BBM Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) SO I just got Bravely Default recently and finished a playthrough. And of course I thought, why not do a draft! Refa is playing and just getting the game today so keep the spoilers such as the identity of the final boss secret. There are only 4 characters, so instead of doing a draft of characters, I think we should do a job draft. There are 24 jobs, which is a nice multiple of 4, but Freelancer has to be free, and 23 isn't a nice multiple of anything. So my solution is to have 4 free jobs, which leaves 20 to draft. Then, depending on interest and whether we want to have 8 jobs each or 9 jobs each, we can have 4 or 5 people. Rules: 1. We're playing just for completion. We play until the final boss is beaten (if you're hardcore you can go for the bonus boss as well). 2. HARD MODE because that's how we roll (you can do NM if you reeeeeally want to). Also on New Game, not New Game+. 3. Other difficulty modifiers (like encounter rate) are up to the player to modify as they want. 4. No Abilinks or Friend Summons because those are LAME and EASY and also people with a lot of friends have an unfair advantage. 5. Norende is allowed I guess because a couple jobs (Salvemaker) pretty much need it and having more friends just cuts down time. 6. Jobs that aren't free or drafted by you can't be used at all, as a main or secondary job. The sub-scenarios for jobs you don't have can still be completed. Free Jobs: Freelancer White Mage - The person who drafted this would have a significantly easier time than everybody else for quite a while. Black Mage - Gives everybody early AoE and early elemental damage (or only BM and SF would have it). Thief - This is still up for debate. I almost put Monk for an earlier physical class, but with everyone having 8/9 jobs, but I think Thief gives a lot of earlier weapons for very little opportunity cost. Monk- By popular vote Signups: 1. BBM - Spell Fencer, Performer, Dark Knight, Conjurer 2. Paperblade - Ranger, Salve-Maker, Knight, Time Mage 3. CT075- Thief, Valkyrie, Templar, Merchant 4. Shadowfrost Zenbiniar - Spiritmaster, Red Mage, Arcanist, Vampire 5. Refa - Swordmaster, Ninja, Pirate, Summoner Edited June 4, 2014 by BBM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Masayoshi Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'll attempt to do this Never done a draft before, but its BD so what could happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Any opinions on Thief vs Monk for free job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Masayoshi Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Let me see Monk has better abilities and Phoenix Flight, as well as physical, but not defense(Correct me on this if wrong) Thief, has speed, but fragile HP, as well as Godspeed strike. I'd say Monk, for the fact it is a better class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 well you're not counting Thief's ability to steal, which is the main reason people use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Masayoshi Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Steal is a great ability, though I'm not sure it works on the highest level of enemies(For example, Death, and Silence become useless after chapter 5) It can be for stealing items you can't get regular game, but I don't find it that great.

CT075 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 i'll bite tbh i think that thief and monk should both be free and that black mage shouldn't be (although that introduces it's own problems such as "how the fuck do you not get chingis'd by blazzard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refa Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'll say Monk too because while I've never played this game, Monks are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Okay I think I'll go with Monk over Thief. I think BM should still be free because at the end of the day elemental damage is probably more important than earlier weapons. List RandomizerThere were 5 items in your list. Here they are in random order: bbm paperblade cam sz refa Timestamp: 2014-06-04 00:42:08 UTC FIRST PICK damnit such a hard decision I was tempted to pick Ninja for the cheesing or Salve-maker/Spiritmaster but I'm going to go with my FAVOURITE CLASS Spell Fencer this probably means I have no healing other than WM but who cares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 oh yeah another thing everybody but Refa should know that there's a chunk of the game you can skip- up to you whether you want to or not, and how much of it you do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBM Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 The order is in the OP. When we reach one end, we snake back. So it goes 12345543211234554321. The bolded is where we are right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
