Can we maybe talk about job strategies for Bravely Default? Second can come, too, if you want.
I'm almost at the point where I have to fight that Valkyrie chick, and I find myself wracking my brain to make my team synergize, while giving them jobs that fit their character.
For now, I have Tiz as a Monk with Sword Lore and Two-Handed, since I'm trying to use the Monk's high STR stat. I coupled that with the Sword Magic subset, just so he had some elemental prowess to work with.
Agnés is my healer/mage, and I thought maybe Red Mage would fit her, but I'm afraid that using the two different schools would drain her MP. What's more, I feel she's more of a White Mage what with her being vestal to the Wind Crystal. I gave her Rod Lore and Auto-Aspir Blade for the Rejuvenation Special, and to get back some MP from all the magic blasting.
Ringabel is a hard one to figure out. While I see him being a Red Mage with the Chivalry subset making sense, in practice, it doesn't work. Both skill sets have no synergy with each other, so I thought maybe keeping him as Ranger with the Time Magic subset would be nice, since he's filling a slot.
Therein lies Edea. I simply don't know what to do with her. I set her as a Spell Fencer, and gave her the Freelancer's skill set, but beyond that I'm not sure what would fit her for the party. Of course, I prefer to have Examine when I absolutely need it.
So there you have it. Call my planning or wall-of-text 'autismal' if you'd allow it. I seem to be just really confused on how to build my team based on those restrictions, and hopefully you guys will give me some advice.
Game is easy as fuck just use daggers or dual axes Airy is the final boss

Good games not the greatest but had a lot of moments that made me smile and care about the characters
its such a damn shame it got censored, espeically the second game because the censorship for that is beyond retarded

I'm playing it patched.
Not when you fight for the Red Mage asterisk.

Don't think about planning out your jobs too much, by chapter 5 it will be super easy to grind all jobs to max lvl (kill rafflesias outside florem, give 2 people natural talent/knuckle lore, spam cresent strike). By the endgame you'll need it anyway.
Btw the best build I've ever made is monk with black magic & natural talent, phantom weapon, and magic critical. You can cast punch magic, combining the spell power with your fists and deal 9999 damage with basic fire to all enemies. Too bad it doesn't work with white magic though. Other than that you'll want a spiritmaster/white mage with hasten world (stillness will help you for every boss fight), a performer/freelancer (my hero + mimic is a bp cow), and a ninja/spell fencer with hawkeye, precision, and katanas (use ikkikasi to deal 9999 damage twice, meaning x6 9999 with 3 defaults).

Black mage everyone. Beat the whole game with it without dieing or a lot of grinding. Only switched classes when I got Sage so I could grind for JP for every class

Sorry, I haven't played it in a long time and I played in Japanese, but there are some real game breaking strats. You can totally break the game with Dark Knights spamming that attack that hits the party and all enemies, and someone with the red mage trait and status spells to poison your party to earn extra BP and put up the buff that causes dark elemental attacks to heal you. You end up getting max BP every time to spam countless dark knight attacks to hit everything and heal yourself for huge numbers. It's fucking broken you can rape the whole game effortlessly.

Pretty much this. If i remember correctly the move was called Dark Nebula. Hits all enemies/players on screen, but you equip your team with a Dark Shield and it nullifies all damage done to the player. They fixed this in Bravely second so that the dark shield only nullifies 50% dark damage, so the strat doesn't work as well.
My go to strat is Monk/Dark Knight. Monk has a move called Phoniex Flight which converts your total HP - 1 (reducing your HP to 1) as damage done to an enemy and Dark knight has a move called Minus Strike, which deals the your max HP - your current HP. If your at 9999 HP, then your dealing max damage each turn. Most things usually die after Braving 4 times with each character.
There are loads of broken strats in Bravely Second involving Exorcist/Black Mage.

Was the second game uncensored version released or something? Was only outfits or text too? Does it have DLCs? Its about time to play it
