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.

based Anon Babble becoming more trans accepting

do guys think theres any cute girls irl with masculine jaw

What are you having trouble with? Renoir at the Monolith's peak? His moveset is fair.

I imagine you pajeets are very excited for the latter seeing as guaranteed shill campaigns will give you a steady income of rupees.

Clea is not a tranny you suicide worshipping cultists

I definitely wouldn't want a direct sequel. Something in the same world about the writers would be super neat tho

I wish NG+ was hard
There is no reason to do NG+ really but I don't wanna stop
Just a little longer

Sequel takes place an unknown amount of years after 1

You meet the boss of the Writers at the end

It's an old woman with a burnt face and one eye

meet writers

its the devs

thanks for playing our game

Imagine playing this at all lmao

Bro look at this mid asian girl with a weird model... she's the least ugly girl ijn the game bruh this shit fire

LMAO

It really depends desu

Nigger wtf? I gave him two fair tips. Quit being such a cry baby bit- waaaait. This is totally a bot. Aint no way you're this gay. :)

It's not that exteme at all. The animations get cut short after their first use.

The game even auto saves after X amount of time though. Weird little situation you got G.

what if instead of damage caps in the next one they had reverse damage caps?

Sequel should start with the Writers going into the Tome to fight their Written creations, the Painters. But they have to hurry or else the Dreamers will wake up.

hours gone. not gonna continue playing such buggy game

Yeah, you're full of shit. You lost 5 minutes and cried like a bitch.

7/10

Siete de diez

Game is a pathetic ripoff of FFX and FFTA.
I said what I said.

3 hours and yes i cried

reminder to...
eat cowshit jannies

finally unlocked Stendal

it's postnerf

I will never have fun with broken build.

I want it to be in the same universe, but
different stories and characters, like Claire Obscure: Writers Resolve, Claire Obscure: Sounds of the Night, Claire Obscure: World of Glass, something like that

heh does that mean you think im cute

just drop turn base and make it like elden ring

I "fought" simon well after the nerf and exploded him for like 5 times his max health. you just gotta believe.

now play an actual hard game like wizardry 8

there are few merchants. They have some items which I can't buy because it says "you need to find expedition member" or something like that. I approached them with Gustav, Monoco and Alisia-Maelle. Are there more party members?

It looks like that. Does it mean journals?

A game about artistic creativity

Muh same universe

You are the reason corpos like Disney exist. Let them make new stuff

I wish Squeenix would make more ripoffs of FFX and FFTA

You may not like it but this is the ideal male body type.

I actually do want Alicia back, but I guess it would be better if the sequel was disconnected to E33. Because trying to rope in the Dessandres again might feel too forced.

Just set it in the same world, and explore the other magical professions they probably got like the painters and writers

Only if she becomes hotter in her 20s

What does it look like underneath?

If still says that after you got monoco it's because these items were for Gustave

idc as long as it gas cute barefoot girls

clair obscur expedition 33 is about painters creating worlds with paint

clair obscur 2 is about the writers creating worlds with words

clair obscur 3 is about musicians creating words with notes

I'm pretty sure I approached this merchant with Gustave.

I kind of feel like the developers for clair obscure would start running into the same issues Squeenix did if they go down that path though.

Its the issue of having to change up the gameplay in a significant way on the next sequel to keep the game fresh. Every new FF game changed core mechanics or completely altered them. There is only so many ways you can put a spin on turn based combat, you can change the way characters level or learn abilities, change how pictos work, but how many variations of this is possible?

Its why square did things like ATB, espers, jobs, junctions, materia system, sphere grid, etc, etc. Pictos is almost the same exact thing FF9 did, only difference is pictos are 'accessories' that teach you skills, where FF9 taught skills with the armor and weapons.

The combat in claire obscure is fun, but would you play the sequels if they all kept doing the same thing? It has to be changed or people will grow bored no matter how much they say they love turn based combat.

Completely new story, set of characters. Have the ending reveal that it's the Writers this time. Make a third game where they collide... having to fight a common threat.

Persona/SMT has been doing the same thing for decades.

Claire Obscure itself could easily be a franchise but there's no need for a direct sequel to E33

Thats a good point, their games have clearly evolved over time, but the core concept is the same. Collecting demons(persona) never gets boring.

please stop posting this nasty looking bitch. She looks like she smells. Ugly game

Sequel is a survival horror in a painted world done by Andrew Dobson

This game is just a Deemo ripoff

gustav gun

my fucking sides man

if nothing happens in a few months law wise against Sandfall studios for this this will be like the Lion King case,nobody will care and the most popular IP will win

It's just wine and candy

Lion King

Hamlet is in the public domain, retard. Nobody cares that Disney stole from Shakespeare, he died hundreds of years ago.

Disney stole from Shakespeare

he doesn't know about Kimba

lmao,okay retarded peasant,you very smart indeed lol

Nah, the actual universe of the game sounds extremely enticing and we deserve a game set in that world.

They've set up a universe that they can play around with. Painters, Writers and who knows what else. It would be a much better experience to have a new story within universe.

uh, bros? why did she look at me like that? did i choose the wrong ending or something?

he got very quiet after this,i wonder why?

Kimba

Meh, who cares about Japshit.

Clea won. Sit down 4/10 asian woman.

And? You don't want your babies to have chad chins with her ferocity?

...anon, Alicia's not getting any better.
Unless you are into Katawa Shoujo shit.

She's in her 30's. Your children are going to be retarded.

My mom was 36 when she had me and I'm retarded enough to be here, so maybe you are on to something

mfw I was retarded enough to kill a few of the friendly Nevrons, locking me out of the chievo

mon visage quand that means I have an excuse to do NG+ after all

I knew the outcomes and still killed all the white nevrons on spot in NG+.
Nevrons must die.
Total nevron death even.

How can anyone like her
Imagine abandoning Francious like that

she grew up, time for you to do the same
