Bravely Default

Bravely Default (2012)

by Silicon Studio, Square Enix, Nintendo
Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Adventure
Themes:Fantasy
Game modes:Single player
Story:Bravely Default follows the story of main character Tiz, a humble shepherd and the lone survivor of a cataclysmic event, as he joins a group of loyal companions on a journey to restore balance to the world. The battle system is what differentiates Bravely Default from other RPGs. Here players can strategically choose when to initiate two complementary commands: Brave and Default. This innovative system encourages players to think carefully about strategy during every enemy encounter. Selecting "Brave" lets players increase the number of actions a character can take in a turn, while "Default" allows players to store actions for later use.Show more

One of the first RPGs I got for the 3DS and it remains one of my favorite RPGs of all time with its Final Fantasy Tactics-esque Job system and engrossing story. With the shut down of the 3DS shop in March 2023 and the lack of a online release (as of February 2025), the only way to play this and its sequel Bravely Second: End Layer is buying it secondhand or through emulation. This makes this game in danger of being lost to time and I would find that a major loss for RPG enjoyers everywhere. I genuinely think everyone should play this game at least once.

Sega Ages 2500 Vol. 32: Phantasy Star Complete Collection
Sega Ages 2500 Vol. 32: Phantasy Star Complete CollectionThe PlayStation 2 version, part of Sega's PS2 line of Sega Ages titles, is significantly different from the Sega Saturn version. Renamed Phantasy Star Complete Collection, this version includes the Phantasy Star II Text Adventures series, released exclusively to the Sega Meganet network, with the first of the eight games (the one following the adventures of Rolf) available to be played without unlocking. It also includes the two Game Gear titles of the series, Phantasy Star Gaiden and Phantasy Star Adventure. Unlike the GBA version, it includes all four titles of the original series. While, unlike the Sega Ages titles Phantasy Star Generation 1 and Phantasy Star Generation 2, the games are mainly untouched, several options that are not available in the Sega Saturn version are included. These options can drastically alter the games, both visually (with graphical options ranging from changing resolution, interlacing, smoothness and scanlines) and in gameplay. The changes in gameplay can alter the speed of the characters (much like the option available for Phantasy Star II and Phantasy Star III in the Saturn version, but available to all games) and also the difficulty, by changing how much money and experience the player gets from fights, which can drastically reduce the time necessary to complete the games. There are also options to change the type of machine and localization of the games, making it possible to play them in their Japanese version as well as their English localized counterparts. This compilation was released on PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 3 in 2012.
