Why are people calling this a masterpiece? It's a good game, but I feel calling it a masterpiece is an overreaction. Especially considering the dodge mechanic trivializes the entire game.

It's the best jrpg in a decade people are just celebrating that

Doesn't have the reception of Persona 5 and Metaphor

"WRITERS could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this canvas before. There could be WRITERS anywhere." The cool chroma felt good against his skin. "I HATE WRITERS" he thought. The theme of Lumiere reverberated his entire Esquie, making him pulsate even as the $200 vintage wine circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of literary goons and so-called "poets" after dark. "With a Soarrie, you can go anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.

In 2005 five it would have been an 8/10, but in 2025 it's a solid 10.

It's a masterpiece in the relative sense.

because its movieslop and normalfags like movieslop.

nornalfags are stupid
and I completely agree that dodge ruins the turn-based gameplay - it should have just been a tight parry

rebirth and metaphor are both better than this and I think people are overreacting because this is a new studio

Simple bro, name a better jrpg
Protip: you can't and whatever you will name will be either a remake a sequel or objectively worse than Exp33

not funny
the Jack version is still the best

Shit game, too much gameplay.

you will name will be

shut up retard

lmao

jesus christ wtf

Atlus games are for shut-in waifufags, E33 explicitly says that’s gay

It's better than most games released in the past 10 years and people are starved for good games. I don't think it's a masterpiece, but a very good game? yes, no doubt.

dodge mechanic

You're supposed to parry everything and never use dodge, it's the gaming journo difficulty activation button.

lost odyssey

name a better jrpg

metaphor

You're supposed to parry everything and never use dodge, it's the gaming journo difficulty activation button.

that's besides the point you dumb soulsfag

The glazing has gone too far. Same thing happened with bg3. It's a good game, great even. It isn't solving world hunger.

it just shouldn't be in the game as it completely trivializes the turn-based combat

People like Turn Based combat. But 'Turn Based Combat' is often more fun if there's a reaction-and-timing based mechanic to make the battles feel more engaging, and less on 'auto-pilot' with limited player agency.

turn-based game

you can act outside of your turn

what's the fucking point? at least the button prompts in legend of dragoon and lost odyssey were done right - this is just retarded

The original is the best tourist

yeah dude i love being able to act outside of my turn and completely negate all incoming damage it's so fun

shut up retard

obviously we're talking about vidya edits you dumbfuck

recency bias, 7.5/10

parry is a good addition but the dodge is too much

There should have been another sibling who had no creative interests at all. Like hated art and music and books

yes that's been the point this whole time

shills will be here with suspicious haste to educate you shortly
tl;dr game of the century

indian paid shilling

the dodge should at least cost ap or something if they're going to keep it in

same goes with the parrying

Why does this board freeze all the timr

I guess the director of E33 is a shut in faggot. He's mian inspiration was Persona.

in that case, go play Dragon Quest III HD 2D - which is just 'Numbers changing numbers, but with minor animations and 'Goku's face' everywhere'

You'll love it

make normalfags cry

win GOTY immediately

lol bro is that supposed to be some kinda sick burn?

shillGODS broke the board with how many posts they make a minute

Brown tranny shills.

neat story

all the characters are hot

JRPG for people who hate anime uwu cringe

fast, snappy combat that generally doesn’t have overly long animations you’re forced to sit through

cool lategame builds where you can break the game

nice handful of optional and lategame challenges

under 50 hours long (no time wasting)

It's better than Metaphor easily. Enjoy your two battle themes and copy pasted dungeons though bro

face in thumbnail = do not recommend this channel

Different design philosophies entirely. There are build type turned based games and piloting type turned based games. Pic related is turn based combat where carefully piloting your decisions matters. E33 is in the genre of zero thought turn based games where you construct a build and then just execute it brainlessly at runtime. SMT is also the brainless build type of turn based game. Action elements complement build type turn based games better because at least it turns the brainless phase of combat into an engaged activity.

Persona was gay so he made a better Persona

name one game better than it

neat story

it's just star ocean 3 but with a family feud
that last boss being a girl fighting her dad because she won't go to her room is fucking stupid lmao

This game has that dogshit UE5 TSAA/DLSS vaseline loik every other big game has now and it's revolting. I don't get how people can play this shit.

lmao that is pretty much what the final boss is kek

people

Those are shills, anon.

metaphor

So just like any atlus game then???

That doesn't have as high of a reception of persona.

everyone aside from the turbo autist cynics on Anon Babble thinks it’s neat and nobody who isn’t a neet has played Star Ocean 3 so

Western walking simulator fans are deathly allergic to anything Japanese or fun looking. This is probably legitimately the first JRPG they ever tried since Earthbound.

Complaining about the dodge is an unironic midwit take as the game gives you PLENTY of defensive items and weapons so that you never even have to dodge if you don't want to
Plenty of people have beat the game even on expert with no parry/dodge runs. If you're that bothered by it and want to play the game like a more traditional JRPG then just go and do that.

NIGGER no NORMALFAG has a clue what star ocean is or final fantasy tactics advance or xenogears or tales
this is new ground. and no icky anime artstyle. E33 is game of the century, just deal with it

SMTfag samefagging

Essentially what this thread is. Weeb screaming that his Nippon RPG folded thousands of times was bested.

The game doesn't nothing new for turn-based. If you play persona and paper Mario you'd not be blown away.

I like anime, the problem with anime games is androgynous male leads, every male looks like a faggot twink.
They should learn from the success of coomer design and start making games with all female characters.

This shit lost to the worst AssCreed in decaded lmao. Westroons are malding.

I really enjoyed it, but yeah it's not what I'd call a masterpiece. Just a really good first game for a studio. The overworld and music are the best parts of the game IMO.

Untitled.png - 1556x361, 644.38K

so many normalfags in here

card games are something different, people who like those games are actively looking for that specific gameplay experience and it's not for everyone

it's sickening

is because of the western graphics, it's literaslly normies first JRPG the game itself is garbage

enjoy a good game

it’s popular

branded a normalfag forever

graphicsfags always get filtered by the most irrelevant thing

Shut the fuck up autistic retard, kill yourself

many such cases

Are there even channels that don't do that nowadays?

Because the game insists upon itself in a way that's like catnip for normies. Everything about the game's presentation was tailor-made for normies to soiface at every scene and go "wow, this is art". Elden Ring insisted upon itself in a similar way and this game clearly takes a lot of aesthetic inspiration from that one. No surprise that Asmongold ranked them as his top 2 games of all time.

normalfags don't have time to play the jrpgs this game borrows from, too busy having sex

that's why the devs did it for us
keep seething

the board was always full of contrarian faggots, they talked trash about the nier games and the original souls on release too

boohoo

they

go back

'deck building' faggotry

Eww

No those are disgusting weeb games that normalfags would never give the chance to play.

dodge is just for players who cant parry

I don't even watch streamers and I enjoyed the game, I'm on my late 30s.

It's a deconstruction of jrpg's

Whats the big deal with Alicia staying inside the painting when she has no life outside and will likely kill herself? Like yeah her mom and dad have a life and they should live irl but Alicia is a burn victim who cant speak and is in constant pain so she will probably kill herself before shes even 20 in the irl world so whats the issue with her living inside the painting and just slowly killing herself that way instead of with a rope irl?

Shut up bitch.

Because gay people don't have standards, obviously.

ESL brown hands wrote these posts

Persona 5's problem is its dialogue and pacing is atrocious and it has to remind you of whats going one every 3 minutes because they think the audience is retarded. In comparison a game like rebirth has a lot more meat on it. Clair Obscur has a lot of walkie-talkie segments though that I imagine this cutscene film thing skips

Damn, it's that short and lacking on content?

You should just kill yourself if life is hard

As someone who is chronically ill, fuck you, retard.

*going on every

I finished it in just under 60 hrs with all content except Simon. Its just a bit longer than rebirth I guess, which took me 110 hrs

She is living in the past and torturing the remnant of her brother’s soul instead of creating her own work of art that she could (spiritually) heal from

no it has less cutscenes which is a good thing

*bit longer than HALF of rebirth

im chronically ill too and absolutely kms if there was a way for me to take everyone else down with me

According to her father and what little is shown of the real world Aline, she will eventually go mad after spending too much time inside the canvas.
I still think it's better for her to live inside the canvas anyways.

This. P5R had absolutely no right to take over 100 hours to beat

sheeps, midwits, subhumans. take your pick.

7/10 game

what's the deal with not getting her a fucking eyepatch

Technically yes, P5, Xenoblade and FF all have more content.

7/10, too much gameplay

because they think the audience is retarded.

They are

7/10 is better than what we got in a decade, so what's your point? Name your standards of a masterpiece or fuck off, and if you even think to name laughable 5/10 midwit shite like ER don't even bother replying.

reminds me of TLoU

forced feels 30 minutes in

holy fuck this is a masterpiece

hell Maelle and Gustave look like french Joel and Ellie

Nobody is wrong nor right about that, if he believes killing himself is the right choice, it's his life and his choice, not anyone else's.

The other games are all like 100 hours while this one is like 60

hell Maelle and Gustave look like french Joel and Ellie

yjk that was done on purpose

How bad is the screeching gonna be when Death Stranding or Donkey Kong wins Goty over lel humble 30 person sweet heart studio's dev game?

the game insists upon itself

I cant read that and not laugh

nah it has plenty of content and it's not ubishit chores like rebirth

awful bait
less cutscenes is a good thing

that's one thing i like about E33. it's not bloated with stupid shit, and the story doesn't drag the fuck on for over 100 hours for no reason.

TLoU takes place in a generic unoriginal apocalyptic setting, done a million times already.

I'm glad act 3 was just the finale honestly because the family fued story lost me

I'll just bring up the fact that Dragon Age:Inquistion won GOTY and laugh at all the retards who care about retarded advertising and shill shows disguised as "award" shows.

retard

Thats really good, all the cutscenes are meaningful and dont break the pace of the game like it happens in those games

JRPGs should take note that you dont need overly long and boring cutscenes to tell good story

who is talking about the setting you retard

honestly I'd say P5 Metabore and Stillbirth all have cutscenes with awfully written dialogue that drones on which probably adds 20-30 hours

QFT

Death Stranding 2 will be the best or the second best game released this year without any doubt.

Donkey Kong

lol
GOTY awards are full of wokefaggotry and jewed to the core so anything is possible these days, I stopped caring a long time ago and you should do the same.

it's all girls crying to the prologue then declaring it goty

Why is DK and DS2 not allowed to win over this?

i will say this again - death stranding would've been completely shit on if it had nothing to do with kojima but because it's his game people claim it's some kind of groundbreaking revolution of a game

E33 is exactly the kind of game that wins GOTY, only way DS2 gets it is if Geoff rigs it for his butt buddy Kojimbo.

oh totally
Kojima dickriders are next-level

Donkey Kong is made by the main Nintendo team. It's getting no less than a 95 metascore.

Any jrpg gods here? Is the game anywhere near as good as the hype indicates? I'm about to finish etrian 2u and I'm looking for a new game.

See

search Clair Obscure Expedition 33 on youtube

nothing but reaction faces

gay

Doesn't matter who wins, I'll be laughing at the mules braying over it either way, because award shows are a farce.

This is an indictment on the audience not on the game.
People can only tolerate something new if it comes marketed from a select few people that are allowed to try new stuff. Everyone else must make the same slop as all the rest.

underdog victory

fuck nintendo and kojima

Why are people calling this a masterpiece

They're people that don't play games that desperately want to be a part of something

It's a game where you can spend 4 hours fighting a boss you're not supposed to beat yet, but can, and you just have to get good at it. That's all I need. Also a ton of interesting character build options based on what weapon/skills/equipment you use.

people claim it's some kind of groundbreaking revolution of a game

Not really, I love Kojima and I believe DS is a very good game but nowhere near MGS levels. There's nothing groundbreaking about it, but it's true that the game's premise was never done before, the man is not afraid of innovation and deserves credit.

Metaphor is awful

You don't get brownie points for being an underdog. That's reddit tier levels of thinking.

Go to image board

Threads every day about this game

OP is always the logo

Nobody posts screenshots or gameplay

I still know nothing about the games genre or gameplay because of this

Are any of you fags actually playing this, or are these all just shill threads?

walking sim but it's an empty open-world

wow such innovation

innovation

HAHAHAHAHA

Dodge should be 30% damage reduction, parry 50%

That's reddit tier levels of thinking

who do you think watches that garbage and votes dipshit

completely agree

dodge just doesn't be there just parry and yeah it should just be a damage reduced not nullified

Wouldn't shill threads contain actual gameplay to lure potential buyers? Claiming this game is being shilled in here of all places is retarded.

just admit you have no actual skill which is why you prefer shitty japanese crap

that last boss being a girl fighting her dad because she won't go to her room is fucking stupid lmao

its fucking kino as fuck, what you're talking about

Answer the question
Y/N

If you like FFX, you'll love this one.

i like the parry. my issue is with the dodge. and as someone has said before, the parry should still do a bit of damage.

Name other AAA open world titles that resemble DS gameplay. There's none.

any open-world game or walking sim

Damm, this retard is still making videos?

I'll probably end up liking Death Stranding 2 more than E33. I liked DS1 better than E33 so it would have to drop the ball. Unfortunately journalists were mixed on DS1 and they are the ones who vote.

Lol LOL
Thanks bro I needed this rofl.

If you've played persona or paper mario, you've played E33.

xD

It's a game for FF storyfags who don't actually like any other aspect of JRPGs.

The retards calling this game bad are the ones giving views to the e-celeb nobodies they claim to hate.
I don't care what streamers and the like have to say about a game, I play it and form my own opinion.

It appeals to parryfags and to people who enjoy strategising. The lumina system reminds me of Bravely Default and its wild combos.

This retard doesn't deserve to use a LionCHAD avatar

is this another thread where nobody shitting on e33 posts achievements and playtime? or claims metaphor for example is better despite having not played both games?
metaphor is great and I have nothing bad to say about it, but E33 is better

Theres even a video saying an unreleased game (GTA 6) is bad. Such obvious baiter

youtube.com/watch?v=K8Tikj_0Cqw
They had no right to release this overworld song. I had to put down the controller the first time

reminds me of when BOTW made normalfags think Nintendo invented open world games.

1:00 to 1:20 is so fucking good

I'm a parryfag and I hate it because it's not what I play jrpgs or any turn based rpg for. The game UI is also so bad I literally avoid going into menus unless I absolutely have to, which isn't often considering I can legit press buttan to win for the first time ever in a jrpg, the very thing that idiots that wrongfully mocked the genre for and who are now lapping this sloppa up.

I had to put down the controller the first time

god this sounds so reddit

I stood up and clapped good sir

Opera singing is so fucking cringe when it's in English, fuck you and that "I SEEEEEEEE EEEEE~~~~~ YOUUUUUUU~~" shit.

This game is a weird amalgamation of many things, core turn based combat is Persona/Final fantasy, way too important to the outcome of battle parrys and dodges are from Sekiro, world/boses design is Elden ring, weird shit/mascots and heavy "sad" plot are from every jrpg ever made with western toutch. I mean its not bad but those parry are just dangling shining object in front of a cat, its like adding parrys and blocking to DOOM... oh wait

nooo don't you DARE enjoy anything reee

This, just keep it to Latin, Italian and German.

I SEEEEEEEE EEEEE~~~~~ YOUUUUUUU~~

that shit got so annoying after a while

Most things about it are done well-enough if not very well, and artistically it's very different from most games coming out - not in terms of art-direction, but in terms of leaving most things up to player interpretation rather than telling the player how they should feel.

this post made me cry for real
i had to put my keyboard down

fucking kek

”indie” game

on ps5

hundreds of names in the credits

massive shill campaign

shill campaign centered around trying to change the definition of jrpg

sony

the game is an industry plant by Sony to undermine the Japanese market they abandoned years ago.

Especially considering the dodge mechanic trivializes the entire game.

Where is your parry only Simon run?

"I SEEEEEEEE EEEEE~~~~~ YOUUUUUUU~~" shit.

People who enjoyed that must live next to joggers 24/7, no real human can tolerate it.

rebirth and metaphor are both better

Hahaha what a dogshit taste.
These are the people trying to tell you E33 is "not that good".

dumb phoneposter

xbox had the marketing rights

it's on gamepass

still blames sony

Peak derangement.

yikes reply

The game UI is also so bad I literally avoid going into menus unless I absolutely have to

W-what do you mean an RPG should have more menus than (1)journal and (2) literally everything else?

leaving most things up to player interpretation rather than telling the player how they should feel.

It's one of the things I appreciate the most about it. It hides information from the player, but in a way that allows for making various inferences and connections with other lines of dialogue. It also makes replays very rewarding, you keep finding new details that you didn't recognise the first time through.

I keep forgetting about this game or that I beat it two weeks ago and then I come to Anon Babble and get reminded of it and it has slowly made me hate the game the more I see inorganic engagement and jeet shilling.

Its a JRPG for people who hate everything about JRPGs. The literal top review on steam states "The combat is very engaging EVEN CONSIDERING it's turn-based". It's for people who don't like Japanese games in genral, and also don't like turn-based games, but for some reason want to interface with them so now that the west has created a passable entry they can start saying that its actually the pinnacle of its genre. Also the story was just bad, i find it baffling that so many people even here are falling for this mystery box bullshit

It will be on Switch 2 soon and he'll calm down

oh yeah the menu ui is atrocious
especially the picto/lumina menu

the dodge mechanic trivializes the entire game.

The dodge mechanics actually require interacting with it which increases tempo of fights.
Character building is about as packed as a 5th/6th gen RPG which means it's comically easy to break the game regardless.

It has a great visual style, a terrific soundtrack, a good story, and tons of post game. It's NG+ isn't complete trash. It's a grandscale RPG complete with an actual fucking worldmap you can travel on but with actual shit to do on it which is a rarity. It's one of the best RPGs I've played in over two decades. Which is really just a reflection of the state of the genre when the closest game released to it came out nearly two fucking decades ago.

The dodge mechanics actually require interacting with it which increases tempo of fights.

and completely mitigating any damage making the turn-based system completely fucking pointless as you're basically invincible because of how huge to dodge window is

tempo

neck yourself

I like Turn-based games and the only bad thing about this game's gameplay is the dodge/parry mechanic, everything else is perfect.

Sometimes I wonder how those people live in a bubble where they don't pay attention to anything gaming related. Expedition 33 was in so many Xbox showcase events and those have Japanese games from Atlus and Team Ninja shown off so they're worth watching even as a weeb.

game journalists

lol this, I thought it had a strong start too but it turns into what you'd expect from a jrpg in that it starts falling apart in the last third of the game (just like metaphor lel)

game has two casinos

can't enter either one

I wouldn't know. Parries were more fun and had a bigger payout so I used them instead.
How young are you?

no wonder numbers fall so much after the first act alone

Fire Emblem Three Houses avatar

lmaooooooo

And that dodge/parry mechanic is the single thing most people are claiming are the best thing about the gameplay, and also simultaneously the thing that completely ruins it

how retarded are you? it does nothing for "tempo" and if anything it ruins the glow of combat when you can act outside of your turn in a fucking turn-based game to complely ignore any incoming damage

rebirth and metaphor are both better

i don't think E:33 is the best game ever or whatever but that opinion is insane

I wouldn't know. Parries were more fun and had a bigger payout so I used them instead.

Cool, but that's beside my point. The point is that being able to completely ignore damage when it's not your turn in a turn-based game irks me.

The point is that being able to completely ignore damage when it's not your turn in a turn-based game irks me

because it's fucking stupid

Metaphor is absolutely disappointing considering all the fanfare about it being the CULMINATION of 20 years of megaten. It just ended up being persona, but worse, in a medieval setting

still no argument

Why didn't you listen?

Tell me you haven't played Paper Mario or Paper Mario TTYD without telling me

That's because it is

persona but gutted and worse

final fantasy with half-assed action combat and ubisoft chores

better than anything

not him but I liked those games way more than E33.

dodge and parry should cost ap and dodge should cost more

why would anyone care

One of the main complaints people have with turn-based games is that the strategy phase is fun, but watching the animations play out afterwards is just dull. E33 fixes it by giving you the ability to input commands during both your turn (which was fun as fuck in Vagrant Story and Valkyrie Profile) and the enemy turn (which was only done in the Mario RPGs, which I didn't play as I'm not a tendie).

My beloved daughter...

who gives a fuck?

i don't think E:33 is the best game ever or whatever but that opinion is insane

It really isn't. I literally dropped E33 in Act 2 to continue playing Rebirth just because the combat and aesthetic is way more enjoyable. It's also legit entertaining.

it's inconceivable to me but good for you

The fuck is the point of this thread then? Nothing matters just like the stupid ass plot of this game.

I don't care what complaints retards have
being able to completely avoid damage easily with zero penalty outside of your turn in a turn-based game is fucking stupid

Rebirth>E33>Metaphor. Metaphor is padded as fuck with reused dungeon layouts and there's not even an overworld to explore. Rebirth is padded too but the content that it's padded with is unique outside of the Ubisoft towers but at least you get to explore new areas while doing that. I'd probably put Rebirth at a 9, E33 as an 8.5, and Metaphor as an 8. None of them are bad games, I enjoyed them all.

k retard

E33 was explicitly based on Legend of Dragoon, FFX and Sekiro, not Paper Mario.

which I didn't play as I'm not a tendie

So you enjoy missing out on good games because of some childish vendetta?

absolute rotten brain

unique

How?

what else is there to do outside of ubisoft towers and the same chores in every area?

The director has mentioned the Mario RPG's being things he's enjoyed growing up anon. Most games you played or will play wer built off ideas Nintendo started.

the dodge mechanic trivializes the entire game

it really does

The few times I did try playing tendie games, they all ended up being ass.

contrarians are forced to say they enjoyed rebirth now

grim

lmao

bargaining stage already, huh?

I'm sure there's no outside bias attached this.

I'm talking about the interview he gave. He added the parry mechanic because he was playing Sekiro and thought it was cool.

It was my GOTY last year. Its a better game than E33.

It has like 15 different minigames and each region has a unique traversal gimmicks for the chocobos. Rebirth manages to stay fresh for most of the run time because it keeps introducing new things. As opposed to Metaphor which kept reusing dungeon layouts near the end for the side content.

All the minigames, the OG FF7 already had a lot of minigames but Rebirth really kicked it into overdrive. It feels like playing a Yakuza game in that regard, where there's just tons of varied side content.

Link? I recall him saying the opposite, that he had no idea Mario RPGs were even a thing.

make a turn-based game

give the ability to easily avoid any damage outside of your fucking turn

who asked?

nobody cares

it does nothing for "tempo"

why are you putting that in quotations marks?
You interact with the game at more points more frequently than a traditional RPG. It objectively requires the most inputs per moment second only to insane shit like 1 on fastest. Hence the increased tempo.

But since we're here

You can ignore damage

There are a whole lot of JRPGs where you can do the fights without taking a single point of damage. You can no damage half of the game and the majority of the post game in FFX. You can no sell all incoming damage in Grandia 3. (Grandia 2 as well if you're not on hard mode) You can stunlock half the bosses in metal max returns. There are many many boss fights in Cold Steel you can no damage.
You no damage those games by pre-fight prep. You no hit E33 by actions taken within the fights.

'fraid so.

also ripped off yakuza

yikes

E33 is a mid game with a bad story.

1 on fastest

*4 on fastest

It has like 15 different minigames

wow

post achievements and playtime
post achievements and playtime

it feels like playing a Yakuza game

it feels nothing like Yakuza, also ff had minigames many years before Yakuza even existed

I haven't played Metaphor but I liked Rebirth better than E33. They are both great games but Rebirth just had that adventure feeling to it that felt they were trying really hard to portray in E33 but the by nature of the story just wasn't hitting the mark

Pretty sure you can do no-damage runs in E33 too by abusing shield fuckery. Except against Simon, for obvious reasons. You can still do the immortal Verso strat, stunlocking and other cool shit though.
youtube.com/watch?v=Poy6foApOrk

I gamepassed it. Where are the achievements?

forget the achievements then post playtime

Yeah, the problem with E33 is that after the first act, the adventure dies and it becomes a character drama between a bunch of characters that become more important than the original main party(outside of Maelle). The first act is really good when there's still a lot of mystery and the villains are scarier because they try to make them more sympathetic. .

can I get a qrd of the story in astroturf 33? no, I'm not going to play it, just spoil the whole thing for me

FFfags seething again

into the trash it goes

what's fucking new

I mean let's not pretend there isn't a lot of bloat in Rebirth, but I will say it was worth playing most of the mini games because they were tied into the story, so you were always getting drops of lore which was cool especially if you were a fan of the original.

half the board is riding this game's baguette to no end

as the natural yin to its yan, the other half rises in extreme contrarianism to hate it

Why does this happen with every game that is universally praised?

Gameplay is secondary to normalfags, presentation is all that matters to them. It's the same reason 90% of people hailing this as the "greatest JRPG of all time" don't actually play JRPGs, because they're allergic to anime.

it's so retarded

It’s basically JRPG Attack On Titan and the story falls off in the same way

Rebirth took me a whole year to finish

I cry in the first hour, is that good bro

Attack On Titan

why do people keep saying this?
keep in mind i lost interest in attack on titan early on

p much, this is a rerun of persona 5 where the presentation carried it. only it's not a weeb game and it's 30 to 40 hours instead of 100 hours so that's more appealing to westerners.

the original image had a big border around it so I just screenshotted it to make it look nicer

The gameplay in E33 is good though.

i don't fucking care
fucking end yourself

based

no it isn't - the game is piss easy because dodge is so easy and the balancing is completely fucked

if you've never played a jrpg maybe

No

Grinding isn't hard it's just tedious.

I didn't even crack a smile.

God you 33 faggots are lame.

god no. octopath 2 is way better than this cinematic slop.

you've never played E33. i've played more jrpg's than you, E33 does have good gameplay.

Some french woman got french sad drunk over her french son dying and trapped herself in a fantasy world created by the son, now her husband is trying to get her to return to reality and the people of the fantasy world are caught in the middle where the wife is trying to preserve them while the husband is trying to destroy them so the wife is forced to return, thats the post-twist shit anyway. There's something about whether or not people in a fantasy world should be considered real or not too, but 1) the writers forgot about this part of the plot halfway through the 2nd act, and 2) I'm not willing to discuss that again until the retards parroting Asmongold fuck off from the E33 threads.

I'd rank it below RS2, Enchant Farm and Bravely Default, but above most other JRPGs I played, including the niche beloved ones like Grandia 2, Vagrant Story and MGQ:P.

spamming dodge to avoid damage isn't hard it's just tedious

relax unc don't crash out now

Then parry to speed things up. The dodge window is only slightly bigger than the parry window.

What game are we measuring this?
Normie core like Persona or EO or Bravely Defaul ort games you've never played like Elminage?
Are we measuring this against games with actual deep systems like Emerald Beyond which you've also never played?
Maybe your favorite game is Octopath Traveler 2!

you've never played E33

eat my whole ass

Both are stories about an isolated community of people who keep getting killed by mysterious seemingly unstoppable entities from the outside world, and a small group of them train and invent tools to fight back. It’s later revealed that the main character is the one who caused everything and the story turns into family drama.

you never played it

weakest and most desperate shill line ever

are you the guy who always shills Enchant Farm or is the game actually good?

There's something about whether or not people in a fantasy world should be considered real or not too,

The game never actually raises that question like it matters as it's not actually important to the narrative. This isn't a Till the End of Time situation. The closest the game comes to facing that head on is painted alicia's poem.

Riddle me this Maellefags

If Tom Cruise can do it, why can't Alicia?

turns into a family drama

worst part about E33. were people pissed about it with AoT?

Kneeling.

what kind of profound mental retardation does someone need to have to play a game for 85 hours and 100% it and not consider the gameplay good? we're not even talking about whether or not it's a "masterpiece", your claim is that the gameplay is not good

piss easy

I was averaging 20fps in most battles which made hitting the dodges extremely difficult

Everyone hated the AoT ending but that’s more because of Eren turning into a cuck

gets btfo and resorts to namecalling

lol
lmao

I guess this is some sort of preview of the amount of seething contrarians will have when E33 sweeps all the awards at the end of the year

I fell for that guy's shilling, played it and enjoyed it. The story is at best nonexistent and at worst a shitpost, but I greatly enjoyed the nonlinear exploration (Dark Souls 1 is my favourite in the series for a reason), the build options and the core gameplay mechanics. Extremely comfy on the 'eck.
The webm shill guy seems to hate E33 from what I've seen.

it's not actually important to the narrative

Yeah only one of the two biggest decisions of the entire story hinges on the fact that if Maelle leaves then everyone dies, and whether they are real or not is what is literally up to debate even now

I didn't say it was bad. I just don't think it's better than any other JRPGs because as people have said, being able to mitigate damage outside of your turn is dumb. Like most people though, I just stuck to parries which were at least challenging to pull off.

will win every major award.

Dumb nigger this is literally the OPPOSITE of graphics fagging

awards

imagine caring let alone watching that garbage

muh awards

fuck off geoff

I need to watch this movie again. It's been too long.

that's the spirit

i've played more jrpg's than you

nta but god people like you are fucking insufferable and I'm glad you got btfo

Because it makes you feel powerful emotions if you don’t have brain damage and aren’t numbed on ssri’s all day, you wouldn’t understand.

gets cucked by the guy in my name is earl

oof

Every E33fag should watch desu

it makes you feel powerful emotions

it really doesn't - it makes me feel emotions sure but not "powerful"

overly emotion soiboi detected

I think it does dumb down the game because it encourages throwing everything into attack stats and pictos but at the same time, I do like the idea that you can explore the entire world and stats don't matter if you can dodge everything properly. Levels just speed up how long you need to play perfectly for and I think that could work well for a more open RPG.

nope it made YOU feel emotions, you dont speak for me

Very true!

Shut the fuck up retard

I wasn’t emotionally involved at all

I literally beat the final boss with 0 points in vitality. Just everything into strength, defense, and agility. That's how much of a crutch the parrying and dodging is, as well as pictos that give bonuses

Exp33 will end up making more money than those two combined (about 4mil sales)

damn pinched a nerve

WHAAAAAAAT?? There's a tiny deviation in the genre? A new thing? AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH I AM GOING INSAAANE

The sign of actual clinical autism.
I know you ONLY eat dino nuggies for 25+ years and throw a tantrum when they are not in stock.

I'm glad you got btfo

where did i get btfo, exactly? i love E33, it's going to win GOTY and buckbreak anons for years to come.

nice argument phonefaggot

austists can't into emotion

shocking

Final Fantasy XIII but French

I don't get why people like this at all.

kek

Did you seriously not get emotional at all during the game? The game got me good and I don't even remember the last time that happened if ever. They knocked it out of the fucking park

Final Fantasy XIII

?

it had sad moments yeah but i wasn't dry heaving like you

My main gripes:

no real build variety, you build everyone pretty much in the same way, because offensive luminias a too good to pass

areas that are just background with collectible in the middle (No, really, why whould they even leave them in the game? Maybe just to make global map look more busy/obtuse or smth)

post game content may seem overwhelming at start, but in reality it's quite shallow (the so called "endless tower" is just 33 floors, that are done in literall minutes)

still liked the game though

As soon as the twist happens it cancelled out any emotions I felt. It was all fake and I was taken out of it.

areas that are just background with collectible in the middle (No, really, why whould they even leave them in the game?

they're a nod to FF8 you retarded zoomer who can't even spell "something"

A lot of players like the turn based game, that companies like SE have turned away from. The massive over praise is an attempt to change that.

Kind of like when a guy breaks up with a girl, gets with a 6 and pretends she's a 10.

holy fuck you're stupid

I has nothing in common with FFXIII you fuckin dweeb

this game made me all giddy and if no one else had their toes clenched while they watched Gustave get his ass cheeks cut in half by Renoir then they are incapable of human emotion

unbreakable argument you got there

No I just didn’t care about the characters because they weren’t very developed, and nothing dramatic happens in the game aside from Gustave’s death. Every other noteworthy plot/character development takes place off-screen before the game starts, or at the very end.

what the fuck does FF13 have to do with E33?

I might be articulating this like a retard.
What I'm trying to say is that while the choice she makes (or is forced to make) will fucking wipe out the entire world, they never call into question the weight of ones lives versus a painted persons life.
Sciel and Lune's rebuke towards Renoir in the games finale is about how he's making his family deal with their grief.
I still don't know if Verso would have even made the choice he did if Maelle wasn't going to go full retard and kill herself in the painting via overexposure too. Which is exactly what she does if she wins.

When talking about the worth of a painted life versus a normal one. We have Alicia's poem and Verso's spiel at the start of act 3 "imaginary world with her imaginary family." or whatever he says then. But the end choice goes right back to the fact that escapism is bad and he's about to Marche her out of her dream world.

okay autist

autism on display

nice spoiler tag usage

Normies who never played a JRPG in their life hopped on this game because western devs and graphics and got mesmerized by something that's been around for decades.

its more the music and beautiful cutscenes that made me feel anything. The narrative impact was not as strong due to a lack of connection with characters.

people

It’s bots

he says posting a bland-ass character from the worst Tales game to date

posts Tales garbage

lmao

arise was garbage neck yourseld

LOONEYTROON SEETHING

I pray to Allah it wins GOTY just to see the meltdown.

unbreakable argument you got there

well people like to overreact. if you sat someone down and made them really think about what a true masterpiece is i don't think anyone would be able to choose a game to hold that title. nothing is perfect. it's just retards overusing the word good game by the way

I agree with all of this, but I blame it on a (relatively) tiny budget. If they could polish combat balance and add more content, it would be game of the century contender.

yourseld

go be autistic somewhere else

yourseld

LMAO, imagine posting tales of arise while saying this retarded shit. that's just fucking embarrassing. also you didn't even play E33.

donkey kong

Lol never going to happen, a pity nomination just to keep tendies watching is all you’ll get.

Isn't that the default choice? Journalists are sucking this game off because of the shill money.

BUT DOOOOOOOD IT WAS MADE BY THIRTY (30) PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

If they could polish combat balance and add more content, it would be game of the century contender.

Only if they actually flesh out and have a choice for an ending following Painted Maelle's letter.

b-but muh chiaoscuro two bad endings

Fuck you, it worked for Nier.

Arise sucked.

Because everything good nowadays is a masterpiece according to people. Nothing can be simply good anymore.

because of the shill money.

lmao.

Something like death stranding doesn’t get made without someone like kojima so this is a stupid though process.

yeah this same thing happened with BG3 but honestly I feel that was a lot of normalfags' first crpg

because of the shill money.

What shill money lol, if Kepler, a literally who publisher, can afford "shill money", actual AAA flagship games would never bomb.
Name me one of their games other than Sifu.

the difference between E33 and BG3 is, BG3 is a gay pozzed game made by faggots for faggots. E33 is actually great and is the only western game of the entire 2020's even worth playing at all

The good ending should be a secret in a huge GOTY edition anniversary patch. Then and only then it will be kino.

I think its amazing. You, however, should not play it.

The game would be alot better if it had FF7 rebirth's combat. Having epic story moments relegated to turn based 2010 combat does a disservice to the game.

empty open-world walking sim is so revolutionary because it's kojima

ok

lmao stfu retard

rebirth has way better party based combat in a real time with pause style. But the story of 33 is told way better, and arguably has a better story as a whole.

that was besides the point but okay sure

Because everything good nowadays is a masterpiece according to people. Nothing can be simply good anymore.

Not really, Khazan was the definition of a good game. Not amazing, but a solid fun time.

I just looked at their list and have heard of
Scorn, Pacific Drive, Tchia, Sifu and Cat Quest.

Why do tards like you expect Anon Babble to be youtube? Go watch gameplay on youtube you dunce.

wrong

It isn't and this is fact since it's my opinion.

jrpgGOD here
in the past few months i've finished smt 4,infinite wealth, kai no kiseki, suikoden 1 and 2, and i'm currently on the epilogue of octopath traveler 2
yes E33 is as great as everyone says. you owe it to yourself to play it if you love jrpg's.

"Bad game"

They all know about it.

Hugely popular game in JRPG community.

How does it feel to be on the wrong side of history Obscursisters?

tales-lol.png - 502x577, 439.06K

I agree about the build problems, but the sheer amount of shit we can equip kind of want to test defense maxing and seeing if I can make my characters impossible to kill without even bothering to dodge so I can spend an hour farming an impossibly strong end slice against Simon.

BG3 was made for player entertainment at the expense of a hardcore CRPGs fans enjoyment.
You're not spending 10 minutes reading 100 different flavors of character sheets charting the course of your power progression. You just pick up the game and it gives a baby a "good enough challenge" to make it to the end of the game.

JRPGs are in a completely different scenario in that nearly all of the large budget ones are made for babies these days with basically Kawazu being the only person these days who doesn't give a shit if you quit at the final boss.

right

Dodge is the shitter's parry. Still avoid the damage but outside of the once/turn Dodger picto it doesn't generate any extra AP so you can't go as aggressive as quickly, and you aren't getting the counterattack damage either, so over-relying on Dodge makes fights take longer than they need to.

No it shouldn’t RETARD. Go make your “parry but you still die” game and see if it doesn’t get shit on.

fuck off retard

You do realize the only reason is sold was because of graphics right

so I can spend an hour farming an impossibly strong end slice against Simon.

Painted Power should have scaled with story progress to be honest, uncapped damage was a mistake.
Have it cap to 99k after Paintress, 999k after Renoir, unlimited after Simon.

I've played enough to confidently say I think plenty of JRPGs released last year have better gameplay than it, at least, in terms of character building and RPG mechanics. Namely Vengeance and even Metaphor. That said, I don't particularly rate Metaphor due to its bloat and mediocre storytelling, E33 easily has it beat in those regards.

arise is one of the most mediocre jrpg's i've ever had the misfortune of spending my time on. 99% of the time if i make it 10 hours into a game i end up finishing it, i couldn't bring myself to finish arise even after getting ~80% of the way through it
E33 is so much better than arise it's laughable to even mention them in the same sentence

shit on

by shitters like you?

kek

So, Clair Obscur, right, anon?

damn look at this fucking clueless zoomer mald

Super Mario RPG is literally that and it's better mechanically than E33.

If you dodge you can literally take zero damage, it should be removed or nerf to force parry play. Sekiro's entire gimmick (which is also E33's main inspiration for the combat mind you) is about learning to learn or eat shit. Dodge is a copout clutch

They have a good eye for games to publish, but they aren't really mainstream. Until now I guess.

you mean the environments right
because that's where the entire budget went and it shows

They all know about it.

I play nearly every single JRPG. All of them. Even the Kemco games.
Arise sucked. I'd rather play Armed Emeth for another 40 hours than ever touch Arise again.

Zestiria levels of trash story, blatantly unfucking finished, and an unfathomably fucking shit expansion.
An expansion which, if we go by your metrics, everybody fucking hated.

NUzWIZ5.png - 972x632, 390.71K

The difference, dear retard anon, is that Clair is a brand new IP that doesn't upend everything that made previous entries stand out like Arise did for Tales.

faceblind autism strikes again

Filtered in first 10 hours.

Need anything more be said? lmao

pepe-laugh.gif - 360x346, 42.14K

they don't look that similar honestly

filtered by 1 paragraph of text

i was near the end of the game, dipshit ESL

lmao is that the expansion that came out like 2 years after the game or some retarded shit?

Parry is already better than Dodge outside of the timing window which usually isn't too hard to figure out after a few tries. It gets you bonus AP on every successful Parry(where dodge will only generate one a turn with a specific picto equipped), and successful parries make you counterattack for extra damage to shorten fights. You're already heavily rewarded for using Parry over Dodge, there's no reason to nerf it.

about learning to learn or eat shit

I beat several bosses by just doing hit and run shit and killing them very slowly in Sekiro.

yeah I don't get it either
people need to play more games

I did, E33 is GoTY

people need to play more games

t. guy who didn't play the game he's commenting about

your edit is fucking lame desu and it should just be clea not versoi and francios instead of reddit blob

you already tried this "you didn't play it" bullshit and got BTFO

Sure was. Clearly both made AND rushed to captialize on the normie bucks.
Horrendously overpriced as well. 30 fucking bucks for a somehow WORSE story, no character parity with the main game, and outrageously short.

All of this meant to cap off the failed attempt at turning Arise into an expanded media franchise. Oops!

Claims he hated it.

He keeps playing.

"even after getting ~80% of the way through it"

You can't make this shit up.

i have asked over 100 anons who shit on the game to post their achievements and playtime, just because 1% of them did play it and have shit taste doesn't mean i got btfo. outliers exist but the fact of the matter is the VAST majority of people who actually played the game love it. the fact of the matter is it will win GOTY and will be making anons seethe for years and years to come.

Pearls before swine

damn you sound like you've played the game or something

i said it was mediocre, retard. i never said i hated it. it had redeeming qualities but overall i would never recommend it to anyone and it is certainly not an example of a good jrpg

come to think of it I think it's called a masterpiece because of how bad games are nowadays but i honestly don't think it is one - it's just a really good game

asking 100 people to post playtime

will make anons seethe

Why have you made the game your entire personality? What does it matter if it wins or not? Why are you so adamant about defending it?

B-b-but, I-I never said

Shut the fuck up, retard. Arise seething is so hilarious.

E33 feels like it's going to get the Bioshock Infinite treatment to me.
Source: it came to me in a dream.

damn your party looks drippy af

I could literally ask these exact same things to all of the faggots who spend every day shitting on the game. i actually have a reason to post in E33 threads since i love the game. what is the anti-shill's excuse?

But who's gonna call it the citizens kane of JRPGS?

Suit Monoco

Clea Sciel

Good shit.

learn to read you absolute mongoloid. you will never be fluent in english, sukdeep.

the age of people actually being influenced by MSM is way fucking over.

I don't think it's 1:1 but there's similarities. Their upper lip has a similar shape, same with cheek bones, chin, nose. I'd say maybe only the forehead, brows and eyes are different.

Dragon Quest exists.

the last entry was 8 years ago

Speaking of, do either of you know if they're still going full retard with the gameplay type?

They just released that remake of 3.

a fellow man of distinguished taste

Your party looks very fr*nch

E-Celebs have replaced the MSM in terms of influencing public oppinion, now.

the last entry was 8 years ago

fucking hell

remake

not an actual entry. i'm not even a huge remake hater, i loved RS2 remake, but i won't play DQ3 because it's pozzed and has denuvo

remakes don't count retard

DQXI released almost 8 years ago. DQ barely exists. Turn based from SE is all HD-2D now.

That's my opinion too. It'd be a clean 8/10 twenty years ago, but since half-assed remasters and homogeneous garbage are all that's coming out in the mainstream, it looks like a 10/10 for people who picked up vidya in the last ten years.

it looks like a 10/10 for people who picked up vidya in the last ten years

100%

Clea outfit is based because it would make real Clea seethe.

Then why aren’t you in the ff7 spammer’s threads still talking about it instead of seething here? I thought ff7 was pure unfiltered dogshite, you don’t see me shitting up ff7 threads.

Asmongold.

Turn based from SE is all HD-2D now.

that's because turn based has become a female genre on consoles(guys play turn based gachas) so they release them for the switch which is the female console of choice. hd-2d ensures the switch can run them.

skipped half the story

misunderstood the rest

didn't read

justified his ending choice with shitty headcanons contradicted by the game there are better arguments in favor of Verso, calm your tits

still called it 10/10 GOTY

this is your fuhrer

Ah. You're right

Turn based from SE is all HD-2D now.

i was neutral on it but after playing octopath 2 i love this shit and i'd be totally happy with more

justified his ending choice with shitty headcanons contradicted by the game

What was his justification?

Its pretty clear “no cares about awards” when their games of choice aren’t winning.

The main reason people are praising the game is for its beauty, soundtrack, atmosphere and story.

Arisefag out of nowhere

didn't see that one coming

Is Octopath 2 better than 1? I hated how disconnected the individual stories were (next to zero party interaction) and the gameplay system I liked less than Bravely Default. Although it's still better than the disappointment that was Bravely Default 2, what were they thinking?

t. brain damaged and on ssri’s

The dorito pope has somehow convinced that his marketing event is very serious and important. You have to accept this, even if you fear his marketing magic.

"lol those people aren't real there's no moral debate just kill them"
Which is peak retard understanding of the setting because not even Renoir, who has been holocausting Lumiere for half a century, thinks that it's true, he knows it's cruel and still does it for his family.

Metaphor is literally the worst game of all time. We on Anon Babble do NOT like anime. Anime is for kids. We hate that shit. Meanwhile, Expedition 33 is based and redpilled because it has real men and, get this! The girl is underage! BASED! (We like that.) The story made us cry SOOOO hard. It hit us right in the feels. So many feels! We like this. Best game in the Anon Babble genre since Pizza Tower.

And what did I say???

nta but I heard it was
But I was so put off by 1 that the thought of 2 repulses me.

i don't know why anyone would care about a 3 hours commercial full of pozzed bullshit
every normal person would just watch trailers they're interested in after they drop on jewtube

also these are the people who decide your goty btw

t. Brown

It's been almost 10 years since the last time I had a plot based game enter my very serious and important list of all time favorites. Expedition 33 is special.

Its paper mario and persona thrown into a blender and sprinkled with french dark/surreal fantasy
If you like paper mario or persona you'll like E33.

None of it was fake.

It's more Sekiro than Paper Mario to be honest

also these are the people who decide your goty btw

People always post that as if making it some retarded popularity contest would be any better.

i didn't play the first one but consensus seems to be that it improved on every single area. it could still do with more party interaction but there is some, there's cross path's chapters and party banter, also i'm currently on the epilogue that's actually all of the party together
i have next to no complaints about the game, i've thoroughly loved my time with it. i love how it subverted my expectations a bit with some of the storylines like actually killing people who deserve it, etc
as a standalone not taking 1 into consideration i highly recommend it. i haven't played BD but i got a 3ds recently and am going to play it after i finish SMT 4A

NOOOO ITS THE BEST GAME RELEASED IN 20 YEARS NOW I NEED TO HATE IT SO I THAT I CAN BE COOL ON 4CHINS.ORGSLASHVIDEOGAMES

Kill yourself

I think it has also a very healthy dose of Spiderman, Dr. Dre and the lord of the rings movies.

oh geoff

it would be
I'd rather gachashit win over anything these retards choose

I didn't believe the industry would give it legs until I saw a 10 from Edge, I think that unless Kojima brings out a 10/10 and Geoff gets on his knees live on camera, it'll take it.

That's the secret to the praise. It plays more like an action game than a turn based game despite being turn based. Which leads people into making glass cannon builds with makes the game way harder than it should be which appeals to action rpg gamers.

why are people who started playing video games 5 years ago easily impressed

surely it's only newfags who are playing this niche title from an unknown developer in a completely new series

That makes no sense.

He literally said that Verso's end is just like deleting your Animal Crossing save so of course it's the right choice kek

Same reason we were impressed with most games back in the good ol' days, anon. Plus, mixed with the fact that most games blow nowadays, anything that isn't exactly hot garbage is lauded by the bright-eyed virgins as a masterpiece.

So this is why there has been an influx of this exact dismissive post on E33 threads recently? I thought it was bait, I didn't know it was asmongoloid retards.

most of the praise i see is WOW FEELS LIKE MY 90s JRPGs thoughever

tyvm for this succinct and succulent qrd. i meant to go read the wiki at some point but still haven't found the time

People were Marche posting before he even started the game. Even retards can understand that Verso was right just like Marche was right.

Marcheposting is fun but doesn't really apply in this game since the non-party people in the parallel world don't "return" anywhere, they vanish.

People who love this are jaded people who loved JRPGs from the 90s.

I wouldn't call it niche. It's on the same level of popularity as Dark Souls 1 when it first released.

Based
Marche rules Anon Babble

vagina with clitoral hood and bush

renoir what the fuck

Yes yes bro I know. You don’t watch the biggest award show for the entertainment you like. You don’t go to concerts. You don’t get invited to parties. If other people are doing something together, you’re definitely not doing it, and that makes you super fun and cool. Keep watching you- ah, jewtube, something else you apparently don’t like and have an insult for. You’re just so hecking above it all, so stoic and austere lol

You're correct. I did and still do love JRPGs from the 90s
And I similarly find myself bemoaning the state of JRPGs in the 2020s.

It's not that dissimilar from the music industry right now. But that could just be me getting old and stubborn (retarded)

Unironically based, even if simplist take

Pretty sure if you like paper mario, we’re going to find you seething in one of these threads. Just how it is.

biggest award show

only* award show
just because I don't watch that garbage doesn't mean I don't go to concerts or parties, what the fuck are you even saying?

And I similarly find myself bemoaning the state of JRPGs in the 2020s.

why? it's a great time for jrpg's. do you even play them?

you sound like the biggest faggot

I don't really buy into the idea that the painters are actual gods that are making sentient beings on the Canvas. Clea and Renoir started slaughtering all the inhabitants, if they were actual sentient beings in the canvas then why would they do that?

e-celeb talk

i want you all to die

well yeah, tendies are absolutely buttblasted over the fact they can't play it

Holy projection batman

You don't watch pointless fluff and just want to get to the good stuff? That means you don't ever visit concerts!

e-celeb board.

the overworld is fucking amazing - i think that part is masterful as is the music but everything else is meh and the story is retarded which is as someone said just star ocean 3 but with canvases. the family feud angle is really gay.

maybe they're just not good people

As far as my own experience, correct. Not much to like about anime rpgs the last 20 years.

Clea

She's ruthless and near psycopathic, shown from how she treats Painted Clea and Simon. She calls her parents by her names too, the only one to do so. She openly doesn't care if her sister dies, she just wants her parents out.
And filling her little brother's world with monsters.

Renoir

He does it for the sake of his family but he knows it's horrific and shouldn't have been necessary. Strong will etc.
The whole family is just fucked up.

jeet

When one of the Alicia’s points to this she says “This is how father sees us.” or is it “this is what father wants for us.”? Either way its a giant gaping Hole, and thats funny.

yes i just realized that and regret sharing the video but i love monoco

understandable

shown from how she treats an abomination painted by her mother and some random simp WHOSE HAIR YOU DON'T GET FOR BEATING HIM WHAT THE FUCK

And filling her little brother's world with monsters

to remove her mother and the humans she shoved in there form the world - have you played the game? humans have no place in that canvas. are you aline?

Or they all know that the beings in it aren't real.

Alicia went into the painting to help Renoir too though.

shh he hasn't played the game

aline just gets away with everything

The director used to be a Sekiro speedrunner and it's entirely unrelated.

I did play the game.
Being so personally offended at Painted Clea she turned her womb into a Nevron factory then mindbreaking her husband is peak cruelty, it shows that she's ruthless.

but they're not le humans even though they think and feel and hurt the same

Imagine if she did it to dogs then. Or monkeys. Is monkey torture based?

You’re super popular bro, I just know it. The life of the party, no one can get enough of you.

bro theyre not real people lmao why would she care

are you retarded?

she doesn't view them as people so she was right

I think everyone knows the answer to that considering how he types

She doesn't care personally, and that's why she's cruel as fuck. It's her diegetic opinion. Even the rest of her family aren't so dismissive of their creations.

it's a great time for jrpg's.

Name 5 good ones from the past 2 years

renoir is the only person in the entire family who isn't fucked up and maybe real verso too

long story short WOMEN AMIRITE

I like you. I think we can be friends.

Hmm...

MGQ:P part 3
SMT VV
Romancing SaGa 2 remake
E33
Jackie Chan

painted renoir and verso are both retarded thobeit

Shit, yeah Painted Verso as well.
For some reason the painted women don't have women moments, they just get misery porn.

UE5 game with no stutter

HOW DO

it's fucked huh

Painted Verso

*Renoir
I can't fucking type today

fuck off redditor

get on the piano Versoi

you can tell they were created by a woman

do you even play them?

Assuming that's your list
I'm waiting for MGQ:P3 to be fully translated
VV was better than base V but I had to go for the stupid nutty challenge runs to rip enjoyment out of it because of how easy atlus makes their games now.
RS2:R was great but it was still a re-imagining of an already great game.
E33 is good but I already said I liked it.
