Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a stylish turn-based RPG created by French developer Sandfall. These guys were inspired by Final Fantasy and Persona and wanted to create something magnificent to bring turn based RPGs back into the fold. I just wrapped up the full story, and there’s a lot I want to talk about, from its breathtaking art direction to its emotional themes, worldbuilding, and highly interactive combat system.
We talk cover:
⭐ The gorgeous visual presentation
⭐ Why the story didn’t hit me emotionally the same way it did others
⭐ How the combat system blends timing-based mechanics, guns, parries, and build variety
⭐ The strengths of the exploration and progression
⭐ One design choice I despise
Whether you're wondering if Expedition 33 is worth playing, or you're just looking for an RPG fix, this review breaks everything down you may want to know.
Chapters:
0:00 – Intro
0:39 – Story
3:22 – Combat
5:38 – Character Progression & Builds
7:05 – Exploration
7:57 – Closing Thoughts

This boss fight against Elidibus in Final Fantasy Tactics Ivalice Chronicles turned out better than expected — completely unplanned, yet perfectly aligned for success.
I went into the fight without a specific setup, but my team’s classes happened to work out beautifully. Using dance abilities to reduce Zodiac’s magic power from a safe distance made it possible for my summoners to survive long enough to learn Zodiac — almost everyone managed to get it!
If you’re curious how to approach this battle without overpreparing, or you want to see Zodiac’s full power in action, this video’s for you.
📺 Game: Final Fantasy Tactics: Ivalice Chronicles
⚔️ Boss: Zodiac
🎮 Difficulty: Tactician
🧠 Strategy: Magic reduction + Summoner survivability
💬 Commentary: None (raw gameplay)

Persona 5 Royal, the game, the movie recorded on the PS4 Pro. Putting together all the cutscenes (with Japanese voices) of golden path events to turn the game into a movie that you can watch. All romance/bonding scenes as well as side quests will be excluded unless they are part of the main story. Given how long the original Persona 5 was, expected there to be at least 30 parts.
