Now, here’s where I have come clean. I’ve yet to play aBravely Defaulttitle. Sure, I purchased the first one back on the 3DS, but it still sits on the pile of shame that is my backlog. However, I’ve always admired them from afar. That mostly comes down to the art style and soundtrack being phenomenal, but it remains a series I want to find time for.
Bravely Default 2represents a potential new jumping-on point for me. It’s a completely new world, which hopefully means I wouldn’t be lost hopping in. Of course, I’d assume there will be references, but I think I’ll be fine. If you’re in my same boat, it’s probably worth giving the demo a download to see if this game is for you.
Bravely Default 2comes to Nintendo Switch on February 26. The final demo is available now, but it doesn’t look like it will go away. And, if you download it beforelaunch day, you can score yourself a few extra My Nintendo Platinum Points. It will put you a fourth of the way toward somePikmin 3 Deluxecoasters.
