>We made an RPG by the same playbook as any other RPG, but it has generic UE5 visuals
>Immediately hailed as a masterpiece by people who despise everything to do with JRPGs
That guy who called it the Eminem of RPGs was right. It's a good game, but its fandom is full of people who are completely ignorant to the greater genre. I don't get how a game made by people who love the games that inspired the one they made could attract people so incurious and outright hostile against them. Is it just "rahrah Japan bad?"

Lune was a bit generic with her main thing being family issues from a life of living up to her parent's expectations rather than her own.

I was in it for Sciel's pure damaged goods, but accepting of it and moving on in the moment approach.

There's also Clea, but you really don't really get a lot of her.

The first two acts of the game do a really good job at making you fiddle with all the systems and character builds to keep each fight feeling fresh. You might try the pictos that makes it so a character gains AP on taking damage then pair it with a weapon that has DEF/HP scale and do so memey shit for a bit. The moves, pictos, and weapons you choose are a lot more varried, and it does a lot to stop every fight from feeling like you just have to choose and exploit elemental weakness then do next fight.

I do say that all the journos who blow the game down probably never did act 3 content outside of the character stories and final boss. That shit is so obscenely overtuned that pretty much every character is running the same 2 or 3 pictos and every engagement is playing out almost exactally the same to maximize damage to get through that shit. Fuck Act 3, it's boring as fuck and goes all in on the worst parts of the parry slop meme while the RPG building part falls to bits. Enjoy only using Mallell, Verso, Sciel fire style.

Yeah it was really new and interesting how a plucky band of adventurers set out to save the world and it turns out that there's actually a lot of big family drama behind the force that's trying to end the world that they have to navigate. Certainly a fresh take on the genre that no one's thought to do constantly.

I tried doing some memey shit where Monaco spammed out shields since he can pretty easily get the whole party armored up, but a lot of the end game shit is doing like 15 hit party wide attacks you can't miss a single dodge or parry on so it felt pointless.

I agree with you, and I thought the Masonic symbolism was cool and I was pointing it out in threads and other people thought it was cool too, but this was all before the shills caught on to the game and before conversation about the game turned into "you're brown and you didn't play the game" wars.

And then when it started winning literally every single award, I realized it wasn't just cool Masonic symbolism. It was actually Masonic.

I was there from day 1 as soon as 4chan came back up. There was about 1 week of real discussion. Then for the entire duration of May, 4chan allowed there to be 20+ concurrent E33 around the clock 24/7, and every single thread was just people spamming "you're brown" or "you didn't play the game" or "muh Final Fantasy". And then beginning exactly on June 1st, all the threads ceased, so that by June 2nd there were only 2 concurrent E33 threads, both of them were slow as fuck, and I don't even think one of them hit bump limit. And this happened literally overnight between May and June.

*THEN* E33 started winning every single award, more awards than the previously most shilled game of all time, The Last of Us 2. And sure, E33 was decent, but it was not good enough to win every single award for an entire year, surpassing even The Last of Us 2 in how shilled it was.

Silksong literally has a massive jewish donor and a troon lead dev, why are you seething about this game which is made by White normal people?

>studio of only 33 people (in addition to hundreds of outsourced jeets) usually get movie deals before they release?
The list is public:

Can you share a screen of the hundred outsourced jeets you are talking about?
Also the game is AA but the number of people working on it has nothing to do with it being indie or not. Silksong had more than 100 people working on it.

>Turn based purist faggots hate skill and timing

Turn based games are about strategy and planning, there is nothing skillful about E33, it's all about pressing the parry button, which allows you to trivialize the entire game.

>why are you seething about this game which is made by White normal people?

Those Whites also want their people to go extinct.
