Bravely Default II - A Brave New Battle (trailer)
- Thread starter Khanimus
- Start date
Feels like even Nintendo doesn't want to spend to much marketing money on this game at this point. Gonna wait for reviews but it feels like SE shoehorned this one in and hope Nintendo marketing/publishing publishing wood handle the rest lol.
Best Part of the trailer.
I liked the first one a lot, but I'm so put off by the character models I'm not interested in this one. I know that sounds insane but I really, really don't like the way this game looks.
pretty bad trailer that could have just explained the battle system for newbies without a stupid gimmick. the fact that this game is just getting dumped out without much fanfare at the end of feb is telling
Who even owns the rights to Shadow Hearts now?
This trailer doesn't address anything that deviates from the original's battle system though?(like the turn order)
Looks fantastic. Really not warming to the character models but can't wait to dig in. The JRPG we need right now in these dark times.
Hey at least they've got feet. Fire Emblem character's on 3DS would be so jealous.
The game looks nice, but this trailer, huh.. If anyone's on the fence about getting this game, this isn't what's gonna push them to buy it.
The narration made me feel bad about the way I play BD lmao
Side note, I just realized that the battle theme is a remix of FFV's battle theme

Literally nobody in the entire world does. Probably not even the developers.
I don't mind them, and I think it looks interesting when combined with the strangely super-textured environments and clothing - they seem to be going for a miniature puppet/doll look similar to Link's Awakening for Switch and I think it works. It remains to be seen whether they can emote well in cutscenes I suppose.
I love the systems in these games, the characters could be all ASCII and I would still play them
It doesn't sound insane at all. I don't mind chibi style models, I love the designs in Alliance Alive for instance. There's something about the plasticky texture that really turn me off these designs. They should have gone cell shaded, maybe something closer to Genshin Impact.
It's not insane. Unlikeable characters are a no-go for good storytelling. It's like watching a movie with really unlikeable main characters you can't identify with. Why should you care about what happens to them when you don't like them in the first place?
Pretty much. Like I know the battle system is good bc I played the 3DS games but even I was bored by this trailer lol. Not sure how it's supposed to attract new players.
IGNORING THE HATE IN THIS THREAD
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! This will most likey be GOTY for me unless that new Zelda game comes out at the end of the year.

They look so lifeless, even when interacting with each other, that I feel it's going to be hard to care about them.
It's not hate, it's just general unconformity with the models.
Not really, it does look bad. If it looked more like the first 2 games or FFT I would probably be interested.
Well, this is just me, but if their interactions themselves are interesting, it doesn't matter how they look or how they say their parts. Of course, it's a bad point for presentation, but... You have the text down there, if that's good, then you're good to go.
Yeah ... that and the Brave-system. Honesty, Bravely Default never was that good IMHO. Gave up on the first game mid-game and heard really bad things about the second half of the game. Didn't play the second yet.
They should have build on Octopath Traveler concept. Way more potential and superior, timeless art-style.
At least people aren't complaining about the price, which was the cornerstone of the Octopath's hype threads.
IMO the game looks considerably better than the originals did, and I think people selecting them are just cherry picking nice looking screenshots rather than watching footage. The chibi look with lots of DoF is a nice way to translate old-school designs to look like little figurines, and is also a nice sidestep to how the original games had 3D thus "actual" DoF. I'm also a sucker for any game that has dozens of classes with distinct designs for each character, which is super rare even among the FF series (many/most just have Male/Female outfits).
Good thing it's not either/or. Octopath sequel is no doubt in development at Acquire.
The Brave/Default system is awesome though.=P
