Lol I wonder how the game would have been received as well as his tragic backstory if the game revealed she was a man, or a crippled male.
Probably disgust from women I would imagine. Consider if it's revealed gender flipped Maelle was Ricky Burwick instead. The instant ick factor.

If she a guy, you would all be calling her a chud.

For me I chose Verso and Renoir's side because the painted people shouldn't have existed in the first place. Aline irresponsibility painted life and it completely fucking up her entire family.
The destruction of the painted world is a mercy kill.
It is harsh but unfortunately necessary and the correct thing to do.
>>
Reminder that real Verso died because of her.

You know I never got why people were so offended at that face Maelle makes. It's the exact same expression Lune makes during Gustave's burial and no one thought she was "smug" about him dying.

Thank you brother who just saved my life I will torture the last remnant of your soul for eternity and an identical copy of you as well lol

Why have they introduced an instant irreversible kill mechanic on a fight with the worst telegraphs so far.
And Why did they have to make renoir's (probably) first fight shit
>>
>>729697808
>>729700685
For me it was putting Verso out his misery. They basically used the chunk of his soul as a slave, and only painted Verso seems to give a shit.

If real world Maelle were revealed to be a boy at the end of Act 2, I would have uninstalled the game and never spoken another word about it

I just beat vanilla endless tower, infuriating the final fight was not even the hardest one, it actually felt fair.

I am about to tackle Simon, how much not fun I am gonna have?

Interesting Clea gives Maelle her original hair but white, its a cut compromise after shitting on both of her parents.

Hey that wasnt that hard

Of course.

Then make the fight hard by giving him a cracked kit, not wet newspaper damage and no tools except one deliberately elongated instant kill

>>729698981
ChatGustave, is this real?
>>
>>729695328
I could understand if the painting people had existed for a long time, many years or such, like young Verso made them in his painting and they'd existed ever since.

But they're new creations, in terms of IRL time, they're like less than 6 months old and perhaps younger than that, existing under the delusion that decades or centuries have passed. Once there was proven to be a disjointing of time between IRL and the painting, all bets were off

I couldn't find anything with hair that suited her except that, seeing as how she was cool with living as the Gestrals' arena champion for the rest of her life. And chic is one of the outfits that shows off her belly while being different than her uniform and is aesthetic

Sciel looks best in Clea's outfit imo, also why would you sprint with her, Lune leads always

>>729701027
You’re explicitly told that she didn’t join the expedition to save Lumiere, she actually hated it there. She just wanted to run away.

>>729694018
She’s 16 y/o from very rich family. There will be hundreds of suitors lining up to marry her even despite her injuries. She will never be a femcel

We Lost was the game original name. Quite fitting as the people on the canvas keep getting fucked, armaggedon, then the gommage, then gustave, just loss after loss.

The widescale fellation of E33 is, I must confess, a laughable phenomenon to observe.

An "indie" game made on a $10 million budget, with a star-studded voice cast and the backing of wealthy investors, while making use of Unreal Engine stock assets - and all propped up by an emotionally manipulative storyline that anyone who's read a book or two beyond the shallow end of contemporary fiction will recognize is trite and mawkish - sweeping every award in 2025 is perfectly fitting.

Mechanically, the game completes the illusion. It is a JRPG designed for normies who hate (or rather, are embarrassed to be associated with) JRPGs and are far more interested in an "accessible and immersive" experience. The result is a combat loop that flatters the player’s sense of participation while asking almost nothing of them beyond rhythmic compliance: press the button, watch the spectacle. It's Pavlovian.

The narrative is less a story than a checklist of affective cues, engineered to provoke recognition rather than reflection. It's all handled with the kind of solemn obviousness that mistakes earnestness for depth. It insists upon emotion as a substitute for thought.

That this design philosophy is rewarded so thoroughly speaks less to the game’s individual failings than to the current critical ecosystem surrounding games. Awards culture increasingly favours works that resemble prestige television. E33's critical success rests almost entirely on an aggressively curated emotional register. Of course, to question the shallowness of such experiences is to risk being framed as elitist, even as the industry openly celebrates projects engineered to offend no one and challenge nothing.

Don't mistake my point. E33 is not a catastrophe. It is worse than that: it is exemplary. It represents the logical endpoint of a medium desperate for cultural legitimacy, chasing validation by mimicking the least demanding forms of "serious" art while hollowing out what once made its genres distinct.

Lune was holding herself up to try to fit her standard of "Cool under pressure". Maelle just fucking annihilated someone in front of the sibling of that person, in revenge.

Nah, she's unnecessary cruel to the inhabitants of the painted world. Renoir would at least mercy kill them with the gommage

>>729704835
This bitch is a psychopath and probably going to be her world's Hitler if she ever beats the writers, so it's natural some of you would like her.

does anyone argue that she did?
