RPG website reported that Square Enix announced through its website Brave default 2 Sales on all platforms have exceeded 1 million units. We already know that this game has sold 950,000 copies on Switch alone, but the recent release on Steam has pushed this game to the million mark. For a genre that many people underestimate its popularity, This is an impressive number.
To commemorate this achievement, Square Enix will hold an auction in Japan and hold a competition for Japanese residents who can win gift cards or art prints by artist Naoki Ikushima. The illustration features the four main characters above the stylized million figure and the word “Thank you!” It’s a tradition to commemorate the success of Square Enix JRPG with a celebratory illustration, and it’s cool that fans can have it now.
JRPG is reviving on Switch. Bravely Default 2 is booming, but it also contains a large number of popular JRPG games, such as Shin Megami Tensei 5, Octopath Traveler, and ported versions of beloved games such as Tales of Vesperia. This makes sense considering the portability of the console and the fact that this type has been thriving in this environment. The prospects for the continued and healthy development of RPG are indeed bright.
Bravely Default 2 posted conflicting comments, acknowledging its genius combat system, but also acknowledging that it was a bit unbalanced. Nevertheless, it is still very popular and was released on Steam in September last year. Seeing the next step in franchising is an exciting prospect, although we don’t know yet.
Bravely Default 2 is now available for Nintendo Switch and PC.
