One of the big changes of Bravely Default II’s score is the introduction of theme variations unlike the first game, where there was one normal overworld theme, one asterisk (a unique type of boss) theme, one crystal theme, and so on, Bravely Default II has variations of each of the normal themes to match different areas.

There’s a few extra lines of melody and accompaniment that I enjoyed, but for the most part, it’s not too different from the original. It’s a lovely rendition of a theme that’s already pretty strong, and segues nicely into “A Crystal’s Radiance and Wind’s Revelation”, a slightly amped up version of the crystal theme from the first game.

Over the course of the track, other instruments are slowly added until it becomes a full orchestra, and it finally dies down again at the loop back into guitar. The soundtrack starts with “Another Overture to Hope,” a soft acoustic guitar version of what has become the series’ main theme. How does the sequel measure up? Bodyīefore I start, I want to mention that while I usually prefer to avoid comparisons in my reviews, I am going to be drawing a lot of parallels from this soundtrack to the original Bravely Default score, not just because this soundtrack is a direct sequel, but because the music itself seems to have been written with an awareness of its legacy, and invite those comparisons.

Bravely Default II marked Revo’s return to the games since his original soundtrack, which has been a phenomenal success since it’s release, and marked several new trends in JRPG scores. Square Enix’s recent foray into modernized retro JRPGs has left us with a new line of great soundtracks, starting with Revo’s original score to Bravely Default and ending most recently with Akira Senju’s work on the upcoming Project Triangle Strategy demo game (official title TBA).
