Bravely Default Demo Hitting North American eShop Today

Downloading it.
How are you downloading it? It’s not in the eshop
It is. Don’t look under recent software (even if that’s where it should be) look under demos, or search “default” or click the Ad.
if anything wii u needs hd rpgs which would make practical use of the gamepad they could upscale this game for wii u like ni no kuni did for ps3
Youve obviously havent played both Ni No Kuni games if you think the PS3 version is just an upscaled version.
A better comparison would be Resident Evil Revelations.
Must try this! I’m currently playing Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen and I’m enjoying it. Hugs!
Just dont keep pressing X.
Wtf!?!
The Bravely Default demo is NOT in the 3DS Eshop for download….and I’m in Ontario Canada and my timezone is eastern standard time.
It’s 12:15pm and it’s still not there.
Come on Nintendo….what gives?
Kinda upset here. >.<
same here, ontario and i’ve been trying for a while
Either it’s not available in Canada, or you didn’t search the demos. It’s not with the new software. It’s in a different category.
sweet, will be getting this
It’s not that good game at all, I don’t know why so much hype.
Because you’re in the minority.

Dont panic! Rewards you get in this demo are not important for the game. It’s just basic items for the first jobs you get in the real game. It’s no big deal :-). Enjoy this demo american fellow! :-D
I’m pretty excited about this!
Thanks MNN!! Heading to the eShop to download now! :D
Great game, it’s nice in Europe to get something first for a change! The demo is really good, I got about 4hrs worth of play out of it.
Already beaten the game more or less… =P
great :( I disconnect my internet yesterday, so im gonna have to wait to try out this demo.
when i checked this article this morning, i went to the eshop and downloaded it, now i wait for my collectors edition to arrive once amazon gets the estimate delivery date, which would be maybe 1 week after the release date. i havent checked my dl status, might be done, either way im gonna keep the demo (the only demo i will not delete) and not playe it till at least february hits, yes its a long wait but it would be worth it.
i actually found the demo under the top games thing (kinda like the whats hot) when you enter the eshop
Just finished downloading it! In case you’re wondering, I didn’t have to look for it, it was the very first icon on th eshop, USA one at least.
I downloaded it and….I don’t know if I like it or not :/
I was really looking forward to this game and I really like JRPG’s but something about this game…Maybe if I try the game from the beginning I’ll like it more. Now I’m nervous
