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.

The French people with British accents kills me. I'm utterly addicted to this game though.

It’s got a certain 90s Hollywood “foreign” movie charm, where any movie set in another country just gave everyone British accents to make it sound “exotic”

It’s goofy but the game is so stylized that it works imo

Shit, try 2020s Hollywood, Gladiator 2 did that shit too (among others)

Ridley Scott does not give a shit about accents and it's frustrating. Sometimes he gets away with it (The Duellists) and other times it's another reason the movie isn't great (Napoleon).
