>same jobs as Final Fantasy>same magic as Final Fantasy>same items as Final Fantasywhy not just call it Final Fantasy
>>737840070Bravely Default FF
>>737840070Because Final Fantasy is an action game now.
it's just the default
>>737840070Because the final fantasy brand is tainted shit. You don't want to call yourself final fantasy anything.
>I will bravely default on by debts.
>>737840070>Final Fantasy because it might have been their final game if it failed>Bravely Default because Silicon Studios was at risk of defaulting on their loan they took out to keep the company afloat.
Square got it in their heads that Final Fantasy needs to be on the cutting edge of graphics and technology and can't go backwards, so anything that can be seen as "retro" needs to be treated like a spinoff.
>>737840662still a better mindset than most of their competitors because at least they do still think the old style is worth making
Because FF is mainly a cheap action game franchise now. There hasn't been a turn-based FF in over a decade.
>>737840745Sure, but there's a massive talent wasteland at Square and their inability to pick a goddamn direction stretches what few skilled workers there are too thin to accomplish anything. They did something smart by founding a division called Tokyo RPG Factory that was supposed to focus on putting out a lot of lower-budget old-school JRPGs, but they had no budget and no oversight and ended up making a few forgettable, mediocre games before being shut down. Presumably before the company decided to try making a fucking live service game with Foamstars.
>>737840458>>Final Fantasy because it might have been their final game if it failedthis is a fabrication, Squaresoft was not in any financial trouble at the time and FF failing would not have sunk them. The actual truth is that the head of the project would have gone back to law school if the game failed to sell well.
>>737841058as long as we keep getting octopaths i will be satisfied
>>737840070It is called Bravely Default: Flying[/spoiler] FAiry.
>>737841163Ughh but the story is so disparate, I just want a turn-based RPG where I follow a party of characters together from start to end over like 20-60 hours.
>>737841283they did that with octopath 0
>>737841340Isn't that literally an EoS mobile game they regurgitated?
>>737840996Yeah the last turn-based FF was FFX and it's been almost 25 years
>>737841542What a regression.
>>737841404yes and no. it is basically an adaptation of the gacha's orsterra plot, but it makes significant changes to the gameplay. i honestly also think the gacha is totally fine as a jrpg, though, it was only ever at risk of eos in the US. i think we officially got merged with SEA's server last week
>>737841625Hmm I may give it a try then, I've craved an RPG city builder since FFCC: My Life as a King
>>737841404but i mean regardless i really, really liked it
>>737840070Because you can Brave or Default in that game, either using multiple action turns at once or defending and saving actions so you can spend them later down the line.So...better than final fantasy.
>>737840070didn't this start life as a 3d remake of FFV?
>>737841542>The biggest flaw with FFX's gameplay was that there wasn't any good mid-range combat challenges between the main story and the gigasweaty optional bosses>Just want another game to use the CTB combat system>Only game that does is a fucking mobile gacha that died years agoSquare really is the most retarded of the major game publishers. Fucking Konami is stunting on them right now.
>>737841721Kinda, it started as a sequel to 4 warriors of light. The same team was first tasked with doing a 3d remake of FF5 after the fairly good success of the DS remake of FF4.
>>737840996>cheap Square wishes that was true
>>737841917Forever a crying shame we never got FF5 or FF6 DS remakes, especially with SE's bullshit excuses about it being too hard.
What I don't get is why they changed Where The Fairy Flies to Flying Fairy It's in english anyway and it makes sense
>>737842052I'm fairly happy that we have Bravely Default instead of remakes, I'll usually take new titles instead of remakes if I can.
>>737842120because they translation staff are completely dominated by Localizers. they make completely arbitrary and pointless changes to everything they touch
The 2nd half of the game is extremely overhated and I honestly don't understand why. I guess most of the events being technically optional really sets some people off for some reason but they may as well not be optional. You'd be a total fool to skip them. I suppose the only actual bad part is having to charge the JO crystals so many times since it makes your arm sore.
>>737842120You have it backwards, "flying fairy" was the japanese subtitle and "where the fairy flies" the international one.
>>737842189FF6 remake on DS could've unironically been a top 10 game of all time.
>>737840209retard
>>737845258shit, i didn't agree with him before but i do now
Why would you want your kino series to be subjugated under the Final Fantasy umbrella
>>737840132FF hasn't been a real turn-based series like BD since forever>>737842120I always thought it being called "Bravely" instead of "Bravery" was Engrish
>>737840070is there any reason to play the original 3DS one over the original?afaik the "for the sequel" release has-added some mechanics from bravely second, however these dont seem very consequential -added some references to bravely secondremake-removed said mechanics-removed references to BS, however the added bosses just got shuffled to the postgamein either case you can easily bypass the censored outfits by just playing the japanese version and switching to english in the menuso far it just seems like the make or break thing is the updated graphics and non-compressed audioam I wrong?
