Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster is set to launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, coinciding with the console's debut. This remastered version of the beloved 2012 Nintendo 3DS JRPG elevates the gaming experience into the HD era, featuring enhanced graphics, a revamped interface, and the ability to fast forward through both battles and cut scenes. Preorders are now open, and you can find more details below.

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster

The game's surprisingly affordable price of $39.99 is partly due to its format as a "game-key card." This means the physical copy you purchase does not include the game on the disk but rather a card that serves as a key to download the 11GB game from the eShop.

Note: This is a Game-Key Card

Some Nintendo Switch 2 games come on cards that contain the full game data, but Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster uses a game-key card. This card looks similar to a Switch 2 cartridge but does not contain the game itself. To play, you must insert the card into your Switch 2 and download the game from the eShop. However, you can still lend or sell the physical card to others.

What is Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster?

Originally released on the 3DS, Bravely Default is a classic turn-based JRPG centered around a group of heroes on a quest to find four crystals. The game's standout feature is its innovative combat system, which allows players to save turns and execute multiple actions simultaneously. Additionally, the deep job system lets you customize your party members' abilities.

The HD remaster retains all these elements and introduces new features such as fast-forwarding through battles and cut scenes, adjustable encounter rates, an online mode, and new minigames.
