So basically, each character has one move, and you just tap them each time their turn is up and they perform their one move...I'm not finding this very intriguing :(

Can you acquire more moves?

It's a $3.50 iApp with a cash shop to buy random characters.

I don't think I could pass any faster without breaking a few laws of physics first.

I didn't see anything that specified that you could, but I can't rule it out... still the combat system sounds like a bit of a snooze :(
Just from what I'm reading of this, it seems like a bit of a lore based cash grab.

Honestly I figured on a cash shop as soon as I heard about the price. $3.50 is the cheapest I've ever seen an SE app. I'll give the base a try at least.

More info from PSP Fanboy

Quote:
Final Fantasy All The Bravest is a chaotic, combat-focused RPG coming to iOS tomorrow, January 17, priced at $3.99. The New Zealand App Store description describes continuous fights with enemies based on the series' Active Time Battle staple, and as the trailer above shows these fights involve character-stuffed parties, with as many as 40 party members taking on enemies at once. It's a good thing attacking is simply done via taps or drags across multiple characters. Another twist comes via 'Fever,' an event that occurs once every three hours and, when activated, lets you attack without waiting for ATB gauges to fill.

All The Bravest features 20 progress-unlockable characters, all based on series jobs like Thief, Blue Mage, and Knight. There are a further 35 'Premium' series characters such as Cloud from FF7 available via in-app purchases, priced $0.99 each. In a cheeky move, each purchase provides you with a new character at random, meaning it might take more than a few goes if you're after a specific one. You can also purchase additional stages based on areas from Final Fantasy 7, 10, and 13, available as 'World Tickets' for $3.99.

All The Bravest features 30 songs from the series, most of which unsurprisingly are battle themes, as well as leaderboards and social networking options. We've reached out to Square Enix for further details on the game and its release in other regions.

What final fantasy has been reduced too.... A touch screen gimmick lol

Well i hope it sells well, they do need the money Smiley: lol

Better than all the overpriced ports they're doing. At least it's new(ish) IP. I would rather see them make new games for mobile devices than all these ports that don't translate well.

Huh. It's like Bubble Pop but with FF characters, then.

Tune in next week where SE will release an iPhone game where you can place Cloud in a sling shot and send him crashing into a fort housing Sephiroth clones. Smiley: lol

A bare-bones "tap the screen" minigame with at least 95% reused assets and micro-transactions doesn't seem better than bringing Bravely Default over here, translating of Bahamut's Lagoon, or porting Secret of Mana...

You know what really annoys me out of this, is not that is an obvious move to milk the fans that will buy anything that says Final Fantasy regardless of how horrible it is.... Is that they have resources to make this ******** games, yet they don't have resources to port Final Fantasy Type-0 which is their best game in the last 10 years hands down.... and would be a excellent introductory game into FFXIV since they share similar themes.

I would love to see Bravely Default ported. I really don't get that, they would make money hand over fist on that game. XSEED has it right, I buy so many of their games which consist mainly of obscure JP ports Smiley: laugh

This has become apparent in many titles, ONE, the gamers opinions no longer matter, or like the kotaku article here states, that we arent informed enough on the title before its released, which is a marketing strategy that works, b/c if something looks even remotely tempting youll go plop $60 on it and bam theyve earned some net, gameplay footage is the obvious choice to selecting games... but people still want hands on... so theyre still selling all these sloppy titles with no drawback,

also, after the game is released, the most important thing we can do is inform within the forums, like how some games don't offer the option to walk.... disgusting but what we usually have are idiots defending the game against the few that aren't afraid to post criticism on a board that developers frequent....

...eh

Or it could be those "idiots" actually like the game. I know it's shocking that people might have an opinion different than yours, but try to keep an open mind, or you won't do well around here.

Oh, they will -- just keep the faith! We got Four Warriors of Light in the West, and Bravely Default is the spiritual successor. We'll certainly be getting that Dragon Quest VII remake, too, so it stands to be a great year for 3DS RPGs.

The only problem with the game is question, though, is its name. That needs a touch of localization. I don't see it getting many interested looks with a name like Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, which sounds like the meeting of a confused Korean MMORPG and a saccharine "for girls" game. With a name like that, it may as well be called Harmonic of Lesser: Rainbow Dancers.

Also, it makes me think of Zam every time I hear it, lol. In fact, maybe we should start saying that title instead of "flame shield" around here -- e.g.: "I hate What Yoshida's doing to the game! /BravelyDefault!"

So when someone posts criticisms for the devs to read, and someone comes along and sais deal with it(usually in a rude manner, b/c having the ability to walk or holster your weapon when not needed is an addition only morons or people who hate the game will mention) is that not "their"(being "those idiots" ) way of bashing someones opinion? Yet you think I find it shocking to see that others have opinions. I can respond with my own opinion, disagree but I do understand that it is my opinion.
