Bravely Default: Flying Fairy

[Aeolus]

I'm hoping it's a localized title announcement.

That's what I'm thinking (hoping) too.  I don't know if it being filed in Europe helps that idea or not.  If that's the name they go with, probably for the best.  Less Engrish.

Assuming that is the case, how will they be able to keep that horrible horrible pun that's in the JP title?

All the Bravest: Flying Fairy?

It's not really that relevant.

I'm more curious if they'd release a black 3DS case as well... Mmm

Look at me getting ahead of myself. D:

So a proper sequel is now in the works instead of yet another browser games.

If they have a go ahead on the sequel I half expect they'd bring the original over to see if it can work out here. If they don't I'd have to wonder if SE's fully decided to just not bother with JRPG releases if they're not guaranteed (FF) or cheap releases here.

Alleged inside scoop says BraveDefault is back on the table and green-lit for localization. 

But I'm also one of them "see it to believe it" types.

Haha, he even throws there a teaser about "a certain FF title" to be shown around September. Isn't September the month of TGS in Japan?

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.

Usually September, yes.  My guess most likely a HD port of FF7.

AH HAHAHA.

Seriously though it's probably something concrete finally being revealed on FFvXIII.

Me too, especially after, you know, Type-0.

I forgot about versus which it probably is, but hear me out I steadfastly believe that it's coming on the PS4.  I don't personally give a fuck, but it's coming. 

• They love ports.
• They love easy cash.
• People bugged the shit out of them for it.
• They may have been waiting for more powerful hardware to make it live up to what they wanted
• It would possibly be a system seller.

     
Unless they don't want to ruin a "classic" in their fanboy's eyes, I cannot think of any reason why they wouldn't.

Well, there's the whole deal with the new FF in production for PS4 that some people want to believe is Versus renamed to XV.

But I don't know... maybe they show something completely new for PS4 and Versus is ends up coming for PS3 after all these years. Whatever they do, it would be nice if they'll stop fucking around with people's expectation.

Or at that very least, they could localize Bravely Default WHICH I WOULD HAVE PLAYED IN JAPANESE BUT HEYO REGION LOCKED 3DS

Games are expensive. Especially the kind of remake fans are clamoring for.

What's SMARTEST I think is a slightly updated 3DS or even Vita title, not something that's a full blown remake but may upscale and touch up the backgrounds, update the character models a little, and retranslate the game. Less Zero Mission and more FFIV GBA or PSP. But at this point they backed themselves in a corner with that tech demo, and it didn't help they DID announce ports/updates to VII-IX on PS2 (probably before they realized it was just more practical to keep selling the PS1 games to play on PS2.)

Damn you for getting my hopes up!

IMO, the safe money is on XIII-3 getting a Japanese release date and another iOS title to cash in on (maybe a Versus prequel chapter or some horseshit). The unlikely bet though would be Versus getting renamed XV and a prequel iOS title cash in (they've abandoned everything else about that XIII compilation thus far, they just need to finish it off with a Versus conversion), which I'm falling back on in case Batman Lightning Returns comes out before then. The "Goddammit Japan!" bet would be an FF heroine dating sim (or god help us, an FF hero Otome game) because the FF brand has been slapped on games from every other genre that doesn't take effort to make (they haven't made an FF themed platformer yet, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one since that would involve effort on Squeenix's part). And finally the "It's too goofy to not be a distinct possibility!" bet is when Squeenix reveals XV and it turns out to be a Browser based game like Farmville.

Honestly though, I just want those 3DS remakes of FFs V and VI already.


Fake Edit: Plus you know that when Squeenix inevitably rename Versus into XV they're going to come up with the cheesiest/Engrishy justification for it (Future Quote; Squeenix Guy: "So the 'X' in the number stands for the ties XV shares with the epic XIII saga while the 'V' represents the formerly named 'Versus'. Brilliant as usual!").
