I dunno. Fitgirl repack is not out yet.

>>1249809 rutracker is your friend

>>1249675 Graphics are great and the beginning is very emotional, which is hard to pin down. The french did it well, in my opinion. Also, Maelle on Expert is raping my ass really hard. I think i have to go with Expeditioner difficulty considering mobs will have hit patterns you need to memorize and i dont want to get wiped every other random battle.

>>1249960 How well does it run on (You)r hardware?

>>1250102 i play on DLAA, high with Epic textures and get 60fps 1080p. But im playing with Lossless scaling since im fortunate enought that my 3060 12gb is not smearing and ghosting the game like lossless does for some others.

I just finished the prologue I can see why people are hooked. Then again, these games usually fucking collapse by act 3 so I'll see.

>>1250192 >DLAA >Lossless scaling >Barely scraping 1080p @60fps

>>1250309 Looks very good ingame and still looks good as a creenshot i pasted into paint.

>>1250309 UE5, please understand

>>1250471 Oh, this is the shitpost thread, i see.

>>1250441 >>1250192 Yeah, UE5 is brutal. A770 16GB, XeSS 76%, no framegen, 40fps it's okay though, the game is really pretty (not like that Oblivion)

>find a hidden beach area >have to play an only up style platforming challenge to win a bikini outfit >comical steel-drum beach version of the depressing main theme plays in the background >doing this right after one of the main characters just died game's great

It's a lot of fun so far. Play it.

man i wish france was real

Gonna go beat it to Sharon Lee to satisfy my Lune lust.

>>1251182 >google "Sharon Lee" bruh that's one busted ass "American Asian" porn bitch Lune lowkey looks like Emiru you'd be better off going to an e-girl AI thread

>>1251151 isn't it some real country in eurupe??

>>1251199 I'm sorry that I like actual women.

>lune is barefoot >impossible to get closeups with the camera REEE why must they tease us footchads like this?

What difficulty? Is normal too easy later?

>>1251215 >"muh actual women" nigger she's ugly as fuck and looks nothing like Lune anyway she's the most generic ugly porn Asian, this is why western Asian girl porn is so bad they're so disgustingly American looking

>>1250429 >Looks very good ingame and still looks good as a creenshot i pasted into paint.

I think I'm finally getting bottlenecked by my 10 year old CPU. Game's pretty good but I have random sound desync and framerate drops when I'm trying to time an attack or dodge can wreck a boss fight.

I can finally play it today but I'm playing thl too...

>>1251310 That's what Asians look like to most of us, you're never going to see a Kanna Hashimoto looking Asian character in a western game.

also I forgot to add in my previous post Lune is hot.

>>1250968 please tell me it's lune that dies and not any of the other ones...

>>1251201 That’s some ngubu infested shithole, he means real france

I'm just 2 hours in and I like it. I saw a few references to other JRPGs in the prologue (Estelle, the trash can guy, probably a bunch of others I'm missing too) so looks like the devs are actual JRPG nerds. Combat is like HSR but you have actually more than 2 buttons this time, and the parry/dodge makes each encounter engaging. Although for JRPG standards the dodge/parry window is a bit unforgiving.

>>1250429 looks like it has vaseline smeered all over it. Do you have chromatic aberration on?

>>1250429 >EU5 garbage looking game >blur and shitty lightning >AA fucks everything up and it makes it look muddy >just your typical green scenery props from UE marketplace and default models I hate modern devs so much it's unreal

>it's another UE5 war crime Oh for fuck's sake, the marketing made it sound like it would be just a reasonable AA release.

>>1251820 >Be me >Go to art gallery >It's the same shit on all the walls >Oil paint on canvas All jokes aside UE5 is total horseshit.

>>1249675 yes it is based cunnyghost

The Paintress was just holding off an even more destructive entity, the true cause of the Gommages. She paints life, he paints death. The numbers were just those she could save from him That entity? The Curator, and the original version of Alicia's father. He played you like a DAMN fiddle Also the entire goddamn setting you interact with for most of the game is a magical painting world created by Painters in some kind of war with Writers in another dimension, and both Maelle and the game's Verso are creations based on the real Verso who died saving the real Alicia from a fire after the Writers somehow used her against the family We're reaching levels of Being Final Fantasy that shouldn't even be possible

>>1252043 That sounds retarded. I don’t know if I want to keep playing now.

>>1252059 It's fucking weird, but I sure as hell am still going just to see everything through to the end. At least the game isn't telling me to go back to living in a wheelchair because escapism is unhealthy. Granted it is kind of frustrating to know that any mysterius about old Lumiere and the mysterious catastrophe in the distant past are just mommy and daddy coping about a vague tragedy in their past

>>1251151 >man i wish france was real fr fr

>>1252088 BASED director.

>>1249675 There's not much to do. just running through empty linear maps fighting enemies. It gets boring quickly and the characters aren't interesting

Found a fix that corrects shit combat.

>>1252127 FFXchads, we won

Watching some of the footage it looks like either the lip syncing in general is garbage or they used the french dub to sync it for some reason. All the english dialogues look off. So which is it?

Is Gustave supposed to be a shitty buff bot? His parry damage does like 4x everything else lol

Has anyone played it on Piss5? How does it run?

>>1249675 Ourguy™ Mortisimal liked it so I'd say it's kino (I haven't played it)

>>1252279 >2025 >playing the console famous for having GOT >NO >GAMES ISHYGDDT

I'm enjoying it, exploration and fighting the optional enemies has been consistently rewarding. But the parry window seems so tight it's pissing me off, and I think the plain cutscene direction (camera, editing) undermines the good English dub

>>1252461 I said it before, but unironically most of the difficulty comes from the enemies doing fancy twirls and lightshows instead of having consistent telegraphing.

>>1250309 >Doesnt know what DLAA is

>>1252176 How you gonna go ahead like this and say you are fucking dogshit at games unapologetically?

>>1249675 Worst time to release when 4chins is down. Where are they going to get free advertisement. >>1252507 Pressing a single button in time is the cancer of modern gameplay and has to go. It's a console nigger shit for retards.

The Demineur is a man of taste.

>Final boss after the Curator, when you decide the fate of the painting by playing as Verso or Maelle and fighting the other. Yes that's right, the tutorial fight with Maelle at the beginning of the game is also the final duel you have in a sense because Gustave/Verso is the same kind of idealised oniichan archetype. And all this is even possible because Verso has found out he can interact with the vestige of the real Verso's soul, who is the actual reason why the Painting is sustained and the cause of Alina and Renoir fighting over whether the painting should stay/go. Verso wants Alicia to leave and start healing from grief, and Alicia wants to stay in a world where her face and throat aren't mangled, to keep the painting alive and to be with onii-chan. And Verso knows after their fight, Alicia was bullshitting to her dad about being able to quit the painting any time she likes >Choose to play as the gruff untrustworthy traitor and the Painting ends, all your friends forgive or at least extend understanding to you except Lune who just kind of sulks outside the room. But the painter family finally mends bridges, and even with her scars Alicia has the chance to move on and make a life of her own with the memory of her Painting friends cheering her on >Choose to play as the idealistic imouto with anime white hair and a last minute asspull powerup that literally lets her do more than 9999 damage and who just led an army of resurrected expedition members to glorious victory that is constantly pleading with said traitor to stand down and talk things through during the fight, and Verso dies first begging Alicia to end the painting for her own sake, and then begging for death because the last thing he as a vestige of the real Verso wants is for his little sister to waste her life away in the painting forever as a living lie tying her to it. But instead, Alicia is so mindbroken by lack of onii-chan that she resets the painting's reality so Verso as Gustav gets to live a full life. Verso/Gustav senses this is fucking wrong but sees a vision of Alicia's mangled eyes from sustaining the painting, and ultimately just goes along with it in utter defeat Absolute kino. This game made the point FFTA tried to a thousand times better than the original.

How is the gameplay? Is it completely balanced around parrying or can you unga your way through with good teambuilding and equipment preparation?

>>1252579 I'll be honest with you: In my experience you can unga bunga the first third of the game, but once you get to the turtle you MUST parry 'n punish. Everything hits too hard and has too big a healthbar to just tank, and Defense/Vitality just doesn't ramp quickly enough.

>>1252594 Damn, that's what I was worried about. I think new Yakuza games have it right, where the perfect blocks reduce the damage by ~30%, instead of fully negating it.

what's with these attack animations?

just realised I'm cooking french for dinner yummy coincidence

Lune my lawfully wedded wife

>>1252636 Lune is based for raging against hypocrisy, lies of omission, betrayal and ultimately the destruction of her world even though it was the objectively correct outcome.

Is the deluxe edition worth it? it's just 1 costume for each person?

>>1252677 I wasn't blown away by any of the costumes, so I'd say only if you really want to give away your money to the developers.

>>1252273 He's a decoy protag. He gets killed so they never bothered making him actually good.

Good visuals, fun combat, beautiful women, decent voice acting. Only downsides are weak exploration and you cant sex Maelle.

>>1252761 >beautiful women lolwhat they look like something out of a WEG

>>1252761 >and you cant sex Maelle Just when I was thinking frenchies are based they go and do something stupid like that.

https://www.nexusmods.com/clairobscurexpedition33/mods/13/ IT HAS BEGUN

is this game woke? i must know

>>1252088 kek, he knows

>>1252176 Based Imagine pressing qte shit in a turn base game

>>1252945 define """""woke""""". Are there blacks in the game?? yes, theres plenty actually, many copy paste black NPCs, is that what's woke to you? If not, then nope theres nothing else ""woke"" about the game, chicks are hot, the characters are good etc

>>1252945 There's no political extremism but the target audience for the game is clearly women, fags, and effeminate softboys. Liberal leaning and inoffensive.

paper mario for oui-aboos

>>1249675 Just started Act 1 Graphics make me feel like I'm playing a AAA naughty dog game Animations are definitely AA tier Cutscenes are high budget. Story has a good hook Maelle a cute

Does anyone play on steam deck?

>>1252950 No, it's about this : >He also cited difficulties of shooting in Paris due to multiple construction sites around the city, so "Paris is ugly now". https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/amelie-sequel-jean-pierre-jeunet-audrey-tautou-paris-france-a8904181.html

So is this telling me what attributes to boost or what? It looks a lot like dark souls weapon scaling

>>1249675 It has good presentation and makes an effort to deliver an emotional story. Everything else about it is mid. The design is bad, the combat is unbalanced between rpg mechanics and trivializing everything with parries.

>>1252945 Maelle is supposed to be a red haired white female but they had to make her an weird fake tan orange goblin with black eyebrows and the shade of auburn old women have to dye their hair Call me crazy but that's what's happening here. White humans being censored from media

>>1252945 How fucking sad is your life

>>1253012 Faggots will get baited into the bad ending though.

>>1253660 >get baited into the bad ending Literally how? You have to take Maelle's side at a point where she is clearly having a codependency melty instead of honouring the strong selfless white man simulacrum Verso's wishes and incidentally beating her up in a fight while her Painter powers are presumably exhausted from fighting her daddy and reanimating all those expedition guys as smoke zombies

>>1253660 Nevermind, I mistook your use of "faggots" as colloquial. Actually yeah if you're a fucking idiot who doesn't pay enough attention to the plot, you will in fact be tricked into Maelle's lotus eater trap that fucks her over the hardest out of anyone.

>>1253711 The moral of the story is lack of big brother cock is disastrous for women

>>1252957 >>1253012 >>1253188 >>1253311 >>1253613 faggot subhuman nigger loving shitskin shills back to your shithole from what you crawled from Is this a faggot game that took blackcock jewish money and does have faggot shitskins doing faggot shitskinery or not? Can you answer that you fucking apes?

>>1253854 >nigger first to die after prologue You tell me Also, HANDS UP DONT SHOOT

>>1253311 I did a mass reply anon, is woke but only slighty? Ok, skipping it as much as I despise gatchas I understand why people flock to them, no such black cockery jewish faggotry subversion there yet but for now they are only jewish with monetisation and not chars themselves

>>1253188 did a mass reply anon, but ofc he can't say its full of niggers but then again I don't follow this crap so whatever

>>1253012 did a mass reply, anyway, ty anon so easy skip

>>1253854 >>1253892 >>1253901 >>1253910 the game baits you into thinking you're going to have a black party member, then kills him as soon as the prologue ends

>>1254020 WTF?!?? I LOVE BAIT&SWITCH NOW!!

Punished Maelle is even cuter than regular Maelle

>>1252176 A woman is a better gamer than you https://youtu.be/XxuO_lM4fwc?t=3580. Even after dying several times on the highest difficult, she doesn't give up and don't change difficulties. Meanwhile you are using a fucking hack. Shame on you. Shame on you.

>>1252579 Theres a boss right off the bat that one shots you if it connects, so I'd say it's pretty important

I'll never understand the appeal of these "games" same with final fantasy, its a glorified VN with a lame combat mini-game in it. I guess its no surprise that they are so popular with women

>>1254041 The whole game is a slow burn towards Godmode Yandere Brocon Maelle

>half of the steam players are Chinese Hmmmm

>>1254302 Based chinks I guess

>>1254302 >mutts see attractive women and refuse to buy

>>1252945 If you have to ask the question then yes it's woke, dont play it. It's not for you.

>>1254317 >2025 kek too true. But this is what they do when they see globohomo https://gamalytic.com/game/2457220

>>1252945 Black guy die first hour of gameplay

>>1254328 >scrappy optimistic teenager is wrong and the old, grizzled men are right Its anti-woke

>>1254302 I'm chinese and girls aside, the general aesthetic of this game is a soothing balm for my paris syndrome so yeah it's a fair cop guv

>>1254351 This. The entire finale of the game is a histrionic mentally disturbed girl losing the moral highground to the mistrusted but noble vestige of her dead older brother.

>>1254302 half of steams users ARE chinese at this point, it seems the language section of the november 2024 hardware survey had 50.06% of users under simplified chinese, but it saw a 25.04% drop in march 25 for some reason(monke game?)

>>1249675 >turn-based """gameplay""" >good Just watch it on JudeTube, plebe.

this or hundred line?

>>1254387 Strange question. If you like weeby stuff, Hundred Line. If you like frog stuff, this. Neither is going to revolutionise gameplay completely, and I don't know enough about Hundred Line to compare anything else.

>>1249675 Always cool to see a long hyped game actually comes out and people like it.

>>1254413 >long hyped I'll be honest, I didn't even know it existed until a few days before release and the Monoco trailer randomly popped up in my feed. Instantly interested. Glad for the experience; really helps that it asks for a relatively modest price for so much graphics/music work.

500k copies sold. Massive success!

Probably a really dumb question but what is character customisation in cutscenes? If I disable it I get the intended vanilla story right? I only ask because Maelle is wearing what looks like her DLC outfit, the mime top and pants (I'm barely into the prologue though).

>>1254302 frogs too busy wageslaving?

She is 16, you sick fucks!

>>1254467 impressive, very nice. here's to 500k more.

>>1254486 you can turn on customization in cutscenes in the options

Anyone else playing on keyboard and mouse have it where pressing dodge or parry just does nothing? It's not a matter of me pressing the key too early or late and eating the hit, I press the key and there's no animation or anything and the party just stands there and takes the hit. >>1254467 >dev's debut sells half a mil in a day Love to see it.

>>1254516 Out of 10. Also damn she cleans up well, she must be rolling around in dirt or something in Lumiere. I find it funny how the game never actually explains how the fuck Painter powers work, they're godlike JRPG endbosses in the painting but just guys with a weird astral projection trick outside it. Also they just casually drop that there is some kind of civil(?) war going on betwen Painters and Writers, and that her nee-san thinks she can win it solo if she has to

>>1254467 Oh fuck, the fucking ex is the painting's version of the older sister isn't she?

there's no way the art style of this game appeals to anyone but women

>>1254575 It is literally a rejection of modernity in both aesthetic and themes, it absolutely appeals to me as a man.

>>1254575 >men actually look like men, & not androgynous twink boytoys couldn't be more mistaken.

>>1254575 >masculine men >feminine women >based on a society with actual culture behind it I see nothing wrong here.

>>1254369 LONDON O N D O N

God I want to hug Maellicia and kiss her cheeks and tell her everything is going to be alright

>>1249675 No. Westernslop can't dream of copy the soul of turn based RPG. And without soul, turn based games are fucking boring.

>>1254733 westerners invented turn based RPGs thoughever

If you max the quality settings the game no doubt looks gorgeous. But am I crazy, or does low settings actually look significantly better than medium settings? While running better. I was playing on medium but now that I swapped to low I don't think I'm ever switching back.

Just finished Act 1

>>1254733 The west had the autism to create Wizardry, Dungeons and Dragons, Ultima, The elder scrolls, Gothic and a gorillion clones of said games. but the nerds that made those games retired, died or get shamed and pushed away in the modern day industry. Fatlus and Project Moon are the only companies that i trust to make interesting turn based games....FOR NOW

>>1254972 >Fatlus After how toned down the resolutions to Strange Journey Deep, 4A and V were I don't trust them either

>>1254066 And?

>>1252735 Not too surprised by that. Typically when you hire someone like Charlie Cox for a character, that's ultimately what happens

>>1254987 VV is great

They already sold 500k COPIES (note: not players, copies) and they have a game plus deal in addition to that with Microsoft. I'm reallly fucking glad the game is already a success for them. Reminder that this is a team of 30 people.

>>1255053 >VV is great >"Cars kill people, should we drive?" >Let another goddess who literally tried to kill you (and Goko) walk away just because uhhhhh plot on one route >The other route literally makes everyone, including Yoko, happy >Also neither route actually solves the underlying problem of the Mandala System despite being touted as such as Satan notes you only changed reality in one universe No

>>1255084 Yeah 500k on first two days plus gamepass is really strong for an effort of this size. Glad its paid off.

to the surprise of noone the final boss is fought at the eiffel tower lol

>>1254574 no its sciel

>>1255115 >gamepass welp, I guess we have the answer then : >So, is it really good? No, it's trash

>>1255104 That's fair enough, the writting and the characters are a massive step down from SMTIV, SMTIVA even but you can't deny that the gameplay and music is great... look it's way better than E33 parry dodge slop gameplay

>>1255183 I must admit I am not exactly biased about recent Atlas writing specifically because I am still salty about what a fucking joke the "Bonds" route in 4A turned out to be.

>>1255216 *not exactly unbiased, I mean

>>1255173 Lel, unidrone retard. It's copies SOLD. They got actual numbers and the game got the game pass in addition to that.

Where is the chromatic boss in crimson forest? I found the mime and already beat the zone's boss

>>1255216 33 actually nailed the message well unlike Metaphor: SHITfantazio

Was the game launch-day censored between the demo or now? Because my lune doesn't appear to jiggle like in the webm.

>>1249960 >which is hard to pin down. For me it nailed it in two simple details I noticed >One woman wearing flowers but sitting completely alone on a bench away from the crowds >Sophie is relatively chipper and upbeat during the festival and saying she's had 33 good years and prepared for this all her life, interacting with various friends, making up with Gustave, etc. But when the Paintress changes the number and she's disappearing, you can see she's crying. While the game is intentionally a melodrama and presents more overt bits of drama and theming too, I think these small details nail a non-idealized approach to grief and a known end of life, as well as piercing the coping strategy of turning the Gommage into a celebration of the people disappearing rather than a dour affair, which on some level everyone knows is a farce, but it's still necessary for those still here afterward.

we got Aerith'd too early. I wasn't ready.

There's a few bosses that are called 'chromatic' are you talking about the one with the lance, the one that looks like flying pink cotton candy or the one with the auto-kill trumpet?

>>1249675 is the frenchie cute and fuckable ingame?

>>1255477 >cute yes >fuckable life sure fucks her hard, fast and nonstop

>>1251201 France is a fictional country of submissives who worship bbc and are most famous for surrendering to invaders, no country in the real world would be that pathetic.

>when the party counters an AOE attack it says "Expedition 33 performs a counter" instead Very hype for some reason.

>>1252945 It's one of the few modern AA (?) games where you are given attractive female team members with likable personalities (one of them jokingly called a teenager), and the themes of the game have certain conservative messaging (people needing to reproduce for the sake of the country), however there's black people in the european fantasy starting area that you are going to leave before the first hour

>>1255348 nvm found out the place I was looking at is called ancient sanctuary and theres no chromatic bosses in there but looks like I missed one picto fextralife has actually useful information for once

>he plays his french game with the english dub I seriously hope you guys don't do this.

>>1249675 So far it's pretty great. If it had just like 2 or 3 more waifus it would be peak.

>>1255900 Yes, and?

>>1255900 I had to suffer through french for three whole years in school, I'm not listening to this puke incuding laguage any longer than I have to.

>>1255562 >surrender american propaganda for not joining the iraq war

How are some people finished the game so quickly

>>1254345 If you don't count the prologue the negro doesn't even make it to the gameplay. He's killed in the opening cutscene.

Just got to the point where Gustav dies, but I think he comes back because of the skills that are locked.

>>1255900 The French language is almost as awful as French people. No one in their right mind would listen to that trash.

>>1249675 >We're going to make a traditional, turn-based jRPG, with cool looking characters and environments Awesome. >Also we are adding QTEs and a parry system as core mechanics in combat God dammit.

Kind wish I had bought it on PC instead of PS5. I fucking hate having shit with tight parry windows mapped to the right bumper. It's awful, and it needs to fucking stop. Andnof course you can't remap shit on the PS5 version.

What went wrong? The last thread was pretty normal where did all the 4/v/ schizos come from?

>>1256906 No idea, at least thry will be going back.

>>1256303 This

This and Rebirth are the only new games I've reallt enjoyed in like 4 years. Rebirth I got with Remake+Intergrade included for $70 and this was $45. I guess the lesson here is that any game charging $70 for a single game is not worth it.

Should I kill Jar or should I keep him alive? I'm liking the game so far. The QTEs are not as annoying as I thought they'd be and they feel actually impactful.

>>1253287 Basically

>>1255084 Imagine if M$ hadn't fucked them with Oblivion. Hope they got a fat goypass check for that.

>>1255389 Its really apparent sometimes

>>1255448 The teumpet fuck isnt auto kill, just high damage, i remember fucking up parries and living a hit

>marathon alpha happens >everyone who played destiny 2 hates bungie with the fire of a thousand suns >for people who didn't play destiny 2 expedition 33 and oblivion remaster come out so no one notices or cares kek

>>1257751 >>everyone who played destiny 2 hates bungie with the fire of a thousand suns I played all of Destiny 1 and I played Destiny 2 until they decided to sunset everything. I feel so bad for anyone who is not familiar with Bungie, and especially those who are not familiar with post-Activision Bungie, who are somehow even worse than Activision. Those poor, poor souls.

You think it'll outsell Veilguard by Monday?

I will buy the game if it isnt pozzed since I recently finished Romancing SaGa 2 and saw the trailer for this game, the visuals look suprisingly nice, its kinda weird. Like sorta realistic but also stylistic and cool, dunno how to describe it, kinda gives me jrpg vibes.I have a few questions to any anons who are playing. 1.Does this game have hot women and men? I didn't like playing as a twink gay boy in Lies of P for example 2. Is this like left leaning frenchie propaganda? Am I going to be told by the Frenchie's that immigrants are good and diversity will save humanity? Old way bad, new way good, post modernism le good. 3. Ive only played traditional jrpgs, SaGa 2 was my favorite this year so far. How does the real time parries work? It seems odd to me to have reall time parries in a turn based game. 4. Is there any jiggle for the tiddies and is there any sexy skins to unlock? 5. I see people calling this game a jrpg (its western though not Japanese?) I'm confused why.

>>1258104 >1.Does this game have hot women and men? I didn't like playing as a twink gay boy in Lies of P for example The first 4 playable characters are one non-faggy males and 3 waifus, one of dubious legality. >2. Is this like left leaning frenchie propaganda? Am I going to be told by the Frenchie's that immigrants are good and diversity will save humanity? Old way bad, new way good, post modernism le good. No. Actually its the opposite: themes and atmosphere seem to be fairly anti-modernity. At last so far. >3. Ive only played traditional jrpgs, SaGa 2 was my favorite this year so far. How does the real time parries work? It seems odd to me to have reall time parries in a turn based game. Yeah the parries are kind of tough to get used to. Start out with dodging until you know the attack patterns. It absolutely keeps you engaged though, because on the tougher enemies you will wipe in like 2 or 3 hits if you fuck up your dodges/parry. >4. Is there any jiggle for the tiddies and is there any sexy skins to unlock? Not none but not as many as I'd like. We'll see what updates we get. >5. I see people calling this game a jrpg (its western though not Japanese?) I'm confused why. It's a jrpg but made by frogs because the Japanese mostly want to make DMC knockoffs now. Someone had to do it.

the difficulty is fucking bullshit normal is way to fucking easy and hard is completely unforgiveable where you can one shot by normal mobs which would be ok for me if you could reset fights in an instant but all the animations and walking is getting tedious for anyone who is past arc 1, does it get harder or should I ramp up the difficulty?

>>1258158 Wait so the French actually made kino for once, da fuck? Okay ill buy, thanks anon.

I wanna play the game now but I don't have the money to buy it and I don't wanna pirate it since when I do buy it I wont be able to move over my save

>>1258168 Act 3 gets hard. Just play on normal.

>>1258181 I haven't finished yet but so far, yeah, it's kino. And I say that as someone who fucking hates the French. The music is elite too.

>>1258214 >since when I do buy it I wont be able to move over my save what do you mean? It's so easy to move save files that there's a save file up on the Nexus. You just copy whatever save and rename it from EXPEDITION_[NUMBER].sav to EXPEDITION_0.sav

>>1258252 I've had trouble with some games in the past but I guess I'll try this time and see if it works out

>>1258181 Also the game tricks you into thinking you're going to have a negro party member during the prologue and then the very first thing they do after the prologue finishes is kill him. Unexpectedly based for frogs.

>>1258214 >since when I do buy it I wont be able to move over my save I have literally never had an issue with this

>>1252043 Everything about this screams Freemasonry. God of Death God of Life Eternal struggle between good and evil. The world is a projected image on a canvas and the people.

>>1258349 >>1258517 In very rare cases a game can be a bitch about the transfer/moving of saves. Expedition isn't one of them.

>>1258362 UM THIS IS NOT OK!!! all of this is a byproduct of cheeto hitler empowering spiteful loser incel chuds like yourselves. now excuse me while i go play the latest assassin's creed.

The amount of youtubers I'm seeing just casually playong spoilers in their game reviews is pretty nuts. Like I'm past a lot of these parts but these motherfuckers might actually be braindead.

Alright I'm still in the prologue but this is the first western rpg I've played in maybe a decade that looks visually pleasing and not gay as shit, well done.

>>1258815 I'm still mad about Sophie

>>1258878 They make it pretty clear from right when you meet her she's not sticking around.

>>1253854 In case you're not aware this is a shill thread by trannyfaggots To answer your question you simply need to know that the game was developed by someone who lives in a niggerfaggot-loving country

>>1258946 I know, don't care. Still mad my waifu is gone.

What did they mean by this?

>>1253854 The niggers are only in the prologue. The one nigger who goes with you is immediately killed. All the women in your party are attractive white women. Compared to much of what I've seen from France it's outright problematic in the eyes of leftyfags. Zero niggers at all would have been preferable but zero major nigger characters is a noticeable cultural shift what what we've been getting. Plus the women being conventionally attractive. I'd definitely consider it a shift in the right direction. It's worth a pirate, I'd say.

>>1258982 Nigga 70% of this games sales are from chinks, gooks and Nippon gods. The game is #1 selling on Amazon JP and half of the steam reviews are in moons runes. I see barely any troons hyping this game up because its "chud pilled" and the otaku like that.

>>1259024 tbf one of the girls is a hapa but japs are honorary aryan so it's okay.

>>1259027 Ignore (1) shitposters

>>1259027 where's the fucking fanart whenever chinks and japs like a game there's always fanart

>Ultimate Sakapatate Holy slog of a fight. felt like I was parrying his rockets for half an hour.

>>1259085 I fucking suck at parrying ranges attacks. Half the time I don't even notice them go off.

>>1259106 There probably should be a more obvious visual cue for parries. At the very least it should be an option.

>>1259002 That she's cute and funny.

Been playing for 4.5 hours now and I haven't even ONCE leveled up any attributes. Playing normal diffuculty, how fucked am I if I put all my points into Luck? I'm a sucker for stats that let give me increased crit chance and love being a sort of glass cannon build. Does anyone know if this is viable?

>"I assure you that having a barefoot hapa girl that floats around when she runs, putting her sole right in the view of the camera is absolutely essential for the gameplay!" Hope there's a barefoot costume for the redhead hebe too.

>>1259186 she gets even cuter near the end

>>1259106 >>1259124 Use audio cues

>>1259176 If you're good at dodging, and especially parrying, then yeah, do it and go full glass cannon. Can't die if you mever take damage, right? High crit builds are totally viable if you're nailing your defensives. I would reccomend doing crit + agility though because if your agility is high enough you can get multiple turns at the start of fights, with each character, and just ass blast the enemies before they ever even get to attack.

>>1259002 It was the witch’s plan all along. She’s playing the long game, eventually hoping for a teen harem

You did get the baguette sword, didn't you?

>>1259576 You couldn't post one of the qts? What kind of faggot are you?

Okay, out of the wage cage. Time to repeatedly fuck up some parries.

>>1259654 Gustave is cute

Man who the fuck is this games composer, this is straight kino injected into my veins.

>>1259811 Some literally who rando the devs found on some internet forum. No, I'm not joking.

>>1259832 This studio is kinda breaking my brain, I literally vowed like 2 years ago to never buy western games again >western dev >FUCKING FRENCH >ex ubisoft devs >Literal who composers >first fucking game >makes kamige ?????

>>1259859 The entire dev team was like 30 people. It's almost like this dude made it to be a singular fuck you to both Ubishit and Squeenix.

>>1259811 watch this https://youtu.be/urizETxs3_8 guy dumped his entire soul into the music

I'm a little past the reunion with a certain redhead. The game is really good so far. Shame about UE5 and DLSS fuckery messing up the visuals but its still a treat. Love Lune.

>got back home for more kino Cant stop thinking about this games vibes Its like a mix between that annihilation film and NieR along with french aesthetics

>>1260008 Stay away from barefoor my hapa wife anon. You can have a 16 year old redhead as compensation.

>>1260108 Same, need to finish it and do exploring for all the journals. The game is gruesome and yet lighthearted at times.

>>1260190 No way. >>1260108 Big NieR feels for sure. Desolate world with typical RPG stuff and tropes, all while a gorgeous soundtrack plays.

>>1260309 >he game is gruesome and yet lighthearted at times. A lot of the great jrpgs from back in the day were. Now it seems they all need to be all serious all the time or for literal children >>1260416 I already married Lune. Too bad.

>>1259859 Maybe the problem is publishers more so than western devs

pumped my wiener for Lune. no visual aid just thoughts. I got it bad.

>>1260447 >A lot of the great jrpgs from back in the day were yeah this game makes it feel like the whole previous generation or even two generations of games never happened. it's like we skipped straight from the FF7 through FF10 era and now we have this. and that's a VERY good thing.

look at how flat she is. God that's hot!

>>1260754 I actually like XIV because it has some of that goofiness and doesn't take itself super serious all the time, even when there are really high stakes but yeah, with it being an mmo it really isn't the same thing. XIII, XV, and XVI have been a travesty. Rebirth was good but I can't give them much credit for something where 95% of the work was done 30 years ago.

>>1260508 Nah i'm not giving those big corpos benefit of doubt,fuck all of them >>1259859 Maybe devs are mostly actual weeabos,maybe some might even be here...

>>1260898 >because it has some of that goofiness and doesn't take itself super serious all the time Unironically this was the best thing about Strangers in Paradise

>>1261062 Yeah SoP is great but it's a spinoff so I didn't want to count it, Squeenix didn't even make it. World of Final Fantasy was pretty good too.

>finally see the entire map >half of it is mountains Not that far of a journey after all.

Who's everyone using as their player character when walking around? For me it's the feet hapa.

this dude is absolutely killin it with the main theme on them strings

>>1261414 Feet hapa unironically feels like the fastest and most mobile party member, so yeah her.

>>1261414 feet hapa cause eye candy and what >>1261427 said, I've checked and am 99.9% sure her sprint is no different from the others, it's just the glide animation, but still. It's the coolest and feels the nicest and quickest even if it's placebo, so Lune is defacto player character for me as well.

>>1261414 >Gustav >then Verso >then Maelle

>>1261414 she's not only my walking char but my most decked out char overall

>>1261558 Yeah she's my main damage dealer by a lot. I use her and Maelle to stack burn then I have Gustave mark something and have her use her thunder attack that does like 5 hits. Maelle is good when in virtuoso too.

>>1261414 I hate Lune's floating so Maelle or GV.

>>1261872 It's VITAL that Lune show's her feet off, though. It's critical to the plot.

>>1261872 Why do you hate nice views anon?

Which of the girls should I take into battle? Having a hard time deciding.

>>1261914 >not having an all girl party The solution is right there in front of you

>>1261914 the ones that make your wiener wiggle the hardest, same as it ever was

>>1261938 lol also this

>>1261938 >>1261943 Literally me has to be in the party

>clair obscure has exceeded AC shadows concurrent player count lmao

so how was the game

>>1261997 Haven't finished but it's great so far. I want to go for 100% but I'm so shit at parrying I'm not sure that's a realistic goal.

>>1261966 literally me just lays low and keeps the pimp hand strong >>1261988 great fucking song

>>1261997 It would be good if parrying wasn't mandatory.

>>1262008 Best Maelle hairstyle

>>1262009 It's not mandatory. I've mostly been dodging and have been getting through most fights fine.

>>1262029 Then you are lucky, you have a superhuman reaction.

>>1262043 I'm not dodging everything, but enough to clear the fights. I still get hit quite a bit. Do you have anything in defense or vitality?

>>1262043 Dodging is way more forgiving that parrying.

>>1262009 >>1262029 >>1262043 I'm better at the parries and dodges than other people I've seen play the game, but it's absolutely necessary for me to play it with Framegen on and I legitimately feel like there's input lag afoot that puts me at a disadvantage at times.

aw yes, the collection is complete >>1262043 yeah this >>1262084 when you first start fighting an enemy always do dodges before trying to parry, there's a huge window for dodges

>>1262169 >>1262084 >>1262086 I didn't notice any difference between parrying and dodging, they differ in the character animation and that's all.

>>1262204 You are immune to damage probably a full second for dodging at least. Parrying is probably half a second. Dodging is a safer choice. Otherwise there would be no reason for it to exist.

>>1262390 Just wait until you get to the minions of the other Axon, enemies being able to dodgespam sucks

>check out cuckchan >Schizo spamming SHILL and constantly bringing FF numbers The absolute state of that place. God bless IDs

Tanky gustave is amazing on expert, managed to just solo the fire/freeze sword nevron on my first try after my two other team members died from whiffing my parries. I thought not putting any points into might would be bad but his damage is still pretty high on maximum overcharge.

If this game takes like 60 hours to complete everything, it'll probably take me around 80 since I'm slow and playing on expert difficulty.

>>1262551 also you get this cute costume after beating them

>>1262438 At first I thought this would be annoying, but actually this is a super cool grinding location.

wow just hit Act 2 I saw it coming but it was still huge and some significant semi-reveals Verso is way cooler than Gustave and is literally me

>>1263069 You will soon see that Verso is just a dorky old man and that Gustave was cooler.

>>1263100 damn.... so he really is literally me...

>final act is WoR with more content The final boss better be jacked the fuck up after I finish all this side content or it'll be very disappointing

Got a 1650, how cooked am I? I don't care about shadows

gotta sleep to play more tomorrow >>1263634 you’re fine. I upgraded from 1650 to rtx 3050 like just days ago and yeah it’s a huge diffference and I recommend you do the same but you’re fine. can set stuff to medium/low and limit the frames to 30

>>1262512 I didn't even know cuckchan was back. That was sooner than expected...suspiciously so.

>>1262512 >>1263727 I just went over there to see and holy fuck it's even worse than it was before. I wish you hadn't mentioned it was back anon, I was happier not knowing.

>>1263777 it's impressive the effect ID has on people

>>1263670 maybe I'll bite the bullet and buy the one you mentioned, there isn't a lot of games that tempt me recently

>>1263777 Yeah well they'll never put that on cuckchan. Harder to manufacturer consensus when everyone can see your samefagging and spamming.

>>1262008 >literally me just lays low and keeps the pimp hand strong They are my whores i'm beating shit up with them

What is Clair Obscur?

>>1264001 it's a french oxymor: clair (bright/clear) obscur (darkness)

>>1264022 Damn French tricking me.

>>1264022 It's also a style of painting. Stuff with contrasts beween very dark shadows and very bright (usually) subjects. Take a look at most Caravaggio paintings: it's that.

Just a decent (but far from great) game that's being exalted like it's a masterpiece just because the devs have good intentions. It's that all you need and want, gamer? That's the whole extent of your ambitions? To praise quirky chungus devs to heavens in order to be in the right side of history and empathy?

>>1264102 The fuck is this nonsense word salad? Fuck off back to cuckchan, it's back.

>>1264102 I only just started act 2 but I absolutely think it's a great game.

I've got the new guy in my party and he seems really strong with his DMC style meter. Out of all the characters Maelle seems the weakest. Or is it just me?

>>1264047 >It was a hint for what was really going on all along Damn. >>1264102 >me play game >game look pretty >game sound pretty >me have fun >"AIEEEEEEEEEE NONONONO WHAT IS THIS WHY THE FUCK AREN'T YOU INVESTING IN QUADRUPLE-A GAMING OR THE LAST OF US 2 OR A GACHA OR LIVE SERVICE?!" Uh, yes? I play games to have fun bro.

>>1264253 I take it you like to unga bunga things? Maelle kind of geared to go first, slap an elemental weakness on somebody, and then do big damage with a counter. If you don't like countering or agility, you probably miss Maelle's greatest strengths.

>>1264351 I'm kind of the opposite, I used to love RTS games but after being starved of the genre my reactions have gone through the roof and I need the adrenaline rush of getting the timing right to live.

>>1264253 Her Percee skill will fuck shit up. It's single target but strong.

I don't know about you anons, but this baguette game screams Sweet Baby Inc. adjacent to me.

>>1264439 Sweet Baby Inc would never allow a white man to be this right about everything.

>>1264439 it's because people dare having fun on a game? Which twitter account gave you this opinion

>>1264439 Not at all, I don't know how you see that.

I have questions for anon's that played this. >How prominent is the cute redhead? >How would it run at 1440p native on a 3070? >How bad are the UE5 graphical artifacts? (screenshots give me the impression it's pretty bad) >How much fast camera movement is in typical gameplay? (since UE5 is terrible with that) >Is the gameplay classic style turnbased or modern mobile game tier braindead style turnbased? <Are the devs worthy of support or should I wait and pirate it?

>>1264439 The game is people sacrificing everything for their children/future generations and those who take a selfish view of "fuck it, just be happy" are shamed. They also kill off all the niggers in the first 10 minutes and have a party of a capable, intelligent, white man and three attractive waifus, one of questionable legality. This game is anti modernity and about as far from sweet baby adjacent as it's possible to be in current year. No wonder they were only able to secure a literally who publisher.

>>1264572 >How prominent is the cute redhead? Extremely >How would it run at 1440p native on a 3070? No idea. I bought it on PS5 because I was worried about performace, which was a mistake as it turns out because everyone says the Steam version runs great. >How bad are the UE5 graphical artifacts? (screenshots give me the impression it's pretty bad) See above >How much fast camera movement is in typical gameplay? (since UE5 is terrible with that) Not a lot of fast camera movement >Is the gameplay classic style turnbased or modern mobile game tier braindead style turnbased? Neither. It's Lost Odyssey cranked up to 11 with Sekiro parries and dodging. Definitely nothing like mobiletrash.

Wait, this game has an overworld!? >>1264572 I'm at 55-60fps on Medium and XeSS Quality (58%) scaling on my laptop 6700M. A 3070 should be way better than that.

>>1264572 Forgot to answer this one ><Are the devs worthy of support or should I wait and pirate it? Best $45 I've spent in awhile. I'm a firm believer in pic related 99.9% of the time and I am extremely happy I made an exception in this case.

>>1264635 >Wait, this game has an overworld!? Yes and anon, I can't stree this enough: make sure you are fighting the overworld mobs. That is the best way to get new weapons and weapon upgrades. The game doesn't tell you this but overworld mobs seem to drop weapons at least 50% of the time.

>>1264253 >>1264331 I haven't used Verso much, I just made him a buff character to enable Maelle and Sciel if needed. I kind of figured he is probably OP at S rank but ass before that. I think Lune might be the weakest but she is still great. My Maelle has an assload of crit and uses the weapon that applies burn on crit so the target is always burning, giving her even more crit and ensuring that she can constantly get right back into Virtuoso stance. Her counterattacks do max damage as well. I haven't had a chance to use Sword Ballet yet because everything dies so fast but I'm guessing it should be insanely good. >>1264572 >How prominent is the cute redhead? Extremely. The game makes you wait a little bit before you get her in your party but it's worth it.

>>1264650 Right now I'm fighting everything I see. I really like the combat.

>>1264677 A lot of the overworld mobs are guarding loot/pictos too so make sure to look around the area after you kill them before moving on. They respwan after you camp too so you can grind them.

>>1264655 Verso does more damage per rank and you can give give him the weapon that allows him to do a base attack then attack again and then a skill attack, and if you give him combo hit or whatever its called you are doing a minimum of 4 hits a turn which drives up your Perfection meter fast. I think hes more DPS than a buffer.

Just played this game, it gave me a strong Legend of Dragoon vibe

>>1264738 I'm been thinking of it like reverse Lost Odyssey. Instead of being unable to die they're unable to live.

I'm just glad a game like this can still find success Losing the industry of one-offs "weird"-ish games like Eternal Sonata, Oz, Radiata Stories and what not has been very saddening so it's nice to see it's not completely dead either

>>1264798 >eternal sonata mentioned Oh fuck now I want to replay that when I finish this. Can't remember if it's backwards compatible on Xbone or if I need to grab my 360 out of the closet.

lol I guess this is for later in the game unless I'm a freak.

>>1264820 The push for the japanese market by Microsoft was a complete blunder but I can't help but appreciate it nonetheless if only for variety : ES, but also Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant, various Tri-Ace stuff etc. shame this can't realistically happen again but I hope E33 encourages other projects of that scale at the very least

>>1264851 Yeah I bought all of them. I got Enchanted Arms and the entire FFXIII trilogy on 360 too. Vesperia being a 360 exclusive for awhile was amusing too.

>>1264840 A couple of the chromatics I had to fight like 5 or 6 times until I could just dodge everything. I didn't even bother to time out the parries on those.

>eternal sonata is not backwards compatible on xbox one Boo, you niggers.

Could someone be so kind to post 4K screenshots? Possibly with No AA, DLAA, and DLSS Q (or other upscalers). I'm worried about the game being a blurry mess like Oblivion before making a purchase.

>>1265038 Bought it on PS5 because I'm retarded so I can't assist you. Learn from my mistake.

>>1252945 Yes. Thankfully most of the DEI squad dies after the prologue.

>Renoir makes screen go grey >miss gradient every single time Not sure if I'm just bad at timing or what with that particular attack because I usually get these but with the first and second battle, I never got it. Paintress has one too that I couldn't gradient. I wonder if you guys managed to do it. I just eat the damage.

>>1265038 I'm installing it right now I can try and get do that for you when I'm done but you'll have to settle for a 1080p screenshot

does Lune feel underpowered compared to the rest of the gang to anyone else?

If anyone has trouble fighting the chromatic hexga being fucking invincible you basically need to spam as many shots on his left crystal when it says strange power emanates from it. I had to google to find out the mechanics since the game doesnt tell you anything from hitting it once, once you shoot more than 3 times it actually says its weakening. >>1264253 Her damage seems to fall off compared to the new guy which can get good crit and damage at low health, which you can easily get to with a powerful mark attack that uses up health. The piercing skill is good but since its capped at 9999 it depends on how lucky you are with shooting+ 20% mark to get max damage out of it. I just unlocked sword ballet but it takes 9 ap to use, I might reset the skill tree for the fire skills instead since I dont want to turn the new guy into an AP vending machine.

>>1265380 I've been pumping Might on her and spamming the slow-all ice move and the burn-all fire move. Seems to be better at utility and multi-target damage than the other party members.

>>1265380 >heals forever >revives forever Good enough for me. I didn't build her for damage.

>>1265380 She's my utility party member, applying burn for Maelle and healing everyone if needed while the rest does damage.

4cuck threads about this game is awful holy shit, that place is really ruined by bots and poos

>>1265380 In my game I just run her to build up stains to power up her rock skills that does insane break damage. Also run some heals on her now that I got some nice pictos that gives +ap and shared healing on heals. Im also trying out her revive with another party member using death bomb + death on turn start + 3 ap for everyone on reviving the dead guy. The kamikaze damage is OK but not enough to one shot current encounters, I think ill just remove it since having to spam revive every encounter is annoying.

>>1265419 endless mutt and brownoid seething it's unbearable

>>1265419 I feel like Dead Internet Theory applies to that place knowing what the jannies were like.

What's the relationship stat do?

>>1265489 >>1265500 I could swear they just love to hide behind ff (sometimes Kiseki) and reply to themselves kek. That place is just the same 3 schizos samefagging.

>>1265516 gives you a sex scene

>>1265519 What? Really? Seems out of place in this game.

>>1265500 >>1265518 It would be funny to see what it looks like if IDs were suddenly on

>>1265526 it's a fade to black

>>1265519 Do you bang anyone other than Sciel? Is she just easy?

>>1265535 Just the same schizo avatar fagging as ff fag and replying to himself Of course he won't do this shit in Xenoblade x threads, obviously

It's been so long since I've bought a modern game that I completely forgot how outdated my computer is. I even had to look up what parts I had. Think I can barely run this on low settings.

how do you reach this place? ive been running around the map for the third time, trying to find a passage there. am i missing something obvious?

>>1265593 Are you the guy shitting up the thread accusing random people of being tendies and getting triggered by glasses?

>>1264840 It's possible if you dodge everything, I got it to half hp before dying because of sloppiness. Fuck trying to parry him

>>1265642 I think you have to break the blue rock to get there, which you get the ability to after collecting 4 lil nigs in the overworld and talking to the gestral at camp. Im not sure if you can get all 4 early as I still only have 3 in act 2 after exploring the nearby areas.

>>1265656 Keeek

>>1265688 Thank you. It drove me crazy, ive been her for half an hour after i beat the last boss, thinking im retarded for missing the secret passage. I only found one of those missing children.

>>1265380 I think she's fine, she does a ton of damage with elemental genesis.

Deck runs this like shit sadly

>>1265648 Hell no, I'm glad expedition and stellar blade can actually have good threads here

i love this final fantasy frenchsona hybrid

>>1265962 Me too. Hope FF17 is turn based again even though I liked rebirth combat but I would recycle that system for a new ip

September 28th. Daylight. The monsters have overtaken the city. Somehow... I'm still alive.

>>1265984 yeah, action combat sucks, mostly because ally ai is so retarded, and it's a pain micromanaging them and keeping them healthy. the combat mechanics in this game and like a dragon are way better.

>>1266047 She has some great hairstyles, but I can't stay off her original.

>23 hours in <8th or 9th crash yippeeee

>>1266136 I have had 0 (zero) crashes. I'm actually impressed. I can't recall any lag either.

>>1266160 AMD?

>>1266184 Nvidia.

>>1266136 >>1266160 I haven't crashed either, and I'm on Linux w/ AMD.

I would be so fucking good at this game if I didn't suck at all the mechanics.

>>1265038 >>1265349 You can't turn off the upscalers but you can use them as anti aliasing. I ended up using dlss instead xess since xess still had a bit of artifiacting but the game looks pretty good without any of post processing effects. I was also getting 60 on high but it wasn't stable so I changed most of the settings to medium

>>1249675 It looks so fucking generic, one of the most boring looking games I've ever seen. I hate the way the world and characters look, there's no personality to anything. Also why are their heads so big? Why are their bodies weirdly shaped? Everyone looks like a child.

>>1266734 I don't know how you can call it a generic game, it very clearly is not. Point to one similar game in the last 5 years .

>>1266048 Personally I used mods for the AI >Yakuza Sequel improved it sure but I still prefer beat em up Yakuza

This game is so cool.

>>1266136 update your drivers ya doofus

>gestral village has a triple triad reference Holy sovl

>>1266629 Gamma at 1 looks like absolute ass on PS5. First thing I did after turning off motion blur and film grain was turn that down.

I love hapa feet so much it'a unreal.

must be the devs, love these kinda Easter Eggs

>>1266857 for me, it's the way she curls her toes as she floats

holy FUCK the volleyball game is hard

>>1267022 the reward is worth it

>>1266857 >>1266931 I wonder if the bloodied effect on them as they take damage is something overlayed on top or if it's an actual model change. If it's the latter you could conceivably make it a clothing damage system instead, though admittedly unreal 5 sucks to mod so there's a good chance it would impossible anyway.

>>1251820 >>EU5 garbage looking game < >>1266887 Where's the masses and masses of outsourced indian slave labor?

>>1267071 holy FUCK it was so worth it

>>1267147 That's one nice mons pubis.

I'm gonna start the game very soon on highest difficulty

>>1267176 and her fat little ass wiggles so good god damn best 20 minutes of raging I've ever spent

>>1267212 built for big Verso cock

>>1267249 literally me can't wait to get him a cool outfit so he looks the part

can you not parry the enemy mimes attacks or are the parry windows for them just very tight?

>>1267176 Maelle just gets cuter and cuter as the game goes on If you know, you know

>>1267200 (Me) Checked

>>1267329 I just fought one and was unable to parry. I'm unable to parry most everything though so take from that what you will.

Kek they added the Shrek outhouse

>>1267278 >>1267212 Ok gonna buy this game now then

>>1267545 Short hair Maelle best hair Maelle

The red lipstick that the baguette hat puts on Sciel makes her looks like she sucks a fantastic cock.

>>1267545 >>1267600 Her body is peak hebe.

Just finished the story and this is definitely winning best narrative. I still feel like a horrible person after the ending

>>1267704 http://steamcommunity.com/app/1903340/negativereviews/?filterLanguage=all Judging by the reviews, japs did not like the plot.

>>1254302 Half of Steam generally is probably Chinese. I think they came over to play PUBG. Don't remember the exact game that got them but it was one of them that was super popular that flooded the platform. This happened years and years ago now.

>>1267727 Most of those reviews are chinese according to my translator but man they either really hated the plot or QTEs. I wonder if it's just a cultural difference in the type of stories they like

>>1267818 >story says accepting reality for the best >if the Chinks did that they'd have to come to terms with the fact they live in China makes sense

which dub is good on the game? cause didn't the lip sync CLEARLY meant for french? and the eng va work is balder's gate tier

>>1267566 SNNIIIIIIFFFFF

>>1266887 >white game devs >in Montpellier france MEDITERRANEANS REALLY ARE WHITE

The whole rock throwing things that Gustave and Maelle do makes a lot more sense if you've even seen a yuro, even the men, try to throw something. They never played baseball or football growing up, only divegrass, so 99% of them honest to God throw like 4 year old girls. My wife is European and even her brother it's a genuine embarassment to behold. Also Maelle a cute

>>1267853 English voice acting. It's a jrpg, you should be used to the voices not having good lip syncing. Also Maelle's english voice actress is Shadowheart so yeah, it's going to sound like BG3.

Holy shit I just did 49k damage on a targeted weak point shot, at level 12. Fuck, I wasn't recording, I wasn't expecting that.

>>1267975 Ah, this will count. End score screen.

>>1267975 Weird. What pictos did you have equipped? Do you have roulette yet?

>>1268087 >What pictos did you have equipped? Pic related. Enemy was marked and was just broken, but no longer stunned. >Do you have roulette yet? No idea what that is.

>>1268143 God I love Lune so much. I didn't find her all that attractive at first but she grew on me

this is some Mulholland Drive shit. it's getting hot and heavy real quick like.

>>1268143 >No idea what that is A picto that rolls whenever you do an action and either does 50% damage or 200% damage. You get it from the casino in the village.

>>1268248 too late, she's already been VERSO'd.

Someone posted a spoiler a few days ago because xhe got spoiled, so now that fag is going to wind up getting NTR'd. By me or by someone else. Sad but inevitable.

I think this is legitimately the best game soundtrack I've ever heard. So many of the GOAT soundtracks are carried hard by one or two tracks but damn near all of them in this game are fantastic, I'm actually going to buy it and I never do that.

So do you guys think there's anything to (ending spoilers) Gustave specifically being not biologically related to Maelle in Alicia's fanfiction? Like why would she do that if she just wanted an onii-chan and not...more?

>>1268511 This guy had a banger fight theme

>>1268511 I can think of a few OST I've liked better so far but I can say it's elite and definitely the best I've ever heard by some random dude who was hired off of an internet forum.

>>1268699 I killed him so fast I barely remember it. He's a glass cannon.

>>1268607 My guy, the entire game exists because Alicia would rather abandon her entire life to be a yandere demiurge in a desperate bid to make the representation of Verso smile than let go of oniichan’s last soul piece. They do not need to spell out the incest because it is the driving force behind the entire conflict.

>>1268827 I get the feeling a lot of people won't confront it though, even though the fact she literally went out of her way to go step bro with him makes it extremely obvious.

>>1268396 literally me, getting freaky by the campfire >>1268699 I love that guy because he casted "The Strongest Ice Spell Ever" absolute fucking unit

>>1268897 >casts The Strongest Ice Spell Ever >It actually is the strongest ice spell ever What a lad, I want him as my roommate

>>1249675 I haven't been this happy about a game for a long time. Some very minor gameplay niggles.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U51JCqUUrLE >the secret boss YOU VILL PARRY EVERYTHING UND YOU VILL BE HAPPY

We really need weapon transmog in this game lads

>Monoco fight GOD tier jazz music

Just finished act 1. I hope Gustave and Sophie can now be together.

>>1269254 >jazz Gestrl casino owner guy would be proud

>>1269247 I wish I could have Maelle fight with the baguette.

>>1269602 Lol you're right, his wish is slowly coming true really hope he actually does open his place in the endgame or something

>>1269613 So do I. Classiest motherfucker in the game.

>>1268143 If you'e got Wildfire replace Immolation with that.

>>1268511 >>1268733 Might be up there with Nier 1, Mario Galaxy, Symphony of the Night, FF VI/VII, and Xenoblade 1.

>98,951 peak concurrent players It might legit break 100k tomorrow.

>>1269836 Yes! It passed Failguard's peak. That was my big hope.

I didn't read the thread yet but is the consensus "pretty good"? If so ill probably pick this up next week.

>>1269844 I had to look it up because I couldn't believe anywhere near 100k people would buy and play DA:V at the same time and I'm genuinely amazed there are that many retards on steam. 90k concurrent players is like 4 times more than I would have expected. But yes, it beat failguard.

>>1269867 "Pretty good" with a side order of "I hate reflex checks in MUH strategy game" yeah. I think I'm the only one putting much thought in the plot and linearity of the gameworld because everyone else is just happy the incest is subtle, but unironically the defining force of the entire plot.

>>1269867 Not pretty good, it's fucking great. Legit GOTY frontrunner.

>>1269882 Just to be clear I don't mind the reflex checks myself and was just repeating something quite a few other anons said, but in music and art direction at least yeah no other game comes close.

>>1269886 I suck at the parrying and I'm still getting through the game just fine on normal. If I can get good enough eventually to where I can consistently hit the parries this is going to be one of my favorite combat systems in a jrpg.

>>1269613 >>1269602 hell yeah

I'm on expert, and I pumped nearly everything into Agility that I take multiple turns in a row. I should probably start putting stats into something else...maybe defense? But for right now, I need to force myself to stop and eat something. And I thought Sciel was fucking dead by the tree just before Lune found Gustave.

>>1269979 there seems to be some nice tummy shots in this game

>>1269871 It had that for one day and it fell VERY rapidly as people realized it was shit. Dragon Age was a huge IP for years, anon.

>>1269897 I legitimately thought people who can't parry would be gatekept by the later half of the game even on normal because of healthbar bloat, but it sounds like you've found a way to make Def and Vitality work even though in my experience you WANT to parry if you can just because of how much easier it makes carving through bosses. But yeah, once you learn to parry you're feel like a god.

I'm assuming there's some people rushing the game who also made it to Act 3, what do you need to do to make damage stop capping at 9,999? There was a popup right at the start but I thought it was automatic and I can't beat any of the new enemies.

>>1269979 >maybe defense Probably want a little at least, but my advice is Luck for most party members. Lune is the one who benefits most from Vitality and Defense just because unlike the rest she isn't spec'd into hardcore counters. >>1270013 You unlock it automatically in Act 3, when a certain character gets new powers

>>1270018 I thought it said that I unlocked it, but I'm still hitting the cap. Do I need to progress the story further? I kind of wanted to do more side content.

this is so true, as discussed in depth in that one Mads Mikkelsen movie where the whole movie was about this concept, great movie >>1269948 holy shit it's beautiful, can't wait

>>1269979 nah Agility is great man, speed is always the God stat in turn based games. my Sciel uses her default weapon and it's all pumped into Agility + Luck and she does BUKU damage I also thought that was Sciel dead on the ground in the pile so seeing her for the first time was great cause I fell for her in the prologue lol

>>1270061 nvm I'm an idiot it's a Pictos

I may be too retarded for these paint prisons. Also people were having trouble with the parry system but I think they should just dodge more the game even suggests it. I started have a much better time surviving by dodging attacks instead of trying to time the very narrow parry window on every attack.

>>1270357 Dodging is to teach you what their moves look like so you can figure out when to parry.

>>1270357 Also also how do I get my fellow cunny chad his mine balloon?

>>1270363 platforming puzzle in the same area, you can jump between those flat coral things

I'm glad that the enemy levels are obscur'd, it's fun to run into an enemy that you probably shouldn't be fighting yet and parrygod it to death.

>>1252507 if I'm playing a turn based game then I want it to be completely turn based, no twitch qte bullshit grafted onto it. When I want to test my reflexes or response time I'll go play an action rpg instead.
