Bravely Default? Bravely Second? Bravely Default 2? This Guide answers if you need to play the first Bravely Default Game first before Bravely Default 2 and whether Bravely Default 2 is a direct sequel or not.
List of Contents
Despite the misleading title, Bravely Default 2 is actually the third entry for the franchise. The first game, Bravely Default, was followed up with a sequel titled Bravely Second. Bravely Default 2 is meant to be seen as a rebirth to the franchise by the creators after Bravely Second received a poorer reception than expected.
Similarly to the first game, the heroes in Bravely Default 2 will be working to restore crystals back to grace. Restoring the crystals gave a support skill slot to the previous game, but it is still unknown what it will provide in Bravely Default 2.
The Job system is a system that allows your characters to change their abilities according to the chosen class (Job) that was assigned to them. A character that was a warrior will be able to cast spells if that character's class is changed to a spell caster and vice versa.
