Bravely Default 2: February Release Date Announced

Bravely Default 2 will be released on February 26, 2021. Announced in today's Nintendo Mini Direct Partner Showcase, the JRPG sequel got a set of explanatory trailers, showing off character classes, story and more. Square Enix also announced that it's taken onboard feedback from the game's demo earlier this year, following 20,000 survey responses. The headline changes are based around the game's difficulty options, and its controls. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/26/the-first-12-minutes-of-bravely-default-2-gameplay-demo-version"] We enjoyed that demo, calling it "a good ol' fashioned turn-based RPG with some novel systems", although also mentioned that the difficulty level would take getting used to. Pre-orders for the game have opened today. This was far from the only announcement in today's not-so-Mini Direct, and we've got everything announced in one handy place.
