News Clair Obscur has achieved the highest concurrent player rate ever for a JRPG on Steam.

Incredible numbers, this doesn't even include the Xbox Gamepass player count. The last time I remember a JRPG getting this level of attention was Persona 5 and NieR Automata in 2017. It'll be interesting to see how massive Persona 6 will be, if it launches day 1 on all major platforms.

If anyone asks me the definition of "party" I clearly respond "group of adventurers seeking to beat the final boss".

I don't think many of us would be attending a group of adventurers either.

I wish I could make some kind of filter that removes any debate on “genre” a piece of work is. Who cares it’s all just blurred lines in the sand anyway.

JRPG definitions and Trials Series gatekeeping is what this sub does best.
