This game is quickly becoming one of my most anticipated of next year. You can tell how much care the team put into it. Also, I already like the characters and it was just a six minute presentation!

@@mauroguzman6697 These are likely the "original" voices. The times when videogame development could be financed through a domestic market is mostly gone. I can only speak for my own country, but most developers in germany develop english primarily because that's where the largest audience is. Given that france has less population and is also less of a market for games, I assume it's not much different over there.
Good to see turn-based games seeing a bit of a resurgence. I love me my real-time action games, but there's room for both. It helps that this game is a feast for your eyes as well.
I thought after legends of Dragoon, our sacred combo mechanic would be forever lost in the gamerverse, but alas!, it has truly risen!. Once more into the fray for the newer generation to experience all of its glory!!!
The QTEs during combat reminded me of Shadow Hearts. I love this style of combat, it keeps things engaging and rewards skill. By the way, I can't commend enough the stellar art direction. It's looking great and definitely something that shows passionate developers behind the project.
Was so looking forward to this game the moment it got shown in the xbox show a few months ago. Then I checked the website where they showed what games the devs liked and it made me even more excited for it. The gameplay here looks incredible and I cant wait to play it myself
This game gives me the same feeling as Remnant 2. An incredible gem in a place that not everyone gets to see but for those lucky ones who decide to give it a chance, they will have a wonderful experience. For that, I hope the developers take all the time they need to polish and refine the mechanics, clean up problems, and improve the user experience so that the launch will be the best it can be. Given the premise, the players will do the rest. If the game is good, the word-of-mouth promotional campaign will be what brings this title into the elite. Please, PLEASE, let it be good!
Remnant 1 was incredible. The second one was quite disappointing in many aspects, at least for me. No more armor sets so gear was rendered useless, map puzzles/secrets were often way too stupidly hard to figure out without using a guide, same with secret archetypes... Graphics, UI and weapon mods were better in the second game, though. That being said, I can't wait for Expedition 33.
Oh wow, the music in that first encounter is just BANGING Edit: This game has a really unique yet distinct feel to it. It’s actually quite mesmerizing. Looking forward to more updates and info!

1:40 As they have mentioned in interviews, what is going to be essential is dodging and counterattacking at the right moment when it is the enemies' turn, This will make the fights even more dynamic and feel real-time. Very excited about its creation

this one the most charismatic and elegant game I have seen I quite a while. the characters, the scenery, the fighting style. All incredible. I already feel that Lune is going to be my favorite. Definitely a day one buy for me.

I’m really digging what you’ve shown so far. Expedition 33 is definitely on top of my short list. Take all the time you folks need to release a polished experience, we’ll wait with baited breath.
Im glad to see they are giving you lore from past expeditions seems so cool to me to find out what happend on expedition 50 and 38 for example. Especially how there are so many past expeditions before this one with all their own story
True but the story is based around the guys taking out the painter before she paints 33 where everyone of that age instantly dies if I remember correctly
@@dragoon2334 i meant like how the main dude gave a little bit of lore about a past expeditions when they came across bodies. I know this is about expedition 33
Besides having spectacular graphics and top-notch gameplay, the thing that most captured me was the incipit of the plot. These boys who set out to defeat the painter, before she paints the number of the age that leads them to death. A powerful and poetic idea 🖤.
Character run animations (especially hair) and battle transitions are still pretty rough looking, but myself and entire friend group are pretty excited for this game. Don’t rush this one out as it looks like a potential banger!
@@InsaneTestament When then maybe they should show it when it's presentable? When the combat started I literally wanted to click off because every combat animation looks beyond stiff. Being an indie studio doesn't mean shit. There are plenty of highly polished indie games out there.
This gameplay first look deserves a special comment! The more and more I see gameplay and pieces of the storyline, the more I am reminded of how beautifully poetic and artistic this game is. My wife and I both agreed when this was first announced that it would be one of the greatest RPGs ever created. So far, it continues to excite and amaze us. We love an original rpg story. I'm so excited for this game. The flying waters area looks beyond beautiful. The combat is turn-based, which I love! The combat also adds a mix of player focused actions that the turn-based rpg games need, and that is major for the genre. The skills look amazing! The Ice lance skill from Lune was so damn kool, haha. The characters show true emotions during cutscenes and combat, which will be important because many of the greatest rpgs in the genre had original, and unique characters that us gamers grew to love and cherish. To the teams that are working on this game, you've done an amazing job. I can't wait to play the finished game. This is going to be an epic adventure!
@@SilverShion Alright, let me summarise this: Possible Persona 6 New Mario/Luigi Avowed Kingdom Cone 2 Trails through Daybreak 2 Trails in the Sky Remake Expedition 33 Yeah, now that I’m writing it down, that does seem insane. Were eating good
@@FabioGrenkh There is much more titles: Greedfall II - will be finished in 2025 Bloodlines II Gothic Remake Titan Quest II - probably finished in 2025, not sure Crimson Desert - probably in 2025 Necromancers Tale
I was super excited for this game when you showed up at the Xbox E3 thing. That had me more interested than anything else that showed that weekend. This makes me even more hype. Everything is looking pretty damn great, can't wait to get my hands on it. This team of devs are doing amazing work.
This game seems to have a lot of things of many games i loved. - The gorgeous overworld animations of Final Fantasy XIII - The battle system of Persona 5 and Lost Oddysey - The Aesthetics of Bioshock & Okami And don't know about the story but the concept of a paintress that can kill everyone at will is too intriguing. I haven't wanted to jump into the current game consoles (not a PC fan) but this one is the first reason to seriously consider it.
I never really get 'excited' for much of anything, but this game checks every box for me. I can already tell you that the day before this comes out, I'll feel like a kid before Christmas again. I'm already telling everyone this will be my game of the year next year, no question. This is what Final Fantasy SHOULD HAVE evolved into, and what I would have expected for a sequel to Lost Odyssey. As a huge fan of turn-based RPGs of the past, I want to say thank you so much for honoring the classics but putting a modern spin on it. I truly can't wait for this game to come out and I'll be pre-ordering it the moment I am available to do so on Steam.
I like the character dialogue, it is little to say everything, but this peek into their possible and future interactions was really good. I felt a interesting naturality to the dialogue, the guy parroting "she will be fine" all annoyed was a nice touch XD.
I very like the gameplay feeling, ambientation and sound. One question that bothers me after this gameplay reveal: are we able to perma dodge/parry everything? because if yes it can trivialize healers and tank and so it's only big dps big number and dodge parry everything
If they really do allow everything to be dodged/parried, I really hope it becomes increasingly difficult as the game goes on. Like how some people can play games like Elden Ring and not get hit a single time. It’s a different genre, I know, but if they’re gonna allow it, at least make it hard to do, at least as the game progresses.
@@WumboWings96 Ye it's the problem with giving too many tools to the player: if you give much the balancing go south in either way(game too easy or game to punishing when a single mistake)
The Director stated that it was possible to do a No-Damage Run if players master enemy attack patterns and dodge timings. I also don’t think there will be strict roles like Tank, Healers and etc. bc there’s only 3 party members during battle, and they all look capable of dealing significant DPS, while having utility at their disposal.
The BGMs and all the music related to this game is exceptional. That alone sells me this game but man!!! character design, voice acting, all the animations (movement, face, fighting), art style, just what are you cooking?
An evolution of the Turn-based RPG that i've wanted to see for so so long. I've grown tired of the "Stand still while i get hit" type of roll based Attacks. I want this. A combination of Quick actions with turn based gameplay that make it feel fluid and fun not static and still.
Then you are not playing lots of rpg, because that evolution you asked have been done decades ago with super mario rpg. There are lots of rpgs do the same.
Ok, this looks phenomenal. Brilliantly fresh way to do a turn based RPG. Keeps all the old concepts, but puts an amazing new twist on things. I'm hyped for this one!
My God. The music, the artwork, the voice acting, the atmosphere...Everything, beautiful. Hopefully though, there's a New Game+ with tougher enemies and new mechanics. Looking forward to this!
Now this is a game worth supporting, I was sold already with the launch trailer but this looks amazing. It feels like a blend between Lost Odyssey and Nier in theme and music.
Can't get over how ridiculously perfect the animations are, especially facial animations, like half of the views are mine alone. For example notice how Lune throws a glance towards Maelle as she's saying "she'll be fine", or when Maelle blocks the Dueliste attack that pushes her back, her body tenses, these split-second minor details are what makes the animations that much more believable.
The animation could use improvement. It looks a little stiff, and something feels off. The models and effects themselves are great, but the way they move and react to hits needs tweaking. I hope improvements are made, and it comes out good!
God, does this look awesome! Please oh please, I hope this game was not rushed to be developed. Please take your time and take absolute care with both the game and the devs. I can't wait to play this when it comes out! 🙏🙏🙏
I hope and wish that there are also humanoid enemies. I've always found it satisfying to fight strong enemies that look human and/or actual human size. By the way, the purchase will be instant.
This game looks AMAZING. One of my highest anticipated games currently. One thing I'd like to leave feedback on is around the 1:48 mark, the dodges but more so the parries; I think there should be more fluidity to the animations. Currently they are very snappy and I understand that it's the style you're going for but yeah. When she parries and the enemy is behind her, it would be perfect for a short recovery animation while she also looks over the shoulder so she still has focus on the enemy.
Ironic that the FF devs walked away from this turned-based format. For a decade they ruled this genre with their top-notch presentation starting 20+ years ago. I am glad to see this new startup is picking up where they left off. Looking forward to the release. I hope this does well.
No online services No trends No modern audience bullshit Just pure creativity. This is what made gaming industry so popular and this is what people expect from games. Mad respect!
Lol what? No? This is just a more adult story using the paper Mario command prompt combat. It's a logical step for 3d turn based games after stuff like lost odyssey and shadow hearts
The "zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out..." combat cam needs either an off switch or it needs to be toned waaaaaay down. Otherwise, the game looks great.
THIS IS LOOKING SO GOOD i can't fricking wait!!! Music sounds awesome, battle looks super exciting, and the environment looks gorgeous! Legit gonna be putting in time off for release!
Though I've essentially sworn off pre-orders, I might have to make an exception for this one. Of all games in development right now, this is the one at the top of my list I'm most interested in.
I have a good feeling about this one

Then you are not playing lots of rpg, because that evolution you asked have been done decades ago with super mario rpg. There are lots of rpgs do the same.
Evolution? Shadow heart had it 20 years ago.
Ok, this looks phenomenal. Brilliantly fresh way to do a turn based RPG. Keeps all the old concepts, but puts an amazing new twist on things. I'm hyped for this one!
A turned based RPG with parries and dodges. Now I've seen everything!
Than you spend your life in the cave. Shadow heart or even yakuza 7 had it
My God. The music, the artwork, the voice acting, the atmosphere...Everything, beautiful.
Hopefully though, there's a New Game+ with tougher enemies and new mechanics. Looking forward to this!
Now this is a game worth supporting, I was sold already with the launch trailer but this looks amazing. It feels like a blend between Lost Odyssey and Nier in theme and music.
Game is not even out yet and I already want all the osts on my playlist. This game looks and sound beautiful!!!!
The Flag 48 at 2:25 let us think the game will let us see a lot of story of other expedition boy oh boy am i hype.
Once in a while devs actually create something unique. So excited to play this.
Square Enix needs to watch this and learn how to make turn-based RPGs. Game changer.
It looks absolutey amazing! Let's hope for a 60fps option
2:42 shadowheart!?
yes it is
Can't get over how ridiculously perfect the animations are, especially facial animations, like half of the views are mine alone. For example notice how Lune throws a glance towards Maelle as she's saying "she'll be fine", or when Maelle blocks the Dueliste attack that pushes her back, her body tenses, these split-second minor details are what makes the animations that much more believable.
The animation could use improvement. It looks a little stiff, and something feels off. The models and effects themselves are great, but the way they move and react to hits needs tweaking. I hope improvements are made, and it comes out good!
God, does this look awesome! Please oh please, I hope this game was not rushed to be developed. Please take your time and take absolute care with both the game and the devs. I can't wait to play this when it comes out! 🙏🙏🙏
I hope and wish that there are also humanoid enemies.
I've always found it satisfying to fight strong enemies that look human and/or actual human size.
By the way, the purchase will be instant.
Looks promising, nice visual, amazing gameplay, fresh concept, great music, words just can't describe this.
This game looks AMAZING. One of my highest anticipated games currently.
One thing I'd like to leave feedback on is around the 1:48 mark, the dodges but more so the parries; I think there should be more fluidity to the animations. Currently they are very snappy and I understand that it's the style you're going for but yeah.
When she parries and the enemy is behind her, it would be perfect for a short recovery animation while she also looks over the shoulder so she still has focus on the enemy.
This game looks absolutely PHENOMENAL! Can’t wait for its release!
Ironic that the FF devs walked away from this turned-based format. For a decade they ruled this genre with their top-notch presentation starting 20+ years ago.
I am glad to see this new startup is picking up where they left off. Looking forward to the release. I hope this does well.
We have been blessed this day!! The animations and the score look and sound incredible. I am so eager to see what journey this game will take us on.
No online services
No trends
No modern audience bullshit
Just pure creativity. This is what made gaming industry so popular and this is what people expect from games. Mad respect!
looks amazing, one of the few games that made it to my wishlist!
This game could define a whole new genre and im hoping it goes viral
Lol what? No? This is just a more adult story using the paper Mario command prompt combat. It's a logical step for 3d turn based games after stuff like lost odyssey and shadow hearts
this looks incredible and is at the absolute top of my anticipated games list. i cannot wait.
The "zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out..." combat cam needs either an off switch or it needs to be toned waaaaaay down. Otherwise, the game looks great.
I'm so excited for this game!!! It looks great. 👏 There's already so much emotion and it's only short clips.
I smell GOTY.
This looks like the most beautiful game I've ever seen! The characters are so perfect!
Game of the Year 2025
Flop of the year. 2025 is packed.
This game looks insane!! As a huge fan of turn based RPGs i'm so excited
If persona team actually innovated not stayed with the same ps3 DOOKIE GRAPHICS
L take
btw "Let's spill some ink" is such a great line.
Damn I'm excited.
Finally someone is showing Square Enix how it should be with JRPGs these days. Expedition 33 looks incredible!
Yeah I said the same thing with my post. I think squenix is eventually going to realize they messed up walking away from this gameplay format.
THIS IS LOOKING SO GOOD i can't fricking wait!!! Music sounds awesome, battle looks super exciting, and the environment looks gorgeous! Legit gonna be putting in time off for release!
Though I've essentially sworn off pre-orders, I might have to make an exception for this one. Of all games in development right now, this is the one at the top of my list I'm most interested in.
This looks stunning. My most hyped game in years
Wishlisted.
Look forward to it!
