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

Same and same, I just realized I haven't shut off my 3DS in days because I've been letting Norende build overnight. >.>
I think Agnes is just the worst overall. In chapters 1 and 2 I thought it was just her voice that annoyed the crap out of me, but I'm beginning chapter 3 now and I realize everything she says just pisses me off. Maybe her character gets better later. I hope so anyway, because I've always wanted to like her - she's so pretty, and she's the vestal and everything, but every time she opens her mouth I'm just like "why do you talk, Agnes".
Tiz and Edea are my favorites - I think I like Tiz a little more. He just seems so genuinely sweet and kind to me. He and Edea are both rather selfless, and fight for what they think is right and wrong.
Which is why I hate Agnes even more for throwing that fit when Edea told her about who she was at the beginning of chapter 3. I get her suspicions and why she's not eager to trust her, but is it not obvious that Edea has sacrificed so much to help her and her cause? I know Agnes is a frigid shrew from all her years of living in the temple, but it still surprises me how unappreciative and rude she can be sometimes.
Though I suppose I should stop being so hard on her, she is trying to save the world and all.
I liked Agnes' design the best, but she quickly ended up being my least favourite character too >_> Part of it is definitely her voice. Tiz talks a bit too slow IMO, but maybe it's because he's use to living a calm life as a farmer.
Edea and Ringabel keep things interesting xD
I typed something up but I was thinking of another dragon >_>
Anyway looks like that dragon is weak to Water, and immune to fire. Early in the game, I found that status-causing spells have such low accuracy it wasn't worth trying :/ If you make more than 1 person a black mage, you get a boost in black magic, which is helpful. You can spam Blizzard!
I can't really remember this boss that well :c Sorry!
If you're having issues you can always try grinding a bit more (auto-battle is a blessing here)

This. The time spent grinding is cut down immensely with auto-battle as long as your team is able to defeat the enemies in one turn (x4 Brave), in addition to that you'll get EXP and JP bonuses. I personally didn't feel the need to actually grind until late-chapter 4.
I took a week break from playing because I couldn't bother with the Vampire sub-quest and I didn't want to proceed with the main storyline until I obtained the asterisk. (school and work were also a factor lol). Those dragons were a pain =_=. Now I'm lacking the motivation to go through the Vampire Castle because I heard it's near 7 floors........no thanks.
The story is pretty good imo, it just gets a tad repetitive towards the end.
I'm approaching the end and I'm kind of burnt out >_> I want to finish, but I'm getting destroyed by the bosses now lol so I'm taking some time off to focus on school...I'll probably get back into it after exams.
The music is so good though, if you can, play with headphones on!
I agree! It's actually a pretty straightforward dungeon, it shouldn't take you that long! But the DeRosso is pretty strong @_@ I liked the castle though, since it added some background info, which made the plot make a bit more sense.
Thanks 
I think I'll turn off encounters and run through the castle. I'll update my monster encyclopedia afterwards to conserve items and save a trip back to the inn. Hopefully I won't have too much trouble with my party being lv56.

I've been playing this a lot within the past five or so days. I'm about halfway through chapter 5 right now. I was going at a pretty fast pace but it's slowed down a lot since hitting chapter 5. I've been spending the majority of my time grinding now. I still enjoy the game a lot more than I thought I would.

Oh to get into the castle?
There's this super neat trick if you have the ninja job leveled to 4 and the red mage leveled to 3. And it totally works with the dragons.
1) Have everyone have Turn Tables (Red Mage lv4) as a skill point.
2) Have everyone have at least Ninja leveled to 4 to have Utsusemi.
3) Be whatever class you're going to do it with, but with Ninja as the secondary. However, it is recommended to do it as a Ninja, because you'll have the speed advantage.
4) Brave once. First move: Utsusemi. Second move: auto-attack or some other attack.
5) Auto-play to victory.
The reason this works is because Utsusemi will ALWAYS dodge a physical attack. Turn Tables will give you 1 BP if you evade an attack. All of the dragons' attacks are physical, so you will always dodge them, given your characters are faster than the dragons.
Of course, Transience (Ninja lv2), Counter Amp (Swordmaster lv9), and Comeback Kid (Ninja lv5) will speed up the process.
This will also work for any other bosses or mobs that have solely physical attacks: Praline a la Mode, Barras, Heinkel, etc
Red mage is obtained in the area after Anchiem.
I think vodkasmizmar is referring to a different dragon for a different sidequest. xD

Oooh, sorry! I didn't know there was an earlier dragon quest. Yeah, I'm talking about the vampire dragon quest. Sorry for the confusion!
No worries, I was confused about it earlier too lol. The rainbow thread dragon felt so long ago xD
It really depends: what kind of games do you like?
I've put in more than 50 hours into it so far personally (playing on normal mode), and I'm not done yet. I'm not sure what the average play-time is, though.
