Bravely Default is a great JRPG for many reasons. But one of the most influential was the iconic Brave and Default systems that it pioneered. While turn-based combat can be a bit dull, Bravely Default turns this bias around by giving you the choice to Brave or Default each party member every turn.
By default Your character will defend and save for one turn, and by Braving they will attack. This will allow you to attack continuously. Or save your moves so you can launch them all in one turn. It works incredibly well and ties in perfectly with the rest of the battle system. This creates a unique risk and reward system.
