TL;DR, flawed, but still a goodie
0 von 1 finden das hilfreich I really enjoyed the game, personally. The story did feel like filler in comparison, albeit engaging none the less. Ending left me disappointed though, I suppose. They tried, but it just didn't feel like a satisfying closure of a game to me. The build up to ending definitely was bigger than the actual ending in my opinion. But that said, if you enjoyed the characters from Bravely Default, this game is a fun direct sequel for that alone. It does feel like an OVA, a movie, or just a filler episode writing style wise, character development wise even on old, established protags, etc. But it's fun, gave me a good laugh countless times, and all the extra dialogue pushed me to keep completing the bestiary out of sheer curiosity, etc. There's a lot of charm and personality, and it's just very lighthearted for the most part. There were some parts that gave me feels too. It did, though, try a bit too hard to be edgy and depressing at times, but it's not on an annoying level at least.
The battle system had some upped overhauls which I find neat, in general UI and feature improvements here and there, and albeit relatively small changes, they contributed to the experience.
Only biggest flaw in my book aside of the ending, is the music.
In comparison to Revos work on Default, Ryo's soundtrack is a 3/10. Aside of like, 3 or so tracks from the newly composed ones that I did like, it's all obnoxious, forgettable, generic, and a big disappointment from every angle. Special Attack themes, and all battle themes spare for the Kaiser battle theme ( it's my favorite ), are the biggest offender on this.
The game constantly bringing back Revos music felt like a blessing.
