I'm so excited for this. It's one of the games i'm most hyped for now. I hope localization comes quickly.

The addition of gunner jobs is pretty awesome. I'm hoping for a lot of new classes.

Crossposting my rant:

Re: Bravely Second

While I am on one hand excited for the sequel itself, the continuation of BDFF's story and so on, on the other I'm already disappointed by the utterly underwhelming battle music shown so far in the demo. When I first played BDFF's demo, the music hit me like the metaphorical truck, and the composition was incredible all the way until the end. Every single battle BGM was great in its own way.

BSEL's battle themes are so far have been... boring. Uninspired. Dull, compared to the first games'. And yes, I've listened to the new track after the Feb 4 update. They're uninteresting generic tracks that I would place in average RPGs that would go by unnoticed for their mediocrity. I checked 2ch and other game matome sites and lo and behold, my opinion was not an uncommon one. When a not insignificant portion of your players feel that just reusing the BGMs from the first game would be a better option, that does not bode well.

While I'm sure supercell ryo's success as a vocaloid music producer is not unfounded, I don't believe he has what it takes to compose an iconic game soundtrack yet. At least, not one that deserves the Bravely label, because the precedent set before him raised the bar so high it's unfair towards anyone but Revo. Instead of settling for ryo, the dev team could have waited until Revo was free again to compose for them, but instead what we have now is a step down from BDFF. Of course, I could just be talking out of my ass based on the impressions I got from the demo's 2 battle BGMs, but demos are nothing if not a sample of what your final product should be. And quite frankly, I would rather mute the current music and instead blare BDFF's score on my speakers while playing. Disappointing, to say the least.

I wouldn't say it's bad, but I agree that it isn't iconic.

Oh well. At least our home is on the moon now. Has there been any word on new job classes outside of gunner?

Not really, other than taking guesses at what Magnolia's costumes are supposed to be.

Whether it be worth anything or not, Famitsu gave the game straight 9s across the board (total score of 36).

The Japanese release is this Thursday.

Wow this topic reminds me I got the game 3/4 of a year ago. And how disappointed I was. Agnes figure was the best part of the BSEL, just like the figures were for Derp Langrisser remake.

I hear the early parts of the game are a little weird and oddly include some Japanese memes/references that feel out of place. I also hear that you have to sign into a Squeenix account or something early on which already sounds annoying.

However, I heard after that, it picks up and becomes as amazing as the first game. I guess i'll see when we finally receive it over here.
