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.

The key thing to realize is that the French don't hear a thick foreign accent when they speak to eachother.

The plot has the main characters speaking to eachother in their shared native language.

Do you want that to be shown on screen as French actors speaking to eachother in thickly accented English?

Do you want that to be shown as English speaking voice actors hamming it up with their best fake French accents the whole game?

Or do you want the dub to be native speakers of whichever language is being dubbed simply speaking to one another in their own language without hamming it up putting on a foreign accent?

But all actual Japanese RPGs dub their games into English with thick Japanese accents right?
