Reddit game.

Pajeet game.

Tranny game.

The game.

>looks exactly like maelle
>oh gee I wonder who maelle could possibly be

why am I supposed to be emotionally invested in a story about kids playing in a make believe world again?

what is the main twist? that the real verso was still alive within the panting?

All those are correct

>>717523548
Because that is the human condition

>>717523574
That they're all paintings in a canvas. I wouldn't say it's even true that they "are not" though because the game makes it very clear that they're sentient.

>>717523864
It's true from Alicia's POV because she knows she was only painted to be punished

>>717523098 (OP)
Playing the game in NG+ is a whole another experience.
The first time, half the things anyone from the Dessandre family is saying makes no sense until the third act.
When replaying it, everything does make sense and you realize that they weren't just speaking gobbledygook for the sake of sounding cool. I liked that.

>>717523548
Judging by how much of the story you know you were at least engaged enough to significantly progress through the game or do independent research so...

is that Alicia a clone like verso?

>>717523982
You also realize Painted Renoir is right about literally everything and Painted Alicia is a sweet innocent cinammonbun and far better than Real Alicia

>>717524084
I completed the game and it has some of the worst writing in an jrpg I've ever seen

>>717523098 (OP)
>people defend her actions
>her final skill is Stendhal
>Stendhal was a famous writer
>Maelle collabed with writers to murder Verso

>>717524137
You read the plot on wikipedia you mean

>>717524294
she's a selfish cunt
>kills painted Alicia
>tells verso to deal with it, her body her choice
>verso's turn to disappear
>noooo you have to stay for meee I don't care if your suffer eternally

>>717523098 (OP)
Deserved better.

>>717523548

>>717524447
no, but after I beaten the game I read that the story was written by a woman who had no prior experience in writing for video games
which explains a lot

>>717524621
yeah, explains why it was so good

>>717524454
She wanted to repaint Alicia but she moved her hand to her heart and told her to kill her
Verso is in NO position to complain he betrayed his sweet innocent sister for no reason and didn't even honor her final wish

>>717524669
I've been noticing a pattern of people who express disdain for jrpgs as a medium praising clair obscur, yes.

>>717524109
Both/all versions of Renoir are correct and right about everything and he is the best character in the game, actually any game, and I don't care about Alicia or Maelle or pAlicia or the others.
Monoco is cool too though.

>>717524750
I love JRPGs as a medium, but "no prior experience in writing for video games" is a good thing, and the funny thing is, you probably agree with me.

>>717524750
no one except your imaginary friends does that

>>717524621
Writing for video games is typically shit, I'm glad to give people without bad experience a chance.

>>717524621
>nigga stuck on simon
opinion invalid

>>717523548
You can play dressup with the barbies.

>>717524964
no, I came back to test whether I can wreck him without allowing him to take turn, which turned out to be true

>>717525053
>abusing maelle
>no hp/dmg modifiers
You didn't beat the boss :p

>>717525361
I lament that I've beaten that shitty game because it was a waste of time.

>>717525053
>i came back to test whether i can do something that people have been sharing videos of multiple methods of executing for months on end
quite the boast

>>717525472
>still spent 70 hours on it (like 30 more than the main story takes)
>still plays it to this day
>literally played it last night
kek

>>717525479
I do not watch guide videos on a game I'm currently playing, is that a zoomer thing?

>>717525686
Yes, I finished it last night and came to tell you how shitty it was. Surely you concur?

>>717524089
Cousins.

>>717526470
No, I don't

>>717523864
Anyone thinking this is a twist is retarded. They literally call the antagonist that controls their death "paintress". It was more than just hinted at.

>>717523574
that Maelle is Alicia

>>717530549
einhorn is finkle

>>717530549
I thought Alicia was the Paintress and she died which is why all her scenes are in black and white and Maelle is her reincarnation and she's counting down to the year she died
