Each job/class will grant you both active and passive skills, as well as a new outfit, but you can have a secondary job to enlarge your skillset. There are over 20 available options for you to discover, although some of them are secret. But instead of focusing on the 4 crystals, you should care about Asterisks, which allow you to unlock new jobs. Seth will unlock his early on, with Gloria being the second one to obtain it. There's even more strategy involved! Once you find each of the 4 crystals, one of your characters will be able to perform a special skill every now and then. Be careful, though, as most enemies can also counter specific attacks to compensate for their vulnerabilities! If you don't have access to that, you could also experiment with a little bit of everything, as once you discover a vulnerability by chance, info will also remain available every time you face that same kind of monster. The easiest way to discover these weak spots would be using a Magnifying Glass on a specific type of enemy, or-a cheaper option-using a basic Freelancer skill that fulfills the same function. In addition, all foes are also vulnerable to an element. All enemies are vulnerable to at least one type of weapon (daggers, blades, bows, axes, etc.), and some of them are vulnerable to magic or physical attacks, regardless of the items you have equipped. If you want to deal even more damage, then you can't ignore the vulnerabilities system, composed of weapons and elemental skills. There's a lot of strategy to the Brave/Default system, but there are many other things to take into account. As you can see, it's a high-risk/reward mechanic with endless possibilities! The enemy has too many stacks of Default and your attacks won't be powerful enough? Well, then try to time your Defaults yourself, unleashing a devastating multi-attack after surviving theirs. Is there an enemy who could kill you with their next attack? Maybe you could eliminate them before they get to hit you by sacrificing future turns and attacking them more than once. Also, you could "save" your turn by using the 'Default' mechanic, which increases your defense and gives you a BP point you can then use as an extra turn if you use the Default option3 times, you will be able to perform 4 actions in your following turn, without skipping turns-well, you actually did skip 3 turns by using the Default action, but at least you also increased your defense.ĭid an ally die? You can sacrifice your future turn and then revive them and heal them in your current active turn. For example, if you want to perform 3 actions this turn, you can do so by activating the 'Brave' mechanic, but then you need to skip 2 turns before participating again. In Bravely Default 2, you can perform up to 4 actions per turn, sacrificing your BP and rendering your character useless for the following turns. In every other turn-based game, you can only perform an action per turn: attack, defend, use an item, etc. So, how does this Brave/Default mechanic work, really? Well, it may be hard to explain in words, but it's not that hard to understand after a few battles. Don't feel bad about Sir Sloan abusing those Phoenix Downs during the prologue! In reality, our party can only have 4 people: Seth, Gloria, Adelle and Elvis, with a supporting character that can either attack our enemies once per turn or help us with some valuable items to heal or revive us-this is extremely necessary because while you try to figure out Bravely Default's signature combat mechanics, you'll die a lot.
That same day, Seth also meets Elvis and Adelle, a black mage and a freelancer mercenary who join Seth and Gloria's party.Īs you can see, we start the game with 5 main characters, but only 4 of them are playable. She must find 4 elemental crystals before they end up in the wrong hands, and since Seth is grateful and has nothing else to do, he agrees to help her. After giving our guy some time to sleep and regain strength, Gloria reveals herself as the princess of a fallen kingdom. Amnesiac and in poor shape, Seth was found on the coasts of Halcyonia by Gloria and Sir Sloan, the very owners of the Wind Crystal. In this adventure, you are Seth (although you can change the protagonist's name), a sailor who died in a shipwreck and came back to life thanks to the mysterious powers of the Wind Crystal.
Bravely Default 2 is a textbook Japanese role-playing game with turn-based combat, dungeon-like segments, dozens of sidequests, and obligatory boss battles.
