Bravely Default - Or, Square Enix still loves stupid names

Jp box:

Announced during ND, 2013 for Europe, 2014 for NA. The spirital sequel to Final Fantasy: 4 Heroes of Light....needless to say, i'm excited. Very excited.

So we're finally getting this eh. I'm looking forward to it despite knowing nothing about it. Now all we need is for Type 0 to get announced for a localization and I'll be content with Square Enix (though I've given up hope of that).

I hadn't really given this game much attention, but the trailer managed to captivate me even though I knew the LTTP announcement was coming and was expecting that. I might actually pick this up, if it plays half as good as it looks.

Yes, yes, yes and yes. Despite NGamer only giving it 55%, I really enjoyed Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes Of Light. I hope this goes a little easier on you but I'll almost certainly pick it up anyway.

I'm looking forward to this, if only because of the amount of love it's received from online communities since it came out in Japan.

About flipping time! And why am I not surprised to see that it's SL and Athrun doing all the orgasming over it. I like my JRPGs, so will be keeping an eye on this! (I presume that the English translation will net it more than 55% too.)

Ah. That 55% was the score for BD:FF's predecessor, Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes Of Light, not BD:FF itself. FF:T4HOL was a hard game, which wasn't helped by the early parts of the game demanding that you flew solo for so long. However, once the four heroes ( ) got together, it was brilliant.

Wasn't it originally presented as a sort of easy way in to FF games? What happened there?

Finally, finally, finally. I've had the demo of this on my Japanese 3DS for ages, and it's certainly a very promising RPG. Too bad I can't understand any of it, but it certainly had a unique battle system and the visuals and soundtrack are both beautiful.

Japanator's review is very positive, mentioning it's "probably the best new IP to come out of Square Enix since The World Ends With You."

Even if the Four Heroes of Light turned out to be a bit of a dud (going by the NGamer review) this has little connection to that game at all, being by a completely different team and disconnected from the Final Fantasy series.

Can't wait!

You played a lot of the early game with just one character (who rotated between the four that eventually made up the titular party). As Silver light has mentioned, you couldn't target attacks, but it did become much easier after a certain point (i.e. when your characters started coming together; once you had all four, things became easier).

Not "news" as such, but it's nice to have confirmation that it's still on for this year

There are some decent games in that graphic! Still got my eye on this, though there are at least four 3DS titles that are ahead of it in the list. I'm also not all that cut up that the 'Flying Fairy' part of the title seems to have been dropped. Now, can we persuade Nintendo to do that with the 'Bros' at the end of the latest Mario & Luigi game?

There a Sequel coming kinnda, it's called Bravely Default: For The Sequel but not actually a sequel more of a updated version of the first.

They dropped the Fairy Flying part? I actually liked that, shame to hear it's been dropped.

FF has ninjas among its jobs.  BD, well...



I want to be a pirate with a large magical halberd! I loved FFIII on the DS, and this looks like it's hewn from the same cloth.

I've known it as Bravely Default: Flying Fairy for so long now that the subtitle being dropped just seems weird. Still looking forward to this, though that may be down to the amount of online bitching I've heard from fans wanting the game translated.

It's still called Bravely Default: Flying Fairy but the updated sequel version that's been announced at the moment is called Bravely Default: For The Sequel.

For The Sequel seems pretty much like one of those "Game of the Year" edition type games everything gets these days. Same game rereleased with some extra bells and whistles (which is also going to be avalible as DLC for the original version). Annoying that it seems the localised version will prolly just be the base one, though.[/color]

It's also nearly as bad a subtitle as that for Ragnarok Online II: Legend Of The Second

What about the recent brother's a tale of two sons, that's a silly title.

If we're talking stupid names; Revengance.

So, it seems we are getting the improved version. That's pretty good then. The 3DS' best year ever is just gonna keep getting better it seems.

1st English Trailer of For the Sequel which is the version were getting.

Thanks for posting this, Mas: CVG's linked video had broken. My thoughts, in order:

• Expecting the FF crystal theme to kick in right about now.
  
• Faaaaanservice.
  
• Please tell me I can change the voices to Jap- oh, I can. Thank the lord.
  
• How much honey did she have to choke down before speaking?
  
• So this is FFIIIDS with pretty CGI, then. Not necessarily a bad thing.
  
• There's no way in hell that falling person is dead.
  
• Airships, ships... The ideas envelope is not being pushed here.
  
• The white mage's voice acting is better than "Airy's", and that is the only good thing there is to say about it.
  
• Yup, this battle scheme is all pretty familiar.
  
• "My hero's got no nose!" "How does he smell?" "He can't, he's got no nose, you prick."
  
• NO please don't produce a characters trailer, PLEASE. Do you want to put your entire Western audience off this badly?
