'Bravely Default II' Comes to PC Next Week - Screens & Trailer

Bravely Default II is a successor to the original Bravely Default game and will have players embark on a new story in a new world, featuring all-new Heroes of Light.

Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, nature's masters,
The Crystals' power exceeds the hand of man,
And if unleashed, would bring down death, disaster,
Calamity and blight upon the land.
―― Ancient quatrain of Kingdom Musa

Guided by fate, it’s up to you to stop the forces that threaten these heroes and all of Excillant.

Explore a new world as you fight for survival with your customized team of heroes in the Bravely Default II game, a strikingly beautiful RPG adventure. Bravely Default II features a battle system that emphasizes strategy, with players deciding when to attack (Brave) or hold back and wait for the right moment to strike (Default).


Square Enix announced that Bravely Default II will make its debut on PC via Steam on September 2, 2021.

Fans can save 10% on the game by purchasing it through Steam now until September 13, 2021.

Follow the story of a young sailor as he sets out on a grand adventure and meets plenty of friends (and foes) along the way. Defeat bosses to acquire character jobs, each with their own set of distinct abilities. The more you learn, the more tactics you’ll wield.

  • Seth: A young sailor who drifts to the continent of Excillant and is the main character of this story. Meet Gloria, an exiled princess whose kingdom was robbed of its Crystals, and set out on a journey to recover them with her.
  • Gloria: The princess of Musa, a kingdom that once watched over the harmony of the world - but the loss of the kingdom's Crystals led Musa to destruction. Having fallen into despair and gone into hiding, she decides to embark on a journey to retrieve the Crystals.
  • Adelle: A mercenary for hire. She travels with Elvis as his bodyguard in his search for an asterisk.
  • Elvis: A scholar who travels the world. Embark on a journey in search of a particular asterisk needed to unravel the last spellbook left by his master.

Brave Points (BP) dictate how many actions a character can use in a single turn. Players can have characters 'Default' to stock up to three additional BP to use in a turn, or characters can 'Brave', to use more than one BP to perform multiple actions. Balancing stockpiling and using BP is a key component in battle strategy.

Each character can exhibit both a primary and secondary job class, with each job specializing in different abilities. Combining jobs allow you to handle two abilities simultaneously. You can create an all-rounder balanced in offense and defense, or perhaps a character that specializes in magic. Your tactics and how you develop each character are up to you.

“Asterisk bearers” will often block your path forward. By defeating them, you will obtain an Asterisk that enables you to change jobs.

From the same team behind the Bravely Default and Octopath Traveler games, Bravely Default II will also feature music by Revo (Sound Horizon/Linked Horizon), composer of the Bravely Default soundtrack.

Currently available for Nintendo Switch, Bravely Default II is coming to PC (Steam) on September 2, 2021.
