Square Enix held one final live stream for Bravely Second earlier today. You can find it below, along with a bunch of details that were shared during the event.
– Futagi is excited to sit on Twitter and read reactions, be they cries of pain or joy
– Takahashi doesn’t feel like it’s actually happening
– According to Asano, a ton of story stuff got kept a secret compared to the average game, so he’s really excited, be it good or bad
– Tomahawk in particular is apparently super strong according to Takahashi
– A lot of the old jobs have gotten significant changes based on user feedback, ease of use, etc.
– Talking about the new Moon Base restoration mini game. Replaces the town building mini game. Get peeps with street pass etc.
– New mini-game. Kapu Kapu Maker. You make stuffed animals of the weird monster. “You prob have no idea what we’re talking about.”
– You unlock music in the music player by playing that as well
– If you talk to the pig, you can warp to any town you’ve been to already
– Looks like all the old towns have seen changes
– There are more weapon types in the game as well
– 4/23 The Special Bravely Second site will go up. Events, achievements, etc. Carry on data from FTS and you get the freelancer stuff.
– Basically you can have the freelancer outfit equipped regardless of what job you’re using
– There are other ways to get those, but folks with saves get it right off the bat
– From 4/24 to 4.30, there will be 6 different Maou that’ll be fightable. Two of those are brand new.
– Bravely Second rubber straps available at the Square Enix e-Store. Available in July.
– Bravely Second Collabo Cafe Part 2. From 5/15. More details coming later.
– Final words! Starting with Futagi. “We think we’ve made something even better than the last game. Play with your friends!”
Takahashi: People watching are probably already fans, but I’m looking forward to playing along with everyone on Thursday.”
– Asano: We designed this stream with folks who weren’t sure if they wanted to buy Bravely Second or not in mind. It’s been over two years since we made Bravely Default. We’ve spent the last 2 and a half years preparing for this, and I think we’ve made something great. And as always, we’d be happy if you spread the word on twitter etc, and talked about the game. I’m sure we’ll meet again soon. Thanks!
Head past the break for details from the Q&A.
Q: What was the base concept for this game?
A: They were keeping in mind that it’s a sequel, they had to do better than last time etc.
Q: How many chapters?
A: It’s a secret.
Q: Who’s in your party?
A: The people you see. The party mostly doesn’t change. Mostly.
Q: How many years post BD is the game set?
A: Two and a half years.
Q: What about FMVs like the opening?
A: It’s a secret.
Q: Why is Tiz the one on the cover? Please tell us?
A: Turns out they haven’t actually revealed it?
Q: Will there be a director’s cut style release like last time?
A: We haven’t made one and we don’t really have the desire to. We wanna release something every year, but not an update. We don’t know what we’d wanna add to this anyway. We want to make Bravely Third, but that’ll take time. So we wanna release something inbetween if we can.
Q: In the barter sub scenario system where you have to pick a job, what happens to the other one?
A: We’re not saying if that’s all the jobs or not, if there are secret jobs etc. Play the game and find out!
Q: Are their jobs with abilities that overlap?
A: Hm, there are similar things, but they’re definitely not exactly the same.
Q: What changes from the demo have there been?
A: Lots of random things here and there. Kinda hard to explain. Tons of little stuff.
Q: Is there an English option?
A: Sorry.
Q: Can we talk to cats cause we have the Cat User job?
A: yes. You can now talk to cats if you have the job.
Q: There were cases in the demo where the same monster appeared but a different size, is that final?
A: Yeah, there are size variants.
Q: Please talk about the collaboration items and special stuff. Will that be available as paid DLC?
A: We will not charge anything.
Q: What about events after the game releases?
A: Yes! We’ll introduce them later.
Q: What about a New 3DS cover?
A: Working on it!
Q: 3DS theme?
A: Yes. The day of the game’s release.
