Square's Oddly Named Bravely Default: Flying Fairy Coming To 3DS

And would you believe this is a Square Enix game? Yes, the company responsible for such names as Kingdom Hearts 358/2 and Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy is back with another head-scratching title.

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy was shown briefly at Nintendo's Tokyo Game Show press conference, and didn't reveal much other than the game will utilize the 3DS' augmented reality features.

The clip showed detailed 3D environments, traditional Final Fantasy-like overworld movement, a woman wearing a dress way to short for her, beautifully animated bosses, boat travel, and little else other than that it's slated for a 2012 release.

Flying Fairy? ugh...
by Ace Delos Santos Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 12:38 AM

strange name, but maybe it could be just as good as Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy

I heard the game looks really good. I need to find the press conference footage to check all the games out.

Edit: Just discovered Nintendo's Japanese website has videos from the press conference. Probably all of them, I just started watching the Zelda stuff.

I really couldn't care less about what the name of a game is, so long as it's good. Too bad the clip isn't in this story though. In due time, I guess.

the picture is enough to make me scratch my head. but know this gamers, usually the names in japan change when they come to the states, at least in anime.
by styx971 Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 02:02 AM

one of the best things they've come up with lately from the looks of it (imo) watched the live stream
by Angus Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 02:03 AM

Well weird name but it doesn't matter if it's a good game. I'm hopeful but with the way square enix has been lately... anyway big hopes for more great jrpgs on 3DS after such a gold mine on DS

Wearing a dress way too short is a great American pastime, I didn't know it was popular in Japan too. Silly Name I hope its a cool game that comes stateside.

I see...

Square Enix is just barely making it these days. If it weren't for all the KH/FF fans and some Deus Ex fans they would be screwed just like the rest of the Japanese gaming industry...or at least most of the industry some products/series are still lasting this far just aren't doing that well outside Japan.

Wow the art looks great, looks like it's by the artist who did tactics ogre and war of the lions, love his art style, very storybook-ish, but yeah, weird name hahaha, had me scratching my head for a moment there before reading the actual article.
by AuthenticM Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 04:52 AM

Gotta love those thighs.
by Opfer der Seele Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 06:03 AM

Sounds... weird. But you never know until it comes out.
by DoctorNight Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 06:49 AM

Very strange name, but we'll see how good it is when it comes out, (please don't be weird! Oh who am I kidding, this game is going to be weird!).
by Atech Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 06:51 AM

Wow what a lucky duck!
by Meta77 Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 07:04 AM

hey who said that dress is to short. if she wants it like that than good for her ;3. woo woo
by Stitch Jones Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 07:25 AM

More failure in the Square-Enix world. How the mighty continue to fall.
by Brawldud Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 07:25 AM

What kind of name is that???

(Rhetorical question, I know it's just a Square Enix title)
by Rabid Moocow Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 08:48 AM

As long as it has a woman wearing a short dress, people will play it.

"...didn't reveal much other than the game will utilize the 3DS' augmented reality features."
