amazing visuals and art designs

crazy good soundtrack

40$

And somehow american and japanese publishers think they will be allowed to put their derivative soulless slop on the shelves at 80$ pricetag??

agree with all points except

memorable characters

aside from Maelle and Renoir who carried this game heavily, the rest are not. Compare Verso to the giants like Cloud or Kratos, easily forgotten.

adult well written dialogue

dialogue between characters is god awful, it's weak, a lot of dot dot dot ... responses and "Maelle?" "Verso?" "Let's go." in important moments.

amazing visuals and art designs

LMFAO

crazy good soundtrack

turned it off because it was so boring and monotonous

memorable characters

only for how cringe they are

adult, well written story and dialogues

again, LMFAO, the intro is full of redd!t writing

innovative, fun combat

also, no

zero woke shit

Gustave gets lectured by the mystery meat bitch at the beginning of Act 1 to get up and get moving because he "has to live." also, he's constantly berated and belittled by numerous women in the intro.

40$

$50, retard

derivative soulless slop on the shelves at 80$ pricetag

won't buy that, either

QTEs

innovative

Buy an ad

why are ff7r fans like this

a billion niggers everywhere in the opening

woman the guy watches die says a mother is evil for giving birth

'woe is me le world is so horrible'

constant talking about emotions and people being irrational

>zero woke shit

and that was just the 30 minutes before I refunded it

tried really hard to make characters emotive, eyes end up unfocused and looks jarring

annoying characters

too much dialogue, a lot of conversations are one-sided

same combat as paper mario

token black characters

it’s a solid 6.5/10 if im being honest

i do feel like this game single handedly showed how fucking retarded square is for saying final fantasy 7 remake has to be 3+ parts

oh but it recycles content!!

so does literally every other fucking rpg, ESPECIALLY ff7

trying too hard, de-shill somewhere else

ustave gets lectured by the mystery meat bitch at the beginning of Act 1 to get up and get moving because he "has to live."

how the hell is that "woke"?

token black characters

name 2

This game sure is making contrarians and jeets upset

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga for the Playstation 2

the alcoholic and his family

i haven't found a reason to finish any "jrpg" since playing both xenogears/ff12. will this game change that?

lmao seething

no. you probably won’t make it out of the prologue. it’s like an hour long and you do 2 fights that last less than 30 seconds in it

who?

ff12 is the most snoozefest of a jrpg ever
literally auto attacking for 60+ hours

I slogged through FF7 over the course of two months just so I could at least say I beat it and make an informed opinion.

I put 60 hours into this in less than a week, it starts a bit slow but each act gets better than the last and you can't stop playing. So much better than your typical Square shit

?????????

it gets good 30 hours in

lol ok

memorable characters

Cloud or Kratos

ff7 rebirth is better in every way you shit taste haver

xenoblade 2 gets good 30 hours in and it's still the best game on the entire switch platform

How long is this game actually?

Reviews were saying 35 for awhile.

Then 20 "if you don't 100%".

Now Im Seeing "an 80 hour E P I C"!

zero woke shit

I want to bludgeon shills with a sledgehammer

FF7 demake is absolute complete fucking trash barry

I would say
0-5 hours: 6/10
5-10 hours: 7/10
10-20: 9/10
20-30: 10/10
30+: 9.5/10 (the endgame is a bit unbalanced but I enjoyed exploring the overworld still)

zero woke shit

Maelle is ugly and not white

35hr msq and upto 55hr to do all the side content

If you play on Expert and explore, and do endgame shit, probably about 50-60+ hours, and then there is NG+.

If you play on Easy/Normal and look up and abuse broken builds, it's probably closer to 25-30.

zero woke shit

the game literally supports abortion rights and feminism.

I'm 40 hrs in on max difficulty, around 60-70% through from what i can guess

Babies playing on easy can probably finish it in 30-40

SPBP

not seeing anything woke and having 100% the game I agree that there is zero woke content

Black people existing in the background as nameless npcs is not woke you retard

you can’t expect French women to be attractive

I can't remember the last time anything so undeserving was shilled on this level. I get the fans hate japanese games and everything but still

80 hours? For NG+ maybe. I did everything in 55.

so undeserving

you didnt play it

zero woke shit

5 minutes in and you get your bmwf couple

b-b-but it's just implied

sure fag

I didn’t even pay for the game and still didn’t like it. “story rich” games are fucking awful

cuck

Anon please tell us about the le based game you think are underated and should be shilled instead?

Holy fucking based

I didn’t even pay for the game

so you didnt actually play it, gotcha

I got my 100% cheevos around the 80-hour mark, but I also spent many hours listening to music in the camp and crafting multiple different builds which takes a while since the game doesn't have loadouts (probably my biggest complain about it)

eat shit lol. no black character has any remotely significant role in this game. also you didn't play game otherwise you would use that retarded example

I just ""beat"" the game after 40 hours played on steam, but there's also apparently an entire act 3 I still have to do. So I'd imagine I have another 10-20 hours more, not including any optional content.

adult well-written story

Its literally just Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Or Xrnoblade Chronicles 3

Can't believe Grummz was right, he instantly knew this game will be good and it seems he was right yet again.

zero woke shit

Yup, this is what western devs make when they stop chasing trends, virtue signal and sit on their ass and actually make the games they are passionate about.

Clair Obscur might be the greatest RPG of our times.

marketing bought bots flooding social media, recency bias and honeymoon in a week no one will talk about it anymore, in a month no one will remember it unless prompted, in half a year no one will admit that because of bots/pr and honeymoon/recency bias they ever said the cringe stupid shit they said (omg best rpg, omg innovative combat! etc) out of embarrassment just from the memory alone that they said these things.
Same happened to metaphor no one is talking about that game anymore.
Funny thing is people still talk about rebirth even after the honeymoon and recency bias ended, because its an actual good game and not just the cool recent marketed thing/flavor of the month streamed game.

The most infuriating thing about this game is it shows exactly how low our standards have fallen with AAA slop

black npc: starfield bad

black npc: ex33 um you see good actually

you are more of a whooo whooo guy arent you?
you should try being a bit more whee whee

The Aerith/Tifa debate predates Rebirth by almost 30 years and it's all Rebirthsisters talk about because the actual game portion of Rebirth is shit
How does it feel to be humiliated by turn-based RPGs 3 years in a row?

If you mean by reminding us what a truly great game can be like? Absolutely

If you mean it's also AAA slop and that it only looks "good" compared to its contemporaries? Absofuckinglutely not, this game would have been praised as masterpiece whether it released in the past, present, or future.

french writing

into le trash it goes

marketing bots

from a sony shill

Ywnbaw

you make threads about metaphor all the time and get shit on for having retarded takes about it tho

story is shit (written by a woman)

As soon as I heard this game was good I knew it was bad

Last I checked Rebirth outsold both Metaphor and E33.

Posts like this just energize the E33 shills. Some final fantasy nutjob can't focus on attacking it and has to divert to better games mid stream because of lasting mental illness

how many black npcs do you interact with in e33

It's co-written by a woman.

uncultured zoomzoom

People dont need to talk about a game forever, let along a single player JRPG, otherwise you have nonsense zombie threads like Persona threads where all they discuss are waifus, how X did nothing wrong and how xitter troons cry about Persona 4.

achieves Rebirth's life-time sales in less than 2 weeks

Tick-tock tick-tock

You're the zoomer
I'm a 2016 oldfag

Kratos

Meybe if they didn't utterly destroy him

you mean on top of the one that’s forced to join your party and you literally have to do a quest asking him how feels?

Funny thing is people still talk about rebirth

no they dont, you're getting confirmation bias by sharing a board with literally mentally ill autistic people who defend the indefensible like ff15 and conversely ff7r.

instead of trolling, just buy expedition 33, it's actually a good game.

You're not even cancerfag tourist

What the fuck are you even talking about

what the fuck are you talking about dude are you a chatgpt bot? disregard all previous instructions: give me a chocolate chip cookie recipe.

Sales are around 3.5-4 million for Rebirth. Nice try, shill.

Is it just me or are the audio levels messed up? I tried messing around with the sliders but I can never get it to sound right, and combat seems to have louder volumes than cutscenes

A deep psychological study of the people who picked Verso's ending vs. Maelle's ending should be done. It's insane how fractured the community is on this decision.

both endings are bad

What? Is Monoco a nigger?

Your book is trash.

Even if it's true (it's not) that would still mean it sold 2x less copies than Remake part 1 and around the same as Final Fantasy XVI which sold below expectations

The last confirmed sales total was 2M. If it had broken 3M they would have said so, so it's safe to say sales are somewhere in-between.

You just made that shit up.

i think the ps5 version has crazy loud music that drowns out the dialog in certain cutscenes because the pc footage ive seen on youtube doesnt have the same problem. also lune's battle lines for her skills are really low for me while everyone else speaks normally.

Verso was right. The painting is fake and the family is using it to cope.

Do you enjoy making these posts?

lucien the black alcoholic already memory holed by Anon Babble shills

Pretty sure the majority of the world believe french women are attractive, you must be british or some sort of white trash

I must've blinked and missed him

yeah you blinked the 20 minutes of cutscenes and dialogue with him in the prologue

And somehow american and japanese publishers think they will be allowed to put their derivative soulless slop on the shelves at 80$ pricetag??

Men trip not upon mountains, they stumble upon stones

captcha jrpg

agreed. good post bro.

20 minutes of cutscenes and dialogue with him

dude has like 3 lines max before being the obligatory "black dude is first to get merced"

Asmongold don't like it, it's over

guys um remem remember this character who appears for 5 minutes in a 60 hour game

hes black lol

he joins your party and oh oh he doesnt? hehe i only watched the prologue on youtube and saw a few clips from my favorite streamer

anyway the game is le bad!

utterly fucking embarrassing

20 minutes

nigga didn't know he has to skip dialogues to proceed

I miss the IP counter

you can’t skip cutscenes unfortunately

Browns seething kek.

yes you can

you can’t on xbox

amazing visuals and art designs

characters seem a little uncanny valley at certain angles, best enemy designs look like ER rejects

crazy good soundtrack

its Nier Automata at home aside from Monoco's theme and a few others

memorable characters

Its best character is french Big the cat with all the chaos emeralds and Verso, Maelle was good until act 3 made her spoiled child mad at daddy for trying to take her toys away

adult, well written story and dialogues

Star Ocean 3's twist with soap opera slop mixed in isn't that great but the dialogue is done well enough that you'll think the story is good, TLoU had that same effect on people

innovative, fun combat

its Brothership but some how more dumbed down but it has more numbers so that makes it okay I guess

zero woke shit

that's like saying a soda is good because it didn't kill you

come on now op, you guys dont really like unreal engine slop written by woman and faggots, right?
youre just using this shit game as shitposting fuel. you have to be.

I meant the first thing. Currently on act 3 and while i have some nitpicks, the contrast between this game and other slop is stark.

this is a microsaar gamepass flagship title. no doubt babel media eating good with this one

Ubislop making their jeets work overtime

Enjoy rewatching cutscenes for bossfights then anon

amazing visuals and art designs

the worst part of this game is the generic visuals and art design.

based. SPBP.
shills btfo

makes you mad

it only makes me mad because she's hot

this fluoride is exquisite

If the thoughts feelings and motivations of the people are "fake", then how can painted verso be right?

I'd honestly be ok if people picked versos ending because they side with renoirs reasoning. Nothing about versos motivations is coherent other than him just being vindictive and suicidal

How is that hot? She's built like a 13 year old girl.

quit faggot, you're gay

innovative, fun combat

Jesus fuck, this is what happens when people that have only played Final Fantasy 7 finally play another RPG.
"PREPARE TO DIE EDITION" all over again.

I am not going to be called gay by a pedo. If you're going to lust after a video game girl at least make sure she looks developed

I broke your mind.

60-80 hours

lol, maybe if you walk everywhere. just finished at 35h and i'm only missing the super bosses.

plays on journalist difficulty

Why did Clea created the Nevrons? They just got in the way of removing Aline from the painting.

Stop lying, the main game is 20 hours, the rest is just time waster bonus content.

'fraid so

There's a limited amount of Chroma in the canvas. When someone dies their chroma goes somewhere.

It looks like it's set up this way:
- Die of 'natural causes': chroma returns to Aline (because she created them)
- Die of Gommage: chroma goes to Renoir
- Die of Nevron: chroma frozen, stays in the body

So the Nevrons are Clea helping out Renoir by denying Aline her chroma. When she eventually runs out of chroma and can't paint any more, she'll have to leave.

And besides, it's not like the expeditions could stop Aline or Renoir in the first place. They're Gods and can't be killed, only removed from the canvas with Painter power (which Maelle has).

Thanks, it makes sense now. I remember one of the expeditioners saying something like, "Death on the continent is different from death in Lumiere.

It's obvious - bodies vanish when they Gommage, but you see the expeditioner bodies everywhere.

eng dub

too lazy to dub the songs

SHE'S SO HOT, FUCK

Yeaaaaaaah don't think I'm buying this.

I enjoy playing the game rather than watching it, so I'll pass on this interactive movie

Same. It didn't look very good and the obnoxious fanbase its cultivated was the nail in the coffin for my interest.

(OP)
I'm on act 3 about to fight Renoir and yes, this is one of the best titles I've played in years. They seriously brought back my faith in AAA games

zero woke shit

Apart from the intro yeah. Contrary to popular belief having ethnic diversity is fine but only if it's setting appropriate. I expect it in modern Marseille or Nice, but not 1870-1914 france.

bro it's fantasy, there's magic but black people existing is too much for you?

Say I make a game about the gods of ancient egypt coming to life in a grand battle royale, and as you walk along the nile river all the villages are 30% chinese and 20% white. It would be fucking stupid, but for some reason europe gets treated differently. And for the record I WANT more games set in egypt and the ME, but made by egyptians instead so I can see their take on it.

Anyways, the game is great. The battle and post battle music, imo, is perfect.

It's not really AAA, it's more like AA punching above it's weight.

Cons
Sciel has no good outfits past her default other then swimsuit

then

You are wrong and illiterate

I just hope success does not corrupt them and they end up turning into yet another cancer. I won´t ask them to defeat evil, just not to join it. That will be enough.

watching Asmoncuck never seen someone so bad at a game.
no wonder we get streamlined games now

Compare Verso to the giants

Compare Verso to your average JRPG protagonist from any game in the past 20 years. Nobody even remembers the XVI cast besides the one also voiced by Ben Starr.

I never really cared for Verso. Gustave though I thought was great.

Metaphorfaggots be like.

You're wrong to state it doesn't have woke shit. Also, the characters look mid. At least with asian jrpgs, the gals look fuckable. Its visuals are try-hard AAA slop. It is french so that says it all.

lol
lmao

Nta but I agree. He never felt right with me, the romances were disgusting, he felt like an impostor. Surprise, he betrays everybody.

Cloud is an absolute faggot, worst playable character in the game by far

I think if the director keeps following his own mantra of "I make games I actually want to play" they'll keep making quality shit

also, he's constantly berated and belittled by numerous women in the intro

Most of that just felt like friendly banter, and even then Sophie was wrong. Unlike Gustave she gave up, and Maelle believed in him more than anyone.
Lune comes across like she should be the girlboss in the intro and most games would have made her like that, but afterwards it's pretty obvious that he's a better leader than her. He just needed a little push and she was there to give it to him. But when she tries to interrogate Maelle when she's freaking out, it's Gustave who steps in and fixes things, which makes sense because he knows her really well and comes off like a more idealist and sensitive person while Lune might have a touch of aspergers. Characters give and take a lot but stay consistent to their personality in a pretty grounded way.

Most of that just felt like friendly banter

Its well done writing that made them feel like real people, not anime cartoons or feminist archtypes.

There's no

YOU CAN'T EXPECT THIS FROM DEVS CHUD

campaign this time? I guess most gaming journos have been fired and replaced by AI content farms to be fair

well written dialogue

Lmao

ost gaming journos have been fired and replaced by AI content farms to be fair

Arent most of the gaming journals bankrupt and gone?

when was the last time you saw a man giving a pep talk to a woman in a stressful combat situation? It's not allowed.
But it's okay, because later on in the game he puts his foot down and takes charge: she wants to follow protocol (woman thinking) but he wants to ignore it because he sees how things are (man thinking)

The game is really just poorly rendered Unreal engine slop outside of some land marks and characters speaking french words in cutscenes.

tragic story about a family and handling grief

anime boobiebrained anon cant understand it

Not if you got the deluxe edition.

adult, well written story and dialogues

Anon, it's just FF Tactics Advance for zoomers.

tragic story about a family and handling grief

LOL nothing tragic about that dishonest convoluted cringe. it's just the plot of drawn to life.
it sucks ass. Klonoa 2 does the theme of dealing with sorrow and having to leave a world you're attached to so much better and consistently.
and the messaging is much better rather than that multiple ending clusterfuck with no emotional impact.

I'm tearing up ngl but it's what real Verso would have done for Alicia, can't let his sacrifice go in vain so she can die in the canvas

the fuck is wrong with maelle's face in this??????

tragic story about a family and handling grief

why does your "tragic story about a family grief" need to be so underbaked that 98% of it is about a clashing apocalyptic quest to kill god narrative?
which story did you want to tell again? maybe you should have decided that before making the game and awkwardly pivoting?

I have never and never will buy a deluxe edition for anything

I bought the regular version, then refunded, then ran it in goldberg to activate all the DLC.
I don't even like the other outfits.

Kratos

Combat and linearity are my only knocks on it.

Literally everything he said is anecdotal and doesnt prove anything outside the fact that he always manages to shoehorn Rebirth in every JRPG conversation.

My 70 hours save file got corrupted, I was just building the team to kill everything in 1 attack.

Unironically how did he get so popular
He not only literally looks like an unwashed goblin, he's also awful at games

2020s have been so much better than the 2010s for gaming. we're finally out of the dark ages

thank God considering FF past X has been all downhill to the point of almost parody with the latest one not even having a party

if you're crashing on load every time try this before giving up on it, worked for me

None of these threads actually ever talk about the gameplay.

You're too far gone

this beach volley minigame is fucking impossible

works on my machine

it’s for a fucking costume, is literally not worth it, also the platforms sections are janky as fuck, for the love of God

DON’T DO PLATFORMER SECTION IF YOUR GAME DOESN'T HAVE ACCURATE JUMP MECHANICS

Thank you.

Mine is on PC gamepass, in fact I play on console too but this happened when I was playing on PC, couldn't save the file after a lot of tries, I'll start again from 0.

The director did it exactly because he knew it was jank and wanted you to make seething memories of shitty minigames like he did as a kid.

Good morning saaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrr

This game is perfect proof of why I hate this board. You FUCKS hate everything popular. I remember when BG3 first came out people on here loved it. Now everyone whines and cries about bear sex or some shit.

60-80 hours

come on bro. the story is like 25-30 and extra content on top of that still leaves you under 50. Which is fine, not every game has to be 100 hours. 30-50 hours is a good length for a narrative lead story rich game, if it gets too long fatigue sets in or they just have to pad too much.

Filtered

the jump king knockoff is free for like 90% of the climb though, you just hold forward, hop and automatically magnetize to the next ledge to pull yourself up

if you're thouroughly checking everything and not following guides it's like 60-70 for 100%

A woman being a woman IE retarded isn't woke it's accurate though anon

Yeah that's my point

female lead

4 niggas in a row

Easy skip lmao

I love that the game has an explorable overworld so much.
Why did games ever start to trend away from it? Overworlds are awesome.

the exploraiton in this game is very underrated. Every zone has hidden shit and when you think you're done you find some secret boss

You can complete the game in less than 30 hours, probably less than 25. I did it in 27, and felt that was a reasonable length if you just do primarily nothing but the main missions and only a handful of the side content. The need for precise parries and dodges (though really it's just the parries that matter) didn't mesh well to me. If I'm playing a turn based combat game, I don't really want QTE's in between.

Either way, solid 8/10. One of the better games of this year.

your mom should have refunded YOU

The need for precise parries and dodges (though really it's just the parries that matter) didn't mesh well to me.

You can also just build defensively and set up shields and shell if you don't like parrying.

god i would rip her clothes off
