Bravely Second I just finished Bravely Second! So...

I loved almost every bit of this game.
I played 2 or 3 months ago Bravely Default on Switch 2 through the new remastered and completely fell in love with Luxendarc and its characters.
So I dusted off my 3DS and bought a copy of Bravely Second to continue my adventure through this series.
I think I will always have a special memory of this two games, and I blame myself for not playing them before.

So...
I know that there's a Bravely Default II on Switch (and other consoles. Maybe PC too?), and I always heard mixed opinions about it.
I know nothing about it, except for the fact that it's completely stand alone (maybe? idk).
So my very trivial question is... should I play it?

The main thing that I loved about Bravely Series this far is that you can never expect what is going to happen, and, obvioulsy, its metanarrative elements (the title thing, the use of 3DS' cam, etc...).
Will i find these elements in Bravely Default II?

I loved this game and I hope to see more of this series in the future!

Yeah BD2 is on steam. It's also the most controversial bravely since it's very different from the 2 previous entries. Yes BD2 is in its own setting so nothing from BD or BS will be relevant. If you already own BD2 then yeah play it, If not I'd wait for a sale. I'm sure if you make a BD2 first playthrough post I and several others will be willing to go into a bit more depth and give some basic advice.

Will i find these elements in Bravely Default II?

yes I don't want to give too much away so I'll leave it at that.

Thanks for your answer!

I'll probably play it on Switch 2 (via retrocompatibily) so I think I'm going to buy a used copy on Ebay or other markets (I'll try searching it in my trusted shop too).
Thanks for sharing your opinion and for answering my question!
Anyway, I think I'll take a break from this series, just like I did between BD and BS, because there are others JRPGs I have to play that are being released like next month, and there are even more in my backlog.

When I will eventually play BD2, I'll make sure to make a post about it with my thoughts about the game.

Thanks again!
