Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is gaining more recognition, and fans are urging other players to check out its inspirations. They especially recommend playing Final Fantasy X, calling it "the best choice for Expedition 33 lovers."
On the game's subreddit, user UCA_Cash_Flow_Bro compared both projects, calling FFX "a must-play" and even better than Clair Obscur. He called the latter "Final Fantasy X of our generation."
Fans agree that FFX and Clair Obscur share a similar structure, music, and atmosphere. Both games touch on themes of death and acceptance of loss, which also makes them kindred spirits. User Anghellik noted that both "strive for a melancholic tone," and TheIncredibleHork added that the themes of "difficult circumstances" resonate well in Expedition 33.
Final Fantasy X stands out with its turn-based battles and numerous side quests, such as mini-games, which are also found in Clair Obscur. They hide powerful weapons and items for character upgrades.
