5.0 out of 5 stars Familiar, with just enough new to satisfy
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2014
Platform For Display: Nintendo 3DSEdition: Collector's EditionVerified Purchase
Bravely Default is a game with a weird name, but an extremely familiar taste. Like an old, familiar shirt that you used to love back in the day, but put away because you wore it so much that the seams began coming loose and you didn't want to tear it into tatters. Bravely Default is a new name for a game series that literally everyone knew about, and almost as many loved... Final Fantasy. Intended to be a sequel to the Nintendo DS game, Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light, Bravely Default evokes a very familiar imagery with its usage of Firaga and Holy to the plot elements of the world's balance revolving around four magical crystals.

Bravely Default is a turn based Japanese RPG. I say this first because, while there are those who greatly enjoy this style of game, there are also a lot of people similarly turned off by such a thing, preferring a more action-packed or organic experience. Those who aren't dissuaded by the game being a turn based RPG should definitely read on, though, because this game has easily one of the most different combat systems when approaching a traditional turn based RPG in years. The game's name, Bravely Default, was actually derived from the nomenclature used in the game's combat system: Default allows a character to guard and reduce received damage, passing their turn without doing an action to stock up an additional BP for their next turn. Brave, on the other hand, lets you use BP to perform attacks, heal spells and various other actions.

What is most interesting here is the fact that you can take an advance on future BP up to three times- Since characters begin battle with 0 BP, players can immediately borrow up to 3 future turns at once to do four consecutive attacks per character for a quick win, all at the risk of defaulting on their loan (get it?) and risking defeat if the enemy survives because your characters now has to skip 3 turns in a row. The kind of depth this combat system allows is pretty impressive, even though it sounds fairly basic on the surface. Players can spam attacks during random battles because skipping future turns won't matter if the fight is won on the first- however, when players come across bosses that are also able to Brave and Default, a lot more strategy is needed in order to overcome the foe. Some stronger foes may be extremely difficult to take down if the healer can't go into negative BP ranges to heal up the party before a big attack, while other bosses may do severely damaging attacks for multiple turns, requiring that players make smart use of the Default command to reduce damage, spending their BP on attacking, healing and buffing all in the same turn.

Another important segment of the game lies in its job system. Your party of four characters can each use one of 24 different jobs to overcome foes, and those jobs extend from some Final Fantasy favorites, such as Black Mage, White Mage and Thief, but also some more unusual jobs like Merchant, Pirate and even a Vampire class. Some jobs will rely on their abilities to do damage, some focus on healing, some boost stats or have various other effects. Characters are able to level up each of these jobs to learn new abilities, up to 14 in each, and players are able to select support skills from a job they have unlocked, which can lead to a Black Mage still having access to White Mage abilities to round out a moveset.

Speaking of, there are a number of conveniences players may notice as they're going through the game: You're able to modify the encounter rate, turning them off altogether or doubling the random battles you come across. Players who want to grind are also able to turn off EXP, money and job point gain if you don't want to make the game too easy.

The aesthetic values of Bravely Default are gorgeous and will probably be the first things new players notice: The backgrounds are incredibly well designed, looking like watercolor or oil paintings, and even the character models aren't too shabby. The music is among the best composed soundtracks anyone will find on the 3DS while the voice acting isn't so bad in English, but there's always the option to use the Japanese VA track if you'd prefer.

All in all, it's a pretty great game. There is a pretty hefty amount of down time during Chapters 5 and up because the game requires you go back through the temple dungeons again in order to progress the story.... 4 more times, and the story doesn't really change much until reaching the third or so time, so I could imagine this would turn some players off.

All in all, I'd recommend this game to just about anyone. It's a very solid turn-based RPG, and if you're among the crowd that likes to dungeon crawl to great music then Bravely Default is most likely the game for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Return of Final Fantasy
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2014
Platform For Display: Nintendo 3DSEdition: Collector's EditionVerified Purchase
Bravely Default is that type of game that reminds us of why we love Turn based RPGs so much. It does everything right, to the robust battle system, to the colorful cast of characters, to it's gorgeous world in 3D. This is a game that fans have been long awaiting ever since it's announcement in 2012, and the waiting period for it's upcoming sequal is a large gaping void.

Bravely Default stars Tiz Arror, a young farmer who lives in the village Norende in a small kingdom. One day, a large dark-infused sinkhole completely destroys Norende, kills Tiz's younger brother and family, and strands the poor guy to the nearby city. When he awakens, he attempts to go back to his now-destroyed village and meets Agnes Oblige, a priestess known as the "Vestal of the Wind". Agnes reveals that the sinkhole was caused by dark forces inhabiting the world's crystals, and so, Tiz joins Agnes in her journey to awaken the 4 crystals and set everything right. Along the way, they are joined by the amnesiac Ringabel and Edea Lee, a former Sky Knight and daughter to the Grand Marshal (Whom is one of the antagonists of the game).

I would like to say that the story could end there, but the thing is that Bravely Default has two different "Phases" to it: Everything BEFORE Chapter 4 and everything AFTER chapter 4. I say Chapter 4 because after that point the story takes a gigantic nosedive into Science Fiction territory. Ill elaborate on this later.

BD's combat strikes a familar chord with old Final Fantasy titles. And make no mistake, this IS a Final Fantasy, just with a different name. Everything that made Final Fantasy great is here, and the game makes no attempt to disguise it. Battles will take the majority of your time and it is a classic turn based affair with a major caveat: Brave Points. Battles revolve around these points, as using any action will consume one. You automatically gain BP once per turn, but this is where it gets interesting. You have two more options in battle: Brave or Default. By Braving, you can sacrifice your BP to take an extra turn. By Defaulting, you can sacrifice your turn to gain extra BP. Put two and two together, and the battle system is all about how to manage BP, as well as HP and SP (The game's "mana"). This gets even more interesting as your enemies can use this system too, so battles will quickly escalate into a mindgame against the computer.

There is also a few more systems to mention as well. The first is Norende. After the initial tutorial level, Tiz will gain permission to rebuild Norende. You do this by allocating workers to fix the various shops that used to populate the village. When you put a worker to a shop, an allocated amount of time will appear. This is Real World hours, so when it says it will take 99 hours to fulfill an objective, it really will take more than 4 days. You can put additional workers to the same shop to lower that amount of time. However, you gain workers by using the game's online features, or get lucky and use SpotPass to gain extra people. You can gain one person per day if you have a working internet to your 3DS. This is the game's major weakness in my opinion, as the shops can take forever to unlock, and later levels all have that 99 hour period. I wouldn't complain that much, but the problem is that this games version of Limit Breaks, called Special Attacks, is unlocked through this system. And in battle those attacks can mean everything.

The second notable system is the Class System. Similar to Final Fantasy V, your 4 characters will get access to a total of 24 different classes throughout the game. You are also able to select a Sub Class, allowing one unit to use skills in two separate class pools. These classes range from the obligatory Knight, Thief, White Mage, Black Mage, Monk, and Red Mage (obvious FF staples) to a few more unique classes like the Spell Fencer, The Dark Knight, The Performer and The Spiritmaster. The classes is where the games battles really come into fray, as the varying abilities can change up how the entire battle unfolds. The performer for example uses skills to buff up their allies, with their final skill able to give everyone +1 BP. You also have access to Passive abilities as well, and they can range from stat boosts to in battle effects.

Lastly, there is Bravely Second. Other than being the name of the game's sequal, it's a...unique system in the game. During any point in battle, you can press the START button and time will literally freeze, allowing your character to act even during their opponents turn. Second also allows you to breach the 9999 limit, allowing you to inflict massive damage. I managed to clock in 970,654 points of damage against the final boss. However, Second uses "Sleep Points" which is gained for every 8 HOURS that the 3DS is in Sleep Mode. Or you can go online and buy a drink that automatically gives you 3 SP. Yes, there are microtransactions, yet this system isn't that bad. Most bosses are easy enough to not force you to use this if you plan right, and the only time I really needed to use it is during the final boss.

As for the story, it's a typical affair for FF titles. Yet one thing that must be mentioned is chapters 5-8. From Chapter 4 onward, the 4 characters get stuck in a seemingly endless time loop ala Groundhog's Day. This is where the game makes a giant nosedive, guarding each one of the crystals are 4 select bosses. This means that you have to fight the same 4 bosses a total of 5 TIMES. 4 of which IN A ROW. And each time the bosses get harder. I wouldn't mind a timeloop, but having to fight the same four bosses 5 times is a pain in the ass. Luckily, the game tries to put in subtle differences between each jump, and the mystery around the timeloop is ultimatly solved nearing the game's ending.

As for the characters, it's one of the best parts. Especially the english dub. Good god, the dub. The dub in this game is one of the best English Dubs I have heard in a while, considering that Japanese Games like these don't normally get great dubs. Notable voices include Ringabel, The Grand Marshal, Lord DeRosso and Alternis the Black Knight. Tiz and Edea also have great voices, and it's fun seeing the characters play off each other. Unfortunatly, the dub falters when it comes to Agnes. Agnes has a natrually high voice, but for some odd reason, whenever she is sad, angry, pissed off, thrilled, and/or terrified, her voice jumps two octaves. This makes some of her lines UNBEARABLE as it sounds like shes screaming. You also have access to the original Japanese Dub, as well as Dubs in Spanish, Danish, French and a few others.

Bravely Default is one of those few games that really need to be played. It is THE Final Fantasy title we have been waiting for since X. If you are looking for a great JRPG to put in about 105 hours (which is the amount of time I played this thing), then you should owe it to yourself to pick this game up.
