Should Expedition 33 get a sequel or pull a final fantasy where every game should be about a new story? Imagine Clair Obscure 2 *insert title here* being about a new story and universe

finally I can post her

I thought it should before getting to the later parts of the game, but no. It needs to take place in the same universe so we can get more development of that lore.

Yes, my wife clearly deserves more screentime

I think it should be law that asian women can pee wherever they want and the nearest whiteman has to clean it up

It should get a new story. New story new canvas. Maybe make it a new story with a shared story behind the curtain, like assassins creed but good.

I think thats obviously their intention anon. Thats why they gave it a nondescriptive “outer” title instead of just calling it Expedition 33

Anon Babble, maelle is our girl and she will not accept you talking about other women behind her back

Same character set but totally different unvierses and themes.
Implicitly, there's a "real world" where these humans originally existed but we learn the bare minimum about it.

Clair Obscur is Verso's dying dream and the "real" family is painted as well. It's his subconscious as he dies.

The sequel should be about whoever the IRL Lune is and her having a coma and waking up from it (more hopeful than Verso's journey).

Lune didn't deserve that dogshit ending.

your "wife" has a very sharp jaw
like a man

The sequel should be about whoever the IRL Lune is and her having a coma and waking up from it

She is not real and never will be.

Never saw a woman irl outside of his mom award

The sequel should be about whoever the IRL Lune is and her having a coma

and never waking up from it, and focusing solely on her soles.

The outer title was just obvious foreshadowing.

That's a smart way to actual link games without forcing to play others

No there's a real lover Verso had that was his cope for not fucking Clea. She wasn't Lune but Lune is his subconscious expressing her.
Lune is actually Clea with the hard will of Sophie removed. Lune is also hard willed but more passive and submissive.

I want CO2 to be set in the real world in the middle of a wrigger vs paggot war.

Are these all theories or legit? I still dont quite get the "Its all verso's mind" thing

Because...
Verso's ending could have been achieved by Renoir winning. So why fight him?
The answer is Renoir is protecting the child, and to reconcile with the child, he had to be defeated.
The actual Fracture is the war between child and Adult Verso. The actual gommage is Verso dying and the lights going out.
The only conflict is can Verso accept forgiveness or be trapped by guilt to the very end.
The characters are all real, but we never see the real, the Dessendre family is fake, a consensus imagination of the adult and child.

Basically adult Verso retreats to child Verso's psyche because he can't accept death because of unresolved guilt. This creates the Fracture.
Adult Verso is unwilling to let go.

All interesting, but not only do I not have faith that the writers are remotely competent enough to pull off this theory, especially considering the writing of the journal entries which I will make a thread about one in particular in the future that doesnt understand the social contract, and comes across as trying to sound deep for its own sake, but also what is the actual evidence for your whole idea basically that what we see in the game is Verso making everything up?

The Renoir thing.
But the train station.
The weird sexual energy with Clea, Simon; Gustave and Sophie.
The weird sexual energy with Renoir v Verso with painted Alicia.
It's implying real world relationships that are never clearly stated, but very clear.

The way I have it, Aline was a painter with a WWII vet abusive dad who left, and she took Librium (benzo) with its highs and withdrawals and Verso experienced both. Around 1957 she abandoned Verso in a train station, where he goofed off with a mutt (Monoco) until he found a painter (Clea) to take him in. He saw her as a mother until a sexual interest developed, but she enforced a brother-sister relationship. Simon was a source of jealousy that drove Verso to Alicia, an orphan he could protect to make up for his background, but she was tied to Renoir a smuggler, and the two of them competed for her affection after she turned 14 and turned out hot.

but she was tied to Renoir a smuggler, and the two of them competed for her affection after she turned 14 and turned out hot.

bruh

It clearly is
Probably something with the writers this time instead of the painters

Nigga what the fuck are you even talking about clea has an actual narrow face considering how small her chin is.

Schizo theories

wow, you are fucking retarded lmao "considering". yeah, and an ant has a huge brain, considering how small their body is

CO2 will be about the climate crisis

No, there's nothing in the game that supports any of it

Why do you insist on trying to ruin stuff with schizoposting?

Holy shit bros I lied to Maelle what did I miss here?

Her OP gradient attack

Fuck!

Nigger Aline created Lune. She has nothing to do with Verso

just load a previous save

It's a schizo theory, no need to indulge it

I dont trust faggots who dont know what women look like.
You somehow think this looks mannish

every game should be about a new story

I would do that. Keep some stuff similar or reuse some names. Esquie could be our Cid.

Is Clea a subtle nod that trans people exist in the E33 universe?

Expedition 33-2 is the actual sequel
CO2 is the next standalone game

kekw

Doesn’t feel like a story that needs to continue right where it left off. A Renoir prequel would allow for a lot of freedom and new characters, while fleshing out the original story. Maybe follow the writers leading up the the fire. I wouldn’t mind Alicia many years in the future either. Just don’t start with Alicia moping around and then painting a canvas or something. That would be forced

The only way to have 2 take place in the same universe is circumstances making it necessary to either enter another painting or even a Writer's story somehow, if that's how Writers work. Either to uncover secrets or something else.
That would make the real world take a similar role than the real world in Asscreed except not gay and lame.

Also they can always claim that certain people of Lumière were based ...
... on people that Aline knew. That means the people Lune and Sciel were based on can appear in the real world and we can get updated porn models for them.

You do realize that there are men that look like this right? Remove the makeup, and hairstyle and shes literally picrel.
Look, I dont have anything against men attracted to trans women. I just have to make sure you are both honest with yourself, and everybody else. Infact clea might have a stronger jaw than picrel

Perfection

What is?

Maybe in a picture.

WHERE ARE THESE CUTSCENES?

I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING IN THE GAME AND CANT FIND THEM

Stupid fucking cunt game! I WANT TO FINISH ACT 2 ALREADY, NOT LEARNING RENOIR TIMINGS! STUPID FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT WITH DAMAGE CAPS!

is on renoir

meanwhileni just got to dualiste and am getting my ass kicked

hmmm...it seems i wont enjoy act 2

This woman

New story, but they can use the same world/concepts.

They could easily explore what the Writers are, their conflict with Painters, the other worlds made by Painters, focus on Clea's personal war, hell, they could outright make the main character a painter, hopping between new worlds they've made in an effort to find some kind of answer to something or find someone lost in the world of paintings. They could just make a totally new world/story as well; I'd imagine they could come up with plenty.

Regardless of what they do, the only mistake they could make is outright continuing Maelle/Alicia's story. It's done; things were explained, conflicts resolved, and both endings have a clear, definitive message/outcome. Hell, outside of the family itself, all characters you encounter are either wiped away or put into a pseudo-paradise that will likely melt over time. But we don't need to see that; there's not much point.

weird sexual energy

It's called being written by the Fr*nch.

New story or else they will get to the trails point where people get stressed with too many games following a plot, even Xenoblade 3 sold worse because people didn't feel to play like 4 jrpgs before it

xenoblade 2 was better

I'd like to welcome you to the memorial for Verso. Saying a few words on behalf of the departed will be... Verso.

Even if that's the case, it's a fact that at some point people will get overwhelmed. Imo Xenoblade flaw is not just being a FF but mecha where you can start anywhere without any connection to other games.
Hell, fire emblem and pokemon kinda follow the same structure as well where (save a few exceptions) you can't start from any game

wrong. go play fe 3, 10, 12, revelations

genuinely love the clea trans representation <3

Woah woah woah, ANOTHER Expedition 33 thread?

stupid bitch paintress

10-15 minutes for the first phase

most of the moves long cut-scenes

there is 2nd phase

Bros, I'm not going to make it...
Retarded devs decided that damage cap was a good idea and now I'm going to waste hours just to finish Act 2.

damage caps are a good thing you dolt

attack weak looking ball mob

he 1 shots me

lost hours of progress

The game autosaves constantly, how the fuck?

Mate, if you're just that bad lower the difficulty it's ok. Maximise your multi hit attacks to circumvent the damage cap you got this bro

fuck you retard. NTA, but its never reasonable to engage with somebody's qualm by just slapping on a deragatory label.
its a fucking videogame. its not possible to be bad at it unless youre competing against other players. he just needs to understand the game more, which is the point of trial and error. if he can be more specific we can help him like actual real fucking individuals, not npcs programmed to respond haughtily.

only if u menu or loot

Why is Lune Asian?

Reminder that there is no "real" world and it is just another canvas or novel.

You spent an hour not looting anything, not figthing anything, not entering any new area, not hitting a single flag?

i was exploring and died a few times. didnt save

stfu bitch

Imagine Clair Obscure 2 *insert title here* being about a new story and universe

This one please. I want Square to be thoroughly beaten at their own game (literally) this hard.

I'm telling that the boss is artificially prolonged, not that it's difficult. Either give us fastforward button so I didn't watch the same attacks for minutes or save after 1st phase.

they cant even make a 2nd. the whole "its a painting" twist killed their future

This is like saying they can't make a Final Fantasy II, they closed the time loop after the first game.

Isn't Persona already doing that?

that would be true if that world was fake. it was real in game

Plebsona is a VN/JRPG hybrid SMT spinoff and not a replacement for Final Fantasy.

so its a jrpg

Aline doesn't recognize Lune Sciel or anyone else. Didn't consciously create them, probably wasn't even aware they existed.

They aren't copies of anyone, they descend from generations of canvas people. Lune and Sciel are unironically more "real" than Verso, who mostly has fake memories.

they'll put out 2 sequels, a battle royale, and a shitty movie. We will hate this game by the end of the 2030

Take OFF THAT persons makeup and she looks like THIS person WITH makeup!

OK?

nope horrible idea let good stories rest (just like good paintings)

lol awfully defense there troonjaw

elden ring kekw

i didnt say she literally looks like picrel in picrel, i said that "she is literally picrel" its a claim of essence in appearance. I just gave a pic of picrel cuz it was the only close up, none naked pic i could find in the 5 minutes i searched online
why are you mad clea looks like a trans girl? transwomen cant be appealing? hmmm? kek
