Operation Brave: Bring Bravely Default Flying Fairy To The West!

, 5th January 2013 at 10:57 AM (695 Views)

As some of you have probably noticed, lately I've had a banner in my signature advertising "Operation Brave", a campaign I started back in October to try and persuade Square Enix to localise the 3DS RPG Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, which has been a phenomenal success in Japan since it was released there.

Since then, I have set up Facebook and Twitter pages, but more importantly, I have also partnered up with the larger Bring Bravely Default To The West (who have also partnered up with Operation Rainfall). Together, we have put together a petition which has so far managed to gain just over 600 signatures.

It has been hard though. Operation Rainfall received a lot of support from the gaming press and independent blogs, but now, they aren't willing to lift a finger. I've seen gaming blogs that would much rather talk about the owner's realisation that they aren't a kid any more rather than give Operation Brave a single retweet. However, now Square Enix are now asking fans what they want to see in 2013. If ever we've had a chance to put forward the case for Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, that time is now.

Most people are saying it is likely that it will see a release in non-Japanese countries, but it will take a while. The game just came out so have a little patience. If there is word they won't localize it, I'll hop right on board with this though.

The reason why I started Operation Brave in the first place is because back in October, Tomoya Asano (the game's producer) said that there were no plans to localise the game. Also, according to inside sources, Bravely Default hasn't been discussed in Square Enix's bi-monthly meetings as of last month's.

Operation Brave, sign the petition to save. If you want an English dub, go to the twitter page.

I was going to make up something witty as all hell, but that's as far as I got.

This looks like a similar art style to Tactics Ogre.

I would help but it doesn't seem right since I got Xenoblade and barely played it
