We knew that Square Enix’s Nintendo 3DS title Bravely Default would be arriving in North America near the beginning of 2014, and now the game’s official release date has been revealed, along with a snazzy Collector’s Edition. The highly anticipated RPG will be available on February 7, 2014. The Collector’s Edition, available the same day, will include the game, an art book, 34 AR cards, and a soundtrack CD for music lovers (like myself). Nintendo of America finally saw fit to release a trailer for the game that Europe already got (albeit with the updated release info for North America at the end), which you can view above.

The game will feature new mechanics that revolve around defaulting in battle to earn “brave points.” Having a character default in battle causes them to defend against enemy attacks, which accumulates brave points. These can be spent on special moves later on, including unleashing combo attacks and freezing enemies mid-battle to deal extra damage.

Will you be getting the Bravely Default Collector’s Edition or the game by itself? Or will you pass on it altogether? Leave a comment and let us know!

In addition to being a girl gamer, Holly prides herself on being a red-head. Consequently, the blue shell in the Mario Kart series is her natural enemy. Don't worry, though: she still loves Mario Kart and is very good, despite the occasional blue shell-sabotaged race. Like any Nintendo fan, Holly also loves Zelda, Pokemon, Mario, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Kirby...you name it. But she'll try just about anything (besides horror games) and has a soft spot for unique, little-known rhythm games like Rhythm Heaven and Samba de Amigo. NNID: Aeroweth

  1. I’m excited but now I have to wait again…next year…

  2. Yep, me too! But I must say, this is one of the many times lately that I’m a tad upset with NoA. Europe’s getting this in December, Japan’s had it forever (exaggeration). Why make us wait, huh Nintendo?!

  3. I doubt I’d get the collector’s edition but I am interested in the game. I don’t like the odd release times either, but I plan on getting Zelda and Layton next anyway so I guess I can wait.

  4. It’s even more difficult to believe that the man has 35,
    000 followers, many of whom interact with him to show their support.
    As levelling up is the name of the game and this gives you a 5% bonus on job experience it will make getting to the
    upper levels much easier. Mayweather’s villain role pays well, I know, but he could
    shut it off once in a while. Hearts of Iron II: Armageddon Hidden & Dangerous Deluxe.
    I can’t fight the system, so in the meantime I keep
    my thoughts on positive things that uplift me.
