Bravely Default: Difference between revisions

The plot follows Agnès Oblige, a young woman [[The Chosen One|chosen from birth]] to be the protector of the Wind Crystal, one of the four elemental Crystals that grant prosperity to the land of Luxendarc. 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.

 

 

The lead writer is Naotaka Hayashi, who also wrote ''[[Steins;Gate]]''. In addition, the game's score is by Revo of ''Sound Horizon'' fame.

* [[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}}.

* [[Anti-Frustration Features]]: Quite a few are present to make the weaknesses of RPGs less pronounced:

** [[Random Encounters]] rates can be boosted or turned off entirely. This makes backtracking out of a dungeon to heal much more forgiving, and grinding less of a wait.

* [[Antiquated Linguistics]]: Characters mostly speak fashion of England a century or more ago.

* [[Arc Words]]: "Have the courage to disobey."

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]

* [[Black Mage]]

* [[Cleavage Window]]

* [[Demo]]: It's demo doesn't reveal any spoilers, but it made potential buyers think it's just a level grinding game and with little to no story.

* [[Gratuitous English]]: The title, which makes close to zero sense in English. According to [[The Other Wiki]], [[Word of God|Naotaka Hayashi]], the game's writer, has stated that the title means "have courage and renounce the promises and responsibilities that are expected of you."

* [[Grimy Water]]: Played straight with certain areas in certain locations, like some parts of Miasma Woods and the Florem Gardens have purple flowers, which gives the party ingame effects, unless they equip special armors. So, no short cuts.

* [[Hero with Bad Publicity|Heroes With Bad Publicity]]: The Vestals, since it appears to the public that these holy ones didn't do anything when the four crystal were darken and shattered and also assumed that the Vestals don't care.

* [[I Just Want to Be Beautiful]]: Most of the Florem residents desire this.

* [[Lady Land]]: Florem, there's a strict rule that requires that all its residents are supposed to be women.

* [[MacGuffin]]: D's Journal.

* [[Punny Name]]: "Luxendarc": "lux" is Latin for "light", and "darc", [[Captain Obvious|well...]]

* [[Random Encounters]]

* [[Scenery Porn]]: The attention to detail and lighting of the gorgeous backgrounds makes them the star of the released screenshots.

* [[Spell Blade]]: The weapon of choice for Spell Fencers.

* [[Super-Deformed]]: How the in-game presentation of how the characters are drawn as.

* [[Swamps Are Evil]]: Aptly named Miasma Forest.

* [[Thirsty Desert]]: Harena Desert.

* [[Trauma Inn]]

* [[Warrior Monk]]

* [[World Map]]

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]
