jrpgs and tranime will always be the same tired formulaic slop with the same tired tropes every single time. both forms of medium have been stagnant for decades now. their only appeal is fanservice and attractive female designs to serve as masturbatory fuel whilst being dogshit in every other category.
this game serves as a prime example that whites will always be far superior to asians or any sort of race in creating well written stories and art. the fact that every japanese developer was buck broken by this game and admitted its superiority to anything they ever made like hironobu sakaguchi and hideo kojima is fucking telling. ricecels and browns will eternally seethe at this masterpiece.

X-2 mega flopped why? Because it they turned the virgin pure sex priestess into a fucking WHORE.
What’s the most popular JRPG series? That’s right, Persona. Why? Because you get to have SLOPPY SEX WITH ALL THE VIRGIN SCHOOLGIRLS AND TEACHERS.
Which Xenoblade was the most popular? That’s right, Xenoblade 2. BOOBS: THE GAME.

The Japanese don't understand that less is more. Over the top exposition is what they use for most of their entertainment. Only a few exceptions to that rule have been made, and those exceptions are explicitly inspired by western influences. For example anime like neon gen/paranoia agent/angel egg. The souls series of games has really no story. I wonder if this makes the average japs head explode since they are used to such hand holding in 99% of all their entertainment.
>>
>>736404284
this games story is incoherent garbage that imploads in on itself.
shitty reality rugpull trope that undermines the whole story you just told. at the end it not only throw out all meaning of the world and character we spent the whole game seeing but also expects us to care about irrelevant characters that have had no screen time or developement and seem to just be a bunch of retarded junkies who deserve to die any way.

The writing is also very low IQ and full of exposition dumps because the writers write pointless convoluted garbage they need to constantly stop and explain and have never heard of 'show don't tell'.

>The Japanese don't understand that less is more
FromSoftware. E33 is very over-the-top in its presentation and easy to follow. And a lot of Western media is filled with tons of exposition. The most popular pieces of western media is guilty of it. Look at the MCU.
>>
>>736405893
BoTW and ToTK also understand less is more along with FromSoft/Miyazaki. Yoko Taro is also pretty good. Japanese know more about storytelling than westoids these days. The thing about JRPGs is that the popular ones that people are familiar with are aimed at young boys. Of course they’d be about this young teen rebellion and youth shit with over the top antics and anime style dialogue.
>>
Maybe you think your favorite JRPG has a way better and complex story but the problem with JRPGs is the presentation is shit. If the translation isn't robotic, the native English writing isn't even how normal people talk. I just can't deal with it as a normie.

It's more like the game wants to use the (presumed) empathy you've built up for the members of your party to justify siding with Alicia and stay in the painting forever. Because only an idiot would believe the grieving teenage girl won't just retreat further into her delusions to avoid having to deal with a painful reality. Her mother is doing exactly that and it's causing most of the games conflict as the father tries his hardest to stop his wife and now daughter from killing themselves living out a fantasy, while the elder sister just fucks off to do other things.

The whole game ends up being about the Desendre family drama that Lumiere becomes window dressing to it instead.

E33 fags have to be the most pretentious fags ever.
The story for this game isn't even good. The first 2 acts are a generic save the world plotline, while the final act is a failed allegory for escapism.
The escapism is bad message doesn't work because lumiere is basically a real dimension with real thinking people. At best you could argue the game keeps it ambiguous, but clearly it implies that the people of lumiere are real.
Not to mention that using the paintings is objectively beneficial due to time dilation. You can use them to effectively extend your life.
Either way, lumiere doesn't work as an escapism allegory and has no grounding in reality.
The ending is also a bit of an artificial dichotomy created for the sake of melodrama.
The gameplay of the game is also highly derivative
All in all, you fags are retards impressed by shallow aesthetics

>It'd be incredibly stupid to pull the lever to kill your family just to save a picture of people, as opposed to the very real and living ones.
Nah, that's your head canon. Its a magic painting, and it's implied that the people are real. Renoir never once tells maelle in the last act that the people are fake, even though he's motivated to do so. Infact he addresses them as maelle's friends and that they speak truth.
It's kept ambiguous at best, which hurts the narrative.
The ending is also an artificial dichotomy. The idea that you can't hide the painting is contrived. You're telling me that you couldn't throw the painting at the bottom of the ocean in a water proof box or something?

Your headcanon is making the false assumption that the people in the painting are real. When they aren't even the originals you start the game with, as Alicia recreates them after they gommage, that leads to a whole host of theoretical questions of the self and whether any of them are even the true versions of themselves if Alicia can just unpaint then repaint them at will.

No, they're all fake, but the real people inside the painting are in fact incredibly stupid women folk who'd rather play dollhouse till they die than accept their son/brother is dead and the father is the only heroic one trying to stop his family from falling apart due to grief.

>>736414867
>When they aren't even the originals you start the game with,

>No, they're all fake
Nowhere in the game does it say that they are fake. Even Renoir didn't say so even when he should have if he wanted maelle to leave. He should have brought it up.
It's clear that the writers wanted to keep it ambiguous or make you think that the characters are real.
The idea that they are fake is your head canon.
Either way this is a mediocre story with no grounding in reality.
Even if they were to be fake, using the paintings is still objectively beneficial because of time dilation, unlike real life escapism. Maelle's mother was there for decades without dying.
>>
>>736414867
Where exactly in the game does it say that they are fake? You have to have proof to back up your claims. Otherwise it's headcanon

I mean. In execution they're quite different.
But E33 is basically FF10 from the perspective of Zanarkand.

That's about it when it comes to vidya. There are also VNs, Muramasa immediately comes to mind.

Yeah, I sure do love that they all come from the same place, have the same background, have the same motivation for going on the expedition, and three of the four are the same age. That makes for really interesting character dynamics. But, hey, at least the muted color palette and UE5 graphical style means that they look hideous, too.

They are distinct characters with different personalities and backstories, what the fuck are you talking about? They even shoved an asian in there for you diversity whiners

>>736421508
Different backstories? What would those be?
>I lived in Lumiere, I lost someone to the gommage, now I want to stop the paintress
Wow! They really are varied, interesting personality types. Why don't you just admit you got BTFO'd and you can't defend your shitty, overrated game?

I just think the Japanese stink at ending stories, but they can definitely put together interesting premises and ideas

Do you really think that is criticism in any way shape or form? Crying about overrated just makes you seem like a retarded reactionairy that can't help but get manipulated by whatever some sperg is spamming here.
