atheist123 583 Posted February 19, 2014 I... uh... don't know how I feel about this. We created the world view as a fantasy RPG with a story revolving around crystals, because that way RPG fans won’t have any trouble jumping right into the world. The exaggerated characters are cute and players can enjoy them on their adventures. Basically this is comedic up to the point where you start really liking the characters, and then the drama develops. I used the methodology of American TV dramas like the older Beverly Hills 90210 (I’m a huge fan!), and Glee as references. In terms of games, a number of games developed outside of Japan had major influence on the storytelling. So if you think about it, I guess you could call Bravely Default a traditional Japanese RPG with American content thrown in. source: http://www.kotaku.com.au/2014/02/bravely-default-was-influenced-by-uh-90210/ 2 AnHeiressofaSOLDIER and unLock reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaneki Ken 1,516 Posted February 19, 2014 Oh man, I read this article a few days ago. Ironic isn't it? A game that has been trapped in Japan for 1.5 years, influenced by Western influences. 2 unLock and atheist123 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shana09 5,769 Posted February 19, 2014 If they use Glee as a reference for its storytelling then I should not pick up this game. 1 teh lazy prince Xylek reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dio Brando 5,810 Posted January 12, 2015 Oh man, I read this article a few days ago. Ironic isn't it? A game that has been trapped in Japan for 1.5 years, influenced by Western influences. For storytelling that is,gameplay wise it's a JRPG from beginning to end Also if you wanna be general,every JRPG and WRPG out there was inspired by Dungeons & Dragons and Ultima Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hatok 6,413 Posted January 12, 2015 Okay, I haven't really watched either of those shows, but was there a point where they started redoing everything from previous episodes with slight dialog changes? Because that would explain a lot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atheist123 583 Posted January 13, 2015 I think that the producers only said this to try and increase the sales of Bravely Default in NA... Cos everyone from the West wants their JRPGs to be inspired by crappy soap operas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
