Square Enix teasing western release for Bravely Default?
It sounds like Bravely Default: Flying Fairy might be coming to North America and Europe. Maybe. That's what the optimist in me chooses to believe anyway. While this is far from a lock, producer Tomoya Asano addressed western fans via Twitter this weekend and offered some words of encouragement. "There is very much comment from overseas one! I do my best to have all of you play," he said through a translation program. Yes, that's far from an official confirmation. And yes, this is Square Enix we're talking about here. But I'll take take what I can get at this point. At least someone behind this lovely role-playing game is doing something to bring it to a larger audience. Did you know?
