Just a quickie here. I am some thirty hours in on Bravely Default and I am really loving it. I've actually logged more time with it than Pokemon X. And while certainly the former has the "new shiny" effect going for it, there's something in the game that has made it that much more accessible -- the encounter slider.
Not since the Forza series introduced the Rewind button has a feature so increased my enjoyment of a game. The encounter slider can be moved up or down increasing or decreasing the chance of encountering baddies while traversing the map. It means choosing whether I want to fight extra baddies so it's easier to grind up or avoiding them altogether so I can head to town to spend a night at the comfortable inn, replenish all of my party's HP and MP and revive any KO'd member.
How awesome is that? If you've ever run out of repels, you'll appreciate it that much more. The game is great for reasons beyond that, but it's something that can really ease frustration and that's fine by me.
