I don't think I've ever seen a game where so much of it is tied up in spoiler territory. I'm at the point where I can't make new threads, because they'd either have to be incredibly generic thread titles with spoiler warnings, or because even the thread titles themselves would be spoilers.
Character and personality traits? Spoilers.
Character designs? Spoilers.
Ability setups and strategies? Spoilers.
The basis for the political and religious conflicts? Spoilers.
The setup of the world itself? Spoilers.
I mean, heck, even in games like Septerra Core or Kingdom Hearts, which do a similar job of making the structure of the world integral to the story, they reveal that structure immediately and just let you explore it through the rest of the game. But everything in Bravely Default is something that you discover through exploration and questing. The world, the characters, even the mechanics are tied together to such a fantastic degree that discussing any of it is just wading straight into an ocean of interconnected revelations with tremendous implications.
It makes it really hard to discuss this game, especially this soon after release, despite the fact that there is so much to talk about. I guess it's to be expected from a game in which both the game's title Bravely Default, and its subtitle Where the Fairy Flies are themselves spoilers, but it's still kind of frustrating.
