I bought a 3DS for Bravely Default. Release it in the states SE!

....release type-0 as well for.....anything but a phone PLEASE!

I just want to get my hands on Bravely Default, is there a release date for it in America yet?

Ew, Famitsu!

Braverly better than Project X
doesnt matter, I WANT BOTH!!!!

Man, the last valid 40 from Famitsu using their old "strict" scoring system was FFXII. After that, they started selling out their scores for money.

I'm happy to see that high score for Bravely Default, though. It would be great if it sold more than KH3D in Japan.

In my opinion only these games getting a perfect score is justifiable:

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998, Nintendo, for Nintendo 64)
2. Soulcalibur (1999, Namco, for Dreamcast)
3. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (2008, Konami, for PlayStation 3)
4. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (2011, Bethesda Softworks, for Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3) - the first non-Japanese game to receive a perfect score.

Not these ones:

1. Nintendogs (2005, Nintendo, for Nintendo DS)
2. 428: Fūsa Sareta Shibuya de (2008, Sega, for Wii)
3. Monster Hunter Tri (2009, Capcom, for Wii)
4. Final Fantasy XIII-2 (2011, Square Enix, for Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3)
5. Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012, Nintendo, for Nintendo 3DS)

None of those games are worthy of a 40. Especially the bolded.

What games would be worthy of a 40 in your opinion?

FFX I agree.

The thing is, Famitsu used to give out only one 40/40 per console. The last console to follow this strict rule was PS2 and the game that got the 40/40 was FFXII. Since the DS, they have changed their scoring policy. Now loads of games can get 40/40 on just one console. have you seen how much 40/40 games there have been in the last 4 years?

That's why I say that FFXII was the last game that really deserved the 40/40. It was the last game judged by Famitsu's harsh scoring policy.
