Not better but FF8 and Nier:Automata are on the same level
Can't because japs can't write. Their literary tradition is shit like "and then this sad lady killed herself and became a fox ghost and if you go on the mountain she will attack you"
I won't say they're strictly better but Fromsoft has great environmental storytelling in their games

Expedition 33 is unironically a game that requires a shockingly high IQ to fully understand thematically like a lot of the greatest literature. Most of the criticism is because it was advertised towards JRPG fans and they are irredeemably stupid people.

Doesn't exist. There isn't a better story in all of japanese literature either
FF7 is more entertaining, has more memorable characters, and I actual give a shit about them. You can go on all day about E33 metaphors, exposition, whatever I had a more fun adventure experiencing FF7, which is what games should be about

Pushing it there's definitely some manga that tell a better story. Maybe a few LNs and anime but definitely no games.

Yea I'm a fan of Fujimoto, Asano Inio, and Oshimi I think they all have at least 1 work that's better. Fire Punch, DDDDD/ punpun pretty much any major work from Oshimi from Drifting net cafe till modern day the whole run is insanely good.
I remember when bait was believable. All of us here know that Expedition 33 gave us a mature, thoughtful, and emotional experience. Otherwise we wouldn't still be discussing it with multiple daily threads.
dude everyone is miserable and there's family drama that mean it's deep and thoughtful
Fuck off.
If your standard of quality is "fancy" writing - meaning cramming as many rare synonyms in as possible - Japanese can be ten times denser than your favorite "high level" English lit. If the writer is so inclined.

The reason expedition 33 is considered midwit writing is it is very easy to see who to side with and that's coming from someone who never played or watched anyone playing that game. It pales in comparison to what Final Fantasy x tried to tell.
this is a joke right?
Are you Welsh or something?
Yes
No? There are people in the thread mentioning fucking Persona and Nintendie games and you're going to complain about SG?
That's because writing usually has a lot of figurative language, prose and quirks that don't translate into other languages. It's why Dostoevsky sounds so dry and insufferable outside of Russia.
Precure has better stories and characters than e33. They mad e decent first attempt but fell way short in terms of quality and merit

SHIT GAME DESU!!!
jap culture starts to make perfect sense when you realize they don't have childhoods and being an adult there is soul crushingly bad. They're abused so hard by society they revert to the state of a child and they are stuck fantasizing about what will high school be like over and over again. It's honestly very pathetic. Bigly so
But enough about lowbrow Clair obscur
Final Fantasy VI easily. I mean hell ANY JRPG where the focus is character driven and not narrative driven is going to beat out this kind of trash.
Act 1 is amazing because the plot is pushed forwards by the characters and not the overall narrative itself. This is why games such as FFVI and FFVII succeed and trash like FFVIII and FFIX fail in terms of memorable stories. The former is character driven, the latter is narrative driven.
Expedition 33 has a stellar opening act as the characters are given life, purpose, and even growth here and there (other than Sciel) and then act 2 comes along and NOTHING matters any more. There is no character growth or any motivation to continue on other than what the narrative says to continue on about and that makes for a bland experience that is not engaging in the least.
I thought I enjoyed Expedition 33. Turns out I was just looking for a payoff after act 1 and never got it.
Isn’t clair 33 literally just one oldcel constantly surrounded by hot young babes
Worse than any of the Xenosaga games? I find that hard to believe.
FF6, literally perfect

midwit writing is the same as leftist memes, a bunch of unnecessary crap to describe a point that can be expressed in one or two words. Jrpg's are way too fucking simple and are usually brainlet writing.
Where is the cringey forced romance between party members?
Western games are always even worse at this
Where is my self insert teen protagonist with a huge harem??
Even most VNs punish you for trying this
Why is the villain not an evil God??
God is a bit subjective. It is usually a monster or alien with a lot of influence or destructive capabilities. The only example I can think of right now of a Japanese game that actually does this trope straight is Shin Megami Tensei and even then it is actually fake god pretending to be the real one.
Why aren’t the characters all edgy teenagers / young adults?
Most games in general have you play as edgy teenagers or young adults. Most people don't want to play as a decrepit old man.
Where are the outrageous hairstyles and fashion choices?
ironically most Japanese games other than dragon quest, final fantasy and their derivatives have characters with mundane haircuts.
Where is the beach episode?
Name 10 games
Why aren’t the villains long haired prettyboys??
Name 10 games
Where is the cute adorable funny animal mascot??
So like two persona games. Three if you count Teddy who is a literal mascot of a bear
Where are the comical relief scenes?
the only valid point here
You are in a thread where the OP had clearly never seen any JP stuff and judge their entire works based on modern isekai slop. And you are no fucking better. Sometimes works can be judged as slop without even playing it like Last of Us, which all angloids used to pin as masterful storytelling. How things change.
the only valid point here
It's not even a valid point because Clair Obscure does this too.

You don't demonstrate what is exactly better about it. Your response is just a cop-out because the game is densely written, not many people played it. The only people that suck off to that game is pretentious essay youtubers, pretty much the same kind that tries to create lore out of thin air in dark souls. It's like suggesting Little big adventure because not many people knows about the game. Absolutely pathetic.

UBW
Antagonist's entire motivation is wanting to kill his prior self before becoming a hero, since the reality of it caused him to become disillusioned and he wants out
There is literally no answer to this, the dilemma is solved by the protagonist saying "I'm just gonna do it anyways rahh" and the antagonist going "yeah okay I change my mind lol"
Fate
just kinda sucks, saber is a bad character, could have worked if arthur was still a man and the actual ideal hero that shirou looked up to but realized the flaws but that would be harder to sell to otakus who want to dick down the hot foreign blonde girl who was king and had a biological child but was also a virgin and looked like a 13 year old
said king also gets lectured frequently by a japanese kid who had never fought in his life and knew her for a less than a week, but felt like he had a position to criticize her (the narrative treats him as right by the way, she also refuses to wear underwear that he doesn't pick out for her)
Heaven's feel is the only one that doesn't offer some bs solution to it's problem and has real consequences for choices the characters make, other than that HF is overrated

FFX has a more interesting story, setting and themes. The world of C33 is so bland compared to FFX, it’s akin to those soulslikes that fail to understand why souls aesthetic is good. Compare this to the beautiful lush world of Spira. Sin is also vastly superior to the Paintress in the way characters interact with/rationalise it, the story is an epic dynamic adventure too compared to C33 boring ass
FUCK PAINTINGS
She never relied on her brother, except during the fire. If anything, Verso is the one kneeling to her and getting his ass saved. Also, their personalities aren't alike, SHIToko is annoying as fuck.

all you said was to name a western game that is better written and that is exactly what I did you pedantic faggot
Persona 3
If anything, Verso is the one kneeling to her and getting his ass saved.
Verso saved her from their hilariously fatal landing on the beach.
He also saved her when painted Renoir was going to attack her again after his failed gommage didn't send her back.
You'd know all of this if you played the game.
Steins;Gate was extremely retarded, it doesn't mog anything.
Except she did not cry or scream. He came out of nowhere, and she didn’t even know he was her brother.

None of that has any bearing on Verso being the one saving her as opposed to her doing the saving.

Phantasy Star IV
Final Fantasy VI, VII, VIII, IX and X
Lost Odyssey
Metal Gear Solid (all of them)

They're all better games too.
FFX world is not that great and the cast looks like circus clowns. We judge people by their appearance, and not a single character in X has a good design or an appealing personality. They just try too hard to look cool and fail miserably, especially compared to other JRPGs and E33, where the characters are naturally cool and appealing. It’s a slog to play that game when you don’t care about anyone.
where the characters are naturally cool and appealing
This is your brain growing on uniformed capeshit and smoothing out its wrinkles

Why is Sciel so thirsty for Verso?
Underrated pick
Steins;Gate is shit.
Based
he characters are given life, purpose, and even growth here and there (other than Sciel) and then act 2 comes along and NOTHING matters any more
What they did with Sciel was just sad. They had to shove her into the Visage cutscene just for her character to have something, anything to do. Her character also has a possible purpose in Alicia's ending since Sciel supposedly sees the truth of things and her facial expression in that ending is not happy at all. But other than that she is really, "Character that has no reason to exist." Same thing happens with Lune in Act 2, as she effectively ceases to have a purpose after Gustave's death except for the Siren fight, where just like Sciel with Visage, she just feels shoved in so she has something to do.
Honestly, the game would have been better served if Act 2 just killed off Sciel and Lune with Gustave and left the player reeling and confused with not only where things are going now, but also let more tension build for the player in Maelle's and Verso's growing relationship.
Lune staring at Verso in the good ending was all she needed to do. If that was the entire point of her character, I'd say it was a well written character.
earthbound

These are all dogshit.
Nobody has ever said what WEG stands for.
MC is so fucking cringe and awful to witness in motion that I physically cannot watch this anime OR play this game
There's something about Japanese culture just being completely incapable of subtlety, but then claiming to be all about what's not being said, that drives me fucking bananas. It's like HMMMMMMMMMMMM, I wonder what's NOT being said about your giant robot design that has a huge throbbing erection for no goddamn reason? I wonder what's NOT being said about the obsession with highschool melodrama and sparkly idols? I'm starting to think that Japan as a culture suffers from a serious lack of maturity, these days. It wasn't always like this, but these days everything seems to be all dancing monkeys and golden poop.
Nobody cares about your boomer games old man.
maturity
nichijou is objectively more mature than anything in this game. No amount of screeching and impotent whining from 18-27 year old overgrown children trying to punch up will change how embarrassing generic e33 is
I know that your post is just a low effort and obvious bait, but I will respond anyway.
Okabe acts like an idiot because he's a "chunni" and suffers from "chuunibyou" syndrome aka the "middle school second-year syndrome". He acts juvenile in order to hide his insecurities, fears, low self-esteem, and escape reality. That kind of pathetic childish behavior ends up making him end up in a lot of awful shit and makes him suffer a lot. Throughout the game he learns and grows out of that phase and becomes a mature young man. That's his arc
time travel
So fuck sick of this shit I don’t know how people keep consuming the same one trick pony.
That story is good because of the characters genius.
all the characters are rip-offs of better works, even the personality is the same

Slept with Sciel and Lune despite intending to kill them.
Basically rape.
Japanese games fall into either 1 of 2 categories with story:
1) It doesn't matter and is only background for wacky shit to happen.
2) It is moody melodrama that has zero logic and is derived purely on feels and rule-of-cool or immature angst.
There are almost no exceptions. A lot of "people" tend to think the latter makes for good story, because they were raised on Marvel movies and Dragon Ball Z and have no understanding of what actually makes a good story.
Chrono Trigger maybe
Those were the only two on his list I agreed with.

The due in the pic is Verso though, not Renoir.

Truth Nuke.
YOU ARROGANT BITCH! WANNA PLAY GOD? I WON'T LET YOU! I'LL RIP THAT POWER FROM YOUR HANDS AND MAKE IT MY OWN!
Yes. You must be some special kind of stupid if you think she isn't dying from her illness just because you yanked her life support. The autopsy report will list her cause of death is whatever illness put her on the machine in the first place, not "retard pulled a plug".
katamari damacy
Weebsona 3 is on on the same level.. pretty sure they were inspired by it too.
painted Verso having any say in Renoir's actions
Renoir is literally the only person in the story that treats Verso as an other. He tells Verso "accept the Dessendre family's apologies" rather than "accept our family's apologies".
What's your point? Renoir is clearly sorry to the poor bastard about this whole situation, if he wasn't he could have deleted him without the apology or illusion of giving P.Verso a choice before Maelle intervenes

Park Toucher Fantasy ver. MAKO. It's about a pedophile (You) publicly molesting and grooming a little girl named Mako at a public park.
Isayama could never pull off something like E33
Acting=/=Story
You can make the most boring story with no character variety of personality and it's the Actor's job to not fuck up the Writer's vision with common mistakes.
First Tales game?
if he wasn't he could have deleted him without the apology
He can't. He's not strong enough to undo Aline's creations on his own. Why do you think he (as the curator) had Alicia go and rub Painted Renoir's tit to get rid of him?
aot is literally a rip off of muvluv alternative
never forget
Xenogears, Suikoden 2, Star Ocean 2, FF10, Nier, Nier Automata, Star Ocean 3, Umineko,
the only correct answer in this thread
He was literally in the process of deleting him until Alicia pulled him back together

*mogs your gustave twist*
He's undoing the immortality buff, or trying to. Why the fuck do you think Verso's "gommage" is slow as fuck compared to literally everyone else that died before?
people jerking off to E33 when it has the same twist as SO3 and people whined and bitched about SO3's twist
the way the anime injects all the bad ends into the main story fucking sucks.
You can’t
They are all about killing god to subvert le expectations
"Shinzuo Sasageyo" is essentially "for those who come after" and both were introspections about humanity's will to endure harsh and impossible odds only to shit the bed and go full meta about everyone is ebil in the ending.
That said, where AoT was 3/4 human struggle with massive carnage of soldiers charging to their deaths for the greater good. E33 has cunny drama
Holy Fpbp
the worst Kuwabata or Mishima book runs circles around the best vidya story
LOOOOOOOOL
I feel so bad for Yukari
Metal Gear Solid 2 was good
muh cutscenes
Actual game is trash
Fippy bippy
S;G fans constantly begging for recognition in every thread 10 years later

E33 has yet to pull off a shitpost like vidrelated.
Also, fuck youtube for doing its damndest to get rid of this shit with frivolous copyright claims.
well regarded work still beloved after 15 years
Where's the problem?
Visual Novels are not videogames
Either way the best ones have better stories than any video games ever could have.
LOL no
child abuse: the game
S;G did a time travel story right which is hard to do. PT is not better.
Sex with Kurisu
S;G
Not a videogame
Get that off topic shit out of here
It's both Anon Babble and video games, cope.
Nobody played this game.
