Bravely Default - Thief Job Overview

[@iamthehobo]

Hearing the OST in the background of these videos remind me of how incredible it was. Octopath has higher audio quality and more technical proficiency but I feel like these really nail the catchiness that I want in a video game tune

While I was editing this, I was surprised at how many times I either said or typed the word "Steal". I don't know the exact number but I'm sure it was a lot! LOL

Can you please do spell fencer next?

[@Jadersgames]

@@alicecarrillo477 I'm going in Job Wheel order, so next up is Merchant, but then it will be Spell Fencer. A bit of a wait for it, but hopefully here soon!

Thief is one of my favorite jobs across the entire game, and it's probably my most widely used sub-job for my physical carries. It both comes early, and scales well into the endgame. Thief as a MAIN job can feel a bit underwhelming. theyre not really a power class- they really are there to steal for the most part. They have serviceable stats, but they do get outpaced by some more dedicated damage dealers, and the real pain point is the lack of a wide area option. Their biggest selling point is using Godspeed Strike the best, but not even mimic can really help much with that 2BP cost. there are setups and strategies, but it is an ironically slow option for the speedy thief. No, the real ability i fawn over is Life Thief- it's a drain attack(which is important), and self sustain is good in and of itself. But for the low cost of 1 support slot, Burgle and Buff turns it into a universal 125/150% p.atk modifier. a self heal that boosts damage is crazy. The biggest drawback is the 75% accuracy- this means being forced into main job, spending even more support slots on master thief(why is this 3 slots!?), or losing your accessory slot to thieves gloves to make it reliable. honestly, i prefer the third option as an accessory slot is well worth a self heal+150% boost, but i understand it's a playstyle choice and not a hard "BiS". pairing a thief subjob onto a physical attacker with good AoE is just a solid swiss army knife unit- life thief+burgle and buff just adds alot of consistency- they need to be killed outright to be stopped and it takes alot of stress off of your white mage. and youre still a thief- obviously as a subjob, without master thief, this makes stealing and mug just a headache of a gamble, even with thieves' gloves. sub is just a worse option, but its still AN option, which can just be handy as a sort of "ending the fight anyway, lets see if we get anything" or on weird or dead turns that you might not want to deal damage. its really not the most notable utility, but its not outright nothing either. and of course godspeed strike is still there. And it certainly there. it's strong and keeps thief mainjob omni-relevant. as a sub, its not exactly the same. thief is just the fastest. but it's there. it's neat. it's cute.

It might be how Edea wears the hoodie. Just my thoughts on what makes it look wrong.

[@Isaac-lunar09]

My problem with her hoodie is that it covers all her hair. She's looks bald every time I look 😅. Maybe if some of her hair showed or she wore the hoodie down it would look better

[@oceanman7336]

its the hood and the fact that she doesnt have her iconic bow as apart of the ensemble

Do you remember stealing the bugged Elixir from Nemesis Mammon? Good times

[@Jadersgames]

I miss those days... Maybe if SE decides to remaster/remake/port Bravely Default/Second, we could see a return to the Nemesis goofiness. One can dream

[@tabrissousac9895]

I love using godspeed strike, i just too op, melting about every boss HP, even in BV 2

[@Jadersgames]

I don't know what was going through their heads with Godspeed Strike in BD II, IT'S SO BROKEN! xD
