Bravely Default: Flying Fairy has been a smashing success for Square Enix. Since launch, the publisher shipped 300,000 copies throughout Japan.

Producer Tomoya Asano told 4Gamer:

“Yes, I’d like to report to everyone that Bravery Default has broken over 300,000 copies shipped. I think by the end of the month, the sales numbers will achieve 300,000.”

No one (well, aside from the folks at Square Enix) knows what lies in the future for Bravely Default, but the IP is far from done. Asano teased future developments while speaking with 4Gamer:

“The official [Bravely Default] Twitter account has been in a silent state lately, partly because the consumer camp has been all out of information. However, from this year to about next year, I’m thinking there are a lot of things that I want to prepare for everyone to look forward to, so please continue to follow the Twitter account. I want to share information with everyone as soon as developments start again, so thank you in advance.”

But why isn’t Tomb Raider coming to Wii U? Creative director Noah Hughes explained:
