Elvis, on the other hand, is seeking Asterisks that reveal pages from the book in his possession, and so the two pairs combine forces to work towards both objectives. Seth’s motivation involves assisting Gloria with the recovery of the four elemental crystals, a timeworn trope to be sure, but it works well enough. Thankfully, the visual aspects I’ll mention later are much more palatable.
Unfortunately, the character models themselves have a hollow, doll-like appearance that worked much better on the less powerful 3DS than it does here. All characters except for generic townspeople are voiced as well, which was a welcome surprise for such a lengthy title. The voice acting is generally quite good and really grew on me by the time I rolled the “final” credits (more on that later). Over the course of the game, the interactions between the party members and the party as a whole make them endearing, adding tension and emotional weight to the narrative. It isn’t long before Seth meets the rest of his travelling companions: Gloria, a princess from a kingdom in ruins Elvis, a mage with a mysterious tome and Adelle, a mercenary accompanying Elvis on his journey.
Players can change Seth’s name if they wish, but not the other characters.
The story begins with a sailor, Seth, who washes upon the shores of an unknown land after a storm separates him from his ship. While not quite everything lands with the bang of a Dragoon’s jump attack, there’s more than enough quality JRPG goodness to while away a few dozen happy hours. It carries forward a beautiful art style, mesmerizing soundtrack, and top-notch job system. Fear not, Switch owners! The Bravely Default series has made its debut on your console after two previous games on the 3DS. In Square Enix’s case, almost every Final Fantasy game since FFVII has moved further and further away from the turn-based classic style of the original six entries in the series, leaving lovers of these games largely in the lurch. A wide swath of RPG fans still longs for the 8 and 16-bit, top-down experiences that found a home during the NES and SNES eras.
