Apr 14, 2014It sounds like a lot, and it is, but not in an overwhelming way but in a fantastic, three in the morning, I can’t stop playing this game kind of way. When it all comes together and you destroy a boss that gave you troubles just a few job levels ago, it feels great.

Dec 30, 2013Bravely Default is a triumphant blending of a classic template with some fresh ideas and modern user-friendliness, albeit with a few areas that could still be refined before going on to the next level.

Feb 3, 2014Bravely Default's more interesting ideas, particularly the mechanics behind the battle system, breathe some life into a very traditional RPG.

Bravely Default disappointingly wastes a lot of its potential, but Square Enix will get another shot with the already-announced sequel.
