When was the exact moment you knew you were playing a masterpiece?

basically when the big thing happens at the end of act 1 and i knew they would be taking risks

GAMEPLAY - 9/10
Sincerely the peak of turn-based gameplay. Insane buildcrafting, but also just the purely fun and satisfying aspect of dodging and parrying attacks. All 5 characters are totally distinct.
STORY - 9/10
It was constantly intriguing, I loved all the characters, and I was desperately curious to push through and see the resolution. I love and hate both endings and it's interesting to me how passionate Anon Babble virgins have gotten about them.
GIRLS - 7/10
Lune is really, really attractive. Like gorgeous. But she is slightly underdeveloped and we don't get to spend enough time with her. Tits are also nothing special. Sciel is weird looking, but I always like those kinds of very forward mannish type girls. Still, both are strong womyn, just not written insufferably, so they still lose a couple points for that. Maelle is cute.

overall 9/10. Truly an excellent game.

Probably somewhere between chromatic lancier and eveque

FPBP
I figured out I was playing some shilled UE5 goyslop by the time the expedition set out
inb4 you quit before it gets good. I gave it a couple hours. more than enough time.

It's the literal opposite of goyslop.

Oh yeah I noticed that. Then she turns her head and its just the form of the cracks in the facehole. Absolute genius shot

fpbp

you explore the map and fight random things in turn based combat? WHERE is my movieslop?

based westoid with cancer

WHERE is my movieslop?

Right here.

OP here, image unrelated. I love dressing up as a French maid and sucking cock by the way.

Has there ever been a game praised this hard, this universally, in this short amount of time, on Anon Babble?

40 hours game 4 hours of cutscene

meanwhile...

Bloodborne

I still haven't played it but due to everyone cumming over this game if it isn't AT LEAST 10x better than FF7 rebirth I'm going to an hero.

that first camp scene.

FUCK THE MISSION, REALLY?

the conversation didnt feel forced.

YOU CANT SAY THAT

That's a low bar

OG FF VII or bust

I'm going after Maelle. The protocol also says: never go solo.

I'll let you choose which protocol you want to break.

I absolutely loved this game but one thing i found frustrating was the large 2-4 hour gaps between cutscenes/story at times. Dungeons are LONG with a lot of difficult encounters. Cutscenes are pretty invariably only at the end of them, maybe a brief one at the start. Depending on your skill, difficulty option, and how much side content you do you can easily get 30-60 so 4-5 hours of cutscenes isn't much.

Uhh...FFbros....our response?

FPBP

When I put Lune in the Gommage outfit with the thigh highs.

As soon as i entered Flying Waters

youtube.com/watch?v=NxfOHQjMy0k

When they met Esquie and Francois and I forgot I was playing a game.
And when I finally figured out the parry system. That was a great feeling.

I'm glad I reserve judgement until I'm done with a game, so never.

og ff7

muh 'stalgia

the prologue

This

The main menu theme

When I notice the main characters' names in the lyrics of the ambiance

When Sophie's rival drops Pro-Natalism bombs on her

When Sophie admits she was a coward

When I saw Lune for the first time

When Lune casually drops that the fundamental elements are the universe are Lumina and Chroma and I realized what was going to happen if they actually kill God

When Beneath the Blue Tree drops its beat

When Gustav puts a gun to his head

10 hours in when I saw a sheep that looked mid and realized it was the first thing I'd seen in the game that wasn't strikingly beautiful

When Verso runs to Maelle's defense and shouts a name

When Verso tells Monoco there will be fighting

Act II Epilogue and every single second afterwards

BASED

Nice one

5 hours of cutscenes in a 60 hour game

based retard

Why can't you manual save in this gay ass fucking game. What if I want to load back to a moment from long time ago that already fell off the autosave limit?? Why put a fucking save limit if there is no manual save?

YOu shills really think a game with 1980s quality of UI design deserves a GOTY? Holy fucking embarassing.

It didn't click for me until the chromatic lancer speared my ass and realized I'm not suppose to parry a moment before being hit.

Anon Babble is healing

Gotta wait for your own parry navigation too champ

*animation
What the hell, I wasn't even phoneposting.

I've known from that first trailer last year. It's genuinely been the only game that has piqued my interest in a long time.

You are what they call a nitpicker.
Also, if you bothered to look, you'd know that you can save whenever you want by switching a party member's weapons back and forth.

This is the most shilled fotm game this board has pushed for a long while
Genuinely bizarre

Opening was strong, but I was still wondering how the expedition would really begin. Then came the beach scene (ouch) and almost-Persona.
The moment when it clicked for me was after that part, in the Spring Meadows. As soon as Linen and Cotton started playing, that's when I knew this was going to be outstanding.

/thread!

This was supposed to be a masterpiece?

Ever considered the posibility that a huge number of posters here just like it and want to discuss it?

Never.
I haven't even beaten the game. I got to the end at Lumiere and just kind of stopped. After getting to the Paintress, I just didn't care about the game anymore. Incredibly stupid twist.

HOLY fuck get an ad, you're outing yourself if you think not being able Load a desired moment of your playthrough is "nitpicking"

Then came the beach scene (ouch) and almost-Persona.

Lune guides the boat directly into a high level grinding killbox

Asian women and parking, amirite fellas

the strongest ice attack ever

"Heh, François is probably pretty weak and he's exaggerat--*BOOM*"

The game has a lot of weird jank like that, such as not letting you open the menu and reload a save unless it's your turn in combat, so if a character dies and you know the fight is lost, you have to wait for every enemy to finish their Promised Consort Radahn before you can reload.
Also, no quick restart fight button, but I guess it's Souls boss runback.

There's no discussion, every thread is the same copypasted talking points

camp scene freakout

Lune questions Gustave

Gustave shoots back telling her she was responsible for the boat's route

Kino. The confrontation felt natural, somehow. Lune is noticeably hit by that comeback, but she knows Gustave has a point, just like she does about "We Continue". Speaking of that...

prompt in the victory screen is (A) We Continue

kino

every thread is the same copypasted talking points

Yet today I learned about the meaning of Le Rouge et le Noir and why Maelle's attack is called Stendhal.

It's probably the best game released in the past 10 years.

sorry but this game was written by an amateur redditor and it shows. maybe if the nepo baby had spent more money on writing the game could be considered a masterpiece

If Maelle was going to repaint all of lumaire to make them exactly how she wanted the least she could do was repaint a new verso
dumb bish

this game was written by an amateur redditor and it shows.

What does this even mean?

When I turned on the game and heard To Zanarkand play. What's your pic about OP?

I don't like it so it's reddit.

When I bootes it up.

If Maelle was going to repaint all of lumaire to make them exactly how she wanted

??

Main menu theme was all that it took

In another canvas.
Just go and redraw Gustave and Sophie and Lune and Pierre and Sciel and Monoco....
Except she's probably too shit of a painter to do it believably.

Actually at the very end when you get back to Lumiere
Probably the most kino part in any game

this.
I unironically dropped this game halfway through. its just so shit.

has bad writing lol what are you stupid?

has bad writing

its really fucking bad.

You can't even give an example of what good writing is

unironically

When I first saw her face...

Shameless derivative and pretentious
Kitsch

The opening camera shot, unironically

Based. Fuck frogshills

So it's already clear that only chinks hate E33, right?

Persona 5

When I beat up a mannequin mime to unlock a pretty haircut.

yes I can retard

Can you elaborate and give examples? I’m bored and want to read a good hatepost

Nta but recently I played strangers of
paradise and I thought the story and characters in that game were really cool. unlike the soi faggot characters from e33 and its muh depression muh trauma story.

Yes

(You)

Notice how E33 "enjoyers" never post a single moment of gameplay to avoid being immediately outed as retards.
Here's afun game for you, pick a random fight and try to count how many times the camera zooms in and out to trick you into thinking something more dynamic is going on istead of 4 niggas just standing around.

weebfaggots

you guys don't know what good writing is

Anon, they can barely construct a cohesive sentence. You actually expect them to elaborate on the mature themes of E33?

Francois.

youtube.com/watch?v=qhLXQScygJk

the dodge and parry mechanic is so shit for a turn based game. there is zero balancing nor any need to interact with its minor rpg elements.
fucking hilarious how its the same faggots praising this game and the onea hatting on elden ring for its supposed “muh delayed attacks muh simon says”

"Here's a fun game: demonstrate why the game's amazing, and I'll find the most shallow reason to discredit it like the pedant I am."

LOL stay miserable

I cannot grasp this retarded "argument"
Maybe stick to playing your nigger sport games buddy.

if good writing in your faggot mind consists of woman and faggots talking like soi leftist faggots, well you can keep it.
I’ll stick to my weeb games with its based as fuck characters and dialogue. characters who value strength and honor. truth and royalty.

Will never have the reception, legacy and impact of Mario 64, RE4, MGS3, Ocarina of Time, Bloodborne, Dark Souls, RDR, BioShock, BotW, Persona 3, DMC, FFVI, FFX, and Silent Hill 2. The shilling and forced praise needs to stop.

when the only black npc got killed instantly

rick and morty argument

lol

It already has the reception. Legacy and impact will be seen later, give it time.

Show some respect for my nigga Lucien, he saved my ass twice.
Honorary Aryan.

The dogde and parry mechanic is a great innovation for turn-based games because they make the combat more dynamic and engaging to play,
You could theoretically win fights by only parrying and spamming basic attacks but that's really hard to do so strategizing and creating good builds are the better option. Great game and deserves all the praise

When I saw mature dialogue and believeable characters.

The dogde and parry mechanic is a great innovation for turn-based games

Paper Mario, Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door and it's remake have all already done this. E33 doesn't get to take credit for this.

it's just like my Mario game for 7 year olds

Do I need to post Promised Consort Simon, Myrmidon of Loss again?

People remember Minecraft not Infiniminer

Yeah it's dumb. You can force a manual save by changing your weapon so it's not even a balance thing

gameplay is passable but after act 2 ending ending I was yeah, this is game of the year. you can also count it as a game flow, whole second act all information is withheld from you and none of the scenes make sense

E33 doesn't get to take credit for this

at least they bothered to cash in on it

The day they announced Charlie Cox's involvement.

Point still stands if you've played more games, you'd see this game does nothing new. It's a nice game. My current Goty buts it's not a new experience for turn-based and it's insincere to write off Paper Mario because it's not edgy, with real graphics and doesn't have much death moments. Paper Mario TTYD has long since been a Anon Babble staple. Play more games.

When this played
youtube.com/watch?v=3kMbTzomh94

muh new stuff

execution is more important than novelty

I think we're just at the tipping point where the amount of youthful ignorants are starting to outnumber jaded oldfags. Anyone over 35 should probably just accept that we're in a new sloppy era so yesterdays good rental game is todays masterpiece.

Anon, it is you who doesn't get it. Famous or memorable games don't usually do something new, they just follow the decade old genres but with great executions. In the same way Legend of Zelda never created the adventure genre, yet its widely known for it. And E33 will be remembered no matter what you think.
Cope

I played it, when I was a kid. It was alright.

And yet you shills can't muster a single webm to prove anon wrong, I hope that's the paycheck that's showing because if it's the 50$ receipt it's incredibly pathetic.

And E33 will be remembered no matter what you think.

LOL this FOTM won't be remembered next month. That is until the astroturf awards give it every award under the sun in December since nothing came out this year. Then it'll rightly be forgotten for good.

That is until the astroturf awards give it every award under the sun in December since nothing came out this year.

Step 3: Bargaining

chinks can't relate to anything if you're not playing a self insert blank personality retarded teenager interacting with retarded walking boobs

If you want to play a turn-based parryslop at least play a mechanically solid one.

I actualyl envy you because that is as good as the setting and atmosphere gets.
Damn did they drive what little of a train they had against a wall and then took a VR goon shit all over it.

You should've told me before!

pathetic tranny samefag

Anon thinks he's on plebbit where if you think against the hivemind your comments get downvoted and hidden

Rent free.

Please Kojima, Nintendo, or someone else. Save us from this fomo game and the "lel humble 30 person Nu dev" from winning and getting all the awards,
reception and dick sucking before the years end!

Wait I forgot Death Stranding 2 was this year. Never mind, we all know what game will be shilled relentlessly at the goyslop of the year show.

Fpbp.
What tipped me off that this game was being actively shilled is how there's 10 threads up at all times where nobody talks about gameplay or story.

Good game, a shame it has a vague story and characters the average normie cant jerk off to to take off as it should have.

FBPB
The game completely fails as an RPG because every enemy encounter just devolves into playing the rhythm minigame. There is no tactics, no strategy, no thinking about your build, nothing that actually good turn-based RPGs make you do. It's pure parry slop, nothing more.
I admit, the visuals and music are nice but not enough to make me tolerate 50 hours of sub-average gameplay.

Starfield, maybe.

We all know that good turn-based combat revolves around rolling a dice and letting the game decide for you whether your attack will connect or not. Fuck the french for trying to do something different.

Cyberpunk2077 until release, then all threads mysteriously died down.

When Gustave died and they weren’t gonna bring him back. I kept hoping for some gay JRPG “somehow he returns” maymay (because it’s what I wanted). But the game stuck to its guns. That’s when I knew it was cinema.

Oh and the anti shill samefagging is extremely niggerish.

30 hour if you don’t do the side content

of those 30 hours 4 are cutscenes

ofer half of those scenes are optional

there’s still 30 hours more of side content

LOL

We should have a movie night.

When I could look up the females skirts in a current year game.

lol
LMAO

When the monolith hit 33.

it's zogchow

the conversation didnt feel forced

It's hard to quantify what exactly makes it flow so well, but it really does feel natural.

Anon you’re a nigger and I mean that literally. No one talks like a “soi leftist faggot” in the game and you have no ability to provide proof of this because there is none. It’s insane how weebs are so fucking ass blasted over this game having competent written character.

I don't think making perfect copies of people is possible without having their chroma. I don't think you can take chroma out of a canvas.

Jews have been seething over E33's success since release.

fpbp

Into the trash this shilled slop goes.

Nothing is a new experience if we do this meme reductionist faggotry to everything. There is current nothing on the market that plays like EX33 and you know it faggot.

certainly not during this 7/10 game.

Hope you're ready for the same logic to be applied to Death Stranding 2 and Donkey Kong Bonanza.

Hi, I'm the Worldless shill.
Play Worldless.

Esquie world map

Did Maelle want to fuck Gustave?

the moment gustave died I stopped giving a shit about the game.
the moment the big reveal was done, I lol, lmaod even hard and gave less of a shit, although i was happy there was more content because the gameplay was enjoyable albeit easy.

Dualliste

Sirenes battle

When I first saw it on Anon Babble, because everyone told me it was GOTY and GOTD.

When did Anon Babble change its mind?

The Gommage and the Mime fight
