The demo didn't grab me, but maybe I need to give it a better chance.

Just not sure I have the time or drive right now.

Can't wait. Judging by the demo I will really enjoy the job system. I'd like to really tinker with it and take some atypical jobs like pirate. Hopefully they will also be helpful.

Maybe that's a question for Aeana: are only the standard jobs (black mage, fighter, etc.) worth your while?

Haha, such a downer - next you're telling me the game isn't really all that? ;)

I will go preorder this tomorrow - I don't dare risking a repeat of Fire Emblem. That game was impossible to find here for a while.

It's a real shame since the OST is truly amazing, hopefully we'll hear more of Revo in the future.

I imagine it'll pretty difficult for me to find other BD players near my area, so I'd rather rely on having a bunch of Friend Codes exchanged.

Nope! It will be fine. :)

Shame the special edition is so expensive. Not dropping £90 at shop two when I don't really want the figurine.

It probably won't drop in price either will it, seeing as its a retailer exclusive :(.

concerning the title of the thread; if we were to compare the game to FF XIII it's definitely a better rpg because XIII was never made as a straight forward rpg since it heavily relies on tactical elements and not armor, potions or even level.

unless we are comparing it to X or XII which sounds petty for an OT

it's a more old school FF that definitely doesn't have the hideous chibi art from IX.

The demo is not very good in the sense, it basically throws you into the game with not a clear explanation of how the game works. Also it can take a while until you can start mixing the different abilities and jobs. But once you do so, you will realize that this is indeed an amazing game, even within the demo restrictions.

Sadly, the Deluxe artbook is unlikely to compare to the official artbook releasing alongside the game in Japan. It's huge (256 pages), and even contains artwork from 4 Heroes of Light.

We can always start a hashtag and tweet at Nintendo to get them into adding the European/Japanese box art as a reversible cover. If it catches fire, we can get our way. It worked for Bioshock Infinite and Xenoblade since Nintendo was nice enough to let people vote on the reversible cover. Maybe #USBravelyDefaultBoxArtChange or something shorter along those lines. Nintendo reasoning is probably something along the lines of "guys love curves, let's put a fairy on it."

I have 4 Heroes of Light in my wish list, but not getting it any time soon. I didn't know this was sequel to 4 Heroes of Light but then again, putting two and two together (the art style), I'd figure it'd be something in the vain of the Square Enix DS games.

Anyone know anything about the artbook that comes with the CE version - especially for the US release? I can't find anything about it online which always bothers me with that type of pre-order bonus, like I want to know if it will be hard cover, how many pages it will be, if all of them will be in color, the dimensions of the book, etc.

You'll want to check out this thread: Bravely Default CE announced for North America - February 7th

I really hope people don't play this on an XL. Dreadful pixel density, it would do a great disservice to the game. That can be said for all 3DS games I suppose.

Don't really understand what the problem is with the box art. Isn't this the same art that was on the original Bravely Default released in Japan?

I'm... going to have to disagree. It looks fine on the XL.

And at the end of the day that is probably what most people are going to be playing on.

Don't worry, it's fine.

And in my opinion the XL is the better of the three options (OG, XL and 2DS).

Also, that final boss fight was balls hard. Damn, son. Made everything worth it and a fitting conclusion to one of the best RPGs of the last generation.
