Bravely Default 2 Celebrates Third Anniversary with Tease for Franchise’s Future

Tomorrow marks Bravely Default 2’s third anniversary, and producer Tomoya Asano has a special message for fans: more information about the franchise is coming “later this year”.

Celebrating the occasion with art shared on X/Twitter, Asano expressed gratitude to fans for their support and hinted at upcoming “developments” in the Bravely series.

“[Bravely] Default 2 3rd anniversary celebration!” Asano’s message, translated by Google, reads. “Many messages will be sent during the year-end and New Year project. Thank you!

“I’m sure we’ll be able to tell you about some developments in the Bravely series this year, so please keep an eye out for it,” Asano added.

To commemorate the anniversary, players can purchase Bravely Default 2 at a 50% discount. However, as of now, the game is still available at full price in the UK-facing Switch and Steam stores. The discounted offer is expected to be reflected on the anniversary date – 26th February.

“It’s a less excitable thing than Bravely Second on the whole, I’m pleased to say, the tone having been ratcheted down a notch or two until it’s more in keeping with the first game, though I can’t say I was ever particularly hooked; it’s a swash of knowing cliches that left me unmoved, the English dub’s attempt to capture some of the varying regional accents commonplace in Dragon Quest falling flat (the Japanese voice acting is thankfully always ready to hand),” Martin wrote when he reviewed Bravely Default 2 upon its release three years ago.

“I should confess, though, that my own attraction to JRPGs typically lies beyond the story and more in the systems, an area in which Bravely Default 2 excels.”
