Evaluation

BRAVELY DEFAULT II launched on September 2, 2021 as a complete, self-contained JRPG. The game has no DLC listed on the store and no post-launch content updates have been released for it. The two recent news posts associated with this game's Steam page are announcements for entirely separate Square Enix titles: the BRAVELY DEFAULT FLYING FAIRY HD Remaster (a remaster of the original game in the series, launched March 12, 2026) and The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (a new action RPG from the same creators, launched June 18, 2026). Neither of these constitutes new content for BRAVELY DEFAULT II itself. Square Enix has made no announcements of DLC, expansions, or post-launch updates for BRAVELY DEFAULT II at any point. The game shipped as a finished product with no post-launch content cycle.

About this game

Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, nature's masters,
The Crystals' power exceeds the hand of man,
And if unleashed, would bring down death, disaster,
Calamity and blight upon the land.
―― Ancient quatrain of Kingdom Musa

Guided by fate, it’s up to you to stop the forces that threaten these heroes and all of Excillant.

A new entry in the “Bravely” series
A new world, a new story, and all-new Heroes of Light
"Four new Heroes of Light emerge"

Seth

A young sailor who drifts to the continent of Excillant and is the main character of this story.
Meet Gloria, an exiled princess whose kingdom was robbed of its Crystals, and set out on a journey to recover them with her.

Gloria

The princess of Musa, a kingdom that once watched over the harmony of the world - but the loss of the kingdom's Crystals led Musa to destruction. Having fallen into despair and gone into hiding, she decides to embark on a journey to retrieve the Crystals.

Adelle

A mercenary for hire. She travels with Elvis as his bodyguard in his search for an asterisk.

Elvis

A scholar who travels the world. Embark on a journey in search of a particular asterisk needed to unravel the last spellbook left by his master.

In addition to a traditional, turn-based battle system that combines jobs and abilities, you can enjoy innovative and strategic battles unique to the Bravely series by taking control of your turns via the Brave and Default system.

Brave and Default

Brave Points (BP) dictate how many actions a character can use in a single turn. Players can have characters 'Default' to stock up to three additional BP to use in a turn, or characters can 'Brave', to use more than one BP to perform multiple actions. Balancing stockpiling and using BP is a key component in battle strategy.

Jobs and Abilities

Each character can exhibit both a primary and secondary job class, with each job specializing in different abilities.
Combining jobs allow you to handle two abilities simultaneously. You can create an all-rounder balanced in offense and defense, or perhaps a character that specializes in magic. Your tactics and how you develop each character are up to you.
