Bravely Default II (Video Game)	comment	Bravely Default II is the third entry of the Bravely Default series, releasing for the Nintendo Switch for the first time.The story is set in a new world, on the continent of Excillant, where five mighty kingdoms reside. Two years prior, the four elemental crystals that keep nature in check were suddenly taken away by evil forces led by Lord Commander Adam of Holograd, who aims to use their power to Take Over the World, putting the citizens of the kingdoms in danger. Fleeing from her fallen kingdom of Musa, the guardianship of the four crystals, Gloria goes on a journey to retrieve them. On her journey, she meets Seth, a sailor not native to Excillant who happens to wash up ashore thanks to the crystals saving him from an unseasonal storm. They are both accompanied by Elvis, a scholar from Wiswald who inherited a mysterious book from his mentor that he hopes to decipher by gathering Asterisks; and Adelle, a skilled hired sword Elvis enlists to help him on his task. The four decide to travel together, becoming the new 4 Heroes of Light of the tale.The reveal trailer can be found here, and the Nintendo Direct trailer can be found here. The first playable demo for the game was released on March 26th, 2020; this demo was removed, but a Final Demo which incorporated changes based on feedback from the first demo emerged in its place on December 17th, 2020. The full game was released on February 26, 2021. A PC version released via Steam was released on September 2, 2021.

Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_13a6b7ef	comment	Gaia's Lament: The game shows that the world has been falling apart ever since the four crystals were stolen two years ago, with Savalon being flooded by the power of the Water Crystal and trees overtaking Wiswald thanks to the Earth Crystal.

Other characters still make use of their Asterisk granted abilities after losing them because they ostensibly mastered several skills from them while the Asterisks were still in their possession.

Unlike them, however, when an Asterisk is taken from you, you are reduced to what amounts to a peasant outfit or whatever you were wearing before. As it turns out, the Asterisks are the only way to expose the Soul Jar for the Night's Nexus, who herself wields the man-made Librarian Asterisk and disguised it as Elvis's book. The other Asterisks were deliberately scattered around by Edna to ensure that humans cause turmoil and that her master couldn't be destroyed.

Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77	type	Multiple Endings
Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77	comment	Multiple Endings: There are two bad endings, a true ending, and a secret bad ending. The first bad ending has Gloria sacrifice her life to seal away the Night's Nexus once more, repeating her grandfather's sacrifice. Everything calms down once more, but it is only a matter of time before the Nexus reawakens again, and since Gloria was the last of the Musan bloodline... The second bad ending shows that the Night's Nexus repeatedly revives itself no matter how many times it's beaten, forcing the fairies to seal it away forever by freezing Mag Mell in time and permanently cutting it off from the rest of the world. Just as the party is about to finish escaping Mag Mell, Adelle ends up staying behind, believing she has to atone for her sister's crimes, to Elvis's dismay. After witnessing the events of the first two endings, the true ending has the party seek out the Asterisk of Bravery from Sir Sloan's spirit. After being taken to where the Nexus truly resides in by Aileen, the Queen of the Fairies, they succeed in permanently killing the Nexus, and return home with the Crystals' blessings. Seth seemingly dies once again, but is resurrected by the Wind Crystal as thanks for all his heroic deeds. The secret bad ending is obtained by defeating Adam in the Prologue. The next scene reveals that the Night's Nexus and Edna know about the existence of multiple worlds, and the Nexus tells Edna to bring the Asterisks into a certain someone's world... YOURS.

One of her former subjects reveals that she used to come to training sessions with other soldiers and made everyone worry whenever she decided to spar with the biggest, toughest soldier among them. She even defends her point by saying she believes she had to be ready for anything that may threaten her life. She was right. Prince Castor isn't the least afraid to fight during battles, wielding some scary-looking scythes. It's also foreshadowing the reveal he's not as benevolent as he appears, having killed his father in the past to become ruler and steal the Water Crystal in order to use it to save the people from the drought by flooding Savalon.

The doll that Lily owns in Chapter 2 is made from a wood called wald ash. Roddy carves the doll into a stake, which Elvis uses to kill the undead Vigintio, and later carves it again into a staff for Elvis to wield in his travels.

Going even further, Selene and Dag are eventually surpassed by another healer-and-warrior pair, though the female is the warrior this time and the male is the healer. And just like Victoria and Victor, the relationship between Gladys and Helio is toxic.

Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_2a552d44	type	Recurring Element
Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_2a552d44	comment	Recurring Element: Like its parent series, this game is showing a trend of recurring ideas, motifs, and themes with its previous installments, despite this game being the first divergent narrative in the series. Most obviously, the crystals that grant class powers are still called Asterisks, and you have to defeat their owners to obtain them. Like the first game, the plot revolves around four elemental crystals, and evil forces draining them to bring about the end of the world. The Dragon of the true Big Bad is revealed to be a fairy, just like the previous two games. And just like in those games, that Dragon is manipulating people to their whims, though unlike the original and like Second she's manipulating the Big Bad Wannabe instead of the heroes. There are multiple endings, though there are multiple bad endings this time. Thankfully, unlike the first game, they don't require you to replay the whole game to get the Golden Ending, and in fact the bad endings are mandatory to unlock it. While nowhere near as heavy as the first two games about it, the game still plays with the fourth wall. Notably, to get the Golden Ending, you have to reveal and override the Night Nexus' save file note technically its memories, but it's presented as a save file you have to overwrite or delete in your save menu, and there is a hidden ending that results in the Night's Nexus and Edna deciding to invade the real world. The first Asterisk-bearers you fight are a female Support Party Member and a male Mighty Glacier. Sound familiar? Like Holly and Barras, the two eventually become a couple. Going even further, Selene and Dag are eventually surpassed by another healer-and-warrior pair, though the female is the warrior this time and the male is the healer. And just like Victoria and Victor, the relationship between Gladys and Helio is toxic. The first full chapter takes place in a desert facing a water crisis perpetrated by a bandit. A Job that relies on money is up for grabs, and the current regent is actually a foe. The major difference between Savalon and Ancheim is that Ancheim was quickly running out of water, while Savalon had way too much.

Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_323f135b	type	Sorting Algorithm of Evil
Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_323f135b	comment	Sorting Algorithm of Evil: In full force in this instalment. The Prologue has the party face a pair of Punch-Clock Villain hired by Horten, a pitiful Smug Snake who doubles as the Starter Villain. Chapter 1 pits the party against a conspiracy headed by Castor, a Well-Intentioned Extremist whose goals, if not methods, are actually noble (at least where his people are concerned, he veers a lot more towards The Caligula when dealing with his relatives and associates). Chapter 2 ramps things up considerably with Knight of Cerebus Folie, an Ax-Crazy Mad Artist whose crimes are impressive both in terms of scope and in the incredible pettiness of her motives. Oh, and she also loves to enslave people to her will with copious amounts of guilt-based Mind Rape. She's so awful that she's the first villain that elicits neither sympathy nor mercy from the heroes, who have no problem leaving her to die after stopping her insane plan. Chapter 3 has Archbishop Domenic, a False Prophet who enforces a nightmarish religious dictatorship over Rimedhal, which mostly revolves around having a Kangaroo Court sentence innocent people to death by Bottomless Pit on the mere suspicion that they might be fairies in disguise. He's been doing this long enough that Gwylim can smell the stench of corpses all the way to his cavern. And then it turns out he's a just a puppet for Helio, who has been intentionally using the public executions as a way to destabilize Rimedhal from within because he's really The Mole for Adam. Helio is noticeably completely unrepentant about all of this, taking the time to gloat about it in front of the party after executing Domenic and mocking a dying Gladys For the Evulz. He does get his just desserts in the end though. Chapter 4 pits the player against Adam as he makes his move to Take Over the World, and his three generals, with special mention for the Ax-Crazy undead Necromancer Vigintio, who plans to inflict A Fate Worse Than Death to the entire population of Wiswald (minus Roddy, whom he intends to keep alive so he can force him to watch his loved ones being converted into undead soldiers), and that's after he's slaughtered every single one of them. All of this to settle a grudge with the late Lady Emma. Thankfully the party arrives just in time to stop him. Chapter 5's main antagonist is The Cloaked Woman, aka Adelle's sister Edna, the person behind nearly all the villains encountered by the party during their journey and the mastermind behind the destruction of Musa and the theft of the Crystals, and whose goal is to usher The End of the World as We Know It seemingly For the Evulz unless she was actually Brainwashed and Crazy all along, but it's worth noting she gets pissed when Adelle brings it up. Chapter 6 and 7 have the party fight against The Night's Nexus, an Omnicidal Maniac assimilator with god-like powers, Resurrective Immortality and whose evil is the source of all the woes encountered by the party.

A Mad Artist who invaded Musa, Folie uses the power of the Earth Crystal to overrun Wiswald with trees, altering the town's landscape. She also murdered Mona, and uses her death to manipulate Roddy, Lily and Galahad into working for her. Lastly, she orphaned many children by killing their parents. All this so she can obtain the paint needed for her painting, as normal paint won't work for her.

It suddenly switches to 3/4 time with what sounds like a pipe organ paired with a piano, includes a purposely off-kilter section that switches back and forth between putting the emphasis on the downbeat for two measures and then on the upbeat for another two measures, and then just as abruptly switches back to 4/4 time just before the theme loops.

This can give you more HP than the normal damage cap, making it a very valuable defensive skill. The Monk's Bare-Knuckle Brawler passive won't keep up with later weapons, but since fists don't count as a weapon type, this can prove useful in situations where groups of enemies have different weapon immunities.

Starting in chapter 4, the main battle theme gets a violin remix with guitars. Not only is the instrumentation similar to the Asterisk boss theme of Bravely Default, 'That Person's Name is' / 'He of the Name,' but a couple of notes that play before the theme loops are the same notes that play when 'That Person's Name is' / 'He of the Name' is about to loop, too. The battle with Edna contains a snippet of Wicked Flight from the first game, which is very appropriate considering you're fighting an evil fairy who's The Dragon of the Greater-Scope Villain.

Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_3f0310d6	comment	Magikarp Power: Two classes really exemplify this trope; The Freelancer is a novelty for the first half of the game. You level it up because it's the only thing available until you get Bard in chapter 1 and finally have a class for each major niche and because it makes leveling up classes faster in the long term. However, its second Specialty, Late Bloomer, changes everything once you get into the second half of the game and start mastering many of the classes, allowing the Freelancer to act as a tank, a magic cannon, a physical Lightning Bruiser, or really anything. The Beastmaster falls under the same principle, except the floor is even lower and the ceiling is even higher. Not only do you need to master Beastmaster to get Creature Comforts, you need to actually catch hundreds of monsters for it to compete with the Freelancer. However, as the game goes on, easier tricks for mass-catching note The Phantom's Results Guaranteed pairs well with the Bravebearer's Across the Board to make Capture incredibly potent, for instance. become available. By endgame, a good half hour spent catching monsters will easily make the Beastmaster the most powerful class in the game, but it's a slow journey up to that point.

The accused of being fairies are forced down a deep, deep pit — if they really are fairies, they would fly out and thus be guilty and executed. If they are not, they fall to their deaths and are judged by the town's Lord. Either way, the accused are dead.

Additionally, if there are multiple guest characters, they are all treated as a single unit with their combined skillset, meaning multiple guests still act at the same frequency as just one guest. The Prologue gives you Gloria's mentor and former Hero of Light Sir Sloan, Chapter 1 gives you Prince Castor of Savalon, Chapter 2 gives you Elvis' old buddies Roddy, Lily, and Galahad, and Chapter 3 gives you the Lord of Dragons' successor Gwilym and his aide Martha.

Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_47e4f5f5	comment	While nowhere near as heavy as the first two games about it, the game still plays with the fourth wall. Notably, to get the Golden Ending, you have to reveal and override the Night Nexus' save file note technically its memories, but it's presented as a save file you have to overwrite or delete in your save menu, and there is a hidden ending that results in the Night's Nexus and Edna deciding to invade the real world.

It is, in fact, surpassed only by the Bravebearer.

Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_51567188	comment	Cast from Hit Points: Certain skills take a set percentage of HP, leaving jobs that rely on such to consider whether it's worth losing more HP to use the skill during their turn or to save what remaining HP they have left to survive a potentially fatal attack from an enemy. This is most prominent in the Monk class, who use HP as the 'currency' for almost every action they take. The 'Bloody-Minded' Berserker passive ability causes this to apply to normal attacks. The benefit for this is that all attacks are 100% accurate and will never miss. Additionally, while it will reduce HP, it will never reduce a person's HP below 1.

Unlike how the game always points to the direction the player has to go, it won't tell you this time. You do get some hints from talking to the party. All you know all but spells out that you must go to Sir Sloan's grave in the Vale of Sighs. Common drops are completely different than rare drops. You may be led to think that using the Gambler's Rare Talent also lets you get more common drops often, when in truth any increase to Luck makes it more likely to obtain rare drops but makes it harder to get common drops. This gets especially annoying later on when certain bosses' common drops are far more precious than their rare drops, but there is no way to get common drops easier...ironically.

This trope extends to the party, who defends her after she helps treat a child's dog and said child's father "thanks" her by scolding her for getting too close to his daughter. Unfortunately, Bernard very much abuses her blind loyalty to further his own goals, though Anihal is too grateful to even question his actions until Seth and the group defeat her and convince her that he's taking advantage of her as a loyal minion.

Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_77582a29	comment	Sealed Evil in Another World: In one of the Multiple Endings, the second bad ending shows that the main villain, the Night's Nexus, can repeatedly revive itself no matter how many times it's beaten. This forces the fairies to seal it away forever by freezing Mag Mell, the homeland of the fairies, in time. To further prevent its escape, the Queen permanently cuts off Mag Mell from the rest of the world, with Adelle staying behind, believing she has to atone for her sister's crimes.

Bernard exploited the fact Orpheus wanted to make her miserable and manipulated him to be part of his group to keep the Water Crystal away from prying eyes. Edna's motivation for working for the Night's Nexus is speculated to be revenge for the fairy trials in Rimedhal, where a young man named Will was the first victim, for "consorting" with fairies at night. She references that humans took everything from her.

Prince Castor dies when the railing he damaged when murdering his father gives out and he drowns in the flood he caused by stealing the Water Crystal. Folie stole the Earth Crystal for the sake of her Magnum Opus, and is killed in a cave-in because she refuses to leave it. After Gladys discovers the truth about the fairy trials and makes a Heel–Face Turn, she saves a Rimedhal soldier from an attack by Holograd soldiers. The Rimedhal soldier fatally stabs Gladys to avenge his sister, who Gladys accused of being a fairy. To add insult to injury, Helio even comments on the irony before revealing that he killed Gladys' parents. Helio was responsible for the Fire Crystal's theft and condemned dozens, if not thousands, in the name of the Lord of Dragons, only for said Lord of Dragons to burn him to death. Adam, who stole the Wind Crystal and sought to conquer the world, is betrayed by Edna and goes down with the airship he sought to conquer the world with. This even extends to the Night's Nexus. She created the Librarian Asterisk and concealed it in a book so that she could tap into the Fountain of Knowledge and make herself immortal by preserving her memory in it. That same feature kept the party from walking into defeat against the Nexus twice, and allowed them to render her mortal by erasing her memory from the book.

Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_9f6fb586	comment	Leitmotif: Par for the course for this series, each of the Heroes of Light has their own theme. A faster, shorter arrangement plays during their special attacks. Their themes are also part of the music for the last phase of the True Final Boss battle. Seth's theme is a Spanish-influenced guitar melody, featuring castanets in the background. Gloria's theme is an elegant harp melody. Elvis's theme is a laid-back jazz tune featuring a solo clarinet. Adelle's theme is a folk-influenced theme featuring a solo trumpet. Her leitmotif also carries a bit of deeper meaning. Adelle's theme is in 3/4 time, while all the others are in 4/4. This may be a nod to Adelle's status as the only non-human main character. This could also be a reference to the fact that fairies experience time differently from humans. Parts of Adelle's theme pop up more frequently than the others, notably: the descending line in the introduction shows up in the first bad ending as part of Edna's boss battle music, and in Chapters 6 and 7 as the theme for Mag Mell, Adelle and Edna's home.

The Arcanist's variation fits a lot of chaos into not a lot of space. It suddenly switches to 3/4 time with what sounds like a pipe organ paired with a piano, includes a purposely off-kilter section that switches back and forth between putting the emphasis on the downbeat for two measures and then on the upbeat for another two measures, and then just as abruptly switches back to 4/4 time just before the theme loops.

If there's any uncertainty the connection is intentional, the sepia tone and the presence of 'Fin' written in the bottom right corner should remove all doubt.

With all respect given to the serious nature of the mass deaths and religious fanaticism in Rimedhal and Folie's atrocities against man and the environment, there is no child labor, the Red Mage isn't liquefying women in an obvious allegory to sexual assault, the Salve-Maker isn't a depraved sadist capable of mixing potions that will kill off thousands of people, and the closest the game gets to having sexual content is Adelle accusing Elvis of having a foot fetish. There's a bigger focus on the sense of wonder regarding each location the party visits, and Rimedhal excluded the major flaws of each major city are downplayed considerably in comparison to the other games.

Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	type	Anti-Frustration Features
Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3	comment	Anti-Frustration Features: The game warns you that entering the Flying Fortress is a Plot Tunnel, which means you'll be trapped in a dungeon with no shop to buy supplies from. It turns out that Adam brought some wealthy Holograders to come aboard as a good chance for business, with one of them providing shop services next to a save point to boot. Ironically still, the shop is right across the room where you fight Adam. There are a few tweaks to the formula that make the third outing a little smoother. The biggest improvement is JP acquisition. In the previous games, it could be an utter slog to level up classes quickly, often forcing players to go against the spirit of the game and focus solely on one or two classes for each character over the course of a playthrough. Here, JP acquisition is a lot faster due to each class level layer having a smaller increase in the JP needed to level up per level. The more salient point, however, is just how much JP each encounter gives you. It is incredibly easy to get a ton of JP just from the starting point because enemies give JP out in spades. You also unlock a feature fairly early in the game that allows you to get treasures while the Switch system is asleep, (but not while the game is off on PC) and some of these treasures are JP orbs. The 'Chance to be Targeted' stat. Tank builds were nigh-useless in the first game because there was no easy way to draw aggro, and the second game tied most aggro building to the Swordmaster and the Patissier; one class is optional and can be missed on the first run-through, and the second comes at about the midpoint, well into the story. Here, you can raise aggro considerably via simple stat boosts, and the first class you get from an asterisk-bearer is Vanguard, which is built around drawing aggro. While it's random when an enemy responds to a certain action with a counter, the counter itself is consistent. Most creatures only have one or two moves they will counter with, and enemies with multiple counter conditions will consistently use moves connected to the counter they use. Furthermore, because counters can be as specific as 'Used Savagery' to as open as 'Used a physical attack,' the game will highlight what action caused the enemy to counter so you'll be more wary about using that action next time. If the player is a fan of using Status Effects, they'll be happy to know that the game will tell you if an enemy is immune to a specific condition each time you try it. This is a lifesaver for boss fights, as a lot of them can be made easier by poison and it helps to know when poison isn't a potential answer to a problem. The Gambler's All or Nothing Specialty, which makes it so that either EXP, JP, or PG gained after a battle is reduced to zero in return for a minuscule chance of one of those factors instead being multiplied by fifteen, is almost entirely centered on the person or people currently equipped with it. So while the Gambler themself might gain zero JP, their allies will still gain the full JP owed to them. The one exception is PG, as everyone shares the PG total. Arcanists are hard-coded to occasionally catch themselves in their own spells. However, they also get the spells Drain and Aspir, which take HP and MP respectively from an enemy and gives it to the caster. These spells will never target the caster themselves, likely to allow the Arcanist to restock on HP when they inevitably blow themselves up with their own magic. While Vent Fury mostly does as it says and picks abilities and targets at random to brutalize, it will never commit friendly fire. While classes won't level up past 12 until you clear the Halls of Tribulation in chapters 6 and 7, the excess JP you get will be counted when the class level cap is raised to 15, giving you instant access to all of the new skills if you kept playing as that class even after mastering it.

Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_e545e190	comment	Nerf: A lot of abilities return in this game that were present in Bravely Default and Bravely Second. Some of the more overpowered abilities and jobs have taken a hit; Arcanists got hit incredibly hard from the transition over from Bravely Default to Bravely Default II. While they maintain their position as incredibly powerful mages, they don't get to take advantage of BP anymore to deal more damage to people with a lot or only a little BP - almost a necessity given the change in how turn order works and how enemies have become more likely to Brave or Default in a given situation. They've also lost Exterminate, further cutting down how much damage they do. The only thing they retain beyond their incredible damage is, unfortunately, the fact they can sometimes hurt their allies. In the transition from Bravely Default to Bravely Default II, Stillness was moved from Spiritmaster to Bastion, and had a few tweaks to prevent it from being abused. First, it stops any change in BP, HP, or MP, making it mostly about stopping painful assaults from enemies and less about making the party unkillable. It's still useful, but after its game-breaking status in the first game, it's taken a heavy hit. The change in how combat plays out over a turn also means that eventually some damage will fall between the cracks, since it only ends at the start of a Bastion's next turn and that Bastion will, eventually, take damage if they want to deal damage. Steady MP Regen is back from Bravely Second as MP Regen, but what isn't back is the Bishop or Benediction as it was in the previous games. This makes it impossible to heal allies back to full HP and gain MP in the process, aided by the higher cost in MP spells have in this outing. Also, while MP Regen can become stronger than Steady MP Regen note Steady MP Regen regenerated 30 MP per turn — MP Regen regenerates an amount of MP equal to 5% of the user's max MP value per turn. , this is only really the case with investment into the MP statistic through mage jobs and special accessories. This prevents warrior classes from easily spamming their best moves. While it's possible to combine MP Regen with Lunar or Solar-Powered, this is a costly decision late-game, where literally every passive ability equipped counts. There are still ways to invalidate the limitations of the MP bar, but in general it requires a dedicated team build to work properly. The mere existence of the ATB gauge makes it impossible for Valkyries, now called Dragoons, to prevent all possible damage against themselves via Jump. When the Dragoon hits the ground is entirely dependent on when their turn comes up, as Jump is considered its own special status effect that is immune to any measure that would end it normally. Additionally, the speed stat and the ATB gauge aren't as exploitable as they may appear - to prevent one character from going thirty times before another, the game cheats a bit to ensure that after a set number of actions, the bar takes a bit longer to fill, and after most actions the bar doesn't fill for a little while. This means the Dragoon will inevitably have some period of time spent grounded, where they can't stop damage against them.

Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_f05444a4	comment	Once per Episode: The demo of the game takes place in a desert, just like how the previous entries have also set their demos around Ancheim, and similarly to how the first demo for its sister game Octopath Traveler had Sunshade as one of two available starting points.

Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_f64a9cf7	comment	Earn Your Happy Ending: There are two possible endings to the game other than the Golden Ending (the party even witnesses one of them via Elvis's book), prompting them to seek another way to end the Night's Nexus in order to save Gloria and Adelle's lives.

Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_fc07d409	comment	Defeating Adam in the prologue triggers one. Upon learning of Adam's defeat, Edna takes the Asterisks and departs to attack a new world, implied to be our own. The credits then rapidly play with the Game Over music in the background, and the game informs you that you have to lose to Adam to continue the story.

Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_fd4f8299	comment	Chapter 1 pits the party against a conspiracy headed by Castor, a Well-Intentioned Extremist whose goals, if not methods, are actually noble (at least where his people are concerned, he veers a lot more towards The Caligula when dealing with his relatives and associates).

Bravely Default II (Video Game) / int_ff17ccf1	comment	Innocently Insensitive: When introduced, Prince Castor appears cordial, but that only happens when he is around people of royalty like Gloria. With Seth - a commoner - among her ranks, he can't help sounding insensitive by reminding Gloria about his social status and how he shouldn't have much of a say. It takes a little time before Castor sees Seth's worth and truly apologizes for his behavior. Subverted in that it's all an act. He wanted to get in the party's good graces so he could betray them later.

Sir Sloan and Gloria's grandfather were two of them. The other two were Emma, Elvis's mentor, and Aileen, the Queen of the Fairies.
