STORY
Without warning, the Great Chasm opened a hole in the world.
Tiz is the sole survivor of a village swallowed whole by the chasm.
In the depths of his despair, he encounters a young vestal named Agnès.
Together they set off on a journey with the goal of closing the chasm and freeing the crystals swallowed by darkness....
They set off, entirely unaware of the significance of that goal.

Managing the brave points (BP) that determine the number of your actions is the cornerstone of battle in BRAVELY DEFAULT.
Two commands bring a new dimension of enjoyment to battle: brave to expend BP and increase the number of actions taken in a turn, or default to shore up your defenses and accumulate BP for later.
BRAVELY DEFAULT FLYING FAIRY HD Remaster includes all the helpful features from the original Nintendo 3DS version, such the ability to speed up the pace of battle and adjust enemy encounter rates, plus new enhancements, like high definition graphics, a redesigned UI, the ability to fast forward event scenes and two new minigames.
The networking features used in the original version on Nintendo 3DS have been retooled for the Nintendo Switch 2’s free network connectivity.
Originally released in 2012 for the Nintendo 3DS, BRAVELY DEFAULT FLYING FAIRY HD Remaster brings the unforgettable story, iconic characters designed by Akihiko Yoshida (FINAL FANTASY TACTICS, NieR:Automata) and innovative “Brave & Default” turn-based battle system to the current generation of gamers for the Nintendo Switch 2 system. The HD remaster features updated graphics and new content, perfect for long-time fans to revisit the world of Luxendarc and for newcomers alike.
