Bravely Default: Flying Fairy (known as Bravely Default: Flying Fairy in Japan 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 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.
The plot follows Agnès Oblige, a young woman 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 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 with no memories; and Edea Lee, a chivalrous knight from the country of Eternia who was 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 The Sequel was released on December 5, 2013. A localisation 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.
The lead writer is Naotaka Hayashi, who also wrote Steins;Gate. In addition, the game's score is by Revo of Sound Horizon fame.
A browser Spin Off called Bravely Default: Praying Brage and a proper sequel entitled Bravely Second have also been released. The sequel takes places several years after the events of the original and features a new protagonist named Magnolia Arch. A trilogy currently named Bravely Third is currently in the works.
This game provides examples of:
- Class and Level System
- Golden Thigh Ratio: The young woman in the white dress and thigh-high boots in the teasers.
- Gratuitous English: The title, which makes close to zero sense in English. According to The Other Wiki, 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."
- Random Encounters
- Scenery Porn: The attention to detail and lighting of the gorgeous backgrounds makes them the star of the released screenshots.
- World Map
