ANON, DODGE

I wish I used those gradient charge luminas and pictos some more, I barely got to see the moves.

They are really good for endgame bossess. Gommage had double the pre-nerf damage of Stendhale

shills never post actual screenshots of the game because its all menus

its always just obscure cropped pictures of the pedo bait

Catch phrase is literally "Don't die, Gustave!"

bad faith fags out on full force early today

Gustave would have killed the painters, especially Alicia for overwriting Maelle. No mercy for changelings.

The game is fucking beautiful bro

Problem is I can just start with Stendahl instead of spending more turns building up gradient attacks. This was especially true with Simon whose phase 2 was too much for me so I had to one shot him.

I didn’t get Gommage cause I lied to Maelle but I thought it was thematically kino so I have no regrets

Do... people really use English VAs for this? C'est Horrible

I'm french and the english VA is better by far.

Turn based game has menus

What the fuck were they thinking?

I'm also gay and I also agree that the english voices are better

As someone who speaks japanese I can say the English voices are better.

final mission starts

the heavy metal version of "Une vie e t'amier" kicks in

Ok, game, at this point you are allowed to have a cheesy Avengers moment.

Maelle refusing to let people rest in peace because the way they died was "unfair" is exactly what avengers endgame did too

Finesse
and
Precision!

Now it's time to hit
BIG!

Only time I ever used this useless eyes wide open 24/7 cunt is when the game forced me to. Others are just so much better

It's funny how much I grew to like her after the Act 3 reveal. At first I just kept dismissing her as a whiny brat with a cliche backstory, and too many "le chosen one" flags. Sure, her real backstory is still arguably a cliche, but suddenly she feels much more sympathetic.

Enemy goes for Verso

Maelle yells "Verso...DODGE!"

I actually start dodging even though I wanted to parry

Am I autistic?

Party member voice barks actually come in handy sometimes, when enemies do a sucked punch attack occasionally.

don't play or level maelle because I heard shes broken and I want balanced expirience

fighting last floor of the tower

almost killed the boss

my team is wiped

only maelle left

she deals final blow

I kneel, this is her game

I played the French dub.

Baldur's and Gate!

pedo bait

How is a sexually mature 16 year old bait for people attracted to prepubescent children?

I used her constantly because fencing is beautiful

Even the French can't get rapier hilts right

Jesus fucking christ.

the little loli wrecks everything though...

Alicia vs Painted Alicia is actually a cute and kino mirror fight.
At that point I wanted her to become a party member, but the game decided to be dramatic about it.

not "Finesse and... PRECISION"

ngmi

I wish we had a Gustave so we could give Verso and Monoco their new beginnings.

I hope both Jennifer English and Ben Starr get nominated for the TGA, it would be very funny considering the endings of this game

Gustave, parry!

Is actually a party attack

Fail to parry because I was focusing on a single party member

yeah fuck you

I got too strong and oneshot that boss. The scaling in this game is wack.

Gustave, parry!

It's actually a jump attack

I really hopes this game gets the shitton of GOTY awards, because it deserves it.
If it gets snubbed, I am losing my faith in humanity.

Gustave would have clawed his way out of the painting and immediately be killed by Clea

Gustave would probably find the way for painted people to get full admin rights.

Kojimbo will win. It's shit but a least the memes will be fun

Her voice lives rent free in my head

I think Clair Obscur is going to crush this year's TGAs. If only it's a good PR move to bet on an indie underdog. It sends a good message.

I wouldn't be surprised if Death Stranding 2 took a couple

Buy his wine.

English is the intended language.
Source: the games end credits.

just post the lewd mods already bro

Source

The fact Esquie's VA, who voices the character in both languages, stated he based the FR voice on the EN one confirming one took precedence over the other.

devs still drinking while working

stop this shit and start making the DLC you lazy frogs

Makes sense. He probably heard the english one and realized he couldn't possibly top it.

Or a new game.
The obsession with dlc nowadays is poison.

Ok, game, at this point you are allowed to have a cheesy Avengers moment.

Same feeling i had. When the regent jumps in im like cheesey but still good lol.

I remember the days of rebelling against horse armor. Who knew that people would not only accept DLC, but even start BEGGING for it and EXPECTING it.

It's based until you realize it's an addict protecting her stash.

yeah i choose versos ending but still the music during final fight was top tier.

Go back to bouncing on Renoir's cock, Verso.

I remember the days of rebelling against horse armor. Who knew that people would not only accept DLC, but even start BEGGING for it and EXPECTING it.

You never heard of expansion packs? Frozen Throne, AoM The Titans, Generals Zero Hour. DLCs are not inherently bad, horse armor was just a cynical cash grab.

Verso's just seething that Julie betrayed.

oh noooo my gf realized I lied about everything noooo don't heckin torturemaxx me aieeeee

Expansion packs weren't expected, they were nice additions to already-complete games. These days it seems like people feel games MUST have DLC to make them worth the purchase.

god i wish i were him

These days it seems like people feel games MUST have DLC to make them worth the purchase.

I doubt many people actually think that way, if you look at achievement stats of various games, DLC content tends to have much lower engagement

tits jiggle

dick jiggle

wtf is wrong with these degenerate devs

tfw Clea will never look at you with pure disdain

Why live?

Exactly. People act like DLC was some modern invention when we had full-blown expansions that were practically sequels back in the day. The difference is they used to feel like a bonus, not like missing puzzle pieces to a $70 game. Horse armor just became infamous because it was the tipping point when the industry realized players would pay for cosmetic garbage.

Sad deflated tits.

The game doesn't need DLC, maybe some new bosses or something like that. Hire more people and start the 2nd game right fucking now.

rewatching verso reading alicia letter

dlc will have third ending

Alicia read the letter.
It was never going to mean anything, that's why it's a life to dream.
And there can't be a perfect ending in this game because Alicia won't stop using it to cope

NO.
It's:

FINISH DE GRASS

Maelle is a pothead.

Better take up wr*ting then.

Alicia, you bitch, you failure, you traitor to the family name, you filthy wrigger, I'll force your face into the fire myself for what you've done

What did Aline mean by this?

Verso was at least willing to pretend to be grateful about abandoning his passion for music to take up the family business, so he was mama's favorite. Alicia loved re*ding and wr*ting, so her relationship with her mother was doomed from the start.

I need a spin-off Clea dating sim

beat expedition 33, pretty good

have been away from Anon Babble and computer for about a week while vacationing

come back

Anon Babble is still talking about this shit

Jesus christ move on already, find a new FOTM you french weirdos.

Played it with French audio, because all english va's deserve to be executed. Never had this problem.

This game is going the way of Nier A Tomato, so get used to it, bitch.

I was 90% expecting her to become the sixth party member

People are still working their way through the post-game and realizing what that Clea is the perfect woman

can't stand the French language
sounds like someone trying to suck on a bellend

I dressed Alicia up like painted Alicia so I can at least pretend I've upgraded

reminder that Lune, Sciel, Monoco, Esqie, the gestrels, hell even bring back everyone killed like gustave and everyone renoir gommaged like sophie and all the other painted world inhabitants could have all lived long and fulfilling lives, as well as their descendants for the next 1000 years - a true happy ending, if Alicia wasn't such a fucking ADDICT BITCH making Renoir have to delete it as soon as she's out / verso delete it from the inside.

They would have needed to find a way to shoehorn in a 3rd version of her so I could have a full Alicia team.

It's not synced in French, yet it's still better VA delivery.
The english actors are fine, but their delivery is off because of some reason in the studio I think. English is completely different to French cadence so the English VA comes off uncanny as fuck. I think the actors are saying lines that are weird to say in english and it shows big time. It flows so much better in French.

He tried talking to Aline, you know.
Except she made herself a brand family and the only way to get her out of the painting is kicking and screaming.
Which is exactly what happened.

One week is nothing

the heavy metal version of "Une vie e t'amier" kicks in

Ok, game, at this point you are allowed to have a cheesy Avengers moment.

wait a minute this post.. nice picture normaltard, hilarious comment coming from someone that watches t.v. unironically

What I am supposed to do on the black and white painting?
also when do I get the wimmsuits for the girls? is it all act 3?

kermit sewersline tiktok dance parry the nog fr ong

are any of the frozen heart weapons any good? that shit is expensive as fuck

Finish game

Two endings

No "good" ending

k i n o

Lune: Act 1
Sciel: Act 2 & 3
Maelle: Act 3

on the black and white painting

If you mean Painting Workshop areas, there's 3 of them, you talk with the boy npc, get an item, use the item at the statue and once you do it 3 times you can fight a boss
last area is chapter 3 only

We're gonna be bickering about these endings for months because Maelle choosers can't accept that she dies of thirst after 3 days.

Man, I have so many weapons I don't know what to use on Verso.
Any suggestions besides the dualiso?

Contorso once you get Cheater for shootan, Tireso for skill damage in Act 3
You literally don't need anything else and only absolute retards would recommend something like Chevalam

Something I still don't understand about the game's main plot twist. What was the point of erasing the people with a declining age ticker? Why not just wipe the canvas?

Because that's what Renoir wanted to do but Aline was slowing him down thus the yearly Gommage

Dualiso loses its usefulness as soon as you get the Cheater picto from beating Sprong, since the extra turns don't stack.

Personally my Verso is just an AP battery who does part-time DPS. Contorso is my favourite one because of the extra damage on crits (and how easy it is to have 100 crit).

The timer is an indication of Aline's power to protect her creations weakening. Renoir is the one erasing people.

gorillions of skills to use

haven't used anything but fleuret fury and mezzo forte for 90% of the game

I used Chevalam with Cheater for insta S-rank Steeled Strike, but I also experimented with Nosaram and AP gaining pictos for 40 Free Aim hits in one round into that move where damage increases with each Free Aim shot you took that turn

Get Lune in your party and give her the weapon that gives 5% Gradient on critical hits, then use her lightning kick attack that does a bunch of hits. Enjoy your full gradient bar every turn.

Get Lune in your party

if you give me a 4th party slot, no force in this world will convince me to bench Sciel

I just spam base attacks with burn stacking then use spam maelle's canvas burn after
It works pretty good

Three slots if plenty for Lune, Maelle, and Sciel. Or you can bench Maelle for a while since you seem tired of her.

Maelle is 32
16 years of life 1 after the other.

modern art style

Pure gape.

I don't like how you have 5 party members when the game encourages you to use your bench if you wipe. But I was thinking that having a single party member as my "main party" with 4 benchers would mean that I get two backups: a full 3-party wave, followed by another single-party wave. This would let me use the "solo" pictos on my first and last lines. But is this how it would actually work? And how does the game determine who your first "wave" is when you have 4 backups?

Lickable belly though

I just started playing now, fully intending to play with French audio, but after comparing them, the English is definitely better. Top quality game so far, for anyone thinking of picking it up

retard mutt confond art style and rendering

kek like poetry

She is legally allowed to receive my dear penis now. Yay!

how do you get 40 free aim hits?

I'm talking about the art style retard. Your pic focuses on art style not rendering techniques and rendering flaws.

kek, your supidity is sweet and delicious

The random French word makes me cringe. Especially near the end, the way Maelle says "Papa"

Yeah, she is a 32 year old that never walled.
Also I started NG+ and you get all your characters? I also missed the mime in paris again.Too busy clicking on bins.

How do I sciel and monocco? had those guys benched for like 20 hours and I'm thinking about giving them a try.

Well then you are a complete retard because it doesn't have a modern artstyle. The artstyle is a mix of Art Deco (early 1900s), Art Nouveau (late 1800s) and fantasy.

From one French person to another, why do you feel this way? I haven't played the game yet, but it makes me curious.

Is it not natively translated? Are there aspects and contexts that become lost in translation? I assumed it to be much like Wakfu in that it should be enjoyed in its native language for completion.

There's a picto that gives you a chance to gain 1 ap per shit, another that gives you 2 ap when clearing a mark and another that gives you 1 ap everytime you get ap basically doubling the ap you get. I'm sure there are a some other pictos I forgot about that makes it easy to stack ap.

art can be reduced to a puerile algebraic operation of the type x + y = z

the dev's specific interpretation of this reductionist mix can't be modern

Yep, you're retarded.

The game was written in french originally, then rewritten in english because the lead writter is chinese. The director is french but has good english so it wasn't a problem to write in english.

The game didn't originally have a french VA for budgets reasons. So when they recorded the mocap sessions, they used french actors but they were talking in english.
That's why the lipsync is slightly better in english.

There are pictos that give you bonus AP on popping marks or applying burn (once per turn) or just hitting free aim shots (although that one only has 20% chance to proc) and a picto that gives you 1 bonus AP every time time you gain AP. The idea is to stack all of these and theoretically you can get more AP endlessly depending on your luck. Some turn you will only make 15 shots before running out, others 40 or 50

I just unlocked her. How do I use her.

Sciel has an ability called "intervention" that makes it immediately Maelle's turn and gives her 4AP. You just use that repeatedly.

cute

any other use beside being a buffslut?
I turned Verso from buffslut to damage dealer, can I do the same with sciel too?

How do I sciel

asset flip: the game

to tell you the truth, art director did amazing job with what he could find in asset store. Normies seem to think this game has coherent art style.

Behold. 8GB of ram is definitely not enough. It runs fine on medium, but just barely. Made the mistake of getting a laptop thinking i could move and use it for work too. Big mistake

shitbox.png - 680x728, 33.4K

Gradient Attacks almost felt tacked on. The only level 3 I used was Monoco's, but I also rarely got to him. Maelle just one shotted every single enemy in the game except Simon.

I found the English VAs too huffy and melodramatic. And there was almost too much gain.
I've played AC Valhalla in French and it's by far superior. I'm starting to enjoy French VAs over American. They let guys talk deeper and women speak without the retarded anime whimpering.

It makes sense in relation to the rest of her body. A far worse example is a "hot" GTAVI girl, which literally takes me out of the game, and not take it seriously.

with correct luminas even Simon and even with the recent Stendhal nerf, she is ridiculously OP

with your pp

The game was written in french originally, then rewritten in english because the lead writter is chinese.

Allahu snackbar strats are so funny

NTA but english VAs are more talented (in this particular game, I'm not saying in general). And hearing them trying to pronounce merde or putain or maman is fun.
Also lipsync is english-based.
I tried both and switched mid-playthrough so I'm not making baseless assumptions

Chation

Enjoy because they will definitely nerf it into oblivion alongside Delaying Slash

you equip the weapon that lets you trivialize the foretell mechanic and then you deal billions of damage
all you really need to know is to apply foretell before playing any moon card skills and even that stops mattering as you start hitting damage cap

I fully believe you, thank you for telling me of this !
I am excited to play it, but I admit that I am disappointed that English is also the "true, authentic" way of playing ! But it is whatever, so fuck it. I will play it this week !

KINO

I'm a 3060 actually and I get some fine enough inconsistent 40-60 on medium settings

Gommage does way, way more than Stendahle

Maelle's level 1 was useful for getting her back into Virtuose for free.

You forgot, inspired by JRPGs too

No, it's possible for girls with lithe body types to have small tits that aren't sad and deflated.

Verso's soul was also tired and wanted to end it, so it's not just Renoir wanting to burn the canvas.

Linke one asset show on pictures shitposting nigger.

time to hit BIG

2 LUNES? 4 FEET???

not french but the french dub is better. english sciel with her english accent sounds too formal considering her easygoing nature. for maelle they have that garbage shadowheart VA. french maelle her FINESSE ET GRACE is cute. also the hurt lines of the girls are nice >ne pas bien. french verso is also better at sounding quiet and tortured, although i think some lines of english verso are quite good as well.

MAXIMUM DAMAGE

let's spill some ink!

I really liked edgelord Maelle before Act II

Okay thanks Grimsby.

4 FEET

Four feet

forfeit

Truly a french game. Bravo!

deflated.

Why are deflated tits so common when the woman has big breasts?

IMO, English Monoco is better though. His ridiculously deep, serious voice really contrasts with the goofy shit he keeps saying. It's as if Gandalf was on crack.
Franch Monoco doesn't sound as funny.

I was completely on Maelle's side before her final confrontation with Renoir. His argument completely convinced me over to his side. Not sure that's ever happened in another videogame before

It's funny, because Renoir doesn't even have an argument. It's Alicia that has a good argument when she asks him to what exactly should she return to.

People will torture themselves with the Fr*ch language just to avoid English.

I was on Renoir's side the second they revealed the world isn't real desu. I'd rather just play as him at this point.

It's usually a sign that they're big from fat tissue rather than breast tissue. Breast tissue has a spongy structure and holds its shape, while fat tissue tends to have very little structure and shape. The more breast tissue a woman has, the more her breasts will hold a nice shape, while breasts that are primarily fat will end up droopy and deflated looking. There's a whole spectrum of balance between the two and exactly how the fat deposits are placed around the breast tissue will make a difference, too, but those are the basics.

AIslopper is easily convinced to believe anything

imagine my shock

t. Alicia

her "painter" ability is mogged hard by her "writer" ability

what did they mean by this?

is it me or the main story is actually pretty short? felt like I spent more time on act 2 doing side stuff than doing the actual story

Fuck, I thought they had to already have foretell before card weaver would spread it. I didn't realize it just puts foretell on everyone all the time.

sure thing, shillnigger

His argument was "I need my wife to come back to me, I want us to be a family again"
Perfectly reasonable

It actually is. It's not a very long game if you just stick to the main content.

ANGART

you can easily beat the whole game in 30 hours or less. It's short and sweet if you don't want to do the side/post-game stuff

Yes, but that's what Renoir wants. Keep in mind that in real world Alicia is a mute, PTSD-stricken, disfigured cripple. Real world has nothing to offer her and Renoir is not helping disprove that by dismissing her arguments outright.

post game stuff

how much content is after the final boss? I'm on act 2 (monolith) and wondering if I just want to rush whatever I have left since I killed the 2 big nevrons before easily, I think I'm already a bit OP.

You should do the character quests before going for the final boss in act 3.
Maelle's is basically essential

Neither of them is wrong necessarily, but the Maelle ending is pretty much objectively the worse outcome anyway

how hard is it to find those side missions?

The entire challenge tower, a bunch of dungeons and entire Clea subquest. But leave that for later. In Act 3 just focus on companion quests and then finish the game. Otherwise, you'll be overlevelled and you'll anticlimatically clown on the final boss and miss the spectacle.

Talk to them at the camp as much as you can, it's that simple.
The start of act 3 will give you a plot mandatory camp session, so you need to camp manually after that in order to unlock them. But that's it.

You talk to them in your camp and they literally mark the spot on the minimap.
Everyone except Sciel has a brand new location/quest, sciel just gets dialogue.

I don’t even know what I’m looking at in most of those shots. Why is there so much random debris just hovering everywhere?

Truke

sciel just gets dialogue.

Jaden.jpg - 701x1117, 119.86K

once you hit act 3, only do the character quests, then go DIRECTLY to the final area. Trust me, if you do any other side stuff you'll become insanely overpowered and one shot the final boss

but the Maelle ending is pretty much objectively the worse outcome anyway

Yes, but you can't really say her reasoning is wrong.
To be fair, I did have a very hard time picking the ending. Emotionally, I was with Maelle, even though I knew this was a worse outcome, but reason kept telling me to be responsible and go with Verso. But in the heat of the moment I would've gone with Maelle, because I understand her point of view all too well.

It's pretty meaty and she gets a fucking bath scene with verso.

Yeah, Maelle's sidequest is pretty good, especially that boss fight.
Monoco's also pretty good and lulzy.

I thought I was done with the game and then I found the flying manor, holy kino by far my favorite bossfight in the game. Also how the fuck did they managed to put this much content in the game? Clea's dungeon is big

120250541618.jpg - 3840x2160, 485.89K

Ignore people telling you to go straight to the final boss, just turn off the damage cap remover before you fight him.

Clea! Don’t Pull Your Sister’s Hair!

Why is she like this?

I killed one of the white nevrons, did I locked myself out of a cheevo or getting the 100%?

she's trying to get dad attention
