Multi Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

[Quagmire]

I had only heard of this game a couple weeks ago, I don't follow gaming news that closely and I just kind of skimmed the headlines, so I'm sure it did get some press over time just it wasn't a title that grabbed my eyes, but holy fucks this sounds amazing baseball for the reviews and unlike see if Stars which was more of a homage, this sounds like it does some things really interesting in both the combat and more importantly for me in terms of RPG the story

Who is planning on getting this?

Part of me wants to grab this before I get avowed or kcd 2

Looks really cool! If I had a PS5 I'd probably get it!

I have it, I've put a few hours in and it's very well done so far. Incredible even since it was a 30 person Dev team. It's beautiful, the turn based battles are fun enough. There are QTEs for most attacks to buff them and you can even dodge/parry most attacks. I'm not good at that part yet, some of the timing feels janky but it might be a skill issue.

Very sad and bleak intro but they did a great job not making it super depressing. Curious to see how the rest of the game goes. I've heard it's a lot of hallways like FF13 but not as bad.

It's very French, seeing as the devs are French. A different vibe for sure. It feels like a JRPG but looks like something else that I can't quite describe.
