Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (@expedition33)

Expeditioners,
︀︀
︀︀Earlier this year, our Collector’s Edition sold out way faster than we expected. We know a lot of you missed out, so we’ve spent the time since then putting something together with @Laced_audio.
︀︀
︀︀Presenting: the Monolith Set.
︀︀
︀︀It includes all the physical merch from the Collector’s Edition, just without the base game and downloadable cosmetics. That means the Steelbook case, Monolith music box, and Expedition Journal Artbook are all in there.
︀︀
︀︀We’re able to offer it at a lower price: £99.99 / $119.99. If you're located in France, you'll be able to purchase from @Pixnlove to benefit from lower shipping costs.
︀︀
︀︀Due to the ongoing tariff situation between the US and China, shipping costs to the US will be higher to account for potential charges at delivery, and US customers may incur additional import duty.
︀︀
︀︀To help combat scalpers, we’re also limiting purchases to two per custom…

yeah i'll get scammed out of my money for some cheap collectibles for stuff i like, what about it

[buoyant lynx]

yeah same

[tawdry shard]

I’m so buying this

Where’s the link

Man

I love this game so much

It’s honestly perfect

One of the best turn based action RPG released in the modern era

I’ve never really been a fan of turn based games, have never hated them but they just weren’t my cup of tea

But this game changed my whole perspective

Maybe I’ll actually try the games that Vash plays, even tho he doesn’t talk to me I do see him playing some interesting titles that I’ve been hesitant to jump into. I mean BG3 is also turn based but it’s….. boring, the play style isn’t like Expedition 33 where the action animation scenes are insanely good, and the dodge/ parry system, forgot what it’s actually called, actually keeps you focused and interested in the fights instead of most turn based games where you just press attack or use a skill and wait until the next turn happens.

I think that’s why I kinda of don’t really like BG3 turn based combat

Best turn based game I’ve played before this was Final Fantasy 10

Luck is one of the best stats, unironically. Gives speed, not as much as agility, but it doesn't lag behind much, and it gives the most crit.

Although, once you start getting high lvl pictos, it doesn't take too much effort to cap crit without investing into luck or defense.

[stable spear]

always build luck

[brisk apex]

||https://www.reddit.com/r/expedition33/comments/1kad76r/attribute_points_cheat_sheet/ ||

Not that I expect you to use that resource but it's what I used when deciding how to allocate points early, mid & late game.

Although, late game, once you decide on a weapon, it's just maxing the two scaling stats and then maxing might for maximum damage. Survivability outside of using shields or weapons like ||Simoso|| is irrelevant.

[stable spear]

im just gonna build agi next

more speed mor fast

[buoyant lynx]

i mean crit is basically useless past like 25%

there's so amny ways to cap out crit

even in a2

[stable spear]

im doing some scuffed shit

i'm probably going to go into burn after

[buoyant lynx]

i wish that we could have gotten some of the other status effects

like webbed or whatever it was

i know the dodge mobs have incredibly lwo hp but it would be fun to have one with high hp that made you use stuff like that

[lethal topaz]

bound?

[brisk apex]

It's not useless as the amount of crit you have does influence what pictos you can take while keeping crit capped. If you're using a weapon that scales with luck, and especially luck + defense, you can afford to take a picto or two that gives nothing but speed, since your base crit would be 54%

I haven’t been hardstuck by anything thrown at me

So I guess my builds are pretty decent

[buoyant lynx]

normal is easy

[tawdry shard]

I’ll play harder difficulty next run

oh it's for sale already?

they didn't even post a link

[amber sedge]

it's in the tweet. the lacedrecords thing

they mentioned it was going up for preorder the next day, aka today

[buoyant lynx]

got it

thanks

[amber sedge]

https://www.lacedrecords.com/

[buoyant lynx]

51 dollars shipping

HOLY

[amber sedge]

hoooly

and i was alrdy not happy with my shipping

wonder how expensive it's gonna be for you guys with tariffs

[amber sedge]

https://i.imgur.com/Q1GLOI7.png

[buoyant lynx]

yeah so honestly not that different unless ig et hit with some huge import fee on delivery lol

[amber sedge]

shipping cost definitely sucks though but i'll bite the bullet

[stable spear]

54 for me

[buoyant lynx]

[stable spear]

[buoyant lynx]

only 3 more dollars to ship across the country

[stable spear]

Thanks Trump probably

[amber sedge]

don't forget from the tweet right after the remark about higher delivery costs for the us

"and US customers may incur additional import duty."

oh well now to wait till they officially announce the esquie plushie and i'll buy that too

[buoyant lynx]

i hope they make a 7 ft one

[amber sedge]

o-okay that might be a bit much

[stable spear]

I cant wait for all 20cm of the monolith

[amber sedge]

i'm assuming it'll be (ending spoilers) ||the one in the house and the one maelle carries at the end of the verso ending||

[buoyant lynx]

it'll be the real one actually and you can ask him if he's whee or whoo and then squeeze him for wine

[amber sedge]

it's a pretty sick looking music box

[amber sedge]

hoooooly

it plays my favourite song of the game too

[buoyant lynx]

which one is that

[amber sedge]

https://youtu.be/luws1HLqiHo?feature=shared&t=283

alicia

[buoyant lynx]

I don't even know the names but my favorites are the ones with guitar at the end

shit actually shreds

and also goblu fight music

[amber sedge]

those are pretty sick too yeah

idek why goblu randomly goes so hard

just some random ass encounter

[buoyant lynx]

I also kind of expected more given he runs away

unless i just missed it/dont remember

[amber sedge]

i think that might've actually just been a scrapped plot point

||the way it only attacked once you touched the flower was never really touched on, so ppl speculate it might've been something like a reincarnation plot point where that might've even been sophie, hence why it's so attached to the flower, but it obviously just never leads anywhere||

i guess early act 1 spoilers

[raven charm]

has to be scrapped, literally not a flawed nevron (full white) and still able to have the ||free will to not hunt down Verso and Aline creations||

[buoyant lynx]

Yeah defeinitely seems that way. Although it could also just be a case of they made the creature really like that flower but given this isn't real life and they are specifically designed for things they can't get attached to random objects like real life animals

[raven charm]

||Une vie à peindre, Une vie à t'aimer, Une vie à rêver
3 songs
only songs in the game with 11 minutes each
both endings have the same names as the first 2 songs

DEVS GIVE ME THE GOOD ENDING NOW||

[amber sedge]

[hoary plover]

bro ||sciel is so goated man shes always level headed ||🐐

[slim loom]

||sciel is the worst character in this game||

[wide pagoda]

yeah imma hard pass on that

[amber sedge]

wait i just ordered it from the french site and it's cheaper and has no import taxes for me cuz it's within the eu

[stable spear]

[tawdry shard]

BRO

WHY THE FUCK IS MY SHIPPING COST SO HIGH???????????

FUCKIN TRUMP BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[buoyant lynx]

Shut the FUCK up

Yapping ass peasant

[tawdry shard]

TIME TO FUCKIN DIE MOTHERFUCKER!

umm

|| Monoco || worth having in your party?

[misty linden]

He the best

[tawdry shard]

I feel like I could never replace, Maelle, Lune, and Sciel

they're just so strong together

[stable spear]

hes the chad

maelle skip

[tawdry shard]

bro

I just want a new weapon for Maelle

.<

skip>??>????

SHES BUSTED

so strong

[stable spear]

||monoco|| is way cooler

[torpid scaffold]

not sure if strong or you just want 3 girls party

[stable spear]

also ||this frost eveque|| is fucking my ass

I've been stuck for 3 hours on and off with this fucker

the variable timing on the attacks is the most bullshit thing I've had to deal with

[misty linden]

yeah he has multiple variants to all of it's attacks

[buoyant lynx]

Yeah I skipped him until i could one shot him

every single attack having a fast medium and slow variant was fucking awful

especially because the fast ones hit you before the sound queue

[tawdry shard]

BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[misty linden]

https://tenor.com/view/hang-first-time-smiles-gif-14991372

[stable spear]

yeah I found the visual cues after like 2 hours 😭

I just fucking did it

[buoyant lynx]

deserved

hopefuylly it corrupted your save

[buoyant lynx]

[stable spear]

Forgive the steamdeck resolution I'm out of town

[amber sedge]

steamdeck clair obscur

[tawdry shard]

ur playing on a Steam Deck?

which one do you have?

I'll buy one right now

[brisk apex]

You already know the reason

[stable spear]

uhhh

[stable spear]

the OLED 1tb

but iirc there's a new model coming out very soon

so I would wait

I literally had an easier time ||with the chromatic moisseneuse|| because my build is like break base

[misty linden]

weakest character in this game is

||Lune in the endgame. She pretty good all the way until the end of act 2||

[stable spear]

aw man

||I like using her and the lightning stuff||

it makes my brain go brr to see|| a billion numbers during multi-hit attacks||

[raven charm]

||lune ||is strong wtf

[misty linden]

everyone else is just better

[buoyant lynx]

Lune literally has absurd cheeses

with typhoon

and giga slow

[misty linden]

||yeah she is amazing for gradient charging||

[buoyant lynx]

Plus she has a move literally called Hell

[raven charm]

||one of her gradients is giga aoe dmg, storm call has strong combos (like charging gradient like crazy with braselim)||

[buoyant lynx]

||you can set her up for giga slow + heals on typhoon which then procs gradient charging shell rush powerful etc||

[raven charm]

||and terraquake increases all break dmg received||

[amber sedge]

i think ||lune and monoco are probably still the weakest 2|| but that's moreso cuz everyone else is kinda busted

[buoyant lynx]

well if you compare them to maelle yeah

they just fucked her numbers up

[amber sedge]

i guess it depends on how much you value ||sciel's support|| but to me her ||double damage skill is just always gonna make me consider her rly fucking strong||

[buoyant lynx]

||sciel has some of the highest damage builds in the game||

[amber sedge]

but yeah you can do everything in the game with everyone so it's all good anyway

[stable spear]

I like ||monoco's versatility|| all of his shit I put to be able to break

||except the caster mask I have for the buffs||

[amber sedge]

yeah he's a very good jack of all trades

[stable spear]

||her first gradient attack with lune's lightning storm ||

[amber sedge]

||he was my marker, burner, defenceless applyer, breaker and whatever else you had until i setup my auto death builds||

[buoyant lynx]

||kinda wish all the death shit didn't exist||

||or maybe all the auto shell haste powerful etc||

[misty linden]

Blue mage

[raven charm]

and a lot of good AoEs

[buoyant lynx]

lune is my aoe clearer for any non boss fight

auto stain gen for 2 stains then typhoon or the fire one if i have a ice/fire stain > elemental clown show instagibs any non boss

[raven charm]

||monoco can aoe instagib non bosses with just glaise earthquake, dmg is almost stendhal dmg and you don't need a specific mask for it||

"medium dmg" btw

[buoyant lynx]

yeah i realllllllllllly hope they remove those descriptors

just tell us the %

[amber sedge]

felt pretty pointless and honestly misleading sometimes lol

[buoyant lynx]

Yeah I mean I'm definitely a proponent of you can give players too much info (poe) but this isn't a case here

[brisk apex]

They won't. Most jrpgs don't.

And this is just a jrpg disguised as a french rpg

[tawdry shard]

@buoyant lynx

[buoyant lynx]

why are you tagging me for trash mob kills

[stable spear]

lmfao

[hoary plover]

||This boss was fun af the laser attack was satisfying to hear||

I use the ||monoco skill where he gives all allies 5 ap when caster wheel||

[hoary plover]

||he just shows his pussy he dies ||

||for some reason I kept choking by the end ||

||pagman||

[brisk apex]

Terrible picto because it doesn't work with ||At Death's Door|| and it's not that hard to cap crit.

[indigo dove]

yea its just funny one

[dark lichen]

||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE52hW6KGgE||

[raven charm]

equip it
do one random fight
unequip it
||death door|| is now active

[indigo dove]

any elpers

[dark lichen]

@indigo dove ||last relationship tier monoco||

[raven charm]

talk with ||monoco ||in the camp

[indigo dove]

thanks

[dark lichen]

"Please help me"

[brisk apex]

I'd rather just use the ||Survivor + Auto Death|| combo instead. Synergizes with other pictos as well that activate on battle start if you fall below an hp threshold.

[indigo dove]

||monoco's son||

[raven charm]

ye but doing what I said means ||survivor|| can still save you

[brisk apex]

[indigo dove]

||dang there’s a third axon. No wonder I can’t enter that area because i haven’t talked to maelle yet||

[tawdry shard]

Hello

I wanna play Expedition 33

But I’m working today… have unfinished work to take care of

[buoyant lynx]

Lmao weekend wage cuck

[brisk apex]

[hollow sail]

||just killed the raven boss that shit is so annoying, I hate flying chromatics so much||

Act 2 optional boss

[indigo dove]

||she actually did it||

[indigo dove]

which location you fought that

[buoyant lynx]

It's literally called the ravens

[indigo dove]

oh

[hollow sail]

||I'll never get this because when sciel comes knocking I said yes immediately||

[indigo dove]

it depends on which one you go first it seems

||bro sciel's backstory what the actual fuck||

[gaunt viper]

wait how did you get this

[indigo dove]

||lune relationship 6||

[gaunt viper]

oh i see

[indigo dove]

i dont know if you need to go for her first if you want that

||because by the end of it, there's a dialogue that sciel saw everything||

[hollow sail]

Act 2 ending ||so this whole game is a family quarrel? ||

||I like this JRPG plot shit hell yeah||

[misty linden]

||yeah... Personally to me that is the worst part of this game. Like the writing kinda sucks and the whole expedition thing kinda is meaningless lmao||

[hoary plover]

||poor lune all of her life work just to be pointless||

[hollow sail]

||i think the game excels in bringing the raw emotions, even when the plot is kind of an insult to life||

||like I love versos subtle fuck me i want this to be over with expression lol||

||are the painted people sentient? What are the ethics implication of killing them off after creating them for grief? A lot of interesting questions||

||and how come lune and sciel don't have existential crisis after being revived? I would've questioned my existence at that point lul, maybe this will be answered later though||

[buoyant lynx]

Yeah to just be like "the writing sucks" because the plot turned into about family is hilarious

Also again the whole game from 5 seconds in makes it very clear that it's going to be about a family

It literally starts with talking about why Gustave didn't stay with Sophie because they disagreed on children. Maelle being an orphan and always feeling alone and abandoned

[hollow sail]

||Renoir is a such a silver fox though ||

I don't really prefer the direction they go to, but I love the execution

[misty linden]

||It does seem strange right? Im guessing after they came back and things were explained to them now that Maelle regained all her memories. They were banking on expelling renoir from the canvas to have their own life I guess.||

[hollow sail]

||maybe star ocean 3 type beat, if any of you guys ever played it||

[misty linden]

haven't

[hollow sail]

||like they are sentient for so long they become an existence||

||the twist was so badly received though they never made a star ocean sequel plotwise||

||that's after she has her memory back right? Maybe her mum is more flexible with her drawing||

[misty linden]

||Im speaking ahead and maybe you haven't gotten there yet||

||I thought you already finished the game. I'm like half awake||

[hollow sail]

Act 2 ||thinking back when maelle said Gustave was the best father and brother she had was funny/cruel in hindsight for verso lol||

[hollow sail]

||yeah not yet but no worries the signs are there maelle getting unhinged lol||

||I think the game does a very good job showing these kinds of raw emotion||

Very well acted game

My opinion of the plot aside

[misty linden]

I get you

[hollow sail]

I wrote when I first played I'm captivated by every cutscenes and that hasn't changed, I need to glaze them on that front

[hoary plover]

yeah the dialogue in this game is so good

especially the ones with sciel

and lune

[hollow sail]

act 3 ||thinking about it again maelle is kind of a VR chat addict||

[brisk apex]

||Sure, she's using the canvas to escape the real world because she hates it there. Primarily due to her condition and Verso being dead||

[buoyant lynx]

She's literally super

[brisk apex]

||If Super had a legitimate reason to be terminally online, yes. But he just wants to goon ||

[daring portal]

NAH

DON"T compare MAELLE WITH SUPER

U guys ask for the worst

|| if super is maella his canvas would be very unhinged and the best place for VR chat users in it include ERP ff14 and etc. A whole canvas turn into a cum zone||

[hoary plover]

bro ||wtf is this spell bro i was just gonna try it and it fucking one shot the boss aint no way||

fuck that

[buoyant lynx]

stenhaldt?

[hoary plover]

yeah i thought it will deal the same damage as ballet cause its also extreme

wtf is the scaling with that thing bro

[brisk apex]

To be fair, it makes sense that a 6 hit move for 9 ap does less damage than a 1 hit move for 8 ap that always reverts you to stanceless. Although, the damage disparity should be smaller since ballet does double damage on crits

This is after the devs nerfed stenhaldt dmg by 40% btw

[hoary plover]

💀

i just wanted to use it cause most of maelle skills are pretty boring

[brisk apex]

Pre nerf, you didn't even need to use ||gommage|| because stenhaldt already did insane damage

Now you kinda do need ||gommage|| for unethical one shots

[hoary plover]

||does the gustave maelle skill does good damage or nah ?||

[brisk apex]

Well, you should never use it unless the target is marked (since it doesn't remove mark but all hits benefit from the added dmg) but last time I checked, it's okay. I just like how badass the animation is.

[hoary plover]

ill use it ig

it doesnt even say anything about the scaling about stenhaldt

[brisk apex]

This is just typical jrpg shenanigans

They never tell you the scaling. The wording they use to describe how strong you can expect hits to be is very similar to persona

Except there's no "severe" or "massive" damage

[hoary plover]

thankfully i just reloaded another save for the boss

[buoyant lynx]

If you're on PC you can mod

To see the exact percent

Stendhaldt is 1500

It was 2500

She just has main character syndrome

[brisk apex]

||Only character that unlocks new skills (not gradient) in act 2 and 3. She is the main character ||

[hoary plover]

||yeah its been obvious the way she felt nostalgic about the different areas in the continent and how she didnt felt she didnt belong in lumiere||

[hoary plover]

||i love golgra bro ||

[daring portal]

Cinema cool wallpaper

[hollow sail]

act 3 question ||any side quests that are particularly recommended story-wise (other than lune's and maelle's they foisted upon you during camp?)||

[swift fiber]

||grab verso journal ||

[brisk apex]

Just do all of 'em, tbh.

||Also do flying manor and renoir's drafts||

[daring portal]

summit play it

The OG

[daring portal]

everything gonna one shot you anyway so

[lethal topaz]

||did you break the paint clump thing, i remember theres one under there||

[smoky sedge]

I think im halfway through act 2

||parrying is too busted and this game keeps selfspoiling with all the foreshadowing and stuff its pissing me off||

[lethal topaz]

🥖

[stable spear]

its not self-spoiling if its literally intentional for you to try and figure it out on your own

[lethal topaz]

wtf even is "self spoiling"

is that just not the game foreshadowing events?

what

[brisk apex]

Parrying isn't "too busted" either. It's high risk, high reward.

Can't say I expected intelligent discourse from a gacha fella, though.

[smoky sedge]

just my opinion

whatever floats your boat you know

[amber sedge]

well parrying aside it'd probably help if we had some more context behind the other part, maybe some examples and why exactly it's annoying you because foreshadowing is a pretty common part of storytelling

[lethal topaz]

i honestly thought there was no difference to parrying / dodging

just one leads to Counter Attacks

[amber sedge]

it's a pretty noticeable difference

[lethal topaz]

so thats the only shit i used the entire game

[lethal topaz]

yeah just recently found out theres more frames on dodge

[amber sedge]

there's 2 dodges for example, normal dodge and perfect dodge, to show you how much more lenient the dodge window is

[lethal topaz]

[amber sedge]

and perfect dodge is equal to parry, showing that when you can consistently perfect dodge something, you can consistently parry it too

[lethal topaz]

also i just liked using the left trigger on my controller more

[amber sedge]

meaning if it's not a perfect dodge, you would've gotten hit if you tried to parry

[lethal topaz]

than the dodge button

[amber sedge]

yeah i was a parry fella too, which is pretty inefficient probably as the game probably wants you to dodge until you actually learn timings and consistently perfect dodge at which point you know you can switch over to parrying

[daring portal]

hatou say the game isn't popular in Japan

[amber sedge]

but i brute forced it with parries anyway and just died over and over

[daring portal]

😭

parry do feel good

and forsen brute force parry

[lethal topaz]

thats the fun part

[amber sedge]

well parrying is also just more satisfying anyway so

i personally was never rly satisfied fully dodging any combo because it's not a parry

though it doesn't rly matter in the later parts of the game anyway as you stop having ap issues and your dmg can become so bloated that parry damage doesn't rly matter much lol

[lethal topaz]

yeah for sure

[stable spear]

the counter attacks always make me nut

they did excellently with the cinematic camera angles

[raven charm]

I wouldn't say op but I do think parry and dodge should be weaker, not their windows but the fact they completely ignore the dmg

it should be a % of the dmg negated instead

So people can't completely ignore defenses

[amber sedge]

in a way i get the parry complaints, a turn based combat system is typically about dealing with getting damaged or working around it in other ways. it's part of the combat

and i get that it's partly a twitch chat meme with the whole "it doesn't matter if you just parry everything" and obviously it takes work to get to that point

but it does have the tiniest sliver of truth to it

[stable spear]

it's more of a turn-based souls-like game stylized as a jrpg because of the ability to ignore the classic give-take of normal turn-based games

[lethal topaz]

its a conscious design decision from the devs, basically saying "if ur good enough you can shrug off anything and be a god"

i think thats a pretty based design decision

cant be me tho i suck at parrying

[stable spear]

lmao

[daring portal]

parrying is about sound and timing of animation

a lot jebait shit

going on in this game

[lethal topaz]

yeah lots of elden ring-esque delayed attacks

its fun tho

[stable spear]

It's certainly a unique and IMO well-doen fusion of the genres

[lethal topaz]

keeps u on ur toes

[daring portal]

imagine they add AI for reading when u to parry

and just delayed attack again

[raven charm]

camera zooming in and out often gives away the window to parry

[daring portal]

[raven charm]

too

[daring portal]

true that

sometime it slow

and shit is fast

[amber sedge]

i like it, but i also like parrying in general

[stable spear]

I can see why die-hard jrpg'ers might not like it or have gripes because the normal deliberation taking into account taking damage is a core part of the gameplay

[amber sedge]

but it does make me wonder if that aspect of the game isn't too important

[lethal topaz]

i like it but i dont like parrying ever

in any game

except this one ig

[amber sedge]

because it's also required, idk if you can get through the game at all without dodging or parrying

[stable spear]

That's why there are multiple difficulty levels imo

[lethal topaz]

isnt there a baby mode

[stable spear]

so norman gamers with no egos don't need to do all that shit to see the story

[lethal topaz]

where it auto parries

[stable spear]

yeah it's literally called story mode

idk about autoparrying

I think there's autododge

[lethal topaz]

ah

[amber sedge]

dunno but game mechanics and their importance should be universal to me, even across difficulties

[raven charm]

check tainted grail, we have a whole tree and gear here and there designed around it

[daring portal]

well I see a lot of jrpgers like Expedition 33 because it is a new stuff not for people who stuck with old old shit

u see a lot japanese gacha players play alot new chinese gacha now days

[stable spear]

that too

[amber sedge]

so if in normal or expect parrying or dodging is a must, i think having it be unnecessary on easy is not good design

[daring portal]

more than their own new JP gacha

[amber sedge]

damn it's just like khazan

[stable spear]

I don't think it's as much of a must like in uh expert

[daring portal]

nah normal u can tank it

damage is PP

[stable spear]

but it is likely intended to participate in the qte gameplay in some capacity since it was their vision of gameplay

[daring portal]

[stable spear]

or just do like gigatank energizing pain type-shit

[lethal topaz]

what part r u in now cali

[stable spear]

wrapped up act 2

now I'm in expositionville

[lethal topaz]

||whats the feet count at? 👃||

[daring portal]

ngl I love expedition numbers and their outfit design

also the mask

[stable spear]

||38 currently||

[daring portal]

Clair_obscure

imagine they add forsen as a secret boss

[hoary plover]

||without the lumina converter i dont think they would go far tbh||

[raven charm]

||they wouldn't, think about it, it harvests Nevrons chroma and make it your own, by the start of the game they couldn't even tickle painted Renoir||

|| Gustave, completely clueless about this world secrets, without any painter help, somehow made a tool with a power that only painters are supposed to have||

[misty linden]

||though without Renoir (maelle later obviously) you wouldn't be able to allocate lumina points||

[hollow sail]

No autododge it's only auto qte for offense

Would've made the parry focus bearable imo

But not sure how they can make it work without being too OP lol

[indigo dove]

yo

which ending you guys chose

[brisk apex]

||I sided with Maelle and always will. Most fellas here sided with Verso, I think||

[indigo dove]

||do we know if the people besides maelle are aware with the stuff back then? or she completely erased that thought||

||after siding maelle and watching the final cutscene I definitely regretted siding with her. Mostly because I thought she's going to revive the people that gommaged by her father and let verso age with her? in a way? Then going back to reality with her family. But the cutscene kinda hinted that only maelle knows what happened back then and people are not aware of the past||

@brisk apex

[buoyant lynx]

||maelle will never willingly leave the painting||

[misty linden]

Yes this one is a banger for sure

[misty linden]

||Always verso ending. It hurts knowing that someone they loved is gone and might be possibly their fault they are gone. Yes, she is heavily crippled by the fire. But real Verso gave their life to save Alicia. Last thing the real verso would have wanted for her is to waste her life away in a painting that isn't real and hurting her. Also the eldest sister did say she needed everyone back for the real conflict. So not only is Alicia abandoning reality, she is abandoning her own family to play in a not real world where she is in control of everything.||

[lethal topaz]

Angry Joe still making these fuck ass skits like its still 2013

[coarse sparrow]

@noble rampart

Here

[noble rampart]

okay but my ending would be banger

[coarse sparrow]

Didnt read

[noble rampart]

[amber sedge]

w-what ending

||i don't think letting the mom die is a good ending considering what they've lost already similarly, the canvases have very addicting properties, so it wasn't likely they could control themselves to begin with and that still leaves the last piecd of verso's soul to paint for eternity despite him not liking or wanting to paint|| also you might want to spoiler that

[noble rampart]

||i guess good ending would be something amongst: - Maelle understanding and embracing her fathers form of grief and somehow explaining to him that he cannot save everyone, that they have to save themselves, but accepting stepping out of canvas to not die in his world too, as its unfair to him. acknowdedging Verso as not real Verso, but someone who just looks like him - it was mentioned, but it had to be soldified somehow, this lingering of being not real person stayed in him the entire time. mom dies, but Renoir and Maelle spend the time left with her, goign through their grief together, as a family, instead of everyone griefing in their own way. canvas being kept alive (no need to erase it anymore - mom is dyign anyway), Maelle visiting it to live her second life, but not to the point of dying. Clea not being a fucking cunt anymore||

couldnt edit 😦

[noble rampart]

||mom was like way too far gone tho, like she was basically dying||

[amber sedge]

||i don't think there was anything stating she was actually going to die though, as you can see from the other ending||

[noble rampart]

aha if she doesnt die i call bs

[amber sedge]

verso's ending spoilers ||she's clearly suffering, especially towards the end where she yet again forces herself in the canvas, but she is very much in good health in verso's ending||

||i just don't think there's rly any good ending possible, and it's obviously done on purpose, at worst you still force a piece of verso's soul to keep painting forever against his will, that's about the best case scenario you can do which is pretty depressing lol||

[severe valley]

||There is no happy ending in grief which I am glad the devs manage to express that, escapism or face reality. Both are rough (Even tho I think Escapism is a bad choice).||

[raven charm]

||That fragment is misunderstood imo, it doesn't want to stop painting because of all the time doing it, but because of the family destroying verso and aline creations||

||here's a line from other fragment that supports that||

[amber sedge]

||it's both, he has gone on record talking about how fed up he is with his family tearing itself apart in a ton of the little boy conversations, but he also clearly does not like painting and was basically forced to do it as it's the family business||

[severe valley]

||Verso passion was never paint but music||

[raven charm]

||ye but we're not talking about verso, we're talking about his fragments||

[amber sedge]

||his fragment of his soul is a part of verso, him considering his creations to be just as alive as anything else does not dispute that he himself does not like to paint||

it's actually kind of ironic that ||none of the children actually seem to like to paint||

even ||clea seems to actually prefer sculpting to painting, as shown by the statues in her room||

[hollow sail]

||good news he can enjoy playing the piano for all eternity ||

[amber sedge]

||i'm actually also in favour of fucking over the family of god complex assholes that screw each other over constantly in favour of saving lumiere who actually has ppl that aren't assholes||

||screw this verso was right, maelle had to face the facts and deal with her grief in a healthy way. or maelle was right, she had no life in the real world left and is much ebtter off dying in the canvas. fuck the family, lumiere >>>> ||

[hollow sail]

||unironically this is what it boils down to for me. my initial instinct was escapism isnt right, but the game pointed out that people in the canvas are alive and sentient so fuck the outside world they're douchebags anyways||

||i am become super, ruler of vr chat||

[hollow sail]

un minuto

[amber sedge]

||that's basically my stance as well, and esquie gets to live too then and he's also way cooler than any dessendre . it is rly funny that A LOT of the ending conversation comes down to just the dessendres (maelle's grief + verso deserving rest vs maelle's escapism) and kind of has the population of the canvas as secondary, even when they do admit they're sentient and as real as anything else||

[hollow sail]

||bruh verso is basically lacari he's a scammer, fuck that guy, even though I do get he's tired as hell||

[noble rampart]

sorry for voice msg im im bed already

hope i didnt mumble too much

[hollow sail]

||which i think the game portrays really well, kudos to them for making verso a complex character||

||he also gets to fuck sciel in my game so good for you man||

[amber sedge]

||the escapism comes more from the fact that the canvas kills her as well as having extremely addictive properties, so she'd rather decide to live out the rest of her life in the canvas than to live in the "real" world. if it wasn't so addicting or wasn't literally killing her i could see it much more as just something as easy as moving to a different country||

[amber sedge]

yeah they're very well written and believable characters

[noble rampart]

thats 5 bucks for access to the podcast btw

[amber sedge]

||tbf he quite literally is a manipulative and deceptive person, and supposedly was like that in real life as well, judging by verso's axon, created by renoir "he who hides truth with lies". there's no denying that he did lie in and manipulate the people of lumiere to get his way, but that's to some extent understandable seeing the life he had led in the canvas for the last 100 years. it's still selfish but it's very understandable why he'd want to finally rest no matter the cost||

[hollow sail]

||the vr chat is tongue of cheek of course it's more than that and i wholly agree that people in Lumiere is as real as people outside at this point (star ocean 3 story beats )||

[hollow sail]

||i do think there's an escapism element in there, like the way she speaks to her dad, finding every reason not to delete the canvas, i think the game deliberately portrays her to be very attached to the world not in a healthy way||

[amber sedge]

||she's still acting very selfish though, painted verso is literally begging her to let him die, like actual literal begging, and maelle did not listen to him at all and instead allowed him to grow older because as she herself stated "i just want to live this lifetime together". because SHE wanted that to happen, regardless of what painted verso wanted, it didn't seem to matter to her at all. which makes it even more fucked up since verso sacrificed himself to save her and she repays it by forcing him to live||

[raven charm]

||he was always a backstabber, did you read julie and verso journals? It was actions done when he wasn't tired of being immortal yet, and painted renour wasn't trying to kill expeditioners||

[amber sedge]

||yeah it is understandable, but basically all of their reasoning is understandable from all the dessendres, it still doesn't make them less of an asshole when they force it upon others. whether that's verso sacrificing the canvas because he wanted to rest. renoir/clea killing expedition after expedition through the use of nevrons and the gommage, maelle wanting her perfect life no matter what, or aline just creating sentient life so her fake family felt more real||

[amber sedge]

||yup i read all the journals, he's trying to convince himself he was in the right so hard there, but it also shows how complex verso as a character is and how flawed he is, especially with the 180 he makes from his mindset as of that journal to later||

[hollow sail]

||he's manipulative but has a reason to be, which is why I appreciate his character||

[amber sedge]

||good night and yeah that's the beauty of it, what he's doing is clearly wrong but it is also understandable why he'd do it and plenty of ppl would do the same. it's actually similar in a lot of ways to the last of us with joel deciding he values ellie more than a cure that would save humanity. also objectively selfish, but plenty would do the same||

oh i guess last of us 1 spoilers?

[raven charm]

||*chance of making a cure||

[amber sedge]

||oh no that was joel's lie, ellie was from all we know the only one immune|| tlou1 spoilers

[gaunt viper]

Very intense discussion going on here

[amber sedge]

||yeah it's from the first one, after saving ellie joel told that lie to her that there were a bunch of others and that they didn't accomplish anything. the actual voice recordings you find in the game are more of how marlene feels about sacrificing ellie considering their relationship and i think a few that go over how the virus interacted with ellie's immune brain and that's why they had to effectively kill her to find out why she didn't turn|| the last of us 1 spoilers

[amber sedge]

all ending talk so be sure not to click stuff

[gaunt viper]

No it’s fine I finished the game already

[amber sedge]

oh you're good then

[gaunt viper]

I just need to 100% it now

Very good game

[amber sedge]

yeah there's some rly nice lore still to find in the last act

[gaunt viper]

[amber sedge]

all good, it's fun to talk about this game's story

[amber sedge]

||clea's kinda based, she doesn't care about any of that shit except wanting to go after the writers for murdering her brother also she had to do that while also dealing with her family completely crumbling around her||

[raven charm]

||Franfran deserved better ||

[hollow sail]

anyways act 3 side quests ||any of you guys get the 100 colour of lumina from blanche and then murder the white nevrons after? 🙈 ||

[amber sedge]

[torpid scaffold]

too lazy to retract

[hollow sail]

me2 ||but the one in the flying house/graveyard asked to be killed so i did||

[hollow sail]

should've asked trump for asylum

[amber sedge]

||i actually didn't kill him either and missed out on powerful on start easy to work around with powerful on shell and shell on start but still it was extra work ||

[hollow sail]

||that powerful on shell was why monoco was my homie shell + shield + powerful on everyone||

[amber sedge]

||monoco and esquie ||

[hollow sail]

mon ami 🤗

[amber sedge]

wheeeeeee

[hoary plover]

i pick lune cause all of them walk so aggressively

[severe valley]

Just say it was for the feet you liar

[hoary plover]

im not a gooning drooler sorry

[hollow sail]

yeah i got it, the footsteps are quite noisy

[buoyant lynx]

I dunno what the yap

But unless you agree with me you're wrong

[amber sedge]

wrong

[wide pagoda]

[severe valley]

In 5 years

[wide pagoda]

[lyric elk]

loooooool so true

[hoary plover]

I hope sandfall make this kind of game again but with more skills cause ngl i would like more skills

[smoky sedge]

expedition 32

[indigo dove]

Expedition 60

[hoary plover]

the live action would be actually hyped cause all of them literally are agile af its insane even lune do insane shit

[stoic grove]

I'm ready for expedition 69

[tawdry shard]

Ofc you are, you wanna play with Weebow

Pervert

I’m sure the next game will be Expedition 0

[buoyant lynx]

I'm sure you're retarded

[hollow sail]

For those who come after - when I have to write docs after I resigned

[indigo dove]

Putting that after you graduate

[hollow sail]

someone will have that at their speech for sure

[lethal topaz]

flop flop flop

[gloomy mirage]

what 4k pc u guys using

all these streamers saying this game looks good in 4k pissing me off

any known budget value ones

[stable spear]

I barely use 2k

[swift fiber]

1080p maxxing

[amber sedge]

4k hell nah

[dark lichen]

I played it on 4K on Epic

Looks great

Just happened to upgrade PC and monitor just before the game came out

[dark lichen]

Not budget but PG32UCDM

[gloomy mirage]

gdamn

the fken monitor costs 4x my pc

[dark lichen]

I got it for 1K

[gloomy mirage]

nvm i'll just be happy with my medium graphics 1080p

[gloomy mirage]

dam, that's 50% off no?

[dark lichen]

Idk usually sits around 1.2-1.5

Im EU tho

[buoyant lynx]

I played it on my Xbox lol

Game looked fantastic

[hoary plover]

||have you guys tried dark stain lune build?||

[brisk apex]

||No, because unlike light stains, dark stains don't count as every other color so they will fuck up your stains until you consume them per the conditions of the weapons. This is particularly bad because Elemental Genesis is her strongest non-gradient attack by a significant margin. There are two dark stain weapons, both can consume one on basic attack and the other one can consume when you have 4 for 300% more damage. Sounds tempting but it's bait||

||In the end, the weapon I used was the one that gives 5% gradient charge on crit. This effect has no cooldown, unlike every other gradient building effect||

||Your best choices are Choralim, for a burn build. Braselim for the gradient build and Kralim to cast Genesis every two turns, every turn if you have the Cheater picto||

[hoary plover]

||ive been doing the kralim one but the damage feels lacking to me ig lune damage is just ass||

[brisk apex]

||You're not going to get Verso or Maelle damage with Lune because they can get 200% more damage with rank S and virtuoso respectively.||

[hoary plover]

||plus 200 with roulette ||

[brisk apex]

||Her best damaging skill is her lvl 3, especially when you cast it stainless because then it does void damage||

[brisk apex]

I really don't like that picto but yeah, I guess

[hoary plover]

||the gradient one ?||

[hoary plover]

its kinda fun sometimes you just accidentally kill someone fast

[brisk apex]

||Yeah, Sky Break||

[hoary plover]

||yeah i saw they use dark stains for that ||

[brisk apex]

[hoary plover]

||wait i realized if youre silenced you cant hear the sound cues damn||

[hoary plover]

follow up build on verso is insane

[hoary plover]

my bad

[smoky sedge]

||is gustave playable in new game + after act 1?||

[buoyant lynx]

No it's the same story

That's why half his skill tree doesn't actually have skills

[smoky sedge]

[brisk apex]

||They should've given Gustave fake weapon passives to really throw fellas off||

[amber sedge]

act 1 spoiler ||yeah that in particular made it pretty obvious something was gonna happen||

[buoyant lynx]

I initially thought it was gonna combo with the lumina converter

[brisk apex]

||I thought he was gonna have some gigachad transformation. Some anime type shit. ||

[hollow sail]

||it's obvious in hindsight but I didn't think of it at the time ||

[amber sedge]

yeah i was basically just juggling between 2 options ||either he goes super saiyan and gets an upgrade, or he dies. the weapons lacking a passive made me think the latter, the locked skills made me think the former||

act 1 spoiler ||what i was never expecting though is that they literally just give you a substitute immediately and he steals all his gear and it's his now ||

[hollow sail]

Gustave ||I guess he kept his gear in tip top condition... For those who come after||

[amber sedge]

[buoyant lynx]

I do wish the replacement had a gun

Gustave counter where he shoots the gun was the best animation in the game

[hoary plover]

imagine a gradient gustave counter

[smoky sedge]

||do you guys have a good lvling spot after finishing the main story my characters are around lvl 65||

[brisk apex]

||Flying Manor, Endless Tower, Dark Shores||

[amber sedge]

if you alrdy do rly good dmg you can go to ||renoir's draft||

[lethal topaz]

||i just did all the side content, when i ran into high level stuff i circled back around later||

[dark lichen]

You dont need leveling or farming, just look for content that you can do ||non-red portals||. ||You'll be overleveled for most stuff anyway and itll make it less fun||

For me atleast

[lethal topaz]

Clown playing E33

this aint gonna last long

[dark lichen]

You'd have to pay to watch that shit

And even then I'd be reluctant

[torpid scaffold]

Only time i had to actually farm was to get lv 99 achievement

[lethal topaz]

how long did that take

[amber sedge]

i think i got to low 90s just from doing all the sidecontent in the game

so then for me it was only a matter of late game act 3 farm location ||farming the gestral merchant in renoir's draft|| for like 8 lvls

and that took me like idk 30-45 minutes of braindead farming

[lethal topaz]

yeah should be around there when you exhaust it all

[torpid scaffold]

Pretty fash tbh ||renoir draft mob gives 2m per fight||

[lethal topaz]

was it ever mentioned what happened to Gustave's arm btw?

like how did it get fucked

[brisk apex]

[amber sedge]

probably just some science experiment gone wrong, that sounds gustave like

[lethal topaz]

we need Gustave Arm Lore

[smoky sedge]

new game will be all about his arm

[ocean perch]

bro literally everyone played or playing this game its nice to see

it spread like virus

[buoyant lynx]

That's what happens when you make a good game

[ocean perch]

ye

friend told other friend

and it goes in chain reaction

[lethal topaz]

yeah its even nicer to watch once u played it already

good times

bozo liking it so far, he was convinced earlier he's gonna hate it

[ocean perch]

who

quin ?

its hard to hate that game during like first hour it pull u in lol

[lethal topaz]

yeah he was being a contrarian about it

[ocean perch]

and hes gonna like it more and more he play it

it can't be gustave

[raven charm]

Quin attributes allocation is making my eyes bleed

[ocean perch]

aris playing x33 lol

i wonder if he gonna flush it or not

[amber sedge]

of course he is lol

that is not an aris game

[raven charm]

Aris will flush it

dude can't pay attention to what characters say

[ocean perch]

ye he 100% flushing it lol

[smoky sedge]

||bro am I playing dark souls on crack or what this fight is crazy||

[raven charm]

just oneshot him 4head

[ocean perch]

i think he starting to like it

[zenith narwhal]

45 minutes in maelle tutorial

I don't think I know the objective is to progress in the game

[buoyant lynx]

are you playing expert

[lethal topaz]

Man even Aris liked this game

didnt expect that

[zenith narwhal]

So, flush?

[lethal topaz]

no flush

[zenith narwhal]

He still might flush it by never going back to it

[lethal topaz]

hes booting it up again tomorrow

[lethal topaz]

but yea i dont think hes finishing it

all the 3 streamers i watch are on a playthrough of e33

[zenith narwhal]

[stable spear]

damn

the word of mouth go crazy with this one

[zenith narwhal]

One reason I started playing this is so that I actually play this game myself instead of playing it vicariously through a streamer

[lethal topaz]

honestly Lune's bare feet is carrying hard

[stable spear]

did aris actually use lune to walk

[zenith narwhal]

Never ended up playing FE3H because Lacari played it

[lethal topaz]

yes

[zenith narwhal]

What diff is Avoid on

[lethal topaz]

he likes that she floats

like magento he said

[stable spear]

riiiight...

[lethal topaz]

expert

[lethal topaz]

lacari was also there and u can guess what he said

[zenith narwhal]

Avoid likes Magneto

[lethal topaz]

#be-cool message

[stable spear]

I won't lie its really because of the way-too-effortful-and-noisy running animations I I prefer the smooth sailing that lune does the feet are just an enormous bonus

[stable spear]

amazing

[lethal topaz]

yea not hearing foot steps was why i also fielded her

[stable spear]

my streamer 🥹

[buoyant lynx]

yeah i used her for meovement too for the same reason

constant grunting was fucking obnoxious

[lethal topaz]

i mean she also grunts

no?

its just the footsteps are muted

[buoyant lynx]

no

she is flying

why would she be out of breath

[stable spear]

only when you clip into the terrain and have to restart floating I think

[buoyant lynx]

she's not american

[stable spear]

or rolling during the scuffed parkour

[lethal topaz]

the noisiest one gotta be

||Monoco||

all the clanking

[brisk apex]

I mostly used Sciel.

[buoyant lynx]

i hate his running animation

[brisk apex]

I never used Lune unless it was for gestral beaches.

[buoyant lynx]

like a fucking box trying to rune

run*

[lethal topaz]

yeah he striding

[nimble sky]

I used monoco a lot cause I feel faster with his big strides

[zenith narwhal]

i really want to grind maelle on the docks but guess i should move on

[brisk apex]

Do not "grind" in the prologue.

What is wrong with you?

[zenith narwhal]

Yeah you’re right

Congratulations I beat a teenager

Here I am struggling multiple hours

[amber sedge]

i mean there's way better builds, you can just oneshot everything

[hoary plover]

penguinz0 literally just stendhal it lmao

[smoky sedge]

Is that her most busted skill or what

I should equip it

[hoary plover]

skill thats ruins everything ngl

just one shot or half life

[smoky sedge]

I mean her regular skills

I am using the other 9 cost extreme dmg skill

[smoky sedge]

Bro is playing the speedrun build

[amber sedge]

gotta put those nevrons in their place

[raven charm]

sword ballet or pyrolyse? The descriptions of both are lying to you

it's not "extreme dmg" at all

I know medium dmg skills that deal more

if you copy you can sort by highest to lowest

backseaters tried but he got taunted into not using maelle

[buoyant lynx]

now he's looking at golgras ass

[raven charm]

so just a +1 level for lune weapon

[lethal topaz]

[buoyant lynx]

0% chance he does aspirirational content anyways

[lethal topaz]

i didnt get medallum in my playthrough either

had to go back and fight olgra

[raven charm]

I didn't either

[lethal topaz]

i got some dumbass Lune weapon

[raven charm]

I think I used Gustave

[buoyant lynx]

i did too i think

"there's a level of immersion that's broken when i have to read"

yeah it's called your brain

[lethal topaz]

chet he's ragebaiting CALMY

[raven charm]

hate how chat never learns that spamming pepelaugh and clueless will just make Quin stall whatever he was going to do

[daring portal]

quin69 more like breeder 69

quin apple analogy

[buoyant lynx]

he can't even kill the esquie petank

actually trash at the game

dogshit builds

[hoary plover]

🥀

[lethal topaz]

quin cannot be this bad

this is like his 7th petank attempt

[buoyant lynx]

and using maelle

like literally impossible to fail the shit with her

[lethal topaz]

he just got the powerful tooltip

12 hours into the game

[raven charm]

he's still investing in defensive attributes

[lethal topaz]

to be fair i also did a semi even stat spread when i didnt know shit early game

[zenith narwhal]

im picking defense stat

only cleared spring meadow

(excluding optional content)

can't tell how useful each stat is

[lethal topaz]

just pick what you think is useful for now

no need to sweat it yet

[zenith narwhal]

yeah im not sweating

i don't think i'll truly know yet so

[raven charm]

all in agility

speed is almost always king in turn based games

[stable spear]

all in luck

[zenith narwhal]

its not 100% clear to me that speed affects AP

[stable spear]

in a very abstract way it does

[zenith narwhal]

i guess now that luna has a lightning spell i have something worth specing luck for

[stable spear]

one hand slower means you get more parry/dodge/getting hit opportunities to generate ap

but going faster alse lets you generate some at your own accord

[brisk apex]

Defense stat, late game, isn't that bad because it gives 18% crit when maxed. Luck gives 38%, iirc. The worst stat late game is actually vitality.

Agility and luck are the best if we're ignoring what your weapon scales with but once you get fully upgraded weps, 99 pts into scaling stats + might is how you maximize damage

[brisk apex]

It doesn't but speed is important so you don't get turn lapped by bosses

[buoyant lynx]

unless you're a parry god

then it doesn' tmatter

[zenith narwhal]

i think i have observed some turn lapping

[hoary plover]

luck later on will be pointless ngl unless your weapon scales on it

[brisk apex]

Some of ||Verso's|| best weapons don't scale with luck but you can eventually crit cap everyone even with no pts in luck or defense.

[buoyant lynx]

You can crit cap in a1 dummies just play solo

buncha noobs

Quin getting turned inside out by glaise

the evequee style attack where it travels on the ground

he hasn't parried it a single time

[lethal topaz]

Twitch mods power tripping on bozo's cchat

[torpid scaffold]

i dont watch this quin dude but you guys keep mentioning him, opened his stream only to see him die to borgueon spit x3

Which is arguably the easiest attack to parry

[ocean perch]

yo aris playing instantly

👁️

[amber sedge]

i'm still surprised he actually likes it, the only thing that would rly suit his tastes would be the parry

though i guess he's still pretty early and i still think he's gonna flush it

[lethal topaz]

he's in it for the ladies

[lethal topaz]

yeah i dont see him finishing

[ocean perch]

he likes it because this parry system reminds him fighting games lol

[ocean perch]

girls recoomended play this game to him ?

or u mean for lune

[lethal topaz]

its just part of his script

[stable spear]

someone turned off the light at crows

[lethal topaz]

[smoky sedge]

bruh almost got 70 hours

for 28 bucks

now thats content and service

[lethal topaz]

yeah these french devs are alright

[smoky sedge]

missing 8 achievements I think and im done

[tawdry shard]

@buoyant lynx do you think I’d be able to finish this game?

[stable spear]

bro i hate this ||endless tower||

its like the most laborious shit imagineable

[misty linden]

That place was fun

But damn almost 30 min for one fight

[brisk apex]

If the fights are taking that long, you should honestly go elsewhere to get lvls/upgrade materials

That's what I did
