Incredible game, absolutely GOTY The concept of the canvas basically being a simulation, for a family to hide in and grieve and fight was an interesting concept. Who the hell are the Writers though? Is the sequel gonna be the start of some assassins creed shit, painters vs writers or something? Basically the entire ending sequence was incredible from entering the monolith right to the end. I picked Verso and fought against Maelle in the end. It seemed like such a hard decision at the time. On one hand, Maelle does indeed seem to have a particularly shitty life waiting for her outside the paining, but she isn't completely crippled and she still has a loving family and she would be able to enjoy life after getting over her grief. But she does have the right to stay in the canvas if she wants... and even if being in the canvas is somehow slowly killing her, her parents were in there for at least 67 years, and renoire seemed mostly fine so is it really such a bad thing to live an entire lifetime in the canvas? You'll die but you've lived a lifetime. On the other hand, the last remnant of versos should basically being forced to keep existing is horrible. I think that fact along with Maelle having her parents to help her move on, (particularly Renoire, he seems like such a good father and trying to help his wife and daughter move on), is basically why I thought picking Verso to fight Maelle was the right choice. After watching Maelle's ending on youtube, in hindsight it definitely wasn't as tough a decision as it seemed like in the moment, picking Verso was absolutely correct Anyway if I have one complaint for the game it's probably that the party interactions seem a bit lacking, or maybe it's that the stages seem a bit empty... Maybe I'm in the minority here, while the various stages look incredible, you're sort of just walking the path mostly in solitude, there's very little party dialogue. It makes it overall seem a bit lifeless/stiff. There should have been a bit more banter and a bit more interactions between the party IMO to show them bonding a bit more. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think they talked the right amount imo. The game is suppose to be more atmospheric and less chatty unless they're resting at the camp place. Maybe have someone like Sciel have a little more involvement with the story? She's just kind of there while the other characters were a bit more involved. --- DI MOLTO! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah you're right, out of all the characters she probably was my favorite and the archetype I tend to like the most in JRPG's in general. Probably why I enjoyed Sazh in FF13 even though that game actively annoyed me (especially it's other characters). --- DI MOLTO! ... Copied to Clipboard!

For those talking about the sequel ideas, I got the impression they were going to be treating the "Clair Obscur" branding similar to the (at least early) "Final Fantasy" branding.

One thing i massively dislike is that the side characters dont get any real closure just because they arent really real. in a potential sequel i want to see them recreated from memory in a canvas that doesnt get destroyed at the end and where theyre allowed a happy ending --- http://abload.de/img/pcgamingxtuvt.jpg http://i.imgur.com/9Yv0R2Z.jpg ...

Ignoring the cruelty of that, Aline and Maelle are both demonstrated to be addicts, and in Maelle's ending we see the painting corruption / sickness taking hold of her so its implied she will not be able leave on her own despite her compromise with Renoir.

In Versos ending, one party member survives to live a life in a scarred body without the ability to speak while her birth family continues to neglect her as they focus on the conflict with the Writers. The rest of the party doesnt even exist anymore, and you are in fact sacrificing all but that one of them and their entire world deliberately to achieve this outcome. In Maelles ending, the only ones who suffer are fake Verso (and the last piece of real Verso) and the rest of the Dissande family, and everyone else gets to live and have a chance at happiness. Neither outcome is really good, but Ill take the utilitarian route and pick the one where a handful of privileged people suffer for the sake of the many rather than literal genocide for the sake of the privileged few. I dont think you can know both outcomes and really even consider picking Verso without dehumanizing the beloved characters you spent the game with as not real or otherwise not considering them sentient beings. Hell, the Dissandes are all real, but theyre all at least in part toxic assholes to Alicia, who Versos ending condemns to a life with them. --- https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/profiles/76561198052113750 ...
