Is there any info out there in whether it will be N3DS enhanced or not?

nothing so far

 

[shark sandwich]

Would be weird if Tiz isn't playable at one point.
Agnès, I can understand with her new fonction, I think she guides the heroes in this one, replacing Airy.

Re: Tiz

Spoiler

the true ending of BD makes it clear he's dead. You the player essentially "borrowed" his body after he was killed when his hometown was destroyed. And then left his body in peace once the quest was complete. Maybe they could find a way to bring him back but I hope they don't.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Main reason I'm now hesitant on slapping out 50+ bucks for it Day 1 for Bravely Second.

Ditto. I'll wait until people have finished it before I buy this time.

I was talking about the Bravely Second secret teaser with Magnolia.
Would be weird to show that and then nothing happen, maybe the first part of the game will be

Spoiler

Agnès ordering her knights to save Tiz (something with his body).

Wait and see I guess, no doubt "Yuu" will be an important part of it.

When will Nintendo purchase this IP from Squeenix and actually give it a full dev team?

Tiz

Spoiler

isn't dead. He lost his soul or some such, which you were basically the stand-in for as Airy's sister but his body was still alive (I still don't really understand why you abandon him as you do at the end). There's a brief scene of Tiz in a tube and Magnolia busts in to find him, as a teaser to Bravely Second.

No, but since it was one of the game showcased during the N3DS Direct this August, I believe it'll have some sort of N3DS features.

 

[Somnid]

Guuuuys, they are not going to do the repetition again, that was story related *sigh*

While they did a good job of wrapping it as such it was clear that both BD and this were not given a big budget. IIRC this already borrows a lot of assets from the first so I wouldn't count on them not trying to find ways to pad it.

 

[akidnamededdy]

Also if you are gonna do the whole loop thing again, let me fucking teleport to each crystal instead of running through each dungeon for the nth time.

I would be right there with you on this if not for the fact that you can turn off random battles at any time. Those dungeons ain't exactly long.

Who's Yuu? I thought Tiz was back.

3 of them aren't... but that fire dungeon is needlessly long for some reason from entrance to the crystal.

I really wish there was enough difference between each time. Like redo some of the maps, change the color theme. You have to explore really deep or pay REALLY close attention to notice any changes, which often is just a few lines of dialogue.


The real punch in the gut is, once you figure out the baddie... you still have to fucking go through it all like 3 more times.

Can't remember, but wasn't there's a shortcut for that one?

 

[Vena]

Do we have any planned western release date? And is Nintendo going to be the one doing the publishing/localization again?

 

[Corgi]

Can't remember, but wasn't there's a shortcut for that one?

could be? don't remember ever finding it.

 

[Shengar]

Might be like Golden Sun The Lost Age. We might be able to rejoin the BDFF cast later in the game.

Nah, the Set system is there so you can have different setups for your existing characters; like Time Mage Magnolia, Ninja Magnolia, and so on and so forth (allowing you to switch from one to the other in a matter of seconds).

I mistook one of the party as male, which makes the party composition is very unlikely unless it have various playable characters.

My complain in the first game is the lack playable characters, I mean the variation that not just in personality. With that big guy as the member of the party, I wouldn't have to complain about it anymore.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Still day 1.
Bravely Default is my GOTY even with the flaws.
For me to remember a game I played at the beginning of the year more so than one last month means a lot to me. Surprised this isn't out yet though.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Definitely buying this day 1 if/when it comes to NA. Would be in for any kind of special edition if it gets one again. Still haven't finished Bravely Default but 30 hours in I'm still really enjoying the game.

 

[Bladenic]

Love the design of the big guy.

 

[Exentryk]

Finally, something called "My set".

It allows you to create a list of your characters and have it save what jobs they’re using, along with their commands, abilities, and equipment. Making it much easier to have various setups with all the jobs out there.

Hell yes! I asked for this.

4Gamer.net got the pics from the Famitsu articles:

 

[Red Liquorice]

The "my set" feature is something a lot of RPGs are screaming out for, including BD. Really happy to see this.

 

[Principate]

I got a good 30 hours before I stopped because of the repetition, so I'm not too burned by the game.

My biggest issue is how much it directly repeats from the first game which would really kills things if they directly take too much.

 

[Hyperactivity]

God damn the character models look much better

 

[ActStriker]

Yeah, there's a shortcut for the fire cave so you don't have to go through the entire thing again when you go back. You can unlock it by going down after that safe-from-the-lava cutscene.
