Nintendo Switch 2: Surprise Patch Boosts One of the Console’s Best Games
Square Enix rolls out a new patch for one of the Nintendo Switch 2’s standout launch titles, improving stability, tutorials, and player experience.
A Welcome Update for a Beloved RPG on Nintendo Switch 2
Square Enix continues to polish Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster, one of the first RPGs released on the Nintendo Switch 2 and a fan-favorite of the console’s early lineup. The studio has just launched update 1.0.2, available now, which brings several useful tweaks and fixes.
While not a massive overhaul, this update delivers meaningful improvements that enhance the gameplay experience for returning players.The patch notably resolves one of the most frustrating issues at launch: connection dropouts. Players should now experience stable online connectivity during loading screens or after waking the console from sleep mode.
Square Enix also added a clear “Communication in progress” message during network checks and a connection test option within the settings menu—perfect for troubleshooting without leaving the game. An update in time to celebrate the 13 years of the series.
✨ Celebrating 13 years of BRAVELY! ✨
This year, we were able to release Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster. Thank you very much for your support! This project was originally inspired by the 10th anniversary broadcast, and I’ve been thinking it might be nice to do another… pic.twitter.com/nfPePVpLJL — Square Enix (@SquareEnix) October 10, 2025
Balance Adjustments and Quality-of-Life Improvements
Beyond the technical fixes, the developers have refined game balance. The number of exchange tokens required in the in-game shop has been lowered, making rewards easier to obtain. Additionally, the trophy “9,999” now unlocks correctly when players deal that exact amount of damage to Orthros—a small but satisfying correction for completionists.
These updates, though minor on paper, significantly improve the pacing and accessibility of the game, allowing players to enjoy the remaster’s strategic combat and nostalgic storytelling without unnecessary grind.

Clearer, Friendlier Tutorials for New Players
That’s not all for Nintendo Switch 2 players. The patch also enhances tutorials, addressing long-standing complaints about unclear instructions. Job tutorials now include explicit “press and hold” prompts, while the Luxencheer Rhythm Catch mini-game introduces an early tutorial to guide players through its rhythm-based mechanics.
The update also bundles several minor bug fixes that improve overall fluidity and stability. Since its release in June 2025, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster has successfully modernized the 3DS classic with HD visuals, motion-enhanced mini-games via the new Joy-Con 2 “mouse mode”, and a timeless aesthetic that still shines today.
In Conclusion
Square Enix’s continued attention to detail ensures that Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster remains one of the strongest RPG offerings on the Nintendo Switch 2. These updates might not redefine the experience, but they certainly make it smoother, fairer, and more enjoyable for both newcomers and veterans.
