[I'm an expert]

SE is thinking in other markets where handhelds aren't that strong and where the name "Bravely Default: Flying Fairy" sound ridiculous..it might not do so well. Probably.

 

[Meccanical]

Changing the title would ruin the clever plot tie in it has though.

 

[Famassu]

I'm not so sure, as far as I heard the game is dark and that could put up potential road blocks to be considered for translation. Looks even worse when you consider the artstyle for the boxart and think it will be lighthearted.

Well, TWEWY isn't the most lighthearted of games, even though it looks like your typical boys manga/anime. That still made it over. I don't think that has anything to do with their decisions as to whether they bring games over or not, it's probably more of a timing/cost vs. potential sales thing.

 

[Esura]

...how old did you people think I was? D:

I was guessing late 30s/early 40s.

Proposed amendment: we can never really have a decent FF13 thread because people on both sides of the argument either: say dumb shit about SE dying or attack people or make the most lecherous posts or become super-defensive and attack people.

Examples of decent FF threads:
Final Fantasy Community Thread (it ain't... SonicGAF or PokeGAF where everyone gets along enough to keep the threads going, but people are at least cordial to each other)
GAF Plays: Final Fantasy Games
Final Fantasy VII 15th anniversary thread
Final Fantasy V 20th anniversary thread (LOL, look how tiny this thread is compared to the FF7 thread)

That's aimed at me huh?

CERO C, or rather, ages 15+.

So does that improve the chances of Bravely Default coming over? Surely the content can't be that bad if it got that rating.

Haven't played either of them, but if I had the power I would gladly sacrifice bringing Lightning Returns to bring over BD:FF.

I don't know the specifics, I just heard it was darker than expected.

 

[Meccanical]

As dark as it can get, it's still pretty cutesy and not really that mature beyond a lot of

people getting dead

Then again Persona 4 got an M rating and I don't even know how that happened.

 

[MagiusNecros]

BDFF doesn't contain any content that is super dark.

I recall one part where

Spoiler

the Flower town has a guy do some sort of thing with female hormones so every female in town falls for him, as it is a town that is ruled by women if I recall

Course there is the fact

Spoiler

a variety of characters die by your party's hands.

I like that the game has a mix of lightheartedness and dark serious aspects.

 

[Esura]

Hmm, sounds interesting. Hope it ends on a positive note though. Tired of all these games ending all dark and stuff.

On the back of my copy it says...

Alcohol Reference
Animated Blood
Language
Partial Nudity
Sexual Themes (Maru-Q prolly)
Violence

I don't recall any instance of blood in P4. Nor any language beyond the "damn, hell, shit" PG-13 realm

I guess stripper Rise bumped it up.

 

[MagiusNecros]

BDFF has a great soundtrack. I like Sound Horizon.

 

[Meccanical]

Oh man it is SO good.

 

[demidar]

Animated blood? I don't remember any blood and I just finished that game 2 days ago.

 

[Goli]

The penis demon probably has a large part in it being rated M.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Oh man it is SO good.

No one can possibly hate the game anyway.

 

[Bladenic]

No one can possibly hate the game anyway.

Oh it's possible to hate alright.



And iirc P4 had a few "fucks" tossed around, that's a guaranteed M rating.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Oh it's possible to hate alright.

I suppose it is possible to hate certain things. But not much.

 

[demidar]

Also Satan had like, 6 boobs hanging off him.

 

[Bladenic]

I was just referring to hating the fact that I can't play it actually

My sarcasm-o-meter must have malfunctioned.

 

[Dark Schala]

Sort of. You use people you get via streetpassing to dedicate people to building up certain parts of the town. It's not very interactive, it happens in the background. And if you can't streetpass, then you have to use the free people the game gives you every day to do it, which is proving to take a fair amount of time since I have so few people. Each person you add to a task makes it complete faster.

Oh, that sounds boring. I guess it wouldn't be as boring if you were in Japan surrounded by streetpasses, but even if they brought it here, I think it might run into the same issues.

But outside of that, it's fun, right? Like Hikari no 4 Senshi Part 2 only better?

I was guessing late 30s/early 40s.

Oh... oh my... ;__;

brb, learning txtspk

That's aimed at me huh?

Nooooo... but I have to admit that some of you guys kinda go overboard sometimes.

 

[Meccanical]

Makes me scared to ask how old people think I am.

inb4 17.

 

[Yoshichan]

...how old did you people think I was? D:

~30-35

Makes me scared to ask how old people think I am.

19-20

 

[Meccanical]

19-20

Not quite, but close enough.

 

[Aeana]

Oh... oh my... ;__;

brb, learning txtspk

You should take it as a compliment. In terms of internet discussion, I'd rather be mistaken for being older. It kinda hurt when someone on Twitter assumed I was in my early 20s.

 

[demidar]

Not quite, but close enough.

22-23.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Not quite, but close enough.

21.

 

[Meccanical]

22-23.

This sounds sad but I actually had to stop and think: "Haha, not quite..wait..am I twenty two?"

21. You both almost got it.

Edit: Wow Magius, way to use your process of elimination powers, ha ha.

 

[Yoshichan]

21.

Nice edit

I know that feels, getting old sucks. I've been saying "I'm too old for this shit" more and more frequently as of late. I'm not even that old.

Speaking of, Space Jam has to be like 17 years old now or something.

Gat damn.

You can be young but wise beyond your years.

 

[Toth]

And as awesome as BDFF sounds, it hasn't broken 500k yet, has it? ; ; I am glad SE is happy with the success though but man, where is the market for these games now.

I watched that show over and over on my VHS.

I hope when I get decrepit I can still completely demolish the youngins with my superior gaming experience.

 

[Meccanical]

You're as young as you feel.

And honestly sometimes I still feel like I'm 18.

I still feel like I'm 15... until I start moving around; then I notice I'm as stiff as FFVII polygons >.<

You are. Even being in my 30s, I feel young.
But it's all a relative thing anyway.

 

[MagiusNecros]

It did receive basically zero marketing.

They say bastard and goddamn a lot too. Particularly Kanji and

Adachi

.

I love that Maru-Q stage btw. That dungeon theme had me nodding my head a bit.

Oh... oh my... ;__;

brb, learning txtspk

Meant no offense by it. You seem to be really knowledgeable about older RPGs and your posts are usually well written and insightful and stuff so I figured you to be older.

Btw, what is txtspk?

Nooooo... but I have to admit that some of you guys kinda go overboard sometimes.

True.

 

[Yoshichan]

You are. Even being in my 30s, I feel young.

I still feel that I'll be able to act like a child even when I get much older... let's hope! :3

 

[Ultratech]

One or two of the anime scenes, perhaps? (Or could be something else.)

I forget, but I know there's some blood in there someplace.

The penis demon probably has a large part in it being rated M.

Partly. A good number of demons are like half-naked, and have some very "suggestive" designs.

 

[demidar]

Square Enix is creating their own problems.

 

[MagiusNecros]

True.

Endearing qualities I'm sure.

 

[Aeana]

I have to admit, though, that when I see people talking about PSX games as being retro games, I can't help but feel pangs of oldness. For me, that generation feels like it's really recent.

 

[Meccanical]

Square Enix is creating their own problems.

Yeah.

Honestly we wouldn't be angry if we didn't love them so much.

SE needs an intervention.

I have to admit, though, that when I see people talking about PSX games as being retro games, I can't help but feel pangs of oldness. For me, that generation feels like it's really recent.

Even I feel that way.

Despite being relatively younger my first console was an NES.

I was really confused when I grew up and realized it was released in the 80s.

Well then, that is a big problem. SE must be spending all their money on 14's image rehab (and they kinda have to anyway).

Or saving up for Lightning's lackluster marketing campaign.

Pretty sure that will have zero marketing too.
