Topic: Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD remaster

There doesn't seem to be a thread for this yet, so I'm gonna start one. I just got my copy and I'm pretty excited to start the game, since it's the only traditional turn-based JRPG in the Switch 2's launch lineup, and IMO the Switch 1 was the best platform to play those kind of games... So I'm hoping there'll be plenty more of those to come for the Switch 2 as well, such as ports of Metaphor Refantazio and Clair Obscur.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the minigames in Bravely Default are the first ones to take advantage of the fact that both Joycons can be used in mouse mode at the same time? That is certainly a novel concept, since I can't think of any earlier game on any platform which would use such a two-mouse setup. (And out of the games announced so far for the Switch 2, I think only that sci-fi basketball game similarly uses both Joycons in mouse mode?)

So far I'm really enjoying this game, the only thing I've noticed is the repetitive combat but that has been improved with basically macros that auto battle for you through the repetitive bits and it does get more interesting with the job assignment. I missed this game the first time around and I'm glad I picked it up for the NS2. I just got the digital download rather than the key card.

I haven’t played any of the bravely default games before, but when it was shown off on Treehouse Live, I got interested in the game.

The mode where they showcased the Airship Mouse Mode mini-game was the main thing that sold me on it 😆 I haven’t played it yet though been busy with Mario Kart and Rune Factory currently.
