Does anyone have or is thinking about getting this 3DS game? It looks interesting. I downloaded the demo but haven't played it yet.

My CE came in on Friday but I've been busy and/or too tired to play it yet

I've heard good things so far though so I guess...that's sort of a plus

Well it was just released on Friday so they probably spent their whole stock on preorders.

I've been playing it since Friday and it's pretty great so far. It's a throwback to oldschool jrpgs with an extra twist to it with the whole brave/default system. Music and art is fantastic as well. Only started chapter 2 and the story seems pretty generic so far though. Hopefully it'll pick up soon.

I bought the CE and got it Friday. I played the demo beforehand and they put a nice twist on the tactical-based system by adding "Brave" and "Default" actions to it.
I haven't got a chance to really get into it yet (Playing Phoenix Wright and 999 also), but from what I played, it's pretty good.

Some people are calling it a throwback to some of the older FF games as it goes back to the "4 heroes", crystals, etc, but with a more in-depth plot, so chances are if you enjoy the FF games you'll love BD as well.

Pretty much 4 Heroes of Light II, as far as I can see. I was down in Los Angeles today with friends, whereupon one friend bought a copy today. I only got to witness maybe an hour or two of gameplay, but it looked fun enough. Final Fantasy in everything but the name.

Yup, Bravely Default is supposed to be a "spiritual successor" to The 4 Heroes of Light. As you said, Final Fantasy in everything but the name.

Nice catch on my typo! I knew something seemed fishy there. Heh. But yeah, that about sums this game up. Nothing wrong with that direction either. I thought 4 Heroes of Light was really good.

I didn't notice it either until I googled it. lol
Yeah, 4 Heroes of Light was pretty good. I like that they went to the next step with BD and added another layer of mechanics to the gameplay with the Brave and Default system. It worked out pretty well, in my opinion.

Its not "Bravery", it's "Bravely".
Please fix the title.

Anywho, I plan on getting this as one of my first games once I have a 3DS.

EDIT: Warning to OP, the demo of the game I heard is bad. Just get the game.

Demo was great. Easy to break but teaches what the game is well. Just got through the prologue of the main game, been having fun in a Bravely Default chat with a couple bros who are trying it out. We're all pretty hooked. This game is saving Square Enix.

I heard this is a spiritual sequal to Final fantasy the four heroes. Looking forward to playing this game when i get it. Still on pre order though.

Though one of my only complaints is the the guys art style, he tends to create sprite like 3d characters with a bunch of jagged edges, same person who did the FF III and FF VI remakes on the DS.

I'd blame that on the limitations of the DS. The sprites for Bravely Default are nothing short of fantastic.

Wouldn't surprise me. Grind has been in literally every Final Fantasy Title to date, and although this isn't a Final Fantasy game, it originally started off as one until the name changed. From the bits I did see of this game, it looks like they kept everything else the same. Your grind mileage may vary though, depending on playstyle.

From what I heard, according to Reggie (President of Nintendo in America) the reason why it was pushed back was due to all the other huge games coming out. They didn't want Bravely Default or the other games to bury one another so he waited til now to release it.

Like most JRPGs there is grinding, but they do cater to those whom don't want to grind by putting an auto-battle system in. All you need to do is use an item or amp up the difficulty to make monster encounters 100% and run in circles with auto-battle if grinding isn't your thing.

I may buy it later. I don't like the art design for the characters, but that's not what convinced me not to get the game though, as I like many jrpgs and final fantasy games. I'm currently saving for a ps4, so no games for me until the fall probably.

You can fast forward & put battles on auto-play.

I did this the second half of the demo, after I found out that I could, and it literally made grinding practically a non-issue.

I love love love the art style & the gameplay and the environments and everything about Bravely Default, and I've been looking forward to it months before I started playing the demo. Unfortunately I'm stuck at uni right now with no one to take me to buy it)':

FYI, auto-battle copies the last turn you made to a T. So, you take a turn a specific way that'll get you through encounters easily and then turn auto-battle on to just do it over and over. I'd recommend putting the the highest fast forward setting on as well and changing the encounter rate to +100% under the difficulty menu too. It nets you EXP and JP pretty easily.

How much playtime can you expect to get out of this? I'm torn between what to get for my 3DS next. I really enjoyed the latest Fire Emblem and probably put about 100 hours into it. The end game and multiplayer was pretty lacking though and I'm all but done with it now. At the moment it looks like a toss up between this and Monster Hunter, any suggestions would be appreciated though.

Got a copy of the game for me and my boyfriend. The art style is gorgeous, and it makes me remember that Square Enix CAN make good Final Fantasy games, provided they don't have "Final Fantasy" in the title.

Depends what kind of games you like.

Monster Hunter is an action-adventure title with minimal rpg elements. You can expect about 400+ hours with Monhun and you still have time to pick up as Monster Hunter 4G won't be hitting western shores till early 2015.

Bravely Default is about 35-50hours in length. Great game all the way up until the 2nd half of the game. What were SE thinking? No spoilers.

At least we're getting the game, the censorship isn't even bad at all. Especially considering the models aren't exactly anything special to look at. I'd rather get the game with censorship versus not get the game at all.

Played the demo, thought it was pretty decent but didn't feel the Brave/Default added a whole lot, in fact it sometimes got in the way. Graphics are epic, and love the ability to control random encounter rates and battle speed. I'm probably going to buy it spring break or whenever I actually have time to play 3DS in general. So far I'm not fully convinced it's worth it despite having anticipated it for a while. I'm just hoping the job system and other features make it worthwhile.

Not even the same thing.

Some anime is censored while airing on TV, then released uncensored on DVD and BDs. This game was released uncensored but is being censored for its English release.
If DVDs and BDs were being censored for their English releases then it'd be the same as this game.
