Bravely Default 2
Bravely Default 2 is a turn-based RPG that corrals four plucky heroes into saving the world by collecting a bunch of crystals. In other words, yes, it’s made by Square Enix. The high-risk, high-reward battle system of prior entries returns. It’s built out by a Final Fantasy XII-esque job system with more than 20 jobs, each of which features different skills, perks, and weapon affinities, and gels differently across your party. As such, mixing and matching jobs and sub-jobs across characters is a brain-bending game unto itself, particularly for players who tend to obsess over the tiniest differentials in numbers. All told, it feels like a classic JRPG, made in 2021. What is old is new again, and it rules. There’s only one problem, and it’s likely only a problem for some: This game never freakin’ ends
