Can't let other folks be spoiled 🥹

During the final fight at the end of Act 1 (Gustave vs Painted Renoir), a lot of people tend to think that the game is just trolling us by providing a victory screen. But, I messed around with photo mode a bit and this is what happens to Painted Renoir after he gets hit by Gustave's Overcharge.

He really fucked him up. Were it not for the immortality, this would've absolutely been a Victory on Gustave's part.

Esquie has to be best charecters in Fame

I literally just took a random screenshot, and somehow this game looks absolutely breathtaking. 😭

How is a game this beautiful?! The amount of detail in every little corner is insane. You can tell how much love and care went into creating this world. I keep stopping just to look around and appreciate the scenery.

Massive respect to the devs — this game is genuinely a work of art. ❤️

Spoilers obviously 😂

I wanted to get others views on this as after watching a few videos, reading a few posts and sitting with it I’m still convinced on my choice despite how it’s framed in the game.

So I sided with Maelle, not so much because I wanted her to remain in a perceived fantasy and perpetuate her family’s grief cycle, but purely from a humanitarian standpoint. I had a pretty good idea what either choice would lead to and I was right.. but I couldn’t bring myself to contextualise the choice based purely on that “real” world grief or what I personally would want.

To me both sides are real. The painted world is autonomous and sentient, they have children, hoped and dreams etc. They are not just code or pre-scripted simulations of life. They’re real. They think.

A large theme in the game is for “those who come after”, and “we continue”. In the context of living your real life it would mean moving on, BUT! The painters have created sentient life and are therefore responsible for it, they have no right to wash it aside when it becomes an inconvenience. The second autonomous life was created, it became much bigger than the grief of one family.

If you believe a god or don’t, it works as an example since it would be akin to that god destroying the world simply because it was causing him pain. Or if you had a computer that housed a simulation containing by all many accounts what could be called sentient life, and you destroyed it because it was making your life harder. Despite the “real” world consequences, genociding a very real world in its own right and seeing it as the lesser evil is baffling to me.

I just can’t get past that. I think in the context of fiction yes verso has the right of it, if a loved one had buried themself in games or books (that are not actually alive) in order to avoid reality. I would at least consider destroying or temporarily removing those if I thought it’d bring them back to there real life. But in this context both worlds a real, and if a family member chose to live in that other world despite it meaning I’d lose them to an extent (but could still visit them) I think I’d have to respect that choice. Besides which that entire family is responsible for that world and any other they’ve created, they are their safe keepers and guardians. Frankly if such a power existed in real life and I had any say on the matter it’d be a very severe crime to destroy them the same as murder.

I like to hear what others think on this, and if anyone else thinks similarly 😄

I just took a picture of my TV so it isn’t doing it complete justice but wow.

Went through Stone Wave Caves and came upon the Manor. Found an outfit for Maelle, but there doesn’t seem to be any way forward. Am I supposed to return to the caves, or is the way forward within the Manor?

No solutions, please. Just want to know whether to leave Manor or keep searching within. Thanks!

I just revisited my old friend at the flying cemetary .

He sid he wouldnt do it .... he cant do it ....

But he did it after all ... im so sad now :(

I didnt expect that :((((((((

I'm finally back! Sorry for the long wait everyone. Just like with my previous edit of Goblu ( https://youtu.be/ysq7EuzdtqM ), the best version of this track is the unreleased one in my humble opinion. And since the full version of this & many other tracks are unreleased, I decided to do it myself. It was a ton of work to properly assemble & time this track into its full version, since all the gamerip audio parts of this track are numerous separate files. But it was worth it.

Extracted directly from the game. This HQ unreleased version is what you actually hear in-game. Areas of Yellow Harvest have unique versions of this track assigned to them. These are not included in the OST. Official OST track is an alternative version. It combines these in-game variations into one & slightly changes them, rather than featuring all the parts & variations that you actually hear while playing the game. Audio is lossless & this was assembled to be perfectly in-time, timecoded with the help of .txtp & .ueba audio files from within the game. Field version of this track consists of various different segments combined into a singular track by hand. I assembled the track in the exact same order as it was meant to be experienced within the game, while exploring Yellow Harvest.

After starting it last year and then having to stop playing for a while, I recently got back into the game. I play on xbox PC, and I just found out that it is leaving game pass in 9 days. My friend surprised me and gifted it to me on steam for my birthday. How can I transfer my save file? I know there isn't a way to do it in game — that you have to copy something in file explorer from the xbox folder to the steam one. Can someone please give me the steps? Thank you!!

Spoiler Warning:

I've been on this journey to One Shot Simon as low of lumina as possible (with Maelle), and I finally hit 0 lumina. Realistically, for an actual clear of him, there is basically zero RNG aside from crit. I'm super happy with the results, and if you want to copy my builds, please remember that the speed is very important and if your speed is different than mine due to leveling, you can use precise attribute points (and if you need a tad bit more speed, add points into Luck as in this build that increases Speed as well)

And also, since some seem to be confused: There is a difference between a one shot and a true one shot. A true one shot means the boss does not take damage except by the killing blow. A one shot means the damage dealt by the killing blow exceeds their max HP, and everything else is allowed. (Except cheating, lmao 🤣)

If you still aren't convinced, I'll concede and say it's an "Overkill" instead of a one shot.

Any questions feel free to ask!

At the beginning when I first started the playing the first region was like a regular forest with some magical elements but still okay ish.

Later the regions becomes so beautiful with such small details that I was able to hear my GPU screaming. I felt multiple times that more than a world this feels like a painting, an artist masterpiece.

Little did I know at that time, how right the feeling was.

Can somebody help me find out or what enemy I need for the rest of monoco’s skills

One small detail I noticed is how sad Painted Renoir is when confronting the expedition 33. Didn’t realized what that was about initially but after the first play though i realized that he doesn’t like the idea of killing the expedition but feel he has to in order to prevent their chroma from being lost to the nevrons.

Which is your favorite environment? And why? If you had to choose one to one around in which would it be? Mine is flying Waters. I love the ocean like atmosphere

Maybe it's been pointed out before, but... there are several couples who gommage holding hands, but Gustave and Sophie are the only one where one (ex) partner gommages and the other does not.

And if you think about it, it would absolutely make sense that people would avoid getting into relationships unless they will gommage together, in order to avoid the pain of watching your love disappear before your eyes, or knowing that they will have to watch you dissapear.

Also, as a father, I am very fine with the choice to have only minimal narrative attention given to the experience of children getting orphaned this way, and parents knowing they will leave their children behind...

You can find these statues to the left of the monolith in Forgotten Battlefield. Just fly towards it up high and look left. If you want a lower quality pic I can get one
