Where Are Bravely Default 2 Save Files Located?

Bravely Default 2 saves live in Documents\My Games\Bravely_Default_II under your Steam ID, config beside them.

Last updated

Bravely Default 2 nests saves one level deeper than most: a My Games folder, then a Steam folder, then your numeric user ID, then Saved. SaveGameData files inside map to the in game slots.

Config sits next to the saves under the same ID folder, so one parent copy captures settings too. Moving machines is a straight paste into the matching path, as long as the user ID folder name matches.
