Demo Features and Restrictions

Game starts in Chapter 1

While it may seem like Chapter 1 is the beginning of Bravely Default 2, it actually takes place after the opening prologue where our heroes meet. Based off on the first Bravely Default game, it can roughly 3-5 hours just to reach chapter 1, so the game may still have a lot of opening content.

Play time is limited to 5 hours

The demo can only be played for a maximum of 5 hours per playthrough. We highly suggest playing the game twice with the first playthrough to just explore the game's features and its differences from the 1st and 2nd game.

Starts with 5 Jobs

Together with the starting job Freelancer, the party consists of a Black Mage, a White Mage, a Vanguard, and a Monk for a total of 5 classes. Feel free to mix up these jobs and explore combos you can do in preparation for the game's official release.

3 changable difficulties

Similar to the previous entries, the game presents an easy, normal, and hard difficulty option. This can be changed on the menu after starting the game, so feel free to adjust the difficuluty later if you feel the gameplay is too easy or difficult.

Does the Demo Playthrough Carry Over?

The demo's progress cannot be carried over to the official release

Unfortunately, it is impossible to carry over your progress from the demo into the official release.
