To sum things up, whats the latest rumor for the localization ?
Is there any chance of it coming to the west or europe?
As much as I want it to happen I... wouldn't hold my breath.

Is Theatrhythm any good ?
I read it is rythm based game, but is hyped, what is special about it ?
I'm listening to the Linked Horizons Soundtrack, and this game cannot come to the west soon enough.

I mean, why square tends to not release their good games in the West is beyond me.
They used to release most all of their games (especially the good ones) except for some anime tie-ins and some more obscure titles only 5 people outside Japan (and 10 IN Japan) are interested in. Those sold like shit and their 3DS software sales so far haven't been the strongest ever so... yeah. Not really that hard to figure out why it's not out yet, as it would probably be an expensive localization. Still, I don't think we are at a stage where we can write off SQEX localizing Bravely Default completely. They are perhaps simply just not prioritizing it over other projects so they'll bring it over when they don't have anything else on the line or maybe Nintendo will finally help bring it over (they've collaborated with Nintendo in the past with the Dragon Quest DS remakes).I mean, why square tends to not release their good games in the West is beyond me.

I am something of an "insider" so to speak and from everything I've heard, Bravely Default is not even on the table as of right now.
Square-Enix usually holds a meeting on a bimonthly basis regarding releasing products "overseas." (EU/US) The last meeting was held mid December and Bravely Default wasn't one of them.
I suppose it is too early to hope for an announcement. However I do understand Kotaku's reaction. IT is infuriating for many EU/US gamers to see that they're only given the scraps.
I myself sometime feel bad for them as most of the people with executive powers over the localisation's decisions have no clue/ disregard what the demand is. It may sound counter-intuitive in such a competitive market and challenging economy, however, keep in mind that here in Japan, it's a safer bet to launch yet another card/social game (like the upcoming Final Fantasy Art collection card "game.")
Hello again folks.
Alright so about the "All the bravest" project and the fact that they've registered two or three domain names at the end of November/start of December.
First of all, it is common practice for many companies to register domain names for games, even if their localisation hasn't been decided yet. The department in charge of registering domains/ paying off web squatters/ maintenance of the above-mentioned websites has the go ahead to do so as soon as they have a project name.
It is unfortunately not synonymous with an imminent announcement. I do not nor pretend to know what this "All the bravest" project is about, only that Bravely Default wasn't discussed for localisation during the mid-December meeting.
It may be that it's possible that they've decided on an hypothetical product name for when/if the product is considered for localisation. It's all it takes for the department to start registering domain names. To cover your back so to speak.
About "one-shot" games that I'd like to see again, Einhander, Vagrant Story (If only Matsuno Yasumi could come back...) Live a Live and an old favourite, Rudora no hinou.
I'll end this message by saying that unfortunately, apart from the ultimate blockbusters like the numbered Final Fantasy games, NO (and I mean it) game is ever considered for a localisation from the start/ producing stages.
And that means a lot when you're trying to understand what's going on with those Japanese companies. If they did, they would be able to streamline their production/localisation processes a lot more. A valid example is the use of comics style bubbles for dialogues which cannot be resized post production. A real plague for any serious localisation team.
I hope for all the non-japanese speakers that they will one day change their minds, but from all the meetings I've attended, I fear it won't be happening anytime soon.
As i told you guys before, the next meeting concerning hypothetical localisations will be mid-February.
Even if they wanted to announce something they couldn't. That's how a japanese company works. It's how stupid it has become, will let you guys know if it shows up during the meeting or not...
I hope it does for your guys' sake, it is a nice game, albeit not as great as some people may make it sound, I enjoyed Sekaiju no Meikyuu much more.
Hello there.
Guess who has good news for you.
Bravely Default will be localised, the decision has been made.
So that's for the good news.
Now for the less good: No date or even a hint of a deadline has been set for the START of the localisation. It seems they're not in any hurry to earn more money and garner respect from the player base.
However this comes with another big news: Something big will happen in Japan around September/start of 4th quarter and it's about a certain FF title haha but I really can't say more. They're currently meeting some of the biggest retailers concerning a big advertising campaign.
I don't know when this will be officially announced however but I suppose this should be good enough news.
Rejoice and be happy. (And keep this quiet if possible. ;p)
With Iwata promising that Nintendo will help third-parties bring their games to west, this is practically guaranteed. It crossed the 250k mark in Japan, so it's ripe for localization.
Are we sure this is legit ?
If there are two titles Nintendo needs to consider for said program, they're DQVII and Bravely Default.With Iwata promising that Nintendo will help third-parties bring their games to west, this is practically guaranteed. It crossed the 250k mark in Japan, so it's ripe for localization.

The guy that posted this is supposdly the one that confirmed All the Bravest was unrelated to Bravely Defualt far before it was announced as a FF title
So, chances are it is legid and coincides indeed with the February Square meeting about localization decisions
but only time will tell, it is better than nothing for sure
Judging by how some Japanese companies act, not being familiar with the Internet doesn't seem too far fetched.1000 see like such a low thing....not that's im complaining.It's like they're aren't even familiar with the internet.
Nintendo wants the 3DS to gain more visibility first and foremost, which wasn't really an issue on DS or GBA (hell, it's not even as big a deal here as on Vita.) For that they'll want to get stuff like this pushed over here, though they'd probably focus on some stuff that couldn't get a publisher otherwise, I actually suspect the Layton series was this initially as it was Level 5's first self published title, but without NA/EU branches.No, absolutely not. Nintendo should use their resources to bring over games from smaller developers that are having trouble finding publishers. Square-Enix needs to get off their lazy asses and do their own damn work for once instead of relying on Nintendo's good will...

Theoretically, how long would a localization take? And when would be a feasible release date?
GameFAQs guy doesn't sound very legitimate. The complete and utter hedge on the All the Bravest thing is one thing, the fact that in the first few posts he sounds like he knows someone who is in the meeting, but the "Something big happening 4th quarter I can't talk about" implies he personally was in the meeting. Whole thing seems sketchy. Especially if that last post came after the Sony PS4 announcement conference, in which case it just seems like reasonable speculation.

Game looks phenomenal and I went ahead and signed the petition. I'm thinking that localisation is a lost cause though.
Maybe he was reluctant to reveal his presence there, since could be obvious as to whom he is
He was spot on with the All the bravest thing though, so why not be legit ?
We should ask him about Versus.
Yes they do, not for everything but for announcements gamefaqs is pretty accurate.Has gamefaqs any kind of positive track-record?
If this guy is in meetings, he would know what All the Bravest is.
Tomorrow I'll post some insider info from the Smash 4 boards, believe me when I say yall ain't ready.
Anyway, hard to believe, especially that last bit.
