The price is surprisingly affordable at $39.99, especially considering the enhancements. However, note that the physical copy comes as a "game-key card," which requires further explanation below.

Note: This is a Game-Key Card

Some Nintendo Switch 2 games come on cards with the full game data, but Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster uses a game-key card. This card resembles a Switch 2 cartridge but does not contain the game itself. Instead, you'll need to insert the card into your Switch 2 to download the 11GB game from the eShop. You can still lend or sell the physical card to others, but they will need to download the game to play.

What is Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster?

Play

Originally released on the 3DS, Bravely Default offers a nostalgic RPG experience with turn-based combat and a quest centered around finding four crystals. The game's standout feature is its innovative combat system, allowing players to save turns for multiple actions at once. Additionally, its deep job system lets you customize your party members with various abilities.

This HD remaster retains all these beloved elements and adds new features, including fast-forwarding through battles and cut scenes, adjustable encounter rates, an online mode, and fresh minigames.
