Expedition 33 delivers some of the most satisfying turn-based combat in years despite what fags say. Battles feel fast and reactive thanks to its dodge, parry, and timing mechanics, making every encounter engaging instead of repetitive. Character builds offer plenty of flexibility, encouraging experimentation with skills and team synergies and other cool shit. Exploration is rewarding too, with clever level design and meaningful secrets hidden throughout the world. While a few encounters can drag late-game, the gameplay loop stays consistently addictive. It successfully blends classic JRPG strategy with modern action elements, creating a combat system that feels both nostalgic and fresh af.
It requires white skin.

>>739498729How did this shit manage to outsell Final fucking Fantasy?
>>739499097final fantasy hasn't been good since the ps2
>>739498729>parry parry parry parry parry parry parryWhy don't you just fucking play DDR if all you want is to do QTEs all day
>>739498729Ok
>>739499097The primary audience that plays FF games is 30+ yrs old
>>739499627And Indian
>>739499448>QTEsYou can turn the QTEs off in the settings if they bother you
>>739498729White.>>739499463Based.
Turn based RPGs are for retards with no standards.
I think that you opinion is wrong. This mediocre trash is the most overrated game in a long time and anyone who likes it is a tasteless normie nigger.
>>739500010So then it just becomes yet another boring ass dvd menu simulator
>>739500326turning off QTE's doesn't turn off parrying, doesn't that kind of make you a retard?
>>739498729>most satisfying turn-based combat in yearsPresentation really is all that matters. Fucking Silveman was right after all.
>>739500326do you even like JRPGs
>>739500326Nope. You still need to parry if you want to not die. You just don't have to do the QTEs if you find those unfun.
>>739500494>What do you mean i die if i take too much damage, bad game durrrrwhat a thought provoking point, not retarded at all
>>739498729I was surprised just how basic everyone's moveset was. It felt like a massive shakeup to have one person actually use a healing spell on someone else. Apparently they can get away with that if they have the superguard from Paper Mario 2, but I still expected it to be a bit harder to decide which move a person should use next.
>>739500697fitting because honkai star rail was one of their major inspirations
>>739500663Are you genuinely incapable of understanding the point he laid out in plain English? Maybe you need another chance to get it.>if you can't get the parry consistently, you can use all of the best everything and you will lose 100% of the time.
>>739500565All other JRPGs are inferior to E33
How was this ever treated as an indie game? It's clearly not
Dlc when? Not playing this shit until it's done
>>739500821you don't get how much of a shitter you have to be to not being able to beat normal with subpar parrying, you can complete the game by just equipping the most recent pictos you found and tank through most of the hits.But you are just a faggot that doesn't play games anyway so what do you know
>>739501083It got it's first and last DLC last December
>>739501097Fairly early in the game, there's a boss fight against Francois. The only thing of note about this boss is he hits hard enough to kill a character. This means the fight is basically not getting hit too much. Your insistence on tanking it does not work. It does more damage than a character has health. The correct way to deal with that boss is pressing the "not take damage" button when that attack is about to hit. There is a dodge that you might use instead, but parry counters do so much damage that you'll at least want to use them. You definitely aren't taking the damage and putting together a strategy of healing and working towards strong moves like you would in a normal RPG. It's pressing a button when you're about to take damage, and the rest is busywork.
>>739501478you heard some youtuber seethe about a joke boss only has a single attack and assumed that is the entire game?You just blow out from stupid town
It's white.
>>739500957No browns.
i've never seen a community that is so desperate to convince everyone that they're white
>>739502134I wonder what Sandfall thinks of these comments.
>>739501621Did you flunk elementary school? When people say it's a bad idea to run a toaster in the bathtub, do you say they only heard that from a Youtuber and you're going to do it anyway?That is a microcosm of the entire game. Other enemies obviously have more than one attack and some other traits, but the game generally is designed so that enemy attacks do a fuckload of damage but they can be parried/dodged to do no damage. Francois isn't the only boss with an instant kill. Characters also have very basic movesets where it's generally very obvious which move you should use. It's incredibly similar to Persona 5, but nobody even has as many options as side characters can have in P5, let alone Joker. They don't have many options, and they all have some gimmick that amounts to using a certain move at a certain time to make it extra obvious which move you should use. You can keep shouting that you can tank every hit even though that isn't true at all. Francois is one of many examples where you're not going to be fine tanking damage, and there are plenty of other moves that amount to pressing a button before they hit or it kills.
>>739499079>Despite what fags sayBold of you to plant your flag is the faggot camp. If I could ask, what first attracted you to men's assholes? Was is love at first sight, or an acquired taste?
C-Cameronxisters... We lost... again...
>>739502281>You can keep shouting that you can tank every hit even though that isn't true at all.this applies to alot of other jrpg's where they have a countdown attack and when it reaches 0 your entire party is dead, i guess those games can be classified as "delay the attack or die" because a single boss has an attack like that
>>739502730>I hate rap but like EminemThis isn't unexpected, right? For someone on the border of accessible for rap, they're not gonna like most rappers, but they can't deny liking the absolute best... Which everyone agrees Eminem is one of.I don't like scallops much, but premier fresh ones, of to shelf quality, prepared by master chefs? Yeah, I'll eat those.
>>739502730>"People like a good RPG, instead of my bottom of the barrel weebslop? T-T-They must be RACIST!!!"Weebs are the lowest form of society and should face the fucking wall.
>>739500494>you have to parryThis is admittedly true in the beginning, but after you progress a bit and find pictos, you can make a build that doesn't require you to parry or dodge.>counters too OPThe counters aren't even close to the strongest skills you have, but this is also admittedly true at first before you unlock stronger skills.
>>739503830>Maelle and Sciel open every fight with a hundred trillion damage hitNothing personnel, neveons
>>739502994Weird how I didn't at all talk about party instant kills as the only problem I have with the game, or even mention one. That comparison doesn't work at all, by the way, because the timed party instant kill you're referring to (without ever specifying one) is handled by finishing the boss fight before it goes off. Instant kills in E33 are dealt with by pressing a button right before it would hit. One still involves playing the game normally, just there's more focus on not being slow, which you would presumably want to do anyway because making the battle longer just means more chances for the boss to deal damage. An E33 boss might not deal any damage if you dodge or parry every hit he does, and some moves are guaranteed to kill if you don't dodge or parry them. They're opposites: one rewards playing a turn based RPG well, and one rewards timed button presses without actually caring what else you do.>a single bossI'll make this extra obvious again, and you still won't get it. The entire game is like that. That one boss is an example. Renoir also has an instant kill attack, and most bosses deal a fuckload of damage. That in itself isn't bad, except the way to deal with an attack that does a shitload of damage in E33 is a timed button press that causes you to not take damage. Maybe you should reread that the game is "press the button at the right time" 100 times in an attempt to get it.
>>739503312Does that include the developers of the game?
>>739498729You type like the most by-the-numbers video game reviewer ever.
>>739498729The satisfying combat in question
>>739504363can't believe you got filtered by a joke boss and started making essays on /v/ no one is gonna read
>>739504193Not even necessarily one shot builds, though those work too. You can also make speed builds and do normal amounts of damage per turn but just never give the enemy a turn or tank builds and just let them hit you.
>>739498729>8m copies soldnice. E33 was surprisingly good, i've never played this kind of game before, i mean a jrpg type of game, and i enjoyed it a loti put it out after finishing main story and doing few quests and discovering new areas to play different games and i need to go back to it and do all side content. i wonder what will be their next game, but i hope it's a new IP. i wouldn't be surprised if they made another game in the same universe, because people are already familiar with it, but im sure those guys could make a new game in a different universe and create something amazing again
>>739504656it's gonna be another clair obscur but probably an entirely different setting
>>739500957>small studio>small budget>creative independenceProbably because it is.
>>739505240what's weird is fags who thinks silksong is an indie but not E33, silksong has the same amount of names in the credits, like 300+ people
>>739502134Yeah I don't get why they even bother honestly. It's so obvious that they're brown because they dislike the Whitest game ever made.
>>739502730Surely xis taste can't be that bad... oh. Yikes.
>>739502134you fags literally can't attack the game because it is 10/10 in every regard so you try to call the players brown, just admit you lost
>>739498729How come every E33 thread gets flooded with seething thirdies?
>>739504437You weren't supposed to point that out...
>>739505830That's what thw majority of /v/ is.
>>739502356is this an llm reply what the fuck are you saying playtest your game faggot maybe next time you won't have to hotfix in a slider to increase boss hp by 100x
>>739505524This.
E33 a shit
>>739500494Retarded post. You can dodge which has much more forgiving timing.
>>739505946>Take the fag stance>Get called a faggotBro if you don't want to get wet, don't dive into the pool
>>739505830Because E33 is a real game and not gacha which is 99 percent of third worlders play
>>739498729I like this game but being able to spam dodge and parry outside of your turn ruins the combat completely.
>>739505830ubisoft is still paying them to shit on it
>>739498729>Nobody talks about the game or the story>Shillniggers just spam sales figuresSad.
>>739499097But it didn't
>>739508474>Nobody talks about the game or the storyLiterally every E33 thread is about the story or the gameplay you schizo
>>739498817That would be Fez. The most pretentious was the canceled Fez 2.
>>739505830Falcom/Atlus/Xenoblade fans can't run the game
