Squeenix Bravely Default

I can't say I like the character design in the cutscenes but otherwise it looks sweet and pretty similar to 4 Heroes of Light. I even recognized some of the enemies. Looking forward to this a lot.

Can't say I'm too happy with the acting, but that's what dual audio is for.

It might get better outside of the trailer, NoA has been pretty good at handling English VA in the few instances they actually have to dub something.

 

[Amn Nom]

I'm getting a strong Final Fantasy 9 vibe from this one for some reason, which isn't a bad thing I guess since I liked that one the most out of the numbered entries.

 

[Whisky]

Looks interesting. I've always liked the class-based FF games. Never played 4 Heroes of Light though.

 

[lightbane]

Massive from Squeenix, for once.

I never understood why they went for this cutesey bobble headed approach in an attempt to emulate the earlier games. When I think of FF4-6, I don't think of cute shit, I think of

and huge detailed monsters. Hell, before FF7 they had a tendency to kill off multiple characters/party members per game.

Probably wider appeal and technological convenience. Same reason why FF3 and FF4 were remade looking like this.

You'll be glad to know this was 100% the work of an external studio.

Hey, if you can't do the job yourself, ally with the people who can!

About the game:

Bravely Default utilizes turn-based combat and multi-hit combination moves. There is a job system, similar to those in some other Square Enix games such as Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light. The game has a single save slot, which Producer Tomoya Asano stated on Twitter is due to the game's "wireless features". Bravely Default will feature heavy use of voice acting within the story and during battles. Producer Tomoya Asano has said that the game will feature multiple endings. With the official Member's Site, the players can create a community, unlock achievements (otherwise impossible for the 3DS) and take on Quests created for the whole community. One of the core aspects of gameplay is the option to both "Default", an option which allows the player to store battle points for later, and "Brave", in which the character selected unleashes multiple attacks in a single turn.

I have read enemies can pull default and brave on you, too.

Also, saucy cover:

Buying this game would be awkward as fuck.

 

[grudgebringer]

buying games is always awkward, as long as it's not GTA or something alike that you can snatch jostling in masses.

I mean, I'd love a game visually inspired by Amano's artwork too, but it's never happened and it will never happen.

Oh great, another Final Fantasy game with a different name slapped on it. Some day maybe, HHR is actually gonna open a thread about a decent game.

It would be nice if we could separate 'decent' from 'games I would play.' If the 'I' isn't you, that just means someone is scrapping on what you think is worth their time. If a game is worth a player-base's time and has no glaring deviations from the creators' vision (extremely buggy, noticeable incomplete content, absolutely horrible gameplay/environment design etc.) I do not see how a game cannot be as objectively exemplifying 'decent'.

IDK, carry on...

 

[Haba]

I thought this game was about banking and global finances.

Goddamn japs trying to turn westerners into pedophiles.

Goddamn japs trying to turn westerners into pedophiles cater to ephebophiles.

Corrected for accuracy.

Also, saucy cover:

Except that's the Japanese cover, watch it get changed.

Also, the western rating is PEGI 12, but CERO C is 15+.

E: What did I say? r00fles!

 

[Zeriel]

The babes doing the checkout are more likely to notice the Cheetoh stains on your Mass Effect shirt and will never have sex with you after this.
