One saving grace is that you can increase the speed of battle a lot, cutting down time it takes to grind out levels. While there are difficulty options, it can still be a bit of a grind, especially in the later parts of the game. One seemed to counter all damage, while another crippled my team to the point where I had no chance of acting for a long period of time, ending me without letting me do anything. Bosses offer up a fair bit of challenge, however, there are times when the difficulty spikes so drastically that some bosses feel completely unfair. When it comes to standard encounters in the world, you’re often able to just brave everyone to the max and steamroll through the enemies quickly. It’s a distinguishing feature that sets it apart from other turn-based combat.Īn issue I have with the combat is the inconsistent nature of the difficulty. With BP also used for certain powerful abilities, weighing up your options and managing this crucial resource adds so much to the gameplay. It’s up to you to decide whether you want to take the risk of braving when you don’t have enough BP. Managing your BP is critical, as falling into negative means the party member is unable to act until they reach neutral points. You can also ‘Brave’ up to a total of three times, which allows you to make multiple actions in a single turn, often turning the tide in a battle. Alongside those actions mentioned prior, you can ‘Default’ which acts as a defence command while increasing the number of Brave Points a characters has. In reality, there is another layer of mechanics that adds greater depth and strategy into the mix. On the surface, it may seem like just any other turn-based combat, where you take turns depending on your character’s speed and have the option to attack, use spells and skills and use items. The combat is a standout aspect of Bravely Default 2.
