Surprisingly affordable? It’s lower than expected, though the physical copy is a “game-key card” rather than a full game disc, as explained below.

Note: This is a Game-Key Card

Some Nintendo Switch 2 titles are fully stored on cartridges, but others, like this one, use game-key cards. These physical cards resemble Switch 2 cartridges but require you to download the 11GB game from the eShop after insertion.

You can still share the game by lending the card to a friend or sell it, but playing requires inserting the game-key card into your Switch 2.

What is Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster?

Originally released on the 3DS, Bravely Default offered a classic RPG experience with turn-based combat and a story centered on four heroes seeking elemental crystals. Its standout feature is a combat system allowing players to bank turns for multiple actions in one go, paired with a versatile job system for customizing character abilities.

This HD remaster retains those core elements while adding enhancements. Players can now fast-forward through battles and cutscenes, adjust enemy encounter rates, and enjoy an online mode plus new minigames.
