Take this job and max it. Bravely Default II is a prime example of a development team at the top of its game. The map exploration and turn-based combat are as tight and fluid as any JRPG I’ve played on the Nintendo Switch, and even further back than that. Unfortunately, a couple problems on the periphery prevent it from being as great as it could have been. I first want to make it clear that knowledge of Bravely Default or Bravely Second: End Layer (both on the Nintendo 3DS) is not a requirement to enjoy this game. Although Bravely Default II is for some reason considered a direct sequel to Bravely Default, it has an all-new story with all-new characters…because Square Enix.
