More great news for RPG Lovers out of PAX this past week: Bravely Second, the direct sequel to Square Enix's successful Bravely Default for the Nintendo 3DS, will be hitting Japanese shelves this holiday season. It may come as something of a sudden follow up to western gamers, but Bravely Default has actually been out in Japan for two years now.
Accompanying the announcement was a brief trailer showing new locales that will, if nothing else, make you want to go replay the first title. This news also comes on the heels of Nintendo's announcement of new 3DS hardware which will also be available, in Japan, this winter. Gamers elsewhere will have to wait until next year for the 3DS hardware refresh and Bravely Second.
It's been a really great week of surprising news out of Square Enix. Hopefully, with TGS right around the corner, they keep their hot streak going!

Final Fantasy Explorers is by no means a new game. Released in Japan a little over a year ago, this quirky hybrid of Final Fantasy and Monster Hunter has drawn the curiosity of western gamers since the title's announcement. In just a few short weeks Final Fantasy Explorers will launch for the Nintendo 3DS in the United States on January...
I want that new 3DS. And this game. Square send me both you owe me.
I know. Did you see those new cities? I almost started crying but then I pulled out my 2DS, fired up BD, and then actually started crying.
Ughhh I still need to play the first. Square send me the first one, too!
It's literally the best FF since FF9. Just sayin'
Don't be absurd. XIV is the best FF since IX :p
