Says unamed sources, anyway:

Hopefully we don't have to wait a million years for this.

omg yes i'm so excited thank you based matsuda,etc etc

spoiler (click to show/hide)

somehow seeing fans being bitter about the unrelease was more entertaining than the notion of me playing the game in a distant future and now that has been ruined

So....Square was in crisis and Final Fantasy 1 was supposed to be their last RPG. Now Square-Enix is in crisis and they have to Bravely Default in order to get their company back on track

mjemirzian · « **Reply #5 on:** April 04, 2013, 11:04:50 AM »

What kind of game is Bravely Default? Is it a story focused sandbox RPG like Tactics Ogre?

demi · « **Reply #6 on:** April 04, 2013, 11:16:24 AM »

Yes!

No. It's "totally not final fantasy"

Given recent events at SE, what was true as of last week may no longer be so. Wouldn't get my hopes up.

Powerslave · « **Reply #9 on:** April 04, 2013, 11:29:31 AM »

Maybe they can localize the title to something comprehensible as well

wouldn't the recent events make it more likely stuff like this and Type-0 would make it over here? Not releasing them in some form seemed like more of a bad move than a good move, particularly in FF's case.

i'd think type0 is doa til SE japan rerelases it on another format.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #12 on:** April 04, 2013, 12:36:03 PM »

MY TOTALLY UNINFORMED ANALYSIS

-- Type 0 has completely lost its launch window. The PSP market is utterly dead and even as a BC Vita game, no, just no. Unless there's a full-on Vita remake/reskin or a port to another machine, I don't think you'll ever play this in English.
-- BD:FF needs rebranded, maybe as Final Fantasy Stumpylegs Adventures, but 3DS stuff is doing well enough that it'd probably do fine -- unless Square continued its bad habit of making gigantic ROMs for handheld systems that cost a ton to manufacture and heavily minimize profits in the West. I'd probably approach Nintendo USA to act as publisher for this.

Neither of these games are going to do the tiniest bit to mitigate Square's financial burden.

demi · « **Reply #13 on:** April 04, 2013, 12:38:08 PM »

Nobody is interested in mitigating their bad decisions. We just wanna play some Bravely Default.

This is good news

I heard enough positive impressions that I want to play it. Between this and the Fantasy Life trademark news its been a good week for 3DS rumors

My heart keeps coming back to XII International HD + Type-0 HD dual pack. My brain says stfu and just play the inevitable fan translation on the inevitably optimized PSP emulator when those inevitably happen.

although, I just realized that I've never actually checked out reviews and impressions of Type-0. Maybe I should do that before thinking I want it...

Positive Touch · « **Reply #18 on:** April 04, 2013, 10:05:06 PM »

well bebpo said it sucked ass and iirc was one of the worst final fantasies hed played so cross it off your list

Huff · « **Reply #19 on:** April 04, 2013, 10:24:14 PM »

I think I remember some weird ugguu/moe stuff being in one of the trailers. Or am I thinking of a some other game

mjemirzian · « **Reply #20 on:** April 04, 2013, 11:07:36 PM »

Is it sad that every thread remotely related to Square-Enix turns into sales age?

Huff · « **Reply #21 on:** April 04, 2013, 11:09:58 PM »

well they'd have to bring some games over here for us to be able to talk about them

I remember Aeana saying something about a bit of fanservice at some parts she wasn't too particularly enthused with...

Well I mean look at the promo art. I mean there's nothing bad about it, but it's a bit ugguu.

These days I'm surprised when a JRPG isn't uguu as fuck.

Powerslave · « **Reply #31 on:** April 17, 2013, 12:40:57 PM »

Ya know.......Defaultly Brave?

Would make sense right?

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #32 on:** April 17, 2013, 12:45:32 PM »

I guess if they changed the name BRAVELY DEFAULT FLYING FAIRY for the US market the existing fanbase would be confused and not buy it, another brilliant deduction by Regy

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #33 on:** April 17, 2013, 07:30:48 PM »

Great news. This is a game I would rush out to get day 1, from GS no less.

Bravely Default is listed as a "working title". Not that it matters, the market for this game won't refuse to buy the game because of a goofy name.
