Is the game actually hard without abusing the broken stuff? Or is it just for the kick of it? I haven't heard many people complain about the difficulty yet, only mention how they've had trouble against the dragons at first.

Some of the bosses I've gone against have been hard, but I'm half way through the game and am only around level 30. I really only had trouble with two of the optional bosses, and 1 main boss, and one of the optional ones never got silenced so he just spammed cura on himself which extended the fight....

I mostly just love being a god at whatever RPG I'm playing, which is why I'm going to favor Mages when I replay Kingdoms of Amalur after I finish Bravely and play FF4 again.

In other news, I found out there's a Zwaihander in Bravely Default, told my friend and he immediately made it his Steam account name, lol. I will probably use it when I find it because it was one of the more effective weapons for PvE in Dark Souls, and my friend swears by it.

Please O glorious Moonbutt, tell me the secrets of the broken shit.

I'm assuming Ninja/summoner/Knight are 3 of the more broken classes/jobs?

I'm giving you a really small selection because you're probably smart enough to figure out all the other broken stuff in the game. Also, don't read it if you enjoy figuring stuff out yourself.

+ Show Spoiler +

Against physical only stuff, 4x Ninjas with Transience. Add Counter Amp and Comeback Kid for extra laughs. Everyone uses Utsusemi and then press Auto-battle. Watch as the enemy kills themselves trying to attack into 100% evasion+counter.
Swordmaster/Pirate: Use Free Lunch them spam Amped Attack for the free 4x hits.
Performer/Freelander: My Hero then 3x Mimic. Gives 4 BP to everyone on your team for for the cost of 2 BP. With Hasten World ability, you can do this every turn. So basically you can spam the BP-cost attacks or just get the equivalent of 4x turns every turn.
Vallyrie High-Jump Abuse: Realise that the turn you land after jumping you're immune to damage. Set someone to have Hasten World. Make everyone on your team super fast. Everyone uses High-jump. Press auto-battle and walk away.
Read what Adaptation on the Spiritmaster does. Abuse Dark Knights and Dark Nebula.
To be honest, read the descriptions of anything the Spiritmaster does.

The game can be pretty hard yes. You can't just blindly rush into boss battles and you want to have a strategy. If you have a balanced team, you can generally figure it out on the go. There's also some really nasty stuff late-game, but they're all plot spoilers.

A lot of the bosses have status immunity. Otherwise the game would be ridiculously easy if all you had to do to win was just spam Stop/Death status effects or something lol.

If you're level 30, I assure you that you are not half way through the game lol.

driving in snow/rain during night time with bad windshield wipers is the scariest experience ever.

Try doing it when there is road construction AND an accident to go around, driving behind an asshole in a fucking SUV.

yeah, I saw one guy drive briskly past me and then about 1 min later saw him spun out on the side of the road

people around here generally know how to operate in snow - there's just occasionally that dumbass or two who's fun to look at

Here!

Recently after just now watching the trailer, I kind of want to do a run-through, but using a manly 2-handed weapon all the way through.

Something like a Zweihander or Bastard Sword or something.

Also decided to change my ringtone/text msg alert to

Never get tired of this.

I've had Demon Souls for months but haven't given it a try yet. The whole idea just seems daunting.

it's incredibly unforgiving and frustrating, but also amazingly rewarding when you get past almost every section

edit: I've never played Demon Souls

I know I should probably just jump into Dark Souls but I'm weird about series and even skipping a spiritual predecessor doesn't sit right with me.

I played Demon Souls. I got bored of it after Chapter 2, I think.

I don't see the hype about old-school difficulty when I can just play old-school games anyway.
