Bravely Default comes with “Also Plays on 2DS” sticker
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Nintendo is doing something a bit new with the release of Bravely Default in North America. Game owners will find that the packaging comes with an “Also Plays on 2DS” sticker. If nothing else, it should prevent any potential confusion for the more mainstream consumer that the game can be played on both a 3DS and 2DS.

Bravely Second will offer improved visuals compared to its predecessor
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Bravely Second is still a long ways off, but producer Tomoya Asano and designer Akihiko Yoshida have been regularly talking with Japanese outlets about the upcoming 3DS game.
In a new interview with Famitsu, Yoshida said that the game will include enhanced graphics compared to Bravely Default. He said:
Basically the [battle] system does not change but the graphics are better than in the previous game. It’s possible to fill a dense background with thicker lines and strike a balance between the two. In the previous game, we felt the resolution was too low when zooming in. But this time, the denser background and camera zoom in does not affect quality, and unlike the previous game I don’t feel that [Bravely Second] falls apart when the camera is closer.
Bravely Default producer believes the game has “no need for any more improvements”

Bravely Default hit Japan back in 2012, but Square Enix decided to re-release the game with over 100 improvements. This new version is the same title that’s being made available in North America and Europe.
After greatly changing and enhancing the original game, producer Tomoya Asano believes that there’s “really no need for any more improvements.”
Asano said the following when asked if Bravely Default’s world map would be improved for the sequel:
“In terms of Bravely Default […] we worked specifically on making improvements to it for almost a year after it was released in Japan, so we feel that there is really no need for any more improvements. In my opinion, if there more things you ‘could’ do with the map, for example, it might make some players feel that there were more things they ‘must’ do with it.
“In Bravely Default, we tried to eliminate all elements besides those which we wanted our players to enjoy, to streamline the experience.”
We also have this… unexpected comment from Asano:
“If I were a pretty girl, I would want to dress up as the Valkyrie job type. Unfortunately, I will have to give up on that idea, since I’m a middle-aged man of 35!”
