After dropping the game twice, I decided to finally try to beat Bravely Default (so then I can play the Second demo)

..and I beat it! (sort of)

Not liking to leave unfinished quests behind, I have been fighting all the optional bosses since chapter 5 but despite being level ~65 I still had difficulty fighting some of them (which, along with the terrible story, made me drop the game) So this time to make things easier, I decided to play on Easy just to beat the game.

Story repitition is terrible in order to pad out the game and fighting the same bosses over and over isn't very interesting despite seeing some changes in pairings with the optional ones. Learning that using x too much could destroy the crystal, I tested it out and found out that it actually lead to the destruction of the crystal and jumps to the finale. However, since I wanted to finish all the side bosses first, I decided to take this route for the last crystal in chapter 7. The plot twist is a neat idea, breaking the conventional 4 crystals to save the world jrpg but the story itself was rather bad. (Was spoiled too so that didn't help, thanks Basil..) Having an optional route was a neat idea too  

However, the game itself is good so rather than beating the game for the sake of beating it, I have been taking my time to get things like genome abilities and mastering many classes. Have logged over 80 hours and will continue to beat the game through the normal route (am on chapter 8 now..)

Ha I stopped playing at that part aswell, was just a huge turn off. I've been playing on hard which only made it even more tedious. Turning it to easy to speed through it is a great idea so thanks for the tip!

Do you think Nintendo will restock the FE Fates special edition after its release, or it's just a thing of launch? The demand is there, but the stock ain't. How is it going in NA and Japan?

Probably not since here in Canada, there were no restocks..

Yeah, Bravely Default is 2/3 great and 1/3 unforgivably bad.  And the way it does it is just insulting.  You get to the whole bit where everyone knows that you know who is not what you think and the title screen changes, it's like the plot just stops and then when you reach one of the endings it's like everyone snaps out of some sort of walking coma and starts using their brains again.  The game would be enormously improved by just cutting out that whole section of the game but no, the devs felt some kind of arbitrary obligation to reach an arbitrary minimum length to get into the big boys club.

 

Edit:  Also, WHY THE HECK DO THESE BOSSES STOP GIVING EXP?!

Yes, with all those boss fights, I would have been able to max level by now so it's weird that they only give you JP...

At least give some gold as well.. :/

But with Obliterate, it's pretty easy to farm exp, jp and gold

Splatoon servers are down for maintenance, so not much longer now!



Mike321 on 12 April 2016

Speaking of Splatoon, since a lot of streamers play after an update we should do a full squad to appear on someone's stream .
