If you haven’t been keeping up with the Bravely series, now might be the time for a refresher. The franchise started out on Nintendo 3DS with Bravely Default, which was followed up with a direct sequel, Bravely Second. Now Square-Enix is readying a new game in the franchise, Bravely Default II, for Switch this year.
In an issue of Famitsu, Tomoya Asano (leader of the Asano Team) and Masashi Takahashi (producer) commented on how they settled on the final name. We heard a bit about this previously, but now we have the full explanation.
As translated by Nintendo Everything’s Oni Dino, the two shared the following:

Square Enix files new trademark for The World Ends with You in Japan
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
On June 1, Square Enix applied for a new The World Ends with You trademark in Japan. It was officially made public today.
Normally we don’t feel that trademarks filings are noteworthy – particular when it comes to Nintendo, since the company regularly covers its basis for its older systems and games. However, this situation is a bit different.
For one thing, Square Enix doesn’t seem to constantly file trademarks for its older products like Nintendo. We’ve also seen that The World Ends with You is being featured in key art for the upcoming Anime Expo Lite 2020. The World Ends with You: Final Remix also came to Switch a couple of years ago, so perhaps Square Enix has more plans in store for the IP.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition was announced back in September 2018, but the game still has yet to release. Most recently, Square Enix announced a delay last December, pushing the title to this summer. We now have a new release date.
In Japan, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition is slated for August 27. That should translate to August 25 or August 28 in the west.
Square Enix won’t hold online event to announce new games despite E3 cancellation
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
E3 2020 is undoubtedly the biggest gaming event of the year, especially when it comes to new announcements. But after the expo was cancelled due to the coronavirus, publishers were left scrambling and have been forced to reshuffle their plans. We’ve started to see some companies regroup with online events such as Ubisoft, but Square Enix won’t be included in that.
The company has confirmed that it won’t be hosting an online event to unveil upcoming releases for this year’s fiscal releases. Square Enix explained that making assets in time has become difficult because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Square Enix previously said it was “exploring other options” to share news about its games. It has now decided to announce new titles on an individual basis.
