That thread's Name is...the Bravely Default thread!

Soooooo, who's getting the game on Fryday? After my midterm, I'm sooo going to EB Games asap.

Feel free to discuss the game and anything about it here~

It's the baby brother of FFIII and FFV! I'm sure we will all love it (I hope).

Edea is best character, RIngabel too!

demo seems so h4xX but I really would like to play this, old school FF was good good gooooood

Not ta mention Tiz is voiced by Bryce Papenbrook!

I'm actually playing FFIV PSP right now, and I am having an absolute blast. The story is so on the point, no dilly-dallying, no bs, just say what you need to say and move on. I wish they would remake FFVI in this style, and I'd give them all my money again...Like I don't do that for any KH release...

Anyways, the demo is actually pretty bad tutorial wise, and I hear the full game will be better.

The things I'll enjoy from BD:
*The music (have 3 songs already on my iPod) being the biggest one
*Battles
*Characters
*Steins;Gate plot lol

@Sui: Edea is Sophie, Agnes is Teepo, and Ringabel is Spike "Shinji" Spencer! The English cast seems so enjoyable!

ONE MORE DAY. OHMAHGAI!!!!

Yaaaaaay turn based nonsense can't wait!

Is that a "good" nonsense?

Good = Fun

If fun flies by as good to you then yes xD
Midnight release anyone?

Not for me. Picking it up tomorrow, and playing for a bit, then going back to studying for midterms!

Though, I'll at least try to get Edea by Saturday or something.

Midterms so early...?

Who got this today....

Later afternoon. Still got classes

So I summoned some lvl 14 person and their character did like 1700 somethin damage and immediately oneshot Barras.

That was hilarious.

lol

So far, the actual game is indeed more forgiving than the demo. hard mode is pretty okay, but I guess that's on the beginning.

My god Ringabel looks fabulous.

Just curious, is anybody here familiar with Matrix's previous Final Fantasy games? III, IV, and 4 Heroes of Light? How were they? Any highlights?

I only played their FFIV. I haven't played many Final Fantasies, but I thought it was okay. However, you pretty much a need a guide for obtaining abilities because the items for learning them are one-use only, you have to give some to party members (if you want their abilities) before they're gone forever due to plot reasons, and you end may up giving the best ones to Guest Party members (assuming you're playing blind).

And unlike the GBA and PSP versions, you can't change party members near the end of the game and are stuck with Cecil, Rosa, Rydia, Kain, and & Edge during the endgame.

3-4 were pretty good for the most part but as TimeFactor said, missing things can be a real in the butt in 4.

Thankfully they rectified that for the most part in BD, aside from a few items stealable from bosses, pretty much nothing is missable.

Are dudes shared via Nintendo Network or via Friend Codes? We should probably start a list of the latter if so.

I'm still playing the demo because it's pretty long, though. Demo starts out pretty hard, but leveling up increases your stats quite a bit, thankfully.

Character summons are shared via friend codes and to lesser extent, random net invites that can be done once a day.

From what I've heard, the demo is somewhat harder than the actual game itself.

Btw has anyone else come to absolutely loathe that little biatch

fdf:

She really struck a nerve with me for some reason; I was pretty surprised tbh.

Well yeah, considering that the game is almost unplayable without defaulting nonstop for your first couple levels, it quickly becomes evident that the demo was kind of scraped together from a bunch of unrelated elements. The tower is really difficult even after completing the other Play Bonus requirements.

Also god forbid you think that the Freelancer is actually usable at the start. If you don't think to give Jobs to everybody you're fucked out of the gate. Thankfully I only left one character as a Freelancer and realized my error after the first battle.

I must admit, I'm a little disappointed that this isn't a Final Fantasy game. It really should be, to be honest. I've gotta assume that Flying Fairy was originally supposed to be Final Fantasy. Then again, I never got the impression that Matrix's previous games sold like console FF titles do, where-as Bravely Default had quite a following, so maybe the slight change was necessary. I guess I'm just lamenting the fact that Dragoons are much cooler than Valkyries, and I'd love to see Chocobos in the game.

If Bravely Default is anything like 4 Heroes of Light (my favourite FF title) then I will be beyond happy.
