It's been said on several occasions that the JRPG-inspired Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been inspired by the genre's finest – Final Fantasy, Persona, you name it.

Speaking to DenfaminicoGamer, Broche reaffirms his love of greats like Final Fantasy and Persona while also revealing he was inspired by the Atelier series, Suikoden, Lost Odyssey, and Shadow Hearts.
