Western Release Of Bravely Default Confirmed As Improved Version
Technically, getting a Western release of Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, Square Enix’s critically-acclaimed so-far-Japan-only JRPG, in our native tongues counts as an improved version to me. But while it’s great that Squenix finally confirmed the 3DS game for Europe in 2013 and America in 2014, gamers were slightly concerned when the company announced an updated version with expansion content, misleadingly titled Bravely Default: For the Sequel. It features better battles, better UI, better graphics, and more content in general that may hint at a sequel. Interestingly, it also has multiple language options (including English), which made everyone concerned about whether or not this better version was the one the rest of the world would also be getting.
Thankfully, Square Enix explained that “the overseas edition is based on ‘For the Sequel’.” That means unlike other improved versions of games like Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix that we never get, the game will take after improved versions like Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Maniax that the US did see under their original name. Hooray for happy endings!
