Players can drop into up to -4 negative BP, which will result in a combo of turns subsequently enemies receive multiple turns in a row until BP returns to 0.Ĭharacter growth determines how player characters learn new abilities and boost their stats. The " Default" command skips a turn to stock a BP, and the " Brave" command uses that BP to move up to four times. Every character has a personal set of BP. The core games also use a system of stocked points called "BP" (Brave Points) which characters use to gain extra turns. Games also feature elements and status effects, nuances which can affect the course of a battle, with enemies and allies using them to attack and exploit each other's weaknesses and/or to defend themselves, as well as to prepare for an upcoming encounter. The characters have an HP and MP stat, where HP determines the damage characters can take before they are KO'd while MP determines how many spells or other abilities a character can use. Battle commands feature a basic physical attack with the equipped weapon(s), special command abilities (such as magic and summoning) enabled by the job system, and a set of items, though the player may also try to flee from many normal encounters. Instanced battles are based on random encounters while roaming the world map and dungeons. The battle system is primarily menu-based with a variant of the traditional turn-based combat, where the player and the enemy party take turns executing commands (without relying on time). Many installments involve frequent use of menus to select items, skills and upgrades. In the core games this task extends beyond the main story with challenging superbosses and bonus dungeons serving as optional tests of skill. The player will build the party's strength by gradually acquiring new abilities, equipment, and jobs to handle more powerful opponents.

Bravely default 2 quests archive#
Another game called Bravely Archive was released in Japan targeting mobile devices in January 2015.
This game spawned a free-to-play web browser game, Bravely Default: Praying Brage, and a sequel, Bravely Second: End Layer (also released for the 3DS). The series' first game, Bravely Default, was originally conceived as a Nintendo 3DS sequel to the Final Fantasy spin-off Nintendo DS game The 4 Heroes of Light although ultimately it had all its characters/locations renamed and acquired a unique title (so as to be perceived as a brand-new IP), it still retained elements like the traditional storyline of crystals and the Warriors of Light and the traditional job system gameplay (with modifications like incorporating an asterisk system used to acquire and change jobs).
