right before act 4? i forget if i'm in act 2 or 3, i think it's 3.
i just finished the fire temple, so the 3rd crystal. (as in, i did it today haha)
i'm on the 'for the sequel' japanese release, but you can change the language in the settings to make it english.

i can give you my save if you want, if that is what you are looking for?

-edit.
The boss battle was the battle with the giant fish in the bottom of the town thats a boat / airship.

hmm no i don't think i am there yet, i don't remember a giant fish

Cearp. Yes, you'd be my hero. Is the save stored on the internal SD of the 3ds, where launcher.dat is saved? so I would grab the appropriate rom, your save, throw the japanese rom on the gateway and your save on the internal sd of the 3ds somewhere maybe root folder?

no problem, glad you appreciate it! the save is stored on the 'big' sd card, not the micro sd in the gateway.
so yeah, where the launcher.dat is, you get the rom, then put the save on the sd card, in the root folder yeah i think that's where gateway put them. it will have the correct name when i send it to you, just put it on. the title menu will be in japanese i think, but the game will play in english, i'll save it like that so you won't have to worry. only a few minor minor things, are not in english, like some special attack names, but apart from literally like 3 things, the game is 99.999% english, so don't worry.


ok, so my save, i've finished the town restoration, i have about 70,000 pg, i've done all the subquests so far, got all the summoner spells that i can so far.
i have saved right before i fight the swordmaster guy, kamiizumi. my team is about level 37, and i'm having a hard time beating the swordmaster, i might need to grind some more ha.

so ok, you want me to send you my save, no problem.
download this rom - Bravely_Default_For_the_Sequel_JPN_3DS-HR
let me know when you have that and i'll pm you my save

level 54 ouch, that's a lot of grinding. i had it on hard mode for the first 10 hours i think, then i put it on normal, the game is hard enough for me as it is lol.
i don't like to grind too much, but i read the final boss is hard even at level 99... so, grinding or not, there will be a challenge

Hi, bit of a longshot but does anyone have a save file for Bravely Default at around level 20? I lost mine, just about to beat the boss to get the summoner job. I have an EU game.. Please, I'd appreciate it so much!

instead of bumping and posting in many different existing and OLD threads about the same issue, if you read them you would have found what you wanted.
one of the thread where you asked the same question, I posted the answer just above your message and explained where to find all the saves for all the levels and different game progress.


Next time, please, don't post the same questions in multiple places.
choose one thread, and wait for users to answer.
Read existing thread, even the one you used had the answer!

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    never had that i don't think
