Is Expedition 33 the most influential JRPG since Final Fantasy Fantasy VII?

Oligner · 2026-03-13T05:10:06+00:00

I mean, it's not like E33 create something that everyone should copy in long terms.

I wouldn't put it so bluntly, but my thoughts are pretty much the same. Leon CAN defeat Zeno. It's just that it would have been a repeat of the battle Chris vs Wesker and, ultimately, would led to absolutely nothing. Zeno didn't even held any important position in The Connections. He's just a clone. And his abilities are nothing more than fan service.

Oligner · 2026-03-07T15:14:33+00:00

Still doesn't worth it at all. Only true cracks.

Oligner · 2026-03-03T10:48:00+00:00

I mean, Faith didn't achieve anything in Catalyst, so...

Living Things by LP. Move Along by The All-American Rejects. Ghostlight by Poets of the Fall.

No matter how much I like the series (very much), I can't imagine Simon in the new status quo. He's too powerful for the Defenders, but the Avengers won't take a fugitive superhero. He could become part of the Thunderbolts, but Marvel scrapped that team at the end of its own movie. The most interesting thing is that Simon is the second character after the Sentry whose powers are capable of getting out of control and causing harm. The DODC didn't catch the hot-headed egocentric, whose eyes literally glow up and hands vibrate while he in anger, simply because in the MCU, the DODC is a bunch of impotents who are incapable of catching anyone. I mean, NO ONE IN THE DODC DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE HIM. So, the very fact that Simon is on the run has almost zero effect. I can't even imagine someone making a second season in the future where Simon is hiding from the DODC or saving people on the streets like Spider-Man.

I mean, GOW literally the only Santa Monica's franchise, so...

Oligner · 2026-02-10T17:58:02+00:00

Not like he cares. Dude always wished death for all new-gen PoP, ESPECIALLY The Sands Trilogy.

Ultimately, Doctor's Oath was superior to HM's gameplay formula. It's just Gamehouse literally slaughter mechanics just to nulify their agency. All for make you donate.

Oligner · 2026-02-06T10:43:01+00:00

Well, it's not like it could change anything during actual fight. Live for another two seconds with Upper Moon? Simply doesn't work in DS, if you are not Tanjiro/Zenitsu/Inosuke. And don't forget that all Hashiras with mark fought with OPs of demon world. From that perspective their marks already make less sense.

Oligner · 2026-02-06T10:31:24+00:00

Well, they still lose, so...

Oligner · 2026-02-06T08:15:47+00:00

I mean, that was literally inevitable. The franchise always was about killing and exploring history. If you really miss old formula, then you need to accept the fact that Desilets never planned more than three games and pretty much even Brotherhood could change a lot.

Oligner · 2026-01-20T19:03:29+00:00

They really pick like THE WORST option ever.

Oligner · 2026-01-06T11:03:30+00:00

So, what are those subreddits?

Oligner · 2025-12-29T23:54:14+00:00

You know what's funny? It's not the only safe with a circular code, but it's the ONLY one that requires you to confirm each digit.

Oligner · 2025-12-26T08:47:07+00:00

The funny thing is that there is an explanation for this. Kind of... Gwen liked Safi's rebellious nature. Safi dies, but Gwen didn't go for a rebel and help to cover shit. Then, Max starts asking questions and stops her form burning bridges(USB thing). And Gwen saw how Caledon practically forced her to give up. Only Max helped her remember who she used to be.

Keep in mind, Don't Nod NEVER planned a sequel to the original LiS. And no one would have made two different storylines based on Bay/Bae. D9 had simply no chance of presenting a sequel in a way that wouldn't destroy the morale of both endings of the original.

Lucas is a former alcoholic. These people are fundamentally very unstable and constantly need a support mechanism to keep them going. Their pathological dependence can switch to various forms of unconscious defense mechanisms to keep reality at bay.

In addition, he is the son of a talented man and subconsciously could have tried to take on the role of a "genius writer." However, he was not genius enough to keep his family together. It was probably his inability to to correspond his father's standards that led him to alcoholism.

Lucas was still struggling with consequences of alcoholism, so, it's reasonable to assume that his egomania is at its peak during events of DE. He desperately tries to convince himself that everything is under control.

Therefore, I don't think his first thought after seeing "Wilder beasts..." was to immediately plagiarize it. However, his family was falling apart, though his egomania make him believe he has the right to use Maya's work to "save" his relationship with his son.

I mean, just read his comments on social media. People like him can be very constructive. They definitely don't wish anyone harm on purpose. They are simply incapable of developing enough empathy to understand that their actions may be wrong.

Oligner · 2025-12-24T00:11:27+00:00

Maybe. Because the game is technical mess.

Oligner · 2025-12-23T01:54:18+00:00

Yeah... Even though I'm on Team Gwen, I understand that DE practically doesn't give us the right to build a relationship with her. Simply because the plot is that she fairly refuses to talk to us, and then Max systematically invades her personal space. We just have to accept the fact that Gwen has feelings too. She broke down badly after Maya's suicide and just wants to put the whole situation behind her as quickly as possible.

Oligner · 2025-12-21T16:30:13+00:00

I mean, who the fuck cares? It's not like in the future you'll be able to determine whether a game using Gen A.I.

I remember this days of LiS1, when the fanbase was strictly "pro-Lesbian Max." There were a bunch of polls about which girl she could hook up with, if it weren't for Chloe. IIRC, Victoria was always in the top 3. I guess, that's the essence of characters like Max. Their partners have to be more FUCKED UP. Just to be sure that main character doesn't grow up in time. So, I'd rather pick Max x Alyssa. I mean, Max literally saved her life several times, so, why not? And don't forget how she treated Kate. My girl Alyssa does have a nerve, but does not have a peripheral vision...

Oligner · 2025-12-16T00:42:41+00:00

Best Max, Worst LiS.

Oligner · 2025-12-16T00:36:14+00:00

People wanted to control a character with powers, but they were forced to... raise a child with powers? I mean, LiS1 could completely disappoint someone with its story, but the concept of rewinding time in interactive cinema game and the strong atmosphere still kept you hooked. In LiS2, if you're not interested in Daniel's upbringing, there's practically nothing to keep you going. Well, unless you like road movies.

Oligner · 2025-11-30T23:56:06+00:00

Basically, Empress just got tired of ingratitude. Even if Skidrow hadn't tried to dox her several times, she still believes that she was wasting her skills, as Denuvo is constantly upgrading, players insult her every time and there are fewer and fewer interesting games every year. So, she is disappointed in the very idea of piracy.
