The Art of Bravely Default II: 201X–2021 features roughly 300 pages of concept art, marketing illustrations, and other artwork from Bravely Default II. Along with the artwork, the book also includes commentary from members of the Bravely Default development team, translated into English for the first time. Dark Horse's first two Bravely Default art books were great, so fans will want to keep the upcoming book on their radar.
