I’m perpetually tired, as I suspect many of us are. A pile of adult commitments and ambitions, and a lust for JRPGs is a tough one to juggle. I’m so grateful that Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster seems to get that time is at a premium for me and other JRPG fans, even if that name is ludicrously long and it’s a remaster of a 13 year old 3DS game.
I’ve been a JRPG fan for as long as I can remember, and the older I get, the more unforgiving the genre becomes. Most JRPGs aren’t appreciative of time constraints. They’ll throw countless borderline pointless side quests at you (hi, Final Fantasy 7 Remake) and some will even keep save points spread out so you’re tied in for a while. With a busy life, it’s tough to squeeze any JRPG in. However, I’m confident that everyone can find time for Bravely Default: Never-Ending Name and it’s the Switch 2’s secret weapon right now.
