On how Agnes has been inaugurated as a pope…
“Yes, you may have noticed by looking at the illustration, but this time, the adventure will be centered around saving Agnes, who gets taken away.”
– The idea is to bring out a feeling of saving a princess
– Bravely Second will have new jobs plus ones from Bravely Default
– Designs for returning jobs have been refined
On whether the Asterisk Holders [the characters from whom you obtained the job classes] will be different this time around…
“No, the Asterisk Holders who appeared in the first game won’t be changing. Please look forward to seeing what they’ll be up to in the world of Bravely Second.”
On whether we’ll be seeing follow-up reports on a more regular basis from this point on…
“I’d really like to do that. I’d also like to release a demo for the game, so look forward to that, as well. For those who haven’t played the first game, there’s a demo that lets you play up to the first four chapters, so please go ahead and give that a try!”
