Japan REFUSES to buy Expedition 33

let the JRPG genre stagnate for decade

French developed JRPG beats you thoroughly at your own game

throw a temper tantrum and refuse to buy it even though it's a masterpiece

Why are they so petty?

Why do people come on here and post screenshots of other sites? I am here to use Anon Babble, not Game Rant.

This, fuck OP
sage

discussing news le bad

Fuck off and kys newfag

Cry about it

Based, I'm American and doing the same, fuck Euros

You'd think they'd love it on account of all the frenchaboos

The land of JRPGs doesn't buy baby's first persona aliexpress clone with a literal easy mode that turns the game into a literal movie game by skipping gameplay segments.

Wonder why.
Looking how they had to brag about a million shipments rather than sales it looks like the rest of the world didn't buy this literal kike propaganda either.

From what I've seen from japanese comments online it's too hard for them, and they need a minimap or keep getting lost. Also, japan doesn't game on pc or play on anything but handhelds/phones.

Even on easy, E33 is harder than 90% of JRPGs. JRPGs are fucking braindead

The guy even holds a gun to his head in the first 15 minutes of the game

It won't blow up over there until the Switch 2 port.

Not shocking that the genuine article hates imitations

and they need a minimap or keep getting lost

Are they really this brainrotten by Atlus games? These niggas used to love games like Shadowhearts Covenant

English is a language for brutish retards, French is a language for faggots. This game is barely even playable with voice audio on

The student has surpassed the master, and now the master is pouting

The student has surpassed the master

LMAO

I think the real answer is the JRPG are the way they are because the japs are the way they are, an entire nation full of juvenile manchildren.

Tendiesisters, how do we cope?

JAR PIGS ARE GARBAGE
ORCS ARENT PIGS
Thats all.

Now let sakurajima explode

JRPGs are literally aimed at teenagers

OP is a bitch, gabriel machado pureza is a shlock writer who doesn't actually play the games he writes about, and isn't functional enough in Japanese or the japanese market, and is COMPLETELY making up bullshit, and GameRant is dumber than Kotaku. OP is similarly completely fucking making up bullshit.

This is the ACTUAL news article he cites..
famitsu.com/article/202505/41815

And another week for reference, so you can see what's a good week by comparison.
famitsu.com/ranking/game-sales

The numbers for the game is actually selling fine in japan, and is rated about 85%. Lower than the west but fine. PS5 game sales are really that fucking bad.

The name is also unpronouncable, so it's frequently being called なんとか33

Bingo. There are months when PS5 gets shut out completely from the Famitsu lists.

Probably advertising/begging.

It's sub kotaku class trash anon. If you want to have some pol vs weeb slapfight, you don't need an article to make up bullshit for you.

But is literally the only version besides Steam, do we have steam sales data in Japan only for E33?

Japs don't buy games outside of Nintendoslop and Dragon Quest/Monster Hunter(Their GTAs basically). It's a country full of shit tastes and gacha addicsts. Why do you care?

Japan is a bunch of fags now led by literal democrat commies who are copying everything UK did, including mass imigration right now to fix the low birth rates instead of getting rid of the retarded laws that protects boomers and forces you to work till you hero yourself on top of a kabukicho building

It's not a JRPG, it's a pale imitation of JRPGs, made by people who grew up playing them. It revels in all of the common JRPG tropes without understanding why those tropes work.

So what's the sales of E33 vs Persona 5?

French developed JRPG

You retards know JRPG stands for "Japanese role playing game" right? France can't make a Japanese game, it's a French game.

They probably don't buy it because all the shills lying that this game is in any way special are English language only.

It's JeRPG

literally 4th best selling game in Japan

Anti Japan seethe is real

LOOK MOM!!! LOOK!! I POSTED IT AGAIN!!!!

Just shut the fuck up retard

Japanese nerds are basically nationalists

That's why I love Japan, nationalists like we Americans, fuck the rest of you.

op is going to be seething over this game for years to come

The game has made OP it's bitch.

not tendie trash

not gachashit

It had no hope anyways. Japs haven't bought shit other than that + monhun in the past 10 years

I only like this game because it's not on a nintendo

lol

Idea Factory were and are still in business despite them having a viscerally negative reputation there since their literal first game, so it's obviously not a matter of quality.

Words having meaning faggot, get over it.

The gameplay, plot and soundtrack help too

Japanese nerds are basically nationalists so that was never going to happen.

Why do you say that like its a bad thing? Why can't whites do the same thing? It will be glorious!

based

Jap Gamers are huge retard shitbabies. The RPG fans moreso than most. The "normie" jap gamer has ABHORRENT tastes. At least western normi3s occasionally lock onto absolute bangers like Elden Ring or BG3.

news

How on Earth is that even newsworthy? How does it benefit me in any capacity to know that this game sold a particular amount of units in one particular country, am I the dev team?

BC they get no views any other way lmao

in this case they're right at least. E33 is slop getting shilled here hard.

Based Japs, fuck these western woke games journos try to shill on us.
I only see people who never played JRPGs liking this game.

Nope. E33 is pvre sovl

Meanwhile in the real world, top selling game for the 3rd consecutive week.

Post the actual news, then. OP posted a screenshot of an article which links to another article, which then links to the actual source. Then you'd actually get past the clickbait and see the actual situation

I have E33 but never fired it up. Should I play in English or French?

I played Sekiro in Japanese because Anon Babble told me to, it was good advice and now when I hear Sekiro in English it sounds weird and shitty. Is E33 the same way?

Japan actually likes Expedition 33

So is OP is just a hater that wants people to hate the Japanese by spreading lies about them?

Not a jrpg

only 9K sales

You should pretty much always go with native language.

I like both the English and the French dubs. I think that this is highly subjective. You should try both versions.

pretty much. We've known for weeks the game's physical version was sold out everywhere in Japan, hell, the whole world for that matter. Don't think the devs or publishers expected a hit of this magnitude

jrpgs are gonna change!

People who play jrpgs ignore it

LOL

Adding action elements to turn based RPGs is a huge mistake.
Go play your shitty souls-like or Zelda if you don't like the genre.
This kind of shit that ruined Atelier and Fairy Tail 2.

my house

French is better.

The acting is equivalent but the game is about French people. Play it in French for the authentic vibe and the superior lipsync

You should have seen the Japanese comments for the Baldurs Gate 3 PS5 release. Every single one of them comment on how the game is very difficult and is very easy to get lost

there's no french lip sync, the game was written and recorded in english first. And english VA is vastly superior

t. french

You literally couldn't be more wrong. They will let their country die before that level of politics is reached in Japan

What does death stranding 2 have to do with this?

Based, Japan. Don't buy this overrated le drama story garbage.

Can you imagine if the English would literally assault you if you made a statement of fact about the House of Windsor in front of, like saying that the king is severely inbred? Japanese nationalism is doing that but with the imperial family. Even if you're "based and tradpilled" you should think it's the retarded kind of nationalism.

we are the le objective racist

I cant play jrpgs because they are "too japanese" that's why this thing i made is better

lol

actually 1st. See

How the fuck, my friend gifted a copy of BG3 to his 30-yo normie sister who has never played anything besides The Sims and she was able to figure the game out no problem
Are Japs really this retarded?

Yes. Shithead article writer looked at famitus sales reports and made shit up completely.

They've restocked. It's still selling--but at normal PS5 game levels.

No. They ALSO play wizardry type games with no built in mapping. It's more about conventions and expectations.

CRPGs are a completely foreign genre to most gamers there or the average casual. Worse still, its probably one of the worst possible games to try and make a mobile version of until they port the console release to Switch 2.
Video reviews frequently comment on the complexity of the controls (gamepad), even though the gamepad controls are really good, and how normal difficulty is too hard and its recommended to do easy mode. Also the sheer amount of choices that can be made is "stressful".

If they've restocked physical copies, I'm not seeing them in NA.

insult japan and mock JRPGs for decades

some half-assed western copy of a JRPG gets made

the same people who spent years shitting on JRPGs bend over backwards to praise western slop

Japan are king cucks and buy it anyway and 9K units still put it in position 4 on

I mean, the PS5 is a massive flop in Japan, and don't even let me get started with the absolute state of Xbox there.
People in Japan who are interested in it will get it on Steam, but while it has grown in recent years, PC gaming is still relatively niche there.

I could see it selling well down the line if they unironically do a Switch 2 port with a Japanese dub and a specific marketing push for the region.

getting mogged by a year old mario party game

Completely untrue

.t completely fluent french speaker

The PS5 isn't as much of a flop as it is Japan simply embracing digital because they have a lack of space, and continuing to embrace mobile gaming further

every piece of data proves that claim wrong
japan is still firmly a physical media market

No. They ALSO play wizardry type games with no built in mapping

No, shut-in otaku nerds do that. Normie japs play mobile gacha slop and Final Fantasy on easy mode.

french is my native language, the acting in french is over the top as it is in many dubs, english is way more natural.

I'm pretty sure japs were huge Frogaboos. You'd think they'd be all over this

The PS5 isn't as much of a flop

I may have fallen for Nintendo fan propaganda, but it seems the PS5 has yet to outpace the fucking Wii U in sales during the same timeframe.

gloating with a 1 to 2 percent difference in the 90's range

To people really?

imagine if they had squeenix AAAA budget

there are simply no physical copies in japan, the clair obscur thread is still one of the most active in 5ch

It's not a bing bing wahoo nintendo game so of course gook trannies don't like it

Ouiaboo. The term is ouiaboo.

Looking how they had to brag about a million shipments rather than sales

You're getting your shit posting material mixed up.

the acting in french is over the top as it is in many dubs

Nonsense. It's great and you're retarded.

native

I'm pretty sure 12 years of french immersion schooling and living in a country with French as an official language qualifies me to have an opinion. The acting is excellent, you're a retard.

Kek. Never seen the term before. That's pretty good

they're still suffering from paris syndrome

It's action in the same way the Mario and Luigi games are. Turn based but you can add more damage or dodge by pressing at the right time

First Post Best Post.

Who gives a shit what those degenerate slants think

that consensus came after playing them

not a real turn based game despite being advertised and disguised as one

dumb nihilistic messaging [33] number used in satanic freemasonry still a total fly over sheep’s heads

gay dark souls campfire system

kills off the most compelling character within the first couple hours

removes basic game mechanics like a mini map for sake of being pretentious as most French people are

abrupt and out of place comedy on the level of Disney made by and for retards

hallway simulator level design

dumb gimmick mechanic for each character

game has guns that are for the most part useless and feels terrible to use

stupid ap system you have to constantly build up which is boring and tedious just to do moves

parry and dodge poorly implemented just to force engagement with stupid enemy attacks that are wind ups and fake outs and get to do long combos for no reason other than artificial difficulty.

blatantly ripping off game that were better in the past playing it off as “inspiriation” or a “tribute”

This game is total shit

It's an AI, numbnuts

how new.ru

focusing in on the normie faggot "33" bullshit while ignoring that "Clair Obscur" itself is a highly luciferian idea and deals with ideas of illunimation and darkness

Anyways game's fuckin' dank and it doesn't try to present any Satanic ideals as positive or desirable.

artificial difficulty

lol you absolute shitter

JRPG is a style of game. There are western developed JRPGs just like there are japanese made RPGs that aren't JRPGs (like Dark Souls)

Pedophile

Parryslop, Japan

D:

Parryslop, France

:D

The characters look like they come from a weg dude

removes basic game mechanics like a mini map for sake of being pretentious as most French people are

This is the only real point you made. God willing it gets fixed by a mod

>let the JRPG genre stagnate for decade

I'm loving Exped 33 but you're a fucking retard
Atlus consistently reinvent their wheel and there are other fantastic things like Octopath

Filtered

Also the sheer amount of choices that can be made is "stressful".

This is Asia in a nutshell
Why didnt they develop souls over there?

The director said the game would never be made at a AAA studio.
