The game has opened to some very good reviews:
Meristation: 9.5/10
Meristation: 9.5/10
NintendoWorldReport: 9.5/10Square Enix delivers one of the best JRPGs we've tried on 3DS. The new battle-gameplay mechanics are fun and immersive, and the story-line will keep us close to the 3DS for as long as the adventure lasts. It's a must-have for every 3DS owner and by far the best of its genre, plain and simple.
Eurogamer Italy: 9/10Various gameplay elements have never been this balanced before, and the story will keep you interested for many hours to come. The same goes for the presentation, which shows how lush and endearing games can truly be on the system.
God is a Geek: 9/10Bravely Default is one of the best traditional JRPGs and the best new IP from Square Enix in years.
Nintendo Life: 9/10Ironically, Bravely Default is one of the best Final Fantasies in years. Taking the very best of 8/16-bit entries of the series, and bringing them up to date with some beautiful graphics, clever features and engaging gameplay, this is a must for someone looking for a more traditional JRPG.
Official Nintendo Magazine UK: 9/10Any 3DS owner with even a fleeting interest in role-playing games and a desire to get lost in an incredible, engaging adventure would be doing themselves a huge favour by picking up Bravely Default without delay.
Awesome reviews. So many 3DS games to try out!This is the road the Final Fantasy series should have taken; a refreshing new take on JRPG that will have fans of the genre giddy with excitement.
