Another round of Bravely Second details have in from today’s live stream event. We’ve rounded up the information below.
– They recorded a certain character’s song recently; keeping it a secret for now
– The asterisk holder for the Exorcist job is named Geist – Bloody Geist
– He’s voiced by Takumi Yamazaki
– The designer for the Exorcist is Yokoyan
– The buster ships are used to combat Maou in space
– The more you have, the lower you can drop a Maou’s level so that they’ll be beatable by your party
– You can team up with friends’ buster ships to do this
– This feature will be added into an update for the demo which will also include the Exorcist job as well
– Maou battles will still use the Revo track because they had him compose it to be the main Maou theme from the get go
– Edea will be back in Bravely Second
– Asterisk holder of the Tomahawk job, Aimy Matchlock, speaks with a distinct Hiroshima accent
– While talking about her dialect, the developers asked themselves how the localization will be handled in this regard, since you can’t really replicate the Hiroshima accent in English
– Asano then joked that they’re doing everything they can to give the localization translators as hard of a time as possible
– Magnolia Arch speaks “fluent” English
– Everyone on the moon speaks fluent English, which is where Magnolia is from

Exorcist job revealed for Bravely Second
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 4 Comments
Square Enix revealed a new job for Bravely Second during today’s live stream for the game known as the Exorcist. Here’s what we know:
– 4 party members shown playing as the Exorcist job
– Can turn back time with the “Never Happened” ability
– Go back up to 3 turns
– Ex: showed Nikolai taking some damage, and Magnolia used the “Never Happened HP” and it reverted his health back to what it was before he took damage
– This ability can also work when players get incapacitated
– As such, Exorcist is considered more of a healing class
– Since you can use it on other characters, it’ll come in handy, as they’ll be able to charge up with Defaults while always keeping their health the way it was
– The cost for Never Happened is relatively low
– Other Exorcist abilities will be revealed in the future
– Square Enix also showed the Asterisk Holder for the Exorcist job
– He’s a pretty creepy character, and was shown taking a slash attack, only to have it recover, as if it never even happened
– Illustration above made by yokoyan, who has worked on several occasions with Bravely Default composer revo on cover art, and more
On another note, Square Enix confirmed that Bravely Second will include roughly 30 jobs.

Yuji Horii teases 30th anniversary plans for Dragon Quest
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 3 Comments
Yuji Horii, the creator of Dragon Quest, shared a message on the official Dragon Quest X website to ring in 2015. Horii touched on what’s planned for the franchise in the near and far future as Dragon Quest’s 30th anniversary approaches.
The message in full states:
Happy New Year, everyone. There is just one year to go until the 30th anniversary of Dragon Quest.
In February, we will release Dragon Quest Heroes, and in March, Theatrhythm Dragon Quest. Additionally, while still to be announced, there are many projects in planning as we head towards the 30th anniversary. And then there’s the release of Dragon Quest X Version 3.0 in the spring. Together alongside our fans and development staff, I hope we keep making the series even bigger and better!
Life is a role-playing game. Here’s to many more years to come of Dragon Quest!
Given that Dragon Quest’s 30th anniversary is next year, that could be when we hear about the series’ next core entry – Dragon Quest XI.
