BRAVELY DEFAULT FLYING FAIRY HD Remaster is a remaster of the first game in the BRAVELY series - originally released in the West as BRAVELY DEFAULT and in Japan as BRAVELY DEFAULT FLYING FAIRY.

The game is a refreshing take on the classic RPG with a story about Warriors of Light and crystals reminiscent of the classic FINAL FANTASY games. It features a party of highly memorable heroes, a tale set in a vibrant world, impressive character customization and a battle system that stands as one of the most fun and strategic in the genre.

The game was a big hit, selling more than 3 million copies worldwide and winning acclaim from critics, and was also the inspiration for the brilliant OCTOPATH TRAVELER series. Now it's back for Nintendo Switch 2 - and it looks and plays better than ever before!

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster is a solid update of one of Square’s finest modern turn-based RPGs. Its combination of a flexible job system, dynamic combat, and unexpectedly interesting story makes for an adventure that no fans of the JRPG genre will want to miss out on, especially any such fans that enjoyed Team Asano’s more recent work on the Octopath Traveler duology.
That in mind, there isn’t really anything new in this remaster that justifies the price of a double dip—if you already put a lot of time into this one on the 3DS back in the day, I’d caution you to first consider just how badly you want to spend your money on what ultimately amounts to little more than a nice visual bump. All the same, Bravely Default was and still is a great RPG; if you haven’t had the chance to give this one a shot yet, this port is a great way to see what the fuss is about.
