If it follows standard story tropes, then the old guy is going to die after giving some final advice to the characters, while the other young dude shows up throughout the game as the misguided rival thinking he's doing the right thing opposing the main character.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Gonna just say that the original 4 party members from BDFF were all considered main characters regardless on how important they were or not. The same will likely be in effect for Yuu and Magnolia.

I guess Tomahawk is the Gunner class I presume?

 

[Mathaou]

I really want Tiz to just show up and replace him half way through the game. Like Yuu is a super well developed character and a million times better than Tiz, and then Tiz just shows up, still the same as the last game.

 

[gryvan]

Thats pretty amazing!

A musketeer class as well as a tomahawk class! Will there be more classes when the final game is released?

Also someone needs to make a deviant art picture of "Pope Agnes"

Besides the classes in BDFF they will be adding 6 new classes in Bravely Second.

 

[duckroll]

They haven't actually confirmed a Musketeer class. The unit Yuu leads is called the Three Musketeers.

 

[Pyros_Eien]

Have they confirmed ALL classes are coming back though? Like say Vampire and Conjurer are pretty specific classes that are tied to the story(especially vampire). Granted the way you acquire classes is linked to the thingies the bosses all have that Yulyana made so it'd make sense you'd just fight someone else that inherited it.

I assume existing classes might see some reworks too, a few of them were kinda meh.

 

[mickagau33]

Scans are out. Yuu holds a book in his artwork. I don't know if it means something. Also, you can see Magnolia outfit for Tomahawk job. Strange they don't show Yuu job outfit. Based on the scan, you could guess the 3 musketeers are playable (in battle) but Yuu is the only one seen walking around. I don't know but all of this sounds fishy ;-)

 

[Exentryk]

So, what's the name of that new girl character?

EDIT - Looks like her name is Amy, and is designed by abec (SAO).
EDIT 2 - Is it Amy, or Army?

 

[Soriku]

Amy's design looks pretty good. Also liking the weapon.

 

[Taruranto]

Ugh, SAO. Hopefully this doesn't mean more pandering-oriented story.

 

[ss-hikaru]

I don't like Yu's design much :| Happy for more weapon types though!

Ugh, SAO. Hopefully this doesn't mean more pandering-oriented story.

Haha the whole Ask Agnes thing with her in a cage reminded me of SAO..(assuming SAO stands for sword art online). (btw I like your avatar )

 

[Soriku]

Yuu is a given, but Jean and Nikolai both look like they have combat shots.

Is that a journal in Yuu's hand?

 

[mickagau33]

Is that a journal in Yuu's hand?

A journal or a book. Can anyone translate what the characters are saying in the screens?

 

[Exentryk]

Is that a journal in Yuu's hand?

Book of U?

Also, Dengeki article just got posted.

 

[PaulBizkit]

Finally some details !

Ok, so we've got the new Gunner and Musketeer classes so far, right? I need to beat bravely default before this comes out.

 

[duckroll]

Wow, looks like Yuu might actually be U. I wonder how that's going to work out in English. Might sound super silly/weird. Lol.

Gonna add some of those pics to the OP.

On the official site, he is named as You. But this is relevant www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU4lYcN6zEY

Anyway, some non watermarked images:

PS: Duckroll, in the OP, Amy is named as Army

Actually, I'm thinking Nikolai might end up being the Big Bad somehow. Old, big flowing robes, hair in a vaguely devil-horns style. Either that or an early companion, later asterisk holder.

Both the non-player musketeers look too much different to the player character (and Magnolia) style, and I suspect that's because they're not conventional player characters. But then, the Tomahawk asterisk holder *does* have the same style going on, which leaves me curious.

 

[Asd202]

Soley/Sorey and Yuu/You. Really Japan? Really?

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Bravely game on consoles/PC without the chibification of the art style is a dream of mine.

I'm waiting on reviews for the sequel because the second-half of the first game was such a fucking letdown.

 

[fedexpeon]

Is there something wrong with Japanese devs? So many sidekick character like Jean Engarde looks so much better than the main character. He probably has a better characterization as well.
BD: Ringabel>>>>Tiz, Edea>>>Everyone in term of style and background.
But man, Engarde is really rocking that hairstyle. I hope he doesn't backstab you in the end >.<
People with fabulous hair in JRPG can't be trusted.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I really like this design, and the other guys also look okay.

 

[Qurupeke]

The main(?) character seems okay. Kind of generic but he looks better than Tiz.

I didn't mind Tiz, as cookie-cutter as he was. The only thing that really did bother me was the way that his belt and stuff hanging from it made his ass looked HUGE.

Thanks. Fixed the stupid typo. I definitely think the "You" pun is intentional, especially considering the meta part of BD's ending. I wonder what the journal gimmick will be this time.

 

[Aostia]

I like the Tomahawk girl!

YuuTube

That should totally be a bottom screen gimmick. You go into the menu, load Yuutube, and you can play back unlocked memories on the bottom screen!

 

[Espada]

Amy/Army Matchlock looks pretty cool, as do the musketeers. Not sure what I think about Pope Agnes being down there all the time, judging me.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I liked Tiz' design better than Yuu's but whatever, Magnolia will be the real star of the game.

[vato_loco]

I will play the hell out of this game. I absolutely adored the first one, it's the best RPG I've played in too long.

Still, I kinda hope they don't mess this IP up, you know. I have little faith on producers lately.

Also give me Edea!

It's Amy. I just made a typo in the original post and then quoted it into the OP. Lol.
