CLAIR OBSCUR: Expedition 33 scrapped two final scenes after realizing that they were “awful”
As discovered by PC Gamer, director Guillaume Broche spoke to Behindothevoice and revealed that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33Endings could have been very different had two scenes that have not been cut. The first scrapped stage came just before players made their final choice between Maelle and Verso, where the couple spoke over each other and failed to listen to the other. According to Broche, author Jennifer Svedberg-yen expressed his concern, but the director believed in his vision and said “I thought it was fantastic and very innovative … I was like” no no, it will work, trust me. “We did the Mocap session for it and I realized it was awful, as very bad.”
The other scrapped scene came under Maelles Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 final. Broche said “We had an older version that we liked but wasn't the best. Then we had a new version that the actors taught us. We played the new version under Mocap, and it didn't work at all. During the stage there was no feeling.” Instead, Broche asked character resistance actor Charlotte Hoepffner and Maxence Cazorla to learn the old version in 30 minutes, which was “1,000 times better” and “saved the end.”
With Clair Obscur: Expedition 33Emotional moments, it's no surprise that less is more. During the interview, Broche said that “I really like scenes with very little dialogue – like even Gommage, which is one of the most important ones, there are two lines with dialogue in it. I find it more difficult, but more gratifying, to make a scene that transfers a lot with as little dialogue as possible.” He also pointed out that the closures pay massively, even though he had no dialogue and claimed: “I think it was a very bold move that could have gone completely wrong. I am very happy that it did not.”
