Mevius and Bravely Second Updates

Mevius Final Fantasy, a mobile title we were first introduced to last December, has been given a lot more detail in the last Famitsu. As we noted in that news post, quite a few important folks are involved in the title, and their ambition can be seen on the game's official website: "we're crafting a full-scale, high-quality RPG world the likes of which has never been seen on smartphones and tablets." The protagonist, we are told, will wake up in an unfamiliar world, guided by "Voice," a voice/being of type unknown. The game will once again feature a riff on the job system; Ranger and Black Mage jobs have already been shown. That said, combat will involve active touch-screen use. Did I mention it's looking gorgeous? It is not yet confirmed whether Mevius will be available in western markets or for Android.

We've also got some fresh information out of Bravely Second. Bravely Second will have a bonus activity/area/game/thing like the Norende Village of Bravely Default. You may remember learning in school (or, um, one of our earlier newsposts on Bravely Second) that everyone on the moon speaks English. That's where the character Magnolia is from, and that's where you'll be going, in the bonus activity, to fight off "Demon Kings." This involves utilizing Busterships (battleships) for added bombardment. I'm not making any of this up, people.

Finally, in the "um, alright" category of news, Final Fantasy XV art director Yusuke Naora presented some of the game's art and architecture for an audience at Southern Methodist University. The images - featuring skyscrapers and the city-enveloped royal palace - can be seen in the third source link below.
