Would be a shame if they axed the Flying Fairy part of the name.
If they did, I hope they replace it with something at least as clever. That's all I can say about that.

Is it bad I can see that happening?

Japan in general is pretty doofy about where they are('nt) putting some of these handheld exclusive games, especially stuff with respectable production budgets and cycles that could probably actually really use the international release.
Bolting on an iOS/Steam release on easy to control, easy to run games seems like it would infinitely help out in getting things successfully localized and finding a modern cult audience.
Phoenix Wright 5 is one that absolutely baffles me, especially on a recognizable brand. I'm happy to just buy it for my XL, but as someone interested in the FUTURE of the series it's absolutely senseless to leave it just a single handheld in this rotting market.

I had someone ask me why doesn't SE put Type 0 on Steam.
I was all >:/ on em.

Type-0 should have probably been PSP/Vita/PS3 triple release back when it actually made sense to release it.
That sounds like something someone would say on GameFAQs alright.

Further clarification that SE's left hand doesn't know what the right is doing.
Or perhaps the FNC Hydra would be a more apt analogy.
Where each head is having a meal and the middle head XIII gets the most, Type 0 gets the lesser portion and the Versus head gets nothing and starves.
It's best these days to not allow yourself any hope at all that Square will localize its good games.

I hope it's a localized title for Bravely Default... ;_;

I think they are going the Namco route.
Greeeaaaat.
Final Fantasy Type-0 You Can (Not) Localize
Final Fantasy Versus You Can (Not) Look Forward To It
Final Fantasy Lightning Returns You Can (Not) End It
Except even Namco has started localizing their Tales series again.
Ahahaha...

Team Destiny Tales is the only good ones IMO.
They STILL do not localize SRW OG anymore so yeah.
And they sent 2 remakes to die more or less.

Absolutely this.
I've had multiple friends and co-workers who claim to like JRPGs, but they won't play anything other than Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts. They talk about how disappointed they are in JRPGs and how all of them suck now, but when I go and recommend something that's not FF/KH they're just like "nah, I probably wouldn't like it."
Which is doubly ridiculous because they complain about the state of JRPGs, won't try anything new even for $15-$20, yet they'll dump $60 day one on a C-tier FPS/TPS and talk about how they were disappointed in that. Frustrates the hell out of me, they're a big part of the reason stuff doesn't get localized.

Might be a dumber name than Bravely Default: Flying Fairy.
This is probably the social game. Dammit Square Enix.

Square Enix localized products that went to sell very few copies in the past, probably lower than what Bravely Default would sell in the West, and kept doing because probably expectations weren't higher. Heroes of Ruin bombed, but Theatrhythm hardly did, and Kingdom Hearts 3D did okeish.
just what i've heard
Ahahaha...
Alternative titles for Versus XIII:
You Can (Not) Play.
You Can (Not) Watch the Closed Megatheater Trailer.
You Can (Not) Wait a Decade.
I dunno, it looks like a classic Final Fantasy game to me, with job classes, a pretty world map, four character party and so on. Between it and Type-0 it's enough for me to believe Square still knows what makes a good Final Fantasy and just doesn't care.

i have a feeling all their localization resources are completely focused on XIV Realm Reborn..
And LRV-0
I'm fairly sure Kingdom Hearts 3D outsold Theatrhythm by a large margin. I don't even think Theatrhythm broke 100k, which is probably how little Bravely Default would sell.

KH3D did in line with BBS and Days in the US and better than both in Europe. It did well enough, and has a good shot at legging it like Days did America. The only market it "bombed" was really Japan.
Theatrhythm did badly in the west (though still probably better than any other $40 rhythm game could do at this point), Heroes of Ruin (rightfully) megabombed.

All in the same calender month too. What a great choice that was.
Oh Square Enix wants your money, just not for the stuff we'd want to give it to them for.

that was my first thought...how come we're assuming that's not the case here?

From what I can tell, because PSP's not a viable western platform? :[
Bravely Default is a 3DS game

All The Bravest sounds like a cool name though. They should add on the Final Fantasy name too. I really hope it's BD.

Most of the people thought Bravely Default wouldn't have sold 100k in Japan as well.
Then i'll still take bravely default if that's the case.

This has to be Bravely Default, right? RIGHT?
What in god's name is clever about that?
Anno would be proud.

Thought this was about their investors.
Especially that the ending to XIII-2 makes less sense than the last two episodes of Evangelion.
The thing is they performed better than any other non nintendo 3ds software. So they should be pleased with the sales (particularly KH3d).
