Fun characters with a great story and good combat. A bit too easy to break, but it does seem to incentivize breaking it which is nice. Edea and Ringabel are stand outs in the cast, they are just so much fun both apart and when bouncing off each other. People will rip the last 4 chapters to shreds but I even found enjoyment in them equal to, and in some cases, greater than the early parts. Just an overall spectacular game

Es mi jrpg favorito, me encanta el estilo artístico de los escenarios dibujados a mano y los personajes en 3D bien integrados, los trabajos inspirados en Final Fantasy y su sistema de niveles, junto con la mecanica brave y Default hacen el combate muy entretenido y abierto a estrategias según tu estilo de juego. La opción de multiplicar los encuentros contra enemigos por 0, 1 y 2 hacen que el leveleo y el avance del juego sean muy cómodos. La historia y los personajes son increibles, todo está perfectamente escrito.

This games OST is so fuckin good its made me cry. I felt really bad even saying I shelved this game because the job system in this game is insane and the characters are all so fucking awesome. I really need to pick this game up again because this is literally PEAK JRPG. REVO, the dude that made the attack on titan Season 1 opening made the OST for this game and he put his whole dick and ball and soul and heart into it

Depois de anos, finalmente consegui jogar até o final
A gameplay é absurdamente divertida
O enredo é muito bom, até que ele resolve jogar tudo no lixo na segunda metade, a repetição nos últimos capítulos é extremamente chata
Ainda assim, um bom jogo


My favorite video game of all time. My golden standard for comparing RPGs.

Very fun cool game but it would be cooler and more fun if I didn't have to play it four times, also by the end the difficulty curve just devolves into "figure out how to break the game over your knee or die trying"

That said it lets you turn off random encounters so it might be the best JRPG ever made.

Class system is fun to mess around with; you can get some busted ability combinations. The last quarter of the game drags but the ending is worth it.

love letter to final fantasy, does the brave/default mechanic much better than octopath. Classes are fun and characters are good

bro

the plot twist in this game goes fucking crazy

huh. love the ost to death, the game is just okay though. story kinda blows. gameplay is good

BOF mi rpg por turnos fav. La mecánica del Brave/Deafult está super chula, el estilo artístico precioso, y la historia es sencilla pero con giros muy wapos.

The start of one of my favourite franchises. A solid JRPG with a lovable cast and a good worldbuilding. Played it with the english dub and gotta say, its pretty decent, which is weird.

One of my favorite traditional RPGs of all time. the brave and default features really add a new sense of depth to the system that wouldnt be possible otherwise. I totally get peoples gripes with the story; feeling like you are circling the drain a bit as the game comes to a close doesnt feel good, but it never bothered me as much as it bothered others. Praying for Bravely Default and Bravely Second to get ports at some point.

I absolutely adore this game, everything about it. Flying Fairy was a funny meme. I also pretend the last 20% doesn't exist

i kneel at everything this studio makes, it's all peak

First half of this game is pure magic especially blind. The brave combat system is gold being able to do nearly anything you want if you are willing to gamble it. Unlocking classes and having your characters evolve their party roles over time as you unlock skills on different classes on different guys at different times constantly mixes up the experience. After you "beat the game the first time it does slow down a bit with very few late game classes but its remedied by being able to skip 90% of the game each subsequent loop. Still should have toned the loops required for the true ending down by 2 maybe 3.

Familiarity through repetition.

The world rearranges itself subtly every new day we awaken.

Speak with all the possible versions of yourself.

The loop stuff is so terrible that it led me to put the game down for three years and basically not finish it til I was in senior year of high school. However this was a real formative game for my appreciation of turn based RPGs. Also I'm a slut for a game with a good class system

I want to get into this game but I just couldn't.

Incredible JRPG.
Great characters, great story with mind-blowing plot twists and an AMAZING OST.

Solid JRPG, and a very obvious nod to classic Final Fantasy, the plot isn't the biggest panacea, but the twist is nice (but not the fact involved to get to the true ending)

A masterpiece of video game storytelling, trapped in handheld console hell, please square port it

RRRRRRRRRAHHHHHHH

it hit me at exactly the right time when i was a teen, i love the 3rd act climax and big reveals and shit, i love the job system and how all the characters have funny little outfits, i even love the repetitive story structure because of how it fucks with your head a little bit, its so goated man


Edea my beloved, rpg chulito (duerman a Airy)

I play it sometimes and I find its systems to be pretty cool.

El sistema de endeudar turnos es muy interesante, y he visto vídeos donde la gente le saca provecho con mucha facilidad.
Sin embargo, a mí no se me ocurren esas estrategias por mi cuenta, así que sufrí un poco con varios jefes y combates opcionales.
La trama está curiosa, mas no le perdono que, por seguir el sentido común, desbloquease antes de tiempo el final secreto "malo", y luego tener que aguantar varios capítulos de los protas siendo papanatas hasta llegar al final verdadero. Me dio rabia.
Sigue siendo un muy buen juego.

Bland characters, terrible voice acting, and a story even worse buoyed by a somewhat intriguing battle mechanic in an otherwise run-of-the-mill JRPG. Bravely Default might sport some gorgeous backdrops and a healthy challenge, but under this thin veil lies little more.
