Square Enix passed along another batch of information about Bravely Second today. The latest details cover Edea Lee’s role in the game, other characters, and jobs. Read on below for the information, courtesy of Gematsu’s translation.

Character Profile

Edea Lee, Guard Knight Captain, Eternian Army

In Bravely Default, after coming to harbor doubts about the methods of her unit, Edea fled the Eternian army and joined up with Agnes as she toured the world. Having helped save Luxendarc from impending doom and returned to Eternian’s armed forces, going so far as becoming captain of the newly formed Guard Knights, she helps out her father Braev as she works on rebuilding her country. Alongside Agnes, the new pope of the Crystal Orthodoxy, she was making progress in achieving peace between the Duchy and the Orthodoxy, but upon hearing of Agnes’ kidnapping, she heads off on her own to the various towns of Eternia in the hopes of learning more about the situation at hand.

Bandai Namco has quite a bit of new content on the way to One Piece: Super Grand Battle! X. In addition to amiibo support, two new stages are coming soon. Players will be able to battle in “Dressrosa’s Royal Palace Flower Garden” as well as “Slope To The Shore”. Both are due out this winter.

Unlike older 3DS models, the New 3DS has moved the game slot to the bottom of the system. This can unfortunately lead to some accidental removal of cartridges.

Cyber Gadget is at least releasing a new accessory in Japan tomorrow to prevent such situations. The push guards pictured above cost about 1,200 yen each.
