I thought I had messed up too, was like NOOOOO. Then I saw the Bravely Second icon and went "oh. Okay."
On the bright side, as of Ch.5 it is super easy to farm JP. I just go to Grapp Keep, have everyone set Holy Magic and Spellcraft (need to have up to Blast). I spam Blessing Blast on mobs there, a Chain 3 will get me like 20k pg, a bunch of EXP (I actually turned it off so I don't hit level 99 while I level jobs), and 999 JP. Without JP Boost or Growth Egg, I might add, neither of which surpass that cap (in the last game, JP Boost surpassed because it added 10% extra to your gain despite the 999 listing, so you'd get 1098 instead of 999).
At this point I'm just leveling niche jobs here and there to play around with a few things. Gotta say I'm loving having a Thief finally. Went after it the moment I hit Ch.5, first thing. xD

I KNOW. I started noticing it around the second Barter quest.
Gho Gettar. Sholmes and Whitson. Etc etc. x.x;
Anyway, Chapter 5/6 Spoilers below!
So, I really liked the re-battles with the story characters; Bella/Cu, Geist/Revenant, etc. It really gave a lot of extra background to the characters, like Bella's sister dying from the Great Plague and her attachment to her doll, or how Revenant died and why Geist was so broken when it happened, or even the cat-girl's (whose name I can't remember right now) history with her mother and the testing to stop a second plague. Very, very deep. Props to the team for giving us some proper insight into these guys.
Also, I'm a little disappointed at how much of a pushover Diamante was. The reflection mirror was a bit annoying, but I countered it by putting up Elemental Barrier Blast, and then doing 4x Bomb Fragment, 1x Bomb Fragment on the next turn. All would get reflected for 0 damage thanks to the barrier. After that, my Ninja would throw a new Bomb Fragment at the start of the turn (to remove the 20% mirror it gains each turn) and the rest would attack. Susano'o Arrow worked splendidly along with my Kaiser/Dark Knight's Dark Nebula (which, conveniently, that Elemental Barrier blocks on my party!) Little annoyingly easy for such a major boss.
Also Chapter 6! CALDISA. YAY. Looking forward to getting more on this. (PleasebringbackRingabelkthx)

Oh there's loads of them most of them got a chuckle out of me then a facepalm. Worst two are from the Valkyrie and Monk quest. Even Yew's dad has a dodgy name when they pronounce it during the Yokai quest.

I absolutely loved this moment
[start of chap2 minor spoiler] Yew making a soliloquy about their shitty boat and Edea singing "Row row row your boat" while sleeping lol. All of the scene was funny too, this game just has so many nice little gems that make it great.

One more thing from Chapter 6's Yokai quest:
Is it wrong that I wanted to freakin' cry when Ringabel showed up again? I missed him! Loved him in Bravely Default, and having him back was nice. Especially the skit right before the fight with Yoko, where they call Agnes to give her the good news.
Alternis: "Well uh, her Holiness is in the bath."
Ringabel: "She's in the bath!? All the more reason that I speak to her urgently! Go to her, man! And leave the camera running!"
Oh Ringabel, I missed you so.

In chap 4 trying to grind out stuff. Any tips? I'm trying to cap my jobs now.
Also, End of Chapter 4 question. I have no idea wtf I'm supposed to do. time stopped and there is no ! on the map.
If all that is left is the wash and repeat I'm want to get as much stuff done as I can before I start that headache.

I can't speak for Chapter 4, because I didn't start hardcore grinding until Chapter 5. Chaining works about as well as usual. As for the Chapter 4 question:
Completing it gets you access to New Game+ in the menu. Go into that New Game+, and when you start in the battle against Kaiser Oblivion, and it's Yew's turn, pop Bravely Second. It will work regardless of SP, and it will move the story forward into Chapter 5.

I don't want to be an *** in the run where it counts >_> do I get the astrisks in NG+ w/o being a douche?

There is no "second play through" per say.
NG+ is just a continuation of the first game. It's the developers making a joke on how the first game looped so much by making you think it's going to do that, then it doesn't. Most of the NPC's still have their memories from before you rewind time and there is a big "WTF just happened" moment. All the monsters have been replaced with much power powerful versions and there are several new dungeons unlocked as part of the continuation of the story.

Figure I ask here, I'm at the end of BD and question about the boss:
What you do for Airy second form? Dispel > Flare just wipes me out and takes off my reraise or any buff I put on.

I don't actually remember that much about the boss, per se, but I remember having a Spiritmaster was my best friend for it. Make sure their speed is high enough, and you can either pop Adaptation four times or use Enigma, and negate/absorb the follow-up attacks. Alternatively, consider knocking her stats down/raising your own; both Performer and Pirate do this well. Skull Split (I think?) will lower Matk, and you can use your Performer to buff your Mdef, making it much easier to survive if you can't get elemental defenses up. Also most of my people end up wearing mage gear by the end of the game regardless of job, because I tend to find magic eating me the most near the end.

Pretty sure I just used Greater Elemental Ward so to not waste too many bp on my healer. The other three were pure attackers so I didn't use any particularly fancy strategy(unlike Eternia Central Command where the boss battles were insane).
By Draylo 2016-04-25 12:16:53
I used enigma since I always have a spiritmaster, the problem comes from her move it dispels EVERYTHING, including Enigma/Reraise. I must be missing something here or I shouldn't use Hasten World so the boss gets 2 BP. I think I'll take that off and see what happens.

Final boss in BS:EL Phase 2 of the first fight, Mandate of Heaven can go *** itself.
Finished the game stuff,
Party Build:
I went with the Square build for more RPGs.
Tiz - Tank - Knight/Templar
Edea - Physical DPS - Monk/Charioteer
Yew - Magical DPS - Wizard/Black Mage
Magnolia - Support - White Mage/Time Mage
Tiz would cover Edea or Desperation.
Edea would spam Wanton Destruction.
Yew would spam Flare - Rain.
Magnolia would keep everyone topped off and toss out Holy - Hammer.
Story Stuff: Was totally caught off guard when the portal to the celestial realm was the damn camera. Last thing I was expecting was a whirling portal with my big bearded face in it.
The first fight with the last boss was annoying, Mandate of Heaven caused me to wipe like 4 times because of just poor targets or timing. Edea (MNK) kill Tiz (Knight) Tiz has like capped P.Def so yeah, him dying to punches is laughable. Doom would also kill the target before I could a few times, it was so frustrating. Ended up just zerging him down before it would go off.
Then the pyramid boss going all eternal darkness was a nice surprise. Don't delete my save! Nooooooooo!
Of course no game would be finished w/o a hook to get you into the next game. The Sword of the Brave is the 3rd key? 3rd key for what?

Super Stupid easy way to grind GP / JP / XP reguardless of the jobs.
Grapp Keep, both before and after NG+
Have Spellcraft and Good Measure set on every character with Holy Magic as the support job.
Vivify x2 + Mist = deals 100% max HP to all undead.
One person can have More Money set instead of Good Measure, in which case they would do
Vivify + Mist = deals 50% max HP to all undead
Vivify + Mist = deals 50% max HP to all undead
This works regardless of level or any stat the character has. Each character will full clear an entire screen of monsters, so without any brave procs you can do four and get 999JP and a ***ton of money / XP.

There's also the catmancer sub ability that doesn't allow enemies to get the first strike.

Just started the game today after beating BD. I am liking it so far, I was afraid that the main characters would be super cliche lol but seeing Edea and Tiz back was really nice.
Why in the world did the change the pronunciation on Edea? I liked it better the way it was.
