Announced at the end of today's Nintendo Direct Micro, the sequel to Bravely Default will be released in the US and Europe in 2016, as Bravely Second: End Layer.
Localized Screenshots
Bravely Second's story takes place two and a half years after the original. Agnes Oblige, now the Pope of the Crystal Orthodoxy Church, is kidnapped by the mysterious Emperor Oblivion. The task of rescuing her is left to the Church's Stalwart Aurochs (Three Musketeers), the bodyguards of the Pope: Yew Geneolgia, Janne Angard, and Nikolai Nikolanikov. On the journey, Yew runs into Magnolia Arch, a Ba'al Buster from the Moon, and along with some old faces, they seek to save Agnes and stop Emperor Oblivion's plans.
Expect to see some new Jobs, some new locations, and a few new features. In particular is the chain battle system, where if you defeat a random mob in one turn, you have a choice of immediately fighting another mob for a multiplier bonus, with the caveat of your BP carrying over. Oh, and from the import impressions so far, it sounds like this game's mid/endgame doesn't pull the same level of shenanigans as Default's endgame, though it does reuse plenty of assets from the first game.
Characters:
Obviously, the following information will contain some spoilers for the first game.

Characters:
Obviously, the following information will contain some spoilers for the first game.
Yew Geneolgia - Known as the Soaring Falcon, he's a part of the Three Musketeer-esque Stalwart Aurochs. Yew inherits the roles of both Tiz and Ringabel, as he's the protagonist and the owner of a Journal that serves as the Bestiary and Mission Log.
Magnolia Arch - A Ba'al Buster (Demon Hunter) who hails from the Moon. She was a major focus of the secret cutscene from the first game, single-handedly defeating a demon with the time-stopping Bravely Second ability and saving Tiz from a stasis tank.
Edea Lee - Now the head of the Eternian Knights, she was also investigating Agnes' disappearance. She eventually joins the party after saving them and realizing that they have the same mission.
Tiz Arrior - After being separated from the Celestial and passing out, Tiz was captured by a mysterious organization and kept alive in a stasis tank for their experiments, until he was rescued by Magnolia.
Agnes Oblige - The Pope of the Crystal Orthodoxy Church, she is quickly kidnapped by Emperor Oblivion during the signing of a peace treaty between the Orthodoxy and Eternia. She takes on Airy's role in this game, somehow communicating with the party from Oblivion's floating castle to serve as a Menu Guide.
Janne Angard - One of the Stalwart Aurochs, Janne worked his way up from the slums, eventually becoming known as the The Blazing Wolf.
Nikolai Nikolanikov - Originally a priest for the Crystal Orthodoxy, he recruited Yew and Janne for the Stalwart Aurochs and served as a sort of mentor.
Emperor Oblivion - The mask-wearing antagonist, who kidnaps Agnes for some nefarious purpose. He has apparently partnered up with a Cryst-Fairy clad entirely in black. Quite strong in his own right, as he easily defeats Braev Lee, Alternis Dim, Yew, and Agnes at the treaty signing.
