Finally a JRPG without:

ff16 had very juvenile writing

/thread

Honky ass timmycels be seething

cringy tropes or Japanese "humor"

the humor in this game fits the discription of Japanese cringe. You start the game with serious tones, death and destruction, main character wanting to kill himself, everything is hopeless. Then all of a sudden you find gestrels and it's let's crank up the humor to 11 and forget we're on a life/death adventure.

built for BWC (Big Writer Cock)

We're already dead. look around- look

This is not a foregone conclusion

I don't know about juvenile but no one talks like that unless they have autism or didn't get the nerd beaten out of them in school

Go back to r.eddit

Yeah, don’t particularly care, I still like the TWEWY games more.

Based

You think this is a good thing but it isn't. Look at the classics, they all had this stuff, and Clair Obscur had to borrow from all of them.

Finally a JRPG

it is in fact not a JRPG

based

I hate everything about this genre, thank god they've finally stripped it all away

TWEWY is the only other JRPG with a fun battle system so it's no surprise

More of a JRPG than the recent final fantasy slops

Frogs wob

lmao no

Tropes by definition cannot be cringy, they're plot devices used to tell stories.

They themselves cannot be either good or bad, only done well or done badly

Also, it's not a JRPG because it wasn't made in Japan

tard

I talk like that

bros... I think the game isn't doing that well financially...

parryslop combat

terrible aesthetics and generic, flairless artstyle

bland, empty maps

shitty uncharismatic characters and bland uninspired writing

shitty music

enemy designs are just fatlus rejects

Meh

It has similar plot to FFTA actually just a lot more edgy

I'm so insecure that I worry about the kinds of games I play causing people to mock me instead of just enjoying games for what they are.

Thanks for telling us, OP. Now fuck off.

It mature, grounded story is effectively a shitpost

Oops none of what's going on is real gotcha! By the way none of you did mattered because on top of not being real this world will be destroyed lol!

Twists like these should permanently end a writer's career

mature, grounded story

Is basically a code word for "not actually a story, just a few characters being miserable in the direction of the camera for awhile" at this point. Any event that isn't more misery is panned as cringe tropey nonsense.

Instead we get Hollywood actors with millennial chungus bungus humor, so much better.

Oops none of what's going on is real gotcha!

What are you talking about retard? You didn't play the game.

I'm only interested in JRPGs if they have a classical fantasy aesthetic. I hate E33's art style/aesthetic. It reminds me of the shitty modern day settings of FF.

Oops none of what's going on is real gotcha!

It was real.

this world will be destroyed

Only in the bad ending.

how many times are you going to post this lmao

awwww yisssss

Go to TVTropes and learn what a trope actually is

It's not a negative term

BASED BASED BASED

Did it look like I was in agreement with them?

finally an ungooked gookclicker

This is the gayest thread ever made.

Elden Ring is the endgame of video game aesthetics and Sekiro the endgame of gameplay.

Every game should look like Elden Ring.
Every game should play like Sekiro.

How do i into Sciel?
Need a high damage burst for her to clear a couple things that only let you use her
Was going to just go down the basic attack route like i did with verso but surely there is a better option.
High damage in one hit and extreme in 2 is also confusing as to what will be better

Play an actual good game.

I dunno man.. I just quit this shit, I'm at the battlefield of like 100k dead expedition members in bodies, for the 70 years these expeditions have went on for, that's 1428 members per year if EVERYONE died on that battlefield.. It's fucking terrible writing, bad character development and the skill system is boring as hell.. I know NOTHING about my characters at this point other than maelle is an orphan.. The music is the only redeeming part the rest feels like it just tries to impress you with the worlds scale however if you think for one moment it just breaks because what you're seeing in the world makes no sense from a worldbuilding and history perspective.. The copy pasting of assets is very apparent, the skills are all optional I would say, it seems like it's a darksoul scenario where a broadsword is a lategame weapon, that worked for darksouls because of the multiplayer role playing aspects but for a single player game to not have Fire, Fira and Firage typ upgrades and instead have "Cuustimze your coombos most work, make owwn playjstyle!1" is lefty unthinking nonsense.. What a fucking disapointment this is.. Also the stats are the same way, you can easily randomize the points for every level and it would honestly not do much difference because of the regular level up stats. Glad I torrented it at least. When x died it was the only person holding any form of cohesion to the party, also this new nigger should be dead if I understand the plot at the stage I'm at because he threatens the probable bad guy.. If the bad guy isn't bad it would confuse the lowest common denominator audience so that would really surprise me, so I would be he actually is a bad guy..

so I would BET he actually is a bad guy..

Didn't read though my shitpost before posting it, also the little gremlin things I can't even remember their names are neither cute or funny, this is not some Moogle quality mascots, they both look bad and unmemorable and their jokes and unseriousness is annoying as hell..

Any painted Alicia yet?

I'm garbage at building but since no one else is answering I just open with the 2 starter attacks she gets and then use stuff that keeps her in twilight for as long as possible.
I also use the ability that spreads foreknowledge to all enemies and then a big nuke hit. Never need to auto attack with her.

I liked the battle system, though I'm admittedly not a stats autist like you seem to be. The world is good for me too, I like the gestrals. The rest... I have to agree with you, but you'll see if you continue the game.

It's ok to not like the game. You gave it a fair chance.

i havent gotten that far into the game yet sorry :(

based and rational pilled

but for a single player game to not have Fire, Fira and Firage typ upgrades and instead have "Cuustimze your coombos most work, make owwn playjstyle!1" is lefty unthinking nonsense

You'd have been terribly filtered by the end of Act 2, and I don't even say that to be mean.

I will now play your game

Finally a JRPG

First line and already wrong.

I have more respect for people who are able to give valid criticism than those who outright dismiss new things because "thing popular" and resort to spouting nonsense written by others like parrots without even touching the game themselves.

noooo you're supposed to have tsunderes, harems and nosebleeds in your RPG what are you doing?????

JRPG

J

Grats, i just beat him as well 10 minutes ago.

Maelle rape

t for a single player game to not have Fire, Fira and Firage typ upgrades and instead have "Cuustimze your coombos most work, make owwn playjstyle!1" is lefty unthinking nonsense.

imagine being this retarded.

Thanks man. Cheater seems to be buggy. Sometimes it doesn't work and it never works on Verso with the Dualiso blade (that lets you have a free auto attack)

Maybe its preventing double counting or something? so anything that gives another attack already counts as the one extra slot so it doesnt add a 3rd. idk though.

So you would think killing Tidus in FF10 at like Luca would be a good choice for the story?

Anon, Lune is literally an autistic nerd that's been homeschooled.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Maybe you are only allowed one "play again" or something.

Tidus in FF10 at like Luca would be a good choice for the story?

i cant upgrade my spells along a track, but i can upgrade my weapons and im mad at this though

why? Like what does having firaga make it better? its just to prevent you from cheesing powerful bosses early with low level spells.

Yes. You can only have one play again interacting. This is the same for every instance of this.

French writing.

Literally just Persona 5 combat and concepts ripped off directly but mutilated beyond hope.

Not even a hard game at all on any difficulty.

QTE Clown.

China can't stop copying what Japan does but worse huh?

concepts ripped off directly but mutilated beyond hope.

ah yes the teenage girl who goes uwu and blushes every time you talk to her, and the dating sim where you take her to the electronic store because shes le quircky chugnus

rebirth shills are absolutely mind broken since this dropped and they realized how bad SE has become.

yeah you only get 1 extra turn, multiple sources won't stack.
dualiso and certain skills lose a lot of their value after you beat sprong

Dude you explain it to me then? During your playtime of Expedition 33, did you EVER look forward to getting "that spell" two or three tiers away in the skill tree? I figured it out pretty early that the low damage low cost spells just have different elements but it's all balanced like an mmo or moba. It's like a kids fitting puzzle, you just identify that these four spells work good together and these two other spells are good party support spells, however if you pick those four or another four of a different element does not matter really except if you match the shapes wrong you are weaker..

All spells does;
25/100 effectiveness in it's own way for 1 cost
50/100 effectiveness in it's own way for 2 cost
75/100 effectiveness in it's own way for 3 cost
100/100 effectiveness in it's own way for 4 cost
Match the synergies to the correct color.
I promise you I'm correct without even beating the game, I've gamed all my damn life and I am 100% sure you can beat the final boss on the hardest difficulty with a spell lineup you can have at level 20 using this logic, you do not need the new spells it's just a different coat of paint, a new way of doing the same thing with maybe 110% efficiency instead of 100 (as with running this act 1 lineup of spells ie. lighting or something== 100 efficiency)

Tell me I'm wrong.. I bet you cant.. It's designed to bring everyone along, you can't mess up your spells, everything is pretty good if you just land your QTEs, but it makes leveling boring compared to a high impact leveling tree. This is some league of legends runes type shit

>digimon reject pile enemies and bosses

I like those though

And also, you want a break spell or two.. That's fucking it, I'm pretty sure I'm nailing it, maybe I should give the game another shot if I'm not but I doubt I'm wrong..

E33 is literally a love letter to JRPGs, made by people who love and grew up with them.

Anyone using it to shit on other JRPGs is completely missing the point. The game celebrates and revels in all of the tropes associated with the genre.

I said PERSONA 5, nothing about Final Fantasy was mentioned, mindbroken chinese shill for E33 really hyping up some french team after Netease funded it with MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH. Keep being more obvious with your retardation.

The combat cutscene where they pop up with the menu to select an action.

Literal Persona 5.

The grappling hook animation to get to another upper level.

Yup, that's Persona 5 again. Stop breathing, shill.

It stops being a JRPG after ACT I. Just the gameplay does not make it a JRPG, or they'd just be called RPGs.

girl named Alicia

goes into a land full of wonders

Oh, I see...

3, did you EVER look forward to getting "that spell" two or three tiers away in the skill tree?

yeah the elemental genesis spell looks awesome. the spells let you play each character different ways. Every fira, firaga just turns into replacing it with a new one without any change. Its always the same play through just a damage boost now. Its boring and uninspiring.

if you land your QTEs

yeah thats what made it fun. you can punch above you level if you git gud.
persona 5 did not invent rpg pop up menus for actions. Persona 5 must have been your baby first rpg like for many normies.

I hope you trip in the street and get run over by a steamroller, you ugly false-flagging troon

It was never a JRPG to begin with, because it's made by the French people, not Japanese.

The only thing that defines a JRPG is the country it was made in.

no, you can tell very easily there's a cultural and stylistic relevance to the term

youtube.com/watch?v=CiHj87uMIus

The game looks ugly so I shan't be playing it.

I'm at the battlefield of like 100k dead expedition members in bodies, for the 70 years these expeditions have went on for, that's 1428 members per year if EVERYONE died on that battlefield

Actually yeah... what's up with that? explain yourselves lorefags.

Shill game

DID NOT INVENT.

but the are literally copying frame for frame the way its being shown and displayed only the graphics of the menu are a bit different and the menu GUI is different but its literally can't be argued to be NOT based on Persona 5, you are a literal manchild that needs to have his shit bashed out of them and fed back to them. Oh and where could've they gotten the idea for guns from? Its distinctly Persona 5, only thing they changed was making you aim that gun! HEHEHE SO FUCKING ORIGINAL KILL YOURSELF FAGGOT.
Next you will be in another thread defending Palworld that they didn't copy anything from Nintendo's Pokémon directly. HAHAHAHAHHA.
Fuck your benchod mother.

Every fira, firaga just turns into replacing it with a new one without any change

This is somewhat true but also not because of mana costs and newer spells being unlocked even after firaga.

In regards to QTE that is based and fun, I like what they did but it still falls short I think because the enemy variety is lacking and it's too much "A", Paper Mario TTYD had like 4x better QTE designs with variety and finesse, however the block parry system, while very all or nothing is fun.. My problems is more with story than gameplay thoughbeit.

So what you are saying is you want the game to have only ember, flamethrower and fire blast type skills? You sound autistic.
What's the point in that? I much prefer the "pick your style of gameplay" skill trees we have.
Wanna delete all mobs in 1 turn? Give everyone an aoe spell
Want to DoT the boss to death? Pick skills that synergize with burn.
Want to be a glass canon? There's skills that cut down your HP and passives that let you do more damage the less health you have.
You are bad at parrying/dodging? Plenty of skills that give passive heals and shields and equipment(pictos) that raises your defense.

first of all there aren't 100k, would be surprised if it broke 10k.
second, obviously the earlier expeditions sent more people because there were more people to send and they still had some hope unlike year 33.

What I'm saying is that I would like a 15 point requirement expensive to unlock 2 cost ember spell late in the skill tree that upgrades my starter fire 2 cost spell in every way because otherwise the progression just halts and it becomes "do you want to change your current fully functioning kit to another just as good?" If there is nothing to look forward to and no mystique of future skills then everything just crawls to a halt and you can just keep playing with your current loadout so why change?

It would be like starting with a slow ford in a racing game and at level 20 you unlock a lategame ferrari that runs at 400 km/h, later at level 80 you unlock a bugatti that also run at 400 km/h, but maybe you can replace those ferrari tires with the new bugatti ones because the synergy of the overall car will be a little bit better and now your car runs at 405 km/h.

And yes I'm a autistic cynical sperg

its a big battlefield for sure but its nowhere near 100k. its also all from 1 expedition. yeah, the earlier expeditions were much, much larger, for obvious reasons. by the time of 33 society is close to collapsing and people seem to have generally given up, because theyve tried everything and nothing worked. if you actually play the game and read the journals you find youll see they tried airships, submarines and other fancy tech too.

You don’t like JRPGs
The best modern JRPG is Dragon Quest XI and your shitty tranny game doesn’t even come close

Man Dragon Quest XI is just a much better game than this one, much better characters, towns, vibes and adventure

so are we still pretending this games aesthetics, story, and characters aren’t extremely fucking gay and all of those things you listed?

I hope you kill yourself

Also 0 attractive characters, lol

I don’t even understand what they mean by that

That's a shame. You could really cheese the fuck out of the game plus it's late game stuff where they should be caring less about people stacking absurd modifiers haha.

I just finished the game. Think I made the "wrong" choice but I hated Sciel by the end and Maelle was getting annoying as well.

Not really sure how anon, it's by definition actually really far from being a JRPG compared to the recent final fantasies which are by definition pure JRPG's.

this
same way how kpop can only be made in korea by gooks

Lune is a nerd who has been homeschooled by super obsessive parents who care more about their job than family, and are most likely nerdy as shit as well. Lune literally had no social life outside of obsessing over work. She's 33 with no man or kids.
She would 100% talk like this.

This is a good post to illustrate what Anon Babble is like.

I thought that too. You didn't do wrong. It's a hard choice, and it makes you feel awful. But it's not the wrong one.

unless they have autism or didn't get the nerd beaten out of them in school

You have described Lune to a T

open thread to see this post

French "humor"

Still trying to kill God though.

Why the fuck does nobody use Lune's Typhoon
It's so good for buffing up your body and I never see any streamer touch it

just boughted deluxe edition. thanks anon

I also never see anyone use Lampmaster Light even though it easily carried me requiring any specific one-shot setup.

Healing is pointless, just parry everything.

For God's sake! Stop being such a damn sissy. Get up, you wanker!

It's not for the heal. It's to give your party 6 AP and all 3 buffs every turn.

The skill's tooltip says nothing about that. Probably why.

We get it, you're a racist. Frost your tips and throw on some G4 and hope that the brows and skanks will totally give you the time of day.

It was real. It was the worse ending though Alicia is completely corrupt.

That's because it happens with Luminas dummy. There's like 50 million "on heal, do this" passives.

Luna footjobs

think about it.

GOTY

it looks like a dark souls rip off

so a jrpg without any of the good parts and just the shitty combat

I use Verso, Monoco and Sciel. You cannot make me use anyone else

anon points to how she acts in the landing

literally right before this everyone going on the expedition was celebrating and she's sitting alone going over extrapolations of data from their culture's archives to see if she can find anything

game starts off where you're jumping from rooftops with a magical robot arm, with spires floating in the air, and a gigantic lady sleeping out on an island in the ocean

I can't- this city's population numbers just don't add up over the decades!

I somewhat agree the story kind of falls apart here and there but the gameplay is imo pretty good

where do I find gustav's french outfit? is it from one of the trader items that you need Sciel (other party members)?

Playing a Solo Lune rune and holy shit it's been super easy. Lightning Dance is insanely strong.

I cant take FFXVI seriously.

These people who are able to turn into giant destructive monsters are somehow being enslaved.

Also rape allegory comes off as edgy "please take me seriously " writing.

copypasta thread

fucking lame

I dont get it.
Isnt Gustave the only dude? Who is Verso?

mods indeed are niggers for leaving this shitty pasta thread up

You're right, it's still a JRPG

it's not made in japan

not having to hear

EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

KYAAAAAAAAAAAA

it can't be helped

is enough to already be better than every jrpg

incredible. Give me 25-35 hours of gameplay and a soundtrack of the year award

Based

"Cuustimze your coombos most work, make owwn playjstyle!1" is lefty unthinking nonsense

You tard

Japan.
is.
DEAD.

Keep playing the game.

I don't want "well written" I want games that feel like actual unapologetic games. Older generations understood that, newer generations are just written by failed millennial Hollywood wannabes. Game stories should have never tonally left the 3rd - 5th gen.

holy fpbp

nintendies still seething

it's okay it'll be on switch 2

I see. That sucks. I like Gustave.

Finally a JRPG without:

gay anime aesthetic

cringy tropes or Japanese "humor"

juvenile writing

braindead, tedious spreadsheet combat

digimon reject pile enemies and bosses

bland, empty overworld

full of padding and bloat

It's an actual well-written, mature, grounded story with compelling characters, challenging and engaging combat, memorable bosses, and a sense of adventure. Is that so much to ask for?

Everybody (except a few women) prefer Gustave. Not sure if this was expected or desired by the devs.

For women it goes

Gustave NOOO

Oh wow he's hot

IS THAT BEN STARR!?

Nooo Gustave come back it's not the same

this desu

Gustave is a physical manifestation of naivete, it dies and is replaced with grim realization

Zoomer
Legend of Dragoon and Lost odyssey have existed for years.

gay, go read erotica or something

Gustave: "We can save the world by defeating the paintress"

Verso: "none of this is real and the only way to save the player characters is to unmake the world"

why is there even an option to report spoilers when it doesn't do shit?

Same reason you can report low quality

cry bitch

announcing a report

OH NO NO NO NO NO NO

retard doesn't know what an announcement is

surprising

Only one was though, and they did it by basically threatening to murder children. Even if she stopped them, it takes a toll on them and they can't transform at will. Only when the plot conveniently allows for it. Joshua, Hugo, Barny, Dion and bird girl all weren't enslaved.

never said he did

Based, fuck tourist niggers.
Though I'm pretty sure this anti-japan sentiment being spread in these threads is just an attempt to make people hate this game. The game is extremely overrated though.

Everything about this game is copied from 20 year old japanese games.

you invited the tourists by letting this shit hole get hacked

Do you think Marche picked the Verso ending in his playthrough

Almost every single thing you said is wrong, but I felt similar halfway through Act 2 but came around to loving it

Actually you learn pretty early that the skill balance is terrible, and AP is one of the most important stats so you can consistently crank out the best attacks

Also different abilities have different damage types, number of hits, AoE, passive and active interactions, and synergy with character mechanics. In terms of strategy though, it's more about lumina optimization and your loadout.

And the best part of combat by far is not even the nitty gritty of the stats and spreadsheet shit, it's just the enemy and boss designs, the huge variety of attacks, and learning the timings. Strategy is definitely important, but it basically crumbles if you can't dodge and parry

based

dumbass

Enough talk about plot. How the fuck are you supposed to hit flying enemies without guns or parrying? This was not a problem until chromatic flying enemies showed up, now it is an insurmountable one. Should I be marking these things? Is it really that simple?

So the sequel will be about another one of the 5 set mediums, right? There is literally a painter vs writer thing going on.

Kino Agni

game has nothing good in it

Sorry, not playing.

Who knows, who cares.

end of the writers game revealed that it was a false flag setup by the musicians

he said rpgs, not a half-assed action game

everyone is a fake person and nothing fucking matters because it's basically all a dream of a schizophrenic woman

Nice story you have there bro.
I can't believe I fell for a Anon Babble recommendation again.

Its all relative, they are fully autonomous people.

dream

Not at all. If no one destroys the painting, they will live on forever just like normal people.

Bro that's like saying characters in a book will keep on living like we do until someone burns the book, it's fucking ridiculous.
I unironically lost interest in the game after I killed the paintress, not sure I'm gonna carry on with it until the end now.

It's like The Never Ending Story.
