One month ago, the official Japanese “Bravely” series Twitter account promised some big news for the series’ 4th anniversary. Today, a new game called “Bravely Default: Fairy’s Effect” was announced. The game will soon enter into a limited-capacity closed beta test. Further details were not announced, including which platform the game will be on, but it seems likely that this will be a smartphone game.

Keep in mind that this does not mean the end of the series on 3DS or Nintendo hardware in general. In Japan, both a smartphone and a web browser game were released between Bravely Default and Bravely Second, so a spin-off title on different hardware is nothing unusual. The title of this game also doesn’t seem to imply that it’s a sequel to Bravely Second.

– 200 more than the original game
– Monsters from newer titles like Dragon Quest X and Hoshi no Dragon Quest will appear in great numbers, as well as completely original monsters
– Up until now, there have been good fields and bad fields for ridable monsters, but in Joker 3 Professional, that notion is negated

– Can also ride giant monsters

– Just like when riding a normal size monster, you can ataack enemies while riding a giant monster, as well as utilize its large size to trample monsters wandering about
– New areas have been added that only those aiming to be the strongest can enter
– Many new adventures await players in these new areas
– Somewhat different monsters from what we’ve seen so far wander about the savage lands of the planet
– Nochorin, who lives with the Nochora Clan in Break World, will become the player’s “partner” and travel with him on this adventure
– Nochorin not only provides a variety of help in the field, he’s also a reliable partner who participates in battle
– Various elements have been added on the system side to make things speedier
– Story Shortcuts – The basic story of Joker 3 Professional is the same as Joker 3, but there is a now a shortcut function that lets you advance the story to specific scenes
– Can look back on story scenes through a synopsis
– Speedier Movement – Compared to the original game, the movement speed on the field has significantly increased
– Make Battles Faster – Speed battles were in the original game, but now you can also use the feature during Wi-Fi and local battles
– Import your monster data from the original game
– If you have save data from the original game, you’ll be able to import data at a maximum of 10 monsters a day at any time
– Your monsters’ skills, size, and even their coloring will be imported

Square Enix is seemingly ending the Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker series. With Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3, which launches in Japan next February, no additional games will be created. The latest issue of V Jump mentions that this latest title will be the final adventure and “grand finale.”

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional will be a compilation of sorts. Over 700 monsters will be included in the game. The original Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 came out in March.

The Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker series started out on DS a decade ago. In North America and Europe, the first two titles were localized, though the third one isn’t available in English currently.
