Sure thing. Here we go:

So, yeah, the Switch 2 is coming out, right? And guess what I’m jazzed about? A game from way back in 2012! Not throwing shade at the new lineup or anything, but hey, “Bravely Default” from the 3DS era was something else.
Back in the day, like 2014 or something, Pure Nintendo gave it a perfect score. I mean, Thomas Jones practically gushed over it, talking about its mix of retro charm and new flair. Picture this: a bit of that old-school Final Fantasy vibe, but with some modern twists, like adding a splash of ketchup to your fries. Maybe it’s an acquired taste. Who knows.
Here’s the kicker though – with the 3DS shop shutdown, JRPG lovers hit a snag. Plus, there were these quirky gameplay bits tied to StreetPass. Like, what’s StreetPass even doing now? Collecting dust? No worries though; the remaster’s ditching all that baggage and tossing in new mini-games. Got some fancy names too, like Luxencheer Rhythm Catch. Try saying that three times fast. The Joy-Cons will be your new best friends.
Visually, they’re sprucing things up. No more 3D, sadly. It’s like losing an old sock – kinda nostalgic but maybe you don’t miss the smell. The art samples look promising, though.
And let’s not skirt over the cool job-based battle system and those costume swaps. Seriously, who doesn’t love a good dress-up moment mid-battle?
In the end, if you missed this game back then, this Switch 2 version is like destiny knocking. Or just a sweet chance to revisit an old friend.
Oh, and if you’re curious about the backstory and that brave/default combat thingy, Square Enix’s site is your go-to. Pre-orders are up for 40 bucks. Launches the same day as Switch 2 – June 5th. There, I think I covered it all… or most of it. Maybe.
