I loved how every character shared almost equal amounts of importance, if obviously the spotlight wasn't as even. Edea was clearly a focus character since she received the most development and had clear ties with a large amount of the cast. Almost every asterisk owner had something to say specifically to her. But that's mostly to do with the way the plot was structured and job system was structured. Agnes is literally the key that not only allows the plot to move forward due to her vestal status but also pretty much kickstarted the whole plot. Or at least one Agnes did. And Ringabel's performed a pivotal role in making sure the events at the end of the game happened the way they did, not accounting for the heavy amount of backstory he also holds. Tiz is the only character who was kind of replaceable. I love the little dude but he was mostly a victim of the circumstances and writing him out of the plot entirely would not be hard at all. Still, his role as a player avatar was very successful and you could argue that after Bravely Second he becomes the reason we can... Well, Bravely Second, so I guess that retroactively ties him a lot more to the plot.
mgrgrgr: the character Jokes aside Edea Lee is one of the best character of the series, and as you said, is the best "Bravely Default" representation, I still think Agnes is the main and the best character in the original game, but Edea is the most iconic face of the series
Personally I think Edea had the best character arch of the Luxe dark cast. In my mind alone that kind of gives here more weight to being closer to a main character. Overall though I agree with the other stuff you pointed out. Still though I don't think it's a stretch to say the bravely games are about group dynamics over individual characters.
Edea is my favorite character of BD, so I agree with everything here. Yes, Tiz and Yew are the main characters, but Edea is the protagonist in my heart. Here I am hoping for a third game with her as the lead, or at least a localization of brilliant lights...
She's pretty cool indeed. I DEFINITELY think she's the team's mascot. I think she had the least weight in Second as a whole, Yew kind of took everybody's backstory and stuff for himself, restricting Magnolia to 'love interest' and Tiz and Edea to 'did cool stuff in the past'. Heck, even in Brilliant Lights she's one of the first main characters to make an actual appearance in the main story (Janne taking the first spot with her right after).
Edea is the main character of the humanistic part of the story with the Dutchy and trying to forge her path outside of the will of her father. Tiz and Anges are the leads for the deeper metanarrative plot about the celestial and demon realms. And Ringabel is a force of nature, desperado that helps push their plots into motion.

thats real cool and all but I still wish they'd give us an actual followup to the luxendarc games that isn't a gacha game...
I just started playing this game 2 days ago and so to not spoil myself I'll save this for later
I do think Agnes is the main character but Edea’s character development is soo good
Honestly I always thought that Tiz and Edea were the two main characters.
I’d say Tiz and Yew are the protagonists, *But* Edea Lee is the main character.
As she should, EDEA STANS RISE!!!
Mrrrgrrrgrrr!
I dunno I just think she's a favorite of the creators. She and Ringabel (and D by extention) are the best characters.
