[Nintendo 3DS] THIS THREAD IS DEAD! POST IN THE NEW ONE!

Jobs are the classes in the game. Black Mage, Dragoon Valkyrie and so on.

Maz-

Job = class

White Mage, Knight, Thief etc

undergroundmonorail

...Wow.

If they had said "A job is a character's class" I wouldn't have had this problem at all. :P

Also, you can buy Phoenix Down at the shop. I thought that

• Phoenix Down was a Final Fantasy thing
• It was a fairly big deal that there's only a finite number in each game, so you had to be careful

I guess I was wrong on both counts.
thank you, ace attorney, for breaking my habit of spelling it "pheonix". now please teach me how to spell attorney on my first try

Maz-

Bravely Default is basically a Final Fantasy game in anything but name. There are many allusions and references to FF, from jobs to items and enemies.

Elixer (full heal of everything but not revive) is the limited thing, usually. Sometimes also Ether or Hi-Ether (MP restore).

Maz-

Yeah, Elixirs are the things that are only available in limited quantity and are super useful, which means you never use any of them cause "I might need them later!" so at the end of the game you'll have 87 of them.

In Bravely Default you can buy (Hi-)Ether at least.

undergroundmonorail

Yeah, that's probably what I'm thinking of. Thanks.

Renzo

Man, the day before is not the best time to download a demo that can take like 8 hours to get through (if you want to do everything).

Kreutz

What with copying all of these item names and mechanics from the Final Fantasy series, I certainly hope they don't get sued for... Oh, wait. Never mind.

Niceguyeddie616

I most certainly plan on buying Bravely Default, but first I have a big backlog pile that includes SMT4 and Rune Factory 4, so for me it's gonna be at least a few months. Doesn't help that on the Vita side of things I'm probably gonna grab Danganronpa next week :P

They have? Stupid aging brain. Never mind, then.

Nintendo should have just allowed the top and bottom covers to be easily replaceable, and they could have made bank on promoting an official Nintendo 3DS cover market.

Last year we got Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Mario & Luigi Dream Team, Pokemon and Zelda ones, as far as I can remember.

Skull2185

Ho now, there's a Fire Emblem 3DS? It's probably not available in NA, huh?

Oh ewwwww. It's not an XL.

kime

Oh wait is Bravely Default out?

hmmmm I feel the increasing urge to spend money...

It's so pretty though. I still slightly kick myself for not grabbing one when NewEgg had 'em.

skeldare

For those interested, Amazon has the Collector's Edition of Bravely Default in stock. There is a 1-2 day process time though.

I'd post this in the Bravely Default thread but I'm avoiding it until I get the game.

UncleSporky

It's probably sold out already.

Ordered so hard.

No estimated shipping date, though

I think I'd be more inclined to buy the CE if there was a nice figure in there. As is cards, soundtrack, and an art book aren't super worthwhile.

Naphtali

The US CE doesn't have the figure

Maz-

I know. My point was that the figure isn't nice at all :P

Hey now, be careful what you wish for.


Poor, poor Europe...

maximumzero

There's a reason I said nice figure in there.

Yeah I wouldn't hit that at all.

UncleSporky

I showed that to my sister and she made the good point that it'd be fun and easy to repaint and fix it.

Maz-

I'm really bummed that they included it in the European CE..I fucking love the game's design and its music, so an artbook and a soundtrack would've been perfect. The statue basically doubled the game's price (the CE was selling for 90-100 €) and I wasn't sure that anyone on eBay would even want to buy it.

I was going to say "Again, fucking Europe only...!"

But then I saw that picture. Yeesh...

The Wolfman

If I wanted to be analytical about it, the soundtrack would be up on Youtube, in addition to other... "unscrupulous" places. Ditto with the art book. And seeing that AR works even if it's a picture on a monitor, double ditto for those too.

That being said, $10 for actual physical AR cards seemed worth it to me. Doing it with a monitor just isn't the same.

edit: Actually I just walked in the door from picking the game up and can finally have a close look at it. The box itself is pretty bitchin' to boot.

Beltaine

$10 for cards, soundtrack, art book, and really nice packaging is a steal. I'm super impressed with the quality, which makes the lolworthy figure the rest of the world got even more mind-boggling.

Nosf

I think if it had come with a figure I'd have passed on the CE. I agree that 10 bucks for what you get in the North American CE feels like a real sweet spot between price/package.
