Nintendo's Really Pushing This Bravely Default Game

Tried the demo... not impressed.

I mean, not offended, either, but while the combat system does streamline things and congeals grind into a single turn it's still... well, straight-up JRPG-ish.

Nothing bad with that per se, but this year we've had Etrian Odyssey, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Ni No Kuni and more. It takes a whole lot more than retro sensibilities and a slightly more convenient grind engine to make me buy into one of these.

But hey, like I said, not offended or anything. This seems entirely competent, if you're into that kind of thing. It's just that, a lot like Xenoblades, I wonder if the lack of availability has inflated the hype a bit.

This game would also probably win the award of "Title Most Likely Made In A Random Name Generator".

The characters in this remind me of Precious Moments figurines.

Been really enjoying the demo of this, will likely buy the full version of it in the new year with my Christmas money. Just got my 3DS a few weeks ago, so with this, Super Mario 3D Land, Pokemon Y, and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, I couldn't have picked a better time to invest in one.

I have no idea if it's any good but I've listened to the soundtrack a lot this year. Pretty stoked about it finally making its way here.

SEXXIE CHILDURUUU~~~~~ XD SUGOI!!!!!!

Reddit GOTY fo sure

Not even a big JRPG guy but I am SO pumped for this game and the demo even sounds awesome. Also incredibly jealous of Europe for having the game already.

@paulwalif8150: Lest we forget Cash 45. They brought it like no other crew.

Good! Please push away, more people should know about it. I am so excited for this game.

The game is pretty fantastic. The story isn't doing a lot for me, but the gameplay has me absolutely hooked.

dude, bravely default is my most anticipated game next year! so pumped!

Looks great and an easy choice after how fun Four Heroes of Light was.

All my favorite Square RPGs don't have the Final Fantasy name attached to them. I'm super excited to get my hands on this game.

I am in the UK and got this game last week, I have spent over 20 hours on it already and I only just started chapter 2. This is easily the best 3ds game ever made. Far greater then Zelda and Pokemon. :) awesome game!

Got the collectors edition preordered

god damn the 3DS is on fire right now

So this is the FF game we've been waiting for.

Man that music!

I hate Michael Transactions. That guy is a real asshole.

I was sold when I saw the job system.

Wat.

So it's like Final Fantasy, but not? I can get behind that, I guess. Looks like I'll be trying this out come 2014.

good game and i think those micro tranzaction will not affect the game, it was already realease in EU and people seem to ok with the microtranzactions

Out in the EU and the reason Nintendo are pushing it is because it is amazing. It's the best Final Fantasy game since 6.

@ilikepopcans: And that's the thing I'm sure we will hear people riding on about for the next two months thanks to this nintendo direct. Can't wait to stay the hell away from the most of the internet since everyone has it except america and I can't let myself get spoiled.

It came out in Japan two years ago and just released in Europe. I bought it, but haven't had the time to play it yet(finals :(). Everyone I know is LOVING it. If you liked the old (SNES) Final Fantasy games, then you'll probably like this as well.

The best feature of Bravely Default: You can set the encounter rate to 0% at any time.

Really love the art style on this game.

It's very good so far.

ha

I like the part in the Nintendo Direct where Reggie was just going on about the michaeltransactions in this game.
