Bravely Default: Where the Fairy Flies [Please use spoiler tags]


Hmm that's a shame...I kind of think the censored versions look better >_> but I can see why people would get angry about it. I'm not surprised either. Hopefully the story isn't changed too drastically. I wish we got a few more examples or an example of how the dialogue changed.


Also, has anyone beaten the dragon yet? ):
I figured out that it's weak to water attacks but only the 3rd level black magic one does any real damage D; gotta grind for job points now... Ugh.

Nothing much has changed aside from the costume and character age revisions as far as I know. Sometimes direct translations don't make sense in English so I doubt the toned down innuendos will be noticeable... I'm not going to make something as little as this take away from my experience with the game let alone the decision of purchasing it. That doesn't mean I support censorship btw, though it could have easily been solved with a Mature content rating. I prefer Edea's costume revision anyway. It would have been amusing to see this in game however. I heard it's been completely removed from the EU/NA versions; not even viewable if a JP player is using the costume.

I finished the demo earlier today and have been working on restoring Norende. Had Agnes as a Performer and used Love Power before braving, brought up my physical damage to ~300+ per hit with each unit.
 
I hope I'm not the only one who was completely clueless as to what to do in the beginning?

They usually bump up the ages of characters in western releases too, so I don't think age is a big concern. Agne's weird belt swimsuit is interesting lol. And that Ringabel picture o_o Equal opportunity fanservice, I guess? :/

Still having issues with the dragon -.- I'll try using physical attacks next because even everyone using 4x brave with blizzaras isn't enough to take it down. I was doing around 220 damage per character too :(

Kill the panther-looking monsters to farm the items that the lady is after! Just wander in circles outside of the town so you can go heal when your characters are running low on HP.

After you finish the quest there will be another person in town with another quest you can accept. There will be an exclamation mark on the map on the bottom screen to show you where he's standing.

I thought I'd try downloading the demo but I can't remember the password for my ID and I'm not getting the password reset mail. :(

I'm curious about what this game will be like; I've never really played any such games because I'm horrible at them, but this one seems interesting and I think I might like it. So here's hoping I'll be able to reset my password soon. :)

One thing I'm wondering about, however, is if StreetPass is really necessary for this game. I've read a bit about it, but where I live the chances of getting a StreetPass hit are zero and it'd bother me if certain things take longer because of that. :(
 
Right, so I tried reseting my password via my Nintendo 3DS itself and that worked (I was trying to do so via Nintendo's website). I'm currently downloading the demo. :)
 
Loving the demo so far! I love the battle system and I've really enjoyed fighting bosses! So far I've only been able to beat the first, the second one is really strong....Oh well, time to start grinding...
 
Just beat the demo! I managed to pull it off with magic-based attacks after all :D

Now begins the slow restoration of Norende village...

In case anyone hasn't streetpassed anyone else playing the demo, you can get a 2nd villager from an NPC (not sure when though, I just realized this after I beat the 4th boss >_>).
 
loved the demo! (really excited for the game to come out now aaah) also i swear i heard a song from fe:a during the demo

anyway im def getting it but im seeing people refusing to buy the game bc of the MT and censorship im like...omfg ok??
 
Well, I've been playing the demo (almost for two hours now) and I think that this game simply isn't for me. :(

The graphics are great (except the first half hour I played there was like a red flash on my screen every time I was running; I didn't have it when I was walking slowly), but most of the time I simply have no idea what to do.

I managed to complete a quest and I've been talking to all the NPC's, but this game seems like something I'm just not getting/understanding. I'm playing on the Easy Mode yet my party keeps getting wiped out. I've been trying with items but that isn't helping much either.

I found the shops in the city by accident and I'm struggling my way through the commands. I get that this is a demo, but I really wish there was something more of a tutorial (being completely new to this kind of game, I need a "please use short and simple words because I'm stupid, alright?" kind of tutorial :p).

There's so much in this game (like the jobs and what not) that seems so interesting and I really want to like it. But I feel like I need a manual to play (while other people are breezing through this game, so I know it's just me) and that takes away a lot of the fun.

I'm not giving up yet on the demo, but at this rate I doubt I'll buy the full version.

If anyone has any advice or could link me to some easy-to-understand tutorial, I'd be most grateful. :)

Back to playing now...
 
I played the demo but it didn't really stick with me, but I'm going to give it a chance when the full game comes out.


After doing some research I'm very happy about the vampire class. It's pretty much a blue mage, which is my favorite FF class.
 
Played some more and I think I'm finally getting to understand it a little better. The game mechanics could be explained better, though, because most of the stuff I find out by accident. :p Still, yeah, it's obvious this isn't a game I can play without some kind of guide/walkthrough. Anyway, I'm stopping for today.

I'm going to search for a walkthrough later and then continue playing tomorrow. I really need to figure out how the jobs work and which ones would be best, since they would help me a lot (right now they're all White Mages because they have a Self-Healing ability and I chose that since my party kept getting poisoned and I ran out of items to cure them :(). I also need to figure out a better strategy since right now I've been grinding by spamming the Brave option and hoping I don't die (it's working a bit, but I'm sure there are better ways). :)
 
The demo was disappointing. I have played enough RPGs to work out the system fine, but it isn't very fun. I also died on the first battle somehow. Some dragon enemy used a breath thing which did 140 damage to all of my party on the first turn. I'm assuming I shouldn't have even been in that location to begin with if I died that easily.

There wasn't any direction to go, it was just left to "your own devices" which is sometimes good but in this case it isn't. I don't feel an overwhelming success with the brave/default system, it doesn't quite do as well as I expected.
 
Might considering getting it since I love jrpg's but still Nintendo censoring... And I loved the FF job systems so,
 
i got the demo today, it was really fun! kinda reminded me of etrian odyssey/dragon quest
i do agree that they should have explained the game a bit more, but it didn't take long to get used to the controls for me
