In the recent Bravely Second live-stream we learned that Edea will be returning in the upcoming title, Bravely Second.

Now in this week’s issue of Famitsu we see a glimpse of what she will look like as well as some additional details about how she has evolved.

She appears to have grown up slightly as the artwork is showing her as being a little older.

Edea is now the leader of the Imperial Guard Knights, and will now be one of the main characters.

It is unknown at this time if she will be a completely playable character this time, she is said to be returning to “judge” the Asterisk holders from the previous game.

Famitsu also revealed that there will be a new “Barter Sub Scenario System”.

There will be additional information about the Patissier job in next week’s issue.
