    Albeit the first iteration of this series got a little bland and repetitive, I loved it nonetheless. With the second installment you get much of the same, with a few additions that were very welcomed. I love franchises that take chances and change bits of a game in order to keep it fresh.

    This game has improved upon the pitfalls of Bravely Default and its repetitive story. Though it may have some story elements left to be desired, it is still a great JRPG with flexible and intuitive gameplay. Being able to turn on and off random encounters and adjusting the difficulty allows me to grind as much or as little as I want. This game gives players full control and this really helps me enjoy the game all the more.

    Like it's predecessor "Bravely Default," "Bravely Second" is a tribute to classic JRPGs (particularly early Final Fantasy games) that does an excellent job of capturing the atmosphere and gameplay of those older titles without feeling archaic or held back by older mechanics. It also introduces some interesting new battle mechanics that add some much needed variety to standard turn based battles.

    Bravely Second get a lot of the things that a good RPG should have right. The battle system is top notch, the visual style is excellent, and if you like customization, there is so much that you can tinker with. Unfortunately, the game is pretty weak in the story and characters department, which is what I value the most in an RPG. I found the writing to be its biggest shortcoming. I still liked the game quite a bit though. If you enjoyed Bravely Default, you will most likely enjoy Bravely Second as well, even though it doesn't quite match the greatness of the original game.

    Squareenix realized that there's still a huge market for classic RPG which is why they came out with Bravely Default and this sequel. If you're one to enjoy RPGs of yesteryear, you can't go wrong with this title. This series gets many aspects of what people enjoyed about playing JRPGs right and expounds on new ideas that makes the game less grindy like the ability to turn off battles when you don't feel like going through a dungeon without any annoyances and the ability to fast forward battles. Believe me, it makes the game much more fun this way.

    If you want an old school RPG, this is it. It's a lot like the first, except the game is more forgiving and requires less ridiculous grinding.

    This game takes place directly after Bravely Default. There's a summary of the first game right at the start of this game, so if you wanted to start from the beginning, play that one first. Otherwise, this is a great game to get right into with no prior knowledge of the story or characters.

    This new addition to the Bravely Default franchise definitely builds upon the nostalgia of fans who have played (& loved) the first rendition. It definitely improves upon it w/ small upgrades here & there throughout the game; for example, the "free-to-play" aspect, gameplay, & the repetitiveness of the prior game. Overall, I enjoyed playing & finishing the game.
