This game really makes me feel like I'm playing FF9 or 6 or DQ8 again for the first time. I cannot recommend it enough for EU/Australian NPFers to get now and Americans to get in February (yeah this is what we got as an apology for no SMT4).

Bravely Default is on my "get this in 2014" list after trying the demo and feeling like I was playing what modern-day Final Fantasy would be if it'd kept the FF3(j) way of doing things.

This game has great sneaking mechanics and nifty stealth kill combos. The latter surprised me at first- the art style didn't look like something that would accomodate a ninja stabbing a sword through someone's chest. It's a fun game, although I personally find it hard to play for long periods of time without finding it tedious. I still recommend it though.

Playing through this one right now, actually! I got a controller for christmas and it's turned MOTN from "this is pretty good" to "wow I think I'm actually a ninja"- the controls are so tight it's like it's reading my mind, not my inputs.
