Bravely Second is rapidly approaching release in Japan, the long-awaiting sequel to the 3DS Square Enix RPG; due to the success of that first title localisation does seem like a reasonable bet.
A relatively popular part of the first title was management of the town Norende - through StreetPass and uploading data over WiFi - which you'd build up from scratch. Bravely Second brings the same idea back, although this time it is set within the protagonist Magnolia's hometown, situated on the moon.
Similarly to Bravely Default, you will be able to send and receive enemies to and from fellow players - Demon Kings will invade your base and you fight them in order to obtain rare rewards.
Important base weapons for lowering the levels and difficulties of the Demon Kings are Busterships; a single shot from a Bustership will be allowed at a time, however friends can provide additional Busterships to help you with your cause. You can now even level up your Busterships to help decrease the level of the Demon further, as well as decreasing the required cooling down time between shots.
Bravely Second will be released in Japan on April 23rd, 2015; are you hoping this'll come to the West later in 2015?

I still need to play my copy of Bravely Default before I even think of playing the 2nd one. Darn you, backlog!
Well, that's nice and all, but if the second half of the game is once more just 90% padding and content recycling (in it's most extreme form), I'll pass.
Enjoying one half of a game is just not enough these days ...
I'm another one who got burned out on this game by the end of Chapter 4. Bravely Second will have to have a sweet collector's edition for me to buy it.
I'll get this even though I still haven't beat the first one. I would like continued support like this for the 3ds and any future handheld Nintendo system or otherwise.
Also, it took so long for the first game to come out to the west I doubt we will see it this year. Let's just hope we don't have to wait for some complete version this time!
Considering that Bravely Default's success in the West single-handedly caused the CEO of Square Enix to reevaluate the company's policies on localization, I have absolutely no doubt that Bravely Default will be out in NA/EU within in a year.
I cant wait! yes, damn you (grounhogdayism) bravely default -but I loved it anyways. bring it Bravely Second. lets just hope the groundhog saw his shadow if you know what I mean....................
I got burned really badly for the collector's edition when BD first came out because I didn't pre-order early enough (misjudged the demand). Gonna be sure to pre-order ASAP this time around.
Really enjoyed the first one, looking forward t ok this release. Now if only Square would make a proper remake to ff7 with the lessons learn from BD. FF7 with fast forward through battles and encounter rate changes would be sweet.
Ooo yes!
I still don't get the love for FF7 when FF6 was the superior game that is more deserving of a remake.
On that note, I loved Bravely Default and look forward to the next title. I just hope I don't have to wait till the end of this year to play it.
I had plenty of fun rebuilding Norende in Bravely Default, so I can't wait to rebuild Magnolia's hometown.
Last I tried playing I was dealing 16 dmg attack to a thief boss who had 5k hp. I see grinding in the future.
I think I'm going to pass this time. I did like the first game and halfway through the game would have said it was the best RPG on 3DS. Then the end sequence came. I don't know if they ran out of ideas or didn't want to add to the storyline which was great up until that point. Plus I just have to many backlogged games
Yeah I'll play it for sure! I was lucky enough to get the collectors edition before, and I hope I can do it again. There had BETTER be a sweet figurine with this collectors edition though, (even though the Japanese one from the first game looked like crap).
Art books are great too though. Can't say I don't like them, because then I would be lying.
I hope that Edea is in the new game, she was the bomb. I had her with the valkeryie job, with sword magic as her secondary, and she was pretty BA.
She is in the new game, as the new leader of the place she's from. Agnes is as well.
And from the video teaser in Bravely Default, we would assume Tiz is as well.
That just leaves out poor Ringabel, who was basically a walking plot hole in the first game. Which is sad, because I really liked him.
Need to beat the first one, my game save got lost in the transfer to my MM N3DS. Sucks because I was pretty far into the story, actually. Oh well, c'est la vie.
Ugh, waiting for April 23rd is tough... Got the Collector's Edition and the Magnolia statue preordered... Ah well, back to Majora's Mask and Monster Hunter
Ringabell is the only reason why I kept playing Bravely Default. He was the only character that was remotely interesting and wasn't a a generic anime character with generic anime cliches. Not to mention the around grindy gameplay. If not he's in this I'll happily pass.
This is my most anticipated game for the 3ds. I hope squarenix utilizes some of the extra 'oomph' the new 3ds has.
@IronMan28 That happened to me as well, only I had beaten the true final boss, & was working through a new game plus.
This better get released over here in NA. This is all I'm looking forward to.
to be honest, i hope this stays in japan. i really dont like the first one, and if the second one is the same concept of making the same whateer over and over again, i just say i'll pass
Please do not hate on this instance classic by SquareEnix. Even though they suck at localazation, have sold out to mobile phones (DQ8 really) and have forsaken us with no Dragon Quest 10 or 7. Oh poop. I'm totally hating on SquareEnix now, but I won't when this comes out if this comes out here.
I logged over 60 hours into Bravely Default and still didn't beat it. Kind of wish it was a little bit shorter. Around 40 hours is my happy medium for RPG games.
@firstnesfan FF6 is the one that needs modern day treatment. No screwing with mechanics though.
FF7 has a movie, spin-offs galore, Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts, and on and on. Let it go, it's not that amazing.
@MideonNViscera
THANK YOU!
I don't get why everyone pounds off to FF7 so much. Is it because it was the first game to go "3d" ? Is it because it was the first game to have localized swearing? Because a main character died?
FF IV basically slaughtered its whole cast. FF6 had Kefka, who actually succeeded at his goal. Sephiroth didn't do anything, his clones did.
Each FF game prior to FF V has been remade at some point, a few of them multiple times. We are overdue for a FF6 remake, as it was literally the best FF game to date.
@SupremeAllah It was definitely the first RPG most people played, and since they were kids it probably seemed super adult. I HATED it when it first came out because it ditched the fantasy setting, but nowadays it may make my top 5.
Nonetheless, it's been done to death and doesn't need to be released again in any fashion.
I was fairly long into my game when i made the switch over to the N3DS and lost all my saves. Time to rebuild the town again.
