Would love to hear others initial impressions. This is a discussion thread but a non spoiler one so feel free to talk about story but not openly, please keep all story talk within spoilers tags which is doable in rich text replies, even overviews and stuff known from previews or early in the game for people who want to go in blind.

I'm just into Act 2 right now.  It is definitely a GOTY contender for me.  The only other game that I am anticipating this year is Metroid Prime 4, so we'll see.  But Clair Obscur is easily the best Final Fantasy game in over 20 years.  That story.  That combat.  And that music! *chef's kiss*

And yes, it's a JRPG.  So is Sea of Stars.  So is Cosmic Star Heroine. JRPG is a style.

Give it more time. Game just keeps getting better, it didn't peak for me until I reached close to the 30 hour mark. It's peaked at my game of the generation, it's only competition is Elden Ring and... God damn, it's more pure unfiltered fun that that game plus it has an Oscar worthy fresh and unique story as well.
