Expedition 33

Nooo, I need to have all the endgame content locked away until I beat the final boss!

do the super bosses before the final boss

You'll one shot the final boss in any game that lets you do this. Like nocturne.

just put super bosses after you finish the game then retard

That's not side content and then you're just making the game tedious because the developers couldn't balance the game.

You can do just that.

they fucked up hard on this. theres no reason why he should die to a single pistol shot

just avoid the best content in the game if you dont want to feel like shit when you continue the story

de-power yourself

how the fuck are you supposed to know this going into the final moments of the game, challenging the "antagonist"? its retarded game design plain and simple

Once I unlocked Esquie's flying ability, I started exploring. I found the endless tower and enjoyed the trials. Stopped at trial 10 and resumed the main quest only to find myself way over leveled.

honestly my take may be kinda weird, but id prefer if the final boss of the story was the biggest climax, making it even stronger than all other superbosses
i think the best way to do it is like SMT VV did it, lock a special variation of the final boss if you do specific side content.

retards who don't even play jrpg's offering retarded opinions

lmao

not only did you not play this game, you didn't play any games in the genre whatsoever. maybe find another thread to be a retarded faggot in

All they had to do was make it where you unlock the "break 9999 damage cap" picto after beating the game. Seriously, players would've been able to still do all of the companion quests to a reasonable degree, some of the extra side areas, see that there are some crazy end-game things to do that they aren't quite ready for, then go to the final boss where they're still somewhat of a challenge.

Then, when you beat the game, you go do things like the Endless Tower and Renoir's Drafts. A single picto unlock skews the balance completely which is crazy.

how the fuck are you supposed to know this going into the final moments of the game, challenging the "antagonist"?

you'd be able to tell by one shotting all the enemies in the final dungeon

what a weird conclusion to come to. do you even own a computer?

the genre

pray tell, what is the genre? 33 has unique dna, it has no genre.

final boss has level 30 requirement

you should know this, gamer

ads are weak therefore boss is weak

the minion types never posed a challenge. he still could have been a challenging fight.

what a weird conclusion to come to.

am i wrong? post playtime for E33 and name your top 5 jrpg's

p-post id saars g-give me your wallet and social security saars it's for verification of your gaming sessions

you are dumber than francois retarded tourist kek

dude just bypass the gameplay with grinding and parry/dodge shit

There is literally nothing less fun than RPG Breakaway.

Honestly they should add a mode that scales bosses to your level

i accept your concession you fucking idiot.
go play ff7 and kill emerald & ruby weapons and then tell me how hard sephiroth is. go play ff9 and kill ozma and then tell me how hard kuja is. go kill the superboss in any smt game and then tell me how hard the final boss is after.

French

based

I'm conflicted.

He's right.
Main quest should be balanced so that it can be beaten by just mainlining. It'll be hard but beatable.
Doing side content should make you the strong.

50 hours in E33

P5 Royal

P3 Reload

Metaphor

SMT5V

FF7 Rebirth

This is why actual well-designed RPGs find ways to keep the challenge level of bosses relevant no matter how strong the party becomes.

smt

superbosses and final bosses are equally balanced. lucifer will never die in 1 hit and you will never do him with a lvl 40 team in a minute just like u do renoir. now consider jumping off a bridge for humanitys sake.

take meds for your OCD and just don't fight them until later, retard.
do you need a mommy dev to make sure you don't eat the entire carton of ice cream before dinner?

i love all 5 of those games a lot but did you just start playing the genre last year? that explains why you're not used to things that have been standard for decades

did you just start playing the genre last year?

the oldest game on his list is from 2019. yea, probably.

just keep playing the game after the climax

doing all content before going back to lumiere is canon. your suggestion is retarded. the canvas is supposed to erase yet here you are fighting single handed man and a flying snake. retard.

this is the best thing they can come up with to shit on this game

lmao

You're still OP at the start of Act 3 even if you skip all the side content. They didn't know how to balance the game after Painted Power. That's really the only downside the game has

You're still OP at the start of Act 3 even if you skip all the side content.

no you aren't

im feeling it now that i only have a few areas left + the story boss

NO MOM my food CANNOT TOUCH on the plate it must be SEPARATED COMPLETELY!!! and what the fuck is this? a sandwich, WITH CRUST?! cut that shit off right now you DUMB BITCH!!!

how long until your brain goblins make you neck yourself, do you think?

FFXs side content took like 100hrs to do legit, this faggot couldn't even properly balance a 35hr game.

lucifer will never die in 1 hit

I mean, it's like a 3 minute fight where you just can't die, and you will still oneshot every other "climatic story boss" in the tower, including kagutsuchi.

fat JDG

on my Anon Babble

Get out you were never funny.

you wrote i didnt play the game yet you dont even have the basic understanding of the plot, kek.

concession accepted

back at you

100hrs to do legit

Because it was locked behind the most tiring grinding imaginable.
If FFX actually gave you the resources for all characters in 4-5 hours you have like a couple hours of endgame left.

It's can be cool but not if you did it in the first playthrough. If you just happen to be thorough with the game and then reach the end, it becomes anti-climactic. If you are in another playthrough and you think, "I wonder how OP I can get after doing all this" then yeah you might get this feeling. But they really need to be careful with it and encouraging players with a balance to follow the story through first time. Or they can do a feature that unlocks more side quests that enhances the player afterwards, something like that.

YOU PUSH A BUTTON
SOMETHING AWESOME HAS TO HAPPEN
BUTTON -> AWESOME

a 35hr game.

why are you in threads about games you don't know the first thing about? i want every one of you faggots to drop dead

wheres the last lost child

you wrote

sure didn't, little guy. NTA.

only rebuttal against saving side content for later is "I DONT WANNA NOT CANON NOT CANON NOT CANON"

cannot comprehend someone enjoying a game enough to continue playing it after it has been beaten.

I accept your concession.

wtf is this french nigga saying

This is a reasonable take. Being able to break the game is fine, hell it's even possible to do that in every souls games, but not without any guidance and on your first playthrough.

As a baguette myself, I love seeing you people struggle with our superior intelligence.
I mean, it was predictable. Looking at the state of gaming this past decade, stuck between asian gacha slop and american fortnite slop.
You guys have forgotten how to make good games. So, as usual, talented Japanese artists and the European elite, led by France, both have to pick up the slack.
That's why Clair Obscur and Death Stranding will be this year's top contenders for GOTY. That's why Sven was there before, and Fromsoft before that.
Japan, Belgium, Japan, France.

E33, as great as it is, is quite literally the only western game worth playing to come out in 5-6 years or more, get the fuck out of here with "European elite" and "led by France"

I mean this is exactly the kind of nonsense people that like jarpig slop like this want.

unfortunately thats not kind of cool, at all.

here's the thing. having the player nerf themselves on purpose just not to one shot/one turn the final boss is just unfun and bad design. am I balancing the game or are you? its not like you get a great fight if you take off painted power. you just turn the fight to extremely tedious. telling me not to do the sidecontent before the final boss is immersion breaking and a bit silly. I think simon while a bit overtuned is at a good difficulty for a superboss (as long as you didnt cheese him) renoir should be slightly weaker than him

depending on when you fight it I thought the Painted Love fight was well balanced

ng+ combo atk +3 only
