So...
I finally 100% completed Clair Obscur Expedition 33.
I really enjoyed it, apart from one boss fight - Simon. F**k me. I won't spoil it for others who might want to play the game but holy s**t. That was tough. I refused to drop the difficulty (even though the easiest setting is still a complete barsteward as well it seems). In the end, I did around 20 hours of grinding and farming to super-level my party, worked out which Lumina (skills) worked well together to boost attributes, and then rained down Hell on that mother. I won't spoil the mechanics of the fight/story but it was a tough one, with a couple of twists.
It took me 80 hours give or take. Yeah, that's quite a lot! In my defence, I refused to look for any help or use any guides as I wanted to do this 100% without help, and I spent HOURS wandering around the map looking for items, or trying to figure out what the secret/hidden achievements were. People who have played it can probably appreciate the effort that went into this...
(Yes, I gave them all white hair so I felt more at home...)
After spending 80-odd hours playing the game and enjoying the story, the ending broke me.
After getting so caught up in the story of the two main storyline characters, to be then faced with such a decision as the last action of the game.
Probably the surprise game of the last few years for me. Especially as I don't really "do" turn-based games as such.
