Don’t let the odd moniker fool you; Bravely Default II is, at heart, a traditional Final Fantasy adventure by another name. In the classic mold, the game follows four ragtag warriors on a quest to restore balance to the elemental crystals governing the world. Even many of the spells and items you acquire along the way are lifted directly from past Final Fantasies. But Bravely Default introduces its own unique ideas to the mix as well, such as its namesake Brave and Default commands, which let characters skip turns to accrue points that can then be spent to unleash multiple actions at once. It’s deep and inventive, and when coupled with the flexible job system, affords an almost dizzying amount of freedom in tinkering with your party build.
