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.

Bravely Default |OT| A better Final Fantasy than Final Fantasy
- Thread starter Samurai_Heart
- Start date
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?

I have a thought for USGaf while I'm enjoying this game 
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.
That's a relief, thanks!
wasn't that the original game's boxart?
Should have put Ringabel in that bunny suit instead.The official twitter account got an interesting header image.
It seems like that design was scrapped in favor of the Bravo Bunny.

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.

Huh? I thought the original/NA box art is clearly better than For the Sequel/EU box art

Both look fine, I prefer the European one though.
Don't regret it, because the 3D really adds a lot to this game's visual charm.

It's a sequel?
Damn, gotta track down a copy asap.

You'll want to check out this thread: Bravely Default CE announced for North America - February 7th
Had some other OT covers that seem to have dissapeared from my Imgur but you guys can use this, if there's gonna be one:
Not a sequel, it's an enhanced version of the original.

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.

Based on similar situations with other games, my guess would be no seperate OT for NA release

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?
Come February, this will remain in my "OG" 3DS cartridge slot for a while...
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.I've ordered an XL coz GAF said XL is better
And in my opinion the XL is the better of the three options (OG, XL and 2DS).

I just really hate the XL and it's blur-o-vision. If you don't mind it for other games you've played on it, you probably won't mind it for BD either.
What I liked the most about 4HOL is the sense of adventure and the simplicity of the story and gameplay mechanics. No politics, no romance, no drama, no sense of duty followed by sulking, no overarching plot no one understands. Just you and your merry band of warriors and mages. It was a breath of fresh air.
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.
