They can't. Which is why it upsets so many insecure types.
This.
I'll try again in this thread. Renoir has basically Son Goku levels of speed and damage when the expedition first encounters him. It's his goal to maintain the status quo for his personal reasons. How is it even remotely possible that he doesn't kill every single expeditioner right then and there?
inb4 'but there'd be no gaym!' that's why I dropped it, so I'd like an explanation for this plot armor nonsense
There is none to be had.
parryslop
Have you beaten the game? They specifically address that.
Verso jumps in to save Maelle, causing Renoir to take notice of her. He then fucks off with things half finished to reevaluate how he wants to handle her.
The bigger question is how Gustave ended up where he wakes up and why all the bodies were moved to that cave where he is about to kill himself when Lune finds him, as far as I'm aware that's never really talked about.
This
Can't impregnate Lune
umm... did you beat the game anon? you didn't choose the wrong ending, did you?
ESL shill
The gameplay is fucking terrible.
The cast is boring and everyone looks the same.
The animations are terrible for a game that depends on reading animations.
Only deaths are from the game cheating by giving the opponent 6 turns in a row or something similar...
Boring predictable story,
etc
Play more video games, OP.
Have you beaten the game?
I specifically said I didn't
deus ex machina shit that's not shown until hours later
pseud garbage writing to string the player along then. 0 regrets pirating and dumping it then. thanks anon
Also, boring voice acting. Stop fucking hiring Clive, he has no range.
Ugly pinoy girl
How did you ever deal with the intro where everyone a certain age dies for no readily apparent reason?
It's his goal to maintain the status quo for his personal reasons
it's not though... also if he hurt alicia there mommy and daddy would have given him a fate much worse than being erased
Off the top of my headarino
Lipsynching is rough
Romance options don’t really make sense
They kinda just throw the endgame content at you with no explanation as to what to do first
Maelle’s sidequest should have been incorporated into the main story as it completely changes her and Verso’s dynamic in a really compelling fashion and sets up the ending well
The fanbase. Its the Rick and Morty of RPGs.
people like game?
its shit!!!!
A pity reply for you.
no lune ss content yet
Anon Babble likes it
Terrible parry timing indicators and totally not consistent at all. Considering how that's the ideal way to play this game, I'm surprised no one in QA ever pointed out how bad the system was.
I can think of 3, spoiler warning
Gustave is killed by what at the time is an anime villain
Theres no epilogue scene with Gustave talking to Maelle
You cant play as Gustave post ending
Skill issue
He enjoyed doing a bunch of shitty attacks to charge up his one good attack
"For those who come after" is such a tough line that thr VA totally fucked up on overcharge everytime I listened to it the shit sounded like the most limp dick delivery ever. I'm glad Gustave died nigger was useless I wouldn't have saved him either Verstacies stay winning
no sex scenes with maelle
The areas and maps are too big and confusing. The lack of a local area map is a huge pain in the ass and makes me not want to revisit areas.
Once you play it all other jrpgs can no longer compare
score: 7/10
pros:
music is a solid 10/10
the story's themes are well woven into the whole game from start to finish
the cutscenes & dialogue are really good in explaining the plot without being repetitive or overconvoluted; every dialogue makes sense when you know what is actually going on
the art design is whimsical & dark at once, perfectly fitting the tone of the story
beautiful vistas (I loved the little fixed camera locations)
VA is really good & the little expressions in character's faces in crucial scenes are on point
battle system makes combat really engaging & exciting
build variety with many different weapons, pictos, luminas & skills
QTEs can be turned off
boss fights are spectacular
interesting story that keeps the player intrigued
diorama overworld
many outfits & hair styles
actually adult cast of characters (besides maelle)
fair priced
cons:
many technical issues: frame drops, game crashes, characters constantly getting stuck on terrain
UI is atrocious & navigating the menues is a pain in the ass
no presets for characters available, you always have to change everything manually if you want to change your build; this is inexcusable
turn-based sekiro combat system
difficulty is ridiculously unbalanced the whole game through
difficulties don't change parry windows enough
no way to play without parry/dodge (the endgame pictos which would make such a build possible are not available at the start of the game)
too many souls-elements like why tf can you only upgrade in camps?
characters besides the main characters (the family & their pets) are all underused & lack any depth; funny how so many people praise this game being better than JRPGs with their tropes, while having the same trope characters but without the payoffs
game becomes a chore by the end due to it's combat system
dungeons are hard to navigate because everything looks too samey & it's easy to get lost
gestral beaches
platforming in a game that is not made for it
play it
The parry timing is fine, some enemies just like to fake you out on when you need press the button
The paintress is too hard and forsen has been stuck on her for like 6 hours
Can't sleep with Maelle.
Honestly it's a good game.

It doesnt run well. Spare me how youve got it running "great" at 60fps on medium settings

Let's be real, you watched the intro on youtube zoomzoom.
He said a flaw, not things it does very well.
DEI slop with every character being an ugly shitskin.
Horrible looking, piece of shit game. I still can't believe that this is real. Looks like an AI generated, fake ad.
I can't tell if these are just general purpose bot posts, mindbroken pajeets, or people too lazy to even shitpost properly

ugly shitskin
india didn't send their best today
4 niggas in a row
It's boring and ugly. Also it's overrated by annoying faggots which makes it inherently unappealing
you sound like a game journalist
Melodramatic cringe for women and negative test ""males""
there's no minimap
there's no quest tracker
parrying is too hard
i don't understand the story
I love theee threads because you can immediately see who's a sub-80 IQ zoomergroid that only plays Fortnite and mobileslop by their hilariously retarded complaints. The zoomer generation is so brown they are unironically too stupid to figure out 4 niggas in a row.
How much French gov is paying you to promote this garbage?
Even Macron praises this propaganda slop, why is he suddenly so interested in games. Just a coincidence, right? It's totally not a gov sponsored propaganda.
And what are you talking about, what Indians? Characters in this garbage are an ugly mix of poogers and middle eastern shitskins.
don't post garbage with becky again, nigger
It's the truth though
Saar, do not redeem!
tfw started playing it before the game was cool
tfw still only 10 hours in because wagie cage
tfw everyone is already screaming spoilers
yamero...
Characters in this garbage are an ugly mix of poogers and middle eastern shitskins.
surely you can name one, right?
They ruined the turn based combat by making it reliant on real time inputs. Essentially making it a really bad action game

HAHAHAHAHA
It's the music that gets me. Don't get me wrong, the music is good, but when some of the songs play during the more dramatic scenes, it pushes them into feeling more melodramatic than probably intended
Every single one of them is a Semitic looking, brown shitskin. Are you blind? There are no whites in this game.
bros.. our response??
why, more Anon Babblebrown seething and coping like this thread thread, of course!
Legend of Dragoon bros…?
concession accepted
Semitic facial features
Light brown, shit colored skin
Pubic bush instead of hair, like on race-mixed zoomers
Shills, is this a white man?
No, he's French.
I think it's the browns of Anon Babble unironically gaslighting themselves into thinking they look that white irl as a way to cope with being a subhuman third worlder.
i may be a brazilian quadroon but i have an italian last name so that means i'm white!!
Frenchies are white, this is a shitskin migrant.
Is pic related white?
Light brown, shit colored skin
this nigga thinks white people are literally white
nobody asked
Frenchies are white
Shalom
Why is Clair obscure?
I don't need to play a game to have an opinion on it.
The world and characters are uninteresting
Considering Turks are all Anatolian Greeks in denial, probably.
you can't fuck maelle
She's 16.
out of 10
Not my problem that you are a shitskin, living in a race mixed craphole, "nigga".
Turks are as Greek as middle-eastern subhumans are Assyrian.
Which is legal in France and Lumiere.
I am talking about ME
Turks are as Greek as middle-eastern subhumans are Assyrian.
Imagine not knowing basic history.
Boobs too small, french, can't romance maelle, robert pattinson is only playable in act 1.
Not my problem that you are a shitskin, living in a race mixed craphole, "nigga".
I live in Poland tho
NTA but
if you define Anatolian as Greek because Anatolia was Hellenized for thousands of years, then Turks are mixed islamicized Greeks
if you don't want to call Anatolians Greek, then modern Greeks in Greece and Turks in Turkey share Anatolian ancestry
This is the most French face I've seen in my life, genuinely prompting an AI to shit you out the most French Frenchman possible.
Did you fall for the retard online memes that French are "Germanic Scandinavian"?
Keep lecturing Europeans over who is and isn't white, Jamal Hernandes
You should honeslty know to avoid Anon Babble if you care about spoilers. You only have yourself to blame.
7/10 game with good combat.
This is what google gives me when I search "French man". Are we re-writing history now?
Verso jumps in to save Maelle
AHA, i knew i noticed a streak of white hair stop & pick someone up when renoir was going full madara on the expedition. glad i got it right. still in act 1 btw.
thread devolves into browns arguing over which of them are honorary whites
I just beat it two days ago
Unironiclaly a 9.5 but here are my flaws
main story too small, if you think of it in zones it's only like 7 zones (blue first, underwater, red forest, cliffs, train (barely counts), lumiere, Axions, Monlith, Lumiere)
Feel like I missed the middle of the game between Gustave dying and going to old lumiere lol it alike going to zanarkand after luca; needed 20 more hours to hit right
enemy reuse - it's honestly fine but I wish there was more variety instead of it
Gustave while a good character give some the Near / Nia vibes of immediately replacing fan favorite character. Ends up feeling like a 0.5 version in a lot of ways
maelle is not my wife
No, it's not.
Yahtzee approves.
8.5 for me, but I agree with your things and would add that I dislike the content dump at the end of the game when you literally have one more boss to go in the story and already 1 shot him as it is probably.
Meant Verso replacing Gustave, not Gustave himself
This is proof of its quality as he hates JRPGs.
I mean I think you have go be pretty retarded if you go do side content and then turn around and cry the end is easy. I did the ending immediately once getting control in act 3 and then did side sfuff after and it was kino. Also I loved the massive lore dump personally.
you already one shot him as it is unless you're terrible at the game.
As a general concept, the story is fine. The father and mother dealt with grief of losing two children and one scarred, and they turn to painting to cope and re-experience those memories by creating them in this fictional world. The mother becomes absorbed in the painting at the expense of the real world, Renoir wants to stop the madness before both she and Alicia (real-world variant) are consumed and lost in the real world too. Verso wants to sacrifice himself to save his sister because that's why he died in the first place, he recognizes this world as fake. Maelle wants to save the painted world, because even though it's fake, there are real emotions and connections here that she feels much stronger than the real world, and she doesn't want all that to go to waste.
The issue is when you start going deeper into the specifics and you realize everything is just handwaved bullshit
Like why didn't the paintress make any attempt to communicate with the people of Lumiere through the Monolith text that she isn't their enemy and that real Renoir is the one responsible for the gommage, and she is just reducing the damage he can do? You would think with 67 years of expeditions sent to destroy her due to a misunderstanding that she would try to communicate with them in some way? Especially considering Maelle (who is much weaker) literally paints her own message on the Monolith during the camp scene.
Everything after act 1
bro, she's barely sentient.
gameplay
I felt it was fun. Made me want to get into more fights to do it more. I was worried the parry QTE stuff was going to be annoying but its actually extremely satisfying.
no presets for characters available
There isnt a single rpg alive that has preset classes are you retarded?
difficulties don't change parry windows enough
its high risk high reward, you can still dodge.
Melodramatic
Theres no way someone who posts anime would be able to use that word here accurately. Anime is the most melodramatic media out there.
n immediately see who's a sub-80 IQ zoomergr
Once i found out the parry window is smaller than sekiro i realized the demographic of usual mouth breathers who play turn based or shooters cant handle it.
Semitic
Schizo.
There isnt a single rpg alive that has preset classes are you retarded?
no, you are. I meant presets for pictos, luminas, skills and weapon. many JRPGs have this, you filthy faggot
that fight you have to parry/dodge 150 times and just survive to win
Harder and more satisfying to win than any WEAPON in FF7
It's nonsensical how Renoir is doing the Gommage, yet the Paintress conveniently perfectly redirects it to target only this one exact specific age group and only once a year. It's still never explained why or how this works. Or why she doesn't write anything to communicate with Lumiere on the monolith. Or why she doesn't just have painted Renoir tell the expeditioners she is on their side instead of just murdering them and angering/inspiring them further.
The best interpretation is that real Renoir/Paintress don't hate each other, he just wants her out of the painting. Her power is much stronger, so he weakens in a slow and predictable way, weaning her out. And that Painted Renoir wasn't created to protect her, but just as part of her painted family and he blindly protects the paintress out of love from being her husband, rather than being created specifically to protect her, or being rational enough to try to talk to the expeditioners to explain it.
Now, why real Renoir doesn't deliberately target members of her family, or at least even anyone close to them doesn't really make sense. Why killing thousands indiscriminately takes less power than a couple specific targets also makes no sense.
On the other hand, if you say he has no power over targets whatsoever and Aline 100% redirects them exactly to her choosing, then why does she make zero effort to save those Maelle and Verso love from the gommage? She only and exclusively kills that age group regardless of how it affects her painted children.
The whole story is full of holes
It's still never explained why or how this works
Renoir tries to delete all of her creations (humans)
she can't stop him fully, but can protect all her newest ones, so only the oldest are removed
she weakens as time goes by
this is explained by Clea very obviously at the end of Act 2
and since you were so retarded in the very first line I don't think I need to bother with the rest of your retardation
inb4 'baww this fictional thing doesn't work like I want it to! Plot hole! Bawwwww'
I don't need to play a game to have an opinion on it.
Based Anon Babble shitposter.
So Renoir can gommage thousands of randoms instead of the few that actually matter like Maelle/Verso's close friends..
Yeah ok lol
Yes, they are not the oldest creations at the time. This is not rocket science, retard.
wowzers, there is a lot to unpack here folks. okay ya’ll, let’s do this.
unreal engine slop
shit unbearable writing by woman and french faggots
zero balancing in combat making even the most of busted jrpgs seem like a much better system
unreal engine blurry slop
gay characters and dialogue
the zone exploration becomes extremely mundane by the time you reach act 2, the story while pretty well written also falls apart in act 3 because it's FF13 open zone all over again, lacks charming little towns/hubs like gestral village and the ice station, pretty much every little bit of area you unlock in act 3 is also retardedly overpowered and you need to AT THE VERY LEAST have 9999 dmg cap removed to even attempt most of them.
The camp character interactions while well written, are some of the simplest most shoehorned in (probably yoinked from bg3 last minute) and fail-safe i've seen in such a game.
UI is dogshit and lumina/picto management is abysmal.
I do like the story and the combat and the fact that you can break it quite easily a lot of fun, but the game is the strongest 8-9/10 AA title I've played in years, but I don't see how it can be GOTY to anyone lmao, it's just so far from a 10.
Add more flaws I missed if you relate to most of what I said.
faggot brown post
LOL
anon, I…
cast is all white French people, 1 gypsy, and an Asian
black people live in France and have for a long time now
this triggers Pablo who spends his time crying about race on Anon Babble as he LARPs about not being a brownoid
also cries about games he has no played
well burrito burrito to you too Pablo!
Anon Babble browns seething - you love to see it. More like Chad Obscur - Chadition 33
I’ll remain ignorant to the propaganda slop no matter how much faggots rub it on my face
okay.
types like an ESL bot trained on Anon Babble
LOL
your game was written by woman and faggots. I don’t see how me being esl or not has any relevance to this. but okay man, you do what you must to cope.
woman does a better job than his beloved AAA shitpiles - seethes
imagines the men are gay because he wants to fuck them because he's a faggot (who is also brown)
seethes on Anon Babble over a game he didn't play (he plays no video games btw)
LOL imagine being you
I unlocked the 5th character, is he any good? I hardly see a reason to swap to a 4th character now I have 2 in the bench collecting dust
feels good being me, a chad who sees a faggot story written by faggots for what it is.
there is nothing that you can say, there
is no name or label that you can call me
which would be more embarrassing than defending this faggot game with
its faggot story.
shit is ridiculously gay. truly unbearable.
Blue magic is always cool and there are no bad characters. Use whoever you like.
he's the most versatile character in the game, extremely easy to make pop off in late act 2/early act 3 but doesn't reach hypercarry heights like most others.
..f..feels..g..good.
LOL
They made Aline look old
the fact that this game makes you seethe and shit yourself so hard makes it a few percentage points better
first I was brown now I am mad? what next faggots? going to call me a jeet for
calling out this faggot game for what it
is.
no wonder you niggers like this game, being this absurdly dim witted and all.
He is extremely versatile and has some really busted skills.
His problem is mostly that he's very reliant on his Masks so he can't quite as easily pop off every turn until you get to the late game as some other characters. Doesn't mean he's worse though, like I said, some of his skills are insanely good - especially for a more support orientated role.
so the ability to break certain rocks is side content? just unlocked it randomly
your game was written by woman and faggots.
Yes, and?
there is an area called frozen hearts... will this place overlevel me?
would have been better if the devs didn't make one clearly "good" and one clearly "bad" ending. both should have been ambiguously bitter sweet
no, you are. I meant presets for pictos
Why would there be presets to how to build different play styles? that doesnt even make sense.
any futa porn yet?
have verso bang sciel because why not
realized i locked myself out of lune romance
i'm 25 hours in so i'm not restarting, i guess i always have a 2nd playthough
verso doesn't deserve to bang either of them the evil fucker
Based and unbothered. It’s always hilarious how mad they get when a story actually tries something outside their 2007 edgelord power fantasy bubble. Game made them feel something and now they’re lashing out like toddlers.
The romances are very tame and barely explored anyway. I'm pretty sure everything will be the same but Lune will have like two extra lines of being flirty.
Please tell me that Lune doesn't die.
she lives in the good ending
I have terrible reaction time. Took me like 10 tries to kill first "boss".
Even if you have good reaction time some of the animations are just really annoying to get the timing of.
Still not finished. Don't want to be at all. Level 74. Busting up Contortioniste's in Renoir's Drafts now. Still feel like there's so much I don't know and want to know about what's going on. Music continues to astonish. Art design continues to astonish. Gameplay satisfaction continues to deliver. 80 hours in.
This is the greatest JRPG of our generation folks. And it's not fuckin Japanese.
act 2
well now I know why Gustave's weapons had no special abilities...
was ready to call it quits after gestral village, thought i got baited hard with this game so i ragespoiled myself the story but now i conversely kinda wanna keep playing even though i still feel like im in an elaborate ue5 hallway simulator
She was never alive in the first place so no.
Maelle's game sold 2 million, even with the gamepass. It's literally that easy, All you need is an attractive hebe girl on the promo. How long until Stockholders of vidya companies realize this?
Yes. Just go straight to old Lumiere.
In the prologue if you interact with the door which has the couple that are boning behind it enough times the woman tells you that you've been listening long enough and that it was exciting at first but has gotten awkward and gives you a lumina point to get you to fuck off
Game of the year
It's because they're delayed on purpose to mess with you.
This truly is the Dark Souls of turn based RPGs.
Yeah that's my major beef with the story, it's as convoluted as the worse jrpg, especialy the "real world's magic" rules which are barely explained and sound retarded anyway.
They should have pulled a third layer to the endings where you have a final scene maybe after credits showing Aline or Alicia painting on the walls of a mental asylum, implying nothing was real about the Painters powers and she was just crazy from grief.
That would have been uber misery kino.
Damn, just did 2 fights and got like 4 levels, was at level 33 before...
the game hints at casino minigames multiple times
you can't enter
shitty anti escapist message makes it kind of tone deaf at a lot moments
The mom is fucking crazy bro. She even said "i am not crazy" which All the crazy people say.
What are the odds that the sequel to this game becomes woke like what happened to Kingdom Come? The nigger NPCs at the start already feel like they were a last minute addition to appease the woke mafia that most likely started hounding this game after it announced.
I don't want another game I like to die because of jews and niggers
I just find it a really tiring mechanic that doesn't fit well with turn based. I like to play these games relaxed and methodical. To me this game is like hooking up with a 10/10 and finding she has a prolapsed anus (another genre you weren't looking for that's leaking into the good stuff)
anti escapism ending
not on my watch
gameplay
The moment the devs open an official discord, the fanbase becomes trannycore and it's over
at least you get a costume for your trouble
I cant. Putting barefoot asian women in your game.... as a white man I literally cant bring myself to criticise it. Its a dream come true.
My canon ending is I get an immortal Lune that I impregnate repeatedly till the end of time.
Just say you're a faggot and move on.
It's not really anti-escapist, it's not very anti-anything in my opinion. All the characters, even Verso and Renoir, say they understand how beautiful and good the paintings are, how the life in them does have value. The problem is with Maelle herself, who wants to preserve the canvas for her personal happiness, not just because the life and wonder within them deserves to exist. The message behind her ending is basically "Don't act like you can play god and think you will get away with it". Everyone in the painting (except Verso obviously) is happy and cheerful, but Maelle looks stressed and worried, because she knows she is doing something wrong to herself by living in there.
this retard is still going at it
lol
lmao even
Fucking clinically retarded faggot.
You have to backtrack to the gestral village immediately after the nest to complete the Keratom quest. If you go to the next dungeon, you get locked out of it because keratom only speaks with Gustave. The nest is literally 5 minute long and stone cliffs is right besides it. You miss out on a quest because a character dies out of nowhere. I hate forced replayability. Also the volley mini game. You cant turn frontward if the character is touching the edge of the square
She never lived and never will.
imo the only real flaw is the level/environment design. seeing copypasted default assets all over the place kind of takes you out of it when exploring, and the level design itself also gets fairly repetitive/formulaic - a lot of the hidden overworld stuff should've been integrated into the actual levels imo, would make it much more interesting
Sell me on this game. I've watched videos of the gameplay. I've seen screenshots. I've seen the rave reviews, but it just doesn't seem to click with me and I don't have any interest in playing it.
Those work in his favor you fucking troglodyte.
And he doesn't have a beef against the paintings of Verso (i.e., Monoco, Gestrals, Grandis and Esquie), he only Gommages Alines creations.
He's also not strong enough to Gommage the immortals.
You really should play the game again and this time pay some modicum of attention before you keep making a fool out of yourself in every other thread about this game.
Ok, then don't bother. Did you really need me to tell you that?
I just read the synopsis... i turn 33 this year. So i guess i have to play this game. Pirating now.
what did he mean by this?
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
youtu.be
no way to play without parry/dodge (the endgame pictos which would make such a build possible are not available at the start of the game)
What if they let you choose if you want to parry or tank/evade based on speed at the start of the attack? If you choose to parry but miss, you take damage as it already is which is basically one shot on expert. If you choose traditional, you take about 50% less damage. You can then fully play as traditional four niggas in a row or even mix it up
If your life sucks major balls there is nothing wrong with wanting to live in a world where you are not a disfigured leatherface
I became 33 at the day of release lol
UE5slop SMRPG
kino

There is also nothing wrong with enslaving the remnants of your dead brother's soul and the copy your mom made of him
Painting plot made the game pointless.
No my hecking characters real
they are not.
enslaving the remnants of your dead brother's soul
I still don't really get how the fading boy works, it acts like as long as the canvas exists it has to paint so what every time the paint a canvas the trap a piece of their soul their to be stuck painting for eternity? Like I thought it was supposed to be the Paintress and Renoir that were doing all the painting fighting over the canvas. Anyone him being stuck there still doesn't justify genocide.
they are not.
Is media literacy this dead, did you miss painted Renoir's whole lecture to Verso about how he would be taking away their memories, their dreams, their love for each other. Those are things you need a soul to have. Not mention Verso was constantly going against his creators wishes all for his goal of suicide. Being so depressed and suicidal requires a soul.
mere simulations. They are paint and can be destroyed and created again.
The fading boy represents the canvas itself, as in its creator pouring a piece of his soul into his creation. It loves the paintings and all the living things in them, even those made by others (except Clea and her fucked up abominations), and wishes for them to be treated well. But he is also tired of painting because his canvas has been used as a battleground to settle a family dispute, causing the fracture and destroying the beautiful things in the paintings. By the end, the boy is conflicted and doesn't know if he should keep painting, which is what makes it possible for Verso to destroy the canvas if he wins.
You think you're smart but realistically all people like you do is show people like me how lucky we are to be more intelligent than this. You're at surface level reasoning thinking you're big brain. Maybe go play nier or silent hill or something for babbs intro to basic high school philosophy and then come back here lil guppie
youtu.be
combat sucks
menus are trash
persona ripoff except worse
depressing French artsy bullshit
decent story
Watch a real review
Is the Dualiso worth keeping on Verso and spending chroma to upgrade it? I'm currently up to just having defeated the Mask Keeper and basically left this thing glued to his hand ever since I got it.
QTEs
I'm not going to cry over fake people. I've already deleted the game after beating it. I guess that means I killed them all.
Hylic moment
talks about testosterone
posts girl cartoons
This story filters so many retards it's hilarious.
Its a bad story. Good writing but a bad plot.
Obviously older people are easier to gommage but targeting Maelle/verso's friends surely is easier than thousands of randoms.
The whole purpose is to get aline out of the painting, which can be achieved by making her children (the only reason she's there) as miserable as possible by gommaging their friends
Also painting people invincible is just nonsense. Sure, they could require more chroma to erase but invincible just makes zero sense.
And I call bullshit Renoir can delete thousands of randoms but makes zero attempts to gommage specific key people
why is lipsync a problem in 2025
do I have to wait years for them to make a fix patch?
It's not the best plot ever but it's very serviceable. More importantly there are very few wormholes if you don't speedrun and find much of the lore of act 3.
It's probably on purpose because all old rpg cgi was like this. Whether you like it or not. It literally shouldn't even bother you. Are you ocd?
Just got to act 3, what's a non-retarded build for Maelle atm? The Stendhal skill and the Medalum sword are bugged, so I won't be using them. Is Chalium + Sword Ballet okay? Verso is doing the AP battery thing, so AP is of no concern. The third one is Lune doing Lightning Dance and Hell into Elemental Genesis etc.
I used it with tons of AP boosts for turn and base attacks and every turn I could give my trap AP after 7 + shots or use a 9-chroma Vergil sword
It's a JRPG
I don't like how Act 3 starts with Maelle convincing Verso that he was wrong to help destroy the world and her telling him he's real and then at the end after everything he just changes his mind again and just goes nah none of these people count for shit and I just want to die. Verso is not a well written character
Verso has been suicidal ever since he was introduced.
Gestral
It's pointless once you get the Cheater picto, but amazing before that. Energizing Attack + Combo Attack lets Verso get 4AP for free each turn, then he would shoot once or twice to rank up, then use Leadership to give everyone else +5AP, so that they can spam their best skills each turn with impunity.
SO far that's more less how I've been doing it. Stacking him with Combo and base attack/free aim boosters, shooting myself down to 4 AP, attacking, then on my next turn I have 9 AP I use whatever skill I need to..or just another base attack. With the lifesteal picto he's also pretty self-sustainable. Might just start turning him into a base attack/burn bot to boost Maelle's damage.
I'm aware of Cheater so I might pick that up sometime, but I know it's also very pricy. It probably has good stats though, I'll see once I'm able to actually take out Sprong.
Medalum isn't bugged, it's just Stendhal. It has a x25 multiplier instead of x2.5.
Even without Stendhal she can still oneshot most enemy packs in the game with Phantom Flurry, but she can no longer oneshot superbosses.
I know retard but during Act 3 except the very end he was working with Maelle fighting to save/restore the world and then at the last fuck minute goes nah I changed my mind. There is that dumbed down enough for you.
This. After act 1, all previous expeditions and lore of Lumiere basically become irrelevant. Everything is fake and it's literally just family drama.
I paint.
Agreed and the worst part is his ending is the "good" one
Medalum isn't bugged
Medalum is bugged once you upgraded it to LV20, it doubles VIrtuose damage instead of the burn damage, so you get 6x purple stance damage instead of 3x, this means it outdamages all of Maelle's other swords, no matter the scaling. It's retarded.
docs.google.com
steamcommunity.com
I care about lipsync because the game puts people who speak on the screen
he was working with Maelle fighting to save/restore the world
have you missed the part he was portrayed as piece of shit hypocrite/liar the whole time? did you miss the Visages part?
he only used Maelle to get to the RealVerso's soul.
"haha just don't be suicidal anymore"
"oh okay"
you are so retarded
verso is broken and a century old and has done this same thing year after year after year and justtkilled hisom and dad in universe for "Maelle"
Yes it is. It does 400x instead of 200x, and on all attacks instead of burning.
you DID NOT beat the game if you used either
Wish we would remove voices due to retards like you then. Filter you even harder by making you read more than 4xhan posts
have you missed the part he was portrayed as piece of shit hypocrite/liar the whole time?
are you complete retards he was fighting against renoir tell me how anything he did during act 3 before the very very end helped him achieve his goals
it's kinda boring. the world being a mishmash mess of particle-dense surrealist art makes me feel like i'm wandering around an iSpy book fighting wooden dolls. i get all of it from a thematic POV but it makes the world lack a certain sense of place. i don't feel anything about the nevrons; not fear, not hate, just total neutrality. they don't appear to feel anything either. the combat system is great fun but the world isn't doing it for me.
They start us as Gustave and introduce the hook of the game as saving the people of lunimaire, but it sort of feels like the game forgot this in act 3 and we’re supposed to be caring about the fate of Alicia over the wellbeing of all others. And Alicia isn’t even Maelle as far as I’m concerned, Maelle got gommaged with everyone else. Coming back as “both” is not coming back as Maelle. She’s a totally different person now.
Idk, I still love the game, I think both endings are cool and thought provoking, but I don’t like how our concerns for luminaire were swept aside and given less importance that the fate of this world’s demigods. I get that lots of rpgs have a hard shift in focus 1/2 way though, but this one just leaves me a bit cold.
Not my job to play the game for you. Perhaps play it without a bong next to you next time so you can remember what you play.
You can just admit you were wrong you know instead of embarrassing yourself further with half assed replies like this
man this really clairs my obscur
Monoco was my buff/debuff/shield bot for my murder machines sciel/maelle.
I love the gamepass reviews by people who would never touch this game unless it was dumped in their lap for free, and then only try it so they can say “achsually yes I did play it” in 4chins arguments. Go back to rivals.
I think the best thing about it is that it'll cuck milds out of GotY.
Balance curve is completely fucked in act 3, but even earlier cause you hit 9999 too early.
UI of pictos/lumina sucks ass
Most weapons are shit
Not really that many useful skills
You must be deaf.
animations were pretty good overall but there were a lot of times where they had dead eyes not looking at anything. Not as in lost in thought but just not animated.
How in the world could anyone be stuck there? Did he spend half the game sprinting past encounters and missing pictos?
platforming in a game that is not made for it
This. For fuck's sake stop doing platforming in a game that is not made around it. In that they manage to recreate de dark souls experience.
For the rest of the cons, did you read/watched anything about the game before playing it?
It never fails to impress how people on Anon Babble blame the game for them being bad.
she chromed on my luminas till I pict
what skills do you use as Monoco?
do you keep him as a dps or support?
lol it wasn't winning goty regardless. it was clearly a "this is the best game i've played this year in Q1" release
He can do both, but the support skill I like are the Heavy one that gives shields. The problem if you want 2 DPS 1 support is Sciel is by far the better support.
the whiplash on this game in a year or two is going to be just as fulfilling as seeing rebirth lose goty
you already one shot him as it is unless you *don’t use a maelle meme build and stendahl every attack*
Try not immediately jumping on the most broken move in an rpg in years and acting like you’re some bigshot skilled player.
Expedition 60 learned that the paintress wasn’t the real enemy, but none of the expeditions actually confronted her or tried to communicate. She probably had no idea they were even trying to get to her, her brain is basically broken anyway. So she did what she what she could and that was good enough. And what do you expect a god of the world to do anyway, send them a huge wiki explaining all the details? When has a story with a giant powerful force of nature ever operated in such a way? You’re asking why she couldn’t, but you’re not writing a compelling narrative to replace it.
It's still never explained why or how this works.
Stopped reading here. Stop sprinting to check points and skipping cutsceens, zoomer. Pay attention.
Break Point
Kek good post.
What levels should my party roughly be for the final boss to not be a pushover? I'm still getting demolished by the Noire enemies in the Dark Shore so I assume I'm not overlevelled yet. My party is all around level 50 currently
Lvl 50 with lvl 19/20 weapon is 100% fine to finish the game.
You should go straight to it, or you'll quickly outscale it.
I don't get how the people of Lumiere unanimously came to the conclusion the paintress is the one causing the gommage like If I see someone painting a countdown every year the day people die or any countdown really I'm going to assume it's a fucking warning. Like really nobody ever thought that paintress might not be responsible for the gommage.
they were a last minute addition to appease the woke mafia
They had to be. One male and one female model that look like they just dragged and dropped them around the white people already there. In Maelle’s resurrected Luminaire there are no blacks to be seen.
I really dislike the black male npc, his manner of expression is extremely aggressive compared to every other npc. It doesn’t fit. Should have been much more subdued like everyone else. None are wearing a flower necklace either, except one unique black npc, which would have been enough.
Verso is not black
no manual saving
no picto/lumina loadouts
that's about it
you forgot esquie's nest and the battlefield but yeah
I love her
Ah, another soulless poster.
This but unironically.
the French lady doesn't yell at me enough
youtu.be
AHHHH I HAVE TO SEE A NIGNOG FOR 5 MINUTES IN THE INTRO IN A 60 HOUR GAME AHHHHH IM GOING INSANE
She's not real.
she's definitely a difficulty spike compared to the rest of Act 2, probably the only well-balanced encounter in the game for when you reach her
This but unironically.
she's real
I was 45 for end of act 3 before side questan
But you can.
At the end of her relationship story, she was writing a song, and asks verso to help her "compose". If you agree to help her "compose" the son for her, they fuck off into the forest.
What happens if you are 32 when the clock ticks down to 33 and the gommage happe s but your birthday is the next day?
then you live until the clock ticks down to 32
wow what a chud. everyone knows that 1920s france was 50% black.
Middle of Act 2 so far
Exploration is very linear
Quite boring environments
Platforming is janky af, and there's lots of invisible walls and characters clipping on small stuff on the ground.
Once you find a good skill rotation, there's pretty much very little change in strategy from battles to battles
They managed to make normal battles in a turn-based RPG even longer and boring than usual by having enemies with lots of HP.
Pictos are annoying to manage
Weapon scaling seems hamfisted, just like character building, at least so far. It makes building characters random and confusing.
However there's definitely some cool stuff, I like the battles in general and the VA / facial expressions are nice. Some battles, especially bosses, can be really good. The core of the game is good, but it's pretty obvious it's a small team, as lots of little things lack detail and polish. Still an impressive feat for such a small team, so no shade.
I'll wait until the end for my final opinion, looks like a solid 7, maybe 8.
Pshh, stop running defense for streamers who don’t play properly. There hasn’t been a single complaint about that boss by anyone here who has beat it, so that’s an indictment on him.
She definitely whipped my ass the first few times I fought her so I can see how she'd be a significant roadblock for the functionally retarded, i.e. streamers.
Yeah, but 6 hours? I got her on my third try, same as Renoir before her.
Just spend a bit more time grinding and exploring, but it shouldn't take 6 hours unless you got there on level 30 somehow or something
Went to check and I had to scroll quite a bit until I finally found the image you have cherrypicked.
Thanks for proving that you're a disingenuous faggot.
they hired 8 skilled Koreans to animate the creatures but then used default unreal engine slopnimations for the characters walking running and jumping that you're gonna be looking at your entire play through.
that's not my fault, anon
if you used elemental genesis throughout act 1 and 2 you did not beat the game.
downside is if you don't, then Lune is garbage for the whole game instead of just act 3.
i'm just stumbling my way through using fire magic and the fire weapon they give you for her at the start and she's the most reliable character on my team. maelle can do more single target damage but lune throws down aoe burns every turn and can heal if needed.
hurr durr only use skills I say you should or you didn't beat the game
are you 13
Maybe i'm too fucking old or something but the parry system feels like absolute garbage, and this is coming from someone who has beaten bloodborne and eldenring. I press as the attack is landing and the shit doesn't count, i don't understand what the fuck i'm doing wrong.
At the very end, he sees through a portal the effect of true Verso’s canvas having a dire consequence on his mother l. Throughout the game, Verso has always concealed his motives behind lies. Even the mask area verso is “he who guards truth with lies.”
He’s always loved his mother, and true to act 2, when he tells her to go home, as a character who has always lacked agency to make a choice finally does.
You can see his facial expression as the internal cogs of his decision is made, something I find Clar does well with minus the shot lip syncing
You dodge until you see the "perfects" pop up consistently, then you switch to parrying. If you can't even dodge, then you need to git gud.
the timing is kinda fucky and takes a lot of getting used to. i ended up just ignoring all of the audio prompts and watching what the enemy is actually doing and that seems to have netted me a much more consistent success rate.
Took me a while to get it, but the parry window is further back than you think. You need to hit parry after the attack has already hit you. I started hitting a lot more parries this way, the gameplay feels a lot smoother now.
She will never give you this look whilst holding your balls.
Just play the game a bit more and grind on the same enemies. You can get used to it. I used to get filtered by Lampmaster hard but I just tried shit 3-4 times and then I got it.
Some are very annoying if you don't learn how to dodge/parry so if you just spend a bit more time, you can both be stronger and the parries will be more meaningful.
posts an actual review
fag
You can't go purely based off of audio cues or visuals, because some enemies have intentionally misleading cues.
been stuck on frozen heart for like 2 hours, help
there's no way you don't set up an outpost on the continent with a supply chain back to lumière so you can stage expeditions from there
it's retarded how little intel the 67th expedition has about the continent after 67 years
Are you in Act 2 or 3?
you mean Gargant?
just get more dps bro, but I recommend doing it in act 3 if you haven't
Level up be about 60+ / Beat Sprong / Farm the one mob behind the flag in the sadness vale to upgrade your weapons to 20. Use Lune and Sciel for a testosterone boost to parry.
You aren't playing as expedition 60.
I've beaten BB and Sekiro without much issues but the parries in this game are weird.
Maybe the zooming, moving camera has something to do with it.
You need to hit parry after the attack has already hit you.
You sure? Seems like it's the contrary to me.
9,999 cap should be removed the moment you recruit Monoco
the parry window in Sekiro is actually double E33's
The audio cues line up better than the animations.
Not on all enemies. Some don't really give you a good sound cue. Or none at all
You can turn the camera movement off if it's too distracting. Only downside is some of the attacks will be a little harder to read.
I played half of the game on at work on a steamdeck at 30fps. I really couldn't use the visual cues because they would always be slow. Audio seemed fine for me.
Not surprised, in Sekiro it's your only defence. Dodging is fine for now with the occasional parry, so it's fine.
Would Expedition 99 be a kino prequel?
music is a solid 10/10
i keep reading this everywhere but 90% of the music in this game actively annoys me. the french wailing is unbearable. i just passed the gestral village and the only music in the game that registered above literal sleep ASMR for me was the Goblu boss fight music. the bump and clap portion of the track that kicks in at was great.
youtube.com
I want them to make something new instead of falling into franchise slop hell
Lmao. You can't name a single better-written game from the past 2-3 years.
you're brown
I tend to agree.
The music is good for me, but far from memorable.
The game would have been a lot better if it had actually been about saving Lumiere you can still have the family grief. Just have all the playable characters not be part of the family or being painted copies of the family and just have them beat/teach the gods of their world to deal with their problems you know have the art (that last remaining piece of their son) touching his parent's hearts and helping them move on probably have the fading boy involved in the final confrontation and shit.
Listen to the main sad theme with Verso and Maelle. Every time I hear it start, I hear Return to Zarkaland, and expect Verso to say “This is my story.”
pic
cursed
I entered at level 30...
its ugly
youtube.com
my least favorite song so far - it sounds exactly like the background music for a corporate training video, a new apple product, or a health insurance commercial aimed at the elderly.
youtube.com
this one actually isn't bad and i definitely lol'd irl when the fight ended and the french wailer started going "HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!' during the xp payout/victory screen. never ben in a battle long enough to hear the admittedly cool guitar/synth solo at 1:45.
youtube.com
this is definitely.. different, high energy at least which is a plus. haven't encountered this song yet in the game.
Second part of Simon's fight music has the violin doing a progression similar to FF's prelude. Definitely some little nods here and there.
dubtard
ew
blegh
Based
can you link it please? i'm approaching this with an open mind and can only report how i feel about the music just passed the gestral village like i said.
YWNBAPianoist
should I kill Danseuse Teacher?
don't kill any of the white nevrons
wow yea that intro progression sounds straight out of to zanarkand. the wailing stuff throws me off every time though, would enjoy a version of this with just the piano.
In Old Lumier
Game forces me to pick Lune again
Haven't touched her since the card girl joined
Look at her abilities, pick up Elemental Trick and Mayhem
Respect all 30 points in luck, with pictos she has a 100% crit
Tfw turn 2 she does 32K damage with a shitty weapon
what in the absolute fuck?
don't underestimate the feet
Anon, stop and think. Why would he want to gommage Verso or Maelle? They actively play into his hand. He wants to get his wife out of the painting and they want the same thing only for different reasons.
Based
It's boring flavor of the month slop
this feels like FFXIV Soken cult all over again, like yeah the music is good/great but nothing minblowing, hell the main theme gets obnoxious so fucking quick man.
Gustave
Some Neil Druckman shit right there
My care for the game is gone I am just rushing to the end
nah Une vie a t'aimer is mindblowing and then Paintress is right after that
at least the game doesn't forces you to sympathize with the killer
well...
it's a shitty turn-based game
Spent like half an hour attacking this dude
From what I heard, your 4 niggas in a row have ridiculous names like François Omelete du Fromage.
Omelete du Gommage
4
nigga, we can only afford 3 niggas in this game
anon you're allowed to come back later, it's ok
And most of the western world.
Love the game, but...
Party menu UI
That's my only gripe with it. Navigating the character pages is annoying, sometimes you hit a direction and the cursor goes somewhere unexpected. The picto selection menu also needs to be more readable, some picto names use text that is too small due to the names.
That's it, really.
I hated the its all a painting lmao twist a lot at first but im starting to warm up to it, maybe ill even like it at some point.
the balancing is all fucked up, its basically a one shot fest. Normal enemies starting just before the paintres one shot you even with 50+ vitality and you in turn,one shot bosses once you have maelle's lvl 3 gradient attack, even if you dont build for it.
I beat the main game easily enough but all the post game areas seem way to high level for me were the fuck I'm I supposed to start for post game content
yea I can.
Metaphor
Final fantasy XVI
Elden Ring
Sekiro
Dynasty warrios origins
I can go on and on. all better than the shit characters and insufferable dialogue of
e33.
SHUT UP
I'm 30 hours in and so far most of my playtime has been on side areas, feels like the main path is pretty easy regardless of level/build
lol
lmao
its true bro.
how the fuck anyone can withstand hearing these lame af characters from
e33 is beyond me. worse are the campfire scenes where its just two of any of the three girls. although they are all really fucking abhorrent.
No there are plenty of side areas I did before I beat the story I was more talking about shit like Frozen heart stuff that seemed like it was meant to be post game
your first example was Metaphor lmao, you just have zero taste
Does the "danger" message disappear from areas when you return to them later? cause I've been avoiding those like the plague
it's based on your level
metaphor story is amazing though. shits is ridiculously fucking based in its story characters and dialogue. its multi layered and deep as fuck. its dramatic, melancholic and up beat all at the same
time. its literally a life changing lesson to those open to its message.
I used it through the whole game after I got it
did I ruined the rest of the game by doing frozen heart as soon as it was available? enemies are not THAT tough HP wise.
kek
and
lmao
Goblu, the camp track is the only one I like. It's not that one though
the fight theme is called something else
youtube.com
youtube.com
Maelle-fags exist
can’t expect a dim witted nigger like you to get it. e33 is more near your grasp.
well maybe I just suck but it was more their speed and power than hp they were getting like 6 turns and one shooting my characters
racism bad lmao
Quite boring environments
What game are you playing
yeah I started dropping most of my points on speed, my characters are like 40 might and 60 speed.
Not sure when should I start dropping points on crit but enemies not getting like 2 turns in a row is a high priority for me
Verso's ending is the bad one because Alicia now has to live in France
actually Metaphors message towards race is that no matter what, class and race differences will always exist as long as humans remain human. the only person pushing for globohomo was Louis, and he cared nothing for the people and used such ideal purely for propaganda towards his goals.
you have nothing bro.
I can break down your shit faggot game frame by frame and tell you why it’s obviously a faggot game. meanwhile you have absolutely nothing on Hashino sans masterpiece.
"And I just started blasting": the zone
why are 90% of the zones in this game so brown and blurry?
Renoir in all iterations is the only one that isn't a selfish retard
hey Anon Babbleros i'm at the "ouh" nevron. due to being slightly spoiled i know if you let all the white domineurs live you get either a lot of character upgrade points or a special weapon near endgame.
however upon reading ign it said i can still get the endgame reward if i give the mine to the demineur then kill it. can any anon confirm? or maybe i should let it live to play safe?
The story feels like it's trying to be Xenoblade but forgot to make sure all the twists stand up to scrutiny. The ending thinks it's giving you a tough philosophical question, but there's an objectively correct answer, and it's not the right question to be asking in that moment anyway.
It's good, I guess, but nowhere near good enough for the circlejerk it's getting.
yeah it truly is jrpg like even matched the glaring flaws and contradictions in the storytelling
implying versofags wouldn't choose to remain in the "fictional" world were they in maelle's position
If you're struggling to make Lune not suck ass, try Elemental Genesis, it's a fucking nuke.
Just play it safe, it's not like you're getting an amazing game-breaking reward out of killing that one dude
All those complaints while posting Ryu from the Street Fighter franchise
Oh the ironing
There are quite a few flaws:
1.) It's rather buggy. It's not too choppy while playing, given the graphical fidelity, but almost every single session I have a crash. Not sure if it's due to Xbox since I got a free month to play this for free (Microsoft is fucking retarded lol) but it's frustrating.
2.) There are not nearly enough characters. FIVE? Seriously? It's not even a complete team left over when the first one dies in combat, they needed at least 2-3 more to really round out the party
3.) There is not enough plot for everything to feel complete. The entire journey feels quite lonesome, which is fine, but it's focused more strongly on family dynamics than anything else, and as a result the overall plot kind of suffers. It still ends up being quite good but it could have been punched up.
4.) A lot of mechanics aren't fully fleshed out. The relationship levels are a waste of time, the Pictos while pretty good are a bit too shallow to be truly spectacular, and the overworld while thankfully present for once could have used a lot more content.
It feels like the game is 85% complete, but the parts that are complete are wonderfully done. This was definitely the best first title I've played from a studio since the beginning of the HD era, by far. This is more or less the kind of quality that I would have expected SE to be putting out with Final Fantasy titles. I greatly look forward to their future titles, and given that there is much left unexplained I hope it will be in the same world (even if not in THIS world, which would be for the best imo)
deus ex machina shit that's not shown until hours later
...yes, that's how plot development works you moron. You might as well ask "Wait how the FUCK did Cloud survive at Nibelheim? I need answers NOW this isn't fair"
He has a fuckton of range, dude screamed his lungs out during FFXVI. He was the only good thing about that retarded game. You have shit opinions and should feed yourself to a shark.
How is the soundtrack still not uploaded in the usual places?
Only deaths are from the game cheating by giving the opponent 6 turns in a row or something similar...
Okay so you just suck at the game, sorry you got mad and quit lil bro
kino biome
I do agree with most of your points, but on PS5 I've never had a single crash or bug. I think the only "major" bug I encountered was a loss of voices' sound, where I had to reload the game. I'd even say it's quite astonishing how bug free the game is for a first release of such a small team, I expected a lot more jank.
Maybe there's something wrong with the Gamepass version.
Which are? It's on Spotify.
>They kinda just throw the endgame content at you with no explanation as to what to do first
This pissed me the fuck off. They drop you in Act III without the slightest indication of where to find anything, and neither the overworld nor any given areas are very intuitive to explore. Maybe it's because I'm older and don't have dozens of hours to explore but it was quite annoying
Spotify
Get off my website.
I'm torn. I've got Sprong on the ropes and I can trivially finish him off at this point. But I'm only in Act 2(about to go fight The Paintress and I'm highly tempted to let him wipe me at this point so I don't trivialize the rest of the game, and can come back and whoop him even harder later.
I feel like the stakes were made arbitrarily high for no reason. Renoir wants to destroy the canvas to stop his wife from killing herself, and for Maelle to fall into the same trap that she did longing for a family that was never there. That's fair, and given what we are shown it is correct to destroy it to finally begin to heal the familial trauma. However, why can't Renoir get help for his wife? Why will she always find the painting no matter what? Why does Maelle HAVE to live inside the painting knowing that Renoir will destroy it when she leaves? Her mother never shows up in the painting again as far as we can tell, so clearly he was able to keep her away while Maelle's in there.
Finally, a large part of the game is about them trying to heal since the world they are in is not real, but the line between real and fake in this game is wildly thin. All the characters are clearly sentient, and the world is living and breathing. Sure, it's a replica, but it's a really fucking good one. At MOST one could argue that Verso should be allowed to die, as he clearly longs for death since he knows his life is a lie. Thus, the bad ending could have been easily solved by Maelle treating the painting like Sebastian did the book in the Neverending Story, and by allowing Verso to rest in peace when he begged for death. They made the bad ending bad for no reason, it could have easily been made happy with minimal effort.
Just don't equip the pictos you get from him until act 3. The biggest thing you can do to trivialize the game is equip the break damage limit pictos so as long as you don't do that you should be fine.
That's fair I guess. Not like I didn't go grab a bunch of pictos from the Frozen Hearts as soon as Monaco joined either so I guess I cna't say too much right now.
Also alternatively I could just slap it on Verso and basically pretend have the Dueliso equipped at all times. Especially since I got a level 21 weapon from the Frozen Hearts gathering dust.
That's a good play, since Dualiso is balanced by having very poor weapon power scaling; this basically gives you a Dualiso that won't gimp your damage.
I was actually fucking pissed, eventually Verso grew on me though. I almost dropped the game right there but I continued on.
Honestly Verso's built mostly support right now anyways, so giving him Cheater won't actually break things much. Decided to go Sireso instead to split my Perfection bonus to Maelle and Monaco while he does his thing.
It's more like L or Kamina than Joel and you not knowing the difference and acting like any main character dying is Joel bad is exactly why people don't take tlou2 complainers seriously. Joel simply dying is the less of tlou2s problems
But I have a pirated version...
Aline has been gradually dying as she staves off Renoir's attacks. She's not all there anymore. She is trying to stop Renoir from gommaging everyone all at once, she only has enough strength to slowly stave it off, so it is gradually affecting younger and younger people as she is losing strength. Real Renoir is her husband, he is trying to defeat her and force her out of the painting so she can process her grief. Real Renoir doesn't target anyone because he is stuck under the Monolith and engaged in combat with Aline. Aline doesn't redirect to her choosing, the point of it all is that Renoir is beating her and she's crumbling away from spending too much time wasting away in the painting.
Enemy reuse is really only in issue in side content and roaming mobs. Which is fine. The game is 20 dollars cheaper than a triple a so the length is fine
i hated exploring the shitty levels it led to me rushing through the game, running past enemies and straight to bosses
i ended up at paintress with my characters at lvl 30-33
i couldnt beat her and i was too lazy go back and farm enemies for XP
i uninstalled just now
the story is also pretty shit
my only criticism is that there is no menu to see if I've already cleared the dungeon.
