Although this game has faced harsh criticism for its abysmal voice acting, I believe there are some positive aspects you should know about. The storyline is fairly average and feels quite linear—and at times a bit tedious—but a major plus is that you can experience every possible outcome, from the "bad endings" all the way to the "true ending." The difficulty level offers a decent challenge. While there are many character jobs that feel useless and like a waste of time, I still enjoy this game because it is actually quite manageable (provided you know the right approach). For achievement hunters, unlocking achievements here is much easier than in the *BDFF Remastered* version—which, incidentally, requires you to complete some truly terrible mini-games (I’ve tried them myself, and they really are awful, haha). I much prefer the mini-games in *this* title (*B n D*) because they feel more thematically relevant to the main game itself. I’ve already sunk over 100 hours into completing this game, and it was a reasonably enjoyable experience—despite the constant distraction caused by that atrocious voice acting. Ultimately, however, I believe this game is far more worth playing than the *Flying Fairy* remaster, which was ruined by its terrible mini-games.

I came to this game after the emptyness caused by finished Octopath Traveler 0, 1 and 2. This game is made by Square Enix too, so i was expecting a similar gameplay experience like Octopath. And guys, I have finished the game with all the different endings and i have loved this game. I have skipped all the secondary quests. Too boring to take action on those. But the main questline and the job system (similar to Octopath 2) are more than enough to making this one of my favourite turn based RPGs of all times. I think that the strengh of the gameplay system is the same as Octopath : keep it simple. You have different jobs, weapons, armors, etc., BUT the battle mechanics are simple to learn. And this is the good part. You will be able to build your character and make it strong enough for boss fights even without consulting online builds. CONS>>> I think that this game has only 2 cons. 1: you unlock some jobs and some features of them only when the game is near to the end. So you don't have any possibility to play around with them for long before the ending ( OR you can do a NEW GAME + and have access to all of them from the start, but i am not that kind of guy who plays again the same game over and over after beating it). 2: The challenge curve is... strange. The first fight is "WTF has just happened? How am i suppose to defeat this boss?" From the second one till mid-game is "ok, it will be hard, but i know i will retry at least 5 or more times this battle in order to beat this boss". Then from the second half of the game you HAVE to break the game system in order to beat the bosses (always if you want to keep playing the game because they are too hard and broken) BUT when you do so, the challenge curve starts to fall down and the last 5-7 bosses of the game was "press here to insta-kill", at least for me. I wish the game challenge curve was completely reversed. easy in the early game and pretty steep in the final parts. But in the end I need to sum up all the game experience and i think is a solid 8,5/9 out of 10. Story 5/5. You will remember it for sure after months. Gameplay 5/5. Similar gameplay system of Octopath, which i love. Post-game: does not exists (except if you like to use new game + mechanics). Don't get me wrong on this point. There is no post-game, but is ok, i feel like the main game is enough to enjoy this Bravely Default 2, but a little post-game content would have been that cherry to pick that point and a half to bring this game to a 10 / 10. C U around guys, Have fun

I have to compare this game to Final Fantasy V, since it's my favorite FF game and they have similar job systems. Also, I'm only in chapter 3 so I'm just basing this off my experience. First off, I think this game starts off SLOW. The difference is with FFV, when you get jobs they start you off with 5-6 at once. This game, you have to get jobs one at a time and after some difficult boss battles. After you get some jobs and abilities, though, this game gets fun. TLDR: Slow start, but fun once you get some abilities.

I'm going to be really controversial and say everything about this game is just as good as Bravely Default except for the story. The story is pretty bad and forgettable. The voice acting is also a huge downgrade. I'd recommend you switch this to the Japanese voice acting and don't worry too much about the story. The mechanics and jobs are just as good if not slightly better than Bravely Default. I'm currently also playing through Bravely Default and you just can't compare it has a way better story and it makes it a way better JRPG. Ultimately I'd say play Bravely Default 1 if you haven't but this game is just as good except for the lack luster story (there's also a few balancing issues) that drop it down to like a 6-7/10 whereas the original was closer to an 8.
