Maciej's infinite harem is the main purpose of this simulation

Is it spreading from the stellar blade threads?

Why do people like feet so much ? Theyre just hands for you legs

a fetish betas develop by always looking at the ground

>>719170527
It's a fetish, albeit a common one, you won't get it if you don't have it. I personally am attracted by it since pretty much always.

>>719169608 (OP)
Couldn't have happened to a better guy

>>719170527
Nice, clean, aesthetic female feet just look great. I actually like dainty hands too.

>>719169608 (OP)
He deserves it. Shouldn't have bullshitted everyone literally every time he opens his mouth.

>>719169608 (OP)
what was his fucking problem?

>games kills off a likeable protagonist and replaces him with a sociopathic liar who betrays the party
>it actually works well

I like Verso more than Gustave because of how unique he is for an RPG protagonist.

Don't care games is overrated

>>719171482
>be me
>loved Gustave
>lose him and get this guy
>find his shadiness and the timing on letting Gustave die suspicious
>dislike him on sight for being a replacement goldfish and how I'm supposed to like him and get him to befriend or romance the actual party members
>fuck you I won't let you have Lune, she's right to distrust you
>he's an actual traitor deliberately fucking over everyone including all his friends, his potential romance, and his actual family because he just really really wants to die (his actual ending is good but it's a by-product of his existential crisis, not his actual goal)
>Lune gives him a fucking death stare as he dooms them all
felt oddly vindicated

>>719169608 (OP)
Thats Verso #3 whose life is just to play the piano sometimes. Oh no how cruel...

>>719171678
>Don't care

>>719170527
they're sensitive and a foot massage feels good so it's not far-fetched to see it as an erogenous zone
the "imagine the smell" weirdos need to hang though

>>719171482
>game makes you love gustave
>makes you dislike verso for trying to fill his shoes
>convinces you to like verso
>feeds you clues you were right not to trust him
>turns out he was lying about everything but had his reasons (playerbase is understandably split on these motivations)
Certainly among the most kino characters ever in a videogame. Love him or hate him, what a ride.

>>719171895
His main goal was very clearly to save Aline and Alicia, with him being able to die being the byproduct. Renoir showing them what’s happening to Aline in the real world is the moment that cements his decision.

>>719172141
That and catching Alicia's lie that she'll ever leave.
>VERSO JUST WANTED TO DIE IT WAS HIS ONLY MOTIVATION
then he would've let renoir kill him at the beginning of act 3. Myth busted.

>>719171895
>because he just really really wants to die (his actual ending is good but it's a by-product of his existential crisis
The only way the game could've been more explicit about this not being the case is if they literally stopped the scene during his ending and he looked at the camera and said "I am doing this to put an end to this vicious cycle of grief my original and by extension myself and this canvas that is destroying the lives of the family the original me died trying to protect, and who I feel compelled to grant the same priority over myself on account of me being created as a literal replacement for the son who sacrificed himself and was both savior and unintentional destroyer of, having his whole memories and everything."

>>719172141
why exactly does he care about aline (not his real mom) and maelle (not his real sister) over his real (painted) dad and real sister and real friends? was he just programmed like that?

Ah ah Verso, remember your promise?

>>719172293
People like you are exactly why I fell like Verso is entirely justified in just never even bothering trying to be upfront about his motivations because some motherfuckers are just dense and can't understand anything more complex than "kill bad guy, save good guy"

>>719172257
People that really want to hate either Alicia or Verso will put any argument first through the filter of "does this aid me in hating the character?" and maybe, a few hours later, through the filter of "was that true?"
>>719172293
Aline is as real a mom as he can have given that he was painted born and raised. He's an accurate recreation of the real verso who felt the need to give his own life to save Alicia so caring for Alicia is also not a big surprise.

thread theme btw. It's really grown on me as of late. Super fitting aesthetically and mood-wise.

>>719172930
It took me forever to realise that if you play a piano in this game and interact with it, each party member will play their respective theme.

>>719172141
The problem is that Dessendres are shitty worthless people who are unfit for godly powers that they have and definitely not worth saving. If there was an ending where all their souls get imprisoned to maintain the world they've forced into existence in perpetuity, it would have been the only morally correct ending.

Good news we will probably get a game with it being writers vs painters

>>719173549
>definitely not worth saving
Sure but the people making the decisions are all dessendres.
>i'm mad at video games so eternal torture is morally right
You're not old enough to engage with art.

>>719173696
The only story for such game that I can see after this one, is a game where you play as a writer going through a list of painters and throwing molotovs into their windows to fully stop them from doing things like they were doing in e33.

>>719173696
The real good news is that nothing in that text suggests the next game will be writers vs. painters. Only midwits saw that small piece of exposition and said "omGOD i need MORE of that EXPLAINED to me!" Like people who read EU books for star wars or halo or some shit. "It's really fascinating, the logistical structure of the empire!" Who gives a fuck?

>>719173872
TPD to be sure. Gas the painters art war now

>>719173696
>>719173872
Considering the dev is a FF fanboy, who says it’s not going to be like FF where it’s an anthology series with only a select few shared elements connecting each game?

>>719173696
>>719174013
That would honestly probably be the best case scenario. I really hope they don't make the mistake of fucking around with the e33 story and making completely unnecessary sequels giving completely needless explanations to things that are best left vague and up to interpretation.

>>719173908
Anon missed the probability in my post and got triggered, anyone who paid attention would wonder about the fight the writers and painters are having and why it started

>>719174013
Alternatively could be something like the Myst series but with paintings instead of books. I mean the family drama aspect is already there. Maybe something with their descendants?

The story should have had some rape
The writers could have raped alicia before burning her
Or after

>>719173872
why are you even assuming the writers aren't doing the exact same thing with the worlds they write into being?

>>719174454
The war, and the existence of painters will probably be the connective tissue linking all the stories together (since Clair Obscur is a painting term), but they’re going to have to be careful with how they write the next game, because they can’t use the existence of painted worlds as a plot twist anymore.

>>719174614
There’s nothing suggesting that they didn’t.

>>719172130
4chan really has a knack for blending headcanon and oversimplification into making anything sound way more gay and stupid than it really is.
jesus christ it hurts reading peoples comments on games anymore

>>719174264
Besides having two drastically different endings would cause problems with that. And trying to merge them into "actually Maelle ending Maelle got out of the painting" or "actually Verso ending Maelle lost it and made a new painting trying to copy Lumiere" would just ruin both endings.

>>719174490
>I mean the family drama aspect is already there. Maybe something with their descendants?
Absolutely not. Holy shit, please no.

>>719174870
~Exactly. Just leave it well alone and if they must make games in the same universe give enough distance as to where the gravitational fields of each don't affect each other's sytems, so to speak.

>>719174013
God willing that'll be the case. E33's story is complete and I don't think they can touch on it again without diminishing it.

>>719173549
>ree i hate my dad
Chill

>>719173696
on the off chance anyone at sandfall ever reads this thread and this post, this would be massive mistake. this IP has no gas left in the tank plotwise. move on to something new

>>719173696
>probably
what in that image told you that?

>>719173549
they've made hundreds of paintings

If it WAS going to become an anthology series, what elements should carry over between games? If it were up to me I’d say:

>Chroma
>Luminas and Pictos
>references to Esquie (since the existence of a plushie implies that he exists in some form beyond the canvas)
>maybe Francois as a recurring joke boss similar to Gilgamesh

Apart from that, I’m not sure. I don’t think you could do the Nevrons again, since those are Clea’s creations.

>have power to make completely realistic world you yourself can enter and experience
just make your ultimate sex fantasy world

>>719175597
thats what clea did when she first started experimenting with masturbation

>>719175597
Why do you think all the women want to fuck Verso?

>>719173696
Would be cool to see a story where the painted world thing was known from the start, like your mc group already know the deal and painting is part of the plot already.

>>719175765
Painted Verso is Aline’s Verso though— not his own.

>(since the existence of a plushie implies that he exists in some form beyond the canvas)
>>maybe Francois as a recurring joke boss similar to Gilgamesh
Jesus Christ have mercy on us all....

>>719175585
Just keep the painting magic and part of the combat system, please no shitty memes being run into the ground until everyone hates the original.

>>719175869
Characters are still predisposed to liking him since he's still Verso, albeit superficially. Monoco and Esquie comment on this.

>>719175585
>Esquie and Francois

what were the mime niggas
why is the mightiest one bald
come up with something cool

>>719175585
I think all that needs to carry over other than the combat system is the concept of worlds created by artists.

>be french
>fill game with baguettes, mimes, paris, eiffel tower, french ass names, stereotypical clothes
imagine an american game thats full of american flag waving, hamburgers, etc

im surprised they dont feel weird doing that

>>719176839
>why is the mightiest one bald
A manifestation of Verso's fear of male pattern baldness and thus, the loss of his charm.

>>719177007
it's ok because french = kino

>>719177007
>set a french game in france
>french things exist
The french clothes are literally called baguette. Hell, they knew selling it on frenchness would get a wider audience than “cosmopolitan identityless city setting”

>>719176839
easter eggs to give you silly cosmetics
>come up with something cool
no

>>719177007
>french characters have french names
>crooked tower is there to suggest, from the beginning, that something is wrong/this may be a twisted mirror of reality
>paris is there to drive home that the world we spent acts 1/2 in was a creation
>baguettes/mimes/clothes are easter eggs/jokes
Why would they feel weird?

>>719169608 (OP)
He just needs to bang his hot not-sister and stop worrying about it. She made her choice, and even if it's not a full life, she does get to live a life inside the painting. With him.

>>719177404
t. Alicia

>>719175585
>references to Esquie (since the existence of a plushie implies that he exists in some form beyond the canvas)

What if Esquie is some Mickey Mouse, mega-corpo shit? Do you guys think there millions of Esquies in diferent paintings, books or fanfictions?
Fuck, can I make a fanfiction and live in it? Imagine being able to fuck your waifu... Paitings are dangerous indeed...

>>719177404
He knows he cannot swell her with pregnancy and the original verso is a huge fag about that sort of thing. Why do you think even his childish soul remnant wouldn’t stop drawing pregnant women?

*SHILLS*
DAMN! THIS THREAD AGAAAAAIN? HOW MANY TIMES OP? SURELY YOU AINT DOIN THIS FOR FREE BECUZ... WELL, YOU MIGHT BE ON PAR WITH A JANNY, MAYBE EVEN WORSE, FOR CREATING DAILY THREADS FOR 4 MONTHS STRAIGHT ABOUT A UESLOP ASTROTURFED GAME FROM (((FRANCE))). PRETTY RIDICULOUS.

as a frenchman I thought it was a bit overdone
Not that there's anything wrong with it but it carries over to the studio's employees names in the credits, it's very rare to get so many French people with so many actual French names
>>719177250
what's really bugging is everyone calling her loonay when every other fench word is pronounced right

>>719177768
People other than the Japanese are starting to understand selling foreigners your culture is very profitable. The west has been desperate to be anything other than itself.

>>719173696
Could be cool, they pretty much can do whatever they want with chroma and paintings as a base. Wonder how they will utilize the writers.
