Siliconera: Square Enix producer Tomoya Asano, has been in charge of games such as Final Fantasy III DS, Final Fantasy IV DS, as well as The Four Heroes of Light. Naotaka Hayashi is a scenario writer from MAGES, who’s worked on games such as Steins;Gate, Chaos;Head, and Remember11. Both are jointly developing Square’s next major portable RPG, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy.
Numerous factors are in play when it comes to delivering turn-based combat that feels like it packs the punches it dishes out.
In this first edition of "PunishedChat," a new series where The Punished Backlog's Sam Martinelli interviews friends about various video game related subjects, he discusses the JRPG genre.
Octopath Traveler really blew up, didn’t it? The Nintendo Switch exclusive became a top eShop seller after launch and physical copies were so rare, Square Enix was issuing apologies and asking people to please consider a digital copy if they could not wait. It is a fun RPG to spend 40 to 60 hours playing. But, what if [a player has] already finished the game? What if [they] are ready to follow some new stories?
You aren't finishing this game in 40-60hrs... maybe one or two of the eight character's individual stories.

No where. Traveler has now set a bar that the current Switch library will struggle to reach. High hopes for Fire Emblem and Meteoid both being able to match or surpass it.
Only time will tell if Bravely Default will become the next "Epic" JRPG from Square. But one this is for sure, and thats the fact that is is until proven otherwise a Nintendo 3DS entertainment system exclusive. That way Square can harness and take full advantage of innards of this next generation handheld gaming device. Pouring their very all into this title, giving it its greatest chance of quality and success.
I am one to normally complain about the lack of traditional, and above average JRPG titles. This generation I have only been blessed with Lost Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles, and The Last Story. Most others were probably good but not of my old school tastes. This Nintendo 3DS entertainment system exclusive offering will definitely be on my radar. The waiting game begins.
Rated E For Everyone
Look like what a Final Fantasy game should be lol. Looking forward to it; hoping it come to us
