  3. the Divinity series and then you have the Divinity series and then you have these games like a South Park Stick of these games like a South Park Stick of these games like a South Park Stick of Truth which dabble into turnbas style Truth which dabble into turnbas style Truth which dabble into turnbas style gameplay as well and you're starting to gameplay as well and you're starting to gameplay as well and you're starting to get more and more turnbas games in the get more and more turnbas games in the get more and more turnbas games in the west with games like sea of stars chain west with games like sea of stars chain west with games like sea of stars chain deos a lot of these Indie RPGs as well deos a lot of these Indie RPGs as well deos a lot of these Indie RPGs as well and I've noticed with some friend groups and I've noticed with some friend groups and I've noticed with some friend groups and some other communities which don't and some other communities which don't and some other communities which don't normally play jrpgs or turn-based games normally play jrpgs or turn-based games normally play jrpgs or turn-based games that many people have some issues with that many people have some issues with that many people have some issues with turn-based combat and a lot of it comes turn-based combat and a lot of it comes turn-based combat and a lot of it comes down to just the flow of gameplay being down to just the flow of gameplay being down to just the flow of gameplay being a little too slow not as engaging not as a little too slow not as engaging not as a little too slow not as engaging not as interactive there's too much menu interactive there's too much menu interactive there's too much menu scrolling the battles get too repetitive scrolling the battles get too repetitive scrolling the battles get too repetitive and too monotonous and they just and too monotonous and they just and too monotonous and they just continue to feel the same over and over continue to feel the same over and over continue to feel the same over and over and over again and many games like and over again and many games like and over again and many games like Persona and Final Fantasy kind of spice Persona and Final Fantasy kind of spice Persona and Final Fantasy kind of spice things up a bit by having very things up a bit by having very things up a bit by having very interactive menus and flashy combat interactive menus and flashy combat interactive menus and flashy combat animations animations animations and Final Fantasy had the active time and Final Fantasy had the active time and Final Fantasy had the active time battling with your ATB bars and you had battling with your ATB bars and you had battling with your ATB bars and you had this with games like the classic Final this with games like the classic Final this with games like the classic Final Fantasy games and Chrono Trigger and Fantasy games and Chrono Trigger and Fantasy games and Chrono Trigger and then turnbas games also spice things up then turnbas games also spice things up then turnbas games also spice things up a bit by adding new character a bit by adding new character a bit by adding new character customization build varieties that can customization build varieties that can customization build varieties that can play into your turnbas battles and even play into your turnbas battles and even play into your turnbas battles and even very specific mechanics to certain very specific mechanics to certain very specific mechanics to certain franchises like the Press turn battling franchises like the Press turn battling franchises like the Press turn battling and smt and even games which add more and smt and even games which add more and smt and even games which add more interactivity to your battling like the interactivity to your battling like the interactivity to your battling like the Mario RPG series Mario and Luigi and Mario RPG series Mario and Luigi and Mario RPG series Mario and Luigi and even a game which looks to have heavily even a game which looks to have heavily even a game which looks to have heavily inspired Expedition 33 which is honobu inspired Expedition 33 which is honobu inspired Expedition 33 which is honobu sakaguchi Lost Odyssey on the Xbox 360

  4. sakaguchi Lost Odyssey on the Xbox 360 sakaguchi Lost Odyssey on the Xbox 360 but how does Clare obscure Expedition 33 but how does Clare obscure Expedition 33 but how does Clare obscure Expedition 33 stand out from all of these other stand out from all of these other stand out from all of these other turn-based games so Expedition 33 does turn-based games so Expedition 33 does turn-based games so Expedition 33 does use this sort of blend of realtime use this sort of blend of realtime use this sort of blend of realtime action and turn-based command battling action and turn-based command battling action and turn-based command battling and what they call it is it's called a and what they call it is it's called a and what they call it is it's called a reactive turn-based battle and it reactive turn-based battle and it reactive turn-based battle and it doesn't blend action combat and doesn't blend action combat and doesn't blend action combat and turn-based combat like Trails through turn-based combat like Trails through turn-based combat like Trails through Daybreak or metaphor ref fantasio or Daybreak or metaphor ref fantasio or Daybreak or metaphor ref fantasio or even Final Fantasy 7 remake and rebirth even Final Fantasy 7 remake and rebirth even Final Fantasy 7 remake and rebirth do this still focuses entirely on do this still focuses entirely on do this still focuses entirely on turn-based combat and turn-based turn-based combat and turn-based turn-based combat and turn-based battling with command menus and party battling with command menus and party battling with command menus and party members going one after the other so members going one after the other so members going one after the other so it's still like a classic turn-based it's still like a classic turn-based it's still like a classic turn-based command battling system sort of in the command battling system sort of in the command battling system sort of in the veins of Final Fantasy 10 but it just veins of Final Fantasy 10 but it just veins of Final Fantasy 10 but it just makes these battles a lot more engaging makes these battles a lot more engaging makes these battles a lot more engaging and reactive since you can Parry attacks and reactive since you can Parry attacks and reactive since you can Parry attacks from enemies you can enhance your from enemies you can enhance your from enemies you can enhance your attacks by executing certain button attacks by executing certain button attacks by executing certain button commands you can aim projectile attacks commands you can aim projectile attacks commands you can aim projectile attacks as well and all of this adds a lot of as well and all of this adds a lot of as well and all of this adds a lot of strategy and a lot of dynamic strategy and a lot of dynamic strategy and a lot of dynamic interactivity to what some might see as interactivity to what some might see as interactivity to what some might see as sort of a stagnant battling system I sort of a stagnant battling system I sort of a stagnant battling system I personally notice that sometimes what's personally notice that sometimes what's personally notice that sometimes what's a little off-putting about turn-based a little off-putting about turn-based a little off-putting about turn-based games is how you're constantly waiting games is how you're constantly waiting games is how you're constantly waiting around for things to happen you're just around for things to happen you're just around for things to happen you're just seeing animations play out even though seeing animations play out even though seeing animations play out even though they look really cool you're just they look really cool you're just they look really cool you're just waiting for them to actually land the waiting for them to actually land the waiting for them to actually land the attack whether it's the enemy or whether attack whether it's the enemy or whether attack whether it's the enemy or whether it is your playable character who

  5. it is your playable character who it is your playable character who executes an attack or executes a summon executes an attack or executes a summon executes an attack or executes a summon or something like that the reactive or something like that the reactive or something like that the reactive turn-based commands of expedition 33 turn-based commands of expedition 33 turn-based commands of expedition 33 seem to fill those gaps and it's seem to fill those gaps and it's seem to fill those gaps and it's something that I can see a lot more something that I can see a lot more something that I can see a lot more people getting interested in who weren't people getting interested in who weren't people getting interested in who weren't originally interested in turn-based originally interested in turn-based originally interested in turn-based gameplay the reactive turn-based gameplay the reactive turn-based gameplay the reactive turn-based commands of expedition 33 seemed to fill commands of expedition 33 seemed to fill commands of expedition 33 seemed to fill those gaps by having you actively engage those gaps by having you actively engage those gaps by having you actively engage in combat through certain button promps in combat through certain button promps in combat through certain button promps and certain actions like I said before and certain actions like I said before and certain actions like I said before dodging aiming parrying Etc and this can dodging aiming parrying Etc and this can dodging aiming parrying Etc and this can definitely get a lot more people definitely get a lot more people definitely get a lot more people interested in this kind of game play who interested in this kind of game play who interested in this kind of game play who weren't interested in turn-based combat weren't interested in turn-based combat weren't interested in turn-based combat before and outside of combat Expedition before and outside of combat Expedition before and outside of combat Expedition 33 has the very core of what a jrpg is 33 has the very core of what a jrpg is 33 has the very core of what a jrpg is but in a very realistic art style and in but in a very realistic art style and in but in a very realistic art style and in a very Next Generation almost AAA feel a very Next Generation almost AAA feel a very Next Generation almost AAA feel to it you see sandfall interactive this to it you see sandfall interactive this to it you see sandfall interactive this is their very first game so this is sort is their very first game so this is sort is their very first game so this is sort of like if you want to classify it in of like if you want to classify it in of like if you want to classify it in that kind of AAA space this would that kind of AAA space this would that kind of AAA space this would probably be a double a game but honestly probably be a double a game but honestly probably be a double a game but honestly this looks like a AAA game to me the this looks like a AAA game to me the this looks like a AAA game to me the graphics look amazing the art style is graphics look amazing the art style is graphics look amazing the art style is really vibrant and really really really vibrant and really really really vibrant and really really beautiful and this looks exactly like beautiful and this looks exactly like beautiful and this looks exactly like what Square Enix used to try to do to what Square Enix used to try to do to what Square Enix used to try to do to push limits and push Fidelity for a push limits and push Fidelity for a push limits and push Fidelity for a visually immersive and technically visually immersive and technically visually immersive and technically masterful Final Fantasy and RPG masterful Final Fantasy and RPG masterful Final Fantasy and RPG experience and honestly you guys might

  6. experience and honestly you guys might experience and honestly you guys might know this about me and me and other RPG know this about me and me and other RPG know this about me and me and other RPG and Nintendo fans don't really like and Nintendo fans don't really like and Nintendo fans don't really like realistic art styles that much when I realistic art styles that much when I realistic art styles that much when I see a lot of like PlayStation games I see a lot of like PlayStation games I see a lot of like PlayStation games I always tell my friends they all look the always tell my friends they all look the always tell my friends they all look the ex exact same all the art styles all the ex exact same all the art styles all the ex exact same all the art styles all the characters look the exact same because characters look the exact same because characters look the exact same because they just look like real people whenever they just look like real people whenever they just look like real people whenever I'm interested in an art style for a I'm interested in an art style for a I'm interested in an art style for a game it's because the characters the game it's because the characters the game it's because the characters the worlds the environment looks different worlds the environment looks different worlds the environment looks different from anything else that I've ever laid from anything else that I've ever laid from anything else that I've ever laid my eyes on and I will say this my eyes on and I will say this my eyes on and I will say this Expedition 33 has a realistic art style Expedition 33 has a realistic art style Expedition 33 has a realistic art style and even though it has a realistic and even though it has a realistic and even though it has a realistic Graphics the art Direction the colors Graphics the art Direction the colors Graphics the art Direction the colors the visuals and the environmental design the visuals and the environmental design the visuals and the environmental design and so much more of the visual and the and so much more of the visual and the and so much more of the visual and the aesthetic identity make this game stand aesthetic identity make this game stand aesthetic identity make this game stand out from any other game that uses a out from any other game that uses a out from any other game that uses a realistic art style in my personal realistic art style in my personal realistic art style in my personal opinion it looks almost exactly like a opinion it looks almost exactly like a opinion it looks almost exactly like a painting that has come to life and it's painting that has come to life and it's painting that has come to life and it's very fitting with the themes and the very fitting with the themes and the very fitting with the themes and the premise and the story that's being told premise and the story that's being told premise and the story that's being told in this game so this Thursday on January in this game so this Thursday on January in this game so this Thursday on January 23rd we got an Xbox developer direct and 23rd we got an Xbox developer direct and 23rd we got an Xbox developer direct and usually I don't watch these kinds of usually I don't watch these kinds of usually I don't watch these kinds of shows because many of the games shown shows because many of the games shown shows because many of the games shown aren't really that interesting to me but aren't really that interesting to me but aren't really that interesting to me but I had to make time out of my day to I had to make time out of my day to I had to make time out of my day to watch this one because CLA obscure watch this one because CLA obscure watch this one because CLA obscure Expedition 33 was going to be there and Expedition 33 was going to be there and Expedition 33 was going to be there and it was a great showing I loved hearing it was a great showing I loved hearing it was a great showing I loved hearing what all the developers designers what all the developers designers what all the developers designers writers from sandfall interactive had to

  7. writers from sandfall interactive had to writers from sandfall interactive had to say about this game and it made me so say about this game and it made me so say about this game and it made me so much more excited to get my hands on much more excited to get my hands on much more excited to get my hands on this game and play it and what I really this game and play it and what I really this game and play it and what I really truly loved about what the devs had to truly loved about what the devs had to truly loved about what the devs had to say about Expedition 33 is they say about Expedition 33 is they say about Expedition 33 is they constantly kept referring back to how constantly kept referring back to how constantly kept referring back to how they were in inspired by classic jrpgs they were in inspired by classic jrpgs they were in inspired by classic jrpgs and I remember when this game was and I remember when this game was and I remember when this game was initially revealed last summer they initially revealed last summer they initially revealed last summer they pointed out that they were inspired by pointed out that they were inspired by pointed out that they were inspired by games like Final Fantasy and Persona games like Final Fantasy and Persona games like Final Fantasy and Persona which are obviously some of my favorite which are obviously some of my favorite which are obviously some of my favorite games of all time and just hearing that games of all time and just hearing that games of all time and just hearing that made me so happy and so appreciative made me so happy and so appreciative made me so happy and so appreciative that there are people out there who that there are people out there who that there are people out there who still love these games and want to still love these games and want to still love these games and want to capture the essence that are being capture the essence that are being capture the essence that are being conveyed in these amazing phenomenal conveyed in these amazing phenomenal conveyed in these amazing phenomenal experience es and you see the Final experience es and you see the Final experience es and you see the Final Fantasy identity really prominently in Fantasy identity really prominently in Fantasy identity really prominently in this game like first of all you see it this game like first of all you see it this game like first of all you see it in the conditional battle style and you in the conditional battle style and you in the conditional battle style and you have like a turn order which reminds me have like a turn order which reminds me have like a turn order which reminds me of Final Fantasy 10 and you see it as of Final Fantasy 10 and you see it as of Final Fantasy 10 and you see it as most recently in a game like fantasian most recently in a game like fantasian most recently in a game like fantasian I'm playing fantasian now on and off and I'm playing fantasian now on and off and I'm playing fantasian now on and off and this battle order is really awesome and this battle order is really awesome and this battle order is really awesome and it really helps me get immersed in that it really helps me get immersed in that it really helps me get immersed in that kind of experience and I really love kind of experience and I really love kind of experience and I really love that expedition 33 has that feature with that expedition 33 has that feature with that expedition 33 has that feature with which will add a little more strategy to which will add a little more strategy to which will add a little more strategy to its combat and gameplay and in terms of its combat and gameplay and in terms of its combat and gameplay and in terms of the characters and their play Styles I the characters and their play Styles I the characters and their play Styles I love how every single character has a love how every single character has a love how every single character has a different style of gameplay to them so different style of gameplay to them so different style of gameplay to them so it's going to encourage you to it's going to encourage you to it's going to encourage you to experiment with different party members

  8. experiment with different party members experiment with different party members so for example myel can change stances so for example myel can change stances so for example myel can change stances from offensive to defensive so she can from offensive to defensive so she can from offensive to defensive so she can take a supportive role or even take an take a supportive role or even take an take a supportive role or even take an offensive role which can vary your offensive role which can vary your offensive role which can vary your combat Encounters in the game and your combat Encounters in the game and your combat Encounters in the game and your gestal party member Monaco is almost gestal party member Monaco is almost gestal party member Monaco is almost like a blue mage but it's not that he like a blue mage but it's not that he like a blue mage but it's not that he can really learn skills from enemies but can really learn skills from enemies but can really learn skills from enemies but he can turn into enemies so that's going he can turn into enemies so that's going he can turn into enemies so that's going to be a very fun mechanic to play around to be a very fun mechanic to play around to be a very fun mechanic to play around with in the game now moving on to the with in the game now moving on to the with in the game now moving on to the story of expedition 33 this story seems story of expedition 33 this story seems story of expedition 33 this story seems to be a very introspective one with a to be a very introspective one with a to be a very introspective one with a deep character relationships and a deep character relationships and a deep character relationships and a tight-knit party Dynamic and that's very tight-knit party Dynamic and that's very tight-knit party Dynamic and that's very very integral for any jrpg experience very integral for any jrpg experience very integral for any jrpg experience and with how dire and somber the mood of and with how dire and somber the mood of and with how dire and somber the mood of the overall story can be I'm very the overall story can be I'm very the overall story can be I'm very interested to see how these characters interested to see how these characters interested to see how these characters will take on these very daunting will take on these very daunting will take on these very daunting challenges together in this story it challenges together in this story it challenges together in this story it seems you have themes of identity seems you have themes of identity seems you have themes of identity purpose duty to oneself and your family purpose duty to oneself and your family purpose duty to oneself and your family trauma and dark memories of the past and trauma and dark memories of the past and trauma and dark memories of the past and living out your life to its fullest so living out your life to its fullest so living out your life to its fullest so many of my favorite jrpg stories tackle many of my favorite jrpg stories tackle many of my favorite jrpg stories tackle these themes and these Concepts but I'm these themes and these Concepts but I'm these themes and these Concepts but I'm very interested to see how Expedition 33 very interested to see how Expedition 33 very interested to see how Expedition 33 has its own unique spin on this because has its own unique spin on this because has its own unique spin on this because many of these themes are present in a many of these themes are present in a many of these themes are present in a lot of different jrpgs from Final lot of different jrpgs from Final lot of different jrpgs from Final Fantasy Persona smt Xenoblade Fire

  11. Golden Era of Final Fantasy you see it Golden Era of Final Fantasy you see it in Final Fantasy 6 7 8 and n and you in Final Fantasy 6 7 8 and n and you in Final Fantasy 6 7 8 and n and you even see it in games like Chrono Trigger even see it in games like Chrono Trigger even see it in games like Chrono Trigger and Xeno gears you have this world map and Xeno gears you have this world map and Xeno gears you have this world map where you get a true look at the where you get a true look at the where you get a true look at the absolute scale absolute scale absolute scale and massive scope of the world that and massive scope of the world that and massive scope of the world that you're playing around in and you can see you're playing around in and you can see you're playing around in and you can see all the towns you can see all the all the towns you can see all the all the towns you can see all the forests and caves and once you have the forests and caves and once you have the forests and caves and once you have the ability to do so you can go wherever ability to do so you can go wherever ability to do so you can go wherever your heart desires I love how they made your heart desires I love how they made your heart desires I love how they made sure to highlight how awesome this is sure to highlight how awesome this is sure to highlight how awesome this is and how that many jrpgs in the modern and how that many jrpgs in the modern and how that many jrpgs in the modern era don't have this feature anymore like era don't have this feature anymore like era don't have this feature anymore like you see modern Final Fantasy that you see modern Final Fantasy that you see modern Final Fantasy that something that kind disappointed me with something that kind disappointed me with something that kind disappointed me with Final Fantasy 16 no world map and even Final Fantasy 16 no world map and even Final Fantasy 16 no world map and even games like your typical Atlas game they games like your typical Atlas game they games like your typical Atlas game they don't have you traversing in a world map don't have you traversing in a world map don't have you traversing in a world map I mean it's a different kind of I mean it's a different kind of I mean it's a different kind of experience but it is something that I experience but it is something that I experience but it is something that I miss in this specific genre games like miss in this specific genre games like miss in this specific genre games like Xenoblade Chronicles and Final Fantasy 7 Xenoblade Chronicles and Final Fantasy 7 Xenoblade Chronicles and Final Fantasy 7 rebirth are bringing that system back rebirth are bringing that system back rebirth are bringing that system back but what I love so much about Clare but what I love so much about Clare but what I love so much about Clare obscure Expedition 33's world map is obscure Expedition 33's world map is obscure Expedition 33's world map is it's kind of condensed it's kind of condensed it's kind of condensed and it feels like there's so much to do and it feels like there's so much to do and it feels like there's so much to do in it and so much to see and so much to in it and so much to see and so much to in it and so much to see and so much to explore it's not cluttered with empty explore it's not cluttered with empty explore it's not cluttered with empty space and it doesn't have that many like space and it doesn't have that many like space and it doesn't have that many like big expansive environments it feels more big expansive environments it feels more big expansive environments it feels more like a style of like a Final Fantasy 7 like a style of like a Final Fantasy 7 like a style of like a Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 9 world map which I and Final Fantasy 9 world map which I and Final Fantasy 9 world map which I really appreciate because it can focus

  12. really appreciate because it can focus really appreciate because it can focus on a lot of the interesting points of on a lot of the interesting points of on a lot of the interesting points of interests and add a lot more to the interests and add a lot more to the interests and add a lot more to the immersion of that experience instead of immersion of that experience instead of immersion of that experience instead of just making it big for the sake of just making it big for the sake of just making it big for the sake of making it big if that makes sense and making it big if that makes sense and making it big if that makes sense and what makes these classic jrpg world maps what makes these classic jrpg world maps what makes these classic jrpg world maps so amazing is the more you progress in so amazing is the more you progress in so amazing is the more you progress in the story more you progress in the game the story more you progress in the game the story more you progress in the game you're able to explore different areas you're able to explore different areas you're able to explore different areas because you get different Vehicles like because you get different Vehicles like because you get different Vehicles like if you remember in Final Fantasy 7 first if you remember in Final Fantasy 7 first if you remember in Final Fantasy 7 first you're just walking on foot then you get you're just walking on foot then you get you're just walking on foot then you get the buggy which which allows you to the buggy which which allows you to the buggy which which allows you to explore the mountainous regions of Cosmo explore the mountainous regions of Cosmo explore the mountainous regions of Cosmo Canyon and then you get the tiny Bronco Canyon and then you get the tiny Bronco Canyon and then you get the tiny Bronco which allows you to go all the way to which allows you to go all the way to which allows you to go all the way to different areas of the map like the different areas of the map like the different areas of the map like the Temple of the Ancients and then much Temple of the Ancients and then much Temple of the Ancients and then much later on in the game you finally end off later on in the game you finally end off later on in the game you finally end off with your Airship and you can go with your Airship and you can go with your Airship and you can go wherever you want and Clare obscure wherever you want and Clare obscure wherever you want and Clare obscure Expedition 33 has a very interesting and Expedition 33 has a very interesting and Expedition 33 has a very interesting and very unique take on this Mount or very unique take on this Mount or very unique take on this Mount or vehicle or Airship and it is another vehicle or Airship and it is another vehicle or Airship and it is another gestal character and his name is es so gestal character and his name is es so gestal character and his name is es so he's basically like your Airship but he's basically like your Airship but he's basically like your Airship but this character is kind of like a hot air this character is kind of like a hot air this character is kind of like a hot air balloon kind of guy and he can be balloon kind of guy and he can be balloon kind of guy and he can be upgraded and the more you upgrade him upgraded and the more you upgrade him upgraded and the more you upgrade him the more things he can do and the more the more things he can do and the more the more things he can do and the more ways he can travel across the world map ways he can travel across the world map ways he can travel across the world map so the way we see him travel is we see so the way we see him travel is we see so the way we see him travel is we see him like swimming we see him flying and him like swimming we see him flying and him like swimming we see him flying and gliding but I'm very excited to see what gliding but I'm very excited to see what gliding but I'm very excited to see what his final Airship upgrade is going to be his final Airship upgrade is going to be his final Airship upgrade is going to be but this is a very interesting and very but this is a very interesting and very but this is a very interesting and very unique take on the different vehicles
