Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 creative director Guillaume Broche has revealed another of the game's inspirations, but you'll need to know French to check it out.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 clearly has a lot of inspirations, with Verso's moveset being one big Devil May Cry reference, while Final Fantasy, Shadow Hearts, and Persona inspired its classical JRPG elements. And of course there's a good 40-odd years of JRPG and action game greats to be inspired by – even if the game that made Broche fall in love with the medium was Sega's 1988 stinker Altered Beast (definitely a guilty pleasure for some, no judgement).
