    This is the newest bravely rpg in the series. This is a great entry to the series because it is stand-alone and doesn’t require playing previous games in the series to understand the story. One of the better releases this year.

    I bought it to play since I really liked the first one. My husband started playing it first and is loving it. He said the functionalities resemble Final Fantasy V a lot. The depth of the story and the job system are very nice add-ons.

    Love this game and series. Old school rpg fans will like this. Especially old school final fantasy fans. The job system is super fun and makes you want to find more during the story. The artwork for the game is gorgeous. Get it!!!

    Final Fantasy on the Switch

    From what I have played thus far, this is a fun game made by one of my favorite software developers. It incorporates a lot of traditional elements from the Final Fantasy franchise for better or worse. That's OK with me since Final Fantasy has bee one of my favorite gaming franchises for about as long as i can remember, however, for that same reason the game loses some points as it doesn't feel like there are a whole lot of novel features to it by comparison to what can be found in other Square-Enix titles (granted, I am only about five hours into it at the time of writing this review). Best Buy loses points on this matter as they had it displayed for $30.00 and charged me closer to $60.00 for it at the register. I was excited to think that I was getting it for a markdown and a little disappointed when I found out that wasn't the case. Price transparency continues to strike me as something that Best Buy needs to work on! Overall, this is a fun game, though, and I apologize for being a little late in getting my review for it out.

    Absolutely amazing. Not sure what else to say. If you like turn based RPGs, this one is for you. So many moments give you the chills. Voice acting is excellent, OST (like all Bravely games) is some of the best in the industry.

    Was a fan of the previous two on 3ds and I'm enjoying this one just as much. It's a fun throwback with some modern adjustments. If you love to grind and enjoy cute and charming characters give this a go .

    This game is amazing. It brings back the old turn-based RPG formula with an upgraded visual palette from its 3DS predecessors. It's very grindy but worth it when it comes time to fight the boss. Highly recommend!

    My husband loves it and play during his free time. It's a tactical fighting game type if you like these type of games. Probably more for older kids or people who likes these type of games. Graphic is good.

    Bravely Default 2 Review

    Bravely Default 2 is a lot of fun, with gorgeous, stylized graphics and smart gameplay mechanics that reduce the tedium from the grind inherent to the genre. The story is decent and presented well, but it’s not going to have many surprises. Highly recommended for JRPG fans; others should try out the free demo before purchasing.

    This game was definitely made for fans of classic JRPGs. If you dont enjoy grindy and challenging gameplay, I would wait for a sale. The story is ok, but the world, music and characters are excellent.

    Bravely Default 2 is a fantastic sequel to previous entries. While the grind can sometimes be annoying, this IS a Jrpg and that's what they're known for. Story was nice and overall likable characters.

    This may be the third game in the Bravely Default series, there is no need for prior knowledge. The only thing from past games that are mentioned are references.

    While the story is anything groundbreaking, the gameplay is rock solid with plenty of job classes to explore. If the game clicks with you, you'll easily sink 50++ hours into this one.

    I absolutely love this series. It has a classic formula that gets more intricate the more jobs you unlock. This entry did away with random encounters, but I think it's still an amazing game.

    Absolutely a amazing turn base rpg. You will spend hours on creating the best team to beat the game. The best part is everyone you talk to about what jobs they run, everyone is different.
