Just like in the first game, they brought in Japanese artist REVO to help create the music, and he did an amazing job. This is one of the best soundtracks to ever grace a Switch game cartridge. The soundtrack here is simply outstanding. This is not game breaking, but it is something that shouldn’t be, and Square should try to address this if possible. The only minor complaint I have here is that the game has some shuddering issues when first loading in the overworld. I loved all the character art in their various jobs, towns look hand painted, and the enemy designs were all great as well. I was a bit worried the art style here would turn me off since it is different from what was in the 3DS games, but that turned out not to be the case at all. Graphically, Bravely Default II knocks it out of the park. I was pretty worried about how this would turn out given story was my biggest complaint with the last outing, but the team has done a 180 here and it turned out wonderfully. I had a great time exploring this world, learning the lore of this land, and watching the cast grow along the way. The story is a bit straight-forward, but there are enough plot twists and the amazing personalities of the characters make up for any shortcomings. While I don’t think the story here is quite as strong as the original, it is well done. They form a group based on common interest and set out on their quest, but they have no idea the very fate of the world will soon be in their hands! Elvis is looking to find all of the Asterisks in the world in order to read a book left to him by his master, and his partner Adelle is searching for her sister.

The pair will soon meet up with a couple of other adventurers, a traveling scholar named Elvis and mercenary named Adelle. The four crystals being held in her kingdom have been stolen, and she has tasked herself with returning them. He will soon run into a refugee princess named Gloria, whose kingdom has been destroyed. The story here begins as young seafarer named Seth washes ashore on a strange continent. Does this outing have the magic that made the original release one of my favorite titles on the 3DS? Let’s find out! Now Square has decided to give the franchise another shot with an all new story and cast of characters in Bravely Default II. The game suffered from a lot of pacing issues, the soundtrack was not as good and many other things were just not up to par with its predecessor. Bravely Second came along a couple years later, and was a pretty big let down. I loved the fantastic combat system and the amount depth in the story. When Bravely Default released for the Nintendo 3DS back in 2014 it quickly became one of my favorite games on the platform.
