Looks like Square-Enix has uploaded a brand new trailer for Bravely Second this morning. It focuses on all the stuff revealed in the past few weeks: Edea Lee returning, the Exorcist job (coming to the demo this Wednesday), Oblivion and his fairy Anne, and some more stuff.

Here it is: YouTube

Mgrgrgr and lock if old.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Neat trailer. I'll give this a shot if/when it gets localized, even though BD's latter half was a train wreck for me. Hopefully they fixed the problems of the previous game.

The "save the princess" premise they've got going is a bit worrying, along with Agnes walking up to yet another giant crystal.

 

[kuroneko0509]

Oh thread title changed..
Back on topic, saw 2 new summons, 1, or is it 2 new special moves... and was expecting they upload this trailer after Tokaigi 1st day lol

 

[Astarte]

Awwww. Okay so, I wonder if they'll do a cast switch? Like, some of the cast betray their allies/die so that edea and the like can come in.

 

[Saro]

All I need to know is that Tiz and Ringabel are playable.

Edit: I hope Square does not pull a Dawn of a New World crap that Namco pulled when it comes to the past heroes.

About Agnès and the crystal: couldn't that just be some sort of flashback? Why would she walk next to a crystal since she's supposed to be kidnapped early in the game?

 

[casiopao]

Aww miss the Dong.

Well, the trailer looks nice, Mrgrgr stil Mrgrgr. Exorsist looks like old Dukun lol.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Cool trailer. Seems very Bravely. Looking and sounding great! Hopefully the wait for us Westerners isn't too long.

Spoiler

Actually this year is packed, take your time localizing this!

Will likely be an early 2016 title for NA.

New scene, so I assume she went to see the crystal first before she got kidnapped

 

[Pinko Marx]

Edea is best girl.

I've finally been able to sit down to play BD, about 8 hours in and I'm loving it.

You have me worried. :|

That's the thing, right? It could very well be a flashback, or "Go save Agnes, and then go around the world to awaken the crystals for X reason." After BD, I really wouldn't be surprised.

Awwww. Okay so, I wonder if they'll do a cast switch? Like, some of the cast betray their allies/die so that edea and the like can come in.

That's the feeling I get looking at the main cast.

Mai Aizawa needs to stfu

horrid VA

 

[Giever]

Those CGI bits with Agnes were kind of creepy, and Edea's outfit looks ridiculous.

Is the guy with the fairy the 'main' character? I hope Bravely Secdong Second doesn't have a similar last third as the first. ~_~

I haven't actually gotten to that point yet, but I've obviously heard a lot about it. :/

He's the one who kidnapped Agnes, so 'probably' main antagonist

You should be, unless you really really like the game.
I got to the latter half and it killed all motivation for me to finish the game.

No thats terrible advice, you don't get the real ending then.

Oh. Obviously I don't know the plot of this at all, lol. Is this a direct sequel to the first? I've barely gotten anywhere in Bravely Default so far.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

No. She is:

Magnolia Arch.

Yep, direct sequel

The guy in the mask? That's EMPEROR OBLIVION, who is seemingly the antagonist.

And yes that's his name,

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Hiromi Tsuru

That's a good name.

I think I got "good" feeling about who this guys is... but heh. We'll see!

 

[Giever]

Wow, I'm a pretty good judge of character, huh?

I just remembered from BD that the main dudes had the fairy with them and that was the deal, so I thought that since he had a fairy with him he was gonna be one of the main dudes.

I was actually kind of excited by the prospect, since it's kind of unconventional for some older guy to be the protagonist in a JRPG as opposed to teenage boys and girls.

 

[Bladenic]

Excorcist sounds like an awesome job.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I'm not sure that a female JRPG main character is that conventional, is it?

Heh, other than his general look, there's an obvious reason why anyone who finished BD would immediately think he's a bad guy.

 

[johnsavage]

I hope ryo does a good job with the music. The music for the trailer was very fitting, so I think things should be fine.

 

[Vena]

Do we have any word on Tiz?

 

[L~A]

Do we have any word on Tiz?

Other than he's in? Nope. Nothing since that "tease" in the previous trailer.

 

[Meesh]

No fracking clue what's going on that cool as heck trailer but as soon as the chap with the black mask showed up the first thing I thought of was Alice in Chains rocker Lane Staley.(Spelling?) No joke. Can't wait to play second, bring on amiibo support??

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Do we know when the update might go up? Wednesday 10:00 JST maybe?

 

[kuroneko0509]

Do we have any word on Tiz?

He's returning, but no idea on what state since like

Spoiler

Anazel D

, his voice was teased in previous trailer

Oh I must have missed this tease. Good enough for me for now. =D

 

[Purple Cheeto]

I hope the story is good enough that I actually finish the game this time around. I'm bummed at how bad BD got.

 

[ss-hikaru]

Very nice! Although for a sec I got the new fairy Anne mixed up with Magnolia (was thinking, why are they showing her twice? XD).

That voiceover...I was sure he wouldn't return based on the ending of Bravely Default, my brother is going to be very happy. Unrelated, I wanna see what Tiz's new outfit is like!!!

 

[chaobreaker]

Those CG clips are still jarring as fuck. Those bug beady eyes on Agnes is terrifying. Don't know why SE isnt instructing the CG company to design her with Yoshida's artsyle or just contract the ppl who made the CG bits in War of the Lions instead.

 

[xevis]

Well, if you don't want the True Ending...

I choose to think the first available ending is the true one. That "other stuff" is New Game+.

 

[Giever]

I'm not sure that a female JRPG main character is that conventional, is it?

I dunno, especially lately it seems like most of the JRPGs I see have main female characters, or at least prominent female cast members with a non-clearly defined main lead. Atelier and Neptunia come to mind, as well as FFXIII, obviously. I don't keep track of many popular JRPG series these days, though.

I can't nearly as easily think of JRPGs with male (or female!) leads in their 30s, 40s, or 50s. Generally high 20s for any character is pushing it, and if you do go into the 30s or 40s, you're pretty much guaranteed to get a very stereotypical gruff and bearded trope-ish dude.

I dunno, those are just my experiences, and it was really just meant as an off-handed comment, since I was kind of like 'Whoa, are they seriously having someone like this as the main character? That kind of piques my interest!"

 

[Gambit]

I think I got "good" feeling about who this guys is... but heh. We'll see!

So do I.

Spoiler

his face seems to ring a bell

 

[Corgi]

hope you can transfer some data from the first game somehow.


That feel of regrinding all the old classes makes me sad

Some chapters near the end of the game are pretty bad, especially compared to how great the rest of the game is.

People constantly overreact to these bad chapters though. They don't take up anywhere near 1/2th of gametime, unless perhaps if you're a completionist. You can breeze through all the bad chapters, they take about as much time combined as a single good chapter if you don't do all the side missions.

 

[Oregano]

Pretty great trailer. Really like the music and of course it has Edea!

 

[FluxWaveZ]

The music really makes that trailer. If nothing else, Bravely Second will have a great soundtrack.

 

[JordanKZ]

I really hope this makes it to Europe this year. Some how, I doubt it will.

 

[L~A]

Well, if there's a Western release for this game (and not a possible For The Trilogy edition instead), we'll probably hear about it before or at E3.

 

[InternHertz]

Very good trailer!

Damn April is shaping up to be one hell of a JRPG month O_O two Xenoblade games and Bravely Second...

Still playing the game (near the end of chapter 7), but I'm actually enjoying the side-quests in the 2nd half of the game so far.
