Bravely Default looks absolutely amazing. When people describe it as the best Final Fantasy game in over a decade, that's honestly what it looks like. I know that once I can afford it, I'll finally buy a 3DS and pick it up.

Honestly, his field sprite (which is unusually tall) looks like it'd be more at home in Super Mario RPG.
