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!
