Today I googled the meaning of the song “Alicia” in Clair Obscur and it reminded me of my best friend who is no longer with me.
All the songs in the game have meanings. “Gustave” is another song that I lament about. It tells of how I feel about the important people in my life who are no longer with me.
This game has such intricate story. I know these characters are fictional. As the fox in Le Petite Prince says, “if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world… I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Other steps send me hurrying back underneath the ground. Yours will call me, like music, out of my burrow.”
Try dodging over parrying. Much more forgiving. Not nearly as precise. You can dodge most attacks the first time just by waiting to see when the attack is going to hit/land after the windup. I’d say by the end, I was dodging about 80-90% of the attacks, even from things I had never seen before just because the wind-up system is fairly predictable. Once you get the hang of it, dodging is super easy.
