I hope this leads to a Bravely Second remaster. Also while I really didn't care for Bravely Default 2, I hope the Bravely series continues. Like the article says, there's a lot of its DNA in the Octopath games.... but I don't really like those (mainly because it doesn't really feel like a full story, just multiple smaller stories that other characters kind of just guest star in, but also I don't like the HD-2D art style, I don't know how hot a take that is) and would much rather see the Bravely series get more love. Since this was only a 20 minute preview, I'm curious to see how they'll integrate / reinterpret some of the 3DS features like StreetPass into this one or spoiler[if they'll try to do anything interesting during the true final boss fight if you don't buy the camera].

Also I really hope they cut down spoiler[the repeated trips through the multiverse in the final act of the game but unfortunately I don't see that happening].

Of all the games I've played that use this Brave/Default (or similar,) mechanic, the original Bravely Default is by far my least favorite, and that's all down to the final act.

I do hope the series continues though, and if this remaster is being used to measure interest, then I have my fingers crossed for it.

I'm glad I didn't know about the game's certain later twist, because had I known, I might have not played it. But I had so much fun with the game's mechanics I actually didn't mind spoiler[doing a lot of the same stuff over again]. It's still a justifiably divisive aspect, buuut it kinda works out anyway if you are in the right mood.

It took me a long time to get around to finish Bravely Default the first time because, while I enjoyed the game, the grinding was tiring and spoiler[the repeated world section was painful, especially since I stupidly decided to battle every asterisk holder again and the vampire kicked my ass. If I buy the Switch 2 version one day I think I won't bother fighting everyone every time...]

I really love the music of the game (and the composer) so for me the rhythm minigame is like... a big draw for me. I probably wouldn't consider buying it again if it didn't have that lol

I always saw the cinematic character designs of Agnes, so I never knew that the in-game characters are more like Lego people or a sort of chibi design.
