Critic Reviews for Bravely Second: End Layer
Bravely Second: End Layer isn't quite the innovative powerhouse its predecessor was, but offers a more refined experience that learns from Bravely Default's mistakes.
A good combat system and gorgeous visuals are significantly let down by an underwhelming and perfunctory narrative that can make progression a real chore. Whilst there are elements that work in isolation, Bravely Second doesn't manage to tie them together in a way that matches the quality of the original.
Bravely Second is an unapologetic sequel to a JRPG that is a spiritual successor to another, and all the better for it.
A great combat system and world held back by immersion-breaking dialogue choices.
Another inspired attempt to modernise old school Japanese role-players, while retaining all the charm and depth of early era Final Fantasies.
Enjoying everything Bravely Second has to offer still requires putting up with a lot of filler
Despite a cloying story and poor dialogue, Bravely Second is a sweeping adventure.
