Skip the PS4 (for now). Less "greatness awaits", more "greatness".

Between Bravely Default and ALBW I am partying like it's 1992. It's a SNES renaissance!

And a PS1 one :)

3DS is going wild indeed, this game and Layton Azran are two of my top anticipated games of all time

Just bought Zelda LTTP too and will soon be playing it :), so exiting times

I dont even think of next gen yet, i still have a ton of 3DS games to get and Dark Souls 2

Probably i will delay any next gen purshase until 2015 or Witcher 3 is out on PS4

If it's unchanged from the original game, there is a normal ending which you can trigger early at multiple points in the game, and a true ending which just requires you to play normally. Strangely, I think it's easier to get the true ending than the normal ending, since that requires you to defy the game's instructions.

What do you mean? Did you MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD trigger it within the first four chapters?

It's less about your character level, and more about what skills and abilities you have equipped. And I must admit, there are several overpowered combinations to be found. Lategame bosses can still pose a challenge though.

A little. Agnes has a few more Magic points, Edea has a few more Strength points, but it's really minor.

There are DL costumes for the Japanese version but I haven't been able to find anything regarding the western version except this snippit from a Tumblr user:

The new DLC costumes are included as a DLC code and are compatible with Bravely Default: For the Sequel (worry not foreigners; the DLC costumes from both BDFF and BDFS are in the game itself overseas)

I did it in chapter 5, then the characters started talking about things such as "Irregulars" and some parallel universe Edea getting killed when they couldn't possibly know at that point of the game :(

Can't wait to see if they adressed my main complaint from the original. It's THAT point, the one I cannot talk about because it's a big big spoiler. It has left such a bad taste in my mouth. It was like being super high, flying up there and being dragged to the floor a bit too abruptly...

The official twitter account got back to me and said I can use my digital BDFF's save with a retail BDFtS, so I'm happy now. Went and ordered the game with the artbook, Project Mirai 2 and a new, white XL.

There'll be a live broadcast on Monday, too, for anyone interested. Edea's VA will be hosting again, and they'll also show the extra bosses taken from 4HoL.

Didn't know there was already a thread for it.

Is it also known that the first print run in Japan will use shiny paper for the cover?


I don't know of any Yoshida artbooks, but the new Bravely Default one includes stuff from 4HoL as well as almost everything from BDFF itself. I might take a few pictures when I get my copy, if it's allowed, but I wouldn't risk scanning it or I'd likely bend the pages.

I posted the shiny paper cover here but I didn't mention it's first-print only. I was forced to order a second copy of the game because of reasons, I guess I can keep one of them sealed as a collectible :/

Yeah, saw you mention that in the other thread.

Although, if it's possible to upload FtS save data to the members site, just as you can with the original versions data, then it may actually be possible to transfer data between a digital and physical copy of the game by means of uploading the data from one and importing it when starting a new game in the other.

It hinges on FtS being able to upload its data, and what method the game uses to import it though. Might be worth asking the official twitter account.

I asked them 17 hours ago but there's no reply. I couldn't wait any longer because of other reasons, so I had to buy the second physical copy today.

So I read it in the OP, but just to mega-confirm anyway - the Western version of the game definitely has the option of either the Western dub or the original Japanese voice-track, right?

Added a bunch of reviews, jpggames, (German), ingame.de(German), Gameliner(dutch review site), and Nintendolife(English) reviews. I haven't seen a score below a 9 yet, this might be the highest reviewed 3rd party game in a while.

So pumped to play this game when it comes out in America.

Any 3DS owner with even a fleeting interest in role-playing games and a desire to get lost in an incredible, engaging adventure would be doing themselves a huge favour by picking up Bravely Default without delay.
