If the wait for Bravely Second is just becoming too much then take a look at the Japanese trailer below to get your daily dose.
Square Enix have been drip-feeding its fan base with tantalising titbits over the last few months including Bravely Second screenshots and art work, additional information on Edea Lee's return, the "Undo" button, new job roles such as a Pastry Chef or exorcist, a recently updated demo version and now the icing on the cake: a brand new trailer, released at last weekend's Tokaigi 2015 event in Japan.
For those of you who haven't heard, Bravely Second takes place in the same universe as Bravely Default, occurring several years after the events of the first game. The narrative's main focus is based around a brand new character, Magnolia Arch. Magnolia hails from the World's Moon and is destined to avenge her forefathers after an attack from a demon left her the last of her kind.
Although Bravely Second will be released in Japan 23rd April, 2015 we are still yet to hear of a release date for other regions.

Maybe they will actually put some content into the game this time.
Trailer looks amazing! I hope there will be enough time between this and xenoblade to finish one game without jumping to the other
I bought Bravely Default about a month ago and have played it for 60 hours. It's a really good game with awesome music, voice acting, characters and visuals (best 3D usage on 3DS) but there's one big flaw with the game. It makes you repeat things you did... twice... I didn't mind the first time because I liked all the boss fights (and most of them are optional) but making me go through the same journey again... I just say I haven't played it for a while now even though I think it's a really good game otherwise. That said I'm getting Bravely Second at launch.
This game better come state-side, it's not complete if we got one but not the other.
@Late
A J-RPG where you have to do the same thing more than once?? That's unheard of!
Jokes aside, it really destroys an otherwise near perfect game. The first 30 hours or so were so good, but at the end it became a grind, a grind the game's mechanics so actively seek to avoid.
Still it left me with a good feeling in the end, because for the first time in years it seems SE actually gets what they've been doing wrong the last years, but also what they were doing right before.
I eagerly wait for the subtitled trailer!
@Late I assume you haven't finished the game, because they make you do the same thing five times not just twice, and it is really annoying.
Even with the annoying second half, BD is still the best Final Fantasy-esque Squeenix game to come out since the PS1. Not excited about the downgraded music, but if this comes over I'll still check it out.
That's...Edea, in the blue, right?! If not then they've totally done a copy and paste job on her character model. She even has the same hat and sword. Also, that looks suspiciously like Airy, though it could just be another Cryst Fairy.
@King47: Well that's just perfect... I should probably skip all the optional rematches and focus on the story related crystal monsters. I can't understand how they messed otherwise perfect game.
I really hope your party doesn't remain 3 guys and 1 girl. One of the things that made Bravely Default entertaining was the interaction between your party members and other characters, which was made more interesting because of your parties 2 male and 2 female members which created more dynamic conversation and interation.
@Late: Tbh, I thought just Ch. 5 and 6 were bad. They should've just gotten rid of both chapters imo. Ch. 7 and 8 were really good because of the difficult boss battles.
sdw4527: I'm still on Chapter 6 so I don't have a final opinion yet. It might get a bit better but it's still weird that they thought rehashing same things for multiple times was a good idea.
@Late
It made me do it 5 times over.
@TossedLlama
The biggest Jrpg party size I can recall is suikoden's 6. How many is golden sun
That trailer was pretty awesome! I am currently playing through Bravely Default and I am absolutely loving every second of it. Fifty hours in and I have at least a couple chapters to go. Good times!
Going to be a while before this comes over to the west, but I'm totally looking forward to it. I love BD even with the issues it had. Pretty sure this' ll be even better!
@sdw4527 Yeah was going to mention them alongside the end sequence. Its the middle that could have been changed with some new areas and bosses. It would have really made the difference. I can't wait for this game as hopefully that one major gripe can be fixed this time around by at least making sure every chapter has something new to offer.
Hyped! Just hoping it will come state side before the end of the year. I'm sure it will come eventually since BD did so well over here.
@Baker1000 That's not Airy.
@TossedLlama In a way though it is an 8 member party in GS2. You don't have to stick with one of each clan plus when your main 4 get wiped out the other 4 step in for back up. I'm sure you're aware how important this back up party becomes in taking down the final boss.
I haven't played it yet- so what do people mean when they say it makes you play the game twice? I don't get it
@TossedLlama @TossedLlama
They mean fighting every boss multiple times over and over.
And they force you to mash the x button over 1000 times
8 party Gameplay would consist of brace point spamming the entire time.
There any RPGs that let you play more than 6 at any time?
