First opinions on Bravely Default

[Del Murder]

The greatest thing so far about this game I haven't played is that it doesn't have 'Final Fantasy' in the title. It's a reminder of the days when SE had interesting RPG IPs that weren't called 'Final Fantasy'.

Didn't they announce it as a spiritual sequel to Final Fantasy: Four Heroes of Light? I'm glad it didn't have the Final Fantasy name, too. I've just been thinking about the days when Square took more risks and had a larger variety of not just RPGs but also different genres.

[Del Murder]

Yes, it is a spiritual sequel to FF:FHoL. They could have easily called it Final Fantasy: Bravely Default but I'm glad they didn't.

I have a big backlog of 3DS games but this will definitely have to go on it. 3DS is becoming an awesome system.

I think our 3DS library of physical games just hit 25. Despite having this massive backlog I played Pokemon Y, A Link Between Worlds and Bravely default pretty much on launch day.

I just got the Knight class too. Woooo!

Yes, I am all kinds of tremendous quantities of jelly... glad to hear is good I just don't know what I should set the encounter rate to once i get it!

Def write a review, we can't trust game reviewers anymore!

[Shauna]

He may get a review battered out at some point. If he can ever take a break from playing the game. The 3DS is glued to his hand, I swear. ;P

[Dat Matt]

I need a 3DS

[Jowy]

With everyone comparing this to the second coming of Final Fantasy VI, I feel like I'll be investing in a 3DS sooner than later.

[Depression Moon]

I will if people are looking for it. That may take some time though, I decided to turn the encounter rate to +100% so I can barely move without laying the smackdown now (I am so overleveled already)

I didn't think anyone really liked encounter rates like that. It always caused me to curse when it happened in an FF game. It's really more frequent in the older ones.

You should. 3DS is currently a beast. I bought one cause a friend of Shauna's was selling it super duper cheap (as in £70 for the console, Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 Cheap) and it never really got used aside from a few games here and there. Then suddenly, BAM! 2013 has amazed me with everything that came out.

I am silly, but the fact I can change the encounter rates is amazing. There will be times where I need to travel half way across the map through poisonous environments, or explore a dungeon and I can just set the encounter rate to 0. Alternatively I can be in an area with high exp yielding enemies and grind up a little bit with very little effort.
