1UP: "Despite the title, Square Enix's latest import release is pure, classic Final Fantasy."
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.
After seeing a few of the extended gameplay videos I had the same view of this Nintendo 3DS entertainment system exclusive. Bravely Default looks to be a jrpg done properly.
Bravely default is very much a Final Fantasy inspired game. The earlier traditional Final Fantasy titles before they were inspired by western development. A traditional turn based battle system to compliment the old school majestic feel. Which I appreciate very much.
The Nintendo 3DS entertainment system is slowly becoming the official home for traditional jrpg titles. Just as the original Nintendo DS entertainment system had accomplished before it. I am looking forward to more positive news, and gameplay videos from this Nintendo platform exclusive. My hat is tipped in favor of Square Enix for doing the right thing.
Rated E For Everyone
Am I the only one that doesn't like the character models in battle? It's like FFIV on DS. It's just impossible to take seriously when they look like that...
This game must have A TON of content to look like that.. I feel the same with disgea on ps3/vita.. It looks like ps1 graphics but theres so much in it that its understandable to a point..
Yeah, I'd love to import the game. Especially since Square Enix has no plans to bring it over.
Oh, wait--Nintendo region-locked the 3DS.
Oh, well. Maybe I'll just import Type-0 on my Vita. Especially since Square-Enix has no plans to bring it over.
Oh, wait--Square Enix doesn't put any of its games up on the PSN store.
