Bravely Default Remaster for Nintendo Switch 2 Now Available at a Discount on Amazon

Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster quietly launched as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive in June, and if you’re into classic turn-based RPGs from Square Enix, this is definitely worth your time—especially now that it’s on sale. Amazon Prime members can snag it for $30, down from $40, but act fast as this is a limited-time Lightning Deal. Originally hitting the Nintendo 3DS in Japan back in 2012, the expanded version made its way to North America in 2014, making this Switch 2 edition the third iteration of this beloved RPG.

Bravely Default stands out as one of the top titles from the Nintendo 3DS era, and the remaster is perfect for both newcomers and returning fans. It features a visual upgrade, a fast-forward option for cutscenes, two new minigames, and more. The original dual-screen layout has been adapted for the Switch 2’s single screen, offering a presentation style reminiscent of Bravely Default II.

The game boasts a deep Job system that fans of classic Final Fantasy titles will likely enjoy, allowing you to customize each party member’s role at any time. The weapon and armor catalog adds another layer of strategy as you prepare for challenging boss fights. The turn-based combat remains as engaging today as it was over a decade ago. If you liked the mechanics in Square Enix’s Octopath Traveler series, you’ll likely appreciate what Bravely Default has to offer.

The combat system revolves around the Brave/Default mechanics, where characters can use future turns to unleash multiple attacks in one go, but at the cost of having to wait longer for their next turn. Conversely, Default allows you to save your turn for later, with the option to Default up to three times before launching a flurry of attacks.

The remaster also brings back popular time-saving features like adjustable battle speeds and enemy encounter rates. You can set up custom auto-battle profiles, which is great for grinding while enjoying a show. The main campaign offers over 50 hours of gameplay, and with side quests, that number can easily double. Since its original release, Bravely Default has spawned two sequels: Bravely Second: End Layer for 3DS and Bravely Default II for Switch, the latter currently available at a 33% discount.

For those interested in the art side of things, there are official art books available, including The Art of Bravely Default, now priced at $22.82, and The Art of Bravely Default II for $25.49.
