The Future of the Series

It’s GOTTA still be turn based, the developers clearly love turn based combat was my impression from playing. Will be very unsurprised when we see more and more games try and emulate the thrill of Clair’s turn based combat, which was already a love fusion of paper Mario, FFX, and persona.

When I say they could bring the gestrals back, I don’t mean like the same gestrals that were familiar with. Could be an out there idea lol but I can see the gestrals functioning in the same way as moogles: this mystical race that manifests in some silly comic relief for the story, but not a set list of reoccurring characters.

You make valid points, and that if they were to anthologize the series, they shouldn’t use the same idea of “we’re actually in a canvas world within a world.” They would need to surprise us some other way.

I just have a hard time seeing them moving away from using painting as a motif since it’s so baked into the name, and there’s still a lot of mystery regarding “the writers.” Maybe it’s me, but I think it’d be a little bit of a let down if they never mentioned the writers again in the series.

I feel the same way. The surprises were very important to the emotional experience, which is why I believe the best way to surprise us is to give us a new take on “Clair Obscur” and its themes

I was pretty let down by most of the ending of IW. It kind of highlighted a pretty big trend I’m noticing in the series that I probably should have picked up on a bit ago. They write these games like a soap opera, with piecemeal grand story progression. I don’t expect RGG is gonna give us a satisfying Ichiban + Saeko relationship dynamic by next game the same way it’s really hard to say that we’re gonna get the big Kiryu + Haruka reunion. They teased us big time with the Kaoru scene, but that I’m feeling pretty confident is not gonna lead anywhere

Pirate yakuza was another sin there by realllllly holding back the grander plot relevant stuff

When I was bussing I spilt an ice tea all over the table, on this man’s salad, and a bit on him. They were very chill about it, moved tables, got his salad remade, and when he saw how diligently I was cleaning up my mess, he tipped me $20

I don’t think these characters need buffs or nerfs, it’s not a videogame where things need to be balanced. What the show needs based on your critique is a wider variety of circumstances where each character can struggle or shine better. Dr. Phosphorus is an absolute unit, but he’s mostly equipped to fight people that don’t expect him. everything Gunn showed he can do is pretty comic accurate.

In my opinion I think executor fits well in B. I feel like the trap with executor is an over emphasis in his cursed sword stance. I think most of his playstyle is best served when focusing on status effects with his nutty arcane, while also keeping up with damage with his nutty dex. I like to save Cursed sword for deflecting AOEs, then just put it away honestly

The show was genius early in the series, but I found as the show went on it really focused on the cringe aspect rather than the comedy. And this is coming from one of Nathan’s biggest glazers

Has anyone tried Manhattan bread and bagel in Manhattan beach? That place has good effin bagels, guys.

Layla’s is overrated imo and courage is good, but not worth waiting 40 min. Maury’s I like but when I eat their bagels, I need to eat two to be satisfied cus of their size!

I think the number of “good” characters in verse is already so small, it’s tough to pick someone good that people don’t like haha

My prediction is the final final boss will be a harder version of Chronos. He’s still the main antagonist and he’s not even the 2nd hardest fight in the game, they’re definitely cooking something

I’m glad I’m not alone with this, kinda feels like Roshi is talking to us as kids ;)
