games

Playing this game has been eye opening for me. Is this what people normal people feel like when they play Shin Megami Tensei or Yakuza or something?

Because all the French stuff is everywhere and everyone keeps saying little French phrases I have to look up. And the player is just expected to understand and roll with it. Now I kinda get when a normal person is like "what the fuck is a senpai" or "what's a golden week." Stuff I always took for granted because I'm a weird obsessive about Japan. But I know jack shit about France except they eat snails and frogs and their president married a pedophile

The game fucking rules though

The game lets you beat up mimes that give you cosmetics that are over the top French, including a baguette that attaches to your back. The devs get how French they are it’s fun

I dunno. France is terrible but the French are always a little based. They just need to overthrow their government or whatever. Like, tell me a courcican guy day drinking wine at a cafe isn't better than any capitalist bullshit the anglosphere invented.

You rember those pictures of French firemen using firebending on cops?

Honestly I'm enjoying it. Between the music and the story I can put up with the bullshit dark souls esque dodge-parry mechanic.

I think we really need more games similar to this from around the world. I want to culturally osmosis swear words from every country on earth. A different swear word for every occasion!

It is very French. I am also a firm believer of if you don't jive with "the new hot thing" you shouldn't force it on yourself. However, and this may be my ignorance to French story telling (they fell of after Chrétien de Troyes), but I cannot think of another story like it that deals with the themes it does.

That's about all I can say, and I am sorry for word salad, coffee still kicking in

Yeah, it is overwhelmingly French. On the other hand, battling with mimes just feels like the right way to handle things.

After putting down so many JRPGs because they had too much of the J, an FRPG sounds nice. If only I could find a physical copy that wasn't from a scalper.

I've gotten into so many stupid arguments with people about the newer (especially) Final Fantasy games being JRPGs over the years. XVI was agonizing, I couldn't play more than an hour of XIII, and the only newer one I've been able to tolerate is XII. It sucks, because I loved VI and IX.

I think it is novel because of how French it is if nothing else. No other culture could have created this game.

Esquie might be the most French character ever created.

The mime fights are hard as fuck. I skipped them. No baguette for me.

It's so weird seeing a game that plays like Persona but has the graphical fidelity of a modern game.

The world and dialogue feel like Assassin's Creed, then you go into turn based fights with parrying. It's jarring to see.

But you can tell it has come from developers stuck in the Ubisoft mines finally making the sort of game they want to play after all those years churning out map based slop

Does this game have a good soundtrack?
