Clair Obscure: Expedition 33

steamcharts

actually the jps love it more than jp games!

whooaaaa it's selling so well!

Actual cancer.

racist anti-woke game wins again

Based.

...the biggest loser award.
KEKAROO!

>Are you 12 or something?

Are you a 40yo loser still browsing Anon Babble or something? I bet you were posting on altchans when this site was down too

I want to have sex with a petite, slim, firm tits, french qt3.14 with porcelain skin...

It's nice to see original games being successful, even if it's a JRPG so the gameplay is crap. But you put up with that

HowLongToBeat doesn't have a time yet and Steam reviews have around 20 hours logged, I thought this was some 50 hour long JRPG?

It's pretty wild that in 2025 a new game studio still looks like this

5 women

trash

no trans

Goldberg won't be happy...

This is such a fucking dilemma
I want to buy the game and delete my pirated copy since the game is genuinely good and those faggots deserve my money
BUT in doing so, I'll just be giving them money to hire blacks and trannies and basically turn them into shitty bankrupt american video game studio #45368 with over 500k employees

CDProjekt going full retard with Cyberpunk was proof that any god tier developer can turn into absolute dogshit the moment they become successful

Ah, no wonder it turned out good. Canada and USA can't make good games anymore because Twitter freaks infiltrated literally every west coast game company which is all the major ones

I can't wait for 1-3 months when all of you same people will admit "yeah, E33 actually wasn't that good". I hate FotM shit so fucking much.

muh FOTM

Bro I had this shit wish listed ever since it was first shown in game awards. The game is also as fucking good as I even hoped it to be

How the hell does it even qualify as FOTMshit when streamers are shilling Oblivion instead? Fuck off with your buzzwords nigger

The only "woke" thing is that there is black NPCs in the first 30 min of the game, and then they're gone and you won't ever see them again.
Shitposter tried to push the lesbian angle between Lune and Sciel but it burned fast when it was revealed both of them have the hots for two other males.

Are you an investor? Did you create the game? For what possible reason are you emotionally invested in this game's success?

Anon Babblesisters... when will we stop losing??? the switch 2 will sell a lot too... I'm tired of getting btfo constantly it wasn't supposed to be like this...

Reward them for their current product, if they shit the best in the next one simply skip it or pirate it.

Why are you so angry? Does this seem normal to you, getting sweaty and teary-eyed when someone doesn't like a video game you're inexplicably attached to?

those are men

Why are you trannies shilling for this western slop so hard?

And Squeenix said that nobody is playing turn-based. That turn-based is dead.
Guess who had the last laugh?

You'd be surprised but a million players might want to talk about a video game.

In my opinion SP games can't be "FOMO". They are designed to be experienced and, when completed, left alone. They're not live forever-grinds so there isn't really any sense of missing out.

Your cinematic movie slop is not a video game, tranny. Also what is there to talk about?

tried to play it but the mouse sens is beyond fucked and you can't even tweak it in the config file
refunded

Your anger is practically reason enough to have these threads and I'm not kidding.

Do you enjoy living in a world of self-delusion, tranny? Shill your slop somewhere else

Nah, I enjoy living in a world where games I enjoy succeed. Don't like it here? Get a rope.
Thanks for bumping the thread though. It's entertaining to watch your stupidity and frustration directly contradict your desire to see less of these threads.

I'm detecting a distinct lack of nose rings, plugged ears, chokers, rainbow hairs and pool floaty armed tattooed rejects

Must be why the game is successful

Welp, theyre going to get bought out by kike companies like Embracer and get injected with troons and blue hairs. Its fucking ogre

Indeed get the rope, tranny and take your woke cinematic movie slop with you

playing FOTW woke trash

KEKAROOOO

708422997

why isn't my fictional universe historically accurate?!?!?

You people have completely muddled the definition of what "woke" is.

how the FUCK do you fix the insanely high sensitivity??

even this and the fact that they made a good game causes doomposting

how cooked is this board

Your life is really sad.

Chuds are trying to claim this game as their own because it didn't flop when this shit is more woke than Dragon Age Veilguard & Assassin's Creed.

france

not accurate

Lol

It has been fucked for a few years now. Maybe they're just in overdrive since the site was down for a couple weeks.

explain how it's good without using marketing terms

Turn it down to 1. it's dialed to console so it was slow as fuck on my controller but fast as fuck on my Keyboard.

Ah, I see the cunts have made their way back here

The gameplay is fun, the world is nice to look at, the characters are well acted and well written, and the plot is weird but entertaining.

take your meds, tranny

I'm pretty sure that you'd just have to kill half a dozen shitposters and the tranny jannies protecting them for this board to become readable again

I often see "Barry won" replies in Barry adjacent games... could it be that FAGrry himself replies this?

It has QTE as a central mechanics what else do you whiny entitled bitches want?

i turned that shit to 0 it's still way too high and i'm not fucking around with my dpi or windows settings
how is sens not in the config file either, i can't even add a multiplier to reduce it

without marketing phrases.

Is Expedition 33 based on a true story? No? Woaw, you must be retarded.

Thats literally all of the white people in France

Niggers have no place in society and shouldn't be represented in any media.

Expedition 33 director did an interview with FFXV director Tabata 5 days before release where they talk about JRPGs, FF and more

Tabata brought up how at SE when he wanted to do things in a traditional way for FF he was scolded by senior FF devs who told him to do things differently and do new things instead of copying the old ways

Tabata said that while the 2016 release date year was set in stone for XV by the higher ups when he became director, the actual specific month and day were up to Tabata, and he says laughingly he immediately regretted the September 30th date after setting it so far in advance

Expedition 33 director praised FFXV especially how the bros interact constantly and it makes them feel real

Tabata praised Expedition 33 and talked about how it feels more than just FF influence and said he's definitely gonna play it

holy based
of course ExpedCHADion 3CHAD3 director wanted to talk with HajiCHADme TaCHADbata and not Yoshi-hackshitPiss

news.denfaminicogamer.jp/interview/250415a

game not bad, it fun! sexy females
UOOOOOOOHHHH

barry won bigly this time lol

Expedition 33 is based on woke tranny faggots who can't make video games

holy shit
barry literally unironically won

without the phrasing of marketers raised on reddit who believe this is how incel chud nazis act

They've made more than you

this is what i was talking about here

God you newfags are such killjoys

I'm sorry, but all I'm reading is 'shut up, don't ask questions, just consume and the sound of someone chocking.' Could you please reply again?

seeing actual, literal autism on a retard that thinks he's intelligent is always funny.

Uhhh... bro.... barry won hard... see Expedition 33 director even praised FFXV and did a sit down exclusive interview with Tabata a week ago in the lead up to Expedition 33's release while he never once mentioned XVI or Yoshi-P

barry won
Bigly

I love you angry faggots. You remind me that smiling is important.

esl seething at a game made for white people

lol

Anon Babble back up

already flooded with subhuman trannies

And they do it for free too

its not their fault, they are given the clockwork orange treatment. Blackrock Orange.

I think the gestrals sounds kind of like créole (islands french), and sometimes like french guys reading english words with an atrocious french accent on purpose
I don't consider that woke but I guess some might

ah the tranny defense, a classic fallback

How long is the games credits? I'm being serious like if the team is really that small it probably takes all of 30 seconds to credit everyone.

why are you so averse to discussing the game you claim to be discussing? in what way is the gameplay(mashing x at the right time) fun? how are the characters well written? you can't because you're literally retarded. you're an automaton. in a week when your unpaid internship runs out the threads will trensition from 90% shitposters like you bitching about people supposedly ruining your threads by not mindlessly consuming artificial hype to 99% shitposters talking about which female character they ship with themselves.

The shartytroons are VERY angry that we're back and their little attack failed to kill the site for even two weeks.

It's not as classic as your gay diarrhea butt sex with your tranny father

he won

100% European, baby

There's still all the adjacent studios and translation teams
Why would I converse with a shitposter? Are you actually a newfag?

100% Cuckolds, tranny
FTFY

Genius comeback. 10/10
When can we get a game with this kind of grit?

Japan

FF7:R

Euro

Team 33

NA

???

can't read

no u

can't handle confrontation

holy shit you're underage. i'm sorry for taking you seriously.

When can we get a game with this kind of grit?

The moment you can decrypt your tranny father's SSD

FF7R

woke slop

Team 33

woke slop

your subhuman existence

woke slop

Why the fuck would my father have an SSD? Are you 12?

That's the point. If the trannies just scream that everything is woke then they can use that muddied definition as "proof" that people who call things woke have no real conception of what woke means. Every retard you see screeching that every little thing is woke is a false flagging tranny, or worse, a useful idiot for false flagging trannies. Your best bet is to just filter the word and ignore the freaks using it.

so is this like the JRPG version of BG3 where devs will finally realize that gamers like old school shit?

I'm sorry I'm not seriously engaging in a shitposting thread, anon. Maybe you'll get your epic debate some other place.

I see the well poisoning is going well

quintessential tranny post

The Paris metropolitan region, or aire urbaine, is estimated to be home to some 1.7 million Muslims, who comprise between 10–15 percent of the area's population, according to Wikipedia. An estimated 310,000 Jews also live in Paris and the surrounding Île-de-France region, according to Wikipedia.

KEK

JRPG?
Nigga this was made in France there is nothing japanese about this.

What is fucking hilarious is that they have all of these black background npcs, but then they hide them off camera whenever they can.
It is the most French thing I've ever seen in a game.

yeah diversity!

but let's hide them off screen because they kinda ruin them!

At least Atlus talked about the obvious race issues. Props the Atlus? I never thought I'd say this about Metaphor but it really did far more than other games about discussing racial issues in a game in a way that felt... proper and realistic (and then they fuck up some of the dialogue and links shit... sigh).
It didn't hide the niggers into the background of screen. It straight up had races lynching each other 1910s style.

I've only just start Ex 33, but I am very fucking worried that it's "not even woke" in that it puts some diversity shit to appease some lawyers and then just doesn't bother talking about it in their game. That worries me significantly.
It's delusional.

But I do like the gameplay, it's fun.
The performance is the worst I've experienced in a game though. I am at recommended and it's just ... fucked on so many levels that I doubt even a 5090 could fix it. It DESPERATELY needs optimisation. I'm looking for some hacks right now. Luckily I haven't got the steam version, so I should be able to try some shenanigans.

underaged AND retarded. can't imagine wasting my youth like this.

The J in JRPG means Japanese. This game is made by French devs

JRPG is an aesthetic
No I will NOT explain.

the expedition 33 woke tranny defence force is sperging out of control
kek

called french persona

not a jrpg

lol

No one calls Ramen, Pho despite both being noodle dishes. If you classify things by "vibes" then words lose meaning.

E33 is a french developed turn based RPG. Is it good? Sure. Is it a JRPG? It isnt because its not made by Jap devs for Jap audiences.

no u are the underage newfag

lol
lmao

new rpg in a rpg devoid decade

rpgs are long and hence many people across continents are online for hours

players from continents overlap

Whoa!

Shill your western woke slop somewhere else faggot

He couldn't be king of a toilet

correct. that is indeed what i said.

only 100k

TOTAL FLOP

What's this game about anyway

Yeah and?

KEKOLDRY like any western game

NA

Avowed
Dragon Age: Veilguard
Concord
Dustborne

basically this paintress paints on the tower a number. Everyone who ages to that number gets Thanos snapped and dies. Your GF got thanos snapped and you want to stop the paintress from killing anymore.

100% European, baby

game has cute girls

people buy it

Will they learn the French method?

Expedition 33 director praised ffxv a week ago and just did an interview with Tabata

big boy barry won bigly

if you spam the dialogue with the couple having sex in the prologue you get a lumina point

FUCK YOU

Dragon age is quebec and Dustborne is norway

grim

that's larry

100% European
baby

videogame categorization is meant to narrow recommendations and group similar games

dark souls is a japanese rpg but no one would call it a jrpg

the term jrpg has a literal definition and a categorical definition and only autists use the literal one

woke

LOL

No like what's the gameplay. Is this like that 33 immortals game that just came out too

I want to grope her buttocks non-consensually

this game is woke.

You're woke, faggot

It's Persona with Souls-like RPG mechanics and Dodges. You do turnbase shit with your attacks but you need to dodge/parry boss attacks or else you get oneshotted. a very high risk high reward game.

It doesnt matter if no one calls Dark Souls a JRPG, it is categorically JRPG. People can choose to call it anything else but they would be wrong to say it isnt a JRPG.

1900s france?
Yeah not accurate.
2020s france?
Too many white people.

But this isn't France (actually I don't know, don't spoil).

What is funny is that I find this kinda entertaining nowadays because of how bizarre it is.
Normalfags HATE this shit. They HATE uncanny shit.

Have sex with black men, faggot.

E33 is a Turnbased RPG heavily inspired by JRPGs. It isnt one, even journos and other RPG enthusiasts make that distinction. Even Japs make that distinction by saying if you /love/ JRPGs you would love E33. They dont consider it as a JRPG. People can say its a JRPG but they would be wrong.

I'll wait for mods so that I can remove them.

kys your own mother wouldn't miss you

any tips on dodging ? im a fucking retard and cant dodge for shit, its either too early or too late

It's a JRPG
you will not win me over with any sane argument.

I just want to see her hair without using AI bloat anti-aliasing.
It goes through her face with low specs. It's so fucking bad.

You cannot play this game on low specs ay.

You can call it that but you would be wrong. You might as well call the Netflix adaptation of DMC, anime as well.

enemies usually give an audio indication before the window

Bloody bastard bitch fuck you bloody

It is.

Yeah sure call it that Im not stopping you. You would be wrong though

You've been fucked by Anon Babbleitics. Also CP2077 is a great game in retrospective.

It has black people, then proceeds to hide them in most cut scenes as much as it can.

"It's not even woke."

is teh game any good

I can't be wrong if I decide the definitions

It has a lot of things I like.
It has a lot of things I don't like.

It's very French.

It's like the Indiana Jones game. It tries to be woke commentary and then just becomes ironically prejudiced in the process.

it is not categorically a jrpg, it has spawned its own category

it will not appear on any jrpg recommendation lists or be tagged as such

terms like jrpg, roguelites, and soulslike are invented terms to group games and not literal perscriptivists definitionns

This sassy redhead needs to be disciplined.

How did they manage to find so many white people in modern France?

Meanwhile ff7Rebirth has like 70k max

How did they beat square enix so hard?

bro you not see the tranny in the middle?

Really great game so far.

I just got Sciel. Do I just drop Gustav and put her in?

They made a good game, something SE forgot how to do 20 years ago

The game is ugly and the art style is a complete mess. Western UE5 Photorealism does not mix well with copy-paste Persona UI and flamboyant JRPG character designs.

Sciel isn't that great desu
weakest party member

Then they are confusing and meaningless. Dark Souls is a Japanese Role Playing Game (JRPG) and Computer Role Playing Game (CRPG).

FF7 Rebirth LOST!

I saw people commenting that she was actually broken as fuck.

i thought op was stupid but then i look up and its really 120k

You lost.

um sorry sweetie but the reason 7r has such low steam numbers is because it already sold a billion copies on playstation

biche game

actually good so good word of mouth

sales go up

Love to see it.
120k concurrent while on game pass is really fucking good for a hand like this.

You're black, Barry.

was hifi rush on steam? if yes, how much did it peak?

Why can't any company achieve the same with a newly-released MMO? Games are more enjoyable when shared with other players

look at that. they didn't need to outsource to bangalore

this game is praised by normies so I bet it's complete trash

LMAO! YOU EXPECT ME TO HEAR THAT? LMAO!

Why are you so angry?

The irony

this gotta be a gaslight campaign, no way you like this turn based dogshit./

So much bait in this thread

Its a gaslight campaign alright. THEY ARE EXPOSING THE JAPANESW FOR MAKING SHITTY GAMES

It's inconsistent though which is annoying. Some enemies stay dead silent as they swing, while others make super blatant sounds.

I'll have probably beat the game by then. But I hope they patch it so enemies use consistent audio cues because a lot of the combat is trial-and-error as you figure out the timings for shit.

Why does she look like she's covered in shit here like the peasant from Holy Grail?

The whole game marketing is bait at this stage.

It's hard to have consistent any cues if you can't get a consistent framerate on it at all, even with 60fps/30fps set as the limit.

Metaphor has a fictional universe.
It has races.
Those races FIGHT each other and have issues.

That's much better than a racial world where the races pretend there is no race - which is orwellian and absurd.
How is Japan doing this better than France? The fuck is up with France? The game is passively racist while pretending it's not.

Well that explains the subconscious cropping of shots to keep black people out of focus, while at the same time having them exist at all, thinking that will be enough to appease critics on this shit.

Clown world tier shit. Must be made by white people.

dunks on Tendies

dunks on Wokies

dunk on Square

dunks on FF

dunks on Anon Babble

dunks on /reddit/

dunks on corpo dei slop

dunks on trannies (ywnbaw)

How did this game win so hard???

Well the game speaks for itself which is why im immune to all the shitposting surrounding it.

just do the opposite of what nuSE does and you win

Not really. It's performance is utterly awful. Totally ruins the game for me.

If I can run it on the deck you have no excuses.

How is this possible in France of all places?

I HAVE TO KILL THOUSANDS OF LIVING BEINGS BECAUSE ESCAPISM IS BAD

What was his problem?

he doesn't know

It has Shadowheart VA. A lot of people play it because of that alone.

golgra is kicking my ass, any tips?

Final fantasy 16 shills in shambles.

week end

paid streamers all handing out free shit so people buy the fomo of the week

not having to see the blacks is a net positive

No it looks like ass and has other issues when doing that. You actually need better settings to make it usable for me.

It was so fucking stuttery on low.

As a jewish non-binary person this is deeply upsetting for me!

You might as well not fucking have them and just admit you don't want them there.
The worst part is

dressing them all as Europeans

That's kinda offensive to them right? You're denying their original culture there.

Oh wait, no it's ok when homogenizers are indirectly racist and washing away race and culture.
Fuck french nu-colonialism. Either you respect differences in race or you keep the issue out of the scope. You can't just fucking put races in and then have nobody talk about race. That's just unrealistic.

I've never seen a mixed group of friends that didn't talk about the situation they're in as friends. It's almost impossible not to. You start making racial jokes with your friends eventually to overcome that uncanny situation we find ourselves in today. That's how we cope. We don't just be completely silent on shit, that causes more anxiety and feels inhuman.

Eventually you might butt heads, but eventually you'll also get over it. That's how anglo cultures deal with this shit. They see the elephant, kick it in the butt and overcome it, mainly for lulz though I will admit.

w*men

yeah, no thanks.

The game that destroyed Falcom and Redditbirth fans.

Reddithbirth fans were already destroyed. Everyone knew it. E33 was just the moment when they themselves realised they'd lost.

Lol what a retard

who?

Every post above yours is a Chinese paid shill

Stop browsing Anon Babble

True

No wonder is good.

Isn’t Line Gustave’s ex?

No, Sophie was Gustav's ex. Then him and Lune hook up. And later you have the option to get Sciel and Verso to fuck too.

Rebirth is a good game but they should have released it with the PS5

What's funnier is that Fallout is more diverse in it's games, but because we're just so in-tuned to America having mixed races from the start that it never becomes uncanny in the games. Or it's not like Australia or NZ even with it's racial situations there. I think it's because it was caused by pre-modern states and societies so it feels more settled and naturalised.
I don't think Europe is ever going to get used to it's situation now. It's always going to feel uncanny and forced because of it's modernity.

France just released a jrpg that mogs nearly every jrpg released from japan in the last decade

How will Japan ever recover?

Didn’t Sophie imply that Gustave and Lune already fucked ?

i liked XVI but yeah, square enix and their eternal obsession with "appealing to the western audience".
it's japanese games that appeal to western audience. it's always been that way. what is wrong with Square, do they lowkey hate themselves? they must be fuming seeing this do gangbusters. i hope they do.

Gustave

Don't move anywhere. You are better of in that camp.

So do the people of the cursed monolith age just die on the day its written (grommage) or does someone who turns said age in say a month also just die?

Stop using discord, sir.

Jokes on you I cleared the beach course with mouse after giving up on controller
I kind of dig it
Some enemies have weird timings but obvious audio cues
Some enemies have weird audio cues but obvious visual cues
It's good there's no one size fits all method

lol, lmao even

spoiler, but:
people don't age, everything you see in the game happens inside a painting someone made for escapism, and the gommage its a mechanism to simulate death. Initially you embark on a journey to stop the paintress but then you learn the truth that everything is fake and gay, so you have to choose to restore the painting (and therefore all the people who died), or destroy it entirely so the paintress can go back to the real world continue with her life.

studio will be pozzed to the gills by its next release, enjoy it while it lasts

tranny in literal center.
all french should be fried in oil.

Consider the aroma..

beat the game

Alright now here is an endgame sidequest about the sister you didn't know much about

She wants her brother's dick.

I shouldn't be surprised, it's a French game inspired by Japanese shit, so it was basically guaranteed to have incest, but still.
Nearly cried at Verso's ending. Clea should've died instead

the Renoir fight on Expert

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

this game feels ai generated. actual slop.
please stop playing shitty games because it has white people in them, you look desperate and silly.

i fucking knew it. even with no knowledge of the game before pirating it and trying it today

white fragility is real

No she wants him to fuck her after her death.

elemental genesis go brrr

the volleyball minigame is the worst minigame I've ever played in my entire life. it's one of the, potentially the worst thing I've ever experienced in a video game at all. there is no way in hell these frog CUNTS played this themselves to ship it like this

I DON'T WANT THIS LIFE
Fuck you beacon bitch.

Mom said it's my turn to cycle the elements.

I do so much damage with Verso and Maelle it only took me two tries.
Only really fucked thing is the erasure attack

yeah it's bad. I did the first two and quit out. If you just want the achievement, you don't have to do them all. Otherwise, yeah you gotta suffer.

Woke Tranny Slop

A lot of games of the genre since the late 00's and early 10's have more dating elements, underages in panties or ugu moe art + waifu threads and porn from game characters got more popular than ever + some people spend a lot in skimpy skins and gacha rolls.
Saying that offends otakus, they'll pretend nothing changed and move goalposts by saying JRPGs were always anime or fanservice always existed. Which is true (heck, Akira Toriyama coined the term pafu pafu/puff puff in Dragon Quest/Dragon Ball around the 80's), but that was never the point.
The hikikomori culture grew a lot in the last 15 years in Japan, and along with it stuff like gacha, idols and objectifying and treating everything as a product.
It's a society problem that spreaded into every medium, JRPGs and anime included.
Japan and weeaboos keeps losing in the end

HR departments all over the place are destroying major companies.

Enough about Rebirth.

Do you really think I care about about the latest Tranny Enix or Crapcom games? Yes, Rebirth is woke slop just as this western turd your point?

turn based

YAWN

That girl with the cards feels op

Daybreak and Xenoblade are full of niggers as well. Keep seething.

Holy shit I'm starting to get 9999 crits on Maella after beating Sciel and getting the sword. I've just been upgrading Luck and Agility on her, and now I can just oneshot normal mobs.

how long is this game if I don't care about 100% completion? I don't want to burn out before finishing

20 hours
