Here is some (very) pretty footage of Bravely Default: Flying Fairy

57 Comments

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy may be the weirdest name for a game I’ve ever heard but, as you can see in the video after the break, the game is gorgeous. It is a traditional Japanese RPG, which may turn some people off, since we can expect turn-based combat and similar staples, but at least we can admire its prettiness.

  • S.T.K.

    look’s great :)

  • Adrian

    More than half Of that was in the AR demo, no? Damn that demo was great.

  • S.Chapstik

    The reason I’m excited is because its a traditional RPG. Sure, it may get repetitive sometimes. I’m looking forward to the story of this game. RPG’s in my opinion tend to have lengthy and satisfying story

    • Sarah

      Same here. If I ever get super excited about a game, it’s usually because I expect it to have a good story with great characters… Which is why I’m excited about this game. ^_^

      And the art style is gorgeous. I can’t wait. Definitely a day one buy for me.

  • Maande

    Gonna get it on day 1!
    The character’s movement is perfectly smooth. Now if only we can see how the girl in the game image is implemented in the game.

  • Xarreno

    This is great! Companies should take this approach to the art style more often. That being, the concept art is the game, or the background to the foreground is completely the artwork (Looking like a painting in motion).

    I’m very thrilled for this title, I hope there are some plot twists and the such.

    • nicehat

      kids nowadays watch porn earlier than they should,so…..

    • Belinni

      I watched porn before I was even born.

  • Joba

    Doesn’t look that pretty to me o.O Almost like a N64 game.

      Says “troll” because everybody else is saying it.

      …Seriously? It’s nicer looking than alot of Gamecube titles I’ve played. Go play with your Pita.

    • *error the 2nd*

      TROLL!

    • ScaledDown

      I agree.

      Goblin…oops, i mean troll

    • Joba

      How does that make me a troll? It’s a fact. Even Resident Evil 1 on PS1 had graphics similar to this. All the backgrounds are pre-rendered and even those look only decent by today’s standards.

      Btw I’ve never owned a Sony or Microsoft console.

    • ScaledDown

      Yeah, pre-rendered backgrounds with low poly, low detailed characters does not make it pretty.

  • JOSHUA

    Cool

  • EpicLight

    Love the music. Getting it just for the music. Music ftw. <3

    • S.Chapstik

      me too, music is great

    • Dave

      MEE TOO! THAT MUSIC!

    • http://www.yahoo.com GameManiac

      Definitely enjoying the music.

  • nicehat

    “It is a traditional Japanese RPG, which may turn some people off”

    Hell no,I grew up with traditional Japanese RPG.
    It’s still the best for me.

    • S.Chapstik

      i actually made a gamefaqs post about this subject saying that RPG’s are the best and it seems like less traditional are coming out and its very sad.

  • Stool

    Video does look nice! But am I the only one thinking that these are not 3DS graphics but look somewhat like Wii?

  • DK

    Dang I can’t wait for this game! I want it because it IS a traditional JRPG. Its my favorite genre and I’m kinda peed that these new RPGs are straying from the path so to speak. Although I think the future of RPG could be saved if more developers would take the Star Ocean: Till the End of Time gameplay mechanic its already perfect!

  • invictus

    This game looks RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I nearly pissed my pants when watching this footage. Traditional RPGs run in my veins too and I can’t get enough of them. The graphics are gorgeous. Music is perfect. CAN’T WAIT.

    BTW…if anyone is interested…here is my translation of the above footage:

    (The character walks down the stairs and begins talking.)
    “Hello there!”
    “Hey you! You, out there! You got a second?”
    “Actually, right now I’m looking for something.” “Something called an ‘AR Marker’.”
    “What do you think? Could I get you to help me?”
    (The player selects ‘YES’.)
    “Thank you! Right, I’m counting on you!”
    (The screen fades and it shows footage until the character runs up to a treasure chest and opens it.)
    “Received Ether.”

    :)

      Oh, so THAT’S what he said.

      Thank you for the translation.

      (I really need to learn Japanese).

  • Jordon

    I hate prerendered backgrounds…

  • Han Solo

    Looks good but I hate turn based games. Reminds me of Soma Bringer (Visually, not the gameplay).

  • Dave

    It looks AWESOME!
    Simply for the music, I have to get it!!

    “Bravely Default: Flying Fairy may be the weirdest name for a game I’ve ever heard (…)”

    Well, you’ve never heard of Solatorobo: Red the Hunter.

    • S.Chapstik

      Im interested in that game. Isnt it out already? And if so, what is your opinion of it?

    • Makaioshin

      Its got favorable reviews. I heard one insane, random gmae, but pretty fun. Can’t say that I know that firsthand though.

  • Cornholio

    Damn! Nice music.

  • Captain Falcon

    Am I the only one thinking the environments
    (the ship in this case) looks like still images?

    • http://4chan sage

      that’s because they are.

      will the game even be localized? do you guys even know ANYTHING about the game? so eager for a day 1.. gee.

    • Tails the Foxhound

      I believe they are hand painted, so no you’re not the only one.

  • http://www.ageofwonder.org Paulio

    Its nice to have beasties wait their bloody turn! Bring on the Japanese RPGs, because they are the best kind!

  • CrimsonalCore

    Zelda

  • JacknZack

    I usually skip games with turn based battles but i might give this one a try if it comes out after all nintindo’s first party games.

  • Tails the Foxhound

    It’s hand drawn backgrounds remind me of Riviera: the Promised Land for the GBA. I am completely okay with this.

    • Boo!

      This game.

      It needs to be localized.

      Now.

      As a note, does anyone else think the music sounds vaguely like some of Yoko Shimomura’s work?

  • Darth_Moose

    God, this game is stunning.

  • mush

    Ohh the music’s so nice, especially the beginning tune. Doooodoodoodoodoooooo.. xD

  • Anonymous

    sooo cozy ^_^ I love it!

  • Dragoon

    The music is beautiful!
