Nintendo should market Bravely Default by renaming it New Final Fantasy

They should just call it Final Fantasy VII-2. Just add an scene where the FFVII world got nuked to nothingness, and a new world is born. Million of years later.... Bravely Default story start.

Hire me.
 
"Nintendo keeps on milking its IPs"

"Squeenix keeps on milking FF"

"We want new IP to be called Final Fantasy!"

It's only logical.
 
Casuals aren't going to buy it anyway. Give it up.

Calling it Final Fantasy is only going to cause confusion.
 
Might as well rename every RPG Final Fantasy if you think customers don't buy games with new names.
 
Terribad. I think the contrary: Final fantasy should only be used for the main-line games. Squarenix is complaining the FF brand has lost its quality in consumers minds. When you name every other game Final Fantasy, of course it will. Let Final Fantasy be a exclusive brand only used for the highest quality games.

Crystal Chronicles doesn't need FF in the title.
Final Fantasy Tactics doesn't need FF in the title.
Dissidia doesn't need FF in the title.
Direct sequels don't need FF in the title.
 
I dont think SE and Toriyama would allow something that would change the perception that FF has another waifu besides Lighting.
 
I think this could help appeal to the "frat" crowd:

I actually don't think SE even cares about what Nintendo does with the game as far as they send them some fat checks from the sales.

I doubt they care about BD but they sure as hell do about Final Fantasy. They're not just going to give it over to someone else to use, especially when they've already previously decided that BD is a separate series.
 
not sure if they could just randomly take the Final Fantasy brand themselves but it's possible they could model swap Mario in ?
 
Bravely Default is the silliest videogame title ever.

It's not even so much that it's silly (although it is) it's that it's nonsensical sounding. Bravely Default are two words that don't sound like they should be smashed together like that.

The game might be brilliant as hell, which will cause people to look past its ridiculous name - but that means they're still gonna have to look past the name. It's an unnecessary obstacle.
