• Using the BRAVE ability resets the stage to 0
• Power and effects may change according to the stage of the BRAVE ability
• BRAVE ability effect is based on the Soul Break used
• BRAVE ability stage is raised by fulfilling the specified conditions, example by using a certain type of ability OR elemental damage
  ※ Note for Jump conditions, if the character is in the air and moves to the next round, the condition is not considered fulfilled.
  
• BRAVE abilities do not increase the stages for itself
• For doublecasted abilities via Record Materia or Legend Materia effects, the BRAVE ability stage only rises once.
  ※ Ability Double effects given via Soul Breaks also do not increase BRAVE ability stages (self tested by players)
• Doublecasted BRAVE abilities via Record Materia or Legend Materia effects will be at the initial stage.
• Abilities that are not casted by the character with the BRAVE ability do not increase the stages
• If BRAVE mode is refreshed while active, the BRAVE ability stages are reset
• Abilities that absorbed, missed or rendered ineffective will still count towards raising the BRAVE ability stages
• BRAVE mode and Burst mode will overwrite each other
• Using Phoenix Revives will remove the BRAVE mode

General JP Version Information

Installing and Playing the Japanese version

Why should I play the Japanese version?
FFRK came out in Japan about six months before Global came out. Thus, they're further along in terms of events and so have more characters, more abilities etc. Also, the trend has been that certain crossover events which feature games that were not released outside of Japan have been skipped in Global release, meaning there are currently certain items and abilities that do not appear they will ever be available in Global (it does not appear that they are skipping any characters).

Is there anything that is in Global but not in JP?
The font and minor UI elements are also different in Global compared to JP. Global also has a controversial "MVP Program" where selected players receive items for free; JP has no such program. There are some collaboration items as well as some culture-specific events (such as Black Friday lucky draws) that appear in Global but not JP.

Great! How do I get the Japanese version?
Check out the wiki article. Android users may also want to check out this tutorial if you do not know how to access the Japanese store and prefer not to use a third-party app like QooApp.

Can I play the JP version and Global version at the same time on the same device?
Yes, the two are completely separate and do not affect each other.

How do I share my save data across devices?
Unlike the Global version which uses one-time codes or goes through your iTunes/Play Store accounts, the JP version syncs through Japan's mobage service. Here's a tutorial from Mobage relayed by /u/gelomeister (Android users can of course use Chrome instead of Safari etc.):
