On Twitter, a Japanese gamer said she or he purchased a 3DS just to play Square Enix's latest role-playing game Bravely Default—then asked the game's official Twitter, if there were a sequel, would it also be a 3DS title?
Numerous factors are in play when it comes to delivering turn-based combat that feels like it packs the punches it dishes out.
In this first edition of "PunishedChat," a new series where The Punished Backlog's Sam Martinelli interviews friends about various video game related subjects, he discusses the JRPG genre.
Octopath Traveler really blew up, didn’t it? The Nintendo Switch exclusive became a top eShop seller after launch and physical copies were so rare, Square Enix was issuing apologies and asking people to please consider a digital copy if they could not wait. It is a fun RPG to spend 40 to 60 hours playing. But, what if [a player has] already finished the game? What if [they] are ready to follow some new stories?
You aren't finishing this game in 40-60hrs... maybe one or two of the eight character's individual stories.

No where. Traveler has now set a bar that the current Switch library will struggle to reach. High hopes for Fire Emblem and Meteoid both being able to match or surpass it.
That is good news, especially after seeing that the 1st is one of the finest looking jrpgs of all time on an on the go mobile device. It would make perfect sense right now to keep the sequel exclusive to the industry leading dedicated gaming platform that is the Nintendo 3DS entertainment system. As the install base already exceeds 20 million Nintendo supporters and counting. Which will likely extensively grow after this holiday season.
Just as the Nintendo DS entertainment system before it. The Nintendo 3DS entertainment system is looking to be the chosen landing strip for future AAA jrpg establishments.
Rated E For Everyone
please localize first one
Because if there's anything the region-locked 3DS needs, it's more awesome Japanese games no one will localize.
Of course, considering we're dealing with both Square Enix and NoA in this case... not exactly a surprise.
I just love how this is marked as "news" and not "rumor".
It is blind wishful thinking to take this quote: "Depending on the circumstances, I don't think it would change. Because I think a lot of people bought a 3DS for Bravely Default."
And turn it into:
"Bravely Default's Inevitable Sequel Will Probably Be On 3DS."
Great "journalism" there.
If any of you wonder why people get all hyped and then upset about localizations, its because people report rumors as "facts" and then when those "facts" don't come to pass they get upset.
