Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (April 24, 2025)

Yeah, Monoco is actually the best character of this archtype that I’ve ever played and I don’t usually like these style of characters due to their character design n such.

It helps alleviate the heavy atmosphere, especially when you don't have a character making quips every five minutes. Monoco is great because he's there purely for the love of the sport. Everyone else has a timer, which allows for him to be the way he is. The stakes are never gonna be that high for him since he's a gestral.

Similarly, that's why I liked Byron Rosfield in FFXVI. He's refreshing in a game where everything is pretty serious, and he doesn't overstay his welcome.

GOTY. The only thing I didn't like was the gradient/limit-break system. It was too difficult to get the gauge up, the fights where you needed it you couldn't charge it because you would get one-shot, then the fights you could get the gauge charged, you didn't need it.

There's pictos that help with that.

Didn't seem worth it IMO. I made a broken Verso glass cannon build. Beat everything in one turn.

there's pictos that give you gradient for countering, basic attacks, using items, etc.

by late game you can act 4 times each getting gradient for not even touching AP. honestly this game got some of the best build diversity i've ever seen in a rpg

Spoiler

Pops won’t wrong, but he went about it wrong way but at the same time the mom paintress was using the sons death as an excuse, so she would have just kept making excuses to stay around, so he had to cut the cord

I unlocked Sciel. I looked at her skill tree and though, "I'm probably gonna fukk this up." I get into battle and first thing I thought was, "I think I fukked up."

Looks like she covers damn near everything. What skills are ya'll using?

Her Harvest skills makes her a dope healer for herself and the group while doing damage at the same time.

Her Dark skills hit really hard too. Just start every other turn with Fortune Foretell and use the scythe that gets you 10 Sun Foretell with each draw.

It’s a testament to how great the combat system is seeing people post wildly different but very viable builds with each character.

Sciel is my favorite character in battle right now and i use her nothing like this

Spoiler

Gustav woulda committed that and the expedition failed day one without her by the book attitude

I like her little pouty attitude

Spoiler: Don’t read until deep into Act 2

woulda hoped verso romanced her instead of sciel who i think is boring

You can if you wait until the last act.

I'm seeing this game compared to Lost Odyssey. I guess that makes sense. I turned off Lost Odyssey after they forced some annoying children into the party and never touched it again.

This wasn't a bad game at all but I found myself mostly playing it to see what the big mystery was about. Once I got to those reveals I totally lost interest in playing this and if I'm being honest I'll probably never play it again either.

I hope this studio's next game goes in a completely different direction and isn't a sequel to this.

Why would you stop right near the end?

10 hours in…game is excellent

 

[Deafheaven]

Why would you stop right near the end?

Because hes a contrarian
