Bravely Default

Bravely Default (2012)

by Silicon Studio, Square Enix, Nintendo
Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Adventure
Themes:Fantasy
Game modes:Single player
Story:Bravely Default follows the story of main character Tiz, a humble shepherd and the lone survivor of a cataclysmic event, as he joins a group of loyal companions on a journey to restore balance to the world. The battle system is what differentiates Bravely Default from other RPGs. Here players can strategically choose when to initiate two complementary commands: Brave and Default. This innovative system encourages players to think carefully about strategy during every enemy encounter. Selecting "Brave" lets players increase the number of actions a character can take in a turn, while "Default" allows players to store actions for later use.Show more

One of the first RPGs I got for the 3DS and it remains one of my favorite RPGs of all time with its Final Fantasy Tactics-esque Job system and engrossing story. With the shut down of the 3DS shop in March 2023 and the lack of a online release (as of February 2025), the only way to play this and its sequel Bravely Second: End Layer is buying it secondhand or through emulation. This makes this game in danger of being lost to time and I would find that a major loss for RPG enjoyers everywhere. I genuinely think everyone should play this game at least once.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
