Square Enix and Team Asano have shared new artwork celebrating the third anniversary of Bravely Default II, the latest console entry of the franchise. A brief message was also shared alongside this illustration, teasing news this year.
The message has been translated below via our team’s Ryuji:
Thank you all so much for the messages you sent during the New Year project we did. We will be able to tell you more about the Bravely series this year, so please keep your eyes peeled! [Illustration by Yoshiura-san]
Team Asano previously teased multiple announcements for 2024, so it appears Bravely will be included as part of these announcements.
The first Bravely Default and its neglected direct sequel, Bravely Second, are both stuck on the 3DS, so it’d be neat to see them make the modern move one day. The latest entry in the franchise is Bravely Default II, now available on Nintendo Switch and PC. Bravely Default II introduces four new Heroes of Light as they embark on a mission guided by the elemental crystals.
Like Bravely Default and Bravely Second, Bravely Default II features a battle system that allows players to choose different ways to approach a fight. During encounters, players can decide when to attack, known as Brave, or hold back and wait for the best moment to strike, known as Default.
Building up actions also allows players to unleash powerful attacks against enemies, including skills and magic. The game also includes a job class system where players can switch their characters’ abilities to fit their playstyle.
