Now and again, you have the option to listen to a little bit of conversation between the characters in your party. There were some nice moments between the characters when you’re roaming the game’s five main areas. Whether it was Elvis’ magical book that becomes more readable the more asterisks you collect or trying to find out why someone tried to kill you at the beginning of the game, there are some interesting threads of narrative buried deep in this otherwise generic tale. I did, however, like how each character had their own reasons for following you on your unrelenting quest.
On the whole, I felt that while the story did have a few interesting twists, it was mostly very well-trodden, familiar territory. I know, I know, more crystals and more doom.
#Bravely default 2 main character series#
It gives the series a fresh jump on point for anyone to get stuck into some JRPG goodness.īravely Default 2 tells the story of four plucky young heroes trying to wrestle back four elemental crystals and save Excillant from impending doom. I played the first game, but I am sure a lot of Switch players did not. Bravely Default 2 is actually the third game in the series and has an entirely new cast of characters and a fresh storyline. The sequel to Bravely Default, originally released for the Nintendo DS in 2012, is a sequel in name only. The much anticipated Bravely Default 2 is now available on the Nintendo Switch.
