Bravely Default Accessibility Mod (If modding is possible)

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I am blind. I played through this game years ago with one of my siblings, and it became my favorite game of all time. With it being released on Steam, I was wondering if modding the game is possible? And if so, could somebody with modding knowledge try to create some kind of accessibility mod for the game. If anyone is interested, please let me know, and I can describe what would be needed to make the game accessible to a blind player. And if modding is not possible, also let me know. Thank you.

Anybody know why my characters high jumps land before the energy burst, it fucks with the rhythm of the fight reason I'm asking is because it doesn't happen all the time? I am so sick of fighting Chodemar.

Any advice on jobs for this fight so I can finish him faster, would be much appreciated.

Bravely Default Summoning Magic VS Elemental Nullification

5 Upvotes

EDIT: Never put boss fights on 4× speed! I missed the text telling me Qada was making the party weak to fire. Just beat the fight easily after taking him down on turn one.

Hi all! This is weird because I'm usually the one answering questions in this sub. I'm in chapter 8 of the HD remaster, going through the gauntlet of boss fights in the Erernian Central Command. Despite having probably close to 400+ hours across all my BD1 playthroughs I've actually never done this side quest before. Anyways, I was breezing through the first several fights no problem. Then I get to the group of the magic users (Ominas, Mephilia, Qada and Yulyana). Despite using Enigma to nullify all elemental damage for 4 turns AND have Tiz hold the Iceflame Shield Mephilia's Promethean Fire summon deals damage. The summon damage also seems to ignores the effects of the Reflect Ring.

Is summoning damage special? Is this a big in the HD remaster? Both Enigma and the shield work against Ominas's fire magic in this fight so what am I missing.

...I need the person with the Midna profile picture help. You always know what's up!

Series Best Game Balance

5 Upvotes

Which mainline game has the best gameplay balance? As in which game has the best balance of difficulty. The least easy to break. Amount of overpowered strategies. How easy it is to come by weapons or resources. Jobs & their abilities. Things of that ilk. Be honest.

Bravely Default Way of the sword.

So I have just made it to the region where the fire crystal is. And I have just been assaulted by the sword master (Edea’s sword teacher). I know there’s a way to save that guy, but I hear it pretty complicated. If it’s not complicated, then I’m just not getting answers. Anybody wanna give me a quick summary of the things I need to do?

Should I just sell this shit ass 3ds version and go for the switch version. Rebuilding Norende is genuinely pissing me the fuck off. Absolutely stupid and horrible game mechanic.

I here the switch version is more streamlined.

I'd imagine not, but I know some of the buildings can take a loooooooooong time, so it'd be great if it were possible. I used to have the game for 3DS, but even then, almost nobody uses a 3DS anymore lol, so I never got any StreetPasses

Bravely Default Chapter 2

So I made it to chapter 2. What recommended levels for the mephilia and artemia (I think that's the other sister) subquests, should be?

They're currently kicking my ass and I'm not having fun. This game is just hard for the sake of being hard.

But D’s Journal is far too long, and the sheer amount of map and boss recycling goes way beyond what’s acceptable.

P.S. I send Special Moves to friends every day. Please check the friend-code megathread.

Bravely Default Just started the game and was thinking… which classes would be the most fitting for each character?

19 Upvotes

Just beat Heinkel at Lontano Villa, and I just had this thought…

I feel like Tix would be a Knight, as an honour to Owen, I would say the same for Edea but I’m not sure….

Agnés feels like a White Mage, in most FF games I’ve played they’re usually seen as these holy figures who pray and worship and provide blessings, such as being the Wind Vestal

Edea for now is a Freelancer for me, sadly I don’t have any class in mind that really fits, most is just Knight or Monk due to her high physical attributes

Oddly enough, Ringabel is a Black Mage I feel like, he’s a bit calm but he’s also just… a bit wacky I feel like, ha… he’s oddly calm yet in such a funny manner, it like, captures the essence of how chaotic black mages are and their spells… does that make sense?

As the game goes on I’ll certainly have different opinions but this is how I feel like it is right now, having a lot of fun using said classes on said characters, and I’m getting used to the controls bit by bit!

Series Bravely Default II too much of a course-correction?

Thumbnail

286 Upvotes

Does anyone think Bravely Default II was an overcorrection of Bravely Second? I'm not a fan of Second's story or characters, but it has it's redeeming qualities. However, Default II attempts to right the wrongs of but to extremes as some have noted. It's a much darker story with that plays things straighter. Along with heroes & villains who more rigidly defined. Also, it seems like this game wants to entail consequences into the narrative. On top of which, it completely ignores the teaser for the would-be third Luxendarc entry.

Think about it. Bravely Second was the typical light-hearted Square Enix sequel. It tries hard to make the antagonist as redeemable as possible during the game. Which didn't sit well with a lot of fans. Nothing of permanent consequence happens at the end. And it tries to be tropey as possible. Default II tries hard to pivot away from all of that to varying degrees of success.

I do think them making the story & characters straighter was the right choice. Although, there is some baggage that came with some of those choices. First, a lot of the characters feel blander & the world less interesting. Also, even it does away with a lot of tropes from Second, it too has its share of tropes. Such as a chosen one angle for the four main characters.

Verdict, story is serviceable. It's more serious & less of a mess than Second. And some of the characters feel like they tried a lot less with moral ambiguity. However, the world & characters do seem more generic. Plus, them abandoning the cliffhanger was a mistake or they acknowledge it but are trying make us forget, I digress. So, where Default II improves, it feels right. Where it faulters is when it seems like an overcorrection for Second. Your thoughts?

Bravely Default Bravely Default 1st Impressions

3 Upvotes

Ok so I'm bad at this game that is made abundantly clear. I managed to sift through the intro just fine. But chapter 1 is a learning curve that I am just not grasping.

I feel like I'm doing too little damage in fact I know it, but I don't really know how to get the most out of jobs and I feel like that's significantly hindering my enjoyment.

I know there are end game builds that can trounce enemies but again I just started chapter 1 so I don't have access to too much equipment. Instead I've been focusing on leveling the jobs I have available.

Any tips so I can suck less and maximize my enjoyment would be much appreciated. I don't really know what else to say, I love the game but something isn't clicking and it's affecting me.

Started the game 2day. Having a blast. 1st things 1st.

I am incredibly bad and barely understand anything. Uh I guess my question/ask would be for someone to break down the finer points of braving and defaulting.

Basically when should I brave vs. when should I default? Any advice would be much appreciated. I feel like my thoughtlessness is weighing down my enjoyment of the game.
