Hey, did you know that salt will help you melt that ice? Sorry, couldn't resist. Maybe you need to borrow a hair dryer with a really long extension cord?
Seriously, though, is the goal to remove the ice or just to make the walkway passable? Kitty litter spread on the ice will get rid of the slip factor without having to remove the ice. Use the cheap, non-clumping stuff, though. Saw dust will work, too, but it will insulate the ice and keep it from ever melting.
Bravely Default will be one of the first games I invest in whenever I get the hardware to play it on.
