Especially that the ending to XIII-2 makes less sense than the last two episodes of Evangelion.
Not to derail the thread but the ending actually makes a lot of sense if you pay attention to the little hints during the game and I was very happy they went there...and the they announced LR and everything was back to being shit again.
 
I hope so too. Bravely Default is a dumb title, name of a mechanic or otherwise.
I actually love the title.

And god damn it. The 4 titles I'm most excited about for my 3DS are:
Soul Hackers
SMT4
DQVII
Bravely Default

Seriously, this thing is already coming to be on par with the DS for RPGs and it's so early. SE needs to get its crap in gear.
 
The thing is they performed better than any other non nintendo 3ds software. So they should be pleased with the sales (particularly KH3d).
KH3D did fine. Western sales (ie: shipments) as of the end of September:

Kingdom Hearts 3D: 650,000
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: 150,000
Heroes of Ruin: 130,000


Flying Fairy : All The Bravest.

Believe >_<
It'll be Final Fantasy: All the Bravest.

I'm really hoping that this is the US title for Bravely Default.

I still don't understand why they don't just go the "SaGa" route and rename the game Bravely Default: Final Fantasy or some shit.
 
Well I would say I'm learning Japanese so I won't have to worry about this for much longer, but then I remembered the fucking region lock. Fuck Nintendo for that
 
Yeah I wonder if it's Final Fantasy: All the Bravest.

ATB sounds very much like a subtitle, and they pulled this with 4 Heroes of Light.

Edit: Actually, I looked again, the game was labeled as a FF game at the last minute in Japan, BD wasn't.

I'm surprised this topic isn't more popular. This definitely sounds like a name that SE would use to localize Bravery Default.

I think SE over time has disappointed us to the point if it isn't clear and concise then many won't care.

We expect to be crapped on basically.

The ending was bullshit, invalidated the efforts of two games, and made no damn sense the minute you take two seconds to sit down and think about what happens. It was also poorly written, frustrating in that the player's last decision had even less outcome on the plot than any other Live Trigger in the game, and ridiculously contrived.

Gonna look through the datalog tomorrow and then I'm gonna make a topic on what works and what doesn't.

What works:
Everyone is dead, now we can all go home and pretend this game never happened.

What doesn't work:
EVERYTHING IN THE ENTIRE PLOT.

Rules and Regulations:
Paradox is not a valid explanation for anything UNLESS it's an actual Paradox, a la FF1.

I meant the extra fluff. Like the deity that destroyed the world. It was quite interesting.

I was thinking they might be going with ATB as a clever NA title, but since BD very clearly doesn't (AFAIK) use the ATB battle system, this would be a pretty bizarre choice, even for Square Enix.

I was thinking like that too, but seeing Squenix seems interested in expanding this into a new franchise. Putting back Final Fantasy in the title didn't sound so smart in the long run.

Bravely Default is meant to be it's own IP. Putting FF into the title goes against that very idea.

Wasn't the point of the Flying Fairy subtitle was that it could have "FF" in the title? It is really just a reimagining of the Four Heroes of Light series.

Please be the US title for Bravely Default. Every 3DS owner in the States will buy it, I swear!

So they'll just not release a game that's sure to sell a ton of copies? Or will they port it to 3DS?

We have no idea.

As for Flying Fairy there is a clever spoiler hidden in.

Why do we think this is a mobile game and not the 3DS one?

The game's producer recently said they'd like to first try out the social browser game in Europe, then if that does well, they'd think about localizing the 3DS game. That's why people are assuming this is the browser game. Note also the OP mentions they filed a European Community Trademark, which may support this whole idea.

I hope so too. Bravely Default is a dumb title, name of a mechanic or otherwise.

All the Bravest wouldn't be much of an improvement, if at all, but then the names of Squeenix-developed/published RPGs this generation have been largely awful. I still cringe a little whenever I come across "Infinite Undiscovery".

Probably the browser game. Didn't they say they might release the browser game first if they were considering localisation? That also needed a better game. Isn't the browser game named BF: Praying Brage, and Brage means Browser Game?

Seriously, though. If I could just get my hands on Type-0 in English, Bravely Default in English, and Versus XIII, I'd be able to walk away from Square forever. I mean, KH3 and TWEWY2 would be amazing, but these three would be enough for me.

Bravely Default is the most widely accepted gibberish name I've seen on here. I guess people don't bat an eyelash at it because they're anxious for a good jrpg.

I'm sorry, but Bravely Default: Flying Fairy is nothing compared to Prologus: Dissidia: Final Fantasy 012 -Duodecim-. THAT was a dumb name.

Otherwise, yes, we'll pretty much excuse things like dumb names for good JRPGs these days.

"Dream Drop Distance" is surely in the running in this contest. I actually prefer these way-out-there titles to something as banal as "Lightning Returns". Imagine if they named all their RPGs like that? "Squall Emotes". "Ashley Forges".

^Epic of GILGAMESH would be awesome.

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy has a significant meaning behind it. Of course people who don't get it will look at it as stupid.
