I'll tell you this much. If Bravely Default: Flying Fairy plays half as well as it looks, you and I are going to be in for one heck of a treat. Say what you want about the name, and yes it really is stupid, the game is outright the most stunning thing I've seen on the 3DS thus far. In fact I'd say it's one of the more visually creative games I've seen in a while...

Nintendo's roll out of new software continues. Square Enix has announced a new game for the Nintendo 3DS. Titled "Bravely Default Flying Fairy," the game is a full-fledged RPG and it's absolutely gorgeous...
