The best plot twist in any game I ever played. What a game. what a fLYING fAIRY indeed.

Chapter 7 has literally no reason to exist other than showing that Airy's wings are counting down. But they could have just started at 4 in the first place.

I remember having my mind blown when the subtitle on the main screen showed "AIRY LIES". I was like: WOAH! And freaked out lol

God i love this game. That twist blew my mind as a child. I can’t wait for bravely default II!!!

Here after learning that Bravely Default 2 is coming to the switch in 2020!

With the celestial thingy with Tiz, I think that the celestial in Tiz is supposed to be the player. Think about it. When the celestial realm opens in the final battle, the 3DS camera turns on and displays your face in the background. Ourobouros might be trying to gain enough power to invade the real world, a.k.a, the Celestial Realm. The celestial in Tiz supposedly make the warriors of light you control "different from the others", according to Airy, and these are the only Warriors of Light you control, allowing them to break the chain. It might just be me being wierd, but hey, it's not like it's new for me.

I really wanted to play Bravely Second but could not for the life of me remember what happened in the second half of Bravely Default, this video was perfect, thanks man!

Bravely Default Flying Fairy Drop the first F. Truth was right in our face 😭😭 Honestly this story was pretty intricate world building wise.

I see we played very similarly. Tiz and Edea on physical jobs, Ringabel as offensive mage and Agnes as support mage.

The reveal of Airy as a traitor I saw coming a mile off and was a little disappointed but after completing the fake ending and going to the title screen seeing the subtitle fade to red leaving Airy Lies omg that's fantastic!

19:50 LOL 'tingabell'

When I hear this all at once....this game is pretty bonkers, lol. Here' to giving the second game....a second chance this winter.

I loved realizing what was going on and shattering a crystal on purpose. That was satisfying

writting the game arround the time loop and connection to other worlds, and integrating those themes into the gameplay and game progression was such a bold move, one which sadly makes it a chore to replay but such a unique experience, best detail in this game is the background of the final boss, which is torn to show other worlds, then if you played on the og 3ds, the camera would activate without you knowing. So while fighting this final boss you look at the background and then see eyes!! and they move! and then you realise it's your own eyes and oh my god what a spectacular feeling experiencing that for the first time, definitely one of the smartest use of being on a portable hardware with a camera, i'm still holding my memories of my first time playing this game close to my heart!

This is a fantastic video to go over the events of Bravely Default, thank you for making this. You didn't miss a single detail and the music also suits the scenes, I can see you have prepared this video very carefully, amazing work

This video along with the music is something I keep coming back to. Idk why but it just draws me in and I actually watch it to the end in each session. Gosh you're awesome.

This video is so helpful! I've been wanting to play the bravely games and was in chapter 6 of bravely default before the repetition made me stop playing. With this video I can move on to bravely second and bravely default 2 without regrets! Thanks dude

Thanks so much for doing this video. Bravely Second comes out next week, and it's been a year since I played and beat Bravely Default and I didnt really feel like replaying it. Redo'ing the whole crystal thing 5 times was exhausting the first time lol. I appreciate this recap though now my memory is refreshed and I'm ready for Bravely Second!

Thanks for making this! It was a great way to recap the story before restarting Bravely Second!

the player is the celestial spirit, " The celestial spirit is you the player. When Norende was destroyed and Till died Tiz was brought to state of near death, falling into a coma. The reason he finally awoke from that coma at the start of the game was because Airy's sister led you the player into him. Your spirit gave Tiz the strength to awaken and live once more, and then you guided him and the rest of the party to take down Airy and Ouroboros. The celestial spirit inside of Tiz is what Mephillia was talking about when she said another soul resided in him and why DeRosso called him hollow. During the confrontation with Ouroboros he speaks directly to you the player and in fact his whole plan was born because of our world. He saw us as fellow gods but thought the world we lived in was a boring place, and assumed we felt the same thus why we mingled in this world. That their world is just a game to us and that we mingle in it, commit murder, and feign emotion to relieve our weariness. So he sought to reach our world and bring to it excitement and chaos, essentially it would be making our world like the game world. He was connecting all the worlds till they basically reached the end of the line where he finally be able to break into the celestial realm, aka he break the forth wall. His battle shows this off as well he starts off by mimicking the way we interact in the world by copy our party...and then literally mimicking our actions. While in the last part of the battle he yells behold the celestial realm and rips a tear into our world, at this time the 3DS camera turns on starts feeding what it sees into the game...though the camera is so god awful a lot of people don't even notice themselves appear. Anyway after all was said and done Tiz understood the truth himself and knew that we had only joined with him to help Airy's sister stop Ouroboros. With the worlds safe, Airy dead, and Ouroboros defeated there was no more reason for us to remain. So he didn't want to keep us anymore even though knowing releasing us would mean that he falls back into a coma basically dead. That's why he walks to the grave that had been erected for all people in Norende who had died. Releasing us was an act of thanks and his accepting that our job was done." -gamefaqs Hirokey123 www.gamefaqs.com/boards/729328-bravely-default/69318069

Was so long ago that I played BD! I'm so glad you made a recap, now I can go into Bravely Second not forgetting the plot haha

This is wonderfully amazing. Keep up the great work.

I love this game so much. Coming back to this to re-experience the story a little while a friend borrows my copy. Can't wait for Bravely Second later this month!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Playing this game on and off for years left me completely lost, but this was just perfect.

Wow did not expect a 3ds game to have this amazing story

I love it when a game advertises its next installment

This is good man. I bought the second game and needed a refresher on the first, since its been like 3 years since ive played. Thanks man. These games are awesome tho. The quality of life stuff in the fluid combat, like auto attacking for grinding and FAST FORWARDINGGG. Ive never liked grinding games, so this game makes it bearable. And of course any game with a class system is fun. Brings back FF Tactics memories.

Awesome video. Really wanted to know the story but i just couldn't get through the second half. Might go back and play it now though, those boss fights look awesome.

Yesterday was my birthday and today I finally bought myself a switch just in time to play bravely default 2, thank you kind sir for having the indepth summaries for me to watch before I load that bad boy into the switch

Now I will go and enjoy Bravely Second ;).

I had completely forgotten that bravely second is possible in bravely default and that the save person was green for that one time at the chasm

Best thing about this was plot twist that actually you are the bad guys.

you deserve more views!!!

2012? damn im old...

The creepiness factor of Airy is a great idea and plot twist, but I felt like the realization was too sudden. Ringabel starting to ask questions is something they should have fleshed out more over those repetitive last chapters, because it would have given those gameplay stretches more of a purpose. They just briefly hesitate with the possibility that she's evil, realize it, and the plot quickly turns from there. Imagine the world becoming MUCH more dark and twisted with each loop, the party starts pointing fingers at who is at fault because of increasing pressure, then they finally corner Airy in a way that ties back into why this group is friends to begin with. Persona 4 style. Make uncovering the mystery be more organic instead of just a series of obvious amnesiac flashbacks. It sells everything that it is short. The Airy thing feels like a missed opportunity in some ways. It could have been much more unsettling if they had dropped hints more subtly.

Thank you for this recap! It's been a while since I finished Bravely Default so this was a good reminder of the story so I can understand whats going on in Bravely Second better when I start playing it tomorrow

so few likes, but my dude you are doing the gods' work lol. I can't believe I've forgotten how good this game was. (I'm prepping for BD2)

Hope to see the second game recapped too. Though I saw Chrono Trigger in your list last time I checked here too, but it seems no longer there. Oh, and is Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis in your list too?^_^ Either way, love these 'what happened' videos.^^

Say that again, I didn't hear you talking about the entire plot.

Man this story is just all over the place. Confusing at times, but I still love this game! Thanks for making this video!

I came across Bravely Second for $25 but hadn't played Default, thanks for this video

Thank you so much for this, it was extremely helpful great channel!

The entire 3rd run through I missed ALL of the story on my play through, god damn glad I'm watching this I missed so much story xD.

Nice work.

Nice work!! That story definitely got out of control fast, I like the parallels back to the Warriors of light from Final Fantasy very cool.

Great recap! A couple questions I have though: 1. How did Alternis/Ringabel come to this world? 2. If Ringabel is the Alternis from the previous world, how does the Alternis of the current world know Airy is evil? 3. Ringabel says that the Angel is the Agnes from his world. But the Sage says that Agnes appeared to him on the battlefield 1800 years ago. Does that mean that Ringabel is from 1800 years ago too? How does that work? 4. In the alternate ending where you break a crystal, the Angel brings the party back to life. How is this possible if she is just a normal Agnes from a previous world? I just finished Bravely Default last night and watched this in preparation of playing Bravely Second. Then I'll be prepare to play Bravely Default 2 when it comes out next month :)

Hey Oni Black Mage, are you gonna do a recapitation on Bravely Second ? It's already out in stores.

I must thank you my good sir I bought BD special edition when it first came out and BS special edition but i dont have the time to play the first since i have a big backlog of games watching this video made me feel very informed before playing the second thanks again

Great time to play Bravely Second now

Thanks for this ! Finally Bravely Second will release this friday and i'm so exited :D

Love ur videos! Please do more recapitations!!

Never played the first two games at all but I can see that the first game at least seems to have a lot more depth to its plot compare to 2

I am a bit confuse what the main characters did differently to beat Airys this time?

I kind of wish you at the very least mentioned the false ending. Aside from that issue, great video

5:47 Don't you mean, "if only by *bravely* default."? Hey I'm here all week folks, remember to tip your waitress!

It’s funny, I don’t remember beating Lord DeRosso but I ain’t complaining lol, he was really difficult if I remember correctly

Thank you

Ready for the sequel :)

Am I going crazy or didn't you do a video on "What happened in Bravely Second?" I mean I know it's been a year or two since Bravely Second but if anything are you gonna do one?

does that make the other ending(s) non-canon? its been a while since i've finished the game, but the other ending is where you deny the crystal, is there another besides this one and the one in the video?

You kind of skipped over the final stand in Eternia in the last world with all the bearers (wherin the heroes are acknowledged by Braev to be worthy to end the fight) and go over the 'false' ending. But as a condensed synopsis this was well done and covered all the major points of the story.

Wow! What an amazing storyline and plot. I don't mean to make fun of the seriousness of this game, but they're journey, or journeys if you will, would of been a lot easier if the DOCTOR was with them. XP You know because he's a Timelord and all. Otherwise I'm seriously considering buying this game.

I wish Bravely Default got a Switch port, the original was so good and Serpent Eating the Horizon is one of the best videogame final boss tracks ever.

I havent played this game in a while and I think I was honestly like. 9 when I played this game. Why did they go into the pillar though?

did Tiz die? To me it looked like he was still moving a little after the spirit left him.

The game pulled an Endless 8 on us

so, the characters on Bravely Second are not the same as the ones in Bravely Default? (because all go into different parallel universers) (i havent played bravely second so if it's responded there, i dont know it :o!)

But what about the secret ending? :O And will you do Bravely Second later on? :D

just wanna say thanks for saving me 100 hours of playing this game, i bought bravely second first so i'm all caught up and ready to understand lore!

and here I was thinking metal gear, kingdom hearts and ff 13 have a complicated story, this definetly beat them all

i like this but i kinda wish I knew about what happened in the other parts of the game that were optional :P

I will say this ringabell doesn't stay in the same world as the others he joins his original world and saves his friends now that he has the courage and fights and presumably beats airy but other than awesome video subscribed

LOL at bravely second, all old asterisk holders return excluding the chemist cause just like from ff5's alchemist, its an OP job with ridiculous combos.

Does it have a good story? If it does then I will try it.

Cool content. You should look into covering Ni no Kuni! Keep up the great videos! :)

Finally someone remembers or knows final fantasy 4 warriors of light. I found it in a flea market and didnt know about it so I bought it and loved it.

Thank you for this video! I got to chapter 5 and saw some forums saying that you have to beat the temple bosses 4 more times... yeah, that's not fucking happening... so I stop playing the game right there . 2 years later I decided to see what happens at the end of this game.

So did tiz die,was he possessed by a celestial spirit or what.im confused

I'm confused, in chapter 5/6 the group speaks as if they know they're in different worlds, yet when they relight the crystals, they speak as if they have been in the same world ? Is that suppose to be interpret as the player not knowing about "Multiverse" or what ?

Bravely Default: Where the Airy Li- *cough cough* Where the *Fairy Flies*

You forgot to mention the alternate ending to this game as it has two

That is a unique way to pronounce the name Agnes.

There's just one thing I don't understand. What caused the crystals' corrupted state in the first place? And what would have happened if they had never been awakened?

So for the 'flying fairy' variant of the subtitle the clue would be 'lying airy'(which in my opinion is a lot better at potraying the clue since you just have to take out the intials of final fantasy rather than take out whole words)

You can now summon Deus Ex Machina!

Just what i needed right before i left to buy Bravey second

Song?

Do Bravely Second soon!

26:48 why does tiz look like a Onion Knight?

And here I am, currently at chapter 5 after stopping years ago for some reason... Well I’m back to finish the job, thanks for the recap.

I loved every second of this game it took me 84 hours to collect everything and beat both endings and it was time very well spent.

I feel like this summary tells the story in a more impactful way than the game itself...

knight heinkel is a winkel

Thanks, now ready for playing bravely second... Finally

this soundtrack

just in time considering the sequel releases tomorrow on eshop. aaaand today i'll play the demo which is available on the eshop in EU regions ( no idea if it's on the US eshop or not. )
