About

Bravely Default (2013) is a turn-based strategy RPG that stands out for its innovative Brave and Default battle system, allowing players to strategically manage turns and actions in combat. You play as Tiz, a shepherd survivor who joins companions on a quest to restore balance to a world in crisis. The combination of deep tactical gameplay and traditional RPG storytelling has made it a notable entry in the genre.

This game is highly accessible on modern PCs, requiring only entry-level GPU hardware with a benchmark score around 6138 to run smoothly. With 8 GB RAM and modest CPU requirements, you can expect solid FPS performance even on budget gaming setups across various graphics settings. It's far from demanding by today's standards, making it ideal for older systems or laptops that struggle with contemporary AAA titles.

With a respectable 74/100 rating, Bravely Default delivers engaging tactical gameplay for fans of strategy-driven RPGs. If you enjoy turn-based combat with meaningful strategic depth, this is worth experiencing, especially given how efficiently it runs on affordable hardware.

Performance profile

Released in December 2013, Bravely Default sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.

As a strategy title, Bravely Default is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.

Mid-range territory. An RTX 3060 or RX 6700 XT delivers 60 FPS at 1080p High in Bravely Default. For 1440p Ultra you'll want an RTX 4060 Ti / RX 7700 XT; 4K Ultra needs an RTX 4070 Ti or faster.
