Not so much a direct sequel but the 'same world' thing going on as 'FF: The 4 Heroes of Light'.

Thanks. My one concern out of the demo was that the four character would essentially be mute observers to what is going on. If they have personalities and are explored (a requirement for a JRPG for me) then I am all in.

It's the original game + extra events + gameplay tweaks. Not too sure but may or may not have hints towards the actual sequel.
Also if you've ever played any Tales game they have the same kind of Skits scenes, no voice I believe but helps getting to know them better:
Every job has something good about it.
Merchant or whatever they're gonna call it, especially, is super good for getting exp and money quicker. A job most people probably wouldn't give a second glance to.
now i regret not getting the 150 3ds dsxl

The_Endgamer is referring to a previous game in the FF series, to which BD is a spiritual sequel. It's all in the OP.

The official twitter account got an interesting header image.
It seems like that design was scrapped in favor of the Bravo Bunny.
Not revealing enough.
Pedo Default... I love the art style but these look so ... wrong.

It's pretty speedy. It's turn-based but the animations are really fast and there's no ATB or cool down bar or something like that.

Ah not too sure about things in 4 Heroes of Light stuff. So someone can explain better if they played it...I should track down a copy when I can.
Normal Speed wise quite slow, fast forwarding, really fast.
Hey, they're not that young!

Indeed, you should : )
Going by the demo, it's definitely harder than what we've been used to. There are overpowered job combos and game mechanics that make grinding very easy for those who are having problems, so with brief planning, you can grind yourself to god levels fast if you want to.
FFVI was fairly easy if I remember right, no? I think BD's 'easy' difficulty could be comparable to FFVI's difficulty.
if any canadians were looking for a place to pre-order the collector's edition, it's available at amazon.ca for $49.99

Can't wait to download this next Friday! Spent 10 hours in the demo alone, i am ready for the full game!
From what I played in the demo, it is a bit reminiscent of FFV with the Job system. It's a classic turn based combat system with Brave/Default actually being a nice twist.
I guess it could be compared to FF5 for the gameplay having just played the demo.

With the original game I got the digital version, and I'm pre-ordering the retail version for FtS, but forgot to question whether I'd be able to use my save-data with it, or whether the retail copy would force me to use a new "Bravely Code"; tweeted the official account to be sure.
I was looking forward to a hard mode run, after transferring over just my unlocked jobs.

Cannot wait for this. This is the game that got me interested in the 3DS in the first place.

ok now I'm confused
Well, the JP boxart is "Bravely Default : For the Sequel", NoA decided to keep the "Bravely Default : Flying Fairy" boxart which is the first game released last year.
Then NoE have the "For the Sequel" boxart.
There's two box arts. The original with just the fairy image, and then the revision (For the Sequel) with the group image.
The enhanced version of the game is what's being released internationally. EU is getting the revision's box art, while NA is getting the original.

I know about how to get the digital version of FtS; I'm saying I don't want the digital version.
It's unlikely to be in the English version, but the original Japanese game connected to the Square Enix Members site by giving you a "Bravely Code" which you then entered on the website. It allowed you to upload save data and get promotional items (such as the outfit in my avatar).
The problem is that if I got the download version of For the Sequel (which is essentially a patch) it'd use the same Bravely Code I already have, but since I'm getting a brand new retail copy of FtS, it may need a new Bravely Code, which will prevent me from connecting it to my SQENIX Members account, hence I've asked the official twitter about it.
The only option I can see, if the game doesn't take this possibility into account, is by doing what you can do if you enter the Bravely Code incorrectly; since you can't change it yourself, you need to contact support if you enter it wrong, so if FtS gives me a brand new Bravely Code I may be able to get support to switch it with my pre-existing code. Maybe.

The version of the game is identical in Japan, Europe and US. Only the cover art for the US is different.

So it's really that good? How is the soundtrack? Fully orchestrated? Uematsu?
How is the difficulty? Just right or nintendofied and hand holdey with easy battles?
So it's basically a game like FFV right?

I don't know about BD, but 4HOL was at times very challenging. In a good way. Not the bullshit way, like those petrifying birds, sand worms and those fucking bullshit moon blobs in FFIV.

Really good. Awesome music. By Sound Horizon(Revo). Difficulty can be as easy or as hard as you like.
Think of it as FFV Job System+FFT customization and as great as FFIX along with the writer being the author of Stein's Gate and I think you have a winner here.
