Priced at a surprising $39.99, this remaster offers great value. It's worth noting, however, that the physical copy comes as a "game-key card," which is different from a traditional game cartridge. More on that in the next section.

Note: This is a Game-Key Card

Some games for the Nintendo Switch 2, including *Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster*, come as game-key cards. These cards resemble Switch 2 cartridges but don't contain the actual game data. Instead, you'll need to insert the card into your Switch 2 to download the 11GB game from the eShop. Despite this, you can still lend the physical card to a friend or sell it, but to play the game, you must insert the game-key card into your console.

What is Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster?

Originally released on the 3DS, *Bravely Default* was a nostalgic RPG with turn-based combat and a classic quest for four crystals. Its unique selling point was the innovative combat system, which allowed players to store turns and execute multiple actions at once. The game also featured a deep job system, enabling you to assign various abilities to your party members.

The HD remaster retains all these beloved elements while introducing new features. Alongside fast-forwarding battles, you can now skip through cut scenes. You can still adjust the encounter rate to control how often you face enemies, and the remaster includes an online mode and new minigames for added fun.
