Bravely Second takes place takes place in the same world as the first game, Luxendarc. At the end of Default, players could watch a special teaser for the second game after completing the final chapter. The main character Tiz Arrior collapses at the end of Bravely Default and wakes up some time later, studied at a facility inside a strange restoration tank. Here, he’s saved by a woman named Magnolia Arch who tells him they’re going “somewhere nice.”

Bravely Second starts off two and a half years after Tiz and his friends Agnes, Edea and Ringabel defeat Ouraboros and bring peace to the world. Agnes has recently become Pope of the Crystal Orthodoxy, after which she’s quickly kidnapped by a mysterious villain named Kaiser Oblivion. Agnes’ protector Yew Geneolgia sets out on a quest to rescue her along with Edea and Tiz, as well as Magnolia. The theme of self reliance and following your own path carries over into Bravely Second from Bravely Default.

One of the major complaints with the story in Bravely Default was its repetition. To get the true ending of the game, players had to complete the four dungeons and bosses of the game, five times in a row while mopping up various sidequests as well. The idea was that time would reset after each one and the party would have to try and fix the world over again. Luckily, this kind of repetition is gone from Bravely Second.

Sidequests still play a large role in Second, and the game retains the idea of having a “true” ending. Square Enix has addressed the complaints this time around, and made content more diverse. Players visit many of the locations from the original game like the Kingdom of Caldisla and the sandy city of Ancheim, while also traveling to brand new locales in the world of Luxendarc.

If you’re looking to play the second game without having played Bravely Default, you may want to at least read a story synopsis of the first game. The into of Second tries to catch you up to speed with the major events and plot twists, but there’s still plenty of nods and callbacks for anyone who’s played the first.
