New Images Revealed for Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster

Sure thing, here we go:

—

I can’t stop thinking about this game—Bravely Default. Ever heard of it? Anyway, it’s coming back, apparently. Not like a comeback, come back, but more like a remastered something-or-other on the new Nintendo Switch 2. Which, by the way, isn’t too shabby for a lineup but hey, nostalgia’s powerful, right?

So, back in the day, the 3DS version landed a perfect score from some folks over at Pure Nintendo. I mean, 10/10 is solid. I remember reading this breakdown by a guy named Thomas Jones—he had this thing where he basically gushed over how it was like a fusion of retro and fresh awesomeness. Think, classic Final Fantasy vibes, but with a modern twist. No idea why this stuck, maybe because I was feeling all the feels for RPGs back then.

Here’s the kicker, though: the 3DS eShop’s a goner. Like, bye-bye. Makes it kinda hard to replay the classics, you know? Plus, StreetPass — remember that? Yeah, that made things interesting, but like, in a complicated way. Good news? This HD Remaster thing is saying sayonara to StreetPass but — wait for it — hellooo mini-games! Luxencheer Rhythm Catch? Ringabel’s Panic Cruise? Like, who even thinks of these names? But I’m weirdly excited about trying the Joy-Con mouse deal.

And oh, the visuals, man. Supposedly, they’re gonna pop off the screen even without the 3D effect—because, let’s face it, sometimes 3D just meant double the eye strain.

Costumes! The battles! The job-changing antics! Guess if you missed Bravely Default the first time ’round, this is your chance. Or maybe you’re just like me and love playing through it yet again.

Oh, and pro tip: squaresoft? Nah, Square Enix! You can dive into the story and stuff online — square-enix-games.com, if memory serves. And those who like their games digital — pre-orders are already a thing on the eShop for about 40 bucks. Releases June 5th with the Switch 2, FYI.

Did I cover everything? Not sure, but yeah, it’s definitely coming, and I’m kinda pumped.
