Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Bravely Second Producer "thinking about western version"; no plans for "For the Sequel" version; suggests future of series is up in the air

Bravely series producer Tomoya Asano recently revealed that he already has ideas for a Bravely Third, but he has now mentioned in an interview with Gamer that the next title might not necessarily be a sequel to Bravely Default and Bravely Second.

 

During the interview, Asano answered a few questions that some fans have been wondering about. When asked about whether Bravely Second will get any additional scenarios via DLC, he said that they have plans for patches, but the team hasn’t thought of anything as far as additional story content goes.

 

Bravely Default received an enhanced version in Japan titled Bravely Default: For the Sequel, which ended up being the version we got in the West, after Square Enix made several fixes and additions to the game. According to Asano, they have no plans for a For the Sequel version for Bravely Second, or anything of the sort. He states that, at the moment, they’re only thinking about the Western version of Bravely Second.

 

Next, Gamer asks if the Bravely developers could share a little more on what we can expect to see next from the series.

 

“Hmm… yes, we’re currently thinking about whether a sequel would be more appropriate or if a completely new title would be more appropriate,” Asano replies. “This is currently a hot topic among [the development team].”

 

“We’re thinking about all kinds of things, like what kind of things are requested, and getting feedback from fans,” added assistant producer Shinji Takahashi.

Really sucks living in the west if you love JRPGs "yeah we'll think about it" all the time.... still waiting on DQ7 3DS SE T.T



As pointed out by Nirolak on NeoGAF, what's interesting about this is if you compare it with what the producer was saying before the release of Bravely Second:

Planning for Bravely Third, the potential sequel to Bravely Second, is already underway, according to producer Tomoya Asano. 

“It might make you say ‘What?!’ given the timing, but I already have the concept for Bravely Third in me,” Asano told the latest issue of Famitsu. “If sales for [Bravely Second] are good enough, I’m planning to immediately submit a proposal. Please give me your support!”

 

His response has gone from "we're planning Bravely Third" to "we're thinking about whether it's viable or if we should try a new game".  That suggests, if it weren't known already, that Japanese sales of the game were disappointing.

As such, western sales of the game may be the kicker to whether the franchise continues on or not.



Please release it this year

Weren't sales of Bravely Default actually better in the west than in Japan? I'd imagine Bravely Second will be the same way, so I hope sales are satisfactory enough so the franchise can continue.

If it doesn't, riots.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I thought Square-Enix was more than satisfied with sales of Bravely Default in the West? Why would they be "thinking about it" if that were the case? Sometimes, I don't get this company. No wonder they won't release DQVII 3DS in the West.



I'm sure it will arrive in 2016. Almost every 3DS title I was looking forward to has been moved to 2016, so this won't be an exception. On the other hand, 2016 might just become the new 2013 for 3DS owners.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

hope this game gets 10 more sequels

I'm sure they will announce a western release for this game... I'd be surprised if they didn't
