Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster

Price: $39.99 at Best Buy
Get it at:

• Best Buy - $39.99

Surprisingly affordable at $39.99, this price may reflect the fact that the physical version is a "game-key card" rather than a traditional game disc.

Note: This is a Game-Key Card

Some Nintendo Switch 2 games come on cards that contain the full game data, but this remaster uses a game-key card system. These cards resemble standard Switch 2 cartridges but do not store the game data themselves. Instead, you'll need to insert the card into your Switch 2 to download the 11GB game from the eShop. Despite this, you can still lend or sell the physical card, though playing the game requires the card to be inserted into the console.

What is Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster?

Originally released on the 3DS, Bravely Default harkens back to classic RPGs with its turn-based combat and a narrative centered on a group of heroes seeking four crystals. The game's innovative combat system allows players to save turns for multiple actions, enhancing strategic depth. Additionally, the extensive job system offers the flexibility to assign new abilities to your party members.

The HD remaster retains all these elements and introduces new features like fast-forwarding through battles and cut scenes, adjustable encounter rates, an online mode, and fresh minigames, enriching the overall experience.
