Beat the game....I'm not sure I did the right thing

I don't agree with what Verso did but I also can't judge him.

Not only did he not ask to be created, he was trapped against his will for decades. Effectively immortal, so unless something drastically changed (like the events in this game) he'd be forced to live a life he never wanted, forever.

I do think Maelle should've been a lot more angry with the truth answer he gave about Gustave, though.

As far as Maelle, regardless of how you feel about Verso....his ending is objectively the right choice. If the canvas continues to exist, there's nothing to indicate Maelle would have the willpower to leave on her own. Yes Lumiere and all the characters are awesome....but they don't really exist. Alicia's life in the "real world" sucks and her family is dysfunctional as hell but the only way they can begin to heal is outside of the canvas.

They don't spell out which ending is best but the Maelle ending is dark as f*ck and clearly not leading into anything good.

About 25% through.

Does my breh Gustsav get to pound Lune at any point?

Thinking about picking this up on PS5...worth it?

Been looking to get into another RPG since Metaphor.

I was when I beat her in the first round then she came back in 2nd form. I should have known better when it came to the boss fight.

Same, those series of fights had me with the

Won't lie, def didn't see Gustav dying coming, I was attached to him and was hoping to be able to complete the expedition for Sophie's

THe cool thing though is that Verso is also quite the compelling character even though he's a lot more broody than Gustav. Him slowly opening up to Maelle and Lune, his banter with Monoco, his wholesome relationship with Esquie and clapping Sciel's cheeks really made him grow on me

Paintress we coming for you nikka!

Spoiler: So about the paintress....

After reading Alicia's letter and seeing everyone around me get gommaged I was like

She was actually protecting us the whole time

Just finished on Game Pass. Visuals, soundtrack, story the game is incredible and an absolute masterpiece. One of the best RPGs I’ve ever played.

Spoiler

Just beat the game Sided with Verso, Maelle is def getting addicted to being in the canvas and moreover she needs to get past Verso's death

Wont lie though seeing the gang get gommaged hit me When Verso hugged Esquie and Monaco and Lune staring daggers into Verso before she got vaporised...the everyone waving goodbye to Maelle at Verso's funeral made me tear up.

This game is def my game of the year, been a while since a game has moved me like this. everything from the visuals to the story and the combat is just stellar.

30 nikkas made this???

Started NG+ already because I want to platinum the game and I'm still not tired of the battle system.

I appreciate them scaling enemies health and damage up even being level 95. Pictos and weapons leveling up when found in the same places is a very nice touch too.

Playing with different costumes and hairstyles now. Sciel with Artist is but Lune with that Wavy hair got me over here like

Just finished. There’s only one true ending. You either want to face reality or live in a fantasy. This game is definitely in my top games of all time.
