Item Condition
Complete in box: the cartridge, the manual and the box, all original; anything beyond that is included only if you can see it in the photos. The photos are of this exact copy — look them over closely for its condition, packaging and details. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.
Item Description
The earth opens beneath the farming village of Norende and swallows it whole, and a young shepherd named Tiz Arrior is the only one who climbs out alive. That is how Bravely Default begins, and it sets the tone for a 3DS role-playing game that wears its love of classic Final Fantasy openly while asking a bolder question: what if you could borrow turns from the future? Developed by Silicon Studio with Square Enix under producer Tomoya Asano, and published in the West by Nintendo, it brought crystals, job classes and a four-hero party back to handheld RPGs with real swagger.
The battle system gives the game its name. Choosing Default puts a character on guard and banks a Brave Point for later; choosing Brave spends those points for up to four actions in a single turn, and you can even go into debt, leaving that hero standing helpless while the turns are paid back. Every fight becomes a small wager. Do you weather a boss's opening flurry and then unload four spells at once, or gamble everything on ending the encounter before the enemy can answer? Jobs are won by defeating the asterisk holders who carry them, and abilities from one class can be slotted onto another, so building a party turns into a puzzle of your own design: a Knight carrying a Black Mage's support skills, a Ninja borrowing tricks from a Spiritmaster. Adjustable encounter rates and battle speed let you grind hard or barely at all.
Tiz travels with Agnès Oblige, the Wind Vestal sworn to reawaken the darkened crystals; Edea Lee, a sharp-tongued soldier who turns against the Eternian forces she was raised to serve; and Ringabel, a flirtatious amnesiac carrying a journal that seems to describe events before they happen. Their banter carries the long road across Luxendarc, whose towns are painted like storybook dioramas and look especially handsome in stereoscopic 3D. Revo of Sound Horizon wrote the score, and its sweeping battle themes are a big part of why fans still bring this game up years later. A side project to rebuild Norende, villager by villager, ties the adventure back to the disaster that started it.
Bravely Default turned out to be the beginning of something bigger. It led directly to Bravely Second: End Layer, and Asano's team went on to make Octopath Traveler, which carries plenty of this game's DNA. The story's second half takes a famous turn that divides players, but it is also where the script's cleverest ideas land. This is where the Bravely line started and the place to see its turn-banking idea at its freshest, with enough job combinations to keep a dedicated party-builder tinkering long after the credits.

About the game
Bravely Default follows the story of main character Tiz, a humble shepherd and the lone survivor of a cataclysmic event, as he joins a group of loyal companions on a journey to restore balance to the world. The battle system is what differentiates Bravely Default from other RPGs. Here players can strategically choose when to initiate two complementary commands: Brave and Default. This innovative system encourages players to think carefully about strategy during every enemy encounter. Selecting "Brave" lets players increase the number of actions a character can take in a turn, while "Default" allows players to store actions for later use.
