As we revealed earlier this week, the Bravely Second: End Layer demo – Bravely Second: The Ballad of the Three Cavaliers – will featureten hours of unique, free content that will also be transferrable to the full version of the game should you choose to buy it. That alone is an extremely generous gesture by Square Enix, but as if that wasn't enough, there's a little something extra to further sweeten the deal.
Nintendo of Europe just announced on Twitter that downloading the demo will now net you a ten percent discount on the full version of Bravely Second, which is also now available on the eShop. Considering that it literally costs nothing to download the demo, this seems like a no-brainer for anyone who is willing to choose digital over physical. Make sure you do it soon, though, as the discount is over after 10th March. Here's the tweet:

Now that's a sweet deal!
Man they really know how to sweeten the pot.
One can only hope for this demo in NA...
If only this worked for Physical. I don't want to download any titles (except exclusive E-shop titles) until Nintendo fixes their ID system.
I'm going to download the demo and then get 0% off the limited edition.
I agree with you firechicken98, it is kinda annoying to have to wait for a pretty hyped game. We should at least get it at the same time as Europe.
Cool, free game AND a discount.
@JaxonH I'm going to guess demo yes, discount no.
@ikki5 more downlaods form me then... has only 5 retail titles download to 3DS... oh wops.
I get physical cheeper @launch with best buy any way...
@rjejr
Eh, discount doesn't interest me tbh. I buy physical and have 3 of the limited editions on lock. Well, I take that back. I've been investing in a small digital library of all my faves on my faceplates 3DS (which I use on the go) so I can always have a great game without the need for carrying cartridges.
That discount may have been enough to sway me to snag a digital copy for that system too. Then again, it's only $4. I'll grab it digitally in a sale if I ever go that route.
A ten hour demo and 10% off! This is a great deal that needs to come to NA!
@JaxonH Nobody gets their money's worth out of a 3DS like you do, MH, Fire Emblem, I don't even see when you'll get to play this. I hope you get MHX before the NX supplants the 3DS, would seem a most fitting ending for your little buddy.
@rjejr
I hope we get MHX, period. That would truly be a fitting send-off, without a doubt. If not, the triple whammy of Bravely Second, Dragon Quest 7 and Dragon Quest 8, after the triple whammy of Fates (Birthright, Conquest and Revelation) would be... satisfactory.
Still, nothing says goodbuy like 500 hours of hunting monsters. Nothing.
I doubt NOA will do this kind of deal
That's cool, I'll rather have the physical copy though.
The demo was AWESOME though, raised my hype for the game tenfold. I'm not even mad anymore that we have to wait for FE: Fates.
Or, y'know, I could just buy it on Amazon for 20% off since I have Prime.
@Yoshi Which isn't an option for everyone in Europe.
Excellent, hope this offered applies to NA too.
You know, usually I am a bit angry when they pull the "get demo and get the eShop version of the game cheaper" (also I do realize that doing something similar for retail purchases would be a tad complicated) but considering that I pre-ordered myself the CE, I am happy as is.
@ikki5
Completely agree. I have a few eshop games but I try not to buy many because I disapprove of them being tied down.
@AyeHaley Which is why I said "I could" instead of "everyone could".
@MHXAlatreon we do even not have a release date for fire emblem so just wait as all Europeans are doing.
10% off an already inflated price is only a small gesture when a physical copy is at least 12% less expensive anyway.
At lease the demo will give us a chance to test the water first.
As always, even with the discount it's significantly cheaper to get a physical copy. £36 with this discount but I have it pre-ordered at TGC for £26. This is something they need to look at.
Bravely Default was a great game. This one looks to be shaping up as a great sequel.
NA never gets discounts like this. Nice to have Prime/GCU.
Guys! US has FE Fates coming out in February, and Europe has Bravely Second coming out in February too! This is why we (the US) aren't getting the demo now, and Fire Emblem hasn't had a release date revealed for Europe yet!
I am not trying to go around angry at small things but, I am a little annoyed at nintendolife for no putting EU on the title cause I got so excited that I can get the demo. I guess I will be a bit more hyped when i get my game, and play it (after playing the demo which is how demos should be)
I hope is unlimited for North America
I'd gladly give you Bravely Second if we could have FE in Europe sooner
Surprisingly, I didn't enjoy Bravely Default. So I have no interest in this game. But I'd love that deal for Fire Emblem Fates
Huh...just downloaded it last night. Who new...
