Bravely Default: Flying Fairy from Square Enix is the latest RPG announced for the Nintendo 3DS.
A brief announcement trailer shown during the Nintendo 3DS Confernece 2011 today featured a boy on a sailboat and a battle with a giant golem. Visually it featured elements reminiscent of both early Final Fantasy concept art, as well as the Dragon Quest universe.
Little detail on the game was offered, except that it will feature traditional Japanese RPG gameplay and some form of AR content. Square Enix will be giving out AR Cards for the game at TGS later this week.
Bravely Default: Flying Fairy is scheduled for a 2012 release.
Skip to 3:15 for game footage, 4:00 for AR cardPorn.
but I have no idea what they are doing with the AR Card.
"Bravely Default"?! What the **** stupid name is that?!Ian that's a bad example. I immediately thought of a game involving red ballons and an art-style of red emphasis in a black and white world. With French people and calm music. It be a mystery adventure much in the Layton style.
Okay, Japan, you have to learn this. You can't just take two words from another language, put them together, and have a credible name. No one else does this but you. It isn't like we make a game and call it "j'ai rouge". That means "I have red" in French. Makes no sense, right? But you guys in Japan think this is cool for some reason. No one else thinks this is cool! Everyone is snickering behind your back! "Engrish" is not a badge of honour, it's a cheap laugh at your expense.
What are you going for here? That someone is brave by default? Then use something like "The Standard of Courage". "Bravely" is an adverb, not an adjective and "default" is like a nerdy computer term and is never really used in a flattering or cool way. Hire one native English speaker and the problem is solved.
Actually, that phrase would mean to default bravely.By good I stand by whatever the standard position is in the face of all adversity and sense.
