"Today, a new page appeared on the Square Enix Members website related to Bravely Default Flying Fairy. Two things were announced on this page: a sequel to Bravely Default is in the works, and the development team have presented a survey for fans to answer questions and help make the sequel an even better experience."
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.
HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.
It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.
@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.
Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
Meanwhile, no sign of this game outside Japan... -_- Nice Enix, nice...
Anyone I have heard taking about this game only has great things to say and it's great it is getting a sequel. However, this makes the fact that we don't have it in US/Europe even more depressing. Even if they could release it on the E-shop, I just want to experience this game!
Seriously many publishers have no idea what the fans want.
Still no mention of a release outside of Japan? This is why region locking games is terrible.
If it's popular enough for a sequel hopefully it's popular enough to release overseas.
