What went wrong?
being on 3DS, not gonna buy that piece of crap
People who did enjoy the soundtrack of default and hate the current one probably.
>>334520243
It may not be as good as the one of BD but isn't bad at all.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RuNHMPvaWQ
Its more of the same pretty much
You get what youd expect.
So nohting went particularly wrong
Sidequests are all recycled dungeons from sidequests in the first, the tone isn't quite as dire or dark though that's not necessarily bad for some, and the new tracks are for the majority not as good as the old tracks.
Otherwise, it's better than Default.

>first game is a succes way beyond expectations despite the low budget and lack of brand name
>instead of building up on that, they scrap the original plan for the sequel because it would have required too much effort, reduce the budget even more, recycle as much content as possible from the first game and fire the original writer and composer
>sequel is disliked and bombs
What did Square mean by this?
>>334520010
Memes.
Not even taling about the English version, the Japanese version was saturated with niconico and 2ch memes. They hated it.
>>334521876
They only didn't bring back Revo because he was too busy at the time. They fired the Steins;Gate writer guy because of the complaints about the first's story.
>>334521876
Gotta save the money for Fujoshi Fantasy XV.
>>334522263
Who complained about BD's story?
The japs?
>>334522910
Everyone who fucking played it mate
>>334522910
>he wasn't around for the massive amount of BD shitposting
Nobody liked the 5 loops with nothing to do but fight bosses.
>>334521876
Also, it seems to me like the budget was used in other areas, like making more fully-moving cutscenes instead of every cutscene being either super zoomed out with minor animation, or the stock animations in the VN-like moments, and also while they reused many of the old asterisk users I believe they were all remodeled to match the new proportions the game used. That fancy CG opening cinematic probably cost good money as well.
>>334522910
Japs and westerners alike over the story hinging almost entirely on poor communication between characters, and also the loops.
>>334523103
Those weren't the writers fault.
They just wanted a 80 hours game despite the low budget so they recycled a fuckload of content.
>>334520010
I briefly thought about buying a 3DS once. Then I saw some gameplay. Fuck that pixelated mess, call me once Nintendo releases hardware that's arrived in this century.
>what went wrong
CUT
CONTENT
>>334520010
the fact that I thought that motherfucker on that pic was a qt anime grill but its not
>>334523615
BD looks perfectly fine m8.
>>334520010
I'm enjoying it so far. As much as I enjoyed Bravely Default. So is my friend, who best BD a couple hours before it was released.
>>334523670
Why would you even want more than 4 playable characters in a game like this?
>>334523671
He can be a cute anime girl, if you let him.
>>334523670
>pixiv
Though I almost wish the party had been Yew, Magnolia, Janne, and Rifa, with the Default party joining in the second half The Lost Age style.

>>334523786
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>334523980
You didn't want the party from the demo?
>>334524109
>pixiv
What's your point?
>Yew, Magnolia, Janne, and Rifa
>Rifa
Who?
Should I just return my collector's edition? It seems like most people don't give a shit about this game.
>>334520010
Changing the writer, the new writer team turned the suppose new MC, magnolia, into a bland bitch that only cares for the new MC's dick.
>>334524210
Yes?
It's faithful to the concept arts.
You know the game is going for a old school FF artstyle right?
>>334524210
>>334524524
Someone tell these crazy Japanese folks about antialiasing, that'll blow their minds.
>>334524285
Even if I did, how has that anything to do with cut content?
>>334520601
That sounds like a poor imitation of Revo's work.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLBTIUzPpEQ
Here's a comparison of Revo's music. Much better.
>>334524731
I like the regular battle theme better in BS.
>MFW i was looking forward for this game because MC Magnolia and the ba'al
>Then magnolia wasn't the MC anymore and the ba'al are just a minor plot
Fuck, why they changed the writer?!
I feel so sorry for this series
The first game was super hampered by the repeating bullshit but what it wanted to be shone threw, especially with the characters. It had some of the most potential of a new jrpg
But the sequel is just a mess, every decision just seems bad like bringing back old party members and making them complete jokes. Why did they rush this and change the writer?
>>334524285
Saying cut content implies that is official concept artwork and at one point Janne was planned as a full-time party member. From what I can tell, that's fanart. Please correct me if so though.
Rifa is the three-star student girl from Al-Khampis. Studying Ba'als, is with the party in the first Ba'al encounter. Was going to travel with the cavaliers in the demo but Magnolia stole her spot because they were not told who exactly they had to meet with.
>>334524921
Magnolia was never going to be the MC. What changed if anything was Tiz wasn't the MC again.
>>334520010
Edea and Tiz are now unnecessary background characters
And the magnolia x Yew is forced boring shit
I was hyped for BS, I thought it was going to be about Magnolia fighting Ba'als. Then when more information was released the more I lost interesting.
When Edea was confirmed a 4th party member who returns with sidequests that rehash the bosses we already fought 5 times in the first game. I decided to not play BS ever.
Pic related is the only thing that matters from this piece of shit, fuck everything else.
>>334524921
Ba'al story picks up after the Kaiser Oblivion arc.
>>334525512
>had to shove Edea into the shot
Lightning syndrome
>>334525656
key word: MINOR PLOT
>>334520010
Nothing, it's better than the first one.
>That entire final area before the final boss
>Have to stop every two seconds to listen to Altair prattle on about his waifu
>Everything they did is conveniently what Magnolia and Yew did together throughout the game
>To further emphasise the point they literally use whited-out models of Yew and Magnolia for Altair and Vega as humans
>Well at least we get one more tent conversation before the boss, I'm sure they will have something meaningful to say
>Haha food antics
Fucking kill me for ever being hyped over this garbage.
Is the gameplay as fun as in the first game?
That is all that matters.
>>334525183
>fan art
Nah
>Rifa is the three-star student girl from Al-Khampis
Oh now I remember. She was a cute
>>334525772
Why was Yew even a thing? No one cares about him and if they were going to just make it half the old cast anyway then give us them all (which is hard for obvious reasons but they bullshitted Tiz already)
I really wish they had instead done more of a FF thing and been a new world each game or just at least less connected
>The transition from Chapter 1 to chapter is Amy being able to snipe Yew in the shoulder from literally another continent
Even by anime standards that was pushing the line.
>>334526093
because he's the brother of the villain and the son of the guy who caused the plague and saving Agnes is his job.
That's like complaining why Tiz was the main character of the first game.
>>334526026
The filename is from pixiv, it's literally fanart. Looks like the artist deleted it, though.
>>334526359
>That's like complaining why Tiz was the main character of the first game.
no it isn't, I don't thing you understand my post at all
The point is the old cast over shadow the new (who are bland in comparison) so either go all new and try to make them work better or go all old which as I said is difficult but it wouldn't be more bullshit than lots of other stuff in this series
>>334520010
Terrible localization.
>>334526182
that class has an ability that gives you 100% accuracy anon, at that point it's some gae bolg shit
>>334523670He should've been a girl.
>>334526593
>implying any character could be more bland than Tiz
now I know you are just shitposting
The only good thing about Second is the slight improvements to the combat and graphics...or artstyle or ehatever you want to call it.
The music is a massive stepdown, half of it is rehashed from Default and anything new is completely forgettable
Plot is total ass. You'd think they were taking the piss out of every anime trope you can think of but no. They were completely serious with the story.
The lack of porn of that cutie.
>That anon's ending where Agnes becomes corrupted and Tiz have to choose between her or saving the world
Even if its the same twist than the first game , the ending would be better than the one we got
Haven't played this, but do Tiz and Agnes finally live happily ever after? I was mad at BD's ending for this.
A shitty sequel to a shitty game, everything went completely right.
>>334527986
I'm alright with happy endings but fuck I wanted to throw up at the end of Second.
Literally no one other than Anne and Providence and some faceless mooks die. I guess the Kaiser as well if you consider death.
At least Default had you killing others and there was a lot lost by the end, made it more bittersweet...oh wait most of them return for no reason or explanation making that pointless.
No Revo
Shoehorning half the old party back into the party instead of having the team stay Magnolia + the three musketeers
Not learning their lesson about rehashing from BD
Retarded localization changes
My interest died the moment I learned Tiz and Edea were party members again.
>>334526569
>everything posted on pixiv is original artwork
There is a reason it got taken down.
>>334528239
it's implied that they marry since Agnes tells Tiz that she wants to change her last name to Arrior if that's okay with him.
>>334527071
I agree, the only thing better would be Yew as the girl tempting Janne.
>>334528576
they're both such fucking betas, they're perfect for eachother
>game is 85% reused assets
That was what killed it for me
>>334528635
Yew looked like a 10/10 trap at first but than they fixed his hair.
I can stand the re-used assets.
But it was butchered to much in localization and I can't really support that.
>>334529549
What did they change in the localization
>>334529064
He still looks like a trap thoughits why Janne is probably gay
I need good battle quotes for specials.
POST EM FAGGGOTS!
>>334530001
Lots of costumes where altered, even costumes that weren't that revealing where covered, all neutral solutions to quests where removed, any option that would have caused a character to die, the native american being replaced by a cowboy.
