Watching people gush over Expedition 33 is so fun. Honestly, it reminds me how I felt about Final Fantasy 6 back in 1994. It’s kinda sweet seeing new generations fall in love with a great story. Video games have the same power as a great book or movie. I think we sometimes forget that. - ThreadSky

game studios sure forget that when their dump stat is writing.

With the state of the world, I often want nothing more than to absolutely bury myself into something, anything but reality. Video games and reading are really the only two things that give me that true escape and immersion into another world.

There’s some amazing storytelling, music and voice acting combined in the prologue. Can’t remember when a game got me hooked so fast!

FF6(3 at the time) was life altering for me.

I know how extra that sounds but it's accurate.

I'm starting act 3 of 33 right now and have also been enamored by it.

I want to play.

Yeah, one of the nice things about a good game is how you can talk about it with other people the same way you would talk about a book or movie.

Funny you mention FF6. Playing that later this year for the first time.

Im having such a great time playing through it. Haven't been so invested in a game in a while.

Every new cutscene has me turning on the stove and cooking with what I think is going to happen next!

Video games can totally be impactful art. I just had this argument with a 60-ish guy at work. He refused to accept it.

I definitely recommend these people to play the games that inspired Clair Obscur, like Xenoblade, NieR, Persona etc

It's definitely added to the list of emotional vampirism moments in games!

Even though it wasn't for me and I didn't vibe with it, I absolutely love seeing people raving about it on here. Super happy for the game's success too!

The prologue is among one of the greatest experiences I have had with the music making it touch the deepest parts of my being.

Oh wow I had no idea THE Jesse Cox was on here! Time to look for the rest of the gang...

Also I'm my friend group's patient 0. Been playing since minute one, currently on NG+. I'm kind of terrified that I'm annoying them by constantly singing the praises of this game daily...

It's those great stories that got me into and loving video games even to this day. While I wish I could play more and experience more of those stories out there, I'm glad to see others play through those stories for us who can't.

It’s really magical, it reminds me of the first time I played the Nier games
