It's time for Bladeworks' Broken Class Combo Curriculum once again!

Today's subject is Freelancer/Performer, in the support fashion. Performers, for their final skill, get a nice number called My Hero, which gives everyone 1 BP, but costs the user 2. However, with the Freelancer's Mimic skill they get as their final skill, they can recast the last thing they did freely! Add in Hasten World to the character's ability list, and using 4 actions and My Hero and 3 Mimics gives everyone in the party license to go crazy with whatever tricks they want ad nauseum! God I love this game's class system, it's just so fun to break! :gwar:
I've found a better way to generate BP is as follows:

Red Mage and just about anything subbed/mained.

Put the BP Recovery support on everyone in the party, which increases the party's BP by 2 while sustaining a status, then proceed to have a Red Mage with Status Ailment Amp (From Arcanist) and Group Cast All (From Red Mage) do the following:

Poison> Poisna > Poison > Whatever (Possibly another Poisona/Esuna if you feel the need to remove the poison.)

This will generate 4 BP a round for everyone. This doesn't work so well if you have a High MND character in the party (I heal with White Wind, so I don't) or if you need Fairy Ward for a particular fight (but those kinds of fights become increasingly few and far between.)

Found a good combo myself. If you have a Ninja and Swordmaster in your party, you can use Kairai(Ninja) to set the opponent to attack your Swordmaster. Set your Swordmaster to counter magic or Know Thine Enemy if you know it will be physical, depending on who you are facing of course and guaranteed counter every time!

I played the demo for about four hours straight, and just ended up getting horribly fed up at dying over and over and over again whether to random battles or bosses. I got as far as the Dragon, somehow, but that was it because it was more than capable of party-wiping me in one round if it used Brave (which it did, often).

I tried to like this game... I really did, and I can understand why it's constantly so hyped to death. But I'm too bad at it to really consider buying the full thing.

The full game ramps up a lot better than the demo... In fact, the Demo starts you off with a level 1 party fighting the kinds of things you should be fighting at level 6. Once you get over that initial hump, it gets easier.

Of course, if you're up to the Dragon (which I think is the last boss of the demo? The one at the Oasis, right?), yeah, that one's supposed to be a challenge. Part of learning how to beat the bosses is following their patterns. Fight the boss enough, and you'll see that it will tend to Brave or Default or do that annoying nearly kill everyone move at the same time each fight, and you just need to act appropriately. Or grind a bit and get super OP. Or rely on awesome attacks from the people on the forum with the download function.

And yeah, there's the easy mode too, which I think reduces enemy HP and damage by something like 25%, and it can be turned on and off at any time.

The biggest problem with the demo is that, to me, it's not very informative about all the stuff you can do outside of a sentence here and there. It's like it expects you to have already played the full game, which really makes no sense.

I might still get the game if it has a better difficulty curve than the demo and actually helps you out a bit in regards to all the jobs/abilities/etc...

The game proper is MUCH better about that, it has tutorials that explain mechanics and has you actually use them in "not fights"

Japan always gets the coolest stuff... like this 2 hour live orchestral concert performance of the Bravely Default Soundtrack. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB5NEO1ikFt0fJ8-RsRzn8jNRjU_Yrsuo

That's because they know people in Japan would want to go to that concert.
Why can't we get in to stuff like that?

The demo is awful and nothing like the final game.

on Chapter 6. I don't know what level you're supposed to be at that point, but at level 66, it was insanely hard.

Yeah, thats what I've been hearing about the demo, I know some people said they wouldn't play the full version based off the demo and thats just stupid, bad way to make a demo Square.

I think it would have been a better idea to make the demo more like Etrian Odyssey IV's, in that you actually play through the first few hours or so of the game and are able to import your progress into the full game when you buy it.

I might still get it. I have Final Fantasy III for the DS (and loved it) and I'm reminded of it a lot with this game.

Edit: Oh, and the demo is made artificially harder by not giving you a lot of job abilities that you'd get in the full game.

That's about perfectly on-level for that point in the game. I was only about 70 or so at that point. He's a pretty rough fight.

Templar's Rampart helps mitigate the amped strikes, and his buffs can be dispelled with White Magic.

Perhaps if they had a portion of the game that served as a set up for the main plot and gave you a taste of the full game and had tutorials for all the mechanics in it, and introduced all the characters

some sort of PROLOGUE perhaps, that would have made a good demo


Edit : Got sword master, found a little bug, combining firewall and sword master makes firewall trigger 100% of the time but makes counter trigger 0% of the time
