Much has been made of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's battle system, with how it blends JRPG combat with the likes of parries, with many bringing up Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice as a point of comparison. However, it looks like the game's director was an even bigger fan of a different action game from March 2019, Devil May Cry 5.

As we know already, a lot of Clair Obscur's story starts on Reddit, with the game's lead writer being hired as a voice actor through a post on the forum initially. Naturally, fans of the game went searching for the Reddit post in question – which is also how we found this weird video of the characters being used like VTuber models.
