Just bought it and played for 2.4 hours. I loved the first Bravely Default game and this game turned out every bit of what I had hoped it to be!

What I loved so far:
Superb Music - as you expect from the same studio as Octopath Traveller, the soundtracks and background musics are very desirable! You'll love traversing the world with a good ambience
Battle System - so far very similar to the original bravely default which was unique to the series. I liked that a lot and I have been looking for games with similar ones (like Octopath, Saga Series which I haven't tried, etc)
Upgraded Graphics - its a real jump from the first game, of course this being a PC port and all
Enemy encounters - they removed the cumbersome part of the first game where random encounters were a pain specially on dungeons, you can now choose to evade them by running, or gain an upper hand by striking them with a sword

Speaking of swords, first 30mins in the game it triggered an OCD with me to clear all the grass cause it was giving away a lot of goodies lmao.

So far I love the game and will prolly play a hundred hours more :)

Wait, there's no random encounters?
Darn, i love the random encounters. They provide stable battles.
When enemies are visible on map... it creates two annoying situations for me. I either fight every enemy i see until i clear the map. (Or when they respawn quickly, i get into every fight on my way)... or i just evade every battle. In first case i fight way more than i would've with random battles. And when i evade every battle on my way i feel like i'm doing something wrong, as i skip battles.

I know people hate random encounters, but random battles work much better to my impulsive desire to kill every enemy i see than without random battles, which make hard to control myself...
