Brave, Brave, BRAVE!
Well, after getting the short ending and setting the game aside for a few days, I picked Bravely Default back up again and trudged my way through Chapter 6’s sub-quests and everything in Chapter 7. When I got to Chapter 8 I cleared one of the sub-quests, but…good gosh, that was difficult, there were going to be so many more, and I’ve been told that after clearing the True End I’ll be sent back to Chapter 8, so I’ll just do that later.
So, I made it to The End! The Chapter entitled The End, that is. Progress has been…well, it’s had its ups and downs. As soon as you arrive in this chapter, you have to fight the two-stage final boss of the short end, which wasn’t too tough (seemed tougher than it did in Finale…might’ve been my Job setup), then unlocked Dimension’s Hasp and ventured in to fight powerful foes and gain powerful weapons. That all went pretty well, barring those darn Guzzlers that I have yet to successfully defeat. After that I headed back to the Dark Aurora and fought that one character’s final form…and lost miserably. Rearranged my Jobs and fought a few more battles before trying again, used Bravely Second to help out and I was able to win! Barely. Now I have a break before fighting the true final boss, which apparently has, oh…five stages?
Uh…
While that doesn’t sound quite as obnoxious to the 10+ stages of killing Ansem back in Kingdom Hearts, it doesn’t sound like something I’m ready to face right now. I’m thinking I’ll select a place to grind, get the hang of some advanced tactics, and build up as much SP as I can before giving that a try. In the meantime, I decided to go ahead and unlock the Special Movie the quick way (using the Konami Code, bless you Square-Enix), which didn’t really spoil anything unless you count it a spoiler that one of the characters is confirmed to survive. It uses the gyroscope and requires you to swing the 3DS around a lot, so my sister was kind of weirded out by my behavior, but eh. Worth it. I love secret movies.
