He won't rest until he has restored his village. Edea Lee Initially dispatched by her fatherem-the Grand Marshal of the Eternian Forcesem-to capture Agnès, Edea eventually joins Tiz's party in their quest to seek the truth and restore balance to the world. Ringabel Confident and charming, the rakish Ringabel remembers nothing of his past. The future is another storyem-this maidens' man possesses a mysterious journal that tells him his destinations and the people he will meet. Airy This Cryst-Fairy accompanies Agnès on her journey and provides valuable information about Luxendarc and the ways of the world. Combat DARE to risk everything in battle Calculated risk and reward are central to the battles in Bravely Default. As you wander the landscape of Luxendarc, enemies will take the fight to you when you least expect item- so you need to be ready with a well-balanced team and sound strategies. Breaking Down the Battle Bravely Default offers turn-based battles with a twist. You'll find a wealth of traditional moves and abilities at your disposal, and also innovative game play mechanicsem-like the Brave, Default, and Bravely Second commandsem-that enhance battles in new ways. Brave & Default Success in combat demands that you wisely manage your Brave Points (BP). When you enter a battle, you can elect to Defaultem-which partially shields you from attacks and builds up BPem-or to Braveem-which spends BP to unleash multiple attacks at once. If you unleash your Brave attacks at the right time, you can defeat tough enemies quickly, preserve the health of your party members and gain bonus points towards jobs and experience. Bravely Second In addition to Brave Points, your characters can use Sleep Points (SP) to freeze time for your enemies during battle with the Bravely Second command. It's a powerful tool, but you should use it sparinglyem-you need to put your Nintendo 3DS or 2DS system in Sleep Mode to slowly build up your SP. Special Moves Each weapon has special moves that you can make your own with customized names. You can also create a battle cry for when you unleash the move in combat. Assign your move to your profile, and then exchange it with other Bravely Default players via the StreetPass feature. Jobs:
