Respectfully disagree with most others on how the ending plays out, even though I appreciate the core complaint of repetition...I don't really mind it because it's a storytelling choice, for us to be part of the last few cycles in a grand scheme. We get some nice dialogue in the final few chapters that gives insight into what's going on in everyone's minds as they make the decision to press on through the worlds. (By contrast, Type-0 only makes you part of the very last cycle in another millions-of-years scheme, which is also a valid storytelling choice.)

I think Bravely Second is a step above in all aspects, but this is still one of my favorite JRPGs with top-tier combat, music, and writing.
