hey guys, just arrived my copy from amazon and it seems that linking more friends can benefits your village with more manpower and less time to build things around.
who got it? share your friend code! (i will try to update this post as it goes)
Friends don't add to your village, streetpasses & net invites (tho net invites are limited to once per day) do.
Friends offer more benefits though honestly, if you have friends who are more advanced into the game than you & you abilink them in the game (one abilink per character), the character that's got abilinked will get access to all of the support abilities and job abilities that that friend has developed. (so for example you abilink your Black mage Ringabel with an advanced friend, your ringabel will suddenly have access to loads of higher level abilities & support abilities that he normally wouldn't have unless you level those jobs yourself)
It's sort of overpowered in a way though (but less so than summons are), but it's nice to have sometimes when you're struggling & don't feel like grinding for hours to outlevel the boss/zones you're having problems with.
Just snagged the demo for now, cruising through, loving it so far!
Guys tell me this though, how much do you use the Default and Brave commands? I don't use them too much... Have you found them majorly impactful to your battles and strategies?

yeah, they are quite the core of the game.
even i at first was seriously doubting the system, but now it's clear: when you get more guys in the party they can defend (default) and gain another turn (dont remember if called bp) in the next turn, if you go for brave you will expend extra turns in that turn, but if you go in negative with it, the character will not be able to do anything for -X turn.
its cool to mix with brave moves for the monk while the white mage go on default for more extra turns, while you plan a strategy to overcome the enemy party.
technically you can go 4x4x4x4 turns with all the party members in a single sweep, if the enemy lets you do that...
i'm playing at hard and its quite challenging.
i'm not the usually guy that goes around with his 3DS in the pocket to get street passes all around. :1
Net invites can be done trough ehm, if you select save (either trough the traveler or the map save) you'll get a few options, first is save game, it should be the second option i think, can't remember what it was called exactly. (update info or something?)
That should connect to the web, might take half a minute or so, and it'll grab 4-5 people from the web, so you'll get 4-5 villagers, and 4-5 people you can use for summons (summon can be used once per person).
This can only be done once per 24 hours, it's basicly for people who don't get streetpasses often, so you're not stuck building your village super slowly.

constantly! they're definately the core of the game as said
i didn't try the demo before i bought the game so i'm not sure how it works there, but not using default or brave at certain packs of mobs or a boss will get you completely annihilated.
Default gives you 1bp, but it also makes you block & take less damage, and that 1bp you can then spend on a brave so you'll get extra attacks & whatnot.
Going minus into brave isn't recommended for the most part, it's mostly there for when you outlevel certain groups & just want to go all out right away.
Really? Cool! I guess I just haven't gotten to a place yet where it really matters.. which is why I was wondering.
Like, I don't see the difference yet between just attacking for 2 rounds in a row, or doing a Default, then attacking twice the next turn. Like 0 difference or strategy there... ?
Looking forward to getting deeper in the game. In fact.. I'd better go play right now!
for what ? to play only 5 games ? correction now its 4 ... one was ported to other systems to escape the Nigga platform [Resident evil Revelations] ... oh sorry now its 3 , Castlevania was also ported over to other platforms ... so now you have only 3 worth a while titles : Luigi Mansion 2 , The Starship Damrey , Time Travelers [for that you need to know Jap , like i do]
3ds only stays afloat thanks to LeveL-5 and Nintendo brands that are now milked to death ... Super mario rehash ... oh yeah ... new Zelda rehash of snes link to the past... wait what ?!... oh lets make another Layton to sell more units ....or another reiteration of Pokemon...
but what about third party developers, well they do not like Nintendo internal licensing and politics... Ubisoft Assassins Creed : Lost Legacy a 3ds exclusive became Assassins Creed 2 Revelations , and 2 exclusives that where made only to push the system just escaped to other platforms ... same can be said about Wii U line up thats also pathetic ...
hand held gaming slowly dies right now , thanks to mobiles and tables ... on them you can get AAA games for FREE or for only 5$ ... why pay 50$ or 60$ when you can get the same for 3$
this game is freaking customizable.
it lets you even adjust how much random encounter you can cross from 0% or 100% more!
actually im running with edea/knight, tiz/monk(just switched to thief), agnès/white mage, ringabel/black mage
and lets not talk about the village minigame... it's fucking addicting: i left the 3DS on standby just to get few upgrades while i was doing other things on the pc.
I guess I better throw away the 6 other 3DS games I enjoy, they weren't on Hfrics worthwhile list
tell me what do you have and i tell you if its worth your time , its not that the 3ds is a bad handheld but its time has ended , they had a good run with GB then with GBA and with DS and DSi [you can count 300+ games worth a while from each system ] but this... when your main selling point was 3D and then you release a version with out 3d... ouch ... heck when your forced to convert old ips to 3d like kid icarus then you know they are in trouble
but then again they still have those braion washed fans that grew up on thier systems that eat any trash and any milk down they make ... another mario yes pleaaazz , another zelda HD NOW ... yes ..
And yeah FUCK NINTENDO exclusives, who the hell buys Nintendo consoles to play 1st party games ? Yeah Mario sucks, Zelda sucks because it exists for decades ! So it sucks for sure
Hopefully people won't play GTA 10 whenever this is out, because it's gonna suck following Hfric logical !
Seriously speaking though, sorry my friend, but you are 100% wrong. Both the Wii U and specially the 3DS are awaking from their ashes. Both consoles had a shitty backlog at launch but both consoles are finally getting proper games now.
Since I own an iPhone, an iPad for years, and finally bought a 3DS this year, I know what I'm talking about. I never had so much fun on my 3DS in 1 month than in 1 month of "iPhone" gaming. You can't compare the Nintendo console to a iOS device as of now. The games are different. The 3D effect is different. The real gamepad is different... Should I go on ?
I love all my devices, but saying you can replace the 3DS by an iPhone ? Nope ! I wish you could but nope ! Maybe if Nintendo had games on the AppStore (nope, I don't mean that Pokémon catalog crap or whatever they have on the AppStore currently) but we both know it will never happen. And yeah if it did happen, you would be the first into cashing out $30 to play a proper platforming game (Mario), or a proper karting game... Yeah that's right, go back to Angry Birds Go Karting or Super Lep World
Oh and yeah I remember playing Mario in the 90's on my NES, but I remember playing it now on my 3DS, and while the character is the same, the game isn't. Every Mario game is brand new and has new stuff. It's like saying : no I won't play Tomb Raider 2013 because I played Tomb Raider in 1996 already.
Don't be a fool, as much as I wish Nintendo would die so we finally have Nintendo games on other consoles, or on iOS, I know it will never happen, so what choice do we have ? Well for now, buying the 3DS...
I sometimes play GBA/N64 games on iOS using emulators, to play Mario Kart or whatever, but none of the oldest Mario Kart game are as good as Mario Kart 7 for example. Playing Mario Kart 64 in 2013 is a joke now.... So I'm very happy that Nintendo managed to make a brand new game using an old license. You should be too. Hell even Microsoft lately said the same about Nintendo (which is why they brought back Killer Instinct) !
And yeah I gotta agree with you, 3DS isn't the master race at all sadly. But that's alright, at least you don't have to hope for an emulator for a console you don't remotely care. Lucky you !
typical itards, when you say mobile they automatically think Iphone ...
i better then go back to Shadow Guardian , Nova , Sword And Sworcery , Aralon , Arma Tactics , Cordy , Epoch , Ravensword , Death Dome , Call of Duty Strike Team , Riptide GP2 , Shadowgun , Dead Trigger and much much more... dont know where you have been but the mobile platform has evolved ...

do you really think nintendo games would still be nintendo games quality-wise if they werent first party products, but instead 3rd party games for other consoles?
look at sonic

You have a point. And I think you are right actually.
@Interinactive
the same was said when analogs where invented by Atari and later made popular by Nintendo N64
and then when Playstation came with its two analogs pads
those controls are great when you learn them
and seeing that they will not go away , since Nintendo when all full retard to tablet gaming
people trust to much Nintendo , they are like sheep ... they only buy new stuff from them because they are ''the inventors of new stuff you game on, but are only re-used ideas from others they stole'' , they had a good run with it when they created a monopoly ... but now they are not alone and have a hard time with it
go talk this nosense in the general 3DS please, i need to talk about my addiction to the city build system that keeps my 3DS fully on standby to unlock upgrades in this drugged game.

for me its bravely default, phoenix wright, fire emblem, mario 3d land, zelda remake and a few more.

someone is using the red mage? i can't get it very well in the party... its so underpowered confronting the other 2 specific jobs (white and black magic), im talking about 100ish damage for the red mage using black magic vs 300+ damage on black magic alone all on multi target.

i'm missing something oblivious?
red mage is not so much about the job itself but more about the secondary abilties which are really good to combine with other jobs

ah yes, the passive BP gain that i've been using since i unlocked it, now i get it.
too bad, because he could had potential.
Just started playing this for real, and am still at the beginning where you get the first few additional jobs.
Are there any jobs that are tailored to certain characters? Like maybe Tiz being a good monk or so?
I don't really need a lift of this (if there are certain advantages for certain characters), but I would just like to know if there is a way to find this out apart from just trying.

Not that i'm aware of at least, every character is equal for any job.

It's great combined with some other abilities, for example i think one of the latter white mage (might be another job, can't quite remember) ability is that you can make yourself a higher target of status changes (get targetted with charm, berserk, etc) yet be immune to them with fairy ward from spiritmaster, combined with the red mage bp increase on status change.
This way you make yourself immune with fairy ward, be a higher target for status changes, and get 1 or 2 bp whenever they try to status change you, it's pretty nice (and almost a requirement sometimes for certain bosses depending on how you handle them, this was one of the ways i finally managed to beat Satan from Norende village before i outleveled it)
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
