Why can't they make a Final Fantasy that actually plays like Final Fantasy again?
Why didn't they even give Bravely Default the Final Fantasy name?
It's like they refuse to actually make Final Fantasy like Final Fantasies anymore.

It has a few hundred different lumina to mix and match with tons of weapons that are effectively different classes. It's pretty autistic.
And the overworld is a very classic element. As is the three party members in a row and the game being turnbased at all.

I admit that the game is somewhat easy but that doesn't exactly invalidate my claims. And for most of the game you can still skip ahead to challenge threats way ahead of the difficulty curve, and that does offer some decent level of challenge at least.
Defeating the Gargant before either of the Axons is pretty difficult. As is defeating the Sprong while still in Act2 etc etc.
Sadly all of act3 is kind of piss easy since the difficulty threats kind of stops scaling even after your own power just keeps escalating to the stars and beyond.
I don't buy the idea though that it's not autistic or that builds or whatever don't matter just because you could technically beat the entire game at level 1 and with no skills or lumina equipped. No matter how good your parrying skills are, good builds and strategies will still have a significant effect on how effective you are.

Skill and party autism in a larger fantasy world that you can explore.
I was sold as far back as the Xbox Developer Direct when they showed off picture related and other stuff.

And the game delivered and then some.
