Siliconera has an article covering a few more details for Bravely Second. It’s now essentially confirmed that Edea is playable (rather than just appearing in the story), and we have more on the Patissier job. Read on below for the latest details.

– Patissier job’s Asterisk Holder in Angelo W. Panettone shown in the latest live stream
– He has a following of crazed girls that say his sweets are “to die for” when asked about them
– Square Enix also showed what the Patissier job looks like during the stream
– Edea was shown in the party, which seems to confirm she’s playable
– Patissier’s abilities focus on making snacks
– This includes the “patisserie” ability that lets you use ingredients you have to make cakes
– Make different cakes like the Poison Cake, Blind Cake, Fire Cake
– Fire Cake can hit enemy weaknesses
– The Patissier has other abilities like ones that help you pick up items, and another one that lets you choose a party member to get attacked more frequently

Dengeki recently held another live stream recording for Bravely Second. Producer Tomoya Asano and shared more on the game’s “Barter Sub-Scenario” system. You can find that information below (thanks Siliconera).

– In the Barter Sub-Scenario, Edea takes on the lead role, where you’ll encounter Asterisk Holders from Bravely Default
– Edea talks to 2 Asterisk Holders and listens to their dispute in each scenario
– Edea then must choose one to side with
– Fight against the Asterisk Holder you don’t side with, and you’ll get their Asterisk, or job
– The one you do choose to side with, you’ll get to see more from their story
– Won’t have to fight them, but you won’t get their job
– Asano doesn’t specify whether we can get their jobs later on in the game
– This is a form of “ultimate decision making”
– The Barter Sub-Scenario will bring back many Asterisk Holders
– Edea’s Japanese voice actress Mai Aizawa says that these are the parts where she has a good amount of voiceover work
– Ex: Thief Asterisk Holder Jackal asks Edea to help him, the man that has been helping out the thirsty
– The Red Mage Asterisk Holder Fiore DeRosa then asks Edea to defeat Jackal, for the sake of the future and mankind
– While it doesn’t show why exactly the two have been arguing, they say that there’s actually quite a lot of story development behind these Barter Sub-Scenarios
– No right/wrong answer for who you should side with
– There will be something nice for those who start the game with Bravely Default save data
– Details on this coming in the near future
