My guess with the name is it's going to be a completely new world and story. To compare it to FF naming conventions, I think Bravely Second was like a Bravely Default I-2, and now Bravely Default II is moving on to be its own thing.
Remember when Nintendo wanted their own Final Fantasy with The Last Story.
Well time to thanks Asano then.

Bravely Default is a top 5 JRPG to me. Bravely Second didn't click with me, but I couldn't be more excited for this. Can't wait.

New copies of Bravely Second is available on Amazon for about 18 USD right now if anyone skipped it and wants to "catch up". (calling out myself here).

Worth mentioning since older series games tend to skyrocket in price soon after new games are announced, especially with RPGs.

So, either they're counting in binary or those are letters rather than numerals and will eventually be revealed to be part of something like "Impossible Infinity".

The second in Bravely second is more the time definition rather than the number.

It's just that kind of series, this is probably bravely default 3 but they won't admit it immediately.

Not sure what to think about this one. I enjoyed most of the time I spent with the first one, but I couldn't finish it, due to that plot contrivance that I'm pretty sure stopped a lot of people from finishing it. I never even bothered with the second one due to hearing it got hit with the censorship stick even harder than the first game. So I can't say I'm a huge fan or the series or anything. That said It's good to see that an old schoolish JRPG is coming down the pipeline. Hopefully they don't screw it up.

I hate the name, as Second is a direct sequel but this news is great of course. I hope that the team finally learns how to write though. Their scripts started on solid ground with 3D Dot Game Heroes but that was about it and the other team´s Octopath Traveler was a total misfire writing-wise.

I'm convinced someone high up at Square Enix pushes for these type of confusing titles on purpose.

I'm in. I loved my time with Bravely Default and Bravely Second, though I finished neither. I'd prefer another Octopath, which I did finish and liked a bit more, but this should be good.

Man those graphics are terrible. Why couldn't they make it look like Octopath Traveler.

I was in until I saw this. There is no excuse for chibi designs on a Switch.

The name isn't that confusing. Bravely Second was a Direct sequel. This is the second game in the series with a new cast, new world, new story, most likely.

FUCKING YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS

I just hope it doesn't ignore or retcon the events of Bravely Second, given the name, because I loved it to death

I love chibi styles, but I need to see more. I want more FFIX Zidane/Vivi and less FFXV Pocket. We've yet to see where this will fall

I was confused at first and thought they were bringing both games to switch. This should even better news.

The best thing about Second was that it seemed they learned from their mistake by deleting Default from the title. It's all rather upsetting but I'll try to keep an open mind.

I don't know why people are having such a hard time with this. Second was like a "gaiden" version. This is a full on sequel.

Like many others here I thought Bravely Second was Bravely Default II. With all the Bravely teasing in the past, I thought they would port the 3DS games to the Switch. I never thought that we would be getting a sequel! :0 Good to see Revo is back.

Played the first game and I got midway through it. The gameplay was a complete chore to play so I gave up. Hopefully it will be more playable this time around.
