|image            = [[File:Bravely Default logo.png|250px|class=invert]]

'''''Bravely Default''''' ({{ja|ブレイブリーデフォルト|Bureiburī Deforuto}}, ''Bravely Default'') is a series of role-playing games developed by {{iw|wikipedia|Silicon Studio}} and published by [[Square Enix]] in Japan, with [[Nintendo]] publishing in all other regions. Originally conceived as a sequel to ''{{s|wikipedia|Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light}}'', the connections to the {{uv|Final Fantasy}} franchise were eventually dropped in favor of original characters and settings. Battles are turn based, with the unique twist of being able to brave or default every turn. Brave Points (BP) must be spent to attack, or "Brave" enemies, and more available BP means more chances to attack. The player can even go into negative BP, but are then unable to perform any action until the BP balance reaches 0 again. BP will restore naturally, or the player can choose to "Default," which reduces damage taken and replenishes BP quicker. The games also utilize a job system where players battle the holders of Asterisks for each job in order to be able to use those jobs for themselves, thereby granting their characters special abilities in battle.

On February 23, 2021, it was announced that spirits from ''Bravely Default II'', the third game in the series, would be added to the Spirit Board in a Spirit Board event simply titled [[BRAVELY DEFAULT II]] on February 26 as a tie-in to the game's release. All four protagonists are available in pairs: Seth & Gloria and Elvis & Adelle.
