Bravely Second - more details of the development process revealed
The following comments and info come from producer Tomoya Asano and character designer Akihiko Yoshida...
“There were actually several concepts, but out of all of them, the idea of ‘surpassing the previous title’ left the biggest impression. We were aware that the previous title was to get fans to like the characters and world, so we decided to have a sequel that takes place several years later, and has more to do with Luxendarc.” - Asano
- Magnolia was created during a scenario brainstorm meeting
- keywords of “people of the moon” and “returnee” came to mind
- Yoshida and the others originally thought about giving Magnolia some kind of space outfit along with bunny ear
- they then decide to go with a character who showed “adultness”
- Yoshida believes that we will see a game that is much more polished than before
- illustrators are currently working on characters and job designs
- many of them will be quite unexpected
“As we did previously, and for the sake of Japanese RPG fans, we’re developing with the goal to create a new pillar of support for Square Enix, while surpassing the previous title. I believe that it may take a little while longer until you’ll get to play the game, but we’ll be revealing new information little by little, so I hope you continue supporting us while looking forward to what’s coming.” - Asano
