– The asterisk holder for the Exorcist job is named Geist – Bloody Geist
– He’s voiced by Takumi Yamazaki
– The designer for the Exorcist is Yokoyan
– The buster ships are used to combat Maou in space

– You can team up with friends’ buster ships to do this
– This feature will be added into an update for the demo which will also include the Exorcist job as well

– Edea will be back in Bravely Second
– Asterisk holder of the Tomahawk job, Aimy Matchlock, speaks with a distinct Hiroshima accent
– While talking about her dialect, the developers asked themselves how the localization will be handled in this regard, since you can’t really replicate the Hiroshima accent in English
– Asano then joked that they’re doing everything they can to give the localization translators as hard of a time as possible
– Magnolia Arch speaks “fluent” English
– Everyone on the moon speaks fluent English, which is where Magnolia is from

Square Enix revealed a new job for Bravely Second during today’s live stream for the game known as the Exorcist. Here’s what we know:

– 4 party members shown playing as the Exorcist job
– Can turn back time with the “Never Happened” ability
– Go back up to 3 turns
– Ex: showed Nikolai taking some damage, and Magnolia used the “Never Happened HP” and it reverted his health back to what it was before he took damage
– This ability can also work when players get incapacitated
– As such, Exorcist is considered more of a healing class
– Since you can use it on other characters, it’ll come in handy, as they’ll be able to charge up with Defaults while always keeping their health the way it was
– The cost for Never Happened is relatively low
– Other Exorcist abilities will be revealed in the future
– Square Enix also showed the Asterisk Holder for the Exorcist job
– He’s a pretty creepy character, and was shown taking a slash attack, only to have it recover, as if it never even happened
– Illustration above made by yokoyan, who has worked on several occasions with Bravely Default composer revo on cover art, and more

On another note, Square Enix confirmed that Bravely Second will include roughly 30 jobs.

We previously heard that Square Enix had 3DS theme plans for Bravely Second. Now we have a look at one of the special home menu designs. I don’t believe it’s widely available yet, but some 3DS owners already have access to the theme above after obtaining it at Jump Festa 2015.

Square Enix is readying several pre-order bonuses for Bravely Second in Japan.

By reserving the game on the company’s e-store, players will receive the exclusive Trinity Sword. This features a new ability called Divine Night that lets you absorb the damage you’d normally take, during a Default.

Amazon Japan is giving out the Ogre’s Swing katana. The weapon has the Shell Split ability that was used by Pirates in Bravely Default. It’s capable of lowering the target’s physical defense up to 75%.

Another pre-order bonus, the Dragonbreath bow, comes from GEO Hyper Media Shop. The bow makes use of the new ability Physical Up, which is used to increase a target’s physical attack.

Last but not least is the Holy Spear Garuda from Game Tsutaya. This has the Haste Magic – a level 2 Time Magic in Bravely Default – that increases speed by up to 150 percent.

Square Enix shared new details about Bravely Second at Jump Festa 2015 today, including new information about the Cat Master job. You’ll find the latest information below, as translated by Gematsu.

• Cat High Arts: Takes two items to summon a pair of cats to pull off powerful moves. At Jump Festa, it was shown in a demo as used to raise everybody’s BP by one, but has been deemed too powerful by the development team and will be re-balanced accordingly. What cats appear depend on items used.
• When “Death Spiral,” a move that hits several times, was used, the two cats were gray and brown, and a doodle of a cat appeared above the character that summoned them (apparently drawn by designer using their non-writing hand). Items used to summon cats are acquired through moon reconstruction.
• Cat Arts: Following moves confirmed: “Consume,” “Slugger,” “White Window,” and “Book Burning.” These only take one item to summon a cat to do.
• Nenneko: Makes all enemies fall asleep.
• Lie Down: Raises physical and magic defense.
• Dig: Not clarified.

Reader Edmund C has sent along more Bravely Second details. The information comes from the scans we posted over the weekend.

For a translation of systems in Bravely Second, continue on below.

“Follow-Up Chance”
When you defeat the enemies within one turn, there will be a chance for the option to follow-up immediately into the next battle. Winning the follow-up battle will result in greater reward

“Presets”
Save presets of your party set-up, including abilities and equipments. This allows players to set up different parties for various situation and switch between them easily without needing to configure individual characters.

“U’s Journal”

Her journal is a dynamic beastiary. The more times you defeat a monster, the more tidbits of information will be added to that monster’s entry.

“City Rebuilding”
The returning realtime minigame from the previous game. This time it’s set on the moon’s surface.
