Bravely Default was a daring blend of old and new, combining classic RPG elements, like a class system, with modern conveniences like a random encounter frequency slider. Several years ago, Square finally responded to this sentiment and developed Bravely Default for Nintendo 3DS. While all of these games are meritorious in their own ways, they ultimately failed to scratch the itch that has pestered old-school JRPG fans for years. The release of Final Fantasy X arguably began the criticism, but XII, XIII, and XV all added a share of controversy to the mix. With every numbered Final Fantasy entry, the publisher diverts further from its original formula, for better or worse.
Square Enix’ fall from grace, at least in the eyes of classic-JRPG fanatics, is well-documented.
