Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

What I can't believe is that this game is now being considered one of the all time great RPGs.

This game is no where close to games like Skyrim, Cyberpunk, Dragon Age Origins - hell even Chrono Trigger (yes, I'm not crazy referencing CT).

To be fair they said that about last of us too and that game is retarded.

Chrono Trigger is mid. I said it.

I never got that. But I played it far too late I think.

I played it so young, I got stuck I think sorta near the end, after you I think beat the giant big bad meteor boss or whatever but Chrono gets crunched then your stuck kinda exploring around open world, couldn't figure out where to continue from there, ran around everywhere, BC, 1999, etc couldn't figure it out. (And before I had internet basically)

I just felt the story was a bit disjointed compared to FF6

CT was stuck between fun adventure and serious bzns bro in its feel and presentation imo- and a remake sure, a FF7 style remake, no!

yeah. "Mid" is too much. its a great game. but it is a bit overrated. its no FF3/6.

The many endings was great. but then does also hurt it in terms of story. it ends up more silly then dramatic.

ff3/6 was a masterpiece. music. characters. world building/ambiance.

mode 7 opening credits.


the opera.

Chronotrigger was all over the place. it has its moments, sure. but its not just the wall to wall excellence of ff3/6.
Even when ff3 breaks apart into the Scenarios which build a ton of characterization. Swaps main character. etc. incredible.

Lavas awaking is pretty cool. but its not as devastating as FF3/6 when Kefka destroys the world and you have to LIVE in it. Celes contemplating suicide.

Chrono's main char swap is ok. the other characters are a bit too cartoonish to have it hit the same. but, I mean, that too is pretty legendary, and remembered.
