May 5th, Children's Day.

This day is one that all children look forward to.

It's my little sister, Bosong's birthday.

If we were to express it in fluffy terms, we could say it's a fluffy day.

As is always the case with people born on anniversaries,

I didn't give separate gifts for Children's Day and birthdays.

Instead, I give them meat for all three meals. I also give them snacks.

I chose a fairly expensive gift and gave it to him.

This is the best I can do.

I do that because I find it admirable that he causes trouble but doesn't feel bad about it.

If only my mind was a little more sane, that would be nice.

anyhow.

Children's Day comes again this May without fail.

This May 5th is in the middle of a weekday, so it might be difficult to prepare in advance the day before.

Then, I have to go out and buy something in advance the weekend before.

Now, little by little, there are no more gifts to give.

Last year it was game consoles and game chips.

Last year too, it was a game console and game chips.

And the year before last, it was game consoles and game chips.

If I do the same thing this year, there's nothing more worth buying.

I haven't bought you the Happy Box or anything yet, because it's for assassination.

If you just let it slide, I'll get really angry.

I once gave a dress to someone I didn't have money for in the past, after writing it down in a cardboard box.

I got hit with a flying fluffy kick that was so strong that not a single dust particle came out.

My aunt also didn't stop me, saying that I was doing the right thing.

So the conclusion is.

“A gift that a girl would like?”

I asked people around me.

Of course, I don't mean going to each and every one of them and asking.

It's something I did on the side during my regular routine of visiting the sick.

My time is precious too.

The person I asked was Mina. She is my childhood friend whom I have known for over 10 years.

He has been unwell since birth and is currently hospitalized.

So, I may not know what my peers around me would like.

When I saw it, it seemed pretty believable.

Because Bosong and Mina have a lot in common.

For example.

“I give you money!”

There's something about that that makes me really curious about what's going on inside your head.

I definitely didn't ask what gift to give to Mina,

I asked what girls like.

By the way, I want to receive money this year.

Mina's birthday is also in summer, so let's remember it.

“I’m going to give it to my little sister.”

“But wouldn’t money be enough?”

Well, maybe it would be better to just tell them to buy what they want.

But I don't feel like just giving it away. Should I make a bouquet of flowers out of banknotes?

A bouquet of flowers for my little sister. Why me? I ask myself.

But the envelope isn't cool.

“Is that a little true? Well, even if you have money, you might not have anything to buy around you.”

"ah."

I didn't think of that.

Sure, it could be true since we live in a pretty remote place.

It's not like Bosong is the type of person who likes to go out.

“Clothes? Cosmetics? Oh, but since you’re an elementary school student, cosmetics might be a bit much.”

“Ugh.”

Mina was seriously thinking about what I was saying, even groaning.

And not long after that.

“Give up! I don’t know!! I thought about it a lot and now I’m hungry!!!”

“Do you understand, Unnie Chunja?”

“I don’t know the tastes of a child less than half my age.”

He declared his surrender proudly. Then there's nothing we can do.

I couldn't remember it either, so I don't plan on criticizing others for not being able to remember it.

"Sorry!"

“No, thanks for helping me.”

“But let me tell you one thing.”

“What is it?”

“I think any gift you give me would be good.”

As she said that, Mina had a big smile on her face.

And then.

“Then I would like to be compensated for the time I spent.”

“Okay. Do you need anything?”

“Haha. Of course.”

“My gift, please give it as an MP3.”

Just now you said anything was fine, Mina.

“I want to listen to some music.”

“Should I give you the radio at home?”

It's a model that even lets you insert a CD.

“Oh, I had that, but it was stolen.”

"why?"

“Some strange person got angry...”

“Weird guy? Why on earth?”

For a child who is already feeling unwell, and for a child who finds hospital life very boring.

Why on earth did he get angry?

Even I, who listen to this, get angry.

“I was bored at 4 in the morning, so I just listened to some rock ballads.”

“What song?”

"thorn."

"oh."

“I think I sing well.”

With the right song selection, you even sang passionately. Oh my gosh.

Bosong also played the melodeon at 4 in the morning.

Because the door was locked, I couldn't stop it. I really couldn't hit it.

And that morning.

“Oppa! Thief! There must be a thief!”

“Who is knocking on my door in the middle of the night..!!”

“Brother, why are you touching my face? It’s not hurt.”

“Why is the ball squealing!!!”

After that, I put the melodeon in a high place out of reach.

As expected, my eye for people is accurate. The two of you have similar points.

“Next time, try lowering your voice.”

“Oh, so you weren’t one to accept the female vocal version?”

Now that I think I've heard enough answers, it's time to play with Mina.

After having a small talk with Mina about what the problem might have been, I returned home.

And that night.

I realized that anything is the hardest order.

Mina's answer was ultimately of no help.

Eventually, as the days passed and I arrived at school, I still had a hard time making a decision.

What should I do? If I just gloss over it, he'll be quite angry.

In a house where there are only two of us, I don't want things to become bleak.

As I was thinking about it, the bell signaling lunch time rang.

I got up from my seat as usual and headed to the library.

And the moment I was about to open the library door.

"ah."

"ah."

At the same time, I grabbed the handle with a girl. She was a girl I often saw in the library.

I don't know the name. I glanced at the name tag. Now I know. It's An So-mi.

I had a hard time seeing the name tag because I was wearing a cardigan over my uniform.

By the way, isn't that cardigan a little big?

It looks like it's about a size too big. Maybe it's an inherited piece of clothing.

The loose wrist part of the cardigan strangely catches the eye, covering half of the hand.

Cardigan, it's a better piece of clothing than I thought.

“Where did you buy those clothes?”
“... ...?”

In response to my question, Somi looked around.

And then he looks me in the eye again. No, he looks down.

“I, I, don’t know...”

He spoke in a very small voice, almost too small to be heard.

So I couldn't hear it well.

“What? Say it one more time.”

“Mom, mom, I don’t know, la...”

“Just one last time.”

“Mo, uh, ra, ah...”

“A little more force!”

“... ...”

Ah. It's broken. We just met.

Like a broken machine, Somi trembled and turned her back on me and tried to run away.

However, the hallway was more slippery than I thought, so I fell before I could get very far.

I feel sick.

“...Ah.”

"are you okay?"

I tried to approach Somi, who had fallen, and ask if she was okay.

But when something caught my eye, I couldn't help but reach out to Somi as if I was possessed.

“Uh, uh, ah?”

The hand extended towards Somi.

“Oh, you’re not hurt, are you?”

It passed right past Somi's face and reached her back.

And after grabbing something, he used force to snap it off.

It was a taxi.

“Because this is attached.”

"...uh?"

Oh, luckily I know this store.

The price isn't bad either.

“I took it off without permission...”

Before I could say anything.

“Waaaaaaah!!”

This time, Somi didn't fall and ran away successfully.

It was so fast that it had already disappeared from sight.

Somi, Somi. Let's remember that. I'll have to bring you a drink later.

Of course, I couldn't meet Somi after that.

“Heeeeeeeeee!!”

Even if we meet, he's busy running away as soon as he sees me.

Until I graduated from middle school, this was the first and last time we had a conversation.

Still, thanks to you.

“Now, a present.”

“Thank you, brother! What is this?”

"cardigan."

“Cardigan? Was there such a game?”

"clothes."

“Aha. This time it’s not a game?”

“You don’t like it?”

“...No! My brother is the best!”

I was able to get through Children's Day safely.

“But this is a little big for me. It’s loose.”

“That’s good.”

“Oh. Definitely. I’m cute.”

“I’ll buy you something better next time.”

“Then buy me headphones!”

And I realized that there is a good way to do this: ask in advance.

“Auntie, she’ll be here soon too.”

“Wow! Aunt Angja too?”

“Oh. It’s been a while since the whole family got together to eat.”

Yes, I was able to spend this Children's Day safely.

『The only downside is that the game name is hard to remember 』

💎 First impressions of the game

Do you often buy games from the Stove Store?

I still buy them often. I usually buy games in the 10,000 to 30,000 won price range with a discount.

In fact, the genre that Stove mainly focuses on is usually called bishoujo dating simulation, or MIYEONSHI.

They provide a lot of support to developers, and they often come out as Stove Only.

But I still try to buy games from other genres whenever possible .

Even though the Stove Store has a wide variety of games, it's not uncommon for them to go unnoticed.

(Actually, it may just be me who thinks this way... but it's sad to see that there aren't many reviews.)

So I had quite high expectations for the game I'm reviewing today.

This is because it is a game that has received high ratings not only on Stove but also on domestic and international gaming webzines.

So, starting with this game, I expected that various AAA level games would enter the Stove as well.

And that anticipation looks set to continue for some time.

The game I'm reviewing today is a masterpiece RPG game made in France, <Claire Obscure: Expedition 33> .

※ Due to the nature of the review, some spoilers from the early part of the game may be included.

⌚ Gameplay

『 Artistry and immersion in the optimal ratio 』

<I had forgotten for a moment, but France is a country famous for revolutionary art>

Actually, I didn't pay much attention to this game until it was released.

The term "responsive turn-based combat" as described on the store page didn't really make a difference.

First of all, I prefer the so-called 'animation-style' subcultural design rather than photorealistic graphics.

So, to be honest, I wasn't really drawn to the design that showed off a French artistic sensibility.

<If you think about it, the combination of "real-time action" and "turn-based" are quite contradictory concepts>

But there were a few catchy catchphrases on the game's store page.

It was explained that despite being a JRPG-style turn-based RPG, the real-time action enhances the fun of turn-based battles .

If you've enjoyed traditional turn-based RPGs, this explanation might seem quite foreign to you.

It's turn-based, but there are real-time elements? You might think, "Isn't this just a side system added for promotional purposes?"

Of course, it is quite difficult to mix these combinations well.

But, this game makes it that difficult. And it does it in a pretty tasty way.

This part related to this combination is a pretty important point, so let's talk about it in a little more detail later.

<The difference in graphics between in-game and cinematic is barely noticeable>

The first thing that catches your eye when you start playing the game is the graphics.

After a simple cinematic graphic appears, you can immediately control the character.

As the game was developed with Unreal 5, you can fully enjoy the visual pleasure from the start.

However, I was still concerned that there might be some difference between the cinematic and in-game scenes.

In my experience actually playing the game, I liked how the in-game customization was actively reflected in the cinematics.

In effect, the in-game is cinematic.

Even taking my personal tastes into account, I found it quite appealing.

<Basically turn-based, but there are elements that require timing>

<You can attack more efficiently by utilizing a system called QTE>

Now let's talk about the combat style.

As I mentioned before, this game follows the JRPG style of turn-based combat .

This method has the characteristic that things to do during my turn and my opponent's turn are determined separately, and progress is made unilaterally during each person's turn.

But in this game, there is a way to respond to your opponent's turn.

On the other hand, there are additional ways to do something other than simply choosing an action during my turn.

This part is implemented as a real-time system using 'timing', which is called QTE.

Even when attacking, if you press the button at the optimal timing, you can perform a much more powerful attack.

<High risk, high return betting system>

You can respond even when your opponent attacks by parrying and evading.

Evasion is simply avoiding an enemy's attack , while parrying is the equivalent of parrying in other games .

If you are quick-witted, you may have noticed that it is much more difficult to use because the timing for parrying is tighter than for evading.

If you succeed in striking, the reward is certain because you can inflict great damage to your opponent.

Although it carries a high level of risk, the corresponding high damage is attractive.

"

Avoiding low risk and low return

High risk high return betting

"

However, the timing of the strike is not as easy as you might think.

I also tried it a few times during the first combat tutorial and felt like it wasn't working, so I made evasion my main skill.

However, if you gradually gain courage and get used to the timing of your strikes, the battle itself becomes more fun.

It's really amazing how, even when you fail, you end up actively using the kicking system in a strange and natural way.

Depending on the difficulty level, it's also fun to decide which method you want to get used to .

<Faithfully follows the JRPG growth system>

Finally, let's take a look at the growth system.

As I was playing the game, I felt that the unique French sensibility and atmosphere was very alive, so I thought that there might be something unique about the growth system as well.

But despite such concerns, the game system itself follows the JRPG principles very well.

From the part where you acquire skills using skill points, to the ability score system commonly called 'stats'.

From weapon customization to proficiency systems that match your stats... It's a composition that will be satisfying enough for those who like RPGs.

In addition, there are special effects called Pictos and a lasting effect system called Luminar .

It's fun to learn about each thing while playing the game, so I recommend experiencing it yourself.

📌 Game Review

『Surprisingly, it's not Japan

A masterpiece JRPG from a new French game company .

While playing this game, I could fully experience why it was described as a newly evolved JRPG.

Beyond the simple turn-based RPG style, defense and attack are strengthened according to timing.

And the balance between the game's difficulty and the carefully tuned difficulty to fit this system is awesome.

And the game that often comes to mind while playing this game is the Final Fantasy series.

Among them, the Papan 10 and Papan 15 series came to mind a lot.

I think it was because it was the series that best utilized the traditional JRPG style among existing games and was successful.

So, I thought that a turn-based system that could increase the user's playing experience would appear in Japanese game companies, but

It was a refreshing shock that it could come from a French game company, and a new one at that.

Many new attempts are often blocked by censorship, capital, or other circumstances.

I hope that many games that provide good experiences like this will be released in the future.

This is a JRPG that is like a work of art, painstakingly created by French craftsmen, “Claire Obscur: Expedition 33” !
