European Bravely Second website open

Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

Bravely Second’s European release date of February 26th is fast approaching and fans already got a taste of the game with the release of the demo last week. Today, Nintendo opened up the game’s official website.

While the website doesn’t really offer any new information, it’s a nice and fairly comprehensive overview of the game’s content and features, its world, characters and so on. Still, I’d recommend you check out at least two specific parts of it: the advanced techniques section which features two brief gameplay clips showcasing the Brave & Default and Bravely Second features, and the Jobs section which lists nearly all of the jobs found in the game, including almost all of the new ones (save for, incidentally, the controversial “Hawkeye” job).

Europe: Download the Bravely Second demo, get 10% off the full game

Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS eShop, News | 2 Comments

The demo for Bravely Second will be available on the European eShop later today. Chances are you were going to get it anyway if you’re interested in the full game, at the very least because of the in-game bonuses which are unlocked if you transfer data over from the demo. Now there’s another compelling reason: if you download the demo, the full game will cost you 10% less if you buy it via the Nintendo eShop. Unless you’re getting the game’s Special Edition, this is a pretty good deal.

The offer is valid until March 10th; the game launches on February 26th.
