Gaming Bravely Default will force update?

[sjeps]

Hi,
i have an untouched 3DS XL with firmware 4.5

I've ordered Bravely Default.
Will it force to update my 3ds with new firmware? (blocking future Gateway usage?)

I don't know if this has already been asked..

Yes, it almost certainly will.

Seems as though Bravely Default has just been dumped by CONTRAST. As soon as http://3ds.essh.co/ updates the list we will know exactly what firmware it comes with.

Also note that the EUR/US versions will be based on an updated version of the game, so it won't come with the 4.1 like the original JPN release did.

so the only way to play it without updating would be buying a gateway and running it from emunand

or would firmware spoofing suffice

Firmware Spoofing works fine

if the game is built on sdk 5, then u will need latest OS via emunand, if it isnt, then firmware spoofing will work fine

sdk is 4...
so firmware spoofing will be enough?

could i also run the backup with the same method with gateway?

Naw, with the latest GW firmware I can run it on 4.5 system NAND and play the new Zelda just fine.

Bravely default question!

Is it worth playing? I been playing for an hour and I keep seeing message such as "sleep point" which is like ingame currency you purchase with real money, having friends send you their character via street pass / friend code, finding people through street pass to work on your village. If we aren't supposed to use streetpass etc while on gateway just incase patch gets required and if thats the reason is the game worth playing? Has anyone played it for 10hours+ (maybe japanese version) and can give a summary of what we may lack by playing on gateway and if its damaging overall gameplay.

EDIT: is there a way to simulate street pass interaction to get some characters in your game without actually connecting to another device.

Check out the wifi section for what's called "HomePass" - it allows you you street pass with others right from your home.
