So i'm playing Bravely Default, and reached the demo (prequel) of the second game. Issue is that it's only English for us, whereas the main titles have dual languages. Is it possible to reach the japanese eshop and download the free demo from there?

If you don't have a Japanese region 3DS or region changed one you probably out of luck other than finding the demo in cia format, don't asks here where to get them.

Also, I dont think that the bonuses you get from playing the demo will be compatible if you go from J demo to US/EU Bravely Second, and similarly from US/EU Bravely Default to J demo.

Been a while since I played them, so I'm not certain.

And if you want the complete BD 3ds experience you may want to look at grabbing the 'for the sequel' translation that's out there.

Already finished Bravely Default so that's over with. But afaik "for the sequel" is just the regular old one without the qol features?

Some consumables are nothing if i can get rid of the low budget cringe inducing english voice acting

I think you might have to do a ctrnand transfer to Japanese to download it, but I do not know if you can access the eshop or not.

He actually needs a second 3ds of the same variant type like new or old 3ds and do a ctr transfer instead, but what is best for OP is probably to find the Bravely Second Japanese version either in CIA or physical cart, demo is not much to play, even though there is a demo of the Japanese version.

I found the english voice files, but they were incomplete for a mod. English had a lot more files so probably patched in more voices later

There is a Japanese demo on the Japanese eshop, but the eshop close on Monday, probably not enough time for you to get a Japanese 3DS to get access to the demo. The full game you can probably buy it off like ebay.

The demo has fallen through the cracks it seems. I've found multiple places with japanese games, even the for the sequel, but the bravely second demo is never present. If only i could get my hands on it xD

Yeah, I can't find the Japanese demo anywhere either... annoying because I know it was out there at some point because I played it before the localised version dropped - it was on one of those sites that's no longer with us (either Chaos or the ISO one). I may have it archived, but it's unlikely.

I can't even find it's title ID on the 3ds title key DB.

Here it is:

I don't think this is one that should be lost to obscurity. Some of us don't like cheap english voiceacting and want to play these with jp voices back to back. You can for the main games, but for some reason Nintendo doens't allow that for the demo.

You need a Japanese 3ds of the same variant like N3DS to N3DS to do a CTR Transfer to allow you to get eshop access, standard CTR Transfer won't give you access. You are kinda of luck since the eshop goes down on Monday, unless you find someone with the demo or a cia format, probably out of luck, I still don't get it why you want to play the demo when you can get the full game in Japanese region cart.

Demo is a prequel to the second game so exclusive content. I'm not on new 3ds, i've got an old one

The demo plot isn't a prequel to the second game, it is just a demo, plot wise it is different than the actual full game, you need an Japanese old 3ds, but regardless, eshop is closing on Monday so you are out of luck, people doesn't really dump Japanese content, that why I had to buy a copy of Bravely Default Flying Fairy, the original game, "not for the sequel" one that got localized.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves

    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
