[Artemisia]

Someone download it and explain how the brave/default system actually enhances gameplay. I mean, why not just attack twice instead of skipping a turn?

 

[Shadowlink]

I actually don't mind waiting. We have two games releasing next week that will keep me company until then.

 

[gngf123]

[zroid]

my jelly is beyond compare

what kind of demo is it? Japan got like 4 of them I believe. Is it one of theirs, or something new? or maybe a combination of them?

 

[Moobabe]

It's up in Holland.

DAMN YOU HOLLAND!

We're up in the UK now

I'm with you brother. Tears.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Can anyone explain this, please:

You can experience a unique side story in the Bravely Default demo, available from Nintendo eShop now. Collect items to take forth into the main quest, plus view special content by downloading and printing out these Bravely Default AR Cards.

Does this mean the demo has a side story not included in the full game?

You skip "Default" a turn you pile up your "Bravely" meter which you can max to 3, you get 1 per time you Default, when you rack it up it allows you to let your character attack 3 times in a row.

If you choose to Bravely without any stock it will go to minus, ie. -3, and for 3 turns your character can do nothing. This is negated by Defaulting so you have stocks to attack, what's more Bravely meters carry through to the next battle, so if you finish in the negative, you can't take an action till it turns back to 0.

 

[Fisico]

Up too in France, downloading

Do regular actions use the bravely meter, or is it only used when you attack more than once?

 

[FryHole]

Did they mention the demo was going up during the Direct? I missed it if so.

Also - demo has English voiceover only. May God have mercy on us all.

So it is kind of like Chrono Cross? Or did I completely fail to understand...

Oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Gonna tell my local shop to keep a copy for me should he get one from UK/EU X3

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Not sure from what I read will confirm via demo but I don't believe it does, also a note that enemies can also Bravely and Default as well.

Did they mention the demo was going up during the Direct? I missed it if so.

Yes it was mentioned on the Direct

 

[dc89]

Welp. It's sooooo beautiful. And it looks like a brilliant RPG, so many job/class types!

 

[Celine]

[JimPanzer]

beautiful music! but the game could really use some anit alialising, looks shitty on my 3DS XL

edit: don't get me wrong, I love the art-style, it just washes out a bit too much on the XL for my taste. may have played too much on my vita lately.
