    A mix of really good and really bad voiceover work makes this cozy RPG an uneven experience. The supporting cast of characters all fit in neatly with the world and elevate the game itself. The protagonist, Seth, sounds like a really bad anime dub. It's kind of tragic when we have to hear from one character more than any other and that character has a really dull performance from aA mix of really good and really bad voiceover work makes this cozy RPG an uneven experience.

    The game starts realy good, but it keeps getting boring the more you play. The enemies in the dungeons are so fast that its basicly a random battle every time you give ten steps. The bosses sometimes are very strong against your class, that you have to grind another class to beat them.

    Bravely Default 2 was a good but safe JRPG on Nintendo Switch when it launched earlier this year. On PC, despite being a bare-bones port, most of the technical issues that plagued the Nintendo Switch version are resolved with it looking and running massively better. This is the best way to play Bravely Default 2, but it should’ve been a more fully-featured port.

    While the combat system of the Bravely Default 2 is unique and offers a high risk, high reward style of gameplay not seen elsewhere, the overall experience plays out in classic JRPG fashion. I had fun grinding out XP for the jobs I wanted, with it never feeling like a chore, the true sign of a well made JRPG. The lack of mouse support for the PC version though is next to unacceptable with all the menus you work in. Classic JRPG style, not necessarily a modern day classic. The lack of true innovations keep it from perfection.

    We don’t get JRPGs of this caliber every day. With a turn-based battle system that not only facilitates experimentation and customizability but also serves up a real challenge, Bravely Default II is a game that knows how to engage its players. Its narrative doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but there’s tangible effort put into these characters and plenty of surprises to be found along the way. The addictive moment-to-moment gameplay and the amount of content on offer is well worth the price of admission on either Switch or PC, but it’s hard not to prefer the latter for its higher resolution and smoother framerate. It really gives the game’s beautiful artwork the treatment it deserves.
