Professional reviews from gaming critics
Bravely Second: End Layer is an absolute delight of a game.

What I got was exactly that, with a more streamlined story that featured less repetition than Bravely Default and a new focus on character relationships — I finished Bravely Second in around 55 hours, while my play clock for Bravely Default was over 80. Bravely Second’s saccharine characters and dialog might be a turn-off for some, but as a delivery method for more tinkering with an awesome job/class system, it’s better than adequate. Bravely Second is every bit as good as its predecessor, but with…
It is the sequel to 2012 hit turn-based role-playing game Bravely Default and it is once again coming your way on the Nintendo 3DS, but does the sequel live up to its predecessor?
