For anyone that it's interested in watching Bravely Default ll story in 2K (1440p) using mClassic you can see here, any feedback is welcome as i m new at this video editing and will improve my future videos if needed.
Well, that kind of depends which jobs you go for & lots of other factors, @VoidofLight .... It seems to be 'balanced' around the idea you'll do the vast majority of 'side'-quests, too!
Here's a jobs list I found for it: https://www.rpgsite.net/feature/10809-bravely-default-ii-job-... Just unlocked Spiritmaster & Swordmaster myself, so I'll be trying those jobs very soon, since I have 2 suitable people who've almost mastered their current ones
Just beat the Frog boss. It wasn’t too difficult, but I did have to think about my strategy because of its large health pool and counter attacks. Don’t want to spoil the strats for this one, but basically I went into this one unprepared and barely managed to hop away victorious (yes, that was a frog pun).

In my case i went staright ahead in story not realizing i was missing the area with the frog, i only noticed when i was through with the next city bosses and revisit Halcyon to check for new quests so for me was easy cuz i was op to the mobs there lol.
@Arcansel yeah this one was easily missable if you didn’t have a reason to visit the king. I just wanted to see how the old chap was doing and to my surprise, he had a kinda meaty side quest. It pays to be nice!

I didnt even notice where the king chamber was lol i just scanned for quests and spotted it otherwise i wouldnt even find the king chamber, i was so focused on my recording, in fact i had left some chests behind to get them later since i m unsure when they will be reachable so i wont wander too much in world map trying to figure it out to be less tedious to the watcher. At the moment i am at the 3rd city recording the 6th part of the video, so i can launch it today, proly launch part 7 today too as i often upload 2 videos in the same day.
@VoidofLight Another way to earn more exp and job points is to have chained battles using food. Or group 3 fleeing monsters that give decent points. I have noted that monsters at night give more experience.
Undergoing games:
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
Fired up my copy for the first time last night. The voice acting being used in key cutscenes helps make this feel like a AAA quality game rather than the high-AA budget this game was probably actually given. Looks good, plays well. Is BD still the best series of Final Fantasy games not named FF?
I look forward to getting through it.
Switch Physical Collection - 1,537 games (as of December 22nd, 2025)
Switch 2 Physical Collection - 4 games (as of December 8th, 2025)

I tried this out and it works well. Are the number of chains random? I noticed it’s higher towards the end of the effect. Will have to try this out at night.
I also noticed that the chain battles can also reward you with the same food that you consumed.

To my knowledge, it’s the closest game similar to classic Final Fantasy. It does have it’s own unique brand when it comes art style, music, and the Default combat system, but it also borrows a lot from the FF games like spell names, the job system, and monsters. To answer your question, I think it is.
While it's versions of the various jobs aren't all very similar to FF, either, @shining_nexus .... Just got Oracle myself & that certainly seems like it'll be a LOT better here than it used to be in FF But then I'm sure there's quite a few people that used to work on FF games doing this one!
@shining_nexus Oh, that explains a lot. I recognized Cait Sith from Smash (part of the FFVII spirits collection) and I wondered why it was in Bravely Default II.
@Magician
You say you're puzzled at the name "Bravely Default II" for what is actually the third game. Well, so am I. And there's a parallel: Xenoblade Chronicles II is also the third game. After looking at a lot of gameplay footage of both games, I can say without fear of contradiction that both Bravely Default II and Xenoblade Chronicles II are mediocre titles that can be skipped. Maybe it's a curse: if you give a game the wrong number, it'll end up sucking.

Xenoblades chronicles 2 is a good game especially the story but you will only understand it after you play the full game, bravely default ll so far is not giving me the same magical feeling as the first titles though, here s hoping that the story at least makes up for it.

I never said the title of the game was confusing. I was well aware of the fact that Bravely Default II is the third game in the series. I thought I made that clear in post #5 of this thread? Either way, your dislike for XC2 is...unfortunate, it's one of my favorite Switch games.
Yeah, I was triggered so badly by TheWingedAvenger's statement that I added them to my ignore list on general principal. But then I came to my senses. Everyone gets a chance. You're on thin ice, TWA! LOL...
