5, like legitimately 5+ years)
Triangle Strategy also never left switch so I have no idea

>>712727412
most PC's have a mouse attached you know

>>712758814
You're going to be forced into using items, debuffs, buffs etc
It's a balancing act. The ideal is to wait for the enemy to go negative but it doesn't always work out that way, and you'll also have to eventually use youe built up actions regardless or you'll be wasting them sitting at 3

>>712759096
Triangle strategy is on steam (and meta quest for some reason lmfao)
It tends to be 6 month timed exclusivity for Nintendo and multi year console exclusivity.

>>712759152
You need two mice for the ship and rhythm mini games.
Deltarune is a sinilar example where a boss has two totally different types of mini games for switch 2 and other platforms because of the dual mice thing

>>712759019
ESRB hasn't given a shit about teenagers in bikinis ever. The soccer moms who do the ratings are normal, well-adjusted adults so it gets put under 'partial nudity' or 'suggestive themes' and they give a T rating

>>712759152
Yeah, but I don't know of any operating system that lets you use 2 at the same time

>>712726042 (OP)
that's a child

15.

I forgot how insufferable the DeRosa boss was and how you had to micromanage his fucking BP or else he'd start dread and charm spamming your team

>>712762039
I remember cheesing him with a 4 valkyrie team and spamming jump to condense all my damage in less attacks

>>712726042 (OP)
What's remastered about it?
Kind of wish I never sold my 3DS copy but the game kinda sucked besides the OST so whatever.

>>712760840
>suddenly

>the occasional "coded" letter that you have to read backwards

>>712758115
out of 10!

>>712763780
60fps, 4k(? Some claim it's just 1080p), updated backgrounds, much better sound quality

>>712763954
So no significant gameplay improvements? Was hoping they'd rework the whole "loop the same game 7 times in a row" thing.
Oh well.

Guess I'll look forward to the updated music on youtube.

That lance class with the spellblade subclass is what i used to demolish everything on the 3ds version. one of the aoe moves the dragoon class can delete enemies when buffed with whatever they are weak too. makes grinding easy. BD is the only FF game i ever hit lvl 99 with all characters. Probably wont be rebuying this though, the second half is a slog and upscaled graphics wont change that.

>>712751885
FF X-2
Octopath Traveller

>>712758119
nothing really. that's actually the best way to go about every fight unless you can get a OTK.

Dark Knight plus spell blade. Put drain on blade, spam dark knight moves that use HP. Win game.

>>712727412
are they new? i thought they were just touchscreen before

>>712766262
I forgot the full setup but the strategy of Hasten World + Stillness made it mathematically impossible to lose.

How was 2? I played the demo before release and that it was ok, never played full game though

>>712771565
They will never make Bravely Default 3, they will make a direct sequel to BD1 that retcons BS and use a name with no numbers to avoid the clusterfuck of Second/2

>>712759497
Any reason why 2 analog sticks or WASD+mouse wouldn't work? Like every other fucking game?

>>712771565
They should rewrite bravely second first

>>712745051
This looks like that YuGiOh card

Like I've said, strict, but literal. Hence black bars or tessellations that basically cover nothing. Supposedly that's why so many doujins have elves or catgirls - there are (or were) restrictions about what authors can depict human beings doing, but works about nonhumans can be as gross as they like.

naw Bravely Default 2 (not Bravely Second, which was a 3DS title) was a switch release. The Bravely Default remaster as of right now is a Switch 2 exclusive.
