Bravely Default follows the story of main character Tiz a humble shepherd and the lone survivor of a cataclysmic event as he joins a group of loyal companions on a journey to restore balance to the world. The battle system is what differentiates Bravely Default from other RPGs. Here players can strategically choose when to initiate two complementary commands: Brave and Default. This innovative system encourages players to think carefully about strategy during every enemy encounter. Selecting "Brave" lets players increase the number of actions a character can take in a turn while "Default" allows players to store actions for later use.
