claire obscure

[OssMan]

Whos playing it and whos got thoughts onnett... Took me a while to warm up to the dark souls elements of the battles that everyone was gushing over. Im a turn based purist which is why it took me a while to warm up... but getting the patterns in the boss fights is kinda good

Feels like the ppl who made this are just ppl who grew up playing the same games I did... very obvious Persona/FF10 influence... keep thinking "this is the game final fantasy 13 should have been"

Its loaded with optional stuff... main quest got kinda easy but finding the random stuff on the world map that they dont tell you about (which ive been waiting since like, final fantasy 9 for a game to harken back to) is full of crazy difficult enemies

Dont love all the menu navigation with pictos and lumina... messes with the pacing having to do all that

Very cool and small cast of characters... big fan of "Maelle"... crazy ass story that starts very "in media res" and doesnt reveal hardly any thing till way later. French ah hell... but they lean into it which is funny with the mime costumes and bagguetes and stuff. The music is tight... we love a leitmotif

So ya whos playing claire obscure expedition 33...
