I think classic JRPG would be the term to use and it now transcends it's accuracy. It's like brand names taking over the name of a particular product or crisps being called chips in America. It's a construction to represent turn based games with certain elements like as with this the over world map and what not.

By the looks of things this game will be a future cult classic. Big streamers liek Moist Critical is playing it right now. Hopefully that will give it a boost in sales. I'll probably pick it up after I finish FF7R.
They're def in the green or are very vlose to it not vounting game pass money.

It is very competent and natural with a controller but I can't see why it would loose anything on PC. The hair is a bit off on console and slight ailising so of you have a rig that can up that go for it but tbh it's a game that's perfect in quality mode and graphics and performance are great, smoothest 30 fps next to Alan Wake 2, better perhaps cause this mobe faster. I'd stay with PS5 even if I had a PC that could do better visuals as there is no need at all for high frames. I'd sat save the money, hook your PC up to your TV for this one and get an app to use duelsense on on PC and you get the best of all worlds...apart from the Platinum which looks really fun. |
This is what I do.... my pc is hooked up to the TV as well, and use the Dualsense there as well.
*edit:
FOMO got me.... just bought on steam, and installing atm.
(too tempting, a jrpg like ff game, from a french studio.... I had to)
| Hiku said: People using the term Jrpg made me understand what they were referring to without them having to mention specific games. In that sense, how classic Jrpg's started out wouldn't be a factor to someone who mainly associates them with turn based, and may not even be aware of action based titles like Dragon Slayer that predate Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Phantasy Star, etc, that popularized the genre and coined the phrase in the west. A Japanese developer can make a western style rpg, while a western developer can make a Japanese style one. But since ideas are more and more commonly borrowed between east and western style games, we often get games with elements from both. And Expedition 33 is no exception. Expedition 33's producer said that the director "wanted to have the kind of feeling that he imagined would have remained in modern Final Fantasy-like games, if they had kept doing turn-based stuff. But he also mixed lots of different inspirations. Final Fantasy and JRPGs are definitely the preeminent gameplay heritage we have. The defense system is more inspired by Sekiro and From Software games." |
Yeah , its not a jRPG but a RPG that is turn based and influenced by jRPGs that is made by a group of French developers.
Anyways @OT - I saw some gameplay footage but the game's animations and movement dont look as good as most games but I'm assuming considering the fact supposedly this is a small group of devs that came from Ubisoft, its not surprising.
I'll get it sometime down the line , possibly next year on Steam for sure.
This is gonna cause significant pain to be away from.
It's a breath of fresh air in what's felt like a stagnant genre to me for the last few years. Outstanding achievement from such a small development team and it deserves all the praise.
Rather than a breath of fresh air, it feels very much like a PS2 era JRPG made with modern technology and some innovative mechanics thrown in. You can tell they have a true appreciation for that genre and era, but also didn't want to just make a lazy 'homage' without adding some unique flair. Even though the gameplay feels very rooted in JRPG, the storytelling and themes are distinctly french.
I alluded to this before, but just in case someone doesn't understand the 'Lune' reference-- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clair_de_lune_(poem)
Even if you're not familiar with the poem you've definitely heard the piano piece by Debussy:

Literally all I've ever watched with modern FFs but noooo they had to make it button mashy.
Hmm, pie.
