I didn’t bother collecting all the cards because that got excessively grindy, but the premise wasn’t bad. There is a card-based minigame that is interesting. The battle system is fine, though admittedly over 90% of your encounters will be swiftly dealt with by Braving 3x and wiping the enemies with Godspeed Strike or something similar. Sadly, the music is probably the best facet of this title. I assume that homage is deliberate, since this game wants to ape the classic turn based JRPG so incredibly bad. The music is good, and I swear at least a couple tracks sample some older Squaresoft titles.
I am thou, thou are I… What does it do well? When you get the Beastmaster job later, close your eyes and let the game play itself. Level Freelancer to 12 so that you get both JP up abilities. My tips? Wait until you get the 4th party member during the prologue chapter, and then go grind the Leanan Sidhe while you still have an overpowered guest. There is no challenge that can’t be simply surpassed by spending another hour grinding levels or jobs, as long you’re grinding the correct classes!įor example, at least one class is so poorly designed that you’ll literally only want to level it for the bonus to rare item drops, because another “feature” of the class is the chance to not receive any gold, job points, or experience from a battle.
I’m a big fan of games where you win through system mastery or strategy, but In Bravely Default 2, you beat the game by grinding. There are games where the developers have taken care to balance encounters and gameplay. I assume their directive from Square-Enix was “play it extremely safe”. However, this game was developed by a different studio than the first two games. I haven’t played the previous two games in the series, so I can’t speak to any changes that have occurred in the transition to Bravely becoming a console title.
