Bravely Default Trailer is Full of Pretty Clichés

by on November 7, 2013
 

Nintendo have released a cliché filled trailer for upcoming 3DS Square Enix JRPG Bravely Default.

Crystals? Check. Calamity striking a seemingly rural village? Indeed. Airships? Quite pretty ones at that.

Yet whereas some RPG’s do cliché bad, there’s still a lot to be encouraged about in this trailer for Bravely ‘it’s not called Final Fantasy, but it is a Final Fantasy’ Default.

Sides, it’s written by the mind behind Steins:Gate, a game that involves far too much time travel for it’s own good, so I hesitate to believe that it’s going to be that simple.

It’s just really incredibly pretty, and it’ll be great to have a plot focused JRPG on 3DS to offset the more battle minded Pokémon X/Y and more ‘bastard-hard’ minded Etrian Odyssey IV. Bring it on, says I.

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
