Bravely Default: Where the Fairy Flies [Please use spoiler tags]

[Peoki]

What doesn't feel right when you're playing SMT? Since you've just reached Tokyo, perhaps this map can help you out? I wish I saw this while I was playing through the first time... Tokyo is large and confusing since there aren't any road signs or anything. :c

oh gosh finals ;o; gl with yours! I'm done 1/5 of mine right now orz

I hope we get the demo mid-January! I think my reading week is a week after BD:FF comes out so I'm super excited

I feel disconnected while playing SMT, like something doesn't click right and it's not as enjoyable for me as I'd like it to be. Thanks for the very intimidating map . I think the strategy guide that was included in the LE ends after reaching Tokyo. I'll put this to good use.

My reading week also falls close behind the official release of BD:FF! So I guess Nintendo did us both a favor. haha

Thanks so much for that Peoki, we'll give it another go. I wanted to love this game so much, and was expecting to, so it was doubly frustrating when we just... didn't. And we don't have lots of spare cash, so we don't want to be buying games we won't play, you know? Hope the wait for the NA demo isn't too long for you guys!

No problem! I hope you both have a better experience the second time around
Haha, I am guilty of buying games I don't play... but I will get to them eventually. My backlog only consists of two for the winter break anyway. Unfortunately I've spoiled the objective behind the demo, but I've heard the content is exclusive so it shouldn't hinder my experience with the full game as long as I avoid the official thread on GAF.

I'm quite tempted to import the Bravely Default Design Works art book that was recently released. Yoshida's work is always absolutely gorgeous. Square Enix has lost another great artist; I'm excited to see what he'll be working on next.

Agent Kite showed me this game yesterday! It looks amazing and really fun so he and I are ordering the collectors edition! It sounds like it's going to be a wonderful call-back to the early era of RPGs and Final Fantasy so I'm excited to give it a try! Plus it's the first time I've been able to buy a collector's edition of anything! So I'm super excited for that too!

I'm glad you're so excited for the game! Hopefully we're not all too hyped xD
But yeah that CE looks gorgeous @_@ And it's only $10 more than the regular game so to me it's obvious as to which one to buy.

Toyko is huge @_@ I was overwhelmed by its size when I first reached it. I think the strategy guide covered a few regions of Tokyo but after that I got lost so often I caved and consulted a guide. I love convincing new demons to join my hoard though; I was so proud each time my angel announced it felt like it was going to evolve xD

I've been wilfully blind so I haven't searched up what the objective of the demo is. All I know is the main character's names xD I read that Yoshida is no longer working with Square Enix but he's still working on Bravely Default "for as long as they need him" so that's good news. One of the things that intially attracted me to BDFF was his artwork - it's so unique. I'm glad the CE comes with a hardcover book. I hope NA also gets the pre-order book!

 

[BellGreen]

I really want the Collector's Edition, but Prof. Layton is more important to me, I wish I could have both. I think I'll preorder the Collector's Edition and just buy what I want later on my birthday. A few days off release date isn't too bad.

The voice acting isn't TOO bad but I think it could have been much better from what we heard.

I think the CE is just a better deal in general - the hardcover artbook, AR cards and CD for an extra $10 is a really good deal to me. Of course, that's because I love artbooks, but I know that's not everybody's cup of tea.

Personally I love the Layton series but since it's coming out at the end of February, it's just a terrible time because of school xD I'll probably end up buying Prof Layton in May :s I think waiting for Professor Layton is okay since there's only one edition - and there are always random sales throughout the year too.

Honestly if the voice acting in Bravely Default doesn't improve in-game, I'll be switching over to the Japanese voiceovers xD I'm glad we're given the option to choose.

Teach me your secrets! I am horrible at recruiting demons. LOL
I'm actually looking forward to resuming SMT IV now . One week of classes and a few finals to go...

I couldn't resist skimming through the official thread on GAF ;_;. Fortunately I'll be going into the full game completely blind. Like you, I only know the names of the main characters and very little of the story. I think it's time I block myself from said threads until February, haha. I need to keep my anticipation and hype on neutral grounds.

Yoshida has always been my favorite game artist and character designer by far. I was disappointed when I heard about his departure from Square Enix, however this can only mean bigger and better things for him. SE can no longer force him to work on mobile games. Yay

You took the words right out of my mouth!

 

[ItachiKouyou]

I can't wait to get it! It looks fun. And the costumes are beautiful!

My birthday is in March so waiting for Layton after release wouldn't be that bad. I just think that other games are more important than Bravely Default. It will probably be that game you really want but get the chance you can get it.
Speaking of voice acting, I just viewed a UK trailer for Layton 6. Luke was way too annoying, Emmy sounded fine, and Layton had the exact same voice as NA o.o

Anyway, I'm liking Edea's voice actor, Cassandra Lee. All I hear is Ritsu from K-On lol. I felt that one of the girls' voice was way too quiet, or they just seemed low quality. They probably just streamed it on to a bigger screen so that's probably why.
The figure for Bravely Default doesn't look that good anyway. The paint job looks horrible, I see why it's excluded in NA lol. They should at least add something new for NA's CE, like a pin or button or a keychain.

LOL PLEASE THE AMERICAN LUKE IS 1000000000000000X WORSE

The collectors edition over here is like another ?50 lmao i'm not buying that.
Came out over here yesterday, I've been playing the demo and I personally really like it. <3 i'll get the game 4 christmas.

When you encounter a demon you want to recruit, kill it's allies
Sometimes they'll be so scared of you they'll surrender 8D

I skimmed the official thread on GAF for pics of the CE xD Looks really, really nice. As far as I can tell, EU folks are doing a good job of keeping the spoilers away. I won't be going back to GAF though. I'm trying to keep my anticipation down too xD

I feel like Luke's voice is always really weird lol. He sounds like a girl in the trailers. Whoever voices Layton always does a fabulous job though. I also have 0 knowledge on voice actors so I can't comment on who sounds like who xD

The figure for Bravely Default doesn't look that good anyway. The paint job looks horrible, I see why it's excluded in NA lol. They should at least add something new for NA's CE, like a pin or button or a keychain.

The figure is an abomination. I'm glad NA doesn't get it; helps brings the price down to a reasonable level. Although I would like a pin/button/keychain.... Not that I would ever use it lol

?50 what lol that's insane. That's like another game.
Does anything from the demo stand out to you? I know Dizzi Paradise and her husband had some issues with the difficulty.

The American Luke isn't that bad, it was Eternal Diva's Luke that stunk really bad. Emmy had a different VA for NA's version as well.
Christopher Robin Miller does Layton's voice for NA, and I FEEL like it's the same jig for PAL. He was born in USA so I'm surprised he pulls off the accent amazingly well.
~~~~~~~
The figure/statue doesn't look like the girl in the trailers, she actually resembles an anime character but I don't know. The figure just looks horrible. Leave figure making to Good Smile Company, Square Enix >.>;

 

[Alienfish]

Blah, I wanted the old/japanese cover :c Probably not getting it though.

Haha, that's what I've been doing. The demons always laugh in my face and run with my mecca. ;_;

I managed to steer away from the GAF thread. Saw images of EU'S CE as well; looked fantastic. Now I'm left wondering how NA will package their CE. The Collector's pack for BD:FF in Japan was gorgeous. I'm hoping we get something similar to that, though knowing Nintendo, it's not likely.

Hopefully you're not underleveled then :c They won't join you if you're not stronger than they are. Also, if the demons want a life stone, give them one since you'll be swimming in them later xD

Now that you mention it, I wonder how we the CE is going to be packaged in NA...I think the Agnes figurine probably took up a lot of room so that's one of the reasons why the box is so big. I'd still like a nice, big box that says "Bravely Default" though. The EU box looks very study/high quality.

 

[Peoki]

Collector's Edition packaging for NA.

Spoiler

I am no longer worried! It looks great . Bless Nintendo for the high quality boxing. I don't have to be concerned over making creases while opening.~~

Demo drops on January 2nd, 2014. We're getting there!
