The bosses in this game are just so fucking insane, each one is better than the last. The aesthetic, design, scale, spectacle, challenge, the bizarre attack, multiple phases, unique mechanics and gimmicks. Every single boss so far has just been so much fun and fairly challenging on Expert too, but without ever feeling like cheap bullshit.
This game is just running laps around other JRPGs at this point.

yoooo fire
Mimes are enemies you chase down and fight for new haircuts. They're not boss fights, you silly salty bitch.
These are optional minibosses that just exist to teach you about breaking (and give you hairstyles). You google why they aren't taking any damage and then see you have to break them to destroy their massive damage reduction shield.
The unique minibosses/bosses are far better, you can just avoid these guys if you don't care about haircuts.
What does expert actually change? I beat sirene so quickly that I killed it at the very start of its final move with my first jump parry, but I'm just playing on the standard difficulty. I might just be overleveled at around 40 since I've been doing a lot of the optional bosses.
but without ever feeling like cheap bullshit.
I see you havent met Simon yet.

You should definitely play on Expert. Even on expert, the game is still pretty easy and you rarely game over except on bosses while learning attack timing.
.webm of an earlygame fight against a miniboss where the player takes 8 years to pick their attack
Visages is so fucking nuts visually. The Mask Keeper is an absolute CHAD and the vocal themes building up to his boss theme adds so much to the already impressive visuals.
The fact that none of you can praise this game without shitting on jrpgs is making me question anything that you have to say. It’s really starting look like Expedition 33 is simply a game for people that hate jrpgs to act smug about. It could very well be better than most jrpgs, I’ll never know, you insufferable faggots have put me off from ever playing this game.
It's just pretty colors Mario and Luigi brah, not the 8th wonder
Oh sweet it's on game pass. I can play through it for just 1 dollar.
Your loss faggot, we don't care
Are webm posters the most retarded breed of Anon Babble anonymous?
Steamchartposters have them beat.
This is a good month for gamepass with E33,Blue Prince and the new Doom
People keep saying this is the best game of all time but never elaborates. Feels like a psyop astroturf. The gameplay looks ass.
You shouldn't let these niggers dictate what you play. I like jrpgs and I really liked this game. It's a genuinely good game. Don't allow the faggots here that decide to cause unnecessary wars determine what you do
What games do you like?
See wont elaborate
I'm asking what games you like.
What does expert actually change?
Enemies do more damage and the dodge/parry window has even less frames.
Youre not convincing me to buy this game by asking me what other games i like
I don't care if you buy the game or not, I'm asking what games you like and for some reason you can't answer.
There is a lot of anti-Japanese shitposting going on sure, but it does hold a basis of truth. FF had a drop in quality when it stopped being ATB/turn-based that has lasted for over two decades now, and never had a true successor of that scope.
Persona was just too different, with it's school/calendar/social link setting,and Soejima's artstyle further and further devolving into generic post-2010 anime.
The Japanese have just allowed the genre to stagnate, their suits unwilling to take risks and innovate, or allocate the kind of budgets that allowed for turn-based FF at its height.
The truth is though that E33 is an anomaly in the west as well. It's no wonder that the director is a disgruntled ex-Ubisoft dev. It would have never been greenlit by any of the large western corporations, same as it wouldn't have been greenlit by a Square Enix or Capcom.
I loved this level, and the orchestral music reminds me of nier. fun fact: if you pause the game the vocals stop but resume when you unpause. (the melody keeps going regardless)
it's FFX fused with nier along with elden ring tier surreal visuals, and the combat is persona 5 but with sekiro parry mechanics that are rewarding. it's fun. it's a traditional rpg but with good ideas and visuals/music.
As someone who's played a shit ton of jrpgs and expedition 33 it was pretty mid to me and I don't get why people glaze it so much. I think it's cause the pretentious French aesthetics and melodrama writing give people a pass to act smug about how "mature" it is cause normies can't play a game without justifying it as art for some reason.
They can't just play something like persona 5 to have fun, it has to be serious and thought provoking to be taken seriously. Letting normies into gaming was a mistakem
As someone who's played a shit ton of JRPGs, Expedition 33 was kino and the exact type of game I've been praying for from Square Enix for the past 20 years now.
They can't just play something like persona 5 to have fun
Ah, here's the problem. You're an underaged normalnigger who likes Persona 5. Let me guess, that was your first game? First anime was Attack on Titan, right?
dodge/parry window has even less frames.
The parry window is the same on normal and expert. The only thing it changes is how much damage enemies do
is in your game
wins GOTY
I like this game a lot, but every praise I see finished with "but Japanese game sucks though" is stupid.
This game is good BECAUSE it used all those tropes. The devs loved all those "cringy" anime games you are seething about. They were inspired by them. Learn to appreciate the art, nigger.
i've been playing on easy because i honestly hate this games combat. I've played other jrpgs with timed inputs and found the combat to be way more engaging. i simply can't get myself to care about how every boss fight is just a QTE check. it's also incredibly easy to just break the game and only becomes easier after you get past the damage cap. I'm just saving myself the time to experience the story quicker.
They can't just play something like persona 5
atlus games are made for sodomites.
Yeah, the game is Japanese as hell. It's filled with Final Fantasy and Dark Souls references. The DNA is pure classic JRPG. Normalniggers are retarded though, what else is new.
i beaten this guy yesterday on my first try it was so fucking satisfying
the problem is that most japanese studios are not capable of making a game like this because they are afraid of doing big budget games. squenix is only able to get away with it because of their braindead fanbase despite squenix themselves being clueless with what their fans actually want. i love jrps and found clair obscur to be good but lets be honest theres really no japanese studio around that can make a game with this kind of budget or quality anymore.
It's like the greatest game of all time with amazing setpieces and masterful soundtrack. Visuals are mindblowing and the story is like one of the greatest novels ever made turned into a video game. Playing it changed my life and I cried at all the epic little twists in the story. Absolute masterpiece of the modern times worthy to be alongside the greatest games of the past.
What games do you like?
it's sarcasm
I know. What games do you like?
Dark Souls
they literally just put two dark souls bosses in the game, it's insanely brazen.

three different warnings I have to accept
"THIS IS LIKE NOTHING YOU'VE FACED BEFORE"
walk in
Stenhald once
she dies
kino fight
did you fight simon yet?
Yeah I found him first and they didn't warn me for him.
How do you even go under the monolith?
There's a dive point near the two axon islands.
kino only can be experienced
millions play p5
all normalniggers
millions play e33
all not normalniggers
how does this work
talking about sales numbers instead of video game quality
Yep that's a normalnigger moment right there. We've got a good little golem in the thread!
I'll try to explain. You think Persona 5 is fun because you're a normalnigger who follows, not because you have any taste. If you had taste you'd know Persona 5 is trash.
yeah I'm not gonna lie, as a turn-based / JRPG fan it's actually turned me off of playing it.
and you know what, some people might even have a point that some of the major JRPG franchises have stagnated or gone downhill. but there's such an immense back-catalog of great JRPGs that I'm not really hurting for games to play.
also not really a fan of the vocals in the soundtrack that I've heard, but that's just me. the SMT V ost is way better imo, if we're comparing to modern JRPGs.
so basically your taste good my taste bad
Yeah, I have good taste in video games and you hold Persona 5 as your standard of quality because you're a normalnigger and normalniggers were introduced to the genre through Persona 5. Even if we're just talking Persona it's the worst of its series. It's simply a bad game.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAH
youtu.be
i am now convinced, thanks retard-kun
You have to break it before you can do damage. That’s the entire gimmick
there is a ton of optional and endgame content, I did the main story and i'm still finding tons of shit to do (and stuff that one shots me, cause I was only level 40 or 50)
people are shilling this game when its just a modern super mario rpg
I wish I'd gone straight for the final boss, I had no idea how quickly my damage was gonna start inflating.
It's like each boss is a different piece of art, absolute cinema
You google
Shitter
Expedition 33 is as normie as it gets.
You still don't understand that this is about game quality. You know why? Because you're a normalnigger and this is a popularity contest for you.
Super Mario RPG didn't have the best misery porn escapism aesop in vidya history.
Those swimsuits ruin the immersion in the more serious moments of the game
Are there mods with different swimsuits designs already?
if it's about game quality, then make an argument about the games quality instead of screeching about normalfags while playing an utterly normalfag game. I'm just returning your rhetoric back at you.
I haven't listened to a game's OST as much as this other than Uematsu's.
mfw some absolute nobody they found on Soundcloud styles on the entire gaming industry.
youtu.be
this looks exactly like P5 made in unreal slop
The Paintress rips reality apart
Absolute Cinema
That's what I've been doing. E33 is a good game regardless of normalniggers playing it. P5 is a bad game regardless of normalniggers playing it. E33 flows nicely, it has a ton of intersecting avenues of character customization, tons of possible builds for each character, all the characters have synergy right out of the gate that just builds up as you progress, it has good pacing and keeps the game moving from one cool segment to another.
Persona 5 spends 75% of the game time on visual novel textboxes, only has customization for one character, party synergy doesn't exist until you spend 10 hours on visual novel textboxes sucking your friend's dicks, and the dungeons are streamlined baby shit compared to everything else that came in its own franchise before it. Persona 5 is a bad game but underaged normalniggers like you hold it up as a the holy grail because it was your first JRPG and you have no fucking clue what makes a good JRPG.
P5 doesn't have
dodge/parry system
unique resources and mechanics for every single character
lumina system and weapon traits
P5 has the same stagnated rock/paper/scissors + status effects combat formula that turn-based JRPGs have used for over two decades, barely any innovation since FF X in 2001. Lost Odyssey tried but was wasted on the wrong system with a lackluster world, characters and story.
Expedition 33 is simply a game for people that hate jrpgs to act smug about
Pretty much this. It's basically just YIIK with a higher budget.
I don't know why but I thought it was pretty funny when the boss hunched over to look at Verso and all she received was this extremely angry scowl like "nothing here bitch"
You mean Super Mario RPG?
Why isn't anyone posting webms of the engaging gameplay and combat?
thank you maelle now please get out of 4canvas and touch grass
Don't be an idiot. It's still a static combat system that doesn't benefit from emergent gameplay that comes from full 3D combat systems, thus there's no reason for people to make webms of their hype clutch moment or fails.
Shilling budget too low.
The gameplay is engaging to play, not to watch. Get off twitch, zoomgroid.
Yeah I don’t get that either
Game is great though
Why do you have a webm of some slow and indecisive fuck who doesn't know how to play?
It's not far from posting the cuphead tutorial to pretend like platforming inherently sucks conceptually.
For me, it's while playing I can *see* the FF6 remake Square Enix should be working on. Flying around Esquie feels just like how flying around the WoR should feel, every character has unique mechanics that makes you care who should be in your party, shitloads of optional content and still turn based instead of action slop
Super Mario RPG was made by Nintendo and Square tho.
Persona 5 is a pinnacle of the genre and a towering accomplishment of both gameplay and artistic stylization. The fact that an unaccomplished, useless armchair critic like you doesn't like it does not change the fact that it is a masterpiece. If you had a single creative bone in that flabby, hate filled body of yours you'd praise the people that created something so amazing instead of festering in your convoluted delusions like the bitter, jaded failure that you are.
You project your inadequate mindset and insecurities on others accomplishments for you lack any of your own. You're a sad, pathetic excuse of a human being and I'm glad your life will be filled with bitter resentment until your unremarkable death.
Persona 5 is a pinnacle of the genre and a towering accomplishment of both gameplay
Holy shit this is what underaged normalniggers actually believe. Play a real SMT game before opening your mouth again you retarded faggot.
find it odd that Lune of all people is the one most allured by Sirene
turns out Sirene was the one being baited
Lune is too perfect
i had this same experience, and after unexpectedly taking a while to beat simon earlier.
no game should let you do >56,000,000 damage in one hit. something has gone wrong if that's possible.
I mean, Simon is really the only one who is pure unadultered bullshit.
Too lazy to webm it but this is one of the coolest-looking fight (but quite an easy one): youtu.be
The dude playing is supposedly a famous Senior player or whatever.
Your hubris is a sign of your deep inner resentment, you are a small pathetic man and no amount of half hearted posturing on the Internet will save you from yourself. Try to create something of your own instead of criticizing the work of others you pathetic cretin. May God have mercy on your wretched soul.
more like DEI slop flop of the year
QTE
QTE

QTE
hubris
You are misusing that term.
*opens video*
*hears *nglish voices*
*closes video*
objectively a massive success
eeerm actually it flopped
Super Mario RPG do be like that
is in your game
is a GOTY game
how does she do it?
Persona 5 is a pinnacle of the genre
Persona 4 is better
He said bosses and you didnt play the game
No one gives a fuck faggot
I love JRPGs and I love E33 too. I'd love for the former to take inspiration from the latter in terms of making every playable character unique, with a different playstyle.
