This is a great game for anyone who loves old school Japanese RPG's. They went back and used the great Job/Support Job system from games like Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy Tactics. At the same time they improved the basic old school combat using the Brave and Default system. Basically Default means you "guard" for half damage, but you also get a Brave Point to use on a later turn. On other turns you can spend Brave Points to get extra actions (up to 4 per turn). This method of storing actions makes the combat a lot more interesting than a game like Final Fantasy V. So basically they kept in all the stuff you love from old school RPG's, and they improved gameplay where it needed it. There are a ton of other features to this game too, and it is a BIG game that will take a long time to complete. You really get your money's worth.Read full review

Short and to the point, when I started up this game I felt a wave of emotion come over me that drew me into a world presented in a way I had not felt since probably the first hour or so of playing Final Fantasy 9. The job system is deep, the combat is as frequent or in-frequent as you choose and the characters are very fleshed out. The dialogue is witty and clever despite some familiar tropes present in jrpgs. There is a wall of sorts with the pacing at about chapter 5, but if you are like me and enjoy the combat and unique brave/default system you will get through it just fine. I Recommend this highly to those who enjoyed the last great RPG's square produced in the late 90s and early 2000s. The game is out of print so if you were on the fence you may want to reach out and procure a copy soon before they become even more scarce.Read full review

With compelling gameplay, a good, solid story and excellent battle mechanics, this game is a gem like few others. I would recommend this to any RPG fan, or even to people interested in the genre. The unique use of job classes mixed with combining traits and abilities and exp. Scaling make it a sweet reward by end game. 10/10

I never played the original final fantasies all that much, which probably helped me enjoy this even more. It's a traditional rpg but also inventive. The difficulty is nice and high and there are interesting systems unique to this game that don't feel unnatural or tacked on. The design and writing is self aware and well done. I love this game and am happy I have Bravely Second to tackle next. I recommend playing on Hard for the most satisfying experience.

This is an old scroll turn based rpg but with updated new graphics. The story isn’t anything “new” as far as final fantasy games go. Yes, this is a final fantasy, just with a weird name. It’s a kind of sequel to four heroes of light. So if you are familiar with the older FF games you will fit right in. It is kind of long. About the time you think it’s all over, it keeps going and gets harder. So you need to be committed.
