I won’t mince words with you here, I am a lover of Japanese Role-Playing Games and I have ever since I watched my brother playing Final Fantasy 7 all those years ago. Now playing through Bravely Default I finally feel that excitement and wonder I haven’t felt since those earlier days.
Bravely Default, isn’t changing the role-playing game formula, but it’s taking that formula and changing it for the better. The brave and default features being the biggest changes, adding a element of risk and reward to battle. Then we have all the options the game gives you, heck you can even turn all battles except for story battles off completely. Also the world that the game is set in feels new even with many trappings of the past (such as the story element of crystals), and that’s
thanks to its great characters, sound design, and art style.
Now I could go on and on with how much I love this game, but I think it’s better to keep this short and just say that if you have ever been a fan of JRPG’s or maybe just have a interest in checking one out, then make sure you pick this game up right away!
Bravely Default for the Nintendo 3DS gets a 9.5 out of 10, and I consider it a must buy for anyone wanting to finally play a great JRPG again!
