As painfully silly as its name may be, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy was one of my personal 3DS highlights to come out of Tokyo Game Show. On top of looking gorgeous, it's also experimenting with augmented reality. Speaking with Square Enix's Tomoya Asano, Inside Games was able to learn a little more about the game.
- No-pants girl is just one of the story's four main characters
- Gameplay is turn-based with random encounters; both jobs and abilities come into play
- Apparently there is a light (the "flying fairy") above your character
- The sound staff are "interesting people" who have not previously worked with Square Enix
Perhaps if I keep typing out Bravely Default, the name won't sound so alien. Worked for Bionic Commando and a number of other NES titles.

Still could be great i guess.
As it should be, it's obvious this game is meant for those who gave up on Final Fantasy post-IX.
I liked everything about golden sun 1-3
Where as something like DragonQuest is a great example of a game from the same company with a unique art style that no one would mistake for anything other than DragonQuest.
This art style has more in relation to chrono trigger and 4 heroes of light than any FF.
I'm guessing this could be great!
with augmented reality :D
Bleh, that's killed a lot of my interest.
I came.
This game is rocketing up on my "Do want!"-chart.
I do love me some good turn based random encounter rpg's too.
Some people may think that sucks... I think that's the best news I've heard in YEARS for the genre. Seriously, since when have random battles with turn-based combat hurt RPGs like Final Fantasy 7, Skies of Arcadia, Pokemon White & Black, Lost Odyssey, Shadow Hearts: Covenant, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Dragon Quest IX, or so many other timeless RPGs?
This is what I WANT and I was worried turn-based battles with random encounters were going to disappear. This is beyond great news to hear.
Let it rock.
And 4 Heroes of Light *is* a FF game.
Its a combo of the chrono trigger backgrounds and 4 warriors of light.
And yes 4 warriors of light is an ff gaiden but this isnt
