With the upcoming HD Remaster of Bravely Default, wanted to boost the BD Community! Right now it’s private (because it’s not possible to switch community privacy just yet…) but you can join via this invite if you’re interested!
okay but now that Bravely Default is getting a remaster and will also hopefully get more fan content, I really want AO3 to shop shoving Bravely Default 1 and Bravely Default II under the same umbrella as “close enough” when the games aren’t related at all. 😭

Happy 4 Years to Bravely Default II!

Hey everyone!
This post is about the AO3 Bravely Default fandom tag. For years, the tag has been “Bravely Default (Video Game) & Related Fandoms”.
When Bravely Default II released, several works were tagged with “Bravely Default II”, as the work was only about the BDII characters/setting. However, if you click on the tag for “Bravely Default II”, it takes you back to the “Related Fandoms ” one.
I’ve put in a support ticket asking if Bravely Default II can be its own, separate tag, due to the different setting and characters with nothing shared except the very basics of the combat system, and the response I’ve gotten is that the series is connected enough that it’ll remain the way it is.
Meanwhile, Octopath Traveler and Octopath Traveler II are different fandom tags that aren’t connected, despite the setting in those two games being arguably more connected than Bravely Default II is to the other main BD games thanks to the shared gods. (Final Fantasy games are also disconnected, even though BD is literally a FF offshoot.)
To me, this just doesn’t make sense, and it’s not consistent treatment, even if Bravely is a much smaller fandom than Octopath.
All this to say that if you, like me, feel that the Bravely Default II tag needs to separated from the Bravely Default and Related Fandoms tag, please put in a support ticket politely requesting that this change take place! Maybe if enough people take noise, they’ll finally listen to the fans.
ALTHappy 12th birthday, Bravely Default!
