Square Enix Preparing for 'All the Bravest'[teaser]Domain and trademark registration reveal new possibilities.[/teaser] Domains allthebravest.com and allthebravest.net are now in the hands of Japanese publisher and developer, Square Enix. Sadly, no other details have yet come to life, leaving 'All the Bravest' open to speculation. Speculation includes not simply an all together new project, but also currently coveted (by Western gamers) possible Western debut of the recently released 3DS title 'Bravely Default: Flying Fairy.' With the trademark information currently only relating to Europe, North America 3DS owners may face of the prospect of a continued inability to play the game, even after a Europe release. Language issues aside, the 3DS, unlike many of its predecessors, is region locked. Source: JoystiqPosted Mon Dec 3, 2012 at 09:30 AM PST by: -
