So I bought and have been immersed in Bravely Second, the sequel to Bravely Default. I'm really loving it so far, has all the great qualities of the first one  and then some.

Then the game dumps on me the most bizarre optional minigame, which is basically a Sweatshop Manager with mechanics in the vein of Cookie Clicker or some other kind of idling game.This wasn't in Final Fantasy 5 Square, and it was my understand that the Bravely series is just FF5 with voice acting and Fairy companions. It's so bizarre and out-of-place, and honestly it was kinda really boring since there's extremely little interaction and the game hijacks your quest line in order to shove it into your face. I mean, sure, I dumped like 3 hours into it in order to max out my little Toy Sweatshop, and the game promised no compensation besides maybe a little money, so I did it just for the joy of watching numbers go up, but I still walked away going "What the F?"

Didn't Bravely Default have a similar minigame, rebuilding the main character's town?

: "True...However, what we'll be facing is entire orders of magnitude more powerful than what we've been fighting so far. We simply don't stand a chance unless something changes for the better."

: "Perhaps you're correct. It's not like we'll ever know now, will we?" The nun shook herself lightly, as though reorganizing her thoughts.

: "Forgive my dour attitude. I've just been doing a lot of thinking the past few days and very little of it has been positive."

: "I suppose it is good for something. And yet if we didn't have it, perhaps the Old Gods wouldn't be planning to kill all of us now."

If I wanted tits and laughs, I could watch Monster Musume or some other ecchi-comedy show.

I still like Rebuild, they're good flicks. I was just kinda disappointed because they had less of what I liked about NGE, in an attempt to be like other anime. They're basically fix fics.

To be fair, Evangelion already contained quite a lot of both of those.

"Oh no, I accidentally groped Rei!" "Oops, I saw Asuka naked!" "Isn't it hilarious, Asuka has to wear a fatsuit for a whole episode!"

All the "comedy", and I use that term loosely, in Evangelion is bog standard crap exactly the same as every other anime from the time and the one big advantage of Rebuild is that you get to dodge most of it even if it's technically, probably, a worse product than the show.
Of course you should watch the original show first, but I would much rather watch Rebuild ten times than have to sit through some of the absolutely dreadful scenes in the original again.

Pretty much this. The Rebuild movies are basically a condensed form of the main series, so the fanservice and comedy that were present in the original appear to be more in-your-face due to being concentrated into a couple of hour or so long movies.

Yeah okay the new character is kinda shameless but the point still stands.

((Gah, sorry. I started a new job, which has turned out to be terrible and I got all depressed and
Sorry again. Um. I'm kinda screwed here I think.))

Rikiti cried out as the massive snake overwhelmed him. None of his spells could help him in this situation; all he could do was try to escape.

Try to break free! Escape Artist would be best, but do something!

Never even heard of Man o' War until the other day when I saw the computer game on Steam's front page, and now folks are talking about it here. Huh.

Save action until after Senija goes.
If Knight F is destroyed, move to L-14 and stab Bone Archer A with the Iron Rapier.
If Knight F remains, move to M-13 and do the same thing.
