This game ruined me. I'm trying to play Chrono Trigger after Expedition 33 and it just doesn't hit the same... When will I ever get to experience KINO again...?

try the mario rpgs
Nintenbro past the age of 12 is pathetic. Rope yourself.
one could say the same about video games, fag. Just because you're an adult doesn't mean Willy Wonka or Toy Story isn't a good watch.
Only a child is worried about being perceived as an adult.
Nope, faggot. Quit coping.
TTYD was one of my favorite games but it too can't compare. It's a Top 10-15 compared to Top 3. The Geno game I didn't like, found it meh.
you talk like a child yet you chastise others for having the taste of children. curious.
Are you looking for similar gameplay or just another great RPG?
Same excuse used by men watching MLP.
I'm playing Metaphor: Refantazio after I just finished this and I can't take the corny dialogue or one note characters seriously.
Another great RPG. I mean I likely will finish Chrono Trigger since I like the story but the difference in other aspects thanks to the generational leap in technology is too huge. I want something with amazing OST + good visuals + good story and great gameplay. Kinda big but that doesn't lean onto fetch shit, just like E33. I didn't do a single fucking fetch quest in E33.
it gets worse the further you progress into the game. Gameplay is alright though, even if the dungeons are boring.
subpar game all things considered.
I didn't do a single fucking fetch quest in E33.
What are you talking about? They exist, unless you retardedly think "Kill X amount of enemies" isnt a fetch quest or "find blue flowers" isnt one
You should try one of the golden age Final Fantasy (7-10). 12 maybe too.
If you are talking about the White Nevrons, yeah they exist but it's a relatively small part of the game as oppossed to XC that is like 70% fetch garbage.
considering I've seen this shilled here endlessly I guess I'll ask, as someone who hates turn based combat would I even like this game?
Damn I was hoping it would get better as I get new social links/the story starts to pick up. The archetype designs are so boring too compared to personas.
Yeah they should of at least been archetypes IN the universe, Like fictional historical characters that embodied the concept instead of literal blank concepts.
Made them all bland, unlike the demons that actual draw from myth and legend.
Dunno if ARPGs are your cup of tea, but another game that managed to 'trap' me like E33 did as soon as I started it was Ys VIII. I even got the plat trophy for it
OST is definitely good, but visuals... it's originally a Vita game so don't expect too much.
The system in this is just a more advanced form of something like Paper Mario. So, probably not.
Also, the white nevrons or stuff like Gustave's sakapatate help 'sidequest' don't give you a "QUEST ACCEPTED" marker, quest log or anything like that. That, combined with the lack of a minimap really made me immerse deeply into the game. I had to keep track of things myself, which is something quite rare nowadays, seeing how modern games not only hold your hand, but also fucking drag you through while holding it.
It’s a flavor of the month game. So probably at the end of the month
1 month anniversary this Sunday actually
The only reason this game is any good is because it just stole from good games. It's literally Nier Replicant/Gestalt with the twist from Star Ocean 3. Nothing about this game is original and the fact that people are using it to shit on JRPGs is just hilarious.
still shilling flavor of the week slop that nobody played or even cares about.
Shillbots are relentless
If you want a grand adventure I'd recommend FFX, it's the closest to E33 in tone.
Shitposters in Shakespeare's day said the same thing about Romeo and Juliet.
Try playing a good game instead of being a drone
Probably. It's not as boring as attack>enemy attacks>you attack, ad infinitum. There's a lot a strategy compared to most RPGs because of the lumina system. Each of the 6 characters all have a different resource and gimmick, which helps keeps things fresh. During combat, you have timed hits to do more damage on your turn, and then parry/block/jump/counter on the enemy's turn. There is also a free aim system where you can shoot bullets to consume MP, which lets you aim at enemy weakpoints.
You cant take corny dialogue...but you liked the dialogue in e33?
Just two more weeks bro, trust the plan. Everyone will then forget about the highest rated game of all time and the unquestionable GOTY.
Kill yourself
Highest rated game of all time where?
Well shakespeare clair obscur ain't
No rebuttal, huh. That's right. Take the L.
Metacritic, the definitive rating site for decades. I think I saw it was also top at backlogged, but that site's for homos.
Shakespeare was the greatest writer in the world during his time, this game was written by a midwit redditor and only praised by stupid people
I loved expedition 33 and it's a lock for goty. I'm now playing octopath traveler 2 and loving it, patiently waiting for the trails in the sky remake and official Kai release because I'm a real jrpgGOD
faggots shitting on jrpgs and praising e33 have got to be false flaggers, revised tactic from the paid anti-shills
user score
Oh I thought you were serious nm
you will never play a game as whimsical gain
Illiterates missing the point
Shakespeare liberally took from other sources and improved upon them with superior execution. The point is that E33 liberally took from other jrpgs and made a better jrpg as a result. Now kneel, Atlus fags.
oh NOW journo opinions are suddenly worthy of respect? neck yourself dipshit
Why are people pretending this paper mario ripoff is a revolutionary achievement for gaming?
improved upon them with superior execution.
Which Obscure 33 did not do.
They're worth more than review padding cultists desperate to push a narrative for their fotm slop
why do people who didn't play a game hold such strong opinions about the quality of said game? surely you're not a tendie or paid by the AAA industry, right?
It did tenfold, thus your seethe.
Shakespeare liberally took from other sources and improved upon them with superior execution
The gameplay is literally worse than the paper mario games it borrows from. You're caught up in hype because it makes you feel special
point is that E33 liberally took from other jrpgs and made a better jrpg as a result
No it didn't. It made a boring game
fotm slop
game awards are 12/11. make sure to tie your noose beforehand. I cant even imagine how buckbroken you'll end up in 5 years when it's discussed as one of the best games of the decade.
How did it improve upon the plot points that it stole?

Oh anon, you don't understand what's going on at all. Bless your heart
post achievements and playtime. surely you can do that since you feel so strongly about the game?
This game ruined me
Average e33 fan btw
Are you implying the opinions of people who actively hate video games and praise walking sims like Gone Homo as the pinnacle of gaming, are more relevant than people who actually play video games?
Play more games.
Caught up in hype
I went on an internet blackout when it released and didn't return to Anon Babble until the credits rolled. Hadn't experienced such a good jrpg since FFX. Turned out most people who've played it agree. Hype is what's keeping it at a high player count a month in, but the esteem it's enjoyed from innumerous players and outlets is due to its own individual merits. Now kneel, Atlus fag.
Lay out the specific plot points stolen and how E33 is a direct copy so I can answer you in detail. Put in the effort, hold the seethe.
This game has triggered some kind of mass psychosis in society's most mentally feeble. It really reinforces how cults can be formed and how narrative dictates stupid people's perceptions of reality. It's a fascinating psychological phenomenon
Woah, the characters that we've been fighting alongside aren't real people and now they're going to fight their creators for the right to live, never seen this before, oh boy!
There you go. Also, make sure to explain how original and amazing the totally not Nier soundtrack rip off is too.
I liked Chrono Trigger a good deal more than 33. I'd say 33 was on the level of Chrono Cross.
Funny. That’s word for word what shills said about helldivers, palworld and lethal company
they're going to fight their creators for the right to live
Except that never happens. The only characters that would have fought for their existence, Palicia, Prenoir and Gustave, die to treachery and intentional withholding of communication. The game presents the well being of the cruel demiurges and banishing their sentient creations into oblivion as the "good" conclusion, and the alternative is one of them going schizo and turning them into her perfect puppets.
Star Ocean 3 are products of entertainment
E33 are creatures born from a mother's grief to nourish the memory of her son
Tidus is a walking sex toy so that the summoner can get some dick
You guys are reaching hard and would know it if you actually played the game. One's reality being a fabrication is not unique to Stat fucking Ocean 3, and the paths E33 and SO3 take to unveil those revelations are completely different both in tone and what they signify.
It literally does not matter that it isn't original. What matters is that we finally have all of those things that were trapped in mickey mouse ass games for retards, but now it's in a package that can be enjoyed by actual adult human beings.
It's actually fucking weird as shit that it took THIS FUCKING LONG to get a game that was just... all the good parts of JRPGs without any of the cringe anime dogshit no one actually likes. But I'm glad we got it even after all this time.
This game ruined me
Why?
Actually retarded. I couldn't tell you what Lethal Company was, other than some zoomer streamer bait and the chinkoid asset flip was already dead after two weeks. It's been longer than that already just discussing the ending to this game. Feel free to continue to seethe like a bitch, but it's guaranteed this shit will win GOTY and will be popping up on "best games of all times" lists.
That's not specific, it's a gross generalization that strips both stories of the individual paths they take to arrive at their conclusions. Which ends up working in SO3's favor because everything about SO3 fucking sucks and the only purpose it serves in these threads is as a cheap tool for seething weebs to try downplaying E33. Their twists are as similar to each other as Neo living in the matrix is similar to Ready Player One.
she trusted V*rso and M*elle
Poor girl.
Tracks like Linen and Cotton certainly evoke Nier's style, but most of E33's songs have actual words in them. Some are pure real language (Une vie a t'aimer for example), while others mix it up.
Then you have tracks that are not Nier-esque at all. Monoco. Gestral songs. A bunch of instrumental-only songs.
What idiots seem to be unable to understand is that E33 excels because of the overall package. If the gameplay was crap (barebones turn based, or some open world exploration bullshit with minimap full of icons to fill up), it would've been appreciated for the story and music, but the game itself wouldn't have kept a lot of interested players. On the flipside, if the gameplay style was the current one, but the worldbuilding and story sucked, there's no way it would have gathered the same amount of interest aside from purely hardcore players.
A product is a sum of its parts, and in this case E33 is one hell of a good product.
World
Soundtrack
Gameplay that mixes up several things well
Even the price is quite important: $50 in the midst of the $70/$80 crisis (thanks nintendo)
But the thing that seals the deal is the cherry on top that is Sandfall itself: A small team of people who worked under good direction and managed to produce something that utterly shatters the illusion that AAA companies are so high up on.
Have you thought about not being a tasteless embarassing faggot?
You are absolutely insane if you think the two have a similar soundtrack.
(cont.)
And with the incredible success that Sandfall got, now a narrative of "muh deprofessionalization" is brewing.
gamedeveloper.com
suddenly, it's bad to care about indies who are just starting off alone, or want to break off from corporate bureaucracy. Will someone please think of all those pointless pencil-pushing roles in AAA publishers!?
He probably thinks that inventing words is something exclusive to Emi Evans' "chaos language".
What a disgusting fucking article
Its just the standard Anon Babble bullshit where autistics here break down a game and say "hey this one specific thing was done better in an older game so this entire new game is shit". This board is overflowing with autistic people trying to have extremely pedantic arguments with no real purpose.
Just ignore them, their criticisms aren't even worth replying to they are no better than trolls.
Yeah, I know...
I just don't get this logic. We finally get a game that is truly great, and at $50 even.
As I heard the songs in-game, I did get some Nier vibes out of some, but my reaction was basically the "holy shit, two cakes!" meme. Enjoying this one doesn't affect my love for Nier's soundtrack in the slightest.
I'm glad E33 is acting as a containment for retards who get triggered by anime
Functioning adults only watch films like Toy Story with their children. If you don't have children, and I know you don't, then it paints a morbidly depressing picture, a picture of a man slouching in his hovel with the curtains drawn against the sun, wiping a tear from his eye as he watches a VHS of Toy Story on a tiny, shitty television and reminisces on those laughing days in the 90s when his future was undecided and he still had hope.
It really feels like this has gotten worse in the last half decade. And I already thought it couldn't get much worse.
And I'm glad that anime is acting as containment for retards who can't accept that anime and anime tropes are trash. Your presence is not missed in the spheres of real games, film, and art.
Damn anon that shit was brutal, at least soften the blow and call him a fag or something god damn.
I actually watched it recently with a group of friends. I think you are an incredibly bitter person.
Have you played FF IX?
Ouch
Ys VIII is waifu garbage for losers, don't play it OP
yeah and you're the faggot posting on Anon Babble. Fuck off , people can enjoy things. Projecting faggot.
Fag
fag
fags
Why does there need to be ethnic minorities in a fantasy depiction of france?
Lol
Lmao
Solely for the purpose of killing them, if the following events are anything to go by.
Because France colonized a bunch of countries and absorbed some of their citizens as a result? Literally read a book nigger
because an all white cast, or a depiction of white history is seen as white supremacy, there needs to be a certain amount of nigs in every media product. Blame blackrock
Because there were ethnic minorities in belle epoque France, and long before that.
Because despite what Anon Babble and xitter might have told you, late 19th/early 20th century, there were many black Africans in Paris, and immigrants from the Americas.
How about you read about former colonies of France? And the history of Belle Epoque France itself?
This isn't like KCD1 where back then, Vavra correctly told the retards on twitter to fuck off about adding blacks to his game.
Not very nice, anon.
It proactively ruined FF7 Return
Because the bit where Cloud has to actively decide against a dream world where Aerith lives will still be sad but there has been something more sad in recent vidya history and they wanted it to be the most sad
Damn anon...
