    In some games it can be annoying (especially older Dragon Quest games where the rate would sometimes be every 2 steps), but this game sidesteps that handily by letting you control the encounter rate. Battle and grind when you want to, and only when you want to!

    Fair enough. If I were you I'd wait a couple months then try to find a good LP on YouTube. That way someone else can worry about all that grindy stuff.

    Good call

    I like what I've seen of the characters and stuff, Ringabel in particular

    Running around with +100% encounter rate all the time makes everything trivial, so I'd suggest others pick a lower rate.

    Also @Man of the Waves
    @chiasaur11
    @gumpy

    I got ya added, if you're looking for ablink and limit breaks.

    I tend to leave it at 0% most of the time. If the rate seems annoyingly high, I might drop it to -50% on occasion. I only use +100% if I'm trying to grind (usually for money) and -100% if I need to backtrack.

    Being able to set the encounter rate is a stroke of genius.

    grinding is trivial anyway. I hit a boss I needed to do it for and it only took like 5 minutes thanks to auto combat and brave. I might have been able to do it without but I figured the fire attacks were magic and they were physical so I was trying to use shell and stuff and it was only killing me

    thief edea with an angel bow kind of breaks the game. I really doubt I would have been able to beat the

    Due to a rainy day impulse buy I had to delete animal crossing, fire emblem, and phoenix wright for this. It better be worth it.

    I thought it would be big, but I did not expect it to take up the entire system's storage space.

    I'm loving this game so far. I am near the beginning of Chapter 2, and my only complaint (if you would even call it that) is I haven't found a reason to switch anyone from the initial jobs I assigned (Monk, White Mage, Knight, Black Mage, respectively).

    You definitely could play this game with just some basic jobs. At a certain point though, you might realize that you don't need to boost those specific jobs for where you are in the game.

    Slapping those lvl 8 jobs on secondary, and unlocking some of the amazing passive skills in the 19 or so other jobs, is pretty rewarding.

    Your ability to get through the game is mostly determined by the character level and equipment, so moving into a Lvl 1 job isn't that much of a challenge. It fun to expand what your characters can do.

    At what point in the game do you unlock extra passive skill slots? I'm spoiled from the demo having four spots open from the get go.

    I think it's linked to the 4 elemental crystals.

    Okay I am totally sold on this game. Turns out a JRPG without all the bullshit is exactly what I have been wanting.

    I don't think I'll be using the merchant class much. Attacks based on money spent? No thanks job description. At least not until I've maxed out all the other classes haha.

    It's basically good for it's passive ability, "get all the money"

    If you ever need funds you can equip your party as merchants and grind (4x, auto, brave, attack, +100% Encounter), and get that cash.
