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 Clair is anything like how people are talking about it, games like it and Chained Echoes just mean that JRPG greatness can come from any country

Yeah, I think it’s more worthwhile to discuss the game and what it does well (or even criticisms) but instead the entire thread is detailed by pointless semantics

For real, it would’ve been a great resource for hopeful developers
