Spoilers for chapter 6 and beyond!

I've just reawakened all four cyrstals, AGAIN, beating the same four bosses AGAIN, while doing every side-quest on the screen, which leads to me beating 20+ same bosses AGAIN, to be rewarded the last time with one new boss who was reasonably challenging (if cheap).

So we head to the light again.

And now I have to reawaken those same. four. damn. crystals. AGAIN. Beating those same four bosses. AGAIN. Facing those same side-quest bosses AGAIN. (No, I don't give a fairy that they're in different parties now, they're STILL the SAME bosses!)

And, if a guide is to believed, even when I do ALL THAT, AGAIN, I have to do it all over AGAIN one more time?!

...

Gentlemen, just kill me now. Bravely Default up to chapter 4 was one of my favourite games of all time. I loved the characters, the story, the combat, the world, everything.

Then chapter 5 and beyond arrived and were determined as all hell to make sure I would regret picking up this game and loving it in the first place. What. The. Hell. were they thinking when they came up with this story-structure. I've heard of rehashing content but this is of such insane proportions it is downright hysterical.

Oh, Bravely Default, will I ever see your ending?

I swear, if Bravely Second does this, too, I'm not even gonna bother picking it up.

Discuss here how everything after chapter 4 made you cry tears of blood and despair.
