Square Enix released new art to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Bravely Second: End Layer, and producer Tomoya Asano shared a message with fans. The Bravely Second: End Layer 10th anniversary art was illustrated by character designer Kaori Nishio.
“Today marks the 10th anniversary of Bravely Second’s release in Japan! Congratulations and thank you! The other day, I rewatched the trailer for Bravely Second and it just looks like so much fun! It would be great to be able to play it on modern hardware too, but there’s Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster first, isn’t there? I hope you’re looking forward to it! m_ _m,” said Asano on X (formerly Twitter).
Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, and it includes updated HD graphics and brand-new content, including the Luxencheer Rhythm Catch and Ringabel’s Panic Cruise mini-games. The UI was redesigned for a single screen, and there are some new quality of life features, including fast-forward and online compatibility.
The first Bravely Default game released on October 11, 2012 in Japan as Bravely Default: Flying Fairy. The success of Bravely Default lead to the creation of the Bravely series, which includes 2015’s Bravely Second: End Layer and 2021’s Bravely Default II. In Bravely Second: End Layer, players experience a story that happens directly after the events of the original Bravely Default.
Network servers for Bravely Default and Bravely Second: End Layer were permanently taken offline on June 30, 2023. Online features such as Net Friend Invites and sending Nemeses are no longer be available in both games. Fortunately, both titles are playable to the very end, and StreetPass functionally remains available.
