This is where the Default option comes into play. If used without any BP in reserve, then the party member will essentially be defenseless for the next several turns.
This option is good against weaker foes but continuously using it against bosses is not recommended. However, by using the Brave option, it’s possible to execute four attacks in a row, consuming three BP in the process. Executing an action consumes one BP and this is recovered on the party member’s next turn. Party members are assigned Brave Points or BP when the battle begins, usually starting at zero.
#BRAVELY DEFAULT 2 QUESTS SERIES#
Striking a monster on the field will grant a free Brave Point when the battle starts.Ĭombat in the Bravely Default series works a bit differently from other turn-based games. While on the field, you can cut down grass to find items or attack enemies to gain an advantage in battle. But Sub-Quests also afford the opportunity to learn more about the world and see its various sides, like what happens to the different Asterisk Holders after your initial encounters with them.Įnvironmental exploration is fairly straightforward with a few neat little touches added in. These are straightforward tasks like gathering X amount of a certain material with the location marked out on your map. Of course, alongside different main quest missions are side quests (known as Sub-Quests) doled out by different NPCs. Each country has a number of important characters and Asterisk Holders to encounter. Rimedahl is the Snow Country and has a very elegant feel to its surroundings. Wizwald is the Land of Magic where mages rule supreme but is currently under siege by overgrown plant-life. There’s Savalon, the Land of Drought which is surrounded by deserts but whose main city is currently submerged. Their journey takes them to a number of different regions, each with their own unique ecosystems and cultures. Elvis is a Wizwald scholar, described as “larger-than-life” and seeking to learn more about a book of secrets that his mentor gave him while Adelle is a mercenary who accompanies him. Gloria is the princess who seeks to return the Crystals. Seth is a sailor saved from a storm by the Crystals’ power and now finds himself in a new land. Much like Bravely Default’s predecessor, Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light, the main cast is composed of four characters – Seth, Gloria, Elvis and Adelle. Their greater purpose and role in the story is still unknown however. The first game focused on the Crystals, a mainstay of several Final Fantasy titles, which appear here as well. It has a brand new story and cast of characters while taking place on Excillant, a continent composed of five different kingdoms. Though it’s a follow-up to 3DS titles Bravely Default and Bravely Second: End Layer, Bravely Default 2 is more of a clean slate and seeks to emulate the first game more. There’s also a demo currently available free on the Nintendo eShop for those who’d like to try before they buy. Let’s take a look at 12 things you should know before buying the game. Bravely Default 2 is out on February 26 th for Nintendo Switch and serves as the next big RPG from Square Enix.
