This price point might seem surprisingly affordable, especially since the physical copy includes a game-key card rather than the game itself on the disc. Let’s dive deeper into what this means.

Note: This is a Game-Key Card

Unlike traditional games, this title comes on a physical card that functions as a key to the digital game data. Once inserted into your Nintendo Switch 2, you’ll need to download the 11GB game from the eShop.

While you can lend or sell the physical card, playing the game requires downloading the content via the eShop.

What is Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster?

When it originally released on the 3DS, Bravely Default stood out as a nostalgic throwback RPG, featuring turn-based combat and a quest centered around four crystals. Its standout feature was a unique combat system allowing players to store turns for strategic multi-action bursts. Additionally, it offered a deep job system enabling flexible party customization.

These core elements remain intact in the HD remaster, now enhanced with new features such as the ability to speed through battles and cutscenes, adjustable encounter rates, an online mode, and fresh minigames.
