North American RPG fans have been shafted when it comes to localization recently. But with Square Enix registering domains for something called All The Bravest, that may soon change.
Japanese 3DS owners saw the release of Bravely Default: Flying Fairy this past October. Its release was met with high critical praise. With Square Enix registering new domains for allthebravest.com and allthebravest.net, as well as filing for European trademark, it might be making its way west. Though, I’m not quite sure why the game would be renamed All The Bravest, which is why this is all currently speculation.
Bravely Default was a follow-up to Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light, a spin-off from the traditional Final Fantasy series. Minus all the corridor running and lack of actual gameplay the series has been mocked for recently. Instead, the game was a throwback to it’s RPG roots with a modern look.
Whether or not all this fuss is about a local release of Bravely Default is unknown. But then again, we got a chance to play Xenoblade: Chronicles and The Last Story, so I guess anything is possible. For all we know, this could be an entirely new IP. According to the official trademark filing, we at least know it’ll be a video game. Square Enix has yet to publicly comment on the matter.
