I love this game and can only recommend it. It's story does something incredibly interesting and well done - admittedly a lot of people also dislike the game for it.

That being said, I don't buy remasters of games I already own. With no other JRPG on the horizon, luckily, I get to skip the launch and get a Switch later on - maybe even after a price drop, like the 3DS had one.

I do like the story behind the part people tend to dislike. I always saw it as more of a gameplay/game directing problem. The original Japanese version of the game didn't even have the encounter slider, which sounds brutal.

By the way, the scenarist for this game was also on the story for the Science Adventure series. The most well-known of these was Steins;Gate, which I discovered through this game and had a great experience with.

I adore Steins;Gate, but I've never tried the other Science Adventure games. Would you recommend them, if you've tried some others?

I haven't! It's on my ever-expanding wishlist.

i was kinda bored of the switch 2 announcement in regards of jrpg, so didn't want to post something. But if i have to choose a game it would probably this. I kinda like the artstyle of the Bravely games, but not really the graphic.

A lot of people hate on the games story progression but I found it so intriguing. Good game hope many new players enjoy it as much as I did.

The original holds up reasonably well from technical perspective. I tried to play it some time ago and those crunchy but skilfully layered graphics are still pretty. Later 3DS games often skipped 3D effect entirely but Bravely Default used it to improve on it’s aesthetics. While remake lacks 3D effect obviously it seems to offset this by how gorgeous character design looks at high res.

There comes the issue though. I gave up replaying Bravely Default because repetitiveness is core to it’s gameplay. I finished it. I loved it. I don’t want to go through that slog again. Not many people played it though probably so it’s nice more people will be able to enjoy it as a brand new experience.

Yeah, I loved this game--has possibly the best "bad" ending I've ever seen--but more than 10 years later I'm also still not up for a replay.

Also wondering how this will handle the microtransactions.
