just an awesome experience. wears its inspirations on its sleeve but does a damn good job with them. so finely crafted and fun to figure out, improves on the original in basically every way. would be better off without certain design choices and exhausting glitches but im still coming away from this one really glad it exists. thank you based miro

i used to think that, overall, the snes library is pretty impressive. even the lesser titles tend to have something notable or redeeming about them as to not make your experience a total waste. then i played jelly boy, and once again the english have ruined my day

miserable but pretty cool for an nes game

Dropped this some 40-ish hours in because fuck finishing things, right?
The first bravely default, while a traditional and rather generic turn-based JRPG, is excused by being the first entry in the series and still having things like a fantastic soundtrack and loveable characters.
Bravely second is a far more experimental game, with a wildly different approach to the narrative.
Bravely default 2 is literally just the first game again but without the cool meta stuff, good writing, or SOUL. What a fucking disappointment. Should've been the Ringabel game.

Half of this game is really fun with kinda surprisingly charming writing but then other missions are utter slogs where I could not be fucked to pay attention to the story. If there was no gacha element this game would be awesome
Too much of this game relies on you to relate to it for it to connect with you. Besides that, the writing is real shallow and the gameplay ranges from frustratingly jank to interesting in concept. Very disappointing cause I know people love this game, more power to you if you do

Best $500 game I've ever played
I had to stop playing this cause it's so frustrating to me. It's an undeniably beautiful game and I really appreciate the obvious attention to detail that went into it, but god does it take forever to go anywhere. I got about 12 hours in before I realized that it's just not what I'm looking for. It feels like it's juggling entirely too much at once-- why is 13 stories necessary? I'm sure that those who've finished the game could argue that "everyone is important," but IMO the game does a really poor job of making things feel that way. It's as though a third of the characters could be removed and my understanding and appreciation for the world and story would be exactly the same. It was also kinda shocking to me that after 12 whole hours there wasn't a single scene that really sold me on it being a worthwhile experience. The story felt like a never-ending foreplay that only serves to introduce more plot elements and mysteries at you before they're all answered in the final hours. Maybe I'll come back to this one but I just have no desire to play it instead of other games or visual novels that provide lots of quality from the start
