Why didn't he join Expedition 34

and maybe succeed so that his gf can stay alive?

He had his apprentices to care for, and his Lumina Converter to work on. For all we know his invention only worked during this last year.

play the game dumbass, its explained in the opening

He didn't care that much for the bitch because she denied his legacy

he stopped talking to her until the day of her death so she felt guilty for not having kids
what a fucking chad

It's implied he only got the converter working relatively recently since they talk about how it hadn't been tested much.

unless Maelle went with him he wouldn't have

The Lumina Converter wasn't finished yet. Joining an expedition like that would be more retarded than suicide.
Being able to use Lumina gave Expedition 33 a massive edge over all previous expeditions.

he was painted as a crutch for maelle so of course he would go when she did so he could die and verso could enter the picture

Should have gone to the gym instead.

a massive edge over all previous expeditions.

In getting murdered and having verso kill the more dangerous nevrons meanwhile.

Then just finish it earlier.

t. wonders why game consoles weren't invented in the 1700s

Aiiieee my iq drops this year I must wait until gf is effaced before the machine works

>t. keepis wondering why game consoles weren't invented in the 1700s

he had a gf?

painted by whom? aline? that doesnt make sense why would her mom paint him before even knowing alicia would enter the canvas.

i like the "Writers created him" theory but its not a real theory i dont think lol

Did you speedrun the Prologue?

No, and thus I know that they had broken up

And yet your brain can't put 2 and 2 together with OP's wording? wew lad

they had broken up

So he had a gf. Are you dumb?

Man this game was like one giant fuck you to Gustave. He dies this new asshole comes out of nowhere steals the girls even taking the brother position with Maelle from him. The whole game no longer gives a fuck about saving Lumiere replacing it with a pyscho family's drama and shits on the "for those who come after" by making the restoring Lumiere the "bad" ending.

shits on the "for those who come after

Someone didn't get the true meaning of that and who it ended up being directed to

Your seething and gaslighting didn't work in previous threads, it won't work on this one either

We’re in le toybox!

How to ruin in the story in one single line, color me subverted. How did none of the other staff prevent such a story suicide?

Nu lumiere has no future lmao, when maelle dies it's all over. Nobody is coming after

Because non-retards get how kino it is, which is why you'll always be in the minority

Yeah I felt it was a big bait and switch too. Devs nowdays don't respect the players, it's all about the subversion and engagement in social media.

Honestly agreed, the expedition story was kino and it's irrelevant after act 2

Devs nowdays don't respect the players

Do you hear yourself, talking like a fucking Twitter journo?

Verso lost to the fucking Duelist, without the Lumina converter he was just an immortal jobber

Verso lost to the fucking Duelist

No.

I talk however I want

How do I turn off this shit Ai upscaling shot that is eating all my inputs. Also fuck this beach volleyball shit, how do you kill the Hardest nigger when all he does is spam fast dudes down the middle and slow dudes down the sides so you get killed during recharge

ah yes surely the true meaning coming from the guy who said "the future of lumiere is more important that any individual life" was talking about destroying lumiere so a few people could deal with their grief better.

Won't change that fact, fren

the guy who said "the future of lumiere is more important that any individual life"

Wait until you realize he couldn't actually answer Lune and instead deflected with "I hope I believe what you're asking I need to believe". Gustave would 100% force Alicia out the canvas.

If he knew that her leaving the canvas would result in lumiere and everyone in it being destroyed I'm not so sure.

the future of lumiere is more important that any individual life

Should have listened to himself instead of risking his life and his super important tech gadget only to die in front of his faux-sister leaving her traumatized and the party without the only advantage they had.

Sounds like you don't deserve to be respected since you genuinely don't understand or appreciate the story being told here.

It’s not kino, it’s a stupid banal family quarrel when the game was marketed as an epic fantasy exploration of a mysterious continent. It’s not clever writing in the slightest.

Minimize movement, stay in the front middle as much as possible even while aiming diagonally so you don't waste time running around as much. Don't shoot too early before they're over the enemy platform.
Yes it's still a fucking pain and will take several attempts even if you know all the tips but the Sciel butt is worth it.

The journal for Expedition 34 suggests he hadn't finished building the lunina converter at the time they left.

You seem to be confused by tenses.

He’s right :/

Wasn't his gf at the time, they were broken up, also he fucking dies anyways. Good luck succeeding without Maelle

Wait till you get to the last beach, it's basically just all luck.

I feel like i could do it if he only shot them down the side, but as soon as he does side and mids in combo, the cd isn't long enough to hit all 3

A part of it is just RNG and getting lucky enough that he throws a bunch on one side in a row rather than switching up too much

I finally did it, thanks for the tips and encouragement anons! It's just pure luck I swear. The buttons have to respond, your cooldowns have to be active at the exact right time, you have to land hits in the exact center of your cone, you have to angled perfectly. It's so fucked.

go ahead and write something then. oh i forgot--you arent allowed to reference Astrobot (your favorite game)

These are such lame excuses to what is one of the more consistent criticisms of the story. Literally everyone understands what the story is about and what it's trying to say. Stop acting like the story is more profound or deeper than what it is, its writing is about on par with the average FF game (and thats being generous). people saying that the world feels worthless because its all a setup for the escapist question is too common to just ignore. Its a storytelling issue, not a matter of who's more educated or gigabrain enough to "get" it

Gustave is the GOAT (Gustave of all time)

Ok how about this: you explore a mysterious and dangerous continent to stop a calamity seemingly caused by some paintress. You kill her and it stops, but you still have to accept the loss of your loved ones she caused and rebuild your devastated society.

It's frustrating but it's not "pure luck"

The gestrals come at a steady tempo that has just enough time for your attack animation to refresh and to step towards the next gestral. If you time the first volleyball right you're on pace to hit EVERY one as long as you don't fuck up

Getting hit with left/right/left/right/left/right is aids though

It's frustrating but it's not "pure luck"

I know, I know, I'm just frustrated and being hyperbolic lol

Should I be exploring these other areas off the beaten track? I found this tree root monster that kills you in 4 turns automatically that I can get to like 30% health before I wipe.

How about Gustave stays the protagonist the entire game and has to confront at the end he is just an artificial creation and nothing he does meant anything. So he has to decide between giving up his life for some family drama or living with the knowledge he wasn't real, but he is real to himself, he is real to his family, to his apprentices, and they were real to him

What if you freeze someone at absolute zero so they don't age

its another cropped image of a main character

never posts actual gameplay or screenshots

just random shills shilling their main character to try to force people to remember their completely forgettable indieslop from goypass

funded by china for 120 million

couldnt manage to muster up the creativity to make one memorable scene or moment from your 50 hour JRPG knock off stealing everything and accomplishing nothing

>funded by china for 120 million

We need more China funded games

sure lined the pockets of the celebrity voice actor, too bad they couldnt be bothered to hire an actual environmental artist apparently

if you like this "game" youre a tranny

So the problem is the VAs now?

the voice actors are one of the better parts of the game homeslice

But enough about stillbirth

everyone is getting killed year-by-year for the last 60+ years

I won't bother having children instantly I'll just fuck around, dump Gustave and then ack at 33

Female moment

Should have fetched some water instead of crummy lumina creatures.

Lumina Converter wasn't ready.
33 was the first to use it

He doesn't come out of nowhere, retard friends. He was right there when Gustave died and did nothing about it, because he thought him dying would help him achieve his goals.

Devs nowdays don't respect the players

Wouldn't respect you either.
