Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster review - a fun but finite fantasy
While I’ve been a big fan of old-school RPGs ever since I was a child, I somehow never got around to playing Bravely Default. However, it’s long been on my radar, so I was excited to hear that the Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster was a Nintendo Switch 2 launch title, and I happily took up the opportunity to review it. For those of you who are unfamiliar, Bravely Default is a turn-based RPG developed by Silicon Studios and published by Square Enix. It was initially released on the Nintendo 3DS in Japan only back in 2012, followed closely by an expanded version dubbed Bravely Default: For the Sequel in 2013. This expanded version then arrived in Europe, Australia, and North America in 2014, published by Nintendo under the game’s original name. Bravely Default follows the four Warriors of Light as they embark on a journey across a war-torn land to restore elemental crystals. Arriving in an era where the main Final Fantasy games had taken a firm step into the world of more realistic, 3D RPGs with action-inspired combat (for context, Final Fantasy XIII-2 had come out in 2011, with Lightning Returns following in 2013), Bravely Default was - and still is - a welcome reminder of the old days of turn-based battles and intriguing fantasy worlds, leading many to name it as one of the best JRPGs of all time.
