help Bravely Default FAQ
Do I need to play Bravely Default before Bravely Second?
Yes, "Bravely Second: End Layer" is a direct sequel that continues the story of Agnès Oblige and the crystal orthodoxy. Playing the first game on the Nintendo 3DS is essential to understanding the lore, characters, and the villain's motivations.
How does the Brave and Default system work in Bravely Default?
The "Default" action allows a character to defend and store up Battle Points (BP) during a turn. The "Brave" action lets you spend those BP to take multiple actions in a single turn, allowing for highly strategic combat combos.
What is the repetitive chapter structure in Bravely Default?
In the latter half of the game, players must awaken the four crystals multiple times, resulting in a notoriously repetitive loop through parallel worlds. This forces you to fight the same asterisk bosses repeatedly, a mechanic that frustrated some players.
Is Bravely Default playable on the Nintendo Switch?
The original "Bravely Default" was released exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS and is not natively playable on the Switch. However, you can play the direct sequel, "Bravely Default II," which was released in 2021 for the Switch.
