OH NONONONO
IGN Japan just gave a 7 to Expedition 33
"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33" is a game that combines real-time action with turn-based battles like a JRPG. Although the battles are engrossing, the story has some problems with sudden plot twists. Despite its problems, it is a game with a sharp charm and a message.
Oh no! That will un-sell their 2 million copies!
Pretty sure they've already won.
The metacritic score went from 93 to 92 because of it
Baaaaaased Japan
they just jealous a bunch of frogs beat them at their own game
>combines real-time action with turn-based battles
there's nothing "real time" about it. It's just QTE spam
wattu issu dissu shittu
onri one girrr is rori
tfw final bossu isn't abstract concept of evil or goddu
nanni the fakku
Prob just kinda salty they got out JRPG'd by some fucking baguettes
GET FUCKD OBSCURFAGS
Do they have better complaints than the PC Gamer guy who gave it a 7 out of 10 because it had too much gameplay
filtered
I respect their opinion even if I disagree with it. I think it's important that vidya reviewers give their honest thoughts rather than just following the crowd.
At the end of the day, as far as I'm concerned, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the best JRPGs I have ever played, and stands at the top of the mountain with Final Fantasy VI, VII (Original), IX, as well as Grandia 2, Live A Live, Suikoden 2 and Dragon Quest VIII
Minus 3 points for being made by gaijin. They are pretty strict.
Im not surprised the character design looks too western.
What did you expect? E33 was made for people who like Japan's style of making turn based RPGs but otherwise loathes Japanese culture and media.
with sudden plot twists
Asians always think that because westerners don't include hours and hours of needless exposition about every minor thing which inflates conversation times
Wtf is a sudden plot twist, every plot twist is supposed to be sudden. Otherwise there it's no plot twist, just regular plot progression
japanese are big mad
not buying your action sloppa square sorry
xenophobia :(
xenophobia, japan :)
Considering the type of games famitsu rate as 10/10 we already know what kind of people they are
they're mad that someone did the jrpg story tropes better than them
the japanese don't learn, they just enjoy whataboutism
the story has some problems with sudden plot twists
Because this NEVER happens in a Japanese game.
seething japs
no one does JRPG better than Japan, its in the name
the game is good we're just too stupid to understand it
Kek
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
JRPG
They are right. The story has a lot of plot holes.
Wah where's my exposition dumps
Japan is creatively bankrupt. And JRPG's will never exceed beyond E33.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the best JRPGs
Kill yourself
The japs are lost to gachaslop, we can forget about them.
racism :(
racism against Japan :)
basado
It's not a JRPG and it's not even close to being as good as any of those other games you listed except maybe Grandia 2 which I have not played
name 33 plot holes
the story has some problems with sudden plot twists.
What the fuck does that even mean? Shits pretty foreshadow if you pay attention?
Sholdn't you be reproducing to help your country instead of shitposting on Anon Babble?
Japan has fallen
And JRPG's will never exceed beyond E33
They already did.
You autists lost this war a long time ago. JRPG is a genre.
B-b-b-but it's made in Japan
It has Dutch angles in it even though it's not made in the Netherlands, as well.
B-b-b-but it's a WRPG
No such thing. I have never called anything a WRPG and I never will, because that's not a genre and is of no use to me as a descriptor.
B-b-b-but it's a LRPG
"LRPG" is what everyone else knows as a JRPG. Sorry this bothers your autism.
I stand by what I said.
The only mixed review
Seething that frogs out did them.
Holy fuck I never agreed more to a review
if you've never been to Japan you might be shocked by what fucking brainless drone npcs they are. never have I seen a people this susceptible to marketing before.
Based japs getting the final word, superseding any and all discussion on this derivative game.
b-b-b-based
Although the battles are engrossing, the story has some problems with sudden plot twists
Unironically, objectively filtered holy fuck. What the fuck is with japan not understanding stories unless they're about MUH HIGH SCHOOL and MUH GOD
smart frogposter
sudden plot twists
If you didn't see some kind of twist coming, you are fucking retarded
Wtf
It's true. They are the twitter faggots hyping everything but IRL
they gave starfield a 10/10
normalfag schizo babble
Yawn, and dismissed. Westoids will never make a better game. My fucking sides at these lessers.
Japanese know that this is just crap, lmao.
Won what? Mockery of the lifetime as a cheap persona knock-off that forgot why Persona was a fun game?
Japs can't understand a basic escapism story unless it over explains every plot detail to the point of exhaustion
How embarrassing
kek, probably true too
rushing through the story and beating the game in 28h
played for the sake of completion instead of for the sake of playing the game
redditspacing
Drink bleach cumstain.
They aren't exactly known for their writing talent over there, I struggle to think of more than a handful of acclaimed writers from Japan in its entire history
You can taste the salt lol Maybe they should take notes instead of seething.
he says as he praises a game with an admittedly unique and really cool premise turning into a poorly done ripoff of FF Tactics but says Marche was the bad guy.
Why couldn't they have just kept the cool premise as the main story?
Anon Babbleumor is a newfag that falls for psyops
Many such cases!
Was it this retard's first JRPG? The plot twists here aren't even that wild by genre standards and they get plenty of foreshadowing.
OH NONONONO
Maybe the game is just average?
Don't waste your time. It's tourists thinking westo*ds are capable of superseding jap media.
This really riled the weebs up kekaroo
lmao Japan is is butthurt. Seems like they need another nuke.
They don't actually play the games, they just get to write shitty opinions and paid for those unlike Anon Babble often with DEI funding.
japs are EXTREMELY jealous, prideful and envious.
it's no surprise they're buttmad a nepobaby frog millenial came up with a better game than yoshit-piss's garbage.
You're on the otaku board to discuss otaku video games.
t. Square Enix fan
where's anime aesthetic?
where are the lolis I can't jerk to this
why am I not overthrowing god?
wtf this is not about school
why those girls don't have a toast in their mouth?
surely those were not the only problems
the story has some problems with sudden plot twists.
lmao they're mad it isn't about teenagers using the power of friendship to go super saiyan and say "AAAAAAAAA" and punching god really hard. They get scared and can't follow a story if it isn't the most by-the-numbers anime trope bullshit. How could they possibly understand the story? It doesn't take place in highschool, lacks panty shots, and the villain doesn't arrogantly explain their entire plan to the party before being easily defeated by the party because their friendship is stronger than god.
Me on the bottom
why is it such a perennial surprise to Anon Babble - the vidya that japs only really like japanese games with few and far between exceptions
Japanese Otakus enjoy western games as well. You're just a smelly hipster faggot using the Japanese as your shield.
wtf why doesn't this game have the most unnatural dialogue i've seen in my life?
Even a 7 would be way too high of a score for a nu Final Fantasy title desu.
check ign out
gave rebirth, kaiju monster rancher and starfield a 10
sasuga
the anti-jap gook schizo has been really trying to build his shitpost these last weeks uh?
read about plot
it's just FFTA
wow
japs love apex legends, cowdooty and pubg none of which are japanese games
posting this
when westerners will eat up dogshit about some nothing character like batman or spiderman who don't even have a single piece of valued media produced in their almost 100 year history
Normalfags can't really pass judgement on anything that's above them.
So it is every single final fantasy game?
If you compare the story structure of this game to "introduction, development, turn, conclusion," it's like skipping the "development" and going straight to the "turn."
The story flows in the order of introduction turn turn development conclusion, and the timing of digging deeper into the character backgrounds and world structure is too late.
JRPG Gods have spoken, reddit level writing exposed.
rebirth a 10
Japan has gone senile
It's not an honest review though. It's the equivalent of a boomer conservative retard chud not playing a game because it has a black or some shit in it. You retards will just pretend it's not the case tho
lel
did i say 0 games make an impact? no, i said few. those are part of the few. it's undeniable that what is a hit in the west usually does not penetrate japan as it does other countries.
and of course chinese gachas but i hardly even consider those games such are my biases
They're right, the plot twists bring down the story.
Yeah superhero bullshit sucks ass too. Most people are really fucking stupid and have godawful taste. I know this may be hard to hear, but that goes for japanese people too.
The only ones that matter are the players, literally no one gives a fuck about IGN the the likes.
This game literally has no plot twists. It has a very well written narrative that is foreshadowed early in the game
It's literally underage westerner's first existential plot
It's not even close to even scraping the bottom of the barrel of japanese game development.
holy fuck the japs are autistic and can't follow a simple story, they prefer a clusterfuck of a story like Ff 15 i guess
Probably has to do with every Japanese story explaining & re-explaining the plot in hamfisted exposition dumps because they wouldn't expect audiences to understand it otherwise
Why do you need IGN Japan to tell you what to enjoy?
gives FFVIII Rebirth a 10
And now it makes sense. Nothing this guy puts out as "reviews" is legitmate
i can't like a game if some slanty eyed island nigger doesn't
Who gives a fuck what games they play
Even if that's true, it's a singular brainlet representative of an entire entity, that to Westerners, represents Japan to some extent. It's a shitty review, full stop. But you're right it doesn't change the fact that E33 merits have been solidified and will stand the test of time with the greats, no matter what anyone says.
otaku board
this hasn't been true in over a decade anon it's time to grow up
A lot of non-Japanese names working at this website.
if its not teenagers killing god i can't follow the story
you said that Japs were smart Anon Babble
I read the review and found nothing glaringly bad about it. At the end of the day it's still a positive review, the reviewer just isn't into it as much as you or I am.
28 definitely isn't rushing. Any competent person would realize act 3 content is post game.
played for the sake of completion instead of for the sake of playing the game
I'll help you out since you are retarded. The reviewer is saying they would have dropped the game if they were not reviewing it.
Dang I guess that French Studio didn't have enough initial nepo money to shill to IGN Japan as well.
You've had a decade to assimilate and still haven't figured it out? Geez, no wonder you think you can make feegle attempts to punch up at other anons.
a cast of 30 year olds?!?!?
Wheres the teenage girls?
Where's the pantsu?
Where's the b-b-b-b-b-b-baka!!!!!
God fuck this guy
Check out who invented existentialist philosophy, also post some jap game that you find better so I can laugh and deconstruct your bullshit weebery.
I just started playing this. It's the real deal. Feels great to play something mid-high budget that has unique graphics, gameplay and writing style instead of just the generic standardized stuff
story has some problems with sudden plot twists.
Yah. Stuff like totally never happened in traditional JRPGs.
I am making fun of the "otakus" who still think Anon Babble is some secret clubhouse like in the 2000's
I gave the same on metacritic and I am not japanese
Japan saying a game's story has problems
holy shit the japanese are actually seething at the french destroying them at their own created game genre lmfao
A RPG story must be 100 hours long that progresses at snail's for the plot twists to not be "too sudden"
Japs are retarded.
It's a shitty review, full stop
I found nothing wrong with it. I agree with what it thinks are the best strengths of the game and it only has a few sentences I'd outright disagree with. At the end of the day, it's a positive review, as well. Good reviews aren't meant to just regurgitate your opinion back at you.
that same retard liked the plot ghosts in ff7 remake
Persona is an Atlus franchise, research the series before shitting on something you don't know anything about.
THATS WHAT THE GAME IS, A 7
ITS NOT THAT FUCKING HARD TO SEE
but it has one of the hottest teenage girls in recent rpg history
We've hated weebs here for a long fucking time, the resurgence of weebs on here are most aligned with an influx in mexicans and troons
doesn't remember the paddlin meme
100% lmao
WE WON
Now I understand why their games are shit, they simply can't comprehend what good game is. If they end up making good game by mistake they will end up thinking it's bad and fuck it up.
Me on other hand, I can't comprehend how there is so much difference between their games and VNs/LNs/manga (most are shit but there are good ones).
Give expedition 33 a 7
Gave FF16 an 8
This simply reinforces the opinion that games media, no matter the country are retarded.
Its all just Unreal Engine assets outside of anything they modelled themselves.
Already refunded.
Nobody is falling for it, falseflagger. Final Fantasy is dead.
A 7 is pretty good in my book.
You just proved their point. Impetus is on you to get on board, not them to adapt to normalfags.
He's right. Cope.
Oh no.. expedition sisters, now they have ammo against us.
Why is this guy repeatedly posting about how he refunded the game?
They're both great. I love video games
I've played Grandia 2, I assure you, Expedition 33 isn't as good. Not to say Exp 33 is bad, it's not, it just doesn't actually do much different or have any really high type of idea's in it. It has some "damn that's cool" moments, but nothing that made me say "Oh my God...this is just...unbelievable..." like I said with Grandia 2.
I think they needed to spend more time on the real world and the conflicts there. Once the game showed that the world they were in wasn't real, I didn't really care about it anymore, and because of the lack of exploring more of the conflict going on in the real world, I just had a sense of "Who cares?"
turn-based battles like a JRPG
They act like japs invented turn based rpgs.
Is it really that hard to follow the narrative?
we
hate weebs
I'm not really concerned with what some tourist crying about japanese media thinks about anything at all. The fringe minority of trash is irrelevant. Same as it ever was.
Grandia 2
game starts at 10/10 and then falls down to 6/10 the last 10h
I never mentioned anything in my post about final fantasy which is a Square Enix franchise. I only mentioned PERSONA (including Shin Megami Tensei) you are the retard here. Atlus is the studio behind the copyright of every Persona franchise. They literally ripped off battle mechanics and GUI from Persona 5.
e33 is not a jrpg
hours of needless exposition
This. It's always so fucking annoying when they shoehorn backstories out of nowhere for characters that merely exist to move the plot. It's especially egregious for villians having their "death moment".
I know, but it still has a strong visual identity with the melty floaty flowery environments, the French stuff, strongly colored fog and such
They think retarded exposition is the reward for playing the game. That only works in space operas
Yes it is.
yfw E33 wins GOTY and makes japoids seppuku
newfaggot confirmed
No one likes weebs, liking anime isn't some fringe thing anymore when every other tranny on discord is using an anime avatar, most of the old anons who were weebs grew up.
some problems with sudden plot twists
LOL! They got filtered by the story!
IGN
"These people do not represent us, and they are not a credible representation of us"
IGN Japan
"These people represent Japanese people, and they are a credible representation of how the Japanese view our video games"
ok
Not it isn't. No anime kawaii uguu~ shit and not made by japs. Also, jrpgs didn't not invent turn based battle.
Yes. It's why JRPG's are so reliant on exposition dumps. E33 drip feeds you the story and if you're sharp you'll figure it out early chapter 2.
Clive won...he fucking won.
Retard who just started playing the game here. Can someone give me a general plot summary? So Gustave is going on expedition I got that but I don't understand why all the people wearing flowers died. They are sacrifices or something? How does it work ?
This shit should not be allowed. This man's review is worthless.
fuck off faggot
"Niggas in a row game" is a better descriptor than JRPG ever was or will be. It's only caused confusion
Yes it's a jrpg that's the genre.
most of the old anons who were weebs grew up
but I'm not one, although I do know about their personal lives and their personal feelings
thanks for introducing yourself newfag
the same country that got pissy when foreigners made a superior samurai game with Ghost of Tsushima is getting pissy when foreigners make a superior turn based rpg
the only thing that shocks me is that if two nukes can't fix an island country then how many nukes does take?
See:
Japs are so fucking pathetic
all the totally organic shills seething itt
lmfao
lmao, how are teenagers fighting god deeper?
Anime brainrot is real.
Ben Starr won
You should just replay the intro if you payed that little attention
all these seething replies from redditors
love it, Japan never fails to filter redditors here
mutts were right to nuke that shithole of a country
It always sounded odd that turn based became synonymous with jrpg as if japanese invented it when they just took the idea from wizardry and used it the most partially because it was the easiest system to implement and they aren't known for creativity over there
>the same country that got pissy when foreigners made a superior samurai game with Ghost of Tsushima
Anon, Japan loved Ghost of Tsushima so much that Famitsu gave it a perfect score.
OIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAA
GOOBLUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Normalfag hasn't been an insult for a decade, either. You poopsockers are the minority. There is nothing to be prideful about in consuming thousands of haremshit anime and talking about who the best girl is since 2006. I've been here for a long time. Times have changed. You are what people look down upon now even on here.
look mom, I'm mouthing off again
Oh brother.
ping pong was invented by the brits but since asians autistically dedicate their life to it, it's generally associated with them
just how life goes
It's unhinged isn't it? A couple of people are going off from a caffeine high seething at this game. it is a couple of japs from 2chn raiding
That makes no sense. It isn't anime styled and it isn't made by japs. It has almost nothing that even feels uniquely japanese since turn based was not invented by them.
Been here since 2008 kiddo, was a diehard weeb when I was an underage faggot but eventually as I grew up I found worshipping foreigners a but pathetic. You'll get there too someday probably when you leave your mom's basement.
it's not deep because the characters aren't 22 like me
and I'm a big boy
My fucking sides.
The fact the same reviewer game Rebirth a 10 feels perfectly at home with a Anon Babble shitpost and who's being E33 schizo threads
Why do you lie?
I like verso as a character but I grow tired of Ben Starr's voice. Charlie Cox was great though. That guy needs to start doing more voice acting work.
Snubbed by gay vampire in 2023
probably snubbed by Norman Reedus this year
Ben deserves it, but at least he's got practically permanent work now, dude is in everything lately.
I feel like the writing really fell off after the start. sucks.
gameplay was fun though.
Wheres the teenage girls?
Did you not play the game?
So?
Japan loved Ghost of Tsushima so much that Famitsu gave it a perfect score
American developers are so fucking based
failed normalfag still trying to LARP and talk back
You have to be 18+ to post here, anon kun.
provides no proof other than "trust me bro"
nice retort faggot
It's ok your understanding isn't required, it's still a JRPG.
filtered by Renoir
filtered by the chromatics until he could break the damage cap
filtered by the "plot twists"
confused by the fight happy retard gestrals having an impromptu tournament without 20 minutes of exposition why
can't enjoy the gestrals at all until he finds out why they exist
mad the backup plan of having to kill the almost impossible to kill axons wasn't mentioned before it became a necessity
made a defense build
probably played on normal or easy
This guy is just kind of a dimwit.
I'll bet this faggot is even making some of the threads.
The paintress paints a number and anyone older than that number just dies. nobody knows where the paintress came from or why she does it. the people wearing flowers in the intro are the ones who are going to die when the number changes, so the town holds a big ass funeral for them before they go.
Anon Babble is a degenerate website and at the end of the day, every day you browse here, your normalfaggotry wears off a bit. This is also why there are tons of furries and trannies here, as well as weebs.
With that said, I have no problem with weebs. But I will make fun of you when you get pissy about stupid shit, such as the fact that E33 being a JRPG bothers you.
Eating chicken tendies, cheez-its and drinking cranberry juice while watching Asmongold playing E33.
Where and what were you doing when Japan took a huge steaming pile of shit on France?
How are you this retarded, anon? Are you speedrunning? Restart the game. Don't ask for a spoonfeed.
IGN
Japan is SO butthurt, holy shit.
Might be one of the funniest threads all day.
I agree he needs to stop with the whisper acting and just talk but he's a pretty good va none the less.
He's a very likable guy and pretty cheap considering. He's less than a 1/10th the price of a name like Sneedus.
Nope and it never will be. For the rest of your life it won't be and you won't even understand what a jrpg is because you think japs made video game turn based combat. Americans did that and it makes you seethe. inb4 troon rage
voice acting is for failed, bored, or ugly actors. the guy headlines popular stuff still so i doubt he'll be banging the door down for more roles.
Japanese called (I'm not sure how much it's still used) Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy "light RPGs", because their point was to be simpler and easier to play than Wizardry or Ultima. I'd say that kind of game is a Japanese invention
Read what you're saying. You're out of touch. Lmao.
Famitsu is pratically ownded by Basedny, actual Japs hated Tsushima for upstaging them
its the E33 fan's 8.8 moment right now
its not as good as you think
I think a lot of Japanese like the guy from the threads on 2chn but the mainstream industry is trying to protect Square Enix and FF by doing this weird anti-shilling campaign.
IGN
this a deep, philosophical masterpiece according to weebs
No wonder gacha is so lucrative.
the story has some problems with sudden plot twists
Nips truly can't into story and writing.
Why the fuck did my post change from "Basedny" to Basedny?
game jurno got filtered
lel
Smug Japs can't handle complex story. They only understand stories about teenagers saving the world from some evil god which is like the plot of almost every JRPG. No wonder modern Jap media is a shell of their former selves because they can only produce parody of a parody. A regurgitated slop meant for brainrot consoomers.
Bud, it's okay that you're out of line. But it's time to stop posting on the internet. It's not exclusively your fault that normalfags are always mocked for being silly. shhh shhhh hshhhhhh now.
mhm refer to my previous post.
entire thread seething because Japan doesn't suck off the latest FOTM slop
Is this thread just paid shills?
Real fucking funny, whatever, E33 is GOAT suck my dick jannies
not clicking your hacked links. I'm embarrassed for you.
IGN
You can smell the korean propaganda in this thread
Do you still say 3D is PD, too? Ahahahaha. Keep on proving how much of a clown you are. How old are you now? Tell me.
More intellectually engaging than the entirety of Clair Obscur 33. Baby's first western knockoff of a JRPG.
That's not an invention, it's just a different use of an already existing idea. Innovation, sure, but not an invention.
Good ol contrarian Anon Babble
No wonder China is taking Japan's place as the cultural center of the east
kek
gotta love how Anon Babble pretends to be sharp wits with high IQ that they figured out the story so early and that the game is GOTY because of it
hiroshima TRVKE
I thought this game was pretty boring even though I love Mario RPGs, but holy shit, why do you mouthbreathers actually give reviews attention. These fuckers are 80% of the time are paid off and the entire idea of basing a review on one dudes opinion is just a retarded concept. Just enjoy the game and stop acting like you're 12.
crying about 3DPD being called 3DPD
Yep, I think you've reached thing status. You can always cry about it on whatever cesspool you migrated from.
contrarian tortanic retard faggots like OP are so desperate they'll pretend the game they don't like getting a 7 from one outlet is a massive victory
Japan thinks it's mid and it has low sales there. They give gacha games better scores LMAO
normalfag when anime shit is like a multibillion dollar business and every tranny on discord talks about it
kek
IGN didn't like it
methinks Japan needs a 3rd bomb
No, retard. It's fun to laugh at the Japanese journo precisely because his critique aligns with Japanese sensibilities in how they tell stories, particularly in JRPG.
I fucking hate how real this is
What the fuck are you talking about?
Maybe we should just let China have their way with Japan.
Dogshit normalfag game lmao
I remember just before Expedition 33 released and for the first couple of days people were really excited for the game and now, because the board is full of third worlders who don't understand the board culture they think you can't enjoy and be positive about a game here so their reaction is to be contrarian.
Japan is actually becoming a joke lmao
board culture they think you can't enjoy and be positive about a game here so their reaction is to be contrarian.
I know, look at all of the children crying about anime.
kek
no it ffaggots upset the game is better than plebbitbirth
Yes, yes anon. Everyone is a newfag and you're superior to everyone else. Have you changed your undies for the week yet?
tfw final bossu isn't abstract concept of evil or goddu
It is though
2016 election tourists
2019 covid weebs
2024 election tourists
this place is cooked ngl fr fr on god
upset that 2D is objectively superior
There's that as well. FF being dethrones by a tiny dev team in France has the FF YoshiP andies and Rebirth fags seething.
The game is a solid 6-7 out of 10.
Not bad at all but the hype is kind of ludicrous
Weird models (Especially Maelle with her freaky large head and hands)
Terrible voice acting
Extremely stiff characters
Characters writing completely off at times where something crazy traumatic happened a minute ago but suddenly theyre talking or ignoring something insane that just happened
Stiff animations and almost no transition animations in some places
AGAIN the game is JUST FINE especially as an indie. But it aint no masterpiece
Here comes the filthy chink invasion with their low effort shitposting. Anon Babble became full retard again
IGN Japan
get the fuck out
Lmao they sound really upset about it. You can tell there's some actual resentment behind those words
Not like it matters that much since the japanese gaming industry has been steadily becoming a joke too
tfw final bossu isn't abstract concept of evil or goddu
This is honestly one of the many reasons jrpgs are great
other than a god is clearly not even a fair challenge as a final boss
Terrible voice acting
Nigga what game are you playing
Average Japanese male would rather spend his life savings on FGO jpegs than play this game
Grim future.
some one need burn se to the ground
never seen a thread about an ign review move so fast
shills are just in your head btw
jrpgs walked so frogs could RIBBIT
the story has some problems with sudden plot twists
No way are the japanese having the fucking balls to criticize a french game for this.
The game with really bad english voice acting. ESPECIALLY Gustave
It's some capeshit TV actor. Do you think he's capable quality. FUCKING LMAO AND WWWW
disregard all jap criticizms
every JRPG has some final boss that is an embodiment of evil or a god
lmfao too true
this
coming from a country obsessed with gacha games and NTR
Yeah, nah, I don't take anything IGN Japan says seriously at all.
He sounds like a retard
its so true that their media needs to tell them what to think, like they cant draw their own conclusions, just imagine tactics advance or persona 5 royal or metaphor with less cliche written characters and actual effort to make the antagonist more grey
Exp 33 is just Persona turned slop with minimal changes to the message, overcome your inner struggles meme. Oh no the big bad is actually just... Mental ILLNESS!? Such a complex story.
NOOOO WHY DON'T THEY PRAISE THE LATEST FOTM LIKE IT'S THE BEST THING EVER!
forget a third bomb, we need to wipe out the whole country
Did you not know that? It's a common trope that's been documented and known for 3 decades, seriously how young are you lot posting on here to not know this?
youtube.com
Cites good voice acting performance as bad
Nigga you deaf
je suis monté RPG
Exp 33 is just Persona turned slop with minimal changes to the message,
not really. e33 is dogshit western slop for normalfags
NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
YOU REVIEWED IT WRONG
WE WON! WE WON! YOU NEED TO NOTICE ME SENPAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Bait used to be believable
reminder that these are the same people that think the Switch has good games
Trannies are so desperate and now they want to infuse credibility into IGN of all things
You've made 20 posts in this thread, why is this game making you so upset Anon?

like wtf is this post??
this guy DIDN'T EVEN PLAY TO THE END OF THE GAME he is shilling and made some generic comment that has 5+ replies?? AM I FUCKING CRAZY? THIS IS A BOT? you can't speak about this game because THERE ARE LITERAL SHILL BOTS
ANY HUMAN IN THIS THREAD????????
Gustave voice acting
Good
TOP FUCKING KEK
Give me one GOOD example of good acting from him
Being contrarian isn't a personality
Thank you
Kek the way they're trying to make ign of all places a credible place reviewing games
so real time
But you're the contrarian seething about Japanese opinions about the game on a site created to discuss and talk about anime and Japanese stuff?
You do not belong here
You just know they would give pokemon a 10/10 even if they're the same as the last 20
Bought by the big Poke
Japs can't understand a basic escapism story
This is unironically the reason Umineko wasn't well received as well lmao.
completely unappealing on a visual/design level
cliche melodramatic story
super ez parry combat
A 7/10 is pretty generous if all we're awarding is effort
ign japan
who cares, what is the famitsu score
It's an American shitting on the English voice acting because games are turning away from Americans for English dubbing due to the strike bullshit and how American va's create a bunch of drama by being terminally online and fighting with fans of games on twitter.
Anon Babbletards inventing narratives in their hand
a single japanese outlet gives the game a mixed review
YO NIGGA THIS WHOLE ASS COUNTRY FINNA BE SEETHIN!
most Japanese have been praising it, only the Chinese have really had a negative view of the game
smells like summer in this nigger thread
expeditionfags on suicide watch
saying this when Persona 5 story exist
nah they are butthurt as fuck
Look at the thread anon, it's clearly paid shills being mad.
this is what western propaganda is like. they rely on fear, lies, racism, and nationalism for anything they don't understand. this mixed review isn't entirely positive therefore they deserve to be nuked, this is cool to them
So the game didn't have enough
EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH??????
BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA
Got it.
journalist has opinion
take it personally
blame an entire nation for it
really cool stuff we got goin on nowadays
Your point
I'm feeling le heckin sad about my nii chan who bought the farm
It's one of the most garbage lowbrow game stories in a long time.
Famitsu has always been quid pro quo aka pay to play like IGN and marketing outlet. The fact that anyone here has ever took them seriously is pathetic.
It's a discordgayops raid thread. It'll suddenly stop in a few minutes.
you're welcome bro
yeah, japs are such sensitive manbabies
no wonder nintardo is so popular over there, they worship it like a religion and are still butthurt about sony leaving japan
and the fact this site is now owned by a japnigger who has set like a dozen different filters for shittendo
thank you, this thread is fucking insane. look at all the replies to the first post, they are all small variations of the EXACT SAME post. it's a fine game but there are paid shills on Anon Babble to promote it and shut down negative opinions about it.
the story has some problems with sudden plot twists.
Reminder that they gave 10 to Rebirth. The game with ghost time jannies. But somehow E33 is the problem with plot twists.
Other than that, some battles and side content were also stressful. Some bosses have instant-death attacks, and even one missed defense against these attacks is fatal, which makes you lose motivation to fight after that (and the attack motion is annoying). Although I said it was "instant death," this attack actually "removes you from the battle." There is no way to bring back a character that has been removed from the battle, so there is nothing you can do if you get hit.
Nips getting filtered by the parry mechanics that they practically invented. KWAB.
I don't know if it is about some bullshit strikes or not, but English accent was and will always be superior in fantasy games, FFXIV is a very special proof of that to the point the dub is actually considered the official voice acting by the director himself, and I'm glad more gaming companies are realizing that.
they always throw out random vague anime tropes like they're reading off a list someone made for them to use as a shitpost guide lmao, shit is so rehearsed
Nah Nakamura and Kayanon absolutely MOG the shit out of their lesser contemporaries.
FFXIV is a very special proof of that to the point the dub is actually considered the official voice acting by the director himself
It's not and I dare you to find a source to cite this. Protip: you can't
Damn that really rustled the jimmies of all these redditors who just read their first "oh no our world is just made-up cope cancer running on dead gay baby souls" story.
when journo scores high it meant it was a masterpiece
but when all journo gives it THE DOGSHIT SCORE OF 7, THE LOWEST NUMBER IN EXISTENCE all hell breaks loose
Per usual, journos only good when they agree with our collective, eh 33sisters?
I dont know how many times this has to happen for people to realize how fucking bad at video games japan is
and the shill bots ran out of steam. great organic thread guys, let's do it again next 33 thread
For those who come after, right?
based
also based
That boomer conservative chud can dislike any game he wants for any reason he wants, just like salty ass japanese reviewer can blam any game he wants because it's gaijinru
journos only good when they agree with our collective, eh 33sisters?
This but unironically
Why are people getting so upset over this? This thread doesn't feel natural.
Fuckin' unsurprising. Utterly. They're nationalists AND have shit taste.
The fact is CO:E33 is EASILY equal to or greater than
Persona 5
Metaphor Re: Fantazio
Dragon Quest 11
Tales of Vesperia
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Lost Odyssey
Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
And anybody who tells you otherwise is a shiteating, bad faith DOUBLE nigger who deserves to get raped to death by feral Moogles.
Nope.
lmfao -literally- filtered by adult western storytelling conventions.
Correct
No, it's just not clumsy dogshit. Most JRPGs are either childish shonen slop or completely utterly straightforward with a basic bitch "kill god and the evil pope" plot. I fucking -love- Japanese media but they're a bunch of retards and they REALLY struggle with storytelling and narrative complexity.
100%.
If the director was half Jap they'd give it a 10/10. Since it's unabashedly French AND mogs most of the shit that retards like Square Enix have been shitting out.
How does a 40 hour game provide three? weeks of content for Anon Babble?
I don’t know why you used capeshit as an indicator of quality
unironic paid shilling
Wasn't the game's journo that got stuck on the tutorial for Cuphead cause he couldn't jump right also Japanese?
Why are japanese people so bad at video games?
retard-kun leaves FFVIII out of his pantheon of tranny-approved JRPGs
Whatever
paid shills
I mean, picture being told this is the second coming of turn based RPGs alongside FFX and you get it and it's just a bunch of Press X Not to Die over and over again
Granted, I like Press X Not to Die in my turn based RPGs, that's why I think Charles Barkley Shut Up and Jam is awesome. I can see why a more die-hard purist who lives in the place that built all of the tropes of the genre would hate one that breaks every one of them.
I posted a line from the game that you’d recognize if you played it because it’s his last words.
Oh look, one decided to work overtime
the vacuous bodies of the bored, the cruel and the failed crave stimulation
A live-action film adaptation of the video game “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33” is in the works before the game even launches.
Variety has learned exclusively that game developer Sandfall Interactive is teaming with Story Kitchen to develop a film version of the game, which will be published by Kepler Interactive. The game is due to be released on April 24 on Xbox, Playstation, PC, Steam, and Epic. It was recently showcased on Xbox Developer Direct and was featured on DualShockers’ Top 10 Most Anticipated Indie Games of 2025 as well as the cover of “PC Gamer” and “Edge Magazine.”
The biggest stealth shill campaign of the century is how
Anon Babble seething over japan again
that "right?" hit hard. you could tell he didn't want to die. he didn't want to sacrifice himself but he literally had no other choice. tfw he summons his sword one last time and runs at renior knowing he's about to die
it was a masterpiece
beep boop i am human. u want UE5 slop parry game?
this is what western propaganda is like. they rely on fear, lies, racism, and nationalism for anything they don't understand.
greater than

No wonder it's 7. Probably deserves less.
Yes, Dean Takahashi
shill bots, look at the replies
they are shills trying act like how they would THINK a Anon would talk like
dead internet theory is not a joke, an anonymous forum like this will be the first the victim
I did recognize it. Because he only recorded one battle dialogue that’s spammed over and over again. I was referring to the capeshit image
This isn't a very valid complaint considering it's the same exact kind of setup-reveal that every Persona game has had.
Robert Pattinson as Gustave and Adam Driver as Verso
ALL THOSE GAMES SUCK LOL
I actually think Expedition 33 is a 7 out of 10. But that's because my rating is strict. IGN is not strict with its rating, so Japanese butthurt at E33 makes me lose respect for them.
Why are the Japanese so fucking butthurt about E33 anyway? Are they mad that a few French bois made a better turn based RPG than they can, while they invested 1 billion into the studio that made Concord and 4 billion into the studio that made Marathon?
There's no other kinda fun game until night reign or stellar blade.
I was referring to the capeshit image
That's the voice actor for Gustave
Are they mad that a few French bois made a better turn based RPG than they can
Is this not obvious?
Yeah, everything you listed sucks.
Its true this is just FFTA. Or worse, Xenoblade Chronicles 3
japs get filtered by Renoir
Kek they really don't get kino

Japan's opinion is all that matters when it comes to JRPGS, they are the founders.
Okay Ranjeet. That's fine. Go find a small child to rape or whatever you fucks do when you aren't polluting the anglo internet.
Is Clair obscur 33 the kind of game you’ll ever reply, or think about when you’re replying a final fantasy or dragon quest or atlus game for the upteenth time? Or any other RPG western Japanese or otherwise? It felt like a one and done hollow 25 hour experience to me
Why are the Japanese so fucking butthurt about E33 anyway?
As far as I can tell they're not butthurt at E33, they're butthurt at everyone saying it's a JRPG.
They're butthurt at the JRPG term to begin with because it paints their RPGs as being distinctly different and in another class from games like Skyrim. Which they don't see it that way and feel that's like saying their games are inferior.
E33 to them is like the west saying "Yeah we can make your crappy turn based games too, look, we're better at it anyway!" Which patently isn't true, but tell that to someone who has been only playing these games since the Megadrive era.
do you think when all of Japan wrote that article they took turns between each keyboard press
Gustave is the Painted Verso Alicia wanted.
You joke, but some weebs unironically believe XB2 is mature or thought-provoking.
what’s the twist?
Yeah I want to hang out with Gustave again :(
nah the last JRPG i played was FFXII, i dont follow the genre but it did inspire a liking in turn based combat (xcom, bg3) which is how I ended up on E33
You replay it to try the other character builds, It has a similar system to the sphere grid. Only instead of minor changes to their playstyles you can utterly upend how you approach battles and bosses with it.
A mix of FFTA and Star Ocean 3
if he hates my fabulous jarpigs he's indian
Explain the logic.
Wtf do they literally all think the same? I kept seeing threads on how the japs disliked it because there were too many plot twists in the game.
The store's owner used to be named Chuck
That Japan didn't like the French JRPG
basically this
youtube.com
we were playing sword art online the entire time
It breaks multiple narratives and buck broke Anon Babble because it's just... good. It's really good and Anon Babble wants constant TORtanics after another.
You joke, but I was serious when comparing it to some garbage like a batman/spoiderman game, God of war, or Fallout etc in my head. Just blatantly lower brow nonsense.
meta narrative baloney about how you interact with fiction, it's not a real world but a [insert medium here] a girl is using to cope
"Yeah we can make your crappy turn based games too, look, we're better at it anyway!
But that's -literally- what happened.
When Japs make actual RPGs, we call them actual RPGs. When they make on rail story driven experiences with minimal "ROLE PLAY" they're making JRPGs. Japs are so fucking stupid they think "Game that runs based on math and stats = RPG" and they need to get with the program and accept that their special style is EXCELLENT but not really the same as Skyrim or Baldur's Gate or Dark Souls or whatever else.
nah it's something akin to elden ring, a good game that will not be talked about again when new stuff comes out. shill campaign is aggressive though, a movie is coming out, AND paid shills on Anon Babble of all places to prop up fake discussion (this thread)
you can utterly upend how you approach battles and bosses with it
It changes parry timings?
The Japanese reviewer was probably mad that there wasn't a ton of loli fanservice and didn't like the game because of it.
European game: Living in fantasy isekai world to escape your problems is inmature and it would only bring you harm
Japan: Baka gaijin, you dont mock sacred isekais!!
should i do NG+ or continue leveling to 100 after the final boss with side content
People with dogshit opinions who're mad that a good game was good are usually shitskins getting fucked by regional pricing and sourgrapes-ing
the story has some problems with sudden plot twists.
We need to drop another bomb on them
The game is called Expedition 33 because you adventure with many 33 year old women who are far past their prime
No daddy! I'm not gonna stop playing the Sims!! Mom was playing all week, it's my turn now!
unironically the gist.
Literally every anon here is upset about that as well. He's right.
IGN Japan also gave Starfield a 10/10 so...
you're going to upset your boss if you make yourselves look dumb anon
Indians filtered
Based
I agree with you Anon, seen it with a bunch of games but the big examples are how Wuthering Waves was using American VAs and then suddenly changed them all much like FF14 and hired Brits.
Don't forget all the Souls games have Brit VAs, FF16 was Brits, Expedition was Brits, Kharazan the Last Berserker was Brits a lot of these games are made by Asians and they're giving the voice work to Brits and not Americans which tells you everything about the change in the industry.
Depends on how much you like the combat system. The HP scaling in NG+ and beyond makes fiddling around with builds fun.
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance + Blazblue
Salty
It's honestly a little sad because the actual devs probably only cared about the Japanese response. It's western Journalist screeching about JRPGs being dead and finally a real JRPG without Jap cringe that caused this response in the first place. What a tragedy.
But that's -literally- what happened.
Nah, that's not the takeaway at all. E33 is a loveletter to the genre of turn based RPGs game as a whole. It's not better, it just does things differently and you feel that's better. Someone else who plays Disagaea and only enjoys getting the highest number of 9's following every attack will think completely differently.
People think E33 is making fun of JRPGs, it's not, it's saying JRPGs are great.

This is the biggest red flag that no one wants to talk about because it shatters the narrative. Whatever though, shitposters needed ammo because they had nothing before this.
If only they could be filtered from every single country except their own.
Japan supersedes western nonsense. Not really a hard concept to grasp intern kun. Tell your boss to apply themselves on their next release.
Gave FF7 REMAKE 10/10 review
HAHAHAHAHAHA HE PREFERS THE PLOT GHOSTS
LMAOOOOO
Gustave was already in the paint before Alice got reborn as Maelle
premature ejaculators
Timings, elements, order, some of those elements and order variances change the kind of cheese you can use to ruin enemies and bosses.
People with dogshit opinions who're mad that a good game was good
Did other journos tell you that?
He has an issue with the plot twist. Most isekais don't bait and switch the player with an isekai plot halfway through the story.
A jeet-free internet is my dream
Maelle is the only character the Nips like.
paid shills, read the thread and see if it feels natural to you
sudden
There's ink everywhere, japs really can't take a hint, no wonder their favorite game is ffx
It's a discordgayop raid, I wouldn't give this thread too much thought.
Based JP gives the game exactly the rating it deserves.
Every popular thing I don't like is popular because of paid shills! Sandfall Interactive marketers are gangstalking me and live in my walls! They're pushing the woke french agenda!
Japs are so fucking stupid they think "Game that runs based on math and stats = RPG" and they need to get with the program and accept that their special style is EXCELLENT but not really the same as Skyrim or Baldur's Gate or Dark Souls or whatever else.
well I mean, only one of those three are turn based. And I've heard tactics games get lumped as JRPGs too like FFT
Agreed. I'll probably consider coming back to it, and then remember there are better and superior experiences elsewhere. It just seems overwhelmingly, middling is the most generous way to describe Clair Obscur.
What's wrong with sudden plot twists?
Next Review: Sexy Horse Racing Gacha Mahjong 23 - 10/10 Masterpiece
Yeah. they're seething about westerners outdoing them at their own game again.
It didnt fall off it just slowed down. You gotta make room for the gameplay
the story has some problems with sudden plot twists
This is an unsurprising criticism, given every single one of their games consists of repeating basic information to the player 5 times per scene and then only ever acting off of that information.
Will E33 devs patch this now?
Umamusume is actually better thougheverbeit.
and they are absolutely right
Unforshadowed twists are evidence of bad writing that relies in shock factor to stay interesting. Its like a horror thriller that uses jump scares because it cant into atmospheric horror.
we need a reverse Great Firewall to keep them all in.
As opposed to... predictable plot twists?
I dont get it, i legit dont get what this chink is trying to say.
Kek, the thread slowed down. They probably aren't salaried and had a melty when it came to hourly overtime.
lmfao, not if the game is about French people. IT's so fucking cringe they have a bunch of Frogs running around speaking with brit accents.
Nah, that's not the takeaway at all.
And yet it is literally true. A bunch of French dudes went "hold my beer" and knocked out a game that stands toe to teo with every single all time great of the genre.
. It's not better, it just does things differently and you feel that's better.
No, it's legitimately better. None of the best JRPGs of all time have so many excellent features, such excellent design or even such good art and music. E33 is equal to or greater than EVERY top JRPG in terms of art, music and story and as far as gameplay goes... It's easily better than any single other game in the genre. The combat, the mechanics on the characters, the build variety...
E33 is every single good JRPG mechanic or feature ever pretty much combined into one game harmoniously. They even fuckin' included Monster Collection shit with Monoco's mechanics.
People think E33 is making fun of JRPGs, it's not, it's saying JRPGs are great.
And yet, the fact is with no money and little experience, they mnogged studios that had been working on these srots of games for DECADES. I agree the game isn't meant in a mean way but it's simply humiliating to get shown up like this. This is like a 10 year old schooling LeBron in 1 on 1 hoops. No way a basketball protege isn't a LeBron fan but it remains a fact that it hurts LeBron if he gets shown up by a 10 year old.
autists find them hard to comprehend and follow, and japan is an entire nation of autists.
anon...this thread wouldn't exist without them, and you're THIS ungrateful?
Hol' up... We're taking IGN seriously now?
Which patently isn't true
I can't think of a single Japanese RPG that's distinctly better than E33. Some like LoT have a much better progression system. But I can't think of any that have meaningfully better graphics or gameplay.
tell that to someone who has been only playing these games since the Megadrive era.
Old Japanese RPG are all shit. Ugly, bad gameplay, uninspired stories. People who say otherwise are just saying so because they believe it makes them sound cool instead of retards. The most blatant example is FF7. There were so many retards on the internet claiming FF7 is good even though they never even played it that FF7 got a remake. In reality FF7 has awful graphics, terrible gameplay, and mid story.
When Indians started getting connected to the internet en-mass is when I knew things were changing and not for the better.
The amount of scams that have increased are 1000x fold all because jeets have easy access to the internet and it's inherent in their nature to scam people.
the generic "fighting to kill god" plot wasn't real and was a commentary about neets wasting their lives in fake worlds
no wonder they're mad
have you ever watched anime? it's all iterations of the same story over and over again. japs love predictability with slight variation. they hate big twists and turns.
Actually a really good score from Japanese. they wont even rank a high end restaurant 5 star. Its a weird cultural thing where they never give full marks for anything cus they are autistic perfectionists
NIGGER they gave expedition 33 a bad review (7/10). we need to fucking do something
Oh, we have some hard workers in the thread. It's starting to pick back up again. Intern kun, FIGHTO!
DQ5 is pretty great, I'd say it's better. SMT 4 as well but I'm a little biased there
The "plot twist" in E33 is forshadowed and hinted a dozen times in act 1 and 2, it's more of a reveal if anything.
Yeah FFVIII sucks, surprised these baguettes like it
since when is 7/10 a bad review? it's significantly above average.
No worries, ill make sure japan gets a million niggers air dropped on them from paris
No
We've established they have backwards or lower standards when it comes to JRPGS. It's not surprising at all.
This, theres a reason the concept of Red Flags exists.
Post literally any story from any JRPG made by Japan in any time period. The story is absolutely shit.
Did you play the game for the image you posted? Every single plot twist is set up by an earlier scene in the first third of the game, such as shulks seemingly random glimpses of the future when the party first sets out.
Marche was the bad guy though
People will fault the japs for exposition and telling people what to think when more than 10 years after its release, people still think Kanji is gay and Naoto is trans.
Dont compare Xenoblade to your average neptunia japshit.
Anon, of course the marketer hasn't played Xenoblade.
And yet it is literally true. A bunch of French dudes went "hold my beer" and knocked out a game that stands toe to teo with every single all time great of the genre.
I highly doubt the frogs who made it think they're making an epic own to JRPGs and are probably thinking they made the best tribute to the genre of turn based RPGs they could make. People are reading spite in this when it's not spite, the people who made E33 love games like FFX.
no he is scraping images used from Anon Babble and using it in his paid shill post. that is not a "real" person
I highly doubt the frogs who made it think they're making an epic own to JRPGs
Read my fuicking post illiterate nigger.
So you're ignorant are mouthing off and are easily discarded. See you later tourist.
Meanwhile actual japanese RPGs:
And yet, the fact is with no money and little experience, they mnogged studios that had been working on these srots of games for DECADES.
I think E33 cost more than what most staples in the turn based Genre, but you're right in that Japan has lost its way and it needs to learn from games like E33. The last really praised JRPG i can remember was Persona 5 and that was close to a decade ago.
the paintress was obviously not evil since she looks sad
ink literally everywhere, even in my ass crack
****sudden****
Go back to Trails of Coldsteel IGN
A small number of retards being unable to accept they got filtered or that their headcanon isn't real doesn't retroactively make a story bad for everyone else with more than room temp IQ. If you REALLY have to, make an in-game encyclopedia or journal that updates with terms as you encounter them so the player can learn without pretending the MC was born yesterday.
so? is ign even credible in the us?
what does famicom or whatever they call it say
Press X to not Die
verso tutorial
”Let me show you something.”
party gets brutally wiped by missing the new enemy anchor parries
Kino gameplay moment not even mad
It doesn't stand toe to toe with anything. It will be forgotten by next year probably and everyone will go back to playing any other JRPG for to hit the thousandth hour in their latest replay.
I did and that's my point. People are reading too much into it and the 10 year old schooling LeBron would only work if these were new devs. These are industry veterans who have been trapped at Ubisoft for 20 years. Ubisoft, for what few people can remember, were excellent game devs at one time. They suck now because their management blows dick.
Japanese normies have such terrible fucking taste in anime that I will NEVER take them seriously when they critique story.
I see no problem with this at all in fact its probably the most accurate review I've seen out of the shit heap that is IGN reviews. My problem is shit like the 7R games getting a score anything over a 6
IGN Japan also gave Starfield a 10/10 so...
lol, now ask yourself who owns IGN.
normies
1000% this is Japan seething this because this shits over their output of the last 10 years LMAO!!!! I can literally see the rice farmer tears KEKARO
I think E33 cost more than what most staples in the turn based Genre,
only because it's usually cheap as fuck handheld shit and the big budget shit is rarely turn based.
The fact is: E33 is competing with BOTH Metaphor -and- FFVI and it comes out looking pretty fuckin' alright in both comparisons.
Cope harder.
I did and that's my point
No you didn't. My entire post was capped off with an explanation and analogy that made your previous post completely irrelevant idiocy.
Read the post again fuckwit.
LOLcalized troonslation
out of ten
Remember how French Comics still, to this day, have naked 14 and 15 year olds? Remember how Melusine got naked in like half of her comics and she was canonically from the 16-18 range?
The French are based. It's their companies that suck.
I'm sorry your middling game isn't that good Pierre.
posting NISA troonslations
Post the jap dialogue
It's actually insane how jealous and petty these nipfags are
When Japan makes western medieval fantasy game #9999999 like Elden Ring the west doesn't pout. They praise and cherish it
When the west makes ONE (1) uno good jrpg they seethe uncontrollably
Nope. It's in the original Japanese too
*FFXVI
fuckin' typos man
>Me
who owns IGN?
Rebirth
10
Oh man.
And somehow that exposition makes no fucking sense when nips do it. Chinese are better at it. Not that they have anything profound to say, just, there's actual reality and logic to Chinese world building.
Japanese are all about muh seething feelings, but you always have to express everything using established safe tropes.
Like this?
Im explaining the reason why xenoblade is a 9-10 series while youre average nep spinoff (im not about to debate the main titles) is a 6. I havent played expedition 33 yet because I'm 12 games deep in replaying the eushully lineup, but if it has the issues that the reviewer complains about then it deserves a 7-8.
One nip on IGN of all places says E33 is above average
Shills and retards shit and piss their pants going "THE JAPS HATE IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE THEIR ANIMUS"
Game will spawn a Clair Obscur franchise which hopefully delves into other genres and keeps mixing up gameplay
He's an egoist who believes himself to be morally absolute, and that could make for an interesting protagonist in that setting if the story didn't side with him. But it did, so him destroying the world doesn't matter and it's all wasted
7/10 too much 33
only because it's usually cheap as fuck handheld shit and the big budget shit is rarely turn based.
I don't think that's true. I mean, look at the SNES genre that most people remember as being the GOAT for JRPGs. Those games were made with pocket change and beer, but they still have more compelling than 3D JRPGs made today like Trails simply because they tried something different.
The fact is: E33 is competing with BOTH Metaphor -and- FFVI and it comes out looking pretty fuckin' alright in both comparisons.
I know you mean 7 but having fancier graphics has been a detriment to the genre more than anything, because they believe better visuals can save bad gameplay.
Anybody remember a few months ago when SE bought out some middle eastern game awards and awarded themselves all the awards?
Japs as fucking jealous and shitting their pants that westerns and China are steamrolling their precious "genre".
Eat shit, eleven keks.
Japs are shit at video games and only like predictable stories
Fuck them for ruining ffxiv, it actually used to be fun to play
the story has some problems with sudden plot twists
OK now lets see what score they gave Rebirth
Oh you meant FFXVI, well that has it even worse in the visuals-can-make-up-for-gameplay department.
westernfags melting down over IGN having shit taste as usual
Why?
Underage anons
forgetting that review was correct in it's determination that gamefreak had not done enough to address what was the biggest issue with the original ruby/sapphire/emerald
Oh how the time tables. So yes the Japs would be correct in getting the final say in saying "okay attempt"
His brother also killed people when he made FFTA Ivalice thobeit. It wasnt just a fantasy world
I havent played expedition 33 yet because I'm 12 games deep in replaying the eushully lineup, but if it has the issues that the reviewer complains about then it deserves a 7-
Holy shit, I haven't seen white boys this assblasted in a long time.
It won't be other genres bud. They're obviously planning on just making more "Clair Obscur" but it'll be an RPG franchise with FF style lack of canon connection between various games.
I don't think that's true
It is though. The turn based games are usually small budget handheld focused games because companies like SE stopped giving them the big budgets. Only Atlus carried the torch for the longest time.
I know you mean 7
I don't. I mean XVI. Nobody gives a FUCK about that dogshit fake remake sequal nonsense. Not even worth mentioning.
Yeah and here's E33 with visuals on par with or superior to FFVIIR or FFXVI and yet the gameplay is still VERY engaging and fun.
The Japs have been mogged, E33 has it all and they know it and it's pissing them the fuck off.
Rebirth has a much crazier and sloppier story than E33, and I say that as someone who loved both. This dude's just straight up mad
The biggest correct complaint about modern FF is that it's regressive in trying to be photorealistic in it's approach. Maybe Clair Obscur can try sharpen up their artstyle and be more stylized..
7/10 is a fair assesment of the game. I would give it an 8/10 just to be nice. The novelty wears off once you realize its all homages and borrowed tropes from previous JRPGs, which isnt bad, but it isnt pushing any big changes to the genre either.

kek
wow this foreign country is really cool
so much better than my country where people fucked it up
hey we should go to that country and [be immigrants]* and take all of its shit
hey my school buddy from the old country should be the next prince and write new laws and make this place just like the old country but cooler
wow we are such good new-country people, arent we so cool guys
hey, marche, what the fuck are you saying? Maybe we should go back and leave this place alone and not ruin it?
fuck you marche! youre the problem!

Didnt Japan win 2 out of the last 3 GoTYs?
Melusine
She's unspecified but definitely not 18
Remember, white people think God of War has a great and thought provoking story.
Should've been shiba instead of doge
Meanwhile in Final Fantasy
THE CORPORATION IS LE EVIL
repeatedly bashing you over the head with how evil the corporation is
shows the corporation experimenting on people, doing le evil bad thing
fighting flying robots that are evil minions of the corporation
but *plot twist* that isn't the real villain
it turns out the REAL villain is the DBZ character with the anime haircut wielding a samurai sword
btw he transforms into 5 different forms like Freiza
he's so evil, just to rub in how evil he is, here's a scene of him killing a girl
also *plot twist* the backstory of the MC is actually all a hallucination
you have to beat him in a 1v1 DBZ battle in mystical space
That game is considered legendary 10/10 in japan
sonyboys are not whites though..uh?
holy kek you're right. lmao.
You're unfortunately correct, what a joke franchise.
According to commercial tests conducted by other members of the Jewish Oppenheimer family, the American theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) belonged to haplogroup Q1b. Oppenheimer played a major role in the Manhattan Project and is considered one of the fathers of the atomic bomb.
Larry David (b. 1947), an American comedian, writer, actor, playwright, and television producer best known for being the creator of the television series Seinfeld and the HBO series Curb Your Enthusiasm, was revealed to be a member of haplogroup Q1b by the PBS television series Finding Your Roots
who owns IGN?
If you ever wonder who is behind videogame journalists and their shitty opinions. Fun fact. IGN bought Eurogamer and a few other videogame magazines. If you ever wonder why videogame journalists and their opinions are always shit. Ever wonder how Starfield got a 10/10? No need to wonder anymore.
also *plot twist* the backstory of the MC is actually all a hallucination
same could be said about E33 in fact Verso has a conversation with Monoco that all but confirms it
Traveling
I don't know (read: care) if they retconned this but mewt had Ivalice created by transforming all the residents of the previous world, so your subtle analogy doesn't really work
You're the same faggot who spreads in every single thread that this is one of the top jrpg and then name other good games and retro so it looks like you're an eminence or smth. It's like you've been payed. Get fucked retard shill
The Harsh Trvke is that the game industry's true problem that it's been running into has been this. This is true from gay french companies that are more diverse than human, Japanese companies that have cancerous ethics departments and western localization branches, to even tiny indie studios of 5 people who can not stop tearing at everyone's throats because they have degrees in media literacy and arguing on Bluesky.
Didn't play it but this is what i felt too from the stuff that i have seen

Bait
Jeets still seething
IGNjews still lying
E33 still 55/55
/thread
Creativity seems punished in big Japanese studios and that's probably the reason we don't see things like this today in modern JRPG games.
I would respect the French a lot more if they didn't have legit cuckoldry rates so high that their government had to ban paternity testing to prevent nation-wide societal chaos.
Likely because the only thing you consume is video games.
Name some of your favourite accclaimed Japanese authors then
The proud results of the anti-catholic masonic intelligentsia revolution
shills still shilling
game is still sub 7/10
lmao
Shills lost bigly today. And they will keep losing! I can promise you, they will keep losing and we will keep winning!
Japs after E33
Do I even need to mention Dazai Osamu or Mishima Yukio or Endou Shusaku, and so on and so on.
Do you even know any authors that aren't beholden to some form of genre fiction?
Bro those people don't even exist
next thread shills, chop chop
new thread :D
looks up Dazai
sees at one point a TV show had him as a character
goes "Bro he's not real"
Honestly, if you haven't even heard of Dazai Osamu, whose works transcended national borders into international acclaim before anyone here was even born, you should never say anything about what is and isn't "acclaimed". You're essentially an invalid at that point.
You're projecting. This thread is overflowing with seething resentment for Japanese people because one singular Japanese guy didn't like your overrated fantasy game.
an entire thread of seething shills
It's not resentment anon. This is a bunch of weebs who know that Japs have a ton of flaws.
Since western devs kept giving 9/10s like hotcakes around 2016.
That greentext confused me for a second honestly but I got it after a second pass
japan always had shit taste, this has been known since Anon Babble was created
Chinks are so based
I fucking shilled the fuck outa rebirth so I say this with my full chest but this nigga should seppuku right now.
the story has some problems with sudden plot twists.
Kek Ive always suspected the Japanese had no idea of a story. Every anime ends with some stupid random alien invasion because they cant be bothered to tell a story.
