This was worth the $60 I spent on it and then some. I have over 200 hours put into the game (similar to WOFF), and while I could do a dollars to hours ratio (it’s $0.30 per hour), that obviously doesn’t encompass my enjoyment, though the fact I spent that long playing should say something. All of the main characters are so likable, and I love how the side quests help expand their stories and relationships. The voice acting is also stellar with lots of British VAs getting more play. Like any Squeenix game, it has its regular motifs and archetypes, and it’s pretty much a rehashing of the very first Final Fantasy. There are some weird pacing issues with some of the aspects like you can’t open up the A or S levels of the card game until much later in the game, and some of the easier side quests don’t open up until later either. There are also things you know are going to be plot points way before they become plot points. It doesn’t take away any enjoyment I don’t think.
I’m now curious about the original Bravely Default and Bravely Second. I’m hoping there will be a fourth game at some point.
