Mount Coronet

I'm still on chapter two. Magic seems to be the most effective mode of attack. I think Ringabel needs to have sword magic as he sucks the most right now out of all of my characters. His kightness fails against water monsters.

 

Actually I did switch him to monk and he has been hitting decently, but meh.

I didn't have that much trouble with Chapter 4; I had to grind for awhile in Chapter 3 because Qada was massacring my crew, but otherwise I haven't had too much trouble against bosses until Chapter 5, where suddenly they became all-out (but still beatable).

 

I don't understand what's up with both of you having a bad Ringabel, though - he's always been my best attacker (as a Monk) or the longest lasting in the case of the others being KO'd (as a Merchant) or my best supporter (as a Performer) for me.

Tekulo, I think we should return our Ringabels and ask for replacements.

Yes. Ringabels that have decent character traits. Oh, and good offense too. =P

 

I got him some knuckles and that upped his attack so he's finally getting in some triple digits. Maybe when he levels up, he can be decent as a monk? I am toying with switching him to Valkerie at some point as that worked for ne in the demo, but right now I need to survive chapter three. Edea and Tiz are getting close to level nine, so after this chapter I might have to switch them around which sucks because Edea is my best offense and Tiz is my white mage. Speaking of which, I never did get the red mage asterisk in chapter two. The quest seems to be active in the city, but after I stayed at the inn and Ringading wanted tips on flirting from a fellow dingus, he seemed to vanish off the face of the earth. I figure I'll level up in chapter three then go back and destroy him later.

 

Also, Bravely Default... aka the game where everyone dies. =/ I am going to be sooo bummed out before this game is through with me... and why do I think Airy is the villain?

 

Also I am clueless as to why Eternian forces hate Vestals so much. Living a secluded, peaceful life maintaining the order of the natural world (with floating crystals which are totally natural) doesn't strike "evil witch" to me. CONSPIRACY!

Ah, yes the Red Mage. That was frustrating for a number of reasons. You need to return to the city at night to encounter him again, which will lead to a stalking montage that may end in failure. If it doesn't work, you need to wait until its night again, trigger the scene again, and hope it works that time. It's a pretty straight shot from there, though it turns horrifying very quickly. We do get the briefest glimmer of hope for Ringabel, though! Also Red Mage is a very nice job. Don't let the character you get it from dissuade you from using it!

 

Airy's attitude can definitely raise some questions. Nothing's come of it as of where I am in the story (about mid(?) Chapter 4 now), so I wonder if anything will come of it in the future...

 

I'm not entirely sure about the vestal hatred either. However, it seems that this all started when Edea's father took command, and there's an optional town near Eternia where you can get some backstory that might explain it. Currently waiting for confirmation of it during the main story.
