Topic: Bravely Default II (Nintendo Switch)

@Grumblevolcano sadface. Really waiting on a new turn based rpg on the switch. Especially before June since I have some travel plans.

Afraid not, @komodo182 .... Hopefully, they'll announce a date soon!

The Mini Direct of today confirmed that you can combine jobs and that its demo arrives today. Looks really nice. Check it out on YouTube.

Square Enix absolutely knocking it out the park with the visuals. This is one of the best-looking games on the Switch. Look at this insane artwork. Why have no other devs thought to incorporate this kinda stuff into games? It looks so good:

Downloading demo now!!

@Dezzy I'm downloading it too

The demo is great! Sure, you can tell it's not a finished game, there are some blemishes, but overall I'm impressed. The bravely/default system is as clever as usual. The graphics are gorgeous. The music is grand. Hopefully the story will be good as well.

@Quarth can't wait for it to download.

@komodo182 I think you'll enjoy it.

@Quarth I am sure I will. Loved the first two...or first and ...third? Not sure. First two released ones.

@komodo182 Confusing titles. 🤣 I’ve only played the first one and this seems to be an upgrade of that, with a new story and new characters. The demo is not part of the game’s main story though, at least that’s what I understand. The purpose of the demo is more to show the gameplay.

@Quarth still scratches that itch ( I imagine). I think quite a few must be downloading it or something since its a super slow download right now.

@komodo182 Sure does. The combat flows really fine. I like that you still can speed the battle animations up, but this time it looks so much smoother.

Hope you get to play it soon.

@Quarth I will let you know my thoughts. Did you finish it all? How long was it?

@komodo182 No, didn’t finish it. Wanna save some for tomorrow, now that I’m home being sick. Explored the town, experimented with jobs and equipment and finished a side quest, then I saved before going for the main one. One thing I can say is that the difficulty is quite high, but it’s on purpose, as they want you to try different job combinations.

@Quarth interesting

Anybody know if you can choose your main in the actual release, or are we forced to play as the generic male Seth character?

This was a Direct highlight for me. Sure, we don't have a release date, but more info is always nice. I'll be grabbing the demo later but probably won't play it until this weekend, I think. I wanna wait for the eShop traffic to become less insane. XD

@scoobdoo In the previous two games, you started with one "main" character (the male protagonist) but can shift the party order around when you get more members. So yes, you can technically play as one of the others.

I heard something really dark about Bravely Default 3DS before.
As i knew the game rated CERO C / Teen / PEGI 12, the CERO C was made me questioning what nasty contents inside the game.
I heard the game itself contains something like demonic worship, using the demons, somewhat disturbing violence even still rated Teen.
I didn't know exactly but please tell me if Bravely Default II will be safe to play considering the age rating i saw was E10+ to Rating Pending.

The demo is really hard. They've obviously made it so you can play it for quite a while by grinding in order to get up to the level where you can fight all of the enemies. Otherwise you just get slaughtered.

It's a party of four characters, so you're not really playing as any one of them. You could change which character was used as the main visual while exploring, in one of the previous BD games though, so there's a good chance you can here too.

@Anti-Matter

It's fine, it's incredibly mild. It's just like the earlier Final Fantasy games. FF1-FF5

Holy cr.... This demo is brutal! Those wasps almost one-shotted me... Guess I'll have to grind some.
