RPG Site: "Since being announced at the 2019 Game Awards, Bravely Default II has been highly anticipated by fans. From the first few trailers, it appeared to be both a departure from the very beloved Bravely Default while also carrying on its spirit in a brand new world. The developers have also been very open to addressing criticism received from the first public demo, something I always love to see. I’ve had 10 hours with the game so far, and while I’m generally very positive on the game at the moment, that’s not really enough time to form a concrete perspective on it - especially when you consider how Bravely games tend to throw some massive curveballs in their second halves. Here are five things I love about Bravely Default II so far, and two things I’m less than sure about."
A message was posted on the official Bravely Default account on X (as spotted by user Stealth), to celebrate the third anniversary of the latest game in the series, Bravely Default 2.
The message, written by producer Tomoya Asano, suggests that a new announcement related to the series will be coming later in 2024.
That would be great. I doubt the Switch successor will come this year, probably Spring of '25 (bc of rumors). But that would line up if they made an announcement on Bravely Default III in the Fall. Maybe a cross-platform title?
Yeah it was originally planned for this year but it seems to have been moved to 2025. I wonder when they will announce it though. Anyway I still need to play Bravely II (do already own it).
@Nyxus You know, I still only ever played the demo of Bravely Default II, and loved it. It was just one of those things where I was playing so many other things at the time it came out. Next time I see it on sale I'll pick it up. I'm hardcore on the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters at the moment. I'm really loving them, particularly bc it's the first time that the classics have included actual orchestrated music.
I'm really hoping the Switch successor is backwards compatible, because I have quite a backlog for the system, including several RPGs like Bravely II, Octopath Traveler I and II and Fire Emblem Engage.
Nice. I really enjoyed Bravely Default 2. Surprised they didn't port 1 and Bravely Second at some point.
I'm surprised that didn't happen either, seems like an obvious choice, but then again, I hear Bravely Default 2 didn't do very well.

I hope it's not as repetitive as the first one.. That was a bummer for me I had no idea what was going on when I had to restart the games a second time, then a third forth and fifth.
Combat is great and strategic !
