Bravely Second: End Layer Reveals 8th Anniversary Artwork

Square Enix has shared new commemorative artwork for Bravely Second: End Layer, the actual second entry of the Bravely franchise, not to be confused with Bravely Default II. For those unaware, this 3DS title is a direct sequel to the original Bravely Default, featuring returning characters such as Tiz. However, you played as a new protagonist.

Unfortunately, Bravely Second: End Layer was met with quite the mixed reception during its initial launch, which is a real shame, at least personally, since it remains my favorite Bravely game.

It would be really neat to see both the first Bravely Default and Bravely Second: End Layer ported to modern platforms, but at least we have Default II.
