Part 5: Meet a Special Character

Entry 5: Meet a Special Character



Here...



Keep this with you always. This is hope, you see. It's from those who care about you.



This device allows Bravely Second, which gives extra turns during combat. It's powered using SP, which are gained every eight real-time hours the game is in sleep mode. You can also spend real money to get some instantly, but that's completely unnecessary.

Anyway, Norende should be just through that entry next to the adventurer. Maybe Tiz is right. Even if the chance is slim, there might be someone left to save, something left to salvage--








Or not. Wait...



There is someone there.

Can you hear my prayers?



Familiar lines.

Can you see the wound torn open before me?

Please, let the walls of the world collapse no further. Let me be strong enough to stem this flood.

She then prays silently.







If you know something, tell me. Please. What caused that chasm?

Did anyone else survive? Surely at least a few others... I need information. Anything!



I won't accept that all those lives have ended. Not without a search!



You alone survived. I am sorry. I am sorry...



A strange mechanical noise comes from above...





...and we switch to this odd crew.



I've the eyes of a hawk, ha ha! And the nose of seven wolves!



Now stop yapping and go fetch.



What a pair.



...! The Sky Knights! I thought I'd covered my trail...!



What? Why!?

I'll not involve an innocent bystander.





Aah!

Gah, cannonfire!? This is madness!

Ngh...





And with that--





We have our second party member.



She comes equipped with a new type of armor. She's not a fighter-type, it seems.

Nowhere to go but back through the ravine.





While under cannonfire.




With two party members, it's easier to show off one of the most basic uses of the Brave/Default system: Everyone Braves three times, then attacks 4 times in a row, all in one turn. Without Defaulting it'll reduce BP to -4, but so long as all enemies die during that turn, there's no downside -- BP resets between battles.




The game encourages this type of play with Battle Bonuses. The orange and green bonuses listed (for winning the battle in one turn and taking no damage, respectively) give corresponding bonus EXP and JP. You can also get chain bonuses for doing this multiple battles in a row. This'll come in handy for grinding later.



Further down the ravine path, we find out how the Saturday Morning cartoon duo are doing.

There are only two tactics a real warrior needs! Frontal assault, and death by frontal assault!

Hah! Listen to yourself. In a froth over a little girl.





Mmm, good boy. Bring her back, and I may just reward you. But be quick about it. I'm opening fire as soon as I forget about you, and I've a short memory for dawdlers.

Y-yes'm!

The soldier runs off... and jumps down in front of our heroes.



Pause.

They don't seem like the type to listen.

Here they come!





Despite the dramatic opening, Sky Knight soldiers are only slightly stronger than the other enemies around here.



Will Tiz and Agnès (yes, her name was mentioned in the opening) make it out alive? This update's getting split into a smaller portion to spare the first page, so we'll find out later.


Next: PLOT, , and endless '.......'
