The Bravely Default Twitter account is at it again. Following last year's tease in August hinting at upcoming games in the series, it's now officially confirmed a new game is in development:
According to Japanese Nintendo, there's no word on the platform or series. When it will arrive is also unknown. Given the fact this information is being posted on the Bravely Default Twitter account, it's fair to expect a related game announcement. Apart from this information, no other details were provided.
In September last year, Square Enix Producer Tomoya Asano was asked by weekly Famitsu magazine about future entries in the Bravely Default line and reassured fans the series would make a return. The primary goal is to not rush out a title every year and take time to make a game with the same volume as existing releases.
Are you eager to play another entry in the Bravely Default line? Or would you rather Square Enix released a follow-up to Octopath Traveler? Tell us below.

Bravely Default was great! Sadly, I haven’t played much of the sequel. It’s on my backlog though!
Would love to the series on the Switch!
1+2 remastered would be cool
Could be a new game or a collection of the 2 3ds games on the Switch. To me that's not new.
I saw 2019 and I was like "Aww, that's so far!"
Then I realized what year it was. The year that Metroid Prime 4 is coming out. (please?)
Square already has my money.
Yes bring in Bravely Third. I wouldn't mind if it also borrow some assets from Octopath Traveler as well.
Awesome news i have the first two games for 3DS, i hope this is a new game. If they remaster both games i will gladly double dip!
"A (new) job begins. Let's do our best!!! This year (we've) got a little bit of a different challenge but (we) think it'll be a good game. (We) hope many people will have fun!"
That's what the tweet says. If you were wondering. I'm assuming the "we" since it's from the game's account, rather than an individual's
My favorite 3ds series!!!
There's my motivation to get around to Bravely Second soon! The first game was excellent!
Well, maybe relating the “Brave” codename for the DLC datamined from Smash to the Bravely series was not that farfetched.
It’s still probably gonna be Erdrick, but heck would it be surprising if it were someone from Bravely instead!
I hope it's better than Bravely default, i was so disappointed in the end that i skipped Bravely second. Haven't finished Octopath traveler either.
Bravely Fourth hype. Also, I think it's funny that they said they are trying not to release one every year, since they said that they did want to in a previous interview.
I've regretted giving my copy away on the 3DS. now, i want to experience the original again before picking up Bravely Second and what seems to be a third installment coming.
Oh Bravely Default. A game I want to like, but abhor with every fiber in my being. How I wish I could look past the issues I have with the series to enjoy it.
I got the first game at launch and regretted my purchase. Found myself bored of it really quickly. My fault though, I should have known better after playing the demo.
Bravely Default is my favourite 3DS game because of the combat system, art and music. I know it's a bit repetitive on the back end but it's still a fantastic game. I would love, love, love to have a new one on Switch. Would be a day 1 purchase for me!
I found the first game to be a pretty soulless affair n the system was complicated for the sake of complexity n was pretty redundant. maybe my tastes have just changed? I loved every rpg back in the ps1 days (they weren't jrpg back then) but no longer seem to be able fixate my attention on them. I love my skyrim but jrpg's dont seem important anymore its like devs are just trying to capitalize on nostalgia n have mistaken complexity for innovation..
I really liked Bravely Default. Never made it far enough to the end of the game where you have to re-play sections though.
Liked the second one too.
A great series plagued by pacing issues. I played the first two. If the next one has the same issue, it's a pass.
I hope if there is Nintendo Direct this week, that the new BD game gets announced.
Hopefully it is closer to Default than Second. Second is a chore to play.
I played both and loved them (except the infamous repeating section in the first). I’d be happy for an HD collection but fingers crossed we get a sequel.
I didn't get to play it on 3ds but its artstyle is really inspired and inspiring so bravely third would be a great addition to the switch library I think.
Like the bravely series myself. Still if a 3rd game is in the works. It seems likely for switch so can the first two games get a port with enhanced graphics then
Oh boy! OH BOY!!
Bravely Default is one of those few series in which the sequel ia as good as or even better than the first game, which was already pretty good. Personally, I have this feeling sequels of good game try to capitalize on the previous success and end up being subpar. Bravely Second wasn't one of them, so I'm quite optmistic of Bravely "Third"
@Aozz101x Why would you give it away?...
I know the last part of the game everyone hated and I get why, but I feel like people still shouldn't bring down the rest of the game because of one flaw that was totally optional once you figured out what was going on. Bravely Second was a great sequel in its own right but I couldn't stand Yew. I tried to like him but his character annoyed me. It's definitely worth playing though and even improves upon the original with making jobs more balanced which I liked. Whether it's an updated port that I can play on the tv or a whole new game, doesn't matter to me. I'll take either or both.
Oh my god yes ! I've waited so long !
Loved the first one, hated the second one. I will wait for the review.
Never played Bravely Default, but the girl on the right doth look like a smaller Ha'anit from Octopath.
Would love a third in the series after that cliffhanger ending! Also wouldn't mind it being on 3DS, the 3D was amazing in both games.
Prices for Bravely default never went down until I lost interest. A HD remaster for the Switch would interest me though.
I finished the first one, grinded all characters and such. The first half of the game was fantastic but the repeatitiveness of the second half did kinda make it a bit boring. I have yet to play End Layer even tho I have it on my shelf (that damn long backlog). I also have Octopath Traveler to experience, I might get it from the sale it's on right now. I liked the demo version so I have high hopes.
For me personally the 3DS Bravely games don't need a remake/remaster on the switch. Just make the third one and release it on the switch. If they do re-release the old ones I think I'll pass on those. But if there's gonna be a new game (or a second Octopath game) then count me in.
@Heavyarms55 Thank you for the translation.
Default was great although being bogged down by being a mind numbing grindfest in the second half. Bravely Second improved on it in nearly every way... Can't wait to see what they do with this new game!
I loved both Bravely Defaults so I'm super excited by this and really hope it'll make it to the Switch.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
The first one is god tier (yeah even with the second half)
The second is great tier (the story and the support cast is a lot weaker)
Let's pray that the third is better!
I usually don't ask for re-releases, but due to unfortunately circumstances plus the time that passed, I haven't had the chance to finish BD or even begin BS. Feel free to re-release, Square-Enix, but I'm thinking it will be Bravely Third (3 characters in the image feels like a giveaway...)
@JessM87 I Like what i have played. but, i couldn't get into the game much and haven't play it for awhile, so we decided to sell it. (i still own the music track for it, when we pre-order it.) recently been into more Role-Playing games. so, it would be nice to try it out again after playing more of the genre again.
Sometimes I feel like the only person who enjoyed Bravely Default's second half.
(Spoilers)
Yeah, I can see how doing those same four bosses over and over is repetitive, but each time you went back you got to fight the Eternian Forces in different situations, see how different Asterix holders fought and interacted together. The first time you go back, it's heavily implied that in that world, you didn't reach Edea before she fought Ominas Crowe and he ended up 'accidentally' killing her. In yet another world you end up fighting three Swordsmen Asterix holders at once! Honestly, seeing all of these different possibilities and scenarios was like fan service for me! Similar to seeing more of the Eternian Forces personalities in Bravely Second. I hope Bravely Third has similar element where we can see more scenarios with the Asterix Holders that delve deeper into their characters!
I haven't gotten round to Octopath yet, but as someone who owns both the BD Art Book and BS Deluxe Edition, I hope Bravely Third comes to Switch along with another Limited Edition too!
And I have not even played the first one yet XD I do have it though heheh
I got bored with the second game, if they're planning to re-release, it would be nice to pack both in a collection. Definitely not double-dipping if they're separate releases.
A third, fresh game is all we need though.
oh! i'm into this was, just thinking about the games last night. i hope this new one will take longer to break though, i ended up beating bravely second's final boss in the 1st turn on my first playthrough.
It's going to be a mobile game. I've been excited before. These little teasers make me nervous now.
I would actually rather see Square Enix release another spin-off entry in Final Fantasy line like Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, maybe
After the dance: Final Fantasy VIII.
