Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (April 24, 2025)

Any character customization?

In terms of making your own character from scratch? No. But you can do a little bit of customization with skills (you have skill tree but you can pick and choose loadouts of 6 skills), pictos (accessories that give different abilities) and you can unlock costumes (mix and match outfit and hair combinations).

Found maelle and fought the flower boss. Game is dope so far. Story is interesting, too

If the percentage indicator on ps5 is accurate this game is pretty short especially by RPG standards. That’s not a negative….just surprised.
I’m still impressed how the story is so consistently engaging and the progress paced so perfectly.

Finally got to act 3. Now I see how y'all were getting absurd damage thought I was building my characters wrong

I think if I wrapped it as soon as possible after getting to act 3 would have been 25-30 hours. I was at like 45 doing all the optional shyt I wanted to.

enjoyed damn near every moment

Sometimes, I get to a point in an RPG where I just wrap that shyt up. I'm going back to earlier levels to see what I could have missed. The journals makes me want to become a completionist alone. I've spent a few hours just grinding brehs.

This is Resident Evil 4 god tier level pacing. To say they cooked is an understatement.

I lowkey thought I had fukked up my build when nikkas were talking about getting millions of damage done to enemies. Luckily they were just capped, by Act 3 Maelle is a god. The feeling of one shotting bosses is undefeated.

I dunno, I'm at around 40 hours and at the end of Act 2. And I don't feel like I've been f*cking around, besides exploring. But there's a lot of optional stuff so I can't even say it's f*cking around really.

This seems to be about as long as a 90's RPG.

He smacked the shyt out of my squad yesterday. I need to level up and then I got him.

 

[Brief Keef]

When I play these games, I typically level them equally because I never know what loops the game will throw us through like splitting the team or someone becomes th ops. So, therefore I have to grind typically.

Thats why idk why they went with 5 characters instead of 6...if the first squad wipes its weird with only 2 party members left...

I wonder if Gustaves death was a late add. Than again the fact that both use swords maybe not. If Verso used a different weapon I think Gustave might initially not have been suppose to die. It is def weird that when your initial 3 gets wiped out they due the whole expedition has been wiped screen and than only 2 people come out. That and Simons mechanic tells me maybe it should of been 6 playable.

I think it was because Charlie cox schedule conflicts with daredevil (Born again had to be completely re-done after the season was finished) they had to write him out the story early and replace him with Ben starr, its not just that it was sudden its the way gustaves story really ties into the 2nd half of the game and ending that feels like it wasn’t the first draft of the script

only thing is…i wish they toned down on the fog effects a bit.

They built such a beautiful world, then covered it all up with an endless fog
