    Good but a lot of reused assets

    This is a solid JRPG for the 3DS. The gameplay has been improved from the first game with the jobs being better balanced although it still plays similarly. You can now choose to go into another battle immediately if you beat an enemy group in a single turn which gives you an multiplier on money, exp, and job points. There's also been a minigame added in which you make Chomper toys for money. The story is nice, but not too surprising. Unlike the first game, you now have to choose between two jobs at several points making your playthrough a bit more unique than in the first game. You will be able to get all the jobs eventually though. Unfortunately, the english voice acting sounds like it was recorded at low quality (there's always the option for Japanese voices), a lot of assets (enemies, backgrounds, maps, etc.) were recycled from the first game, and the music isn't as nice as the first game's because of the developer being unable to get the same composer.

    The Bravely series has some of the best Collector's Editions in gaming. The packaging is great, and this time you get a soundtrack and art book. Only complaint is this CE did not come with cards like the original did. Doesn't hurt that the Bravely series is even better at being Final Fantasy than Final Fantasy has been lately. Really high quality 3DS JRPG. As a note, it looks like Best Buy's description mentions the European mini figure of Agnes. The American version of the game does not include the figurine though, just the art book and soundtrack.

    This game is a must-have, especially for those who had previously played Bravely Default! The collector's edition itself is really nice, with a huge artbook which surprised by how large it was in size. Some of the negative reviews posted on here are due to censorship. While I agree it is lame, especially how we did not get the Agnes figure in the US collector's, it does not warrant the low reviews just for censorship.

    Improves on the previous game. Special edition is very nicely made and worth the money. The cover is very beautiful and the enclosed art book is even better.

    The artbook in this is definitely worth it! I didn't expect the box and book to be so big! The mini album is a bit disappointing in that it's like a sampler, but the artbook really makes up most of the value of the collector's edition even though it is the censored NA version. The game is great so far and brings back all the good mechanics from the previous game

    Very complete collector's edition, includes artbook, videogame, special package and sountrack. My only gripe it's that the european version is way better but this one is still pretty good.

    If you haven't played Bravely Default and Bravely Second you should try them, these games are so fun and the story and game play are really enjoyable. The box of this edition is so good, I love the way that it looks in my collection shelf!

    Finally the long awaited sequel to Bravely Default. I've been waiting for this ever since watching the teaser trailer at the end of Bravely Default. I'm also glad this game also got a limited edition release although once again the US LE was once again inferior to the EU LE I'm still grateful we got one. The art book is beautiful as is the box everything comes in, haven't listened to the soundtrack but I know I'll love the music based on what I've heard from the demo. I'm glad I preordered my copy to secure the preorder dlc and hopefully you can get your hands on the LE which is well worth the money but if not at least get the game if you played the first one otherwise buy that one too and catch up before starting this game.

    This game is great, there's no doubt about it. However, since this review is for the collector's edition, I would have to say that Best Buy doesn't really take very good care of their special edition boxes in store. It is partially my fault for picking the wrong one, but it's harder to inspect when they're in clear cases--and ultimately it shouldn't be an issue anyway. The damage spread through to the artbook as well. Even so, the damage was minimal, so it isn't the worst... but I would still recommend getting this limited edition--the overall package is great.

    Better than Bravely Default

    This RPG has a great class and battle system that meshes together, with an interesting story, great world to explore, and it fixes the issues that plagued Bravely Default with its lackluster second half. Oh, and it has a beautiful soundtrack to boot. One of the best RPGs on the 3DS, and a better title than Bravely Default. Great series off to a great start!

    I loved the first game. The sequel does recycle area from the first...but the story is great again. My only gripe so far is having to choose between which jobs to unlock. You are given 2 jobs each side quest and have to chose only 1. Makes it tough when debating on the moral right, and the cool job

    and this is no exception, but it's a lovely little set. if only the game were as good as the first installment it might have made the purchase more justified.

    I tried to get this game's collector's edition when it first came out and was incredibly disappointed to see that no store in North America had a single copy. The minute I saw one available I snatched it up, it's an amazing game and the collector's content is worth the higher price.

    I have yet to play the game. This I strictly a review of what comes in the box. The Artbook that it comes with is HUGE! I love all the detail and care that was put into it. I loved Bravely Defualt so I expect nothing less from this sequel.

    After the initial surge of pre-orders I never thought I would have found this item. It truly was worth what I paid for it. Everything from the soundtrack to the art book just add more depth to the game itself

    Loved the first Bravely Default and this one gives us more lore in that universe. Gameplay was already tight enough in the first one, but adjustments have been made to make it even better this time around.
