Bravely Second commits the rare sin of being a better game that the prequel, yet still coming of as slightly inferior. The battle system and RPG-mechanics both got an upgrade. The 3rd act again relies on a time travel twist, yet it is now (mostly) filled with original content, instead of being an aggravating loop. The problem though are the blander presentation, the barely there narrative and the 2 engaging new leads. The world navigation is also less memorable, despite being more streamlined and the game lastly features less connections to the FF mythos. I can obviously recommend the game but you need to be a fan of the original to finish the journey.
