Bravely Second was a mistake

Wanna know why Bravely Default II is called like that? Because It is a partial apology for second.

Yes, the producer admits that it was a mistake and II will bury it.

Let me list you the things wrong with second.
>Not Revo (although it was because he was busy).
>Magnolia is not the MC, instead is a cocksucking bimbo.
>Ba'als are irrelevant.
>All the food jokes.
>Yew and his fucking family who suddenly is important to the previous plot.
>Another fucking evil fairy...who happens to be the first game dairy from the opening and ending.
In general the whole game was a fuck up, the only good thing is that it game Tiz and Agnes a happy ending.

Maybe I should have done this thread in the morning.

And yet the gameplay was amazing and its hard mode was literally one of the best experiences I've had with any modern JRPG.
That might also explain why 2's demo felt so weak in gameplay, though.

They specifically said they broke the combat in the demo to stress test somethings.

Second was a better game than Default.

People aren't complaining about the difficulty, but the fundamental changes to the turn system.

That's not what it says.
He says it's called BD II to indicate that it's a new game, that new players can jump into.
Yes, that makes no sense.

Don't give me the FEW fags argument, good gameplay means shit if the characters and story are shit. Look Fallout, it always had shit gameplay but the characters, story and interactions were so god-like that overshadowed the bad gameplay full of bugs, come Fallout 76 which is just gameplay and...well, everyone knows what happened.

Fallout 76 has shit gameplay too.

>Don't give me the FEW fags argument, good gameplay means shit if the characters and story are shit
Are you seriously advocating for the story in a Warriors game? What the fuck?

Well, the "choose actions individually" thing really gave me massive stress, it made everything so fucking slow, bring back the old system were you choose all the commands before the action starts.

>the ski rink is symbolic of a ski rink
Second was like a japanese version of Yiik
Sure the combat was more balanced but literally every other aspect of the game save some dungeons actually having puzzles was far worse

Sorry, i should have explained better the FEW situation: apparently it has "godlike ganeplay", one of the best in a mushou ever, but novody but FEWfags care because the characters selection is so Fucking SHIT, only three games, with two extras who don't take part in the plot and were obviously last second additions and all those clones, HW has 4 links and NONE has clone gameplay.

Sorry but what are you talking about in your quote?

My point was that gameplay, good or shit, doesn't mean anything if the characters/plot are shit.

I played BD2 demo and it was awful. Graphics are now ugly smartphone 3D instead of the wonderful 2D art of the first game, the characters all suck, the UI strangely went from nice and tidy to awful, combat is once again shitty "see enemies on the overworld and hit them for initiative".
Basically it looked like every low budget JRPG instead of Bravely Default.

I hope this ends up being some kind of ruse, I really enjoy the characters from Default and would be really sad if they never get to show up again just cause they didn't like second

It's a fucking videogame
I enjoyed the plot in Second regardless, not as much as the first game's though it had more Edea and that was enough for me, but the story is such a miniscule part of the overall experience this argument is fucking retarded. Some people might stand subpar or even outright bad gameplay for a story, sure, but that's because they're absolute retards with brains rotted by modern entertainment and pop culture that can't even think of a better alternative. Overall story amounts to such a small percentage of your overall playtime in any videogame that isn't a VN I'll never understand absolute autists like you that actively play videogames exclusively for their mediocre stories.

>It's a fucking videogame
user, have you forgotten where we are? Also is manly over how butchered Magnolia was and how shit Yew is, BD had some doujins made, BS? NONE.

I want to fuck Magnolia

well she's apparently not canon anymore

>BD had some doujins made, BS? NONE.
How is that relevant in the least, you pathetic coomer?

COPE

You can gauge a hame popularity by their fanstuff production.

based on what

Bd2 looks so fucking off.
Colors are like in hdr mixed with color on 100%. The characters feel off. The battle system with the non turnbased and the enemy can just battle feels really off.

the fact that they blatantly regret making second and almost abandoned the IP over it

That doesn't make it non-canon, despite your hate-boner for BS.

I don't have a hate boner for it I thought it was decent I'm just reading the interview that was posted

Bravely Second's approach to choices in job decisions was a nice change of pace in progression, as well as tweaking pre existing ones while making unusual jobs made it pretty excellent in terms of gameplay. The weaker music is the only true sin of Second.

Not him but, while the interview doesn't mention that they will make it not canon, it does sounds like they are going to ignore it's existence.

What about Magnolia being reduced to a cock sucking bimbo? Or the little shit of Yew?

FFXIII was a mistake
FFXIV was a mistake
FFXV was a mistake
KH3 was a mistake
All of squeenix is just "let's make a terrible game to our beloved franchises!"

Magnolia said exactly 7 lines before Bravely Second. Any personality you attempt to glean from just that is going to be wrong, and you're a fool for trying to do so

But BD wasn't made by SE, they just published it. They also cut the budget of BS.

Same shit.
