Bravely Default sequel planned

Producer Tomoya Asano is currently reaching out to RPG fans for feedback and suggestions for next game via online survey.

48 Comments

Update: This post originally did not have the link to the news source via Siliconera. The article has been rectified with said link.

While Bravely Default has yet to be released in English, the game's producer, Tomoya Asano, is already talking about a sequel.

Anyone clamoring for a Bravely Default sequel, even with the first game not out in English?
Anyone clamoring for a Bravely Default sequel, even with the first game not out in English?

According to a Siliconera post, the producer recently created a list filled with 100 suggestions and changes requested by fans on the official Square Enix page for the title. Users can pick between five answers – Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree, Indifferent – for each of the suggestions. These range from making the 3DS friend system from the first game easier to use, to adding more detail and explanation for each job in the game's job system.

The online survey is open until December 20. Bravely Default has garnered positive international reviews, and has been a big hit in Japan, according to local sales charts.

For more information on Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, check out GameSpot's extensive preview on the title.

There is no doubt that this will be localized for Western audiences. Fire Emblem and Etrian Odyssey 4 will be out in March 2013 for the 3DS. Even Soul Hackers will be out in Spring 2013 according to Atlus.

I think Bravely Default will follow suit in the Fall 2013 as Square Enix needs more time to localize and market the game.

I think this game is going to get localized. Square just registered a domain name for "All the Bravest." I honestly think this is going to be the NA/EU title for Bravely Default, which is an awful name anyway. Bring it on Square. Me Wanty.

I dont know whats sadder, that SE best game in probably a decade is still not confirmed outside of Japan, or that SE is turning into yet another JRPG maker that cant make anything decent outside of handheld titles.

I wish I could vote, but I haven't played the first one as the game hasn't released in the WEST. I would love it if they released it soon.

Games like this really have me wanting more JRPG's localized and I'm quite looking forward to Xillia and Ni No Kuni next year but we just haven't had that standout true JRPG game on consoles this gen.

Eternal Sonata, FF XIII, Lost Odyssey, The Last Story, Star Ocean and Graces F were all okay, but not the FF VI, X, Persona or Chrono Trigger of our gen tbh. Xenoblade probably comes closest though.

Just ordered Ni No Kuni actually. I could do with more classic JRPG's in my collection. Hybrids like Disgaea, Valkyria Chronicles and even ones with western sensibilities like Dark Souls are fine, but another game like Final Fantasy X or a Persona 5 would be awesome.

That's nice and all, but I'd like to see the first game here before they start talking about sequels. Don't want another Xilia on our hands. >.>

@SNESNOSTALGIA2 I'm pretty sure a lot of people state this everyday. Unfortunately Square will run the way they want to run. It didn't work with Capcom, it wouldn't work with Square.

@gokuofheaven this company has been run into the ground - artistically speaking they are spinning their wheels. It's so crazy I don't get it all their decisions seem uninspired

Seriously, that thing is going really slow. They need help.

It's just a matter of time before the US version gets announced. I am quite certain they are working on the translation right now.

Is the 3DS the most RPG heavy platform available? Serious question. I don't have one, but I may have to remedy that.

The first is easily my #1 most wanted 3DS game. It and any sequels are pretty much a guaranteed buy.

@Crossel777 Square trademarked "All the Bravest" in North America and Europe and registered its web domain a few weeks ago, I think it's a good chance that this is the English name of the game.

@logicalfrank @badboy @Crossel777 Yeah, I like the original title too. But it's more likely they come up with a title change for the US release. Too bad, eh?

@JFERNANDEZ84 @badboy @Crossel777 I actually can't read Japanese. What I meant is one of the reasons that I've been excited about Bravely Default is because of its title so I am hoping they do not change it for the US or EU release--though I suppose I will remain excited at this point even if they do.

@JFERNANDEZ84 @badboy @Crossel777 I really hope it's the sequel. One of the things I've found most alluring about Bravely Default is it's odd title.
