Have you played it already? If not then you should give it at least 1 playthrough. I'm going to start my second playthrough during the Christmas holidays with family I haven't seen for a while and my enjoyment will be seeing their reactions while I'm playing the game, it'll be like a fresh playthrough in some regards. It is worth it Anon.
Truly, I didn't understand the hype around it when I first played but once I got around 2-3 hours in I was completely hooked.

What RPGs have you already played? E33 definitely gets points for visuals, story and music, but the combat has nearly zero strategy and the leveling feels streamlined. It's still fun but you're not gonna be blown away if you're familiar with this genre's conventions.

it means you would rather prioritize being a part of the shared space of the gaming community even though you might not be as much of a fan of the games themselves. and that's ok. people like to belong in communities, it is pretty much human nature. and even though you may not play games as much, i hope at least being a part of this community brings you some joy! thanks for being a part of it!

so your argument for shitting on the game is

The game is retarded.
>Drops its main premise
The writers couldn't be arsed to reverse-engineer a thematic upshot for their goofy demon lady in sky gimmick, so they just plopped in the ending to Infinity War (kinda).
>Fake dilemma
The game's central dilemma - which ending you choose - is predicated on the story having no answer for whether painted people are sentient. It's not a real dilemma. It's intentionally vague, not because there's merit in its vagueness, but because it doesn't want to commit to anything.
>tHe wRiTeRs
And worst of all, it's foisted all of its answers onto a sequel.
Shitty game 9/10.

the gaming community is a large and varied space, and there are so many different kinds of games to play and enjoy. sometimes a game comes around, and even though it is praised as "one of the best games ever", it might not be a fit for you. and that is ok! video games are awesome because of how we can enjoy so many different things and still have the opportunity to share our thoughts and joys with each other in this collective community.

There's just no reason to play this game unless you really need a jrpg with parrying, and you're willing to overlook awful visuals and a derivative melodramatic story.
If their main inspirations were FFX and Dragoon, I don't see how any of the appeal of those games carries over to this one. Those were soulful fantasy worlds with pre-rendered graphics, E33 is the complete opposite in that respect, and the world is just shit.

Answer the question.
>>
I’m trying out E33 due to the relentless shilling, but the image quality during cutscenes is disgusting. How do I fix it? I’ve never played something where the cut scenes look worse. Also, I find the dialogue and sound design or lack thereof very aggravating. It definitely has that cheapo JRPG feel, but with unreal graphics for better or worse.

Not wanting to try it yourself and then making a thread about it makes you a faggot. If you'd have played it and came to the conclusion that it was a subpar game liked by people only pretending to be white JRPG fans, then you'd have been based.

Same. Last time I played "LE GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME" in The Witcher 3 I went away feeling the game was just fine and not worth the amount of glazing it was getting.

>>
>>725975613
I love the game and its vibe, but I do think the “apocalyptic, dying world” setting is overplayed in media in general these days.

I think what elevates E33 is that’s its not a cynical game and is in fact quite humanistic and emotionally earnest.

Just because something is considered great does not mean you have to like it, or even if its good. Lots of great men were not good men. As someone who has been in the hobby from the strart (I had a Pong console at release), the title over the years I have heard most associated with the title "greatest game of all time" is FF7, and there a lot of reasons for that, some that go beyond the game itself. But while lots of people love that game, lots of people do not care at all for it and will never play it.

>>
In all seriousness, how many of you actually think E33 will be remembered as an all time great?

Personally, I think it will. It reminds me of Ocarina of Time in the sense that even if it’s not a personal favourite, there’s not that much that’s objectively wrong with it. The worst I can say about it is that there’s not much replay value and that the balancing is a bit scuffed (particularly in Act 3).

I think people bring up X because the basic premise of “group goes on a suicide mission to kill a god alongside a protagonist who doesn’t really exist” is also the rough plot synopsis of X.

It’s a retarded comparison though. The truth is that it takes inspiration from multiple FFs, but especially VIII, with its more gothic schizo tone.

IMO, people overhype Simon as a superboss. He has so many counters for various strategies that the only way to beat him is to parry every one of his attacks.

It kind of sucks when you make your superboss so powerful that there’s only one real way to beat them. The Clea fight gives you more options.

I gave it 2 tries, first was on release and drop it after act 1, second time was in October and drop it halfway to act 3, it has amazing things like the 2 axion boss fights, but my god it has too many shit to deal with, the map and menus are ass, the combat during act 3 becomes very annoying and tiring(having to parry an enemy 12 times for a counter is NOT fun), the cast have 0 a peel or grow except from verso and maelle, it a 6/10 for me, but even them I understand that is going to win the goty because the people have with this game the same feeling I have with FF9 when I was 8, shame I couldn’t enjoy it.

I do personally think it’s weird how more people don’t talk about how unintuitive the menus are. The Lumina menu in particular is buried deeper in the menus than it should be, which is weird because equipping Luminas is such an essential part of character growth in the game.

>>725974237
It's a competently done game, that's what's frustrating about it. There arent any glaring faults with it, but it's just so uninspired.

It's what you get if you take every mediocre, purely middle of the class, art, design and writing student and put them in one room and ask them to make a game. It just feels very art by comitee. There isnt a shining, strong vision, it's just everything good enough from everything else put into a single game.

And the story. It seems written with the intention of pulling as many heartstrings at once. Not because theres a good idea that the writers want to explore, but the entire story is written to be as gutwrenchingly sad as possible. Instead of trauma porn, it's griefporn.

And I dont think the creators were that cynical. I think they all genuinly thought they made a great game and maybe they did and I'm just this fucking jaded. But to me, I just roll my eyes at everything this game presents, from the story, art style, gameplay, sound design, even music.

>>725985801
There are some parts of the game that are well above average. The soundtrack and writing in particular. Of course, I love dramatic stories, so a story like E33’s is right up my alley.

I won’t pretend the game is perfect. There are problems like it relying too much on parrying, a lot of the areas being muddy rock areas with little visual variety, and the fact that the game becomes joke-tier easy once the damage cap gets removed, but even so, it’s a very high quality game. An 8/10 at least.

yeah but the dodge/parry mechanic keeps it from being real turn-based background game that you don't have to pay attention too much, like in persona I can just swig a drink or smoke a cig without pausing the game and maybe think of my next move in meantime but here I have to pay attention to real time events in turn based combat because parry is OP as fuck

I did dislike how the affinities and romances had no effect on the story or dialogue aside from Sciel and Lune refusing to sleep with you if you’ve slept with the other. It’s the exact same problem Persona has.

I do think the party is better than any of the Persona games though. There’s only 5 party members (6 if you count Gustave), so each member gets their time to shine in both the gameplay and story. Some might argue Lune and Sciel are pointless, but they each give you a perspective on the game’s main themes and their insight into things can help you inform which ending you pick. Sciel and Lune both represent the citizens of Lumiere in different ways.

Building those relationships in Persona was never fun, since it involved grinding social stats. E33 cuts out the middle man, which is a marginal improvement.

The truth is that both games would be improved by a classic BioWare/CRPG system where your approval rating with each of your party members actually affects things in the story.

That's not my point, E33 cuts out all the effort and just spoonfeeds them to you. It felt infantilizing. And I found some of the social links in P3 and 4 to be very engaging and meaningful. The monk in the nightclub of P3 was someone I sincerely looked forward to seeing every time.

I say his death coming a mile away honestly. The moment he asked to tag along to Old Lumiere despite explicit danger, I knew he was dead. I think his relationship with Monoco could have been fleshed out more. We only just find out that Monoco is his dad, and then he dies an hour or two later.

The best analogy I can came up for it is when The Last Of Us came out and everyone just couldnt stop overhyping it and claiming that this was the moment video games became art. And I'm sitting there, thinking "This?" A game that cant stop tripping over itself while it's stealing every memorable plotpoint and idea from post apocalyptic media of the last 40 years and tries its hardest to be as far removed from a game and straight up a movie. This is the video game you want to champion as the greatest game ever made?

>>725987779
I agree with TLOU being overhyped. But unlike TLOU, E33 had no intention of being an “Oscarbait” style game. It was literally just a guy who loves PS1 era JRPGs wanting to make his own JRPG, and the game is just a really well executed version of that. It’s certainly not any more cinematic than a typical JRPG either.

The status of E33 as an artsy game was something the public assigned to it rather than the devs.

Story wise, it was also going for what FFs VII, VIII and IX did. And the devs did that because they liked those games rather than any other reason.

all this seething can only lead me to believe this game is amazing

3/10 game

Story premise was kind of interesting until the characters started talking, then it all goes downhill. Big fat exposition dumps that are ultimately pointless, vapid characters with 0 chemistry having drawn out conversations like Skyrim NPCs. The setting feels like it was generated by AI.
The gameplay is the biggest detractor though, it's been said a million times but the dodge mechanic renders the entire turn based gimmick redundant, the QTE for every ability is a chore. It is not fun or rewarding, I was actively dreading getting into battles because it sucked so much. There is no strategy other than remember animation patterns, every other feature does not matter, only the dodge and parry buttons.

Seems like the bots have been fired up in time for the awards after months of inactivity.
>>
>>725973557
It's not meant to look appealing, I tried out out of sheer word of mouth, it doesn't LOOK like anything that would interest me visualswise but it's simply perfectly done.
The dialogues and combat pace, it manages to make turn based combat feel so dynamic and fun like FFX and Persona 5. It's the premium experience of rpgs. You just try it and get hooked

I will stress that if you are considering playing this, that you at least pirate it first. After having actually played the game, I genuinely believe that almost all of the hype is artificial.

The game is woke propaganda but to many tards here don't see it because it has hot white woman. I refunded it after pic related then read the story online, its essentially a modern day Gone Home. /v/ of 10 years ago would have torn in to it but now everyone here are brain washed retards. In 10 more years I'm sure people here would praise a game where the protagonist is a tranny fighting their parents in a dwarf fortress sim because they don't call him a she.
>>
>>725989731
How tf is it average, it makes every other rpg feel obsolete in comparison. Not BAD, I still enjoyed playing Digimon Time Stranger, but the new era of rpgs should be copying more of Expedition 33's gameplay but that probably requires way more money. Animations for a bigger variety of attacks from your characters, targeting different body parts, and other interactive actions like dodging and parrying.
Ff6 and Mario rpg were the prototype for this 30 years ago

Dodging and parrying ruins the entire combat system, there is zero purpose of having any RPG elements with an included invincibility button.

I think that people have wanted a large scale FF-style turn based RPG because it's been over 2 decades since we got the insane run of FF6 to FF10 but the problem here is that people are so thirsty that they are just settling for the first thing that looks like that, overlooking the flaws.
Before E33, it was Lost Odyssey which was also mediocre (a lot better than E33 though). People swore that Lost Odyssey was the GOAT, better than any FF and made delusional defenses against any criticism similar to E33fags.

I want a new classic style FF game too, but I'm not settling for this slop.

I never was delusional about LO, but it was clearly better than other FFs from that time and after. as for e33 you can still beat it without parrying or dodging. in fact by endgame if youre playing right you will never need to dodge or parry again
>>
this game has some sick guitar solos
>>
>>725990818
LO received middling reviews on release, and part of the reason it was overhyped was because it had Sakaguchi's name on it. The only people who were ride or die for it were Sakaguchi cultists who were mad at the direction FF was going.

E33 came out of nowhere with no attachment to FF and is universally praised by basically everyone. Ironically the only people I can imagine disliking it are jrpg fans who want to be contrarian.

Now that I think about it, you're right. Tons of areas are fractured, which makes sense story-wise due to the Fracture. Still, it comes with a certain kind of geometric monotony that I guess I wasn't into on a subconscious level. Sirene was gorgeous and reminded me of some of the more unique areas from games like Lost Kingdoms or Baten Kaitos, just excellent work all over.

>>725992362
Plot reasons aside, I wonder if the reason they didn’t make Maelle romanceable is because they were scared of backlash for making a 16 year old romanceable.

You’re right, but the American cultural zeitgeist is prudish and likes to pretend that 16 year olds are children with no sexual capacity.

If E33 was made by an American dev, Maelle wouldn’t have gotten a swimsuit unlock at all.
