There's only one thing I fear... that they recycle the whole world map without any new one.
I'm not even sure it will come out in English at all. SEwon't want to do it and Nintendo might be busy gearing up for their next handheld by the time they get a chance to look at it.

Why wouldn't SE want to do it? Game sold decently well in the west.

1m copies worldwide say hi.
Btw, they are launching the game just before the Golden Week, smart move.
Is it confirmed for the West yet? Anyone know how it did in Europe? God damn region locks.

there's 2 new city confirmed at the moment... so....
Nintendo hasn't even released the new 3DS outside Australia and Japan. They're not going to be busy with their next handheld. If SE won't do it, Nintendo definitely will since it can only benefit the new 3DS
what year?
Lol wtf

SE have a another Bravely Second stream lined up in 2 days time to talk about the release and all:

Dragon Quest IX sold a million in the west alone and we have seen how that's gone. The game is being treated like an afterthought in Japan as well, just like the first game.
If Square Enix wants to do a For the Sequel version then it will be well into 2016 before a possible western release. I think Nintendo will definitely be busy preparing internal software for the next system at that point.

How is that gone? Nintendo and Square Enix released two more DQ games in Europe, DQVI and DQM: Joker 2. Also, the comparison is not really one-to-one since this is a direct sequel, while we have still to receive a "proper" mainline DQ in the vein of DQIX (DQX is a MMORPG).
Nintendo localized many third party games just before or right after 3DS launch; e.g. Dragon Quest IX (2010) Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (2010) / Last Specter (2011); Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 (2011); Inazuma Eleven 1 (2011) and 2 (2012); Solatorobo (2011).
And the For the Sequel version is not very likely at this point.

Just over two years? With For The Sequel inbetween? How is that long?

Thirteen flew over the cuckoo's nest
For a 3ds game with so much content recycled, obviously something's went suspiciously wrong. Plus it was meant to be a Winter release, and got delayed. I wonder why.
It's really not that long of a wait. Again, FTS was only a year ago and the first game had enough padding that more time can only be good.

Wow, much later than what I expected ! The demo is coming tomorow...that's weird. And the game was fully playable from start to finish months ago. What they are doing now are some refinements. Really wonder why they decided to release it so late (fingers cross for a multi language game like BDfts and an US/PAL release soon after the JP release !)

Perhaps SQEX wants to exploit the Golden Week period, that might guarantee higher sales.

It's going to come for sure. The game sold more in the west than it did in Europe.
I share the same concern, which is the use of the same world map (but new/different locations).
I haven't seen much of the game, though.
I'll take that over pulling an Ubi though.
This.
If I have to choose between a unfinished Game, or a delayed one, I'll definitely go for the later one.

I can't wait for this game, I loved the first one. Hopefully they avoid the last few chapter repetition this time though. As long as there's not a second upgraded version later on, we should get it by the end of next year.

Will be there day one, looooved the first one!
On a side note, I wanna trade in my physical Bravely Default copy and wanna get the eShop version. I know it's been possible to transfer saves to the initial eShop release of For The Sequel, but is it still possible with the updated free 2 try release? Can't find any info on that and I'm not into losing my data :/... Anybody can hit me up with an advice? Thanks in advance!

Got the Collector's edition when the first came out and intend to do the same with this one when it hits our shores.

CE is out of stock already :lol
Hope Nintendo does the localization again and gets the game out by holiday 2015. I don't trust Square to greenlight a localization immediately. Probably more like "let's see how it sells in Japan before even thinking about a Western localization". So if it underperforms even a little bit in Japan Square might not even bother.
Ideal scenario is Nintendo has already started the translation.
