Updated Images for Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster

Sure thing, let’s dive into this.

Wow, you know what’s funny? I find myself super stoked about playing a game that originally came out maybe ten-ish years back. Yeah, on the old Nintendo 3DS, and now it’s getting a spiffy redo for the Nintendo Switch 2. But don’t think this means the new lineup stinks. Nope, it’s just that Bravely Default is that good.

So, how awesome was this game back in the day? Picture this: when it hit the U.S. in 2014, it snagged a perfect 10/10 from Pure Nintendo. Kind of wild, right? The reviewer, Thomas Jones, went on and on—something about how it’s like a magical mix of old-school and new vibes, sort of like blending classic Final Fantasy with fresh twists. Everything from the graphics to the gameplay just hits the spot, apparently. It’s like Square Enix struck gold with this one.

Now, here’s the thing. The 3DS eShop shutting down? Total bummer for folks into those Japanese role-playing games. Spotted a lot of hurdles for players too. And don’t even start on the whole StreetPass conundrum with the physical games. Made the already tough game even trickier, right? But this HD Remaster? It’s sorting out those messes. Plus — get this — there are new mini-games like Luxencheer Rhythm Catch (what even is that?) and Ringabel’s Panic Cruise. The Joy-Con mouse is doing its thing here.

Visuals are a big deal too. The initial version had this sweet 3D display thing going on, but the do-over should offer something equally eye-popping. At least, if those art sneak peeks are anything to measure by.

And oh man, the job-based battles, and the costumes! The game’s got this whole vibe going with the character get-ups, you know?

So, summing it all up, if you missed out before, the Switch 2 version is like a golden ticket to the Bravely Default world. Perfect for both newbies and for fans looking for a second round of fun.

I mean, if you want a detailed scoop on the story or that brave/default combat fun, go hit up square-enix-games.com. And hey, if you’re ready to dive in, pre-orders are out there in the Nintendo eShop, $39.99 a pop. June 5th, folks—mark it down.

Anyway, where was I going with this… oh well, hope you check it out!
