Bravely Default
"Bravely Default" was first announced in September 2011 as part of Nintendo's 2012 lineup for the platform. In the run-up to release, multiple demos were developed, and the team adjusted the game using feedback from players. "For the Sequel" was the version chosen for overseas release, being localized without any subtitle. In both Japan and overseas, "Bravely Default" met with strong sales and critical acclaim. Common praise went to the gameplay's mixture of traditional mechanics and new elements, along with its storyline, graphics and music. Main points of criticism were its repetitive late-game stages and elements of its social gameplay. "Bravely Default" spawned multiple media tie-ins and spin-off games. A direct sequel, "", was released in 2015 in Japan and 2016 overseas for the 3DS, while another sequel set in a new world, titled "Bravely Default II", was released worldwide in 2021 on the Nintendo Switch.
