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

Today is the day! I'll be picking my CE up at lunch however won't be playing until tonight. :c
Spoiled myself by watching the Nintendo unboxing because I couldn't wait any longer, haha. I'm bummed out by the artbook being softcover but I suppose it's better than nothing at all, and the amount of content [kind of] makes up for the FE:A artbook bonus. Lol
 
I got really lucky. I missed the preorder window as it was sold out everywhere by sunday/monday. I gambled on Best Buy possibly having CE copies shipped to the store on release day. I got there early and waited for the store to open. In the video games section there was no BD copies at all. I had a really hard time tracking down an employee and ended up bothering a geek squad employee to check. Turns out, someone else already tasked him with getting them a CE copy of the same game.

I waited for what seemed like forever, hoping they a) had the CE, and b) had enough for two customers. As it happens, fortune was with me, as the store had exactly 2 CE copies in the back. I feel really lucky, and partially guilty as all those neweggers had theirs cancelled on them last minute. I have to say I'm really impressed with the CE. I wasn't expecting as many AR cards, and the detail of the art on most of them. It's also really cool that it has its own deck box to keep them in. The art book is super cool and really classy. I haven't listened to the sound track as I've been busy playing.

I hope this game is as good as the demo made it seem. I'm super stoked and really enjoy the game so far. I'm kinda wondering if the music is made by the same folx who made the music for Ni No Kuni. I swear sometimes I can barely tell the difference.
 
My copy is in amazon's wearhouse somewhere... hopefully I'll get it sometime next week.

Congrats to everyone who found a copy so far!

edit: amazon says it's "Preparing for Shipment"...that's a good sign, I guess?? :|

I'm on Chapter 3, about to tackle Sub-Quest 8. Really loving the game so far. Really enjoyed 4 Heroes of Light so I'm really happen they drastically innovated it's formula. I was expecting the voices to be piercing, but while they aren't great, I'd call them average for a JRPG. Job system is really delightful: I'm running Tiz Pirate/Thief, Agnes Ranger/White Mage, Edea Spell Fencer/Valkyrie, and Ringabel Black Mage currently, but I have at least one of every job I have currently around Lv. 12. Really enjoy that auto battle command and 100+ encounter rate though--makes grinding bearable. I'm sitting at a comfortable Lv 50 for everyone.

Collector's Edition was worth every penny.
 
I got the Collector's Edition. Just fully restored Norende and am in the middle of Chapter 3. I love this game! I agree that the VA is average and the job system is my favorite aspect.

I'm almost done restoring Norende too! Still at chapter 2 though lol.

I think Agnes's voice is the most annoying but their voices don't bother me very much. I like Edea's the best. Especially her mrgrgr bit haha.
 
Edea's voice got some sass. I love listening to Ringabel too. Their party chats are so cute. Does anyone know how the ...ribbon/badge thing works in the Friends menu? When you first start out, you're a bronze freelancer. I'm a Thief Cutpurse now. Does it just reflect your highest job level? I tried looking this up and it seems my google-fu failed.

screw that dragon. that mushes you in two turns

great game, still but grindfest dot com
 
I'm nearing the end of Chapter 3. I really like it so far. What level are people at relative to their progress in the game? I think I'm at an average level of 40, facing the boss inside Grandship. Although, I don't know ... the boss is really hard for me and even the trash in the Grandship engine hits me pretty hard ...
 
I'm level 68 midway through Chapter 4, trying to tackle the Vampire Sub Quest, and that barely cuts it. When I was in the Grandship I was around level 60. I advise turning up the encounter rate to 100, setting up auto-battle, and just going to town grinding somewhere, because there are some really difficult boss fights in Chapter 4 that gave me difficulty even at my level.
 
I love this game! The soundtrack is to die for!

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". :mad:

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. :p
