Finally decided to play this and WHAT THE FUCK were they thinking?!
It was genuinely a 10/10 game until the end of act 1 and then it became a 2/10 slopfest. How could they fuck up in the writing room this badly? Did these fuckwits not see how despised Joels death in TLOU2 was? I want a refund. FUCK THESE CUNTS! BRING BACK GUSTAV!

It is pretty shit. I don't have a problem with killing the ostensible MC for shock value, lots of games have done that. What infuriates me about the game is the lack of direction. You had a reasonably interesting set-up - a team of people sent to kill God get wiped out early but the survivors regroup and begin a slow journey to explore and level up so they stand a chance. Verso is so OBVIOUSLY sus that once he's heading the party, you don't know what "you" are doing in the game any more apart from waiting to find out what the mystery bait has been leading to.

I don't have literal webms of my playthrough since I'm not a fucking streamer.

Gustave is literally Maelle's painting of her brother/father. She is actually a paintress before act 3, just subconsciously.

In other words, gustave never really dies.

story definitely was worse off with gustave leaving. the verso swerve was cool cause you find out that theres more to the world than lumiere and it was actually lumiere and all its citizens that are unnatural to the painting. then act 3 happened and didnt really know what all the twists are actually for so we end on an even bigger twist so that the audience and clap their hands and feet together at the deep commentary. its a good game. the story's delivery is better than its structure and thats what carries it.

Gameplay is absolutely addictive but yeah, the story and characters are pretty bad, honestly.
Gustave's death had no emotional impact, and the whole plot should have focused more on the existential aspect of the paintings instead of the dumb family drama bullshit.
Overall just a huge miss.
The game is carried by its fun gameplay and phenomenal presentation.

It would have worked a lot better if Verso showed up well before Gustave left, that way there could have been more character building and then a true "passing of the torch" moment between them.

Around act 3 you just spend most of your time watching foes dancing in front of your characters, waiting hours for their endless 5-6 hits turn, also they're enraged so double turn.
I'd watch a movie if I wanted to be a spectator.

I don't know if it counts as interesting, but as soon as I saw all of the "plus 100% crit rate when last one standing", "plus 20 billion damage when last one standing" etc talents I tried stacking them all and bringing only one character to the fight. Exactly as expected, it trivialised the entire game.
I used free aim shots as my only attack for most of it, anything else was just a waste of AP since damage was capped at 9999. You don't even need to parry with this "playstyle" outside of one or two bosses just before the damage uncap, all the enemies die before getting a turn.

You didn't like Verso? He's the coolest character in the game. He romances and fucks Lune and Sciel despite betraying and killing them and everything they love multiple times. Also Maelle thinks he's super cool when he was honest about how he engineered Gustave's dead (pussy). He's so cool and also looks just like (an idealized, heavily photoshopped, taller) the director of the game! How could you like Gustfag lmao imagine thinking anybody gives a shit about Lumière it's all about Verso baby and the characters added in the last 10 hours of the game (Bea has less than 2 minutes of dialogue btw).

Yes? He gets mentioned once in the wooden tower level and no one even responds. Maelle was smiling eye to eye when she heard Verso admit he had him killed. The mourn him for 5 minutes in Act II and the it becomes Expedition Verso.

You out the shield pictos that lowers health on your guys. You use Sciel with all the super boosts and speed boosts available. You put your other 2 guys on every damage buff available. You proceed to one-shot the entirety of Act 3 on 110 lumina per character. This took you all of 10 minutes to setup. The game is no longer fun. You actively nerf your damage, only to find out now you take 100 turns to kill fodder. You trudge through the side content anyway. You 2 shot Simon with Verso first and then solo Stendhal Maelle. You leave and uninstall the game and never play it again.

Yeah I couldn't believe my ears when Verso went full retard at the end and said "Fuck you I'm getting no development as a character, we all die NOW"
Young verso seems so nice when you talk to him throughout the game and really seem to care about the whole world, it makes no sense he wants to be erased at the end. Yeah he's saddened by the fact his family is all torn, but he wishes they would fuck off.

There's an entire plot point in Act 2 where the crew wants to split with Verso because holding a funeral is more important than progressing. Verso earns their trust by showing them where he buried his own expedition. Maelle does what she does at Reacher because of Gustav, and in particular because of her conversation with Verso in Act 3 about Gustav.

I don't think there's much that's actually useful aside from just giving additional bonus stat upgrades to your pictos or buying an upgraded version of something you might have missed, but if you're not grinding anyway then just buy it all up using the cheat.

I noticed that too. The game's "story mode" is on par with any other game's normal mode - it is not an "easy mode" at all. I always start a new game in easy/story to get a quick feel of the mechanics and see if I am going to like it before restarting on hard mode. Saves me from getting too time invested only to find out it's going something I am going to stick with. But, this game? There is very little to no difference in the difficulty level. So, my suspicion is that it is either...
>The devs don't know what they're doing in making different difficulty settings.
>They did it on purpose to troll game games jours (like you asked).
>They want to project a false sense of difficulty "See the game is really hard, look how tough the story mode even is."
I don't know. I beat the game three times now, did both Maelle and Verso endings and then went back to collect all 33 journals for the extra "ending."
But, for bad players who NEED the easy mode - you're in for a hard time.

>Young verso seems so nice when you talk to him throughout the game and really seem to care about the whole world, it makes no sense he wants to be erased at the end.
I feel that a lot of people seem to miss that the bigger picture of the story talks all about growing up and accepting that things have to end, and how children must in turn be free. Young Verso doesn't know that he's dead but he gets closer to death the more the canvas is torn apart by everything that shouldn't be there, old Verso struggles to reconcile his nature as a painted person with his wish to save Aline and it's only at the end that the two are able to finally understand being at peace.

I'll admit what this game did very well was capture "in the moment" aspects of the game. Anyone with any critical thinking skills, however, will realize upon finishing the game and sitting on it for a week that ultimately this game offered nothing satisfying in terms of a conclusion or what you accomplished in said game.
Meanwhile I'm on my second runthrough of Rebirth and I'm still having fun with the combination of characters and ways they interact and weave in combat together.

Except Verso decides for everybody else, and the monstruous gods get to grieve while everyone is dead.
It's not just about Aline and Verso at this point, because those gods created more life inside the painting, which young Verso states as "equal to the outside".
It's like asking your child to die so you can finally mourn their sibling, it's monstruous yet Verso clings to Aline like a little boy instead of telling her to fuck off and erase him for good and let the painting rest.

Yes, and said FICTIONAL people wouldn't exist if Alicia didn't betray her family and went to the Writers. I'm almost positive that Verso happened to spark this by wanting to play the piano and that's why I brought up how growing up fits into the overall narrative: Lumiere will never be happy because it's the dark reflection of the Dessendres in the worst days of their lives, and the light can only return when they bid goodbye to Verso for good. I also speculated earlier that Expedition 33 might actually be Alicia's account of the story she experienced when she almost died inside the canvas and that's the real reason why Verso's ending looks so bright and hopeful: Because she really did turn out alright in the end.

Sure there were some retarded reactionaries who just hated the fact that Joel died, but most people had problems with how it was executed and how the story was completely retarded.
Gustave's death was handled perfectly, so you should have no problem with it.

Fuck off, all the characters in Lumière are alive and are trying to fight their destiny and Verso is just like "nope" :^) because he cannot accept his own existence. He's that pathetic. He has no drive nor real will, yet he thinks everybody is like him.

And I just don't want to follow the story of a character I hate. You obviously know the whole time he's hiding something, but you assume what he is hiding is reasonable. Turns out it isn't reasonable and also he sat back and watched Gustave get murdered. It makes no sense how Maelle just accepts this and grows in relationship with with Verso. I feel that should have been a spliting point in the party. Sciel and Lune should have also have a say in what Verso did to Gustave.

You retards keep trying to push this argument to justify not understanding the story, even though the Greek god comparison makes no fucking sense because most Greek gods had no part in creating the world nor is there a soul fragment powering it.
>Fuck off, all the characters in Lumière are alive
They're not because actual living beings can function independently of a power source. You can kill a real being but you cannot unmake or repaint them as you wish.
>Verso is just like "nope" :^) because he cannot accept his own existence
Of course he can't because he's aware that everyone is suffering and they'll never stop suffering as long as he's alive. What kind of stupid reply is this? You ARE aware that Lumiere was made for him, right?

Oh yeah ? Try living without eating you fucking retard. Also the specifics of creation of the Lumière people inside the painting are unclear, there were generations of people in Lumière, and the Gestrals can reincarnate fine so the argument is moot.
>Of course he can't because he's aware that everyone is suffering and they'll never stop suffering as long as he's alive.
And I don't give a shit. Lumière can exist without him. Proof is that Lumière survived the whole time without him. He can ask Maelle or ask Aline to erase him in an emotional greek plea, but noooo he had to chimp out

I didnt really hate Verso on a personal level but it was fucking annoying watching him and Renoir have a bunch of vague conversations that you know are just meant to only make sense later on. Sure I could make my theories about what it meant but it's all headcanon at that point and I just felt disengaged with the dialogue. There is already enough mystery with the paintress and who Verso really is to keep me intrigued as it is.

Everyone in Maelle’s party conveniently has traits from her real family..

Sciel (motherly) -> Aline

The game also builds up the fight vs Renoir and then you realize the Renoir you hated was just another fake shit, leading to a fight that really doesnt feel like the end of anything, you just beat another Paintress/Aline painting

I dont know man, i prefered Gustav quest to avenge SophiE
OH YEAH, REMEMBER SOPHIE? THE THING THE GAME MAKES A BIG DEAL AT THE BEGINNING
NO PAYOFF AT ALL LATER

sciel apparently doesnt hide anything and so doesnt have the mask and for lune best explanation (which isnt saying much) ive seen is that shes with the most wonder and curiosity for the world and thats why axon likes her or some shit

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love Maelle and her ending, better to live a happy life within the canvas than a shitty one in not-Paris.
My favorite part of the ending is when Verso has to play the piano for the rest of eternity and all the characters laugh at him.

Yeah, the "story mode" in this game is mislabeled. Either intentionally or unintentionally. It's actually more like a normal mode, if not a bit tougher actually.
For most people "story mode" aka easy mode is what they expect when they just want to chill through the game and enjoy the story without having to sweat and farm for hours to get to level.
I actually use easy mode now and them. I play a lot of souls-like and nioh-like games. I don't want every game I play to be a sweatfest of difficulty, sometime I just want to breeze through and enjoy a relaxed time.
This game lies to you when it uses the label "story mode." It is not.

Sorry, but Verso is way more likeable. And he doesn't have an ugly as fuck unibrow.

Maelle gommages into gold petals because gold is Alicia's color.

Verso gommages into white petals because white is Aline's color.

Everyone else gommages into red petals because red is Verso & Renoir's color.

Did you like, not give your party any speed pictos or something? Hell, there are even pictos that give you the first turn automatically and you can one-shot just about anything besides chromatics, or at least kill something before it even has a chance to take its turn and cutting down on the number of enemies that even get to attack in a fight. Sounds to me like you can't build your party for shit.

It does both. I'm not sure you were paying attention.

Sciel has nothing to hide and Lune is the most rational and least likely to be influenced by emotions, but yeah it could have been handled better

Like others have said, Sciel cannot be hurt by the mask, because she does not put a filter between her inner self and what she presents to others.

As for Sirene, she used different kinds of hypnosis on the party. The first one at the beginning affected everyone except Monoco, the second one before the fight affected everyone but Verso, we can assume the type of hypnosis she used last was less effective on Lune.

not him but I just figured it was because that axon played with emotions and lune mentions how she uses her emotions to push on; so that was her basically burning through the emotional manipulation and still focusing on her goal.
