[up]That explains it. I've never cared for FF so that's probably why I didn't think it looked interesting.

Makes sense.

I honestly prefer normal Turn-based. Never liked those kinds of time limits.

None the less, I might look into that series.

Is it just me, or does LBX remind anybody of Custom Robo?

[up]x3 There isn't really that much info to discuss right now, plus that thread gets sidetracked really easily by random stuff like competitive questions and arguments about whether a flower fairy or a T-Rex is cuter.

Honestly, most RPGs are pretty boring at the beginning because there's very little you can do, few abilities you have, either too much or not enough direction, etc. A demo for an RPG just seems like it would enhance these qualities, since you barely have a chance to do anything that would be cool to do in an RPG, if you have that chance at all.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

Thus why there was a demo for BD set quite a bit into the game with an original plot so there are no spoilers aside from usable Asterisks.

Well, that's just dangerously spoilery.

It's a seperate scenario made for the demo only, so it shouldn't spoil anything beyond game mechanics. And I don't think that counts as actual spoilering.

The demo also allows you to carry over some data to the full game.

Well, it's just some minor extra starting items and gear, plus any Street Passes you might get.

IMO the BD demo isn't particularly indicative of the game itself, since it's pretty much just 20 Bear Asses quests in a very restricted area of the game, something the actual game never stoops to. Going by it alone, I could see how a lot of people would be turned off the game.

Second's demo adds some of the Asterisk bosses that people love Default for and is a little more story oriented, so maybe give that one a try when it hits the western E-shop.

Oh indeed, the demo has terrible quest design and no story.

But I think the primary focus in it is letting people mess with the unique combat system.

I thought the Bravely Default demo was kinda neat in that it had as much content as your average downloadable game, but completely free. People have even compared it to Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes in terms of content.

Industry insider Dr. Serkan Toto says Nintendo is having two meetings this week, the Quarterly investor meeting and something to do with DeNA.

I'm kinda surprised they still haven't started doing them yet, either. I mean, they probably halted them out of respect for Mr. Iwata, but I would have thought they had started doing them again already.

Truthfully, even though he seemed to moving away from Directs (obviously in preparation for his death) I'm wondering if they've given up on the directs entirely due to Iwata passing away.

Maybe someone in the company never liked them, and is using Iwata's demise to cut the fat?

.....Or maybe I'm being far too cynical.

We just need information about the Smash Ballot and upcoming games.

Directs will be back. NOA already confirmed it via interviews and new hires. They just don't feel like all their small news of filler games and updates/DLC to existing ones are worth reviving them for. They probably don't want another big Direct like event until they have something big to show (aka NX). Smash DLC might get something like Robin/Lucina did, but that's it for the year.

As for the upcoming meeting, I mostly care about that mobile game they're supposed to unveil and release this year. Still betting on Nintendogs. The Club Nintendo replacement is also interesting, but that might have been delayed.

The guy who did the WSJ NX reports was at the financial meeting and heard Kimishima say Directs are coming back with one scheduled by the end of the year.

DeNA project updates tomorrow.

Damn it, just as I finally accepted that we wouldn't get any for the year.
