I'm only getting started, but I have some reservations about the way information is presented to you in the equipment menus and all the text for the tooltip when your cursor is on a piece of equipment is far too small and really packed together in a way that defeats easy reading, and then you can't see a character's full attributes until you actually select an item in the same way, when you're on the Abilities screen, the only indication of whose abilities you're messing with is their name in small font in the bottom right corner, as well as a few pixels high picture of their head there's lots of little steps back in this way. I'm still hype for it, the Bravely series was basically created in a lab to appeal to me, but this kind of throws me off

RunawayPantleg posted:That....feels like a significant change to the fundamental way the battle system plays out. I think you could also set up pre-arranged attack rotations for clearing out trash fights if you didn't want to turn off enemy encounters. No enemy slider combined with inability to do a pre-loaded attack rotation and on field enemies is going to make dungeon crawling a slog. Hoping this is still an early representation of the game yeah, I realized at one point that I didn't have the advantage I was used to with the previous games because I couldn't manage the fight as easily by how much BP everyone had

I would guess that you don't learn spells by leveling up jobs in the real game, that'd be a huge step back from the previous games

complaining about cutscenes at the beginning of the game is goofy, it's like fifteen minutes before you can pull up a main menu also I started with a fish in my inventory that mentions luring aquatic monsters into "continuous battle," so it seems maybe there's something like there was in Bravely Second after all?

Ethiser posted:I'm up to that boss that the reviewer was complaining about earlier in the thread and I think they were right. There is a boss that is immune to all physical damage and can only be damaged by purely elemental attacks. I'm stuck in a long battle of attrition where I'll eventually win because my characters all regenerates MP, but it is going to take awhile. I hope I'm just being a huge idiot here, because this seems like a very poorly designed encounter. elemental magic damage or can you use elemental physical attacks? I know the Vanguard can pop people with earth damage

PageMaster posted:What are your early game damage dealers? For bosses it basically comes down to apply poison and survive with me, but after a certain point they can't kill me but I'm hammering out fractions of the poison damage with my other classes. Vanguard does ok thanks to a strong weapon drop, but my monk feels feels incredibly weak, even with the unarmed perks, and my mage/bard is stuck on defense buffs and I feel a little unequipped with no way to buff damage or debuff enemy defense. Black Mage has been mediocre for me as I near the end of Chapter 1 but Monk's abilities do great damage if you level it up. Firebird, Qipong Wave, and the heeldrop move all do great damage in exchange for health

I understand if it's just me but I'm kind of glad there isn't a map to pull up during a dungeon because I definitely used to just watch the map screen instead of the game screen as I ran around dungeons. now I have to actually engage with the dungeon

the dungeons in BD1 didn't feel great because you'd end up running through them with the encounters off and not even looking at the actual dungeon, you were looking at your map, which ends up feeling wack. it's good they put the map away

it's more fun to get to know a dungeon and remember which way to go than steering around while looking at your map, which would get you owned in this game because an enemy would come bop you while you're not looking where you're going e: I am hardcore. thank you, Captain Monkey

I think that's more fair to say, although I've been enjoying seeing how they connect with other locations in the world, like (Chapter 2) the sewers dungeon having a midpoint break at the Institute, and then connecting to the research labs. it's neat!

Absolutely bonkers. if you're going BP negative, you have yet to fully unlock the power of Monkzerker... but honestly as of beginning Chapter 4, I've dropped Monk because Amped Strike and Leveled Slash is crushing with Bard buffs

I'm mid-Chapter 4, but I love the (job combo spoilers) combination of Shieldmaster and Swordmaster I've put together, where Adelle can tank hits for everyone with Defender of the People, gain BP, and then on subsequent turns pops Fluid Stance and then Fluid Left to counterattack and take a BP away from the attacker. I've locked down the two occupying commanders I've fought so far in Halcyonia and Savalon this way

Impermanent posted:after a certain point, if you've put any thought into your party's build at all, the only way bosses have any chance of actually using an ability is through counters giving them free bp or whatever, and the counterattacks can be auto-avoided, so i don't know what the people complaining about counters are saying other than "i don't know how to play this game." one of my few complaints is that I wish the info screen on enemies at least told you what kinds of damage they're resistant to or which they absorb

the specialities are very powerful, and adds complexity to building your party for bosses, I'm into it. it feels great when you realize cross-class synergies, such as Swordmaster's second speciality enables the subjob's specialities when you're dualwielding, so now I've got a dualwielding Swordmaster/Berserker who's much faster and whose Level Slash pierces Default and has Full Force behind it. it also feels hard for me to complain about the JP required for level 12 when it's ~1900 and I gain 75 JP a fight in Chapter 5-- I don't even have the Freelancer's JP increasing abilities. that's just a dungeon's worth of fighting, never mind the JP items you get from exploring.
