Square Enix will release a Collector’s Pack for Bravely Default: Flying Fairy exclusively through the Square Enix e-Shop.

Although it costs twice the amount as the standard release, a bunch of items are included. A copy of the game, the game’s original soundtrack, an art album, an original protect case for 3DS, and a life size AR poster will be bundled in for 12,800 yen.

New Bravely Default details have arrived, by the way. You can check them out below.

– Job system similar to Final Fantasy V
– Has an element of “cost” for more customization
– Use Job Commands and Support Abilities in battle
– Job Commands are standard commands (magic, attacks, etc.)
– Support Abilities: abilities whose effects are automatic without command input
– Examples of the above: +10% HP, or a knight’s ability to cover a party member who’s in trouble
– One of your Job Commands can be set with an ability that you learned when playing as a separate job
– This allows a knight to use magic
– Set Support Abilities with those learned from another job
– Support Abilities use a cost system
– Players can freely set support abilities, regardless of their originating job, as long as you stay within cost
– This system lets you take a weak white mage and use support abilities to build up the character’s HP and defense strength
– Earn new abilities when your job level rises
– Job level rises as you defeat enemies and acquire “JP” (Job Points)
– Jobs can be raised up to 10 levels
– Characters engage in skits like the Tales series
– Characters will talk about the current state of the story, various side bits, and even share strategies
– “Party Chat” will appear on the lower left of the screen when a skit is available
– Press Y to see the skit
– Large number of skits
– Some rare skits included

Thanks to 4Him for the tip.
