Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Dear @blitzy,

I have heard much about this game and maximum I heard about it is from you. I have seen a few gameplay videos and a very few livestreams which give me an idea that it is a turn based fighting game, much like final fantasy. However your keen mention of the experience this game gives is not going unnoticed. There are several who resonate with your thoughts and say about the epicness of this wonder. They also say how this was made by a small developer or maybe a team, I’m not sure, and that it is nothing less than a master story scape.

Recently, I have started watching playthroughs of this game and noticed how differently people react to it across age groups, genders, … … … on how different my own life could have been had I taken a different decision at certain point in the past.

Wow, so many feeling bundled all together. Holy smokes! I would certainly like to hear an example of it. How can they be so powerful to remind you of your own real world choices. Which brings me to my next question. Can you cite an example about an incident in your life which may have had a potential fork. Imaginatively speaking, where do you think that detour could have taken you. I would like to play this imagination game and may be add to some fictional scenarios.

I have no answer to it other than it is the best game i have ever played not in terms of the game-play but the story and how the characters were pitched against each other

Oh my, how do mean when you say “how the characters were pitched against each other”? Are you referring to the powerful story and indulging direction that introduces the characters or do you mean how they eventually grow into based on your decisions? Pray tell!

i sadly cant go into much depth without spoiling the plot.

I respect that and sure think that many would not like the story spoilt. I however personally do not mind half told story as it’s quite equivalent to a blind play. But if you still insist on not sharing then no worries at all. I respect your boundaries.

how would it make you feel seeing the things you dreamed of actually happen. If my accident didn’t have happened, would i have made it into the navy like i planned, how would that life look like then.

Oh wow. I heard navy life is full of adventures and thrills. What kind of navy work were you interested in? Was it merchant navy or the battle navy? I can imagine you as an officer for sure. Bright white uniform, sharp cap, walking the take off and landing decks of a destroyer class vessel. I am not sure what position you would be in, hahaha.

i don’t really feel bad about how things are now but just a fleeting false memory that your minds make up, made me tear up unintentionally when i first saw that scene for the first time and i have seen many people break at that same scene, now i cant help but wonder, did they have the same thought as me ?

I don’t know as I have not played the game, but I may be able to feel a spec of impact that you sustained. Normally there are several games that make you emotionally connect with them with their acts. As an example when I played Ghost of Tsushima, I experienced a rush when Jin Sakai first activated Ghost Mode or when playing Final Fantasy 16, there was an epic battle against the mighty dragon and bringing it down surging the feelings of extreme achievement.
But nothing compares to what you have mentioned where an in game act makes you think your real life arches. I guess the only way to find out myself would be to play the game and live that moment.
