The best of genre
There's a lot of requisites to fill when you're up to the GOTY awards.
COE33 has them all.
It excels in all of these areas:
Story: Moving and has turns and depth placed amongst the greatest;
Design/Aesthetics: Beautifully crafted mixing prime artistic styles from around the globe;
Music: Moving themes that span over 150+ tracks and fill the game with meaning and emotions;
Voice acting: Fitting roles that deliver an extraordinary job;
Combat: The very best between turn-based, action and QTE. Never feels boring;
Builds: From caps to infinity, you might discover one that fits your party;
Character design: Captivating and well animated to the point that you immerse into the narrative
Scene Design: From underwater landscape to remixed old Paris the creativity astonishes;
Overworld: Beautiful and functional, it opens up the possibilities to navigate and discover;
Postgame: PLENTY of side missions and areas that are only available/viable in the endgame. Completing them might double your playtime;
Multiple endings: Critical and logical decision that makes sense going both ways;
Accessibility: find it too hard? There's a Story mode. Find it too easy, even on Hard, cap yourself. Simple as that;
Skins and weapons: a big variety of clothing and hairstyles to find and change and even a GREATER sort of weapons that change your playstyle completely alongside Pictos and Luminas;
Cutscenes: Most of them use the game engine, so you can customize the characters for basically the whole game.
All of this being the first game made by a indie studio with most of them being juniors.
Isn't it enough to crown it one of the best JRPGs of all time? The funny thing is that it is a French one.

«Can’t stop playing»
There are few games with such an enticing narrative conceit.
There are even fewer games whose game mechanics are able to continuously reward you throughout a 40 hour+ experience.
And, there are yet fewer games whose narrative surprises and confounds from beginning to end.
This is a game which possesses all of these traits and more.
You should probably play it.

Really quite an amazing game. Audio and visuals are fantastic. Combat is fun and varied between the characters. Story is fantastic.

It' an amazing game, but im sad because i have to use a xbox one cuz cant afford better and have to play on cloud gaming which doies make it quite hard with the imput delau, but its still fun to play. Edit: Also the soundtrack on this game is so amazing and I don't think there is any other game that has this good of a sound tract so thats great.

Wow, I really didn’t know what to expect from this game. The combat is interesting for this type of game (even if it’s not really my cup of tea). The story is good, but I wish they’d given us more details. The world-building is beautiful—I truly enjoyed every minute of it. The music in this game is divine and blends perfectly with the world, emotions, and fights. The design of the characters and enemies is also really well done. The story is definitely what kept me playing. Some of the fights, though, can be a bit annoying and slow.
