Critic reviews
- I spent 90+ hrs maxing out all characters and learned every ability for every job, and even with a exp/money farming technique to speed up the process, I simply felt like I was required to do too much while not being fully rewarded with a story and reason that meant very little.
- 8.6Bravely Default II is a tightly-designed and well-written Japanese RPG with gameplay ideas rooted in the 1990s, but lacks the polish and amenities expected of a Square Enix RPG of the 2020s.
- 6.0It's aggressively grind-heavy and repetitive in precisely the ways that the games that inspired it often were. The battles are not interesting enough to make the leveling process anything but a necessary evil for those hoping to keep pace with the game's challenges.
- 8.0Bravely Default II can get frustrating at times, but it more than makes up for that by being endlessly charming and endearing, and remains a joy to play through from start to finish.
- 8.0Despite falling a bit short in the story and characters department compared to its predecessors, Bravely Default 2’s satisfying combat encounters, deep job customization and stellar soundtrack makes it a worthy comeback for this fan favorite series.
Gamer reviews
I think it is a pretty good game with a lot to do! The battles are incredible and it is cool to know you can either play casually, normal, or hard for how challenging you want to play the game. I love the controls and the scenario around the area. Sure, the story is a little boring and i tend to either fast forward or skip the scenes. If the story was any better, this would be a 9 score.
Great battle, great jobs, amazing graphic, but the story.....nah... Bravely default 2 is a game that you will forget because the story isn’t strong. It didn’t explain about who Seth really is. The other 3 characters also didn’t get a chance to fully deep connected to us as a player. I thought it will be an unforgetable story like FF. Please Square Enix, you can do better than this.
