Square Enix updated the official Bravely Second website today with new details about the 3DS game. You’ll find a bunch of details about the Guatelatio location, Agnes, and a few different jobs below.

Guatelatio

– Has put her heart and soul into realizing lasting peace between the Orthodoxy and Eternia
– Gets kidnapped at the peace treaty ceremony
