Bravely Default is probably one of the weirdest jrpg names I've seen, after Infinite Undiscovery

@Felthry it actually makes sense if you consider the battle system

in that you can default your turns to acquire extras

but it's dangerous cuz then you're taking multiple turns of attacks from enemies. so it's a brave thing to do. ie. you "Bravely Default"

@vahnj well, defaulting also gives you a defensive boost, so in the end it's a more sensible thing to do than the alternative (rather than attacking spread out over four turns and taking full damage, you can do four attacks in one turn and take half damage on the other three)

@vahnj Also naming a game after its battle system is a bit unusual, you have to admit!
