Bravely Default 2 review: A good dose of JRPG nostalgia

The Japanese role playing game (JRPG) has been fighting to stay relevant in the era of Witcher 3 and Skyrim. While games like Persona and Final Fantasy managed to break through, many have not.A handful of them evoke the nostalgia of early games in the genre. Bravely Default 2 is one of them. Much like the plot of the first Final Fantasy, Bravely Default 2 centres around four heroes of light, who have set out to save the world from an ultimate evil. Given that it has Square Enix’s name on it, there are crystals involved too. The game is not to be confused with Bravely Second, which was a sequel to Bravely Default. The story, the world and heroes of Bravely Default 2 are different. So, it is not a prerequisite you play the earlier games. But those who have, will be pleasantly surprised at the nods to the earlier games.
