Bravely Default Demo Out Now

January 2, 2014

Bravely Default, Square Enix's newest RPG for the 3DS, is already out in Japan and Europe, and those of us in the US have a little over a month longer to wait. If you can't wait, or if you just want to see what all the fuss is about, a free demo for the game is available in the eShop now.

The demo does not feature the beginning of the game or even a quest in the middle when the characters should be a bit powerful. The demo is a side quest that isn't available in the main game at all. It's basically a separate game in of itself. That's one way to avoid spoilers in a demo.

Bravely Default releases on February 7th in the US at retail and via the eShop.

I've been a writer since I was five, but I came to the gaming realm a little late--post college. However, I've well made up for that ever since I took over my husband's PlayStation 2. I've been writing about and reviewing games since 2005, and can currently be found writing for P laystation LifeStyle and Strategy Guide Reviews on a regular basis.

I'm a professional writer and aspiring yoga teacher by day, but a I'm a game-loving, comic-reading, fantasy book-obsessing geek 24-hours a day.
