If you like turn-based RPGs, you’ll probably like this game. The story is nice, the voice-acting surprisingly good (not all cutscenes have read lines, though, more on that later) and the gameplay is…weird.BD has several functions that make it seem as though they DON’T want you to play. You can 1 SP (Sleep point) for every 8 hours the game is put into sleep mode (close the lid with the game running) that you can use to freeze time in any battle (allowing you to do extra moves).Furthermore, it includes a little village that runs on real time; you assign workers to tasks that take a certain number of REAL hours (some take 99 hours). You can speed it up by having more workers. By the way, you get one worker per streetpass from another BD player.Additionally, you can hit the Y button during a battle to repeat the previous attack commands, effectively allowing you to automate the fight.Lastly, the game allows you to change the frequency of attacks up to +100% and down to -100% (no attacks). This means you can grind very easily (I averaged one attack for every 4 seconds of walking when the frequency was set to +100%) for levels, items and money.This way it was set up makes it feel very rushed, but they can really help you if you aren’t the sort of gamer that can devote hours to a game. I’m glad these options are there, but they’re just not for me.As for the cutscenes, there are two types. The first has the characters moving around, making hand motions and expressions. There is alw.
Bravely Default is a gorgeous game with fun, lovable characters and a tremendous soundtrack. Of special note are the many steps it takes to make itself accessible, something its predecessor, the too-opaque-for-its-own-good Four Heroes of Light, did not do. Enemy encounters can be turned off when you just want to go from place to place or turned up when you want to grind. The difficulty can be changed at any time if an enemy is giving you trouble. The Friend Summon ability lets you call in a friend to attack for you. The game will even let you get both of the game’s endings on a single save file without a New Game Plus (but that particular feature is ALSO present).The game’s major flaw is a large amount of repetition in the later stages. Much of this repetition is in the form of sidequests, however, and is easily skipped. Players eager to get to the game’s final stages can plow through this part of the game in less than two hours (the aforementioned enemy encounter toggle comes in handy). My personal recommendation for people who want to see most of the game with a minimum of repetition is that they should do the following:-Do every sidequest in Chapters 1 through 4.-Skip all the sidequests in Chapter 5 except the Red Mage one (this unlocks a bonus item)-Do the sidequest that unlocks the last job in Chapter 6 (this is also the best time to go for the "bad" ending if you want to see it).-Do all the sidequests in Chapter 7.-Chapter 8’s sidequests can be done at any time.
If you like JRPGs then you will LOVE Bravely Default. They have taken old school Final Fantasy games as a base and then built new and innovative systems on top of it. They’ve made so many quality-of-life improvements on the JRPG template that I’m not sure I could go back to the old way. All that being said the second half of the game does take a risk, one that I personally think works for this game but could be considered very grindy.Pluses:1) Job system is the best I’ve play in a JRPG. There are 24 jobs and each character levels up each job individually. Also each character has access to the skills from their job + one other job. Then on top of that they have access to passive abilities from ANY number of other jobs. The build diversity is incredible. It’s the main reason why I was able to sink 85 hours into it.2)The graphics are gorgeous. All of the settings look like painting, with tons of intricate design. Tons of unique characters and monsters3)The characters are great. Your entire party is unique and likable if but a little cliche. After spending 85+ hours with them though I still like them.4)The Brave/Default system is a nice addition to the standard turn-based combat. What makes it probably the most interesting is that the enemies can do it too. it adds a nice layer of strategy and can help speed up those times when you need to grind.Minuses1) The story. The story isn’t bad but it’s not as good as the rest of the game and basically falls off the map for a few chapters.
It’s a typical JRPG story with amazing features such as the ability to take multiple turns at once (braving) or defend (defaulting) to build up turns, 4 times battle speed (which skips summon animations), encounter rate control (0-200%), autosave on zone transition (even floors and buildings, keep it on), a log of every cutscene and chat in case you forgot what happened, and an amazing soundtrack (especially the battle music). It can get a little repetitive in the middle even with the side quests, but after that they start throwing multiple bosses at you at the same time instead of just drip feeding you story and it becomes interesting again. There are two possible endings but you can do both on the same save file. After you finish one it brings you back to before you made that choice so you can see the other ending. So don’t worry about not saving just to see the other ending without going on youtube. Also there’s optional bosses from streetpass and "netpass" (so you don’t need friends that have it) that can be very difficult, harder than the final boss (which is no joke even on normal). Also, difficulty is just for your own sake. You lose nothing (no exp, money, job points) by just playing on normal instead of hard.
Played and enjoyed the demo version. Got the full game and am about midway through completion. What I like about this game is the customization of your party via the job classes and abilities. As you begin there will be limited jobs available to you. As you progress you can choose more classes. More classes means more ways to configure your party. And that means finding a setup that works for you in defeating nasty enemies. And you can use abilities you have unlocked for one job while having equipped another job, leading to many more configurations for the player. Pretty cool.Other features I like include the ability to connect with friends and gain access to the job abilities they have unlocked in their game. Comes in handy if a friend is ahead of you and you can access some more powerful abilities in a pinch. They say if you coordinate with friends you can each focus on leveling up certain jobs and more quickly expand your ability pool.Art style is very endearing. I especially like the towns. I am still in awe how beautiful most towns look once the camera zooms out.The story is ok thus far. Some party members are more endearing than others. Some funny moments in the story thus far too. The story doesn’t get overly complicated as has Final Fantasy games of late. But the overall feel of the game invokes that series in terms of battle mechanics and artistic style. The voice acting isn’t half bad. I was surprised there was so much done for a 3DS title (I am new to the 3DS, thi.
A solid game reminiscent of old final fantasy games, I have had a lot of fun with this one. There is some grinding, it uses the job system and does it well. If you have liked leveling up multiple jobs to combine their abilities in creative ways in the past, you will likely love this game. The 3d is very nice, though not the best I’ve seen for the 3DS. my biggest beef is probably that this is the first cartridge-type game I have played to have in-app purchases that aren’t DLC. I haven’t had to use them, but you can buy potions to help you out in combat with your money. I find the inclusion tacky. I just pretend it’s not there and enjoy the rest of the game, but as an oldschool gamer I shudder to think of what this might imply for the future of gaming.
I’ve had Bravely Default for about a week now and as an older gamer I can say that it’s very comfortable to me. Meaning at the heart of Bravely Default it’s a Final Fantasy game that most of us are familiar with. There are also enough tweaks of play that upgrades the game over those Final Fantasy games of the past. Did I mention that I love it?Story: Without giving away spoilers I will say that it’s the first story in a long long time is engaging and one where you don’t have to keeps notes on the who the characters are. Thank you Square Enix! During play there will be a number of little intermisisons that funny and GREATLY add to the story so DO NOT skip them!Gameplay: RPG’s have the normal rythem of fight things, level up, fight bigger things and that is here as well but that’s where it ends. During combat you have to spend Brave points and you earn points as you fight. It makes for interesting decisions (very tactical). I really like this newly added wrinke. I also really liked the fact that you can turn random encounters down or off but if you do that you will have to grind.Graphics: Looks sharp on the 3DS with the 3D aspect turned up! The towns and villages of Bravely Default look incredible.Bottom Line: If you are into RPG’s buy it. You won’t be disappointed. Also do you the grinding needed for the true ending, it’s worth it!
I’ve been a gamer since I was in diapers… And I’ll still be a gamer when I’m old and back in diapers. I love all styles of gaming and all systems (including PC, all handhelds, and consoles). In comparison to other JRPGs, this one holds a special place. There are TONS of turn-based RPGs, but this one is superb. The story line is nothing new, but it does have it’s own twists and turns. The game provides an excellent tutorial for everything (including every job that you unlock, as you progress)! You will be provided with detailed videos, chances to practice, and detailed text. Even though the battle system is complex, it is easily manageable. The various classes (jobs) and abilities (including your own custom special move, that YOU create) are excellent! I really enjoy having the freedom to mix and match. There aren’t many weapons and abilities at the beginning, but that gets better as you progress. You’ll gain the ability to augment powers into your weapons, create your own special move, and so on.With all of that, this game is excellent! The gameplay, alone, is worth the buy. However, it gets better! The streetpass feature is used very well! If you pass another player, you’ll send/receive each others chosen characters (The game gives you an AI friend and you can receive characters through the internet, once per day). You can call on these characters during a battle (only once for one attack). Each player may choose the job and move they wish to use for their streetpass usage.
I don’t want to gush, but this game is probably one of the best RPGs of all time. It’s surprisingly deep, looks amazing, has amazing game play, and some of the best music of any game I have ever played.
I really love this rbg game it reminds me so much with the old nintendo final fantasy game .. its alittle bit hard at the end though i still couldnt finish it and i find the repetition of events that happens at the middle of the game so boring.As for the packaging it was packaged perfectly secure and came fast ♡

I’ve beaten this game twice, working on my third time. It is great. Yeah, its repetitive, in more ways than one, but the various paths and job options make this game great. The Brave system (allows you to save up turns or use future turns) really is a fresh take on the classic JRPG. It opens up more strategies and tactics for different kinds of gameplay. Going full defensive to save up turns and then launching a barrage of damage is generally my play style and the brave system caters perfectly to me. But I also went full offensive play style and that worked out too. There are other reviews that go more in depth, but I don’t like explaining the game too much. I just recommend it.

I love Final Fantasy, the series. I just never seem to finish them. I’m never involved enough to grind my way to excellence and very few of the characters have really caught my interest. That being said, Bravely Default is, as my friend and I have said, the Final Fantasy game that should have been made instead of a few others, frankly.You start out as Tiz and things pretty much just get crazier down the road. I think it falls a bit by the wayside when you come around the ending, though I won’t say exactly why, but it’s nowhere near the sort of game where you absolutely have to have a guide to beat it. I love the different outfits for the different classes, how certain ones are different for each character, and I especially love that they allow you to leave the Japanese voice-acting on – frankly, the English one for some of the characters is absolutely painful.The art style is simple, but gorgeous, the characters are typically likable (Ringabel amuses me the most), and it carries a few twists that we’ve come to expect from more classical FF-style writing. You have to grind a LOT in this game, but I’ll be honest, with the different jobs to level up, and the ability to fast-forward the fighting, it was kind of a breeze. You can also adjust encounter rates, from +100% (you can’t walk two steps without meeting something, for fast leveling) to -100% (no encounters at all), and everything in between. It really takes down the stress of trying to get from point A to point B and having.

Very much like one of the older Final Fantasy games. In fact, this is probably the best Final Fantasy game released in the last ten years even though it’s not really a Final Fantasy game.The job system is interesting, the writing is excellent, the character designs are cute, monster designs are interesting, but do fall victim to palate swap syndrome, and the gameplay is definitely a throwback to old school turn based RPGs. Fans of the genre should not miss this game.I’ve finished the game without using the "second" powers during battle. It requires that you leave the 3DS in standby mode with the game running to recharge this ability. [Close the 3DS while leaving it turned on with the game running]. It’s an interesting mechanic, but due to how much of a pain it is to use and the limited number you can have it’s not really all that useful. The game can easily be completed without it.Specials are interesting and require certain actions be taken a set amount of times to use. Usually something like using spells, items, or damage enemies with a specific type of damage a certain amount of times. It varies from class to class and keeps things interesting.The Brave and Default system is neat and very useful. Brave allows players to burn up Brave Points to allow multiple actions in a single turn. Up to four can be taken in a single turn, and you start with one at the beginning of a battle. You can go negative, but if you do you lose future turns until you get back into posi.

The story of the game is great, the game is incredibly long (for those of us RPG fans that love an in depth adventure), there are plenty of side quests to keep you interested. There’s very little grindiness and the best feature is that you can completely control monster encounters with a setting. Ever get frustrated that you get so many monster encounters in a dungeon that you forget the direction you’re moving between battles and accidentally backtrack? Or a dungeon is so long that by the time you get to the big boss, you have nothing left and you either waste all your best items or get pummeled? You can set random battles to -100% (so 0 battles) but you can also set it to +100% so if you really do want to grind you can have battle after battle…preferably right next to a town so you can heal and save and do it some more.The title is also the key mechanic in the game. The battle system is a typical turn based non-tile based RPG system (think the original FF for NES), but with a twist. You can “Brave” or “Default” each round in addition to your abilities. To “Brave” means to do more than one action (up to 4 by default, but there are future skills to change that and effects that limit it). To “Default” means you’ll be blocking (lower damage from monsters), you’ll skip your turn, but you’ll store one of your brave points. So that means you can spend 3 turns blocking, then do 1 turn using 4 abilities, then immediately start blocking again. If you “Brave” without stor.

Very similar to Final Fantasy V, one of the best games on 3DS.I travel a lot for work and after playing a ton of Fire Emblem, I needed a new 3DS game to hold me over. I picked up Bravely Default because it sounded interesting, even though the screenshots I saw underwhelmed me. I’m so happy I got this game. It’s exceeded my expectations. I didn’t realize it was also made by Square Enix, who used to be one of my favorite developers. They’ve earned a lot of credit back with this release.What I really love about the game is the way you can develop your characters. Job classes are unlocked and customizable – you can combine the skills and abilities of one class with another, and even mix and match support abilities from multiple classes. No one class is locked into weapons and armors, so yo really do get to decide how to outfit your characters, although some classes get higher stats with weapons and armors that go with the class. But I do really like how the game doesn’t limit you.I also like the style, even after thinking I wouldn’t. The backgrounds are masterfully done, with an almost "painted"look to them. The worlds are vibrant and diverse. The battle animations are top notch.The game-play during battles has a very interesting mechanic where you can save up moves or borrow against your moves and unleash deadly combos. At first this makes the game seem like easy-mode, but once the battles start getting harder, you have to be careful about how and when to use this.Finall.

A throwback to the classical era of JRPG on the SNES, Bravely default has been out now for some time. It’s currently out of print, so your best bet is going to be getting this used until Sqenix/Nintendo decides to make more or possibly bundle this game together with Bravely second (sequel also released on the 3ds) on the Switch. Fingers crossed!Interesting, quirky characters keep the simple-enough story plotting along. The storyline is very much Final Fantasy for the NES, at least at the beginning. Dialogue is well written, and will frequently put a smile on your face just by the goofy nature of a few characters.On gameplay- this game has enough depth in its combat to keep you gripped for the dozens of hours it will take to finish. Each character in your party will be able to change jobs, ie class, inbetween battles. Each job is leveled up individually, and you’ll be rewarded with cool dynamics between primary and secondary active and passive abilities. The braving and defaulting system is also a cool way to reward knowledge of fight dynamics and windows of opportunity.Overall, if you have so much as a passing interest in JRPGs, you’ve likely already at least heard of this game. If you havent, try to find this !

If think the last truly great RPG was FF7. If you believe most of the greatest RPGs were released for the SNES. If you’re tired of seeing grids or flip-up puzzles as a method for leveling up your characters, and if you’re tired of seeing combat systems that are designed to be as fast and as flashy as possible, then you are like me, and you will love this game.It has everything people like us look for in a classic RPG. A very intricate job system that allows for countless ways to customize your characters. It has a level of challenge that requires you to think about your choices (and an easy mode for new school gamers that don’t like a challenge.) It has a story that will captivate you.Don’t expect it to be just another rehash though. The new combat system has everything we want from a turn based system, but with a new twist that makes all of your tactical decisions more complex and more rewarding.Simply put it’s the game that gamers like me have been waiting for from Square Enix since they added the Enix.

The game is really great, has good dialogue and voices. And the battle system was really fun to play even for someone like me who doesn’t like to fight too much on games.I do wish that some of the costumes from the Japanese edition of the game could’ve been included since they look so cool.The biggest problem you’ll encounter is the second half of the game though. If you don’t mind being spoiled, you can check it out on the Internet since everyone complains about it and the only benefit is a bit of new dialogue and items.Otherwise, if you don’t mind that, it’s a good game to play if you want to pass the time with a good plot. Also, it’ll be easier and more enjoyable if you play it with your friends as well.

What you need to do is download the demo to see if you will like it! Yes, I’ve bought the game and I’m waiting on it to come in the mail.I downloaded the demo a few days ago to play after work between cleaning the house and whatnot. It was interesting at first, the first few battles I was suprised at how “hard” (just not easy) the enemies were and after just two or three battles I was mezmorized by how much more strategy this game required than most JRPGs. I was experimenting with different classes (they are not all unlocked at once) and I could not stop explaining things and telling my fiance about it. It’s just so different than any game I’ve ever played; even though it’s final fantasy-style, they have different flavors.If you’ve read any other reviews or looked at their website at all, I’m sure you’ve read about the “Brave and Default” system. Personally I think this immediately makes the title cheesy but that doesn’t matter. You can either choose to take a defense turn to stack “battle points” (how many attacks you can make per turn), go ahead and just do one action, or if the sitaution calls for it complete an action that puts you in the red. If you’re negative, the game will not allow you to take a turn (even defensively, I believe) until you have battle points again. If you have stacked then you can unleash several attacks/actions at once. So you could cast a defensive spell, cure, and attack all in one turn. You could make them all attacks. OR, some actions require mu.

This game fixes SO many of the problems with modern JRPGs. Feel like you need to grind? Well, the more battles you finish in one turn, the more EXP you get. The more battles you win without getting hurt, the more job EXP you get. You can also double the random encounter rate, or turn off random encounters from the option menu. The job system is robust and really, really fun. The game also does a good job of giving you balanced characters, and doesn’t really herd certain ones into specific jobs- anyone can be your party’s tank, or dps, or mage. My main complaint is the the pacing in this game is awful, and they reuse A LOT of the dungeons way too much- the game is about 10-15 hours longer than it needs to be. Still enjoyable overall though.
