By all accounts, this JRPG is a pretty great game, but I wouldn't know, because a) I don't own a Nintendo DS and b) every time I see this title, I go into a cringe coma that requires a year's supply of smelling salts to recover from. Seemingly the ultimate in poorly translated foreign titles, Bravely Default nevertheless is routed in some sense of logic, hard though that is to believe. You see, the game relies on players switching between "Brave" and "Default" combat styles, one which is offensive and the other which is defensive, so it could be said that the protagonist is, you've got it, Bravely Default. It still sounds pretty lame, though, and there are dozens of other similar titles that no doubt would sound better (suggestions in the comments, please). The "Flying Fairy" subtitle and the "For the Sequel" title of the updated version aren't much better, but at least the upcoming sequel, Bravely Second, isn't quite as irritating. There are so many stupid video game titles out there, so feel free to add your own in the comments!
