Bravely Second Trailer Recaps All The Jobs Thus Far

Bravely Second’s release is just around the corner, and we’ve already seen all sorts of new jobs and returning jobs from Bravely Default. Square Enix’s latest trailer for the game shares a look at all the jobs we’ve been introduced to thus far, minus the two latest.

The video starts out with a look at some of the most basic jobs, starting with the Freelancer, White Mage, Black Mage, and Knight, all some of the early jobs of Bravely Default.

Following up are some of the new jobs in Bravely Second with the Tomahawk and Wizard, but then we get to see some more jobs from the previous game with Monk, Thief, Merchant, and Time Mage.

At 1:49 they give us another look at the Exorcist that can “Undo” events that happened in combat, followed by the new “weapon master” job known as Chariot that can equip all weapons and even three at a time with its “Triple Wield” ability.

The next section shows us more fan-favorite jobs of Bravely Default with the Ranger, Valkyrie, Summoner, and Red Mage. The video also shows a bit more on the power tank of Guardian, which can switch between attackers and defenders of the party, depending on the person playing.

At 3:00 we get to see more of the Cat Master job, which producer Tomoya Asano said it was originally made just for players to have fun with, but they’re actually quite strong. Next are more familiar jobs with the Pirate, Performer, Ninja, and Swordmaster.

The Astrologian which is said to be a support role that focuses a bit more on supports and magic attacks, contrary to the Performer’s physical attack and support. The Patissier is another new support job that specializes in weakening enemies and buffing party members.

Bravely Second is slated for release in Japan on April 23, 2015 for Nintendo 3DS.

Bravely Second producer already planning Bravely Third

Planning for Bravely Third, the potential sequel to Bravely Second, is already underway, according to producer Tomoya Asano.

“It might make you say ‘What?!’ given the timing, but I already have the concept for Bravely Third in me,” Asano told the latest issue of Famitsu. “If sales for [Bravely Second] are good enough, I’m planning to immediately submit a proposal. Please give me your support!”

Outside of this, assistant producer Shinji Takahashi confirmed that Bravely Second, which is due out this Thursday in Japan, has a main story of about 50 hours, but can last over 100 hours if you level up all your jobs and go for every sub-event.

Japanese Players Are Enjoying Bravely Second, But Point Out Some Of Its Flaws

Bravely Second, Square Enix’s highlight anticipated sequel to Bravely Default, released last week in Japan, and the consumer reviews on Amazon Japan seem to indicate mixed feelings about the game.

Bravely Second is currently sitting at a 3-star rating (out of 5 stars,) which isn’t a bad score, but for the sake of comparison, other popular RPGs such as Bravely Default, Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, and Fire Emblem: Awakening are all sitting at 4 stars each. That having been said, as always, remember to take the following information with a grain of salt, as it comes from a wide variety of players with different perspectives.

“Battles, leveling up… and then more battles. That’s what makes this game fun, and I also had fun with the increased number of jobs and how it has widened the way you fight,” wrote one reviewer, who was rated the most popular among the positive reviews. “Again, by using the Consecutive Chance feature I was able to make decent profit at an early stage, and it made job leveling smoother, so that was nice.”

He goes onto mention that the composer has changed from Revo to ryo, and while he’s not a big fan of either of the two musicians, he had no complaints about the switch. As far as story goes, the reviewer states that he was pleased to see that not much has changed from the first game, and that Bravely Second has its dark moments like Bravely Default, with a cast that looks forward and never gives up in the face of adversity.

Another reviewer gave Bravely Second 5 stars for its battle system and the challenge behind the game, along with the fun that comes with combining all the different jobs and abilities together. However, he also had a few minor criticisms to share.

“On the other hand, the story, new characters, and music didn’t draw me in like the previous game (maybe I just got used to the first game). The new characters have a different feel to them, and it seems like there are many on the more serious side,” he wrote. “The music isn’t too memorable, and I don’t find myself humming the songs like I did in the first game.”

Moving on, one of the main complaints that many of the critical reviews have seem to be about the dialogue in Bravely Second. We previously reported that Bravely Second has new writers that handled the story, and it seems that this has led to some changes compared to the first game. The main complaint is about how there’s frequent use of Internet lingo, slang, and references to anime.

“There are plenty of frivolous conversations that are something like a parody that you’d see from NicoNico or 2chan,” one reviewer said about Bravely Second’s dialogue.

Another reviewer stated: “As a fan of the first game, yeah, there was a little discomfort early on. I thought to myself: ‘what is this, Neptunia?’ But after playing it and getting further, I didn’t mind such trivial matters. Most of the parody bits that [other reviewers] have been pointing out are mostly in the tutorials, and I don’t think it’s anything worth being that upset about; however, I could see it being a shock to fans of the first game, as they may view it as the worldview and mood being ruined.”

A third player stated: “I, too, felt that there was an unnecessary degree of meme parodies and slang. The first game also had a little bit of this, but I felt that this game has an unnecessary amount of it. In the end, I don’t think it’s so bad that it takes away from the game’s worth, though.”

Opinions regarding music, dialogue, story, and characters seem to vary from good to bad, but one thing just about everyone was able to agree on, is about the Square Enix Members issue.

“Register on the member’s site? What the heck is that about?” wrote a critical reviewer. “Just when I thought I could sit there and enjoy the game, it said that it was required to register on Square Enix’s Members website. This was probably the biggest instance of an unpleasant feeling I got from the game.”

This reviewer goes on to list a few things in the game that require a Square Enix Members account registered to the game. The first one, which bothered him the most, was the new version of Norende Village’s restoration, which is on the moon in Bravely Second. Unlike in Bravely Default, where you could go online to gather villagers to help out, you’ll need to register the Square Enix Members site before being able to do so in Bravely Second.

Some of the other things that also require the Members site are first-print bonus items, additional quests, and additional costumes. In other words, if you want any extra bonuses, the game kind of forces you into registering, which was never the case in Bravely Default.

While most of the complaints aren’t exactly about major problems, there do seem to be a bunch of minor nuisances that made some players feel like they took away from Bravely Second’s enjoyment. Overall, however, the game has still been received well, and it sold 100,000 copies in its first week. If word-of-mouth remains strong, it could go on to sell well in the months to come.

Details zu den Verkaufszahlen in Japan

100.047 Einheiten konnte Square Enix von Bravely Second in der Launchwoche verkaufen. Das ist deutlich weniger als die 141.529 Einheiten von Bravely Default in der ersten Verkaufswoche. Solche Zahlen sind für ein direktes Sequel nicht unbedingt außergewöhnlich. Zu deren Nachteilen gehört nämlich, dass sie vor allem aus der limitierten Käuferschaft des Vorgängers schöpfen und kaum Neukäufer ansprechen.

Aber auch Square Enix scheint sich mehr erhofft zu haben. Die Durchverkaufsrate lag laut Media Create nämlich nur bei 53,63 Prozent. Normal sind 70 bis 80 Prozent. Bei Bravely Default lag durch Durchverkaufsrate bei 85,68 Prozent. Eine große Chance hat Bravely Second nun aber mit der bevorstehenden “Golden Week”, einer Feiertagswoche in Japan, in der das Geld der Japaner traditionell ein wenig lockerer liegt. Klar scheint aber: seinen Vorgänger wird Bravely Second nicht mehr überflügeln.
