this game is so fucking kino
Expedition 33
turn based combat
It actually tricks you into thinking it's kino and then goes full cinema.
It's a white game, of course it's good.
fucking zoomer
What's supposed to be impressive about that image? The colors are bland and there's nothing visually interesting.
trying too hard there lmao
go back to discord tranny
I SEEEEEEEEEE YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU
I FEEEEEEEEL YOOOOOOOOOOOOOU
I SEEEEEEEEEE YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU
*time for swimswim!*
I FEEEEEEEEL YOOOOOOOOOOOOOU
big thing in the distance
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW KIIIIIIINOOOOOOO
dimwit test, congrats you passed
this is the game nier replicant should've been
can you fight it?
you sound like a fucking child
i don't think so
Reddit: The Video Game
I can't see anything in this image though
i love this nigga like you wouldn't believe
not my fault you're blind
Why did Japs abandon world maps? Exploring this felt much better than an Ubislop "open world". No filler, if you find a location it has a purpose. And when you get to chap 3 and realise you can fly past the mountains that you thought were the edge of the map, and onto floating islands... ludokino
what lvl do u need to be to beat him?
le hekcing massive dark souls environments
It's so tiresome. It looks like shit.
we get it
Bit obvious with these shill posts no?
don't think i've had such a good time playing an rpg since lost odyssey
absolutely zero fat on this game and the scaling of your characters after act 3 makes grinding enjoyable
japan kneeled
Why the fuck are the side bosses 20x harder?
If you get hit once, you're dead wtf
do you have 0 defense
Technically, you could beat it level 1, bit I recommend you have the lumina that allows you to do over 9999 damage. Which at a part of the game where your level will be high enough to give it a go.
Jesus Christ shut the fuck up already
New peak btw
Sold out
But the box is right there?
This looks ugly
most people haven't realized their stats mainly come from pictos and not skillpoints and getting rekt as a result
How much longer until everyone admits this game is mid?
go play a game then... oh wait, you don't play any game, you shitpost all day
Until the shills rental period runs out
When Clair Obscur 2 comes out and is even better.
awesome fight
What about this is kino? It looks like every other game
show me another game with an overworld like this one's
Level doesn't really matter, you just need to be able to break damage cap.
None of this looks good. It's muddy and washed out
Anon Babble's absolute desperation to hate this game is fucking hilarious
to be fair i don't think i really focused on that until late act 2
seethe
I'm not even trying to be a contrarian or shitpost, the visuals look bad to me. It looks like an asset flip. The muted "realistic" colors and the overuse of CA are what really give me this impression I think but the character models, outfits, and level design turn me off too. I believe the gameplay is good but it's just too ugly for me to give a shit about
your bait is stale
hey Alicia wanna die? Sure no problem
SHUT THE FUCK UP VERSO AND PLAY THE PIANO MY ETERNAL KEK
an asset flip
asset flip of fucking what?
show me an overworld as impressive.
Problem with UE5. Makes me depressed that the game wasn't made prior to that slop and done in a different engine, the art direction is fantastic but the implementation -- like with all UE5 games -- is awful. No matter how many changes I made to the graphics I could not create anything that didn't look like smeared shit.
Punishment for all the people he betrayed.
I still don't understand why Final Fantasy ditched the overworld thing.
sovl
This game is legitimately ugly
I didn't say it's bad, it's funny
It's not realistic.
Post a good looking game then
Objectively, turn based cant be kino, it can only be autistic
how many times are you going to spam this?
you can shoot the whale and manta ray
does anything happen if you keep doing it?
it looks ugly because your monitor is off
post more kin0 landscapes
Who was in the wrong here?
i wanna sniff Sciel's ass
Ok I wanted the cheevo NOW so I cheesed him.
Will load the save later to actually fight him proper. No idea why there is no "duplicate save" functionality though
No idea how people are pulling billions though, even 68 mil took me a while to roll with casino. Maybe they are gay? Hmm, yes, this explains it...
It's beyond woke
game universally praised for being visually stunning
retarded contrarians here still desperate to shitpost
lmao get a life
it's kino now random disparate assets plopped together because it's easier than having a creative cohesive vision
I see
oh we're using this buzzword now huh
run out of fuel by spamming that the game is ugly?
explain how it's "woke"
you're trying way too hard
lalala it's kino because I was told it's kino
niintoddlers throwing a tantrum again lmao
can you fight this thing?
im depressed now after 100% it, what do i do now
i want another rpg i guess, star ocean 6 any good? its on sale
what can ease down my itch for a world map rpg with a lovable party
ye, once you can fly
it drops the picto energy master which adds +1 AP to any AP gains
Yup, in act 3.
nice

this piece of shit minigame took me like 25 minutes
if you're unlucky with RNG and he shoots on the opposite sides all the time then you'll get fucked
why is she so sad :(
she hit the wall
kino
This fucker was harder than Malenia
It was also 10 times more kindo
The key to success is to realize that if you missed one you will probably miss the next as well and focus on the one after that instead.
lmao
kino area
I fucking hate retards so fucking much
Why do you exist?
saying this game is ugly is the most retarded take
display box
sciel's voice makes me diamonds
having a fucking preference doesn't make people retarded you fucking retard
can someone tell my why the fuck i'm loving this game rn?
it doesn't make any sense on paper, this shit seems like some bullshit ass moviegame
then why do you go into a thread of a genre you hate, nigger?
extremely well paced and the optional end-game grinding doesn't just feel like a checklist of chores
It's a handful of schizos at most. The usual Anon Babble contrarian schizo behavior when something gets really popular and praised, made even worse if it happens really fast like in this case
145k concurrent btw
It looks like an asset flip
The only reason anyone is saying this is because the devs are painfully honest about everything and mentioned using some assets. Here's the thing, though- EVERY game does this to an extent. Most just don't mention it
game's message is to stop leaning into escapism and to move on with your life
just like evangelion, it will be lost on most people here
One of the best boss fight introduction ever
The director said in an interview few days ago
I'm entirely responsible for this minigame. I made it shit because I have fond memories of bad minigames in great video games from my childhood
he is a literal autist
Look at the anti soul gas everywhere
The new schizo narrative is "the OST is AI generated and not memorable" which is even more retarded
looks like someone took a giant shit everywhere
baby first overworld
speak english fuckwit
the desperation is fucking killing me
Looks like shit.
this bot is broken
Good. Keep going. Feeling better?
ok i can respect that
i mean it wasn't that bad, probably a bit from skill issue from me as well, but it definitely got me more frustrated than any enemy in this game so far did
No. Seeing herds of goyim hooting and hollering over this mediocricity has ruined my day.
fuck this nigga
go outside
There are people literally complaining about this game because they feel it's NOT turn based due to the dodge/parry system.
The characters are weird looking but the environments are insane.
Until the next fotm appears
thought he was a pushover
second phase
alright
I felt bad for killing the tisser but I was getting too filtered by the sirene without anticharm
why they copied the UI from persona 5?
Was Scavenger tied to anything? I just explored the map, went in and ended up fighting it. He even had a cutscene and everything.
drools over FOTM
”People who disagree are pathetic”
Uh-huh. You’re a real free-thinker. So impressive and mature. Fucking retard.
panties
not spats
YAHOO!
Way better than real-time. Playing this makes me understand why people don't like the real-time shit in Rebirth, there's way more depth and options.
this entire game is a knock off of various japanese rpg's, except with realistic visuals and forgettable characters
How did they make Esquie so based? He's obviously the wholesome chungus character but he's not cringe at all, how did they do it?
fpbp
fuck off china shills
Go play a bing bing wahoo game on your nintendo switch, faggot!
I beat him before doing the monolith. If you have the patience you can probably do it as soon as you get swimming.
It seems like most the side content is best to play once you get to Act 3.
The trick is to aim in between where you think it's going, the cone is deceptive and the animation takes a second. If you hated this one, you are going to really hate the one for maelle's swimsuit.
Sophie, you still don't have children, you stupid cunt
Real JRPG. Even Abe's propaganda is there.
Maelle's swimsuit was easier to get.
Maelle Swimsuit minigame is way easier, especially since it seems to loop and there's a sequence where most balls drop from the same 2 zones
Anyways the key is to just switch to another side as the balls drop instead of trying to rush by going above first
Volleyball is horrendous in comparison due to the shitty dead zones
Really? boat took me 3 tries, the last beach one took me about as long as that horrible always up jumping one. In the end I lucked out and it was caught in some loop where all the water balloons spawned on the left 2 lanes and I just cruised from the halfway point to the end.
I think it helps that the climbing comes pretty late and is straight forward. Volleyball is much more likely to be tried earlier on and its with the weird overworld/exploration movement and attack, which has a weird timing and delay.
FPBP
lost to mime in 2 turns
I think expert is too much for me...
His health pool is huge so you need to get to act 3 first
you can eavesdrop a fucking couple until they are annoyed
Kek.
he didn't talk to trash can guy at the prologue
he doesn't know at the very last area of the game if you talk to him again you'll get the strongest material for weapon upgrades for free as a second reward from trash can man
the entire plot is about emotional women destroying a family and men having to salvage the situation
What did they mean by this?
inb4 Clea
She wears the pants in that house
Unlike other jrpg characters who go for (((japanese humor))), Esquie is just a chill guy. And a wise one at that
But I did.
literally couldn't do this without cheesing the last 40% with a lucky roulette gradient
my 2 extra members are trashcans compared to my main team
t.ranny
Monoco & Verso
trashcans
he embraces being absolutely retarded
(also he doesnt look out of place considering the other non humans are also mostly retarded)
i mean in terms of how much i've invested in them you dummy
Any expert bros in here? on what are you spending your points? I felt like HP and defense means jackshit most of the time
Yoshi-P convinced everyone in square it's bad design since they were the only ones doing it.
Unironically, the Yoshi-P era is the worse Square era
for real.
what kills the presentation to me is how floaty the movement feels, jumping is a jankfest too
maybe instead of investing into 4k monitor you should have invested into a better gpu
points in HP means you can talk a hit or two in a 10 minute combo
its on ps5 pro running at graphics mode though. now before you talk shit about being on console, consider that these french faggots should have paid the chink code monkeys better so it would not look like smeared shit.
console
lol
lmao
is the cards girl any good?
she's great
can be built into a monster damage dealer or an ap battery + double damage buffer for other characters
Sorry, Chang, but
Assassin's Creed lost
Square Enix lost
Trannies lost
Japan won
Turn based combat won
White people won
not memorable
This one is absolutely true, but music doesn't need to be catchy to be good.
its unreal engine slop, console or not. it has that samey unreal engine lighting and looking textures.
nigga what the fuck are you talking about, there's a ton of earworms
there's a ton of earworms
Post at least 10.
You mean phase 3 right?
this entire game is a knock off of various japanese rpg
Yeah but it isn't weeb shit which makes it 10/10 kino!

Went into it completely blind besides the first trailer
Finished never coming onto Anon Babble or any messageboard
Was blown away by all the twists, loved it, happy I experienced it raw
Come onto Anon Babble after to discuss the game and the threads are full of retards who are on act 1 or 2
Imagine how pathetic you must be having so little self control you can't stay off Anon Babble long enough to finish a masterpiece. Pathetic.
The brown is going to deny them being good.
99% White musicians btw.
Vitality is only good until you get First Strike Pictos at the last Act 1 DUngeon.
First Strike + AGI min maxxing = always get 2x turns before any boss or random encounter (do NOT initiative battle by attacking enemies because it locks you into 1 turn before them instead of 2 for some retarded reason)
Then HP is even more useless in Act 2 because you can casually walk by the Dark Shores areas and get the In Media Res Pictos for +3 Shields at battle start for all alies (enemies there are murderape but you can literally flee from them turn 1 because of First Strike to grab In Media Res)
So AGi + Speed boosting equipped Pictos + First Strike
Once you reach around 70 AGI though start putting points into LCK instead for more speed and higher crits as AGI gets dimishing returns
Spend all your points on agility, after that spend all your points on luck, you're welcome, lil bro.
Exactly, the ost is just a bunch of professionally made epic cinematic music, but none of that shit is truly memorable or hummable.
Just finished it, amazing, 10/10. I just wish it didn't rely so much on parrying/dodging to the point it becomes the entire gameplay since you barely have to think to do millions of damage
lmao retard you haven't even listened to any of the music, much less played the game
Parrying is too hard
I've played the game and it's 10/10 overall, no idea why you're throwing a hissy fit here.
verso skips out on expedition 60 because he know that if he tried that shit with them they would've packed him up
Jej
This is why McDonald plays classical music in the evening. To prevent nogs like this from loitering in the restaurant.
it only got hard late into the game were every enemy is just fainting and delaying 10 hit combos, but then again if I wanted to play guitar hero I'd play guitar hero
you're just straight up lying, anon. Like, blatantly, openly, easily provably, lying.
Why is this game so fucking good and is there even anything that can come close the remainder of the year
you're just straight up lying
No.
not unless lost odyssey gets a surprise re-release
the ost is just a bunch of professionally made epic cinematic music
a complete and utter lie, so blatantly and openly false it's baffling you would ever think someone would believe it, and further believe that you've played the game at all.
Death Stranding 2 will get GOTY because of industry connections.
Other than that, there'd have to be another out of nowhere indie hi now that GTA VI was delayed to next year.
Kojimbo has never actually won a Geoff Award despite the constant fellatio
Agility>Luck>Primary Attack if above A scaling>Might>Defense>Vit
Vit from random pictos is more than Vit from 99 stat
That game was just misery porn. I made the mistake of reading the journal. Also, why would they make a minigame out of a funeral?
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a textbook example of style over substance. Its sudden popularity isn't organic—it's the result of a coordinated marketing push, with paid streamers and e-celebs hyping it up for clicks and sponsorships. The gameplay is shallow, the combat lacks real depth, and the narrative feels like an afterthought wrapped in vague "artsy" nonsense. Strip away the painterly visuals, and you're left with a mediocre turn-based RPG trying to mask its flaws with flair. Without influencer hype, no one would be talking about this game—it’s not good, just marketed well.
Oh and you can drop luck once you start getting high 30%+ crit pictos
Personfag calling out something for being style over substance.
No need to be so bitter anon. You'll get P6 eventually.
organic
Stopped reading there
youtube.com
somethings wrong with my verso
Caring about graphics
You're not a real jrpg player.
It's just one of those moments where people who are having their first experience of a decent game of its kind clash with those who have been there for things that were bigger and better in their time clash together. Shit like this has been going on for decades, just read vidya mags from the late 90s/early 2000s and you get the same seethe.
qrd on agility? I'm always first or are you guys saying that with enough agility you can get double turns or something?
things that were bigger and better in their time
Yes? Ex33 is about the length of a SNES rpg.
It's literally a third-person shooter.
t. my Verso build
Comparing scopes when the technological gap is that gigantic makes no sense. TES Arena had all of Tamriel, it must have taken a lot more effort to develop than one island out of only Morrowind.
How do I make good builds for my team? My Maelle exceeds everyone's damage by light years
That's normal. No other character reaches her heights. Lune and Sciel are basically useless in Act 3, other than buffing Maelle to even more obscene numbers.
its not turn based its parry slop
how do I play Maelle without Lune to burn enemies on the first turn?
I've seen Verso doing some pretty good damage in videos tho, not as broken as Maelle but respectable
Actually no, Morrowind took vastly more effort to produce. Daggerfall and Arena are 2D, neither use a great deal of graphical assets and they both made heavy use of procedural generation to fill in 99% of the game world. That's not the point I was making anyway, I'm saying a lot of EX33 players just haven't been around long enough to know any better.
Sciel and Lune can both do big numbers, they just require more set-up than little miss "I breathe and deal 50 billion damage"
Get Medallum sword, use Stendhal skill, congrats you just did 8 mil damage.
Now cast 2x damage buff from Sciel, congrats you did 6 gorillion
Exactly. 3 turn setups are useless when Maelle ends anything when battle start.
and that's a boring way to play so I don't do it
so at some point on the game I won't have to rely on parries to deal damage? I'm playing on expert and most side bosses are parry or dodge for age
Better not be lying boy
well Act 3 will bring major changes, like uncapping your damage for example so your max isn't 9999
Enjoy anon. And I say this with love: fuck off from /v and don't come back until you've finished it.
Put Frenchie dubs on for maximum immerion
Nice, don't look at Anon Babble. Most people are done, don't get spoiled.
The first biome is kind of mid. Push to the underwater level at least where things open up.
zamn, kinda miss my neet day, will be playing this for weeks
You can tell replicant heavily influenced this game.
Just started this game, I'm at the prologue and on the fifth save reload to beat that rematch duel because of my pride
just dodge for now
Will do :)
star ocean 2 is the best one
Sega in the credits
HE
how the fuck are people doing billions of damage? i do bitch boy damage like youtu.be
also this guy is the worst parry/dodger in the history of video games jesus christ
world map rpg with a lovable party
The Star Ocean 2 Remake is really the only recent thing that comes to mind.
alt tab and bitch on Anon Babble
win right after
ez
Maelle
Virtuoso Stance
Stendhal
Every damage %+ lumina.
Luminas to have other party members give you shields and the one to icnrease damage by 15% per shield if you want to go truly obscene.
Why does it look like a korean mmo?
are you blind?
expedition 33 has a nicer ring to it than how my daughter and those niggers at the publishing house ruined everything
Maelle
You didn't beat the game.
Are you? OPs pic looks the scenery from some gook cultivation game
I took a sneak peak at the simon fight and holy shit that nigga is going to make me break a controller when I actually do fight him
Is it also a NG+ thing though?
No. NG+ has nothing new, just upscaled enemies.
To all my employedGODS, we'll finish the game this month and have threads to post, stay chill
UE
Fog obscuring 10ft in front of you otherwise the game will explode
I officially gave up on it today
I beat it this weekend bro. I didn't 100% it though. I'll go through all the stuff I missed bit by bit next weekend.
I did this fight today, it was FUCKING GREAT.
What's the point of free aim
burn
weak spots
you better be here when that happens bro
thank you for using /spoilers everyone, I wanted to check some stats and strategy advice
sega published the game in japan
Yes, this is what it's useful for, but why add it as a mechanic? It feels disconnected from the rest of combat.
it's annoying having to waste ap on free aim shots but it's part of the games charm or something idk. wasn't that big of a deal to me
you can proc lumina affects without wasting a turn
a little more variety in how you approach encounters
So how the fuck am I supposed to beat Clea without a one-shot build? This shit is undoable, there's like 7 guys attacking me simulatneously with different speeds and patterns
Ditto on star ocean 2 remake.
You did choose Maelle's ending right bros?
It looks like the bought and flipped the entire Unreal asset store and sold that as a game.
dodgechads ww@? imagine being a parryfag
I did it in act 2, lv35 i think.
Took me a few tries, maybe 8 or 9.
Once you learn his pattern you can parry every single attack easily. He does the same 4 attacks in a row.
temporary "bliss" at the cost of other's misery and untold futures that ends in misery and no legacy
Verso and Renoir were right. Choosing the correct ending is a litmus test.
not reading all that
yes its turn-BASED
Art direction =/= graphical fidelity and effects. The game looks weirdly blurry in a lot of screenshots. The camera in clips is awkward and jittery. A lot of people value visual clarity and this game does not really have that, at least from screenshots.
When is China going to steal this games combt and turn it into another gacha?
Lumierish people are quite chill considering they are living the end of the world. Makes you think what we would do at an extinction scenario event.
They really didn't need to go so hard on the Goblu fight song
youtu.be
listening to The Manor (Our Painted Family) soundtrack on loop on youtube
see if it's in the unofficial OST
it's not
Why?
Mihoyo already released their turn-based gacha so probably not anytime soon. Funnily enough, the parry/dodge mechanic would actually work in gachaslop because those games are already only use two buttons.
There's like 2 hours worth of theme variations in the game that aren't in the OST.
and Sciel's double damage buff
and (greater)powerful+(greater)defenseless+mark
God I hate how blatantly AI the whole soundtrack is
Im his best friend btw
Don't need all that. Can oneshot Simon just with Medalum, the right luminas and Stendhal.
temporary "bliss" at the cost of other's misery and untold futures that ends in misery and no legacy
which ending are you talking about? because both are temporary, both cost other's misery, both remove legacy.
There is obviously a time dilation between the canvas and the real world. Maelle could live out centuries in the painting with the people she loves, or live as a burnt cripple in a war-torn france.
The only AI here is you. But without the I part.
Shielding Death + Lune's revive skill + on death/revive Pictos let me outlast every boss with low damage until Simon came along with his cheat skills
Anon asked how to do billions, you need all that
of course not
The gommage has been going on for 67 years. The oldest person is 33. Their entire life is about the gommage so it's as natural as the sun rising. It's like how americucks have no idea what life is like without school shootings so they're okay with it.
Absolutely not.
Should I play it with a controller or is m&k fine?
Maelle could live out centuries
By all indications, about 60-70 years. If Clea and Renoir don' pull her out before that.
And once she's out or dead, Clea and Renoir destroy the Canvas.
The only possible future is accepting Verso's death in the real world, moving beyond grief, reconciling the family to stand against the Writers, and in time paint her own Canvases. Staying in the Canvas only results in a few decades of deceit, based on real Verso, Painted Verso, and real Renoir's misery and pain as Alicia's real body breaks down in delirium.
All the fights are great if you don't grind like a tard. I went final boss level 45 and I had a blast
But you don't need to do billions. Highest boss health is 45 million.
one ending directly denies the painted people free will
the other does not
Will you fight? Or die like a dog?
Of course because I'm not a genocide retard.
60-70 years irl.
Renoir was in the canvas for 67 years
idk if it was mentioned how long irl that was, but definitely not very long. she could live for a 1000 years potentially inside the canvas.
nice opinion, your Discord make it for you?
They're already dead, with only Sciel, Lune and Verso left. What free will? The free will to be resurrected to live a few decades in a doomed world with a literal goddess who's slowly going mad?
Why do you invert Maelle? I invert Lune, use Maelle to prep burning, Verso to give the party AP then front load all damage on Lune. I have the stain on shoot weapon, a bunch of damage buff pictos, shoot 4x then cast mayhem. Kills everything in one turn.
You didn't pay attention. She'll die. She doesn't have thousand of years in the Canvas. Aline was way, way stronger than her and spent at most 91 in-Canvas years inside, and she mad as a hatter and her body breaking down outside.
It's not.
Maelle can already oneshot bosses at that point in Virtuoso with Epee and damage buffs like the +50% from Inverted.
What if Persona 5 meets Dark Souls: the videogame
Is this kino?
you've got them backwards
Prologue and Chapter 1
Heroic Adventure through a mysterious land will with wonder and danger
Everything past that
Family Drama with pretty backdrops
Maybe I built Maelle wrong then. I use her mostly in defensive stance since when she gains AP the party does too.
For Verso I have him fully built for shoot and base attack. He gets another turn after using base attack which I then use to buff AP, then I use all the AP with Lune.
If anything does survive I refill all my AP by dodging with Maelle.
Why 91? Do we know long she was in there before Renoir went in to get her out?
First off, you're brown, so don't insult me by saying I'm not paying attention, learn your place nigger.
Maelle's mom was stricken with grief, not mad. Her body was already old. She's an old ass woman. It's totally logical that Maelle could survive for hundreds of years in the canvas just fine.
lol you are angry.
Aline wants to kill herself in escapism
Renoir has to get her out
Alicia wants to kill herself in escapism
Verso has to get her out
they really are their parent's children.
But Where the fuck is Clea?
Trying to back track sometimes is pretty annoying, I can never remember exactly that one NPC or that one mime is
nigger we literally spend majority of our day on Anon Babble, gooning or playing videogames. we are the escapists.
I would hope none of us are delusional enough to think this is a healthy way to spend time
That's why we know Verso is right.
I like the game a lot but its funny that the combat is just Sekiro with maybe one extra button
yes, but I'm asking why is Clea an afterthought in the Parent/Children allegory?
Clea has no time for this bullshit, she did enough to make Renoir win in the long run and went back irl
it's Sekiro if Sekiro had character builds
It's either not much longer than 67 years, or 91 years max because of Painted Verso's age, depending on if she created him as a 26-year old (the age he was when he died) or if he had a childhood in the Lumière she created.
You didn't pay attention. The game is very clear on the fact that even the 16 years Alicia already spent inside is too long. Multiple times.
middle sibling energy.
oh no I'd much rather put on a brave face and endure the uncomfortable hell world for the next 50 years at least it's honest right?
It gets mogged by Yakuza 8 hard, only people impressed by this game are western tourists who dont actually play turn based games so these mechanics are new to them even though theyve been done many times before
Euro bants ITT
I can't do it bros, I can't defeat the Clair Obscur.
Tomorrow will never come...
So glad this was on Game Pass. The dodging and parrying never works because the attack animation never lines up with when you're supposed to dodge. At least it doesn't take much space on my hard drive, but I'll probably uninstall it anyway. This could never compete against Persona and classic Final Fantasy.
What about Expedition 0? They had it harder, they had to rebuild a city in the middle of sea.
anon, just literally parry/counter them to death.
There's like 5 patterns in these 3 combined
filtered
chromatic troubador is just retarded.
The OST alone makes it GOTY
youtube.com
I can't get the timing down for the AoE silence attack or the gradient counter. Is there a silence resist picto anywhere? Being unable to use skills is a death sentence. I'd probably OTK these faggots if my damage wasn't being capped.
I hope they fix it in a patch because after the youtube hype burns out people are going to drop it
sorry wrong song
youtube.com
If you did post game you'd understand she's not. She grieves by distancing and dismissing her family. She berates them all and says out loud she wouldn't care if they stayed in the painting forever and that the only reason she needs them is for her personal revenge quest.
As for her representation in the painting itself, the real Clea went on a fucking warpath and wiped out most of the shit in there that had to do with her.
She overwrites her painted self and locks her in the flying manor to become a Nevron factory
She tricks Simon (Painted Clea's lover) by giving him powers and pointing him towards Aline, who tells him the truth which leads him to fight Renoir and lose.
She also has Simon kill the Axon that represents her, the one you saw in old Lumiere.
i skipped most of the chromatic enemies because i don't like aggresively wasting my free time
orchestral/hymns in every song
I can see why reddit LOVES this game now
They are SONGS anon, songs are allowed to have lyrics.
WHOA dude LMFAO hymns!!
at least open the videos before you start lying about them, anon
Clea is one of those people who untag themselves from all the Facebook photos of herself.
AoE silence attack
press dodge after the light sword lights up. roughly 0.5 seconds in between each (reminder the human reflex is 0.2 seconds)
gradient counter
only Noir does this, gradiant counter after the second sword lights up.
Also kill Noir ASAP because if he casts enrage you'll be dodging forever
literally me
nah go back and take your AI generated slop with you
Random soundcloud dude deserves an award for this soundtrack.
anon what do you think a hymn is
stop shilling this ugly heap of trash
why do modern games make their worlds a bunch of incoherent trash
hymns
it's Renoir and Aline arguing anon.
It's a literal musical
shameless fifth element rip off
so it's like that fuckhuge dude in FFXIII that you can never fight.
this games story and dialogue is so ass! how can you faggots actually enjoy this? I am at the part where verso joins the party. this shit is so plainly obvious written by a woman. its so trash! nothing these characters have to say is cool or deep in anyway and behave and speak and think like leftists faggots.
get filtered nigger
fpbp
you have to be white
this. loved the game, but technically it's a fucking MESS. installed mods to fix what the devs can't. gonna finish it and never play it again. FUCK dark souls and FUCK fromslop
whoa... a jrpg without vocals all over the music?! reddit must hate it
I hate that he doesn’t love us as much as the old Verso
That's the most boring shit I've ever heard
Why are you fighting grandma's fireplace brass?
Chat, does he know?
They're like cousins. Same same but different. Esquie loves everyone.
The canvas didn't need to be destroyed if the girls knew how to control themselves.
These damn drug addicts.
kills painted self helping Alicia
kills Axion hepling Renoir
who's side is she on?
technically only Alicia needed to control herself.
It wasn't until Verso realized Alicia was lying and was intentionally gonna suicide by copium that he decided to destroy the canvas.
the side of getting over this dumb shit killing writers
Whatever side hates the Writers too
Simon is the worst boss fight in the history of videogames.
This game is virtually unplayable. Why are you defending it?
Does it cause you pain you can't poggers or kekw here you faggot little cunt
What’s with Expedition 60 being the biggest chad of them all?
How do I use anyone but Maelle Verso and Monoco
I'm in Act 3, check marking everything before I head to presumably the finale of the game (heading back to Lumiere) and I can't use lune or Sciel. They're both just non-existent to my party. This combo is just so strong. Lune seems like she takes too long to do anything and Sciel I'm just too lazy to figure out how to properly set up her skills since you're suppose to stack multiple sun or moon cards first before entering twilight.
How hard and or frustrating is he? Is he Valkyrie from GOW tier? Isshin from Sekiro tier? What about Yozora from KH3? Yozora is my litmus test for bullshittery in games.
Lead writers father died at 60, it was an homage to hig gommage
you'd use them unless you want to oneshot everyone in the finale, missing the atmosphere and dialogue
Nta but I think he's legitimately Yozoro tier.
With lune and sciel it's like a three turn deal instead.
Give Lune 100% crit chance, elemental trick and then elemental genesis.
Renoir goes SO FUCKING HARD in this song.
the horrible scaling of the last level is tragic.
When mom comes in to help you I was honestly going "I'm pretty sure I was kicking his ass before you came along, but okay".
Also when Renoir does his ultimate attack a second time and everyone is going "oh no not again", my response was "it does 100 damage, you're fine"
I really like using Lune as a super buffer/healer with typhoon, just get rush/shell/powerful/+ap/etc on heal and you're just supercharging the rest of the team, only have to refresh it every 3-5 turns too so can do other stuff as well.
soundtrack - 9/10
visuals - 9/10
story - 8/10
gameplay - 5.5/10
I look forward to seeing what they do in the future, hopefully with more fleshed out game mechanics.
act 3 onward sciel is definitely a victim of her kit design
but she's really good as a buffing ap battery while any other 2 characters just shit out damage every turn
If you didn't use Verso Maelle Sciel the entire game you played on easy mode.
don't use easy mode characters
played on easy mode
what does anon mean by this?
probably should have done all those super dungeons after beating the story
I did it! I shredded them by putting Maelle in my frontline party and having her spam the 8 hit move she learned from Gustave.
Maelle
Easy mode
lol, lmao even
I was hitting for hundreds of thousands right after Paintress
congrats anon. Just a few more hard fights before you're through the difficulty curve and become a one shotting god for endgame!
She still has the
Give a turn to an ally
Which is incredibly good utility.
if you didn't beat the game with gustave you didn't really beat the game
You can always contain yourself and not do it, anon.
It's as easy as not using maelle.
outsourcing your shitposting to A.I
relying on A.I to tell you when something is woke or not
Onwards Expedition 33!
Tomorrow comes!
not using tools to make your life easier
Play suboptimally not giving a shit about pictos or skills beyond some basic utility
game remains fun throughout the whole story mode
think i've finally finished all the extra locations and can finally go and most likely 1 shot the final boss
the only thing that could make this game better is if there was some exclusive post-game dungeon
it's ok, 5th element is already a shameless Valerian rip-off.
there are many of them in the overworld
OOH ALICIAAAAA
but you can fight the adamantoise in ff13 and it takes 72 real time hours to beat or something
thinking is hard!
just end yourself.
i invert everyone
where do i find this fellow?
Isshin
lmao
I didn't have much trouble with either Isshin. I legitimately wouldn't be surprised if this took me at least 10 hours. Your characters have forced 1 hp, you can't use shields because they are immediately stolen, he has retardedly long attack chains with odd timings, he sometimes randomly goes multiple times in a row despite me having pure high level speed pictos with max agility and trying to have greater rush up as much as possible, and when that occurs if he killed one or two of your units he then immediately removes them from the battlefield so you can't even rez them.
It's actual dogshit. The only reason I'm still attempting it is because I was really loving the game and wanted to 100% it. But if I had known about this garbage I wouldn't have bothered. It's not even remotely fun. And when you know an attempt is over it oftentimes takes 2 fucking minutes to even get him to wipe your party which is just even more infuriating.
But Where the fuck is Clea?
Taking care of the dogs, for starters
the win 4 fights with a picto to unlock the lumina is more annoying than it makes sense
I wouldn't know I two shot him.
Parry/dodge window is fucking broken on consoles, must be due to input lag
Its not a skill issue, its a fucking mess.
I had to lower the difficulty but journo mode is way too easy since you take zero dmg
The visuals and specially the music are top notch, which is a pity since the gameplay is souring the experience
funfact: Noco is the bigger one
i missed the dog, is there no other way to see him?
How does the weapon scaling even work. The number next to the letter seems incredibly arbitrary what does that number MEAN
I have 90 might, and 30 in every other stat right now across all my characters, in the high level 60s, low 70s. Should I be respeccing or something? Like I use Medalum on Maelle should I be putting in like 90 defense?
come on nigga, even mortismal beat this fag
that's how Gustave designed his converter wcyd
Can you eat it?
they're only in that portion. names are Noco and Monoco
Makes sense, didn't noco raise monoco in the game? But now now noco dies all the time so he is the small one
All I see is yellow grass, is this Skyrim?
fagstation
eeww
The visuals and specially the music are top notch, which is a pity since the gameplay is souring the experience
game would be good if it wasn't shit
Many such cases
Beating Simon isn't actually hard at all, you can make builds that kill him without giving him turns. Doing it "legit" is the real challenge.
All that and to top it off he just erases your primary party about 70% of the way in and you have to finish the fight with the remaining party members that you may or may not have prepared at all for this fight. And his attacks are now triple per swing.
The real dogs only appear in the small Alicia section, otherwise you only see their portraits
but Monoco is meant to be one of the dogs, why do you think his theme song has BOWOWOW at the start
It means you get higher bonuses to attack power the higher the stat scaling it and the higher the corresponding stat.
It doesn't mean shit until endgame with A & S scaling anyways
Might is also absolutely useless until you max the A & S scaling stats for your chosen weapon, and even then it's garbage compared to Agility & LCK
At level 99 you'd want 99 Might, 99 in the 2 best stats that scale with your weapon but you'd only dump 99 into Might after you max the other much more useful ones
I really don't understand how you can look at this game and think it's ugly. Like literally, I don't get it. The fuck is not ugly to you
It is undeniably beautiful, but the music isn't that great and I can't shake the feeling that I'm just playing a turn based dark souls game. It's alright.
1st axon I fight dies after only getting 1 turn to attack
Am I gonna have to start holding back so I can see boss mechanics and attacks now?
Might is a meme. Scaling is pretty obvious anon, you even see the bonus they give.
They just needed to make it like Shadow Hearts.
But no, everything has to be Sekiro, even a fucking RPG
so What's Yoshi-P gonna say in the next board of directors meeting?
The man single handedly convinced Square to stop making turn based RPGs
Well, it's fun styling on bosses, or getting destroyed in the process.
Play suboptimally not giving a shit about pictos or skills beyond some basic utility
Weapons have a bigger impact than pictos, because they give character specific buffs that can completely change how they play. Pictos complement weapon choice, not the other way around. If your Maelle is using Medalim, then you didn't beat the game.
Stick to the main quest for a bit. Scaling/balancing is probably the game's biggest flaw.
which is what makes it well designed imo
can try and be maniac and hit all the triple tap parries or grind it out like a true rpg and build your team to nuke him
food for the you didn't actually beat simon memers
i love ff16, but yea, i would have love it even more if it has turn based combat. they should use that ffx-2 combat again, it was fantastic
sadly the endgame balanced is whacked.
You either 1 shot the boss, or they one-shot you.
So...ignoring Lune and her busted 4 stain nukes, who is the highest damage dealer?
Nothing because this game wouldn't have met SE's expectations either. They want games that can sell like 10 million in the first month or something.
They are still making turn based jrpgs, just not high budget ones.
Octopath traveler 2 was fucking great.
Yeah, I don't mind at all. I had some memory leak problems or something at the time and had solid thick 20 fps so I just one shot him, but figured out the problem afterwards so I'll be doing him legit in NG+.
Ignoring that one guy you can use the shield mechanic to tank just about anything
the final dungeon
Lune is unironically the shittiest party member.
"if the french want to steal JRPGs from us, we'll steal musicals from them!"
Maelle > Monoco > Verso > Sciel > Lune
Maelle kinda falls in Act 2 though when Monochad and Sciel reign surpreme, but becomes the most broken in Act 3 once you break the damage cap
sounds like you have 0 defense
Maelle completely breaks the game with Stenhald or whatever it's called.
I unlocked Maelles swimsuit and it makes me uncomfortable
What the FUCK were they thinking with that holy SHIT dude
but the music isn't that great
Good to know there are anons with good taste itt.
I'm fighting the lamp dude, am I just too old or it's hard as fuck to see his attacks?
I'm on expert, almost got it on my first try by randomly mashing dodge instead of being a parrychad
what's the goto monoco skills
i've kinda been ignoring him since i want 3 ladies in a row
She's old enough.
To all the retards bitching about dodge and parry, you don't have to. You can build your characters to want to take damage and just play it like any other turn based RPG.
There are pictos that give you bonuses on being hit.
sex
Looks worse/has worse art direction than a literal who chink game
ultimate weapons for maell, moloco and verso?
You just know if Maelle was a romance option she'd low key be the most picked one.
I don't understand people like you, are you a muslim or something?
What is the fun in one shotting him though? No effort, no skill, no rush upon defeating it.
It's an absolute bullshit fight, don't get me wrong, but still. Just seems like a waste of the boss fight to do it.
not real
never was
fuck off
kys
There are no ultimate weapons, everything levels up to 33. Some are better than others of course
Chink games are all looks and no substance
Maelle is too old to be attractive to muslims
Some are better than others of course
like?
I love that the game just lets you go into dangerous areas and nab loot and fight stuff if you feel daring enough to do so and break shit early.
Cum on the base of my sofa
I am bewildered by the high praise the music gets. Is it bad? Absolutely not, but I haven't heard anything I want to listen to on my own time.
looks like total garbage
You couldn't be more wrong. They're the only ones making hueg sandbox rpgs these days
sword stat
bade stat
exotic weapon stat
I don't understand
finish the first boss
camera moves to overworld view
get instant flashbacks to the crusade mode in WOTR
Like the one that starts Maelle in Virtuous stance, the one that bases Verso's rank on his hp (for dps Verso) or the one that gives his Perfection bonus to allies (for support Verso), and I dunno for Monoco
Should I get this or oblivion?
you can get both for $10 on gamepass
Uhh golden ending in the updated rerelease maybe?
I think I'm over leveled. I shit on the Pontiff Sulyvahn boss even though he was hitting me with like 15 hit combos they did no damage to me.
Verso feels too broken
Should I just do story missions only to avoid overleveling the story bosses?
Misses the point.
You can pirate both easily, but Todd doesn't need sequel money
Dunno, he was one-two shotting me on expert and it was a thrill.
You just know if Maelle was a romance option she'd low key be the most picked one.
Yes, but not for the reason you'd think. It'd overwhelmingly be women picking her because they all lust after hot daddies and wish they'd gotten groomed as teens.
If you have to buy, the indie studio's first work needs your money more than a remake.
They're not stats, they're passive abilities from techniques related to those weapon schools.
Verso is both hot AND has a canon huge cock.
has a canon huge cock
We don't know that for sure, that's just how he was painted
literally just persona with parry slop, chromatic abberation, and taa. it's actual shit.
Fuck me, I wish I hadn't wasted all my upgrade mats leveling up Verso's light element sword that applies burn on crits. I had no idea how prevalent light enemies would be in the final dungeon. Thankfully the devs seemed to consider cucking yourself out of dealing damage, so they gave verso a few moves that are always physical regardless of your weapon.
That guy's weapon drop, the one that lets you move again after a base attack, seems to be obscenely broken if you stack pictos that improve the base attack. I start out every turn with a bunch of free damage, a defense down debuff, an attack up buff, and also +8 AP due to the energizing attack and doubled attack pictos.
Is Sciel a slut? It feels like forever since we've had a slutty rpg companion that wasn't a dude.
sure is
Nah, she's just a widow.
I saw a chart about worldwide average cock sizes and the frogs were in the upper range with 6 inches being the average.
misses the point
Moderate escapism good, escapism to death bad? I got that. The story even makes sense in general, unlike Japanese writing. I can't even think up a plot hole. Who drew Old Lumiere btw? Verso or Aline? All humans are hers (or that one saboteur chick by Clea), right? I want my utterly happy ending tho. Give, baguette fuckers.
It was at this moment where I knew I was witnessing kino.
Bravo France. I fucking kneel
Lumiere was entirely drawn by Aline as a part of her recreating the family home (they live in Paris). That's why the fracture splits it.
I used it for a while but eventually base attack can't keep up with the multipliers on high tier skills, the weapon itself has the lowest attack bonus and you end up doing double turns anyway
tfw the absolute mindfuck that happens directly after
Should I do the final story dungeon/final boss before the all the side content/field bosses?
do the companion quests first but otherwise yes
you can just walk into high level areas
WHAT IF THO
can you make some retarded runbacks and get stupidly OP items or do they scale
if you want him to be any sort of challenge
I feel like we might be in danger of getting an expedition zero dlc, and I'd rather they were making something new. No interesting story can be told there.
It would have been even more kino to get an actual rest flag from it
why do sometimes pictos level up?
Oh, and maybe back up your saves before the final battle, game actually doesn't want you to see both endings in one playthrough.
They don't scale, you get retardedly good shit.
you got the same one at a higher level as a drop
I liked the uneasy vibe that's created immediately after defeating her. You just know something is off, something feels wrong about the whole thing. Didn't expect it to go down like that though.
I think they will have hard time deciding if they make a story heavy dlc or just save it for the a sequel and make a dlc about something like the Fracture
Because. The pictos give you the cool bonus but also buff stats.
No, stuff doesn't scale. If you kill shit you weren't supposed to you will get very OP. I don't think you can get any weapons from the ground, maybe pictos
ugly boring game made by french people?
Expedition 60 could be kino
Yeah, sure, you can loot Dark Shores. It's in the very south of the map. The skill is kind of useful, and also stats.
Anon Babble's absolute desperation to shill this game is fucking hilarious
They "level up" when you find a higher level version of it, either in the overworld of after killing a mob , it's more like they get replaced
Only DLC I'd want is a side story, maybe with a new party member. Sequel might happen, the whole Writers vs Painters thing is probably rife for potential.
Disaster Expedition*
Do I really need to start building cheese pictos because I'm on the end of Act 2 on expert and the 2 final bosses keep kicking my ass. If I don't parry or dodge every single attack I just insta lose. I pray they do the single target attack so they just kill 1 character instead of everyone. I'm getting filtered.
How are you not killing everything before the boss even gets a turn by this point?
Sounds like a bit of a skill issue or maybe you just have terrible builds
uh yeah either you make a powerful build or you parryslop everything
Someone told me to not do side content because I would overlevel so I just did story only
having more than 0 defense isn't cheesing
looks like you got bamboozled by a sweaty, hairy fromtranny
you're not OHKOing Paintress and probably not OHKOing Renoir
What do you mean having all of my pictos as 3 reds is a bad idea? I need that stronger shots!
I will NOT level defense.
I will NOT level might
I WILL play dance dance revolution
I got Simon with cheesing for speed and Maelle's broken combo. So it's SPEED that's god.
My offensive option? Parry
My defensive option? Dodge
Based
God this game is so fucking ugly. The characters look like hideous dirty hobos and the environment looks like someone smothered everything with brown shit.
dodge
Pictos to make spells parryable when?
smothered everything with brown shit
But enough about your culture.
he's in act 2
Do you mean debuffs? Magic attacks are parryable.
Does Sciel not have a proper quest? Maelle, Lune, Monoco and even Esquie have you go somewhere and fight something.
Her quest is to get dicked down by Verso
You know what, I just had a thought: Maelle can probably live out a decent lifetime as a non cripple and DC right before getting dead, but her mother is definitely cooked. Which she knows. And doesn't give a fuck about
To fuck and then kek him, you mean. Reminds me of Tigana (novel).
just finished act 1 and opened the map and the map seems huge, felt like I just finished the tutorial
It's always a nice feeling when games do this isn't it
it's pretty big, there are lots of side content, i saved most of it for the post game though
been fucking forever since a game did this, granted I don't follow modern releases most of the time
are you not destroying everything in a few turns? I'm trying to smack side bosses the moment I see them, spent like an hour getting the three orphens or whatever they are called
