Square Enix producer Tomoya Asano has teased fans about a potential announcement regarding the Bravely Default JRPG series for later this year. The first Bravely Default game was released as an exclusive for the Nintendo 3DS. It received generally favorable reviews, as it was a nostalgic revisit to the job-based systems seen in early Final Fantasy games, while also utilizing a unique turn system that featured the titular Brave and Default actions. It got a direct sequel, Bravely Second, a few years later, which was also released on the 3DS, introducing new jobs and continuing on from where the first game left off.
The success of the first Bravely Default led to the formation of Team Asano, led by producer Tomoya Asano.

Asano has expressed his desire to bring the original game to modern systems beforehand, and some felt it would be the perfect game to bring onto the Switch or its rumored successor.
Both Bravely Default and Bravely Second are only available on the 3DS, which many felt handicapped the series, especially now that its numbered sequel is on both Switch and PC. A re-release of these two games would be beneficial, as it would re-introduce them to modern audiences who might have already abandoned their 3DS handhelds for the Switch. The other theory is that Team Asano will reveal a Bravely Default 3 or Bravely Third, the latter being a direct sequel to Bravely Second. This is still only speculation, though, and fans should wait until a more
