Expedition 33

People love this game so much because it's the follow-up to Final Fantasy 7-10 that Squeenix never made.
11 was a MMO, 12 was a weird MMO-lite, 13 was retarded, 14 was a MMO, 15 was retarded, 16 was basically Devil May Cry x Game of Thrones with Ifrit and Shiva thrown in for good measure.

Meanwhile the other big JRPGs all went full anime, Persona, Xenoblade, Tales, Bravely Default, etc

It took 25 fucking years for someone to pick up where Square left things off with FF10, a proper ambitious, cinematic, turn-based 3 niggas in a row adventure not shackled by the safe tropes of anime.

But 12 is the best final fantasy game ever made.

Eh, it suffers from poor pacing.

>boring half baked plot with the most wooden cast ever conceived

shit gameplay to boot

Nothing wrong with going full anime. Anime is kino

Only shitty westoids complain about that.

it's the follow-up to Final Fantasy 7-10

except it's just another flavor of shit like nearly every JRPG in the last two decades

I'll give it to the French - they really have a knack for exposing shit taste

It has nothing of FF.

i just wish there was a bit more variation than generic moeblob shit.

What do you consider the main aspects of classic FF?

Well to begin with, the atmosphere and setting.

So nothing two ffs ever share

Yeah, people just like the realistic graphics, drama and turn based and until now the rest was just weeb or pixel retro shit

look at me i played about 10 games in a subgenre (75% of them from just one publisher!) and am now the self titled expert!

Yet they’re still undeniably final fantasy games

Just how this shit is undeniably French.

HonHonHon! Zhu zee ze verld ez no le vreal! Zhu ver jez playing le zidoe gaam!

Only the French would think this is deep.

You are speaking about brand recognition and nothing else.
If this game had released as FFXI 20 years ago no one would have batted an eye.

It borrows heavily from ff9

so the shilling has been sour grapes from disgruntled squeenix fanboys the whole time huh.

I tried it out and concluded it's overhyped overrated trash written by a feminist woman.
Literal strong female power fantasy.
The game is full of glaring problems, including detaching the player from the characters and story by killing the main character.
It severely lacks detail and things to do outside of the main levels. The combat system is just infuriating repetitive parry slop.
This is what happens when you get fooled by a god damn woman writer. They can't write for shit.

12 is the most boring mainline non mmo ff game. its even worse than 13 and 15 and 16.

I’m speaking about how even blind anyone can tell the difference between final fantasy and other (actual) jrpgs, how someone who’s played only a few games would think this Merde resembles final fantasy in anyway.

But since you’re a shill, you want this compared to final fantasy so as to get some of its success to rub off.

But FF13 has the best art style, aesthetic, world, music and ambiance out of any FF.

turn based slop but fre-

I just want devs to experiment with more artstyles.

Nah it’s way too brown and dour. That’s all people would be talking about if this was the direct follow up to 10.

Depends on what kind of “anime” you’re talking about. If it’s the moeshit kind of anime, it’s trash. Otherwise, it’s fine.

The game plays like Persona 5 and Metaphor, you simpleton.

Do you even play JRPGs? Apparently not, because you would know that if you did.

Man I love JRPGs but I just kinda hate everything about them

Never forget people championed turn based combat for the last 4 years and then rallied behind this game which has qtes.
I still remember how much people shit on last remnant for its qtes.

they’re still undeniably final fantasy games

By what metric?

I mean the entirety of the dark souls parry/roll/world influence would be unheard of if this released as FFXII in 2004

It borrows heavily from ff9

lolno
just the lumina system
at least in ff9 it is actually bALANJCED, NOT THE BROKEN SHIT IN EXP33

It’s fun to inform the shills that squaresoft made super mario rpg, which invented this turn-based QTE cancer

Read: square had already been to this well and found it dry.

33 spam is getting tiresome
go to your vg general

FF9

Balanced

lmao

Yes.
It has a maximum of around 70s crystal points.
And its not

basic attacks crits

basic attacks burns

basic attacks also double attacks

basic attack also applies defensless, poison, paralysis, and instant death

basic attack will blowjob you and make you dinner

basic attack does 9999 always

basic attack also double crits and it is x4

It’s extremely obvious that the people who hate this game are FFfags just mad that it basically blows out Square's entire catalogue past FF10. Sorry that most of us don’t have nigger IQ and think FF15 or 16 were good games or even good FF games. EX33 is the real FF16 and you can choke and dick for being an actioslop nigger.

The hardest FF9 boss is Ozma.

Which would be a fairly-easy boss in E33

it even has Ben Starr in it!

No one who is overrating and shilling this crap has ever touched a FF game or a JRPG before. It's a bunch of bandwagoning reddit numales/roasties. The same thing happened with BG3. Not a single faggot who played that game touched a CRPG before either.

You can't one shot Ozma

Or they’re just tired of the obnoxious delusional shilling

It’s not what you’re spamming, it’s that you’re spamming.

no, it's not. and I still have the original collectors edition of XII. it does get more hate than it deserves though.

EX33 is the real FF16 and you can choke and dick for being an actioslop nigger

E33 is a discount Sekiro, so much better.

how have you been, Ulillillia

weird when it's persona 5 but with frogslop graphics and paper mario timed hits

I have realistic graphics fatigue and won't touch it even if it has good gameplay.

Kys falseflagger

But somehow it's just like XIII lol

I would have preferred if they used a proper art style instead of MUH REALISM but let's see if they change that up in the future. Otherwise yes, you're right. Fans have been asking square to make a proper turn based FF game and all of their leads faggots keep saying that nobody wants that. They can burn in hell for it. I'm glad a bunch of french nobodies slapped their shit, stupid old man jap faggots.

you can kill Ozma in 2 turns with Steiner's charge strat. Ozma is only somewhat hard if you self-impose restrictions on yourself, and don't do friendly monsters.

so you're technically right, but Ozma can still die like a bitch if you set your party up right.
