Really? Yikes. I wish I had the luck of Bravely Default being the worst game I've ever played. In my opinion it perfected the classic FF formula (FF 1-3,FF 5) with a decent enough fantasy story. I mean it's a lot better than Final Fantasy 5 for example, and that was the game which did the job system the best. So 1-3 are definitely worse than it too. 

I have to disagree there; while BD didn't handhold the player (FF6 and on), it was particularly challenging. It also takes a serious hit for making to replay the same thing for the second half of the game. BD is great, but it's value is diminished by its reliance on repetition and the numbered series (especially PS1 and earlier) are an improper comparison. If anything, it's like a shorter, extremely polished version of FFIII.

What are you disagreeing with exactly? You feel it is a polished version of FFIII, which is kind of what I said, although I compared it more to FF5. Also FFIII is only 20-30 hours long, Bravely Default is like 50-60 hours. Even if we exclude the last few episodes (which were repetitive) there is still more than half of the game which is unique. So it's longer than FFIII.

The game is essentially FF5, but harder and with a more convoluted story. The job system was better in this game than it was in any Final Fantasy.
