Koei Tecmo was able to fulfill its original vision and also responded to requests for that additional player slot.
Edagawa said the following:

Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
The developers behind Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster have spoken about why Square Enix revisited the game for Nintendo Switch 2.

Square Enix ultimately settled on a remaster, and it just so happened that the development schedule overlapped with Nintendo Switch 2’s launch.
Bravely series producer Tomoya Asano and HD Remaster producer Naofumi Matsushita shared the following in a recent interview:

Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
The July 2025 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase aired earlier this week, and following the event, we’re interested in hearing about what you thought of the show.
This wasn’t a general Nintendo Direct, meaning the Big N itself wasn’t really present here. We did get to see Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, but that was all. Third-parties did show up with their own announcements – Monster Hunter Stories 3, Octopath Traveler, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, Persona 3 Reload, Pac-Man World Re-Pac 2, and Once Upon A Katamari were shown. You can catch up on everything that was featured here.
So what’d you think of the July 2025 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase? What were your highlights? Let us know in the comments.
