Nintendo's Really Pushing This Bravely Default Game

But the battle system looks darn cool, so maybe it's got a point.

@aegon: EU edition got that cover? The NA one has the same art as the JP regular.

I swear Japan, Flying Fairy? No wonder they dropped it on the US one.

They didn't mention this at all for the EU Nintendo Direct, maybe 'cause its coming out later over here?

@patrickklepek The video links to the wrong game page. Correct one: http://www.giantbomb.com/bravely-default/3030-43731/

Yep. To be fair to him though, it's kinda confusing as hell.

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy was only released in Japan.

The game getting a western release under the title Bravely Default is known in Japan as Bravely Default: For the Sequel - an updated version of Flying Fairy.

Although, I'm kinda wondering if the differences are significant enough to actually warrant these being separate wiki entries. I don't know enough about them to actually make that call. I guess this Kotaku article makes it sound like it probably does change enough to be its own wiki entry.

I'm probably just an old man, but I just can't get into the anime art style anymore. Makes me feel a little gross inside.

Similar to how 4 Heroes of Light was kinda a throwback to the NES Final Fantasy games, this kinda feels like a throwback to SNES Final Fantasy games.

I also love demos for the games that have unique content, it is a pretty rare thing and it is cool when it happens.

I enjoyed the demo of this more than any other game for 3DS this year (including Fire Emblem) and - speaking as a PS4 owner - I'm looking forward more to this game than any other Winter release, on any platform.

Given that my Christmas list includes Tearaway, Link Between Worlds and the new Wii U Mario, that's saying a lot!

The game looks cool and the 8-4 guys had a bunch of great things to say about it, but that boxart bums me out.
