Summary
So, what this CRT is going to go over is a bunch of Bravely Series statements and feats that could potentially lead to some major changes, in the sense of upgrading the verse's current 2-As and High 2-As. In addition to that, a few missing abilities. Let's get started.

Ouroboros and the Celestial Realm
So, it's pretty popular belief that what makes Bravely Second's cast stand out from Default's is Providence and those who can fight him, i.e. High 2-A. Hoooowever, there's actually a bunch of statements that strongly imply Ouroboros and BD aren't that far behind them at all. As we can see in the following statements, it has actually been stated that Ouroboros is fully capable of destroying and remaking all of creation, including the Celestial Realm. Heck, that was even confirmed by Ann in Bravely Second, and supported by the fact that Airy already had gathered him the power needed to breach the realm.

Higher Layers of Existence
I didn't refer to Ouroboros' statements as the elephant in the room for a reason, and this is it. Essentially, it has been stated in Bravely Second that there "many and myriad planes of existence", all of which are referred to as "higher layers" than Luxendarc. What's more is that these higher planes are all beneath the Celestial Realm, the "end layer".

What Tier this Might Be
There are a few possibilities I can think of:

A) Massively boost the current 2-A ratings, although this wouldn't really be relevant if High 2-A Ouroboros is accepted.

B) 1-B: The scans speak for themselves, really; many and myriad higher layers of existence than Luxendarc, which need to be "ascended" into, similarly to Ouroboros ascending to the Celestial Realm.

C) High 1-B: As we can tell from the multiple statements indicating infinite alternate worlds in the Bravely Multiverse, particularly these two, the term "myriad" seems to be used as a reference to "infinite" rather than "countless", supported by the fact that the latter is a common use of that word regardless.

Some Potential Abilities
Immortality (Type 8): Not only are the main cast of Bravely Default physical manifestations of the Player, allowing them to get up and fight again, but it has also been shown that the cast of Bravely Second have some sort of canon tie to their save files. After the moon gets destroyed and, due to it shaping time, the flow of time completely stops, the Player is required to make a new save file, allowing Bravely Second's cast to engage in battle. This allowed to the characters to escape an endless loop of the moon getting destroyed.

Time Paradox Immunity: The save files encompass events even devoid of time, future, and change, and the characters can function properly after all of their saves have been deleted by Providence.

Non-Physical Interaction & Conceptual Manipulation: This allows the cast of Bravely Second to battle and defeat conceptual entities. This has been demonstrated on various occasions, where they defeated the manifestations of gluttony, lust, avarice, envy, pride, wrath, and sloth.

To further support these hax, we have the following journal entries for different enemies:

"He was a great leader once, and thought ever of his people. When he died, he was enshrined as a fertility god who brought blessed rain upon the earth. And yet...when a new people came and settled upon his lands, they brought their new culture with them and supplanted the old gods. And when they did so, this poor fellow became reviled as the very embodiment of man's greed."

~The journal entry for Mammon

"The wraith is a soul bereft of its body, a so-called vengeful spirit of malevolence. It has no physical form; rather, it is the manifestation of the hate and resentment it bears toward the world. It is a most vexing creature that seeks to hurt any living thing it finds."

~The journal entry for Wraiths

"A bringer of nightly horrors, this demon lurks in the long, dark hours before dawn.The very embodiment of all that humans find fearful in the dark, nightmares cast graviga, aspir, and curse. Much more than just tricksters, they are powerful foes that should not be underestimated."

~The journal entry for Nightmares

And whaddya know? This is supported even further, as a soul is stated to be the embodiment of one's wishes, dreams and desires.

Finally, Ba'als. These are recurring enemies in Default and Second, and they were stated to be the manifestation of Vega's unresolved feelings/despair.

Conclusion
Welp, tl;dr, the CRT went over multiple statements indicating that Ouroboros and those who scale to him should be upgraded due to the former being stated capable of destroying the Celestial Realm, which is currently accepted to be High 2-A or possibly much higher, statements that mention myriad higher planes of existence, which I suggest should bare-minimum be 2-A, possibly/likely 1-B to High 1-B, and a few abilities for the Bravely Default and Second playable characters: Conceptual Manipulation, Non-Physical Interaction, Immortality (Type 8) and Time Paradox Immunity.

Should that be accepted, it effects practically every profile we have here: Ouroboros, Providence and Agnès.
