Description



Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, nature's masters,
The Crystals' power exceeds the hand of man,
And if unleashed, would bring down death, disaster,
Calamity and blight upon the land.
―― Ancient quatrain of Kingdom Musa

Guided by fate, it’s up to you to stop the forces that threaten these heroes and all of Excillant.

A new entry in the “Bravely” series
A new world, a new story, and all-new Heroes of Light
"Four new Heroes of Light emerge"

Seth

A young sailor who drifts to the continent of Excillant and is the main character of this story.
Meet Gloria, an exiled princess whose kingdom was robbed of its Crystals, and set out on a journey to recover them with her.

Gloria

The princess of Musa, a kingdom that once watched over the harmony of the world - but the loss of the kingdom's Crystals led Musa to destruction. Having fallen into despair and gone into hiding, she decides to embark on a journey to retrieve the Crystals.

Adelle

A mercenary for hire. She travels with Elvis as his bodyguard in his search for an asterisk.

Elvis

A scholar who travels the world. Embark on a journey in search of a particular asterisk needed to unravel the last spellbook left by his master.



In addition to a traditional, turn-based battle system that combines jobs and abilities, you can enjoy innovative and strategic battles unique to the Bravely series by taking control of your turns via the Brave and Default system.

Brave and Default

Brave Points (BP) dictate how many actions a character can use in a single turn. Players can have characters 'Default' to stock up to three additional BP to use in a turn, or characters can 'Brave', to use more than one BP to perform multiple actions. Balancing stockpiling and using BP is a key component in battle strategy.

Jobs and Abilities

Each character can exhibit both a primary and secondary job class, with each job specializing in different abilities.
Combining jobs allow you to handle two abilities simultaneously. You can create an all-rounder balanced in offense and defense, or perhaps a character that specializes in magic. Your tactics and how you develop each character are up to you.

Acquire New Jobs

“Asterisk bearers” will often block your path forward. By defeating them, you will obtain an Asterisk that enables you to change jobs.

Bravely Default II is not a direct sequel to the original game for anyone wondering. It follows more the Final Fantasy approach of sequels being disconnected from one another, and in my opinion that is the best way to

I write this review fresh out of my first full playthrough of BD2. I have played both Flying Fairy and Bravely Second around when they came out. THIS REVIEW HAS SPOILERS FOR CONCEPTS THAT THE BRAVELY DEFAULT SERIES

Although this game has faced harsh criticism for its abysmal voice acting, I believe there are some positive aspects you should know about. The storyline is fairly average and feels quite linear—and at times a bit

Graphics: 7/10. 3D Chibi style which isn't my fave, but the watercolour style zones are beautiful. The dungeons can be a bit bland but not bad. Story: 7.5/10. Surprisingly dark at times, likeable cast. Do you like

Overall a very fun and enjoyable experience that I recommend to anyone who likes turn based combat and / or traditional jrpgs. It feels like a great modern take on the genre with a lot of the rough edges of similar

Narrative too dull to interest anyone familiar with these games. Gameplay too hard to be an entry point for the uninitiated. A game truly for no one. EDIT: If you plan on getting this for the challenge alone, then you
