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.

I remember I made my crush into a Mii and then put her in this game and then my friend told her about it. I have never had a more harrowing moment of self-reflection. I realized what I was doing was absolutely pathetic and never played this game again. Fun while it lasted though, make a sequel Nintendo
UCHIKOSHI, HOW YOU WOUND ME.....!
This is just a mid video game, man. The story and characters never really ever take the chance to do new, interesting things. It's so safe. Never really establishes its own identity either. THERE ARE GOOD THINGS THOUGH. I just wish there were more of said good things. At this point I just have to accept that Uchikoshi will never make a game like 999 again. Is he a hack? Maybe!

Could have been really amazing, but it just isn't. There is so much good stuff here-- there are some genuinely dope characters and moments of good writing here and there, the atmosphere is far better than VLR, and the gameplay is generally super solid-- but it falls flat on its face in the overarching story department.
