Why would it? One's a turned based RPG and the other is a action RPG |
Cause both are party focused JRPG's with fantasy elements and after the characters and the authenticity of Clair Obscur you will see the many flaws in Rebirths story (and they are already hard to ignore) and the melodrama and beats it trys to hit won't feel the same. They really elevate things to an extremely high degree in E33, well above what we typically see in games story telling as a whole, writing and hitting what they set out to do without some cringe typical of JRPGs and if you were to play Rebirth after, you'd be rolling your eyes so much you'd see back in time. There are some really cringey bits in Rebirth, some characters with motivations that people will tell you you have to wait for part 3 for it all to make sense and some nits where they try to hit you emotionally but have already lost emotional investment cause of convoluted story telling and hammering in the same themes til you disconnect from it, plus it's a slog snf it'll likely take weeks woth a break or two needed inbetween but regardless of what people will tell you and everything will have a pay off, part 3 isn't here yet and you're left with what they give you.
To say Expedition 33 elevates JRPG story telling and everything along side that, localization from french, VA and all, is an understatement. Cloud, Tina, Aerith and Barret feel like cartoon characters in comparison even though they very much attempt at maturity in Rebirth more so than remake, they don't go all campy like at the end of Remake with the bike and all that and instead they can't land what they are going for.
...don't shoot me.
