"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has gotten a lot of comparisons to classic turn-based Final Fantasy games since before it launched back in April. Sandfall Interactive's RPG has been such a runaway success that people are asking Square Enix if it might signal to the storied developer that Final Fantasy should go back to its turn-based roots for Final Fantasy XVII ."
"The artwork was made by both Square Enix creative director Tetsuya Nomura and Sandfall Interactive art director Nicholas Maxson-Francombe, and features Clair Obscur leads Gustave and Maelle in Nomura's style, while Maxson-Francombe draws Cloud and Aerith from Final Fantasy VII. Both pairs have swapped outfits, so we see Gustave in Cloud's iconic SOLDIER uniform and Maelle in Aerith's dress and jacket, and Cloud and Aerith are seen wearing Expedition 33 uniforms."
Sandfall Interactive's Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has drawn comparisons to classic turn-based Final Fantasy games and achieved notable success. Sandfall and Square Enix held an exchange of ideas in July and collaborated ahead of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade's Switch 2 launch. Tetsuya Nomura and Nicholas Maxson-Francombe produced new official artwork swapping each studio's characters and visual styles. Gustave and Maelle appear rendered in Nomura's style while Cloud and Aerith are drawn wearing Expedition 33 uniforms. The images show Gustave in Cloud's SOLDIER uniform and Maelle in Aerith's dress and jacket. Fans speculate about possible in-game crossover outfits.
