''[['''Bravely Default: Flying Fairy]]''''' (JapaneseNorth American title and the title used on Wikipedia; known as ''Bravely Default: Flying Fairy'' in the United StatesJapan and ''Bravely Default: Where The Fairy Flies'' everywhere else) is an [[Eastern RPG]] for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] developed by Silicon Studio and published by Square Enix. It is a [[Spiritual Successor]] to ''[[Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light]]'', and [[What Could Have Been|in fact was early in development conceived as a sequel to it]]. The game stands out from the crowd with its eponymous ''Bravely Default'' battle system, wherein the player and enemies can choose to use Braves to get extra turns or Defaults to delay and store them for extra effects, adding a new layer of strategy to your usual turn-based RPG fare.

When the Wind Crystal and its fellows are consumed by a sudden darkness, Agnès must embark on a grand journey across the world to purify them with the guidance of a magical [[Fairy Companion|Cryst-Fairy]] called Airy. Aiding her on her journey is an eclectic group of characters: Tiz Arrior, the only survivor of his [[Doomed Hometown]]; Ringabel, an enigmatic [[Casanova Wannabe|Casanova]] [[Identity Amnesia|with no memories]]; and Edea Lee, a chivalrous knight from the country of Eternia who was [[Defector From Decadence|originally sent to capture Agnès]]. Opposing them are the Job Masters of Eternia, who aim to shatter the Crystalist religion and seize the power of the Crystals for their own use.
 
It was released in Japan in October 11, 2012 for the Nintendo 3DS, and an [[Updated Rerelease]] called ''Bravely Default: For Thethe Sequel'' was released on December 5, 2013. A localisationlocalization of ''For The Sequel'' was released in Europe (under the title ''Bravely Default: Where The Fairy Flies'') on December 6, 2013; a North American version was released February 7, 2014.

Line 15:
* [[Absurdly Low Level Cap]]: With the right items and abilities, it isn't difficult to reach level 99. However, endgame material is tough enough that you'll be recommended to have a team of at least low 90s, ensuring the player always has a challenge. For [[Best Boss Ever|better]], or [[Demonic Spiders|for]] [[That One Boss|worse]], depending on skill.
* [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts]]: A gradual example. {{spoiler|At first, Karl's inn in Caldisla is completely free thanks to your being friends with him. As the world-jumping goes on, however, he'll no longer recognize the party and his inn becomes one of the most expensive in the game}}.
* [[Addressing the Player]]: Airy does this when the player starts the game.
* [[All the Worlds Are a Stage]]: [[Bonus Dungeon|The Dimension's Hasp]]. Its floors are replicas of floors from several prior dungeons, starting with Vestment Cave and ending in Everlast Tower.
