Without warning, the Great Chasm opened a hole in the world. Tiz is the sole survivor of a village swallowed whole by the chasm. In the depths of his despair, he encounters a young vestal named Agnes. Together they set off on a journey with the goal of closing the chasm and freeing the crystals swallowed by darkness….
They set off, entirely unaware of the significance of that goal.
Characters
- Tiz Arrior (voiced by Bryce Papenbrok in English) – A kind, young man hoping to rebuild his home.
- Agnes Oblige (voiced by Erin Fitzgerald in English) – A vestal seeking to awaken the crystals.

System
Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster includes all the helpful features from the original Nintendo 3DS version, such the ability to speed up the pace of battle and adjust enemy encounter rates, plus new enhancements, like high definition graphics, a redesigned user interface, the ability to fast forward event scenes and two new minigames. The networking features used in the original version on Nintendo 3DS have been retooled for the Nintendo Switch 2’s free network connectivity.
Battle
Managing the brave points (BP) that determine the number of your actions is the cornerstone of battle in Bravely Default. Two commands bring a new dimension of enjoyment to battle: brave to expend BP and increase the number of actions taken in a turn, or default to shore up your defenses and accumulate BP for later.
Mix and match the various jobs you can obtain through battles against powerful foes to create even more strategic options!
