why did it fail where E33 succeeded?

I stopped when they forced me into Funeral Minigame Fetch Quest + QTE.

Xbox only, a console where the player base only cared about halo and CoD at the time.
Now all they care about is CoD, fortnite, and roblox

360 exclusive

Normalfags didn't play a whole lot of videogames yet.

The main antagonist is the worst character ever seen in the history of JRPGs: flat, stereotypical, one-dimensional, cringe-inducing, and utterly devoid of charisma

The only things I remember about this game was some story he told a shoe repairman about giving medicine to an orphan, and that one of the characters had veins on her tits which I liked a lot.

E33 didn't succeed anywhere. It's a realtranny shovelware corridor simulator for the lowest common denominator.

Everyone had a 360 back then, it simply won the first half of the gen

how good does it emulate?

>>716262339
IMO.. Worst characters was miss veiny boobs, best characters? Sarah and Seth :3' even Jensen had redeeming moments

Prisoner in a shitty console. I still can't understand WHY at least doing a shitty remaster like the last remnant.

Lost odyssey is a liked game. Even by /v/ standards. It was the last kiss goodbye to multi disc jrpgs. That shit hit like a crack pipe back in the day of the 360 it was very nostalgic to the final fantasy fags.

not in japan, where the game would've benefitted from being a JRPG the most

There's no such thing as JRPG tropes

Dude the soundtrack to this game is fucking nuts.

All the outfit designs are such supreme dogshit in Lost Odyssey it's insane, only semi-decent one is the chick with visible veins in her tits

>>716258817 (OP)
combat is way too fucking slow
great game tho

>>716263807
>kill god
the only series that let's you fight what we call god is smt, and fighting religious and mythological opponents is kind of the selling point of the series and hardly a trope of the genre
but even if you want to expand this to what the fictional universe itself considers to be it's equivalent to our god, it's still extremely rare to find this
if you want to further expand it and just call it "a very powerful being" then duh, it's kind of the point of a video game with boss fights to fight a powerful boss especially at the end of the game, this is hardly a jrpg trope and more of an obvious video game trope

>highschooler
hardly a trope considering only a small minority of jrpgs do this. Persona being this highschooler fantasy is more of it's unique style rather than a norm of the genre
if you mean young characters in general then sure, but again it's hardly a jrpg trope, Japan in general just prefers younger characters in their media regardless of genre

"young characters go on quests and fight powerful beings" is pretty much what you actually tried to say, but it's such a general, vague thing, calling this a trope is nonsensical

Loved the White Rabbit trailer for this game. I still think about occasionally. Also "17 years ago" T__T

no one had 360 beside amerikans)))

>>716258817 (OP)
it released at a time when JRPGs were extremely out of fashion in the west--even games that were well received in japan were being panned by western reviewers (see: last remnant, resonance of fate, eternal sonata, infinite undiscovery, enchanted arms....)
since 360 had essentially zero domestic japanese market, a lot of the cool 360 exclusive RPGs microsoft invested in never really found an audience

no it isnt

JRPG that was xbox exclusive. Literal death sentence.

>no cringe JRPG tropes
They literally had Jansen as a character who played the role of perverted old man. Sit the fuck down.

>>716262437
I have never owned an xbox lmao, why even bother when it was just brownslop shooters and unlocalized jap games?

>>716258817 (OP)
There were superior weeb jrpgs like Blue Dragon and Eternal Sonotta on the 360 so nobody played this realismslop. Expedition 33 is only successful because the big jrpg companies are retarded and refuse to release normal jrpgs, not because it's serious in tone. The jrpg fan is starving and has to eat slop to survive right now.

>>716258817 (OP)
>why did it fail where E33 succeeded?
One had viral marketing while other didn't.
MS/Square should have done some retarded shit like EA did back in the day with the whole EA-anti-christ or dinosaur raid on /v/ for battlefield.

Dude bro era hated jrpgs

>>716267120
E33 isn't even entirely serious, it has way more silly french bullshit than something like FFXVI

>>716259451
why is there veins on her boobs

>>716267120
>The jrpg fan is starving and has to eat slop

Nothing has changed then.

>>716265456
Yep, I think a lot of people here forget that overtly Japanese games, especially the more colourful and eccentric ones, were extremely unfashionable from around 2007-14 or so

Not helped by people in the gaming media like Arthur Gies who legitimately hated them

>>716264352
Jensen and Seth look fine and I'd say Sed does if not for his subway sandwich storage pockets

>>716265053
360 sold almost double the amount of ps3s in the UK.

>>716263807
that's just persona

>>716258817 (OP)
Load times were atrocious on the 360. It got a lot better when they released the feature to install games to the HDD but that was years later.

some of Uematsu's best work, shame the game is still a 360 exclusive.

the collection of narrated short stories were worth the price of the game on their own

>Best story bits were from the memories, and those were just texts.
>Battle system was not that great. The real time elements kind of made the battles drag on later than needed.
>Bad art style. Some acceptable designs but a lot of misses. Watch the opening CG trailer and tell me those soldier designs aren't retarded.
Even in the midst of the dude bro Xbox era, it wasn't regarded as anything special.

Stuck on an FPS machine, bad character designs, that on early boss that filtered players including /v/ and an unremarkable antagonist. The 1000 years of dreams were the best parts of the game and should have been the heart and soul of the story.
