"Expedition 33 is the new gold standard for the JRPG."

Expedition 33 is mechanically close to jRPGs but the characters, the world and the narratives are nothing like the ones you can get in a jRPG.

who gives a shit as long as the en product is good ?
legit question

Does the J in JRPG stand for Juvenile or Jewish? Because Exposition 33 doesn't seem Japanese at all...

Yeah they're much better than the infantile trash gooks keep pumping out

LOL retarded tranny hater. The games already sold 2 million copies at 40$ + an unknown amount of gains from goypass.

Remember when Square received 150 million from Sony and Rebirth still flopped?

this game is so fucking overrated, it might be shilled more then even palworld of wu kong was at the time.

It's a lot better than Palworld and Wu Kong.

You're brown ahahah

tranny hater

I loved the game my dude. It's not selling nearly as much as it should be.

not JRPG
JRPG isn't a genre, it's a product of a (japanese) culture

i'm white, but i dont want to play westaboo slop.

Why do shitposters about this gaem all have the mandatory ESL syntax?

star ocean did this concept in 2004 fuck off

is this what shills have resorted to now? calling anyone that doesnt suck this games dick a brown third worlder?

nobody was born on 2004 and prior so no one played your game

2.7M

that fucking nothing LMAO
why is Anon Babble so desperate to hate the game to the point of using commie arguments?

That's literally what you are though.

these buckbroken fags have to cope somehow

because it's true. anyone with a soul (aka a white male) would understand that the game is kino.

Just look at your writing for God's sake. There is no way brown hands didn't type these words.

Why would pajeets shill a french game? You're just a seething third worlder

is this gonna be the new "BG3 is a chinese conspiracy" schizo posting ?

gold standard

That's the classic Final Fantasy games.

shitbirth sisters...

gamers really, really need to read books
literally every other aspect of this game outside of the story is a 6 or 7

Having rich parents is cool, you leftist fag

holy fuck dude was right. 3 replies in the span of a minute. whats the company called and how can I get hired? Is it netease?

It's not selling nearly as much as it should be.

New IP from a new studio and publisher who only releases low budget indies? How much was it supposed to sell?

They're preparing the ground for its GOTY award then.

Nah it's true.

jrpg

european finest lineage delivers k.i.n.0

holy based

Seething brown FFtranny ahahahah

First of all, I don’t agree with labeling Exp33 as JRPG, same like other JRPG inspired games like Chained Echoes or Sea of Stars. To me, JRPG is more than just gameplay. It’s a product of a cultural expression, and that culture is of course, Japanese. There’s something unique to JRPG that only the Japanese get. You can always tell when a “JRPG”... or “anime game” is made by non-Japanese. They reek western-ism and Exp33 is no exception.

Now, I enjoyed Exp33 as a game, but I can’t help but worry that it’s going to absolutely ruin JRPG as a whole, or at least JRPG made by huge corporations. Why? Because it got a mainstream success and holy shit all the comments, reception, articles. THEY ARE ALL SLANDERING JRPGs.

"Expedition 33 is the new gold standard for the JRPG."

“JRPGs need to follow Expedition 33’s example”

“Expedition 33 is great becaues it’s a JRPG without boring gameplay, cringe and childish anime story and characters and *insert any JRPG trope here*”

“Expedition 33 revolutionized JRPG by its action-based mechanics”

And bunch of other comments with anti-JRPG sentiment that you can see in a bunch of articles, forums, discussion boards. They all love Exp33 but HATE JRPG. They love Exp33 for being DIFFERENT from JRPG, while claiming it as one. The thing is, EVERYTHING THEY HATE ABOUT JRPG IS EVERYTHING I LOVE ABOUT IT. These mainstream audience, the Souls audience. They’re DEMANDING JRPGs to change “for the better”. But they don’t understand. And I’m afraid they’ll have it their way because, again, Exp33 is a mainstream success and got extreme positive PR from literally everything that breathes.

Exp33 mainstream fans hate JRPG for what it is. And that’s a problem.

not reading your schizo esl essay, rajeet

There’s something unique to JRPG that only the Japanese get.

Yeah I see what you mean.

how do I get better at english?

Great, now japan will try to follow trends again, this time from french.
I remember the game of thrones ff16, years after the shit series ended. kek

I read your post and agreed with it, White man.

It is extremely obvious that journiggers are astroturfing this piece of shit in order to try and gaslight the Japanese into turning all their JRPGs into pozzed goyslop virtually indistinguishable from WRPGs.

But enough about Metaphor

Journos said the same about Metaphor last year.

I actually kek'd, good one.

lmao

Thank you Raj for the "organic" review, I will DM you the Google giftcard code.

Nah, Wukong was better IMO

Setting had some similarities with JRPGs. Characters and dialogue not that much, besides having a teenager protag.

Lmao no.

No teenager?
AWOOGA! Then how old is Maelle? Is it safe to goon to her?

What part of it will shape game design

"Realistic" brownwashed graphics, no more anime-style, mandatory nigger worship, "serious" stories with little to no humor except maybe Joss Whedonisms, etc. Basically everything you hate about WRPGs and "western" games in general transplanted to JRPGs.

grim future for JRPG

Lol yes

i respect this guy a lot. he took his access to milions and made something great for everyone else to enjoy.
unlike notch

rich kid creates best game ever instead of buying another yacht

this is bad how?

Jews defending and shilling this game hard.

not a great plan considering the game is infinitely less pozzed than 90% of the shit that has come out of Japan recently

kek, took the words right out of my mouth. Metaphor was Atlus trying to be “mature” while forgetting everything that made their games fun.

The jew HATES E33

infinitely less pozzed than 90% of the shit that has come out of Japan recently

w-wow, sasuga france-sama. what an achievement.
let me guess? no non binary weirdos and plain lgbt proaganda like in AI: The Somnium Files?
instead girlboss and black gentleman i'm sure. if not, i'm actually impressed. but i doubt it.
you faggots hyped witcher3 and it was shit. "muh current year 13th century" kek

They stole unlimited blade works

One more reason I am never buying this French garbage. I love how every media industry steals from anime, then lectures Japan to "Grow Up"

I have never seen a game shilled more here that this woke French parry slop
Palworld was a meme Pokemon with guns. It lasted as long as most memes these days.

I HATE ASIANS

I HATE ASIAN CULTURE

WHY CANT EVERYTHING BE UGLY, BROWN AND BLOOM, AND WESTOID LIKE ME!?!??!

he's still coping

shows you how bad it is though.
even french imitations of the past is better than what japan pulls out recently.
fate franchise is a good example. real sad man, i just wanna go back.
my hope is that maybe ai in the future can reconstruct that feeling from that particular time, it all seems lost now that there is no more language barrier and everybody consumes the same slop.

The first time I agree with a Xenoblade 2 fag.

33 is a small game with a small budget, but the DEI crowd sees this as their gateway to JRPG takeover.
For all the praise, Metaphor did not have to sales or cultural impact the DEI crowd wanted.

you really are a newfaggot tourist then. lurk moar

fgo at its lowest point is still better than fsn

theres a new emperor in town

fgo

its gacha man. all i need to know about it. what are you talking about.

Yeah man it used to be so fucking good when Fate had those absolute dogshit sex scenes that barely made any sense and were mogged by less explicit ones in the movies anyway
Trust me I want to hang you retards that think the pinnacle of JRPGs is being able to fuck teenage girls as much as I want to hang the E33 shills

This only proves that baguetteboy there actually had talent and managed to make a better product than SW with 50x less money
No one gives a fuck it bro is son or grandson of some rich cunt, people only care about the final product

still pretending Metaphor was DEI or failed

It's time to get over yourself

Yeah man it used to be so fucking good when Fate had those absolute dogshit sex scenes that barely made any sense and were mogged by less explicit ones in the movies anyway

pinnacle of JRPGs is being able to fuck teenage girls

uh yes? feels bad getting old.
you fags will never understand the feeling of that time.
enjoy your gacha slop, retard.

We are NEVER supporting your woke French parry slop.

Paper mario

I'm angry

Paper mario, but with ugly french characters

:D I'm happy!!

It's less aggressive but more blatant. At least some of the shilling for palworld felt organic (fueled by spite, but still organic).

You never got old is what your problem is

"man, if i had millions of dollars i'd make a game of my dream"

"NO NOT LIKE THAT!"

What the fuck did Anon Babbleeddit mean by this?

Expedition33 is easily the GotY and one of the best games to have been made in forever.
But I really don't like this narrative of it being the "new gold standard".

It's not the new gold standard. It's the old gold standard, executed splendidly mind you, but it's still the old gold standard. And that's what makes the game so fucking good.

Say it a few dozen more times and maybe it'll stick

lmao, i'm married with kids, unlike you, which is very clear. kek
unless ai robos give me nanobots half my life is gone. think i give a fuck what people think about me? lol
you go play your "mature" gacha games anon. since you are clearly so grown up and a proper adult, i'm proud of you son.

At least some of the shilling for palworld felt organic (fueled by spite, but still organic).

Not anymore, all of the palworld shilling devolves into one idiot speaking in extremely broken English. Just look at the Terraria crossover thread.

Fuck off

Confirm it's was freemason 33 game

Why would it? The game sold worse than and FF, DQ, Persona or Pokemon.

b-but new ip

Yeah and?

Keep crying and I'm sure you'll eventually convince 1 person that you don't care, retarded as they might be

Palworld still has 30.000~ daily players year and a half after release.

Nah it's gonna be death stranding 2 because it's more of an actual game.

if any of you fuckers seriously think that e33 will be enough to change the minds of crusty old japanese executives, you're very fucking mistaken

they would rather commit sudoku than admit they were wrong

only children are enthralled by jrpgs

if any of you fuckers seriously think that e33 will be enough to change the minds of crusty old japanese executives, you're very fucking mistaken

couldn't care less, japs can't tell stories

Yeah man, JRPG has that je nais se quois that western RPG can't replicate

When would Japanese finally learn from this game and grow out of their weirdness

So what was with all the vitriol over FFXVI devs watching game of thrones again? I thought Japanese games needed to be more Japanese.
Now the narrative changes and they need to be more western?

And because Geoff can not not give his bff's a goty award no matter what Kojima shits out.

I'm tired of those shill threads. I became so keenly aware of Moshe's tricks I avoid 100% of the brown shit they're throwing in my way. It's very very easy by reading for a week to identify which games gather a real community with members being genuinely fond of a game and the slop you hooked nose abominations bump all day.

You would have to prove this claim first before anyone remembers it.

How the fuck am i supposed to go back to this cringe incel shit after playing E33?

you're an adult who still plays video games. you haven't overcome any of moshe's tricks, retard

IT'S NOT A JRPG
IT STOPS BEING A JRPG HALFWAY THROUGH
THESE PEOPLE DON'T EVEN LIKE JRPGS AND WANNA TELL US WHAT IT IS

Im new to E33 threads, why do troons hate this game?

My god you know WHY people slander JRPGs?

Because Expedition 33 offer ssomething 99,9% of JRPGs dont offer:

An intriguing and interesting story with good written characters.
Look at the avarage JRPGs or i will look at the last one i played (Fire Emblem ):

Absolute stupid story with another ancient evil awakened

The bad guys are bad but in the end they were actually the good guys and said : "If i were born in a different country we could have been friends" *Dies*

One dimensional characters that bare any normal human characteristics case in point

Super shy, stuttering girl : H..Her-kun i will f..fight at your site

Super serious guy (prefarable with glasses) beeing super cool and always beeing analytic

CRUAHZY guy with CRUAHZY hair doing CRUAHZY shit

The "Im always happy" girl that isnt happy deep down when you talk to her 3 times in an absolute shitwshow of cringefest.

You know what Expedition 33 also doesnt "offer":
Fucking retarded "Lets eat together" minigames where im forced to read dialogues straight out of a kids novel

I like cake YUMMY

Hitehoshi-chan look out you will drop your cake!!!

*cake drops*

OH NOES MY CAKE *uwu noises*

"Hitehoshi-chan here you can have my cake"

"N...NO KOBAYASHI SAMA I.. ICAN T ACCEPT THIS" *Suddenly able to read her thoughts. Sharing cake is like having a kiss *

Fucking Monoco a toy ape-human hybrid has better and more belivable dialogues than the absolute majority of characters in any JRPS since 2010

Maybe is because my expectation were skewed by all the shilling, but I don't feel like this game does anything remarkably better than a JRPG except for letting you build your characters in whatever way you want. But the "the whole world was therapy all along" is not a new concept.

Check out the tradcon migapede Anon Babbletard over there who's gonna speak about the sin of enjoying things while he's procrastinating all day on a website controlled by kikes where larpers pretend they'll fight the system all day. ( They're still not doing shit in 2k25 )
kys

SOVL
unironcally

kek. japs are a disease

they hate it because it btfo's their anime cartoon games

My god you know WHY people slander JRPGs?

Because Expedition 33 offer ssomething 99,9% of JRPGs dont offer:

so... Exp33 isn't a JRPG?

Look at the avarage JRPGs or i will look at the last one i played (Fire Emblem ):

the things you perceive as bad are a big reason I love JRPG.

why can't you just let people enjoy things?

you're basically frustrated leftists. it's sad

E33 mogging all the Japanese pedo slop like fate, persona, trails, vanillaware, compileheart/inticreates pedo games etc is peak. Pure cinema, I await the day we nuke your pedo land a 3rd time and destroy it once and for all.

Perfectly worded my sentiments.
To add to this, I think they initially had a good JRPG in the works, but the project changed too much along the way.

Maelle obviously in love with Gustave

Lune is obvious rebound girl

Sciel childhood friend

The JRPG was there, but they killed it.

It's so fucking over for Japslop it's not even funny.
There's no going back after E33.

Maelle obviously in love with Gustave

the absolute brain of a hentai addict. japan is a disease

Its the best jrpg that has ever come out in the past decades, the Japedos are probably killing themselves in mass and rightfully so.

muh underage

Stay away from JRPGs, fag

Expedition 33 is worse than Hiroshima and Nagasaki for the Japanese. They will never recover.

Yes, E33 is a Hollow Knight moment for JRPGs. Like how Hollow Knight turned most Metroidvania games after it released into Souls clones, so too will E33 turn JRPGs into Souls clones now.

The Japanese think that their pedo waifu slop can outsell pure French kino, too bad because the word thinks they are weird as fuck.

i've been playing jrpgs longer than you've had hair on your balls. they're okay but e33 annihilated them.

lol you haven't kid

E33 shitting all over anything atlus and square enix has ever made makes me very happy, it shows how dogshit Japan is at making games and stories, all they can do is make "muh fucking underage kids" and "incel virgin fantasys"

This thread just keeps proving it right.
So much JRPG slander while labeling Exp33 as JRPG at the same time.
JRPG is JRPG because they're unashamedly full of "cringe shit" you normalfags hate.

Didnt Shadowhearts do this shit years ago? Why is Expedeition 33 so special?

All future turn based games will now be called E33-like games

Why is Expedeition 33 so special?

extreme mainstream attention
it's going to influence future releases whether you like it or not.

Its genre defining so moving forward jrpgs are no longer japanese but e33 likes.

americans make 10 flops

1 good game

see its better then actual JPRGS we're redeemed!!

I dont really care because I dont have time for JRPGs anymore, im just wondering why shills are saying it pioneered something another series did years ago.

i have, it's why my hate for them is authentic. -mechanics and narrative structure are good, but japanese storytelling and its tropes are unserious and retarded.

I think playing E33 as my first jrpg to completion has been splendid, I tried playing persona but it was filled with so much cringe and weird anime stuff.

How is this a JRPG if it's made in the West?

>americans make 10 flops

american

us

the western world

Be real my nigger: any time anyone has referred to "the west" in vidya, it has always been America. This is Euro shit. Call it as such. Don't try to take credit, you're not even white enough to pass.

Wholly subjective. I like E33 for what it is, but it's not a JRPG.

French

literally written by an asian american redditor

lmao
because it's not a jrpg, jrpgs have cringe stories, you may not like it but it is what it is

Cant wait KEK
The only people who will suffer are weeaboos clinging to their retarded "standards"

NOOOOOO WHERE ARE MY DIALOGUE OPTION WHERE SAKURA-CHAN IS EATING STRAWBERRY CAKE WITH HITAHIRO-KUN?? THESE ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THE STORY WHERE AN ANCIENT EVIL AWAKENED THAT WAS SLAIN BY A 2000 YEAR OLD DRAGON THAT IS ACTUALLY A CUTE LOLI

america is part of europe

are you american by any chance

final fantasy also did it as did other games

E33 is a 9.5 or 9 out of 10 because of the ending being not very satisfying

It doesn’t need to be satisfying!

In a 60 hour game the ending absolutely needs to be satisfying, this is not a shortfilm. Respect the players’ time and feelings.

TRVTH, JAPANESE PEDOS BTFO

Anime site, anime board. Fuck off, poser.

The weeb and jap seethe is delicious, your genre has been murdered.

it's a western take on the jrpg mechanical skeleton, but ditches the stunted japanese storytelling. that's why it's making headlines. the biggest concession this game makes to jrpgs is lune being barefoot

It's not sold better, it doesn't have better user reception nor does it have better critical reception than Metaphor or Persona 5

This thread is 95% falseflags, most E33 fans I know love old and modern Japanese media, dont get trolled you retards.

So let me see if I understand.
People who don't like JRPGs are saying Clair Obscur is the greatest JRPG exactly for not having the features that make JRPGs JRPGs?

THESE ARE ESSENTIAL [...] ACTUALLY A CUTE LOLI

Yes.

Dude i watch Animes and i play Jrpgs but i skip the story 99% of the time because its so brainless it would hurt me reading/watching it.
i skipped 100% of dialogues in the last 3 Fire Emblem games because i couldnt physicly stand the sheer cringe it was emitting.
But i NEED to make them better because i NEED the characters to have better relqationships

I like that E33 is the new standard for jrpg's, no more generic jrpg dogshit where I have to go through a million menus and shit now I can actually play skill based.

So basically racism
Yet you faggots are too chicken shit to call them out on their racism

it's the "E33 hater tries to rally JRPG fans against E33" episode

And judging by the number of replies some people actually still fall for this.

Then it's not a JRPG. Being turn-based and having an overworld didn't define JRPGs. They're calling it that because that's how the game was marketed, which is dishonest at best.

At no point does anyone stop to explain what the Gommage is. Why would they? In this world, it’s common knowledge, so the characters never ask questions purely for the player’s benefit. The moment is left to speak for itself. You’re trusted to feel its weight, to infer the rules of this world from the fallout. It’s sensational, devastating, and a perfect example of how Clair Obscur treats its audience with intelligence and respect.

I forgot how ham-fisted Japanese games can be with exposition. I guess that will make 33 seem more impressive.

There was a time in videogames when Jrpgs didnt have cringy stories and character interactions shoved in your face 100% of the time

a cute loli

Uh yeah? You hate Japan we get it lol.

I look up Japanese games (not necessarily JRPG) I like in the past 2 years, and most of them were remakes/sequels... most are still better than E33 though

Romancing Saga 2R

Star Ocean 2R

Yakuza 8

P3 Reload

FF7 Rebirth

Tales of Graces Remastered

Atelier Yumia

Ys X

Metaphor Refantazio

Unicorn Overlord

Megaton Musashi

Grandblue Relink

I'm on the second boss.
It's a great game. I'm confused about why everyone thinks Paper Mario's action command system is a new deal though.

it's a turn-based role-playing game. e33 is a success because it isn't an rpg. japs tried to be cool and western with XVI but failed hideously.

yes as explained here

SaGa 2R, Relink and Unicorn Overlord were so good. Ys X pissed me off with the rerelease stuff desu.

the term FRPG should stand it's own, if the frogs can get off their "le tired" asses and make more of them

then the genre is not for you, go play BG3 or something.
Actually I've never seen BG3 fans shit on JRPG even though it's probably better than every JRPG in existence. Meanwhile e33 fags are extremely obsessed with JRPGs for some reason

Nah it's gonna be death stranding 2

Death Stranding 2 is the old gold standard? No it isn't. Did you even think about what you were saying?
Bot tier response.

lists all jp slop with some pedo slop mixed in for incel losers

better then E33

KEK

They're the ones calling JRPG fans racist for not accepting non-Japanese-made """""JRPG"""""

Its cause BG3 fans for the most part recognize that Jrpgs are Japanese and made for totally different people just like Wrpg's are. E33 cucks are dont get that.

Saga

No bitches

Star ocean

No bitches

Yakuza

Utter sausage fest

P3

Worst persona after 5

FF7 rebirth

FF7 has not plot and tifa's tits are still too small

Tales of graces

Not symphonia, don't care

Atelier yumia

Not ryza, don't care

Ys 10

Haven't played because i'm not there yet

Metaphor refantazio

Persona, but ugly

Unicorn overlord

Has bitches

Megaton musashi

Level 5, enough said

Grandblue

Boring and sanitized

proven again, again, again and again

Most JRPGs fags we're disappointed with E33 after ACT 1. This is like saying you have the best pasta because non-pasta eaters liked your spaghetti when Italians only said it was 'meh'

Saga

No bitches

?
It's the most uncensored Square Enix game this decade with tons of sexy girls in skimpy outfits. the ethics department must've missed it somehow

XB2Fag can't recognize a quality RPG even when it slaps them in the face

Checks out.

Why play a turn based game at all instead of a real time action game if that's what you want?

SaGa 2R has a ton of whores with their tiddies out, did you play the game? Grandblue got some panty censorship though so I agree on that.

He didnt play the game I think

You guys just don't understand. It's good because it has kirito and asuna and it has parts where kirito is crying like a bitch.
Also i hate kirito despite the fact that he lost every fight but two.

Thinks SaGa slop with tiddies means its a good game, oh but fanservice is for men!

k incel loser

ah yes the poor working class square enix just struggling over here to make ends meet thats why they cant make a good game.

This kind of shit is why JRPG is JRPG. non-japanese are simply too ironic to be able to create something like this in full honesty

Its sorta like how western visual novel creators and seemingly only make ironic stories with no heartfelt honesty no matter how absurd the story is (except katawa shoujo), the Japanese do this in spades and its why I love what they make.

all they have to do is take the tranny cock out of their mouths and not spend 80% of their budget on shit graphics.
Seriously, the play station 1 was the worst thing to happen to those faggots.

The irony is that Expedition33 actually is very "anime" so to speak. Give the cast more colourful hair colours and it'd be indistinguishable.

It is callback to JRPGs of old with good writing, like Valkyrie Profile and Suikoden 2

Never compare Suikoden to this slop again you nigger

JRPG are recognized more by their design than country of origin - so yes, JRPG is a genre by itself, and so you can have JRPGs made outside of Japan. that´s why you have only JRPGs, and not FRPGs etc....and also, you don´t have JFPS....

TRVKE

For some weird reason japan all seemed to think that the best way to get more western buyers is to change it entirely to the opposite of why westerns bought their games in the first place.

Only until end of Act I, then it goes full western 'cinematic experience' slop

Book fags are currently living through a hell that is authored by women for an audience of women. Pro published is dead and indie publishing is full of sex fueled cringe.
I don't mind sex because i'm an adult that loves sex, but those faggots can't write a male character that isn't a white knight or a sleaze, they can't write science fiction and fantasy, they can't write in third person, and they certainly cannot write a plot.

If anything act1 is the least "anime". The social links and off the walls crazy hijinks are all in act2 and beyond.

Japan desperatelly need to take inspiration from the west, especially in social themes. I love anime, but there are so many problematic things - the sexism, rasicm, the fanservice etc....

Japan still live in the 20th century, the world moved on, we can do better now. And it´s a shame, they have a lot of good ideas, bud they need to change to reach broader audience

This kind of shit is why JRPG is JRPG

Dark souls is a jrpg but it doesn't have any of that.
