Expedition 33 Is An Actual Masterpiece???

Expedition 33 is an actual masterpiece???

Genuinely only found out about it because of Ben Starr, but wow, my jrpg roots are so happy right now. My Legend of Dragoon obsessed self finally getting a turn-based rpg with timed attacks, this fighting system is like the upgraded version of that? So satisfying (except parry, I'm so bad at parry omg 😭)

Right from the beginning I'm so emotionally affected by all these characters, that melancholy and optimism and just humanity, it hurts so good, y'all really wanted me crying in the first 20 minutes. The actors are doing amazing. And I don't even have to talk about how beautiful a game it is, the art speaks for itself, I keep walking around in the environments just admiring the scenery. The music is so haunting and gorgeous, it's like a whole feast.

Agggh, I'm so pleased. Cannot wait to continue the story and find out what is really going on cause I keep coming up with crackpot FF type theories about gods and a struggle for control of the world (actually I was theorizing the Paintress has a mind parasite or someone forcing her to do it, but I'm literally pulling it out of thin air cause I'm not far into the game at all so I have 0 clues). Lune is my girl, please don't kill off my nerd.

Also, the Curator is literally my sleep paralysis demon, I cannot look at it 😭😭
