Square Enix has released screenshots of its upcoming 3DS game
Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, showcasing the magnificent art style. Looking at these screens, one cannot help but be reminded of concept art. The direction seems to be a mash up of

Parasite Eve and
Chrono Trigger) is directing the project, supported by producer Tomoya Asano (remakes of
FFIII and
FFIV,
Grandia Extreme) and lead art directer/character designer Akihiko Yoshida (
FFTactics,
Vagrant Story). With a combination of influences from popular Square Enix titles,

Bravely Default have been revealed.
