What is BRAVELY DEFAULT II?

This single-player fantasy RPG follows sailor Seth and exiled princess Gloria across Excillant as they seek to recover stolen Crystals. Along a largely linear journey, you explore, fight turn-based battles, defeat Asterisk bearers to unlock jobs, and combine two jobs per character while saving points for extra actions in battle.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy experimenting with job combinations in turn-based battles
  • +you like planning when to save actions for later
  • +you want a linear, single-player fantasy adventure

Not for you if...

  • you prefer real-time combat over turn-based battles
  • you dislike grinding to overcome difficult boss fights
  • you prefer open-ended exploration to a linear journey
