Europe 2013
Where did they say the game will be released in Europe in 2013? If it is 2013 we need a reference. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 15:16, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I added a reference for it in the lead, but someone removed it, referring to the "localization" section whose source only mentions the NA release.--In Donaldismo Veritas (talk) 15:33, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I had removed your Twitter refs because the information was already referenced in the body of the article. I thought the "2013" was a typo, since I've been seeing "2014" all over the internet... Sergecross73   msg me   15:40, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Unless the tweet came after the announcement, we should probably use the announcements 2014 date: after all, if it was ready this year, why would they hold it into 2014 in North America if they are both in English? Judgesurreal777 (talk) 15:50, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I found it weird too, but the trailer in the European Nintendo Direct did end with "Coming this year...": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HO_uabrY3o#t=89s --In Donaldismo Veritas (talk) 15:57, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * There does seem to be a bit of confusion across the internet on this right now. (I'd provide links, but its mostly non-RS type stuff. Messageboards and comments sections and whatnot.) Hopefully this will lead to clarification or futher confirmation soon. Sergecross73   msg me   16:07, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Pretty sure the confusion is just because most people only watched the NA stream. I wouldn't be surprised if Europe gets the game in December and America in January.--In Donaldismo Veritas (talk) 16:25, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Could be. The official word from NOE is 2013, so I'm fine with keeping that in until/unless its proven otherwise... Sergecross73   msg me   16:29, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
 * There's a new English trailer that also says 2013 for Europe. Siliconera confirms it too. http://www.siliconera.com/2013/04/17/bravely-default-flying-fairy-has-an-english-subtitled-trailer/ Sergecross73   msg me   16:43, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Naming the article only Bravely Default
It seems there is no official evidence that supports the title Bravely Default will have a subtitle outside of Japan, as neither Flying Fairy nor For The Sequel were used in any of the English trailers. The Nintendo Direct that aired on October 1, 2013 suggests the game will only be known as Bravely Default in both North America and Europe, and hence this English article must reflect this and be renamed simply as Bravely Default. Hope(N Forever) (talk) 17:12, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I think we should probably take a look to see what the most WP:COMMONNAME is, not necessarily just take what today's trailers say. (Though, if that is the most common name, then yeah, I'd support it.) Sergecross73   msg me   17:26, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I think I agree with Sergecross73 on this one. --ProtoDrake (talk) 17:57, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Release Date?
So, more confusion on the release date.
 * 1) Most sources I've seen in passing, have said Dec '13 in Europe, Q1 '14 for NA
 * 2) However, someone just added an IGN source that says Nov '13 for Europe, Dec '13 for NA

I've assumed its scenario 1, but IGN is a reliable source, and its spelled out directly in the article, its not even just a database entry or something. Thoughts? Sergecross73  msg me   14:39, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I've been through most reliable sites, and IGN is the only I've seen which gives a 2013 release in America. I've got the feeling it's a misunderstanding of the info that hasn't been rectified. So I'd take scenario 1. --ProtoDrake (talk) 15:45, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

"Flying Fairy" subtitle
As it states in the article, the game will be known in PAL regions simply as Bravely Default, dropping the Flying Fairy subtitle from the Japanese name. However, it also implies that the Flying Fairy subtitle will be kept in North America. Whilst we might not have a definitive word on this, the subtitle might actually be dropped in North America and thus the article should be moved. The reason I think it may also be dropped in NA is because it appears that way on an official trailer from NOA's official YouTube channel, and also in a news article from their website. Does anyone know any more about this?  Dark Toon  Link  09:46, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Whoops, I just noticed there was a very similar discussion just above. However, I should point out that places like IGN have started dropping the subtitle as well, within new articles, although it is still kept in the old game listing.  Dark Toon  Link  20:23, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
 * The most recent trailer for the NA version did not include flying fairy so it looks like its unlikely that the subtitle will be used anywhere outside of Japan.--70.49.81.26 (talk) 00:38, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've noticed that too. I seem to have been the only one who was holding things back, so I went and made the move... Sergecross73   msg me   00:43, 14 November 2013 (UTC)


 * So, NA subtitle seems to be "Where the Fairy Flies". Can we add this to the article?  Emerald Grave (talk) 21:44, 31 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Where did you get that subtitle from? While I don't own the game I have seen the boxart and Where the Fairy Flies is not there.--76.65.42.142 (talk) 06:56, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * At the very least, I remember it being on the in-game title screen. Sergecross73   msg me  13:32, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Cover art
Buh6173, Sergecross73 and I have switched between the North American and the European/Australian cover art a few times now. Since we aren't having a consensus, I figured I'd open a thread about it here on the talk page so we can see what others think as well. As you can see in the page history, I'm in favor of keeping the European/Australian cover, as: a) it was the first English language cover, b) the game was not developed in North America, thus not giving that cover priority, and c) it was the first English language cover added to this article.--IDVtalk 05:31, 7 February 2014 (UTC)


 * And I made the counter-argument that a) Being the first English language cover doesn't give it special privilege since otherwise Mario and Luigi: Dream Team would use the "Dream Team Bros." cover, b) the US cover is most similar to the original Japanese art so it's more sufficient, and c) again, being "the first" means nothing. Now the new one is the second. And it's superior. So the change should be maintained. Buh6173 (talk) 05:34, 7 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Similar case to ICO when the cover that least portrayed the series or deviated from the original didn't make it in. but those are known cover art that have had specific reputation. Here, its not the case, but i think its fine to have the north american version if it resembles closer to the original japanese.Lucia Black (talk) 06:17, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

My main hang up was that his original edit summary said his reason was Keeping US art since it's the US Wiki, which is very terrible rationale on a number of levels. His following arguments, saying things like "its superior", just sound more like its more or less his personal preference, which is also not a valid rationale. Per WP:VGBOX, the first English language image that is added to the article is used. Not by release date, but dependent on when the image was added to the article. Dream Team is a terrible, irrelevant example, the article is in terrible shape, and hasn't been in any sort of peer review, WP:GA review, etc. Just an example of WP:OTHERSTUFF. Sergecross73  msg me   11:35, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure if I ever said it was "superior" for being US, but my other points still stand, in that it more resembles the Japanese cover. And yes, Dream Team is relevant; despite the article's overall shape, it still uses the US cover even though technically the EU version came out first. Buh6173 (talk) 15:03, 7 February 2014 (UTC)


 * It doesn't really matter too much. the rule is there so people don't complain about adding in a different cover each time. Overall, its not bad to have the US version or the NA version, but i prefer the NA version simply because its closer to the design of the Japanese, and will be much more recognizable than the EU version.Lucia Black (talk) 15:35, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Buh6173, you misunderstand. The release date isn't the factor that matters, that is not what I or IDV are saying. The factor that matters is that which English language image was uploaded and put into use first. The European boxart was undeniably uploaded and used first, and per WP:VGBOX, that's the one to be used. (Also, you used the rationale of "superior" here.) Sergecross73   msg me   16:15, 7 February 2014 (UTC)


 * What does it matter if the EU art was uploaded first? It's suggested that you don't need to bother uploading a new image if an old one is there, but if someone goes through the trouble of doing it, then there's no reason not to keep the newer image if it fits the article better (which it does, since it's closer to the Japanese cover). Buh6173 (talk) 16:42, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * To eliminate time wasting arguments and reverting like which is happening right now. It's to stop these very arguments from happening. If they're both fine, just stick with the original. (Its much in line with WP:NOCONSENSUS, as in, if there's no agreement on what to do with something, you just stick with the original version.) Sergecross73   msg me   16:49, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Except one's more accurate to the Japanese version than the other, so they're not "both fine". Recognizably is important. Buh6173 (talk) 21:23, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Europe is a massive region, so "not recognizable" is a poor and subjective reason. None of what you say aligns with any policy or guideline, just your personal opinion, unlike my argument, WP:VGBOX. Beyond your reasons being entirely subjective, I just don't buy into most of your reasons considering you started off with your initial ludicrous comment of "Use the US one because this is the US Wiki".   Sergecross73   msg me   00:36, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

And I have since then rectified my reasoning.

Plus, nothing on that page says "if someone changes the picture to one you don't like, demand that it be changed it back". It just says not to go through the trouble of doing something. And since I went through the trouble without knowing about that, there was no hassle, so you shouldn't feel the need to go through the trouble of changing it back. Buh6173 (talk) 02:38, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Lets just keep the image we have now. the North American version does help out a bit more considering its the same box art as the original Japanese. So, i dont think even EU residents can complain about the choice. anyways....lets just gie this one up. its a sensible thing to do.Lucia Black (talk) 12:03, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * We don't make decisions based off of "well it's already done", especially when it can be undone with a click of a button. Right now, we're split 2 to 2 on this, which is he definition of WP:NOCONSENSUS, which means, he changed doesn't happen. Since it was originally the EUR one, hat means he change to NA version doesn't happen. Again, that's actually following protocol. Sergecross73   msg me   13:59, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Not exactly, since the NA version looks just like the Japanese version, it should be ok to have even if it wasn't first cover art we uploaded. There are exceptions to the rule. for example: when a cover art looks so drastically different from the original that it ends up NOT being in the infobox. Examples such as Mega Man (video game) and ICO. Now i understand it doesn't fit right in because that has actual coverage of the cover history but the idea is that exceptions can happen. And i've seen in the past where people would switch cover art image to NA version under the rug, and no one said anything. maybe because their not popular articles.


 * Its not a big deal to keep this version if it has more perks to it.Lucia Black (talk) 14:43, 8 February 2014 (UTC)


 * In "Template:Infobox video game/doc/syntax guide" there's a guideline that reads "If the game is not developed in an English-language region use the cover from the region in which the game receives its first English language release, unless another English language version has been uploaded first, in which case you should not change it." This already gives two points in favor of keeping the European cover art.


 * An argument summarized as "I already uploaded this new cover, so we should keep it as it more closely resembles the Japanese cover of the original game" is hilarious to me. By that logic, about 80% of the Final Fantasy cover arts on Wikipedia should be changed without question, as the European cover arts almost always resemble the Japanese version. Calamity-Ace (talk)


 * In this case it doesn't. so why point it out?Lucia Black (talk) 16:14, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * To point out that this kind of logic is flawed.Calamity-Ace (talk)
 * Didn't exactly work if it didn't even apply in this circumstance.Lucia Black (talk) 16:40, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Acutally it does since the fact that we don't use European Final Fantasy boxarts simply because they are similar to the Japanese boxarts proves that Wikipedia does not use similarly to Japanese boxarts as a rational for selection. Since that was being used as a rational for thus proposed change it's entirely relevant.--174.93.163.194 (talk) 19:50, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Just to note, the European cover uses the art from the Japanese "For the Sequel" cover: --Mika1h (talk) 16:20, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Generally, Wikipedia relies on US English and American versions of releases when tied to non-Anglophone countries. I mean, look at... well, basically any Japanese game cover on Wikipedia. I'm fine with this trend, as the U.S. is by far the most populous English country in the world (if India doesn't count), and U.S. English by far the most spoken dialect. Tezero (talk) 17:52, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure, but that wouldn't be a reason to ignore policy though. What you're saying could be for a multitude of factors. For instance, english localized games are commonly released in NA first, and as such, have their cover art available first, leading to their cover art being uploaded first, and as a result, being retained. There is no "Use NA art" guideline or anything. Sergecross73   msg me   18:16, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I recently reverted a readdition for the NA boxart. The reason given was that the NA boxart should stay until there was a consensus for the European one. The problem I have there, is that the European boxart was up first for months so I believe that it should be up to the person proposing the change to get a consensus to change the status quo, not the other way around.--174.93.163.194 (talk) 20:07, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Now they are claiming that since thr NA boxart was up when the discussion started it can'r be removed until there is a consensus to use tge European boxart. Considering that they were the one to change it in the first place that does not sound right to me.--174.93.163.194 (talk) 20:15, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

A status quo can be upended if a better one can be found.

To put it brief, nowhere in any of the rules does it say that if an image is changed, it must be reverted. If anything, the English box art that best represents the game should be used. And because the US art is the most familiar due to it being nearly identical to the Japanese art, it would seem to be the most sufficient, no? Buh6173 (talk) 21:54, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I am not sure about that. Wikipedia is aimed for a general readership not just gamers. Gamers may be aware thst the NA boxart is based on the original Japanese one but the average reader is another story. That would likely be lost to many people looking at the page.--174.93.163.194 (talk) 22:49, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * How would the average reader discern between the two covers? Why would the average reader think one is superior to the other? Buh6173 (talk) 23:32, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * That's the point, if the average reader can't discern between the two covers that would indicate that the claim that the NA cover is more reconsiable since it is similar to the Japanese cover simply wrong. Also, since the people who are arguing for the European cover have not claimed "superiority" as the reason the last question is illrelvent--174.93.163.194 (talk) 01:01, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * An average user would not claim one is better because they can't tell the difference. To a gamer, the US cover is more fitting because it resembles the Japanese cover more. What else is there to say? Buh6173 (talk) 02:29, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The problem is I would assume that most people who are aware that the US cover is the same as the Japanese cover would already know of the European cover as well as what it looked likes. Unless you can provided evidence that most people looking at this article would know of the similarities between the US and Japaneses cover but would not know the European cover I don't see that as likely. Also, I don't think Wikipedia should be focused on gamers who dislike the European cover especially since no evidence has been provided to support this. --174.93.163.194 (talk) 03:28, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * It's not a matter of "disliking" the European cover. And no, not everyone knows of the European cover, even if they know the Japanese cover (i.e. those who live in Japan and haven't played For the Sequel, or those in America). Buh6173 (talk) 05:30, 9 February 2014 (UTC)


 * My two cents is that we specifically call out using the first English-released cover art in an article if there's dispute, unless there's some good reason not to (Ico is a good example: the EU/JP cover is much more appropriate for the game, while the NA version - while out first, is definitely inferior.) The Ico case doesn't appear to apply here. --M ASEM (t) 02:39, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed, the ICO art was terrible and the European Braverly Default cover is not even remotely in the same league as that.--174.93.163.194 (talk) 03:28, 9 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Buh6173 - "nowhere in any of the rules does it say that if an image is changed, it must be reverted" - yes, it does. There's a reason the acronym is WP:STOPCHANGINGIT: Because the first one wins, full stop, stop arguing. Image country disputes always, always result in an absurd amount of discussion and noise, for a minor change that doesn't really matter. So we made a rule, to try to stop it altogether- it doesn't matter which one is "better", it doesn't matter the relative English-speaking populations, just set it to the first English cover to be uploaded and stop changing it. Gameplay is still one paragraph, Reception is practically non-existent, there are actual real issues with the articles that we could be fixing rather than wasting a lot of time arguing about which one of two slightly different images to use. -- Pres N  05:05, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * That guideline says nothing about reverting images. It says you don't need to change an image, but if an image happens to be changed, it says nothing about it needing to be reverted back. Buh6173 (talk) 05:30, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I think this is reaching hair splitting at this time. If what you attest is true then the rule would be completely unenforcable and usless since it would do nothing to stop people from breaking that rule and would in fact reward the people breaking it. I would put the ods at zero percent that this was the intent, nor would I see much if any support for that interpretation.---174.93.163.194 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 05:46, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

In that case, instead of saying "the first image came first, screw everything else", you then look at the two images, and see which one fits the article better.

One is unique to the European release and the Japanese rerelease, while the other is shared with the original Japanese release. I'd say the latter is more suitable for the article, regardless of "who came first". Buh6173 (talk) 05:57, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * That still ingnores the obvious issue that its unlikely that the average reader would know that the NA cover is based on the Japanese cover of the original version of the game meaning that most readers would likely not find the NA cover "fitting" for that reason. It should be noted that no evidence has been provided to the contrary or has the proposed change gain much support either.--174.93.163.194 (talk) 06:07, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * We've already gotten out of the way that the "average" reader does not need to be regarded in this decision, since neither version will have any impact on their opinion. This is for gamers who would recognize the original Japanese cover, or conversely, the American cover, vs. the much rarer cover that the PAL version uses. Buh6173 (talk) 06:41, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

How has this been such a huge debate? It doesn't matter which box 'best represents' the game; we're not a marketing department. The PAL box came first in English, so WP:STOPCHANGINGIT. The English Wikipedia covers all English-speaking countries; it is irrelevant that there are more people in the US than UK/ANZ. So just keep the PAL boxart, and move on to something else. Wikipedia policy is very clear in this issue.  Dark Toon  Link 
 * We've been over this: that article just says that you don't need to make a new photo if there already is one. It says nothing about reverting to an old one if a new one is uploaded. Buh6173 (talk) 11:38, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * No, we haven't "been over this", you just insist on rules-lawyering- badly. The first image wins. That does not mean that if you happen to make a second image, that it then wins, it means that the first image wins. Violating the guideline does not suddenly make the second image alright, it means that the first image wins. That you tried to change the image and got reverted does not change which image was first. The cover art is currently the PAL version, that was the first uploaded, that means it wins. I'll be sure to get the wording of the guideline changed, though, to block this kind of absurd pedantry. -- Pres N  18:30, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * So what, if I uploaded mine first, it would've been used regardless of people preferring the PAL version? Shouldn't you actually debate the merits of one image over the other, instead of just going "nope it's first"? Because that's a terrible policy, and a lazy one to boot. Buh6173 (talk) 21:49, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, yes it would have. If you need to see why we had to institute such a policy, see this entire gigantic discussion- there is no way to "debate the merits of one image over the other" because neither side, in any of these disputes, will listen to the other side's arguments or change their mind. So we made up an objective measure, and stick with it. It doesn't matter whether the policy is "terrible" or "lazy" - any argument about which region of video game cover art to use is, by definition, a massive waste of everyone's time, so we try to just cut off the discussion before it begins. The article is still bad, with obvious, massive flaws, and every second we spend debating a pointless image swap is being wasted. -- Pres N  23:39, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is pretty much what I was going to write earlier. Normally, when people don't like policy, I'd invite them to formulate their own approach and see if they could get consensus to make it the new standard, but I have no idea how Buh6173 formulate a proposal based on what he's trying to operate on. His approach is based entirely on opinion, and would constantly bring up edit warring and arguments any time someone has a different personal opinion, which would all the time because we're on internet. It would be a constant source of wasted time, over something where either option would technically be viable. Sergecross73   msg me   00:19, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

We could, you know, just have multiple people voice their opinion instead of one person. Democracy and all that.

Some people prefer the old image, some prefer the new. Voice your reasons, and whichever wins out stays. Buh6173 (talk) 00:37, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * As Serge pointed out above, that isn't how this policy is meant to work. Rather than wasting time debating aesthetics, just stick to the very clear policy around this.  Dark Toon  Link 

Also, if your argument is that the changed boxart shouldn't be reverted because there's no policy that says that, I don't think there's a policy that says you should revert being reverted for breaching policy.  Dark Toon  Link  01:01, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

The policy should be that if a better image exists, use it.Buh6173 (talk) 01:33, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Then take it up on the policy page. But, as has been mentioned multiple times before, 'better' is very subjective, and it is much better to have an objective policy to avoid contention. For the record, I much prefer the PAL boxart anyway. If you go to Wind Waker HD the picture there is the North American cover, not the PAL or ORIGINAL JAPANESE cover, because that was the first English one uploaded. I don't argue against that, even though I dislike the American Wind Waker HD box, because that's how the policy works. So I suggest you stop trying to change the boxart here, and just stick with the current PAL one.  Dark Toon  Link  01:42, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Don't you see that such a stance is extremely vague, undefined and unenforceable? Sure, it would help you get your way here, but it wouldn't be applicable as a general practice.  Sergecross73   msg me   01:46, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

But...isn't the Wind Waker HD art identical across the board? That's a kind of bad example. And seeing how most other places I've gone to work with a general consensus or actually replace things with better things instead of being adamant not to change something just because the other thing came first, I'd say consensus works better than "this came first". Just being faster on the keyboard to upload an image is a bad means of action.Buh6173 (talk) 02:43, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * No. In Japan, Europe, and Australia, the boxart is not covered in gold. It retains the blue colour scheme of the original artwork.  Dark Toon  Link  02:54, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Looking at the file history, I just noticed something.

The file name for the cover image has remained the same since at least July of 2012, yet the image information states that the image was uploaded in December of 2013. Was the old image deleted somehow? Why is there no image history? For that matter, how do we know that there wasn't a US cover image on there at some point, but it somehow miraculously vanished in the same way the Japanese cover did?

This just raises so many questions. Buh6173 (talk) 02:50, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Old versions of fair use images get deleted, to avoid copyright violations. I believe this article had the PAL boxart before the US one was even revealed.  Dark Toon  Link  02:54, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Can you be certain?Buh6173 (talk) 03:36, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * This shows the PAL boxart was there in the beginning of November last year. When was the US box revealed?  Dark Toon  Link  03:50, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The same time.Buh6173 (talk) 04:01, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Source?  Dark Toon  Link  04:06, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Well now I'm confused because all sources I'm looking into are saying that both covers were revealed on the 13th, which begs the question where it came from there. Perhaps they were leaked elsewhere earlier? I have no clue.

But that's aside the point. If this is the case, then one could easily just swap out the versions, and none would be the wiser. So having an image be there "first" is a moot point.Buh6173 (talk) 04:35, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * That PAL boxart was the first English-Language cover to be uploaded for this article, so we should stick with it.  Dark Toon  Link  04:53, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * But do you get what I'm saying? If you're correct, if the past versions are completely zapped, not only is it possible that there was an English version beforehand, I could just as easily replace it, and nobody would be the wiser, since it would be the one image file.

 * In that case, if there was the US box first (which there wasn't), then the admin who had to delete the old file for copyright would have noticied the policy breach and done something then.  Dark Toon  Link  05:37, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The only reason this was brought to attention was due to the massive edit warring between two different files.Buh6173 (talk) 06:16, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Well now that the appropriate policy has been pointed out, the edit war can stop.  Dark Toon  Link  06:41, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

I believe administrators can view the older comments/summaries in each upload, which will show the EUR box as the first piece of English boxart. Judging by the name, that file used to be a logo. Also, this file should be deleted as a copyvio, as no article links to it.  Dark Toon  Link  07:14, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I say we just give it up, the fact that "for the sequel" cover is the same as EU version, it shouldn't be an issue as thats the version the NA one will get too, just the cover of the original.Lucia Black (talk) 08:05, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Except it's not what the US version is getting.Buh6173 (talk) 14:03, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, the US version is getting (already got 3 days ago) the expanded "for the sequel" version shown here. So its no big deal since there are two versions of the game, and we get the same version just different box art, so EU version should be enough and more accurate to portray which version we're getting.Lucia Black (talk) 14:15, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, I thought you were referring to them getting the same cover. Buh6173 (talk) 14:53, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Small change in Sequels
There is a small article in Sequels about an illustration made by Akihiko Yoshida.

''Two years prior to the game's announcement on Christmas Day 2017, character designer Akihiko Yoshida posted an image on Twitter of Edea holding a pair of Joy-Con controllers. Additionally after Octopath Traveler sold over 1 million copies, the occasion was celebrated with another illustration on Twitter, with the pose assumed by the eight party members strongly resembling Airy from the first game.[94]''

There are misconceptions and strange citations that I wish to change.

1. Akihiko Yoshida never made these illustrations, nor has he put this online as he has left Square Enix in 2014 and has not come back to doing any illustrations for the franchise since nor does he have a personal Twitter/X account. The illustrations are done by Naoki Ikushima.

2. The citations are odd since the current citation leads to a Youtube video that has since been removed. To make up for confusion here is the link to the first illustration and the second illustration.

Personally I also don't understand why this text is even on Wikipedia as they serve no purpose for Bravely Default other than them being a holiday celebration doodle and a thank you illustration for a game that isn't even in the same franchise. It is a homage, but in the terms of the article it doesn't really make sense imo. Fragmantiq (talk) 19:34, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
