Square Enix recently revealed Bravely Default II at the Game Awards II to great fanfare across social media. Since then, producer Tomoya Asano and composer Revo have shared special messages about the upcoming game.

Tomoya Asano: 

We finally were able to announce it! For those who’ve been waiting all this time, I apologize, and I’d like to thank you. People reacted so loudly that all our staff are pumped up to work on this game. This account will be passed to Producer Takahashi and the PR team to handle for a while, but please look after us going forward as well.

Revo 

To all fans, I’m back. I’m happy to be able to participate in this hakoniwa-style world again. The graphics have kept that sort of warm, hand-crafted look, but in even beautiful graphics. For the music, in order to better represent the atmosphere, I’m tackling this task with all my courage. The music used in the teaser trailer was grand orchestral music, but there are also band-style musical pieces that charges forward passionately, intricate traditional-sounding music pieces, and a wide range of music that may sound nostalgic, but also fresh at the same time. I can only say that I hope you can play the game as soon as possible. Please look forward to it!
