Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an innovative JRPG-style game, developed in France, that embraces the genre while introducing its own distinct elements. The game cleverly maintains traditional JRPG features while allowing players to explore narrative and gameplay dimensions that set it apart from typical entries in the genre.
One of the hallmark features is the vast array of unlockable outfits and costumes for your characters. For those who appreciate a touch of flair and style as they journey through the game, there are plenty of costume options to discover. Each costume not only offers a visual appeal but also enhances the immersive experience of the game’s more serious tone.
While colorful and whimsical outfits can be entertaining, they can sometimes disrupt the otherwise serious atmosphere, particularly during potent story moments. Therefore, in this list of top outfits, you won’t find quirky choices like Monoco in a Speedo or Sciel with a baguette. Instead, we’ll focus on the most fitting and aesthetically pleasing ensembles that blend seamlessly into the game’s narrative.
Be aware that some selections may include minor story hints; thus, spoiler-sensitive players should tread lightly.
11.Potato
Sack Of Potatoes
This option arguably bends the rule on wacky choices, as Sakapatate fits thematically within the game’s world. After vanquishing each Sakapatate enemy in Gestral Village, players can dress their characters—Lune, Gustave, and Maelle—in these amusing outfits. While their comically oversized nature might seem silly, it can actually enhance your interaction with the quirky Gestrals that populate the town.
The comfort level of this outfit is debatable; it resembles a giant mattress, which could provide unexpected napping benefits during your adventures.
10.Mermaid
Dancing On My Own
As one of the two Axons that players must conquer to uncover The Paintress, Sirène captures the essence of a mesmerizing dancer. Lune acquires this distinctive outfit, mirroring Sirène’s dress, slightly downsized, which suits her character perfectly based on the context provided around this boss fight.
Lune embodies the spirit and graceful nature of a dancer, making the Sirène outfit an ideal representation of her personality within the world of Clair Obscur.
9.Civilian
For The Streets
While not particularly exciting, the Civilian outfit collection gives players insight into how the characters might present themselves in everyday life. Monoco stands out in this selection, donning a sharp white suit ready for a night out.
The rest of the ensemble captures a relaxed vibe, suitable for your fantasy indie band, showcasing a departure from their heroic attire. While it may seem impractical for adventuring, it adds depth by suggesting a backstory where the characters were abruptly thrust into their current quests.
8.Clea
Like A Boss
This outfit, while open to selection by players, symbolizes a climax late in the game, hinting at Maelle’s deserved prominence.Clea provides one of the toughest challenges, making this outfit choice an exciting moment in gameplay, allowing players to steal the style from formidable foes.
Moreover, Sciel’s hair option can resemble Clea’s style, adding to the cool aesthetics of this captivating ensemble.
7.Renoir’s Suit
Formal Business Attire
Verso’s acquisition of Renoir’s suit offers layers of narrative significance. Encountering Renoir—one of your most formidable adversaries—earlier in the tale adds depth to this outfit’s importance. His stylish, high-quality suit looks sharp, providing an impressive costume choice for Verso that maintains the game’s glamorous vibe.
6.Dancer
You’re Glowing
The term Danseuse, meaning “dancer”in English, perfectly characterizes this enchanting outfit collection. Offering options for multiple characters allows for coordinated aesthetics among your team, enhancing the unity of your party.
This outfit, with its flowing design and striking accents, is visually captivating, making it a fan favorite. Despite narrowly missing out on a top five spot, it competes closely with the outstanding costumes featured in the higher ranks.
5.Clair
See The Light
Unique to Verso, the Clair outfit radiates a sense of purity and sophistication. From the regal ruffled cuffs to the distinct wing embellishment, this ensemble emphasizes elegance, particularly when paired with Verso’s white hair option.
This outfit serves an artistic purpose, aligning beautifully with the game’s themes of light and dark in its narrative. As Verso transitions from darker moments to embody hope, this outfit serves as a testament to his character arc.
4.Obscur
Before The Dawn
Complementing Verso’s bright ensemble is Maelle’s Obscur outfit, which captures the darker aspects of her character. The contrasting wing decoration mirrors the duality present in the game’s title, Clair Obscur.
While Maelle may initially appear too gentle for such a dark outfit, this ensemble reflects her transformation throughout the game’s narrative, enhancing her character depth and visual intrigue.
3.Pilgrim
Soul Of Cinder
Verso’s Pèlerin outfit stands out as the most strikingly “metal” aesthetic in the game, drawing parallels to renowned titles in the Soulslike genre. The outfit draws inspiration from the **Soul Of Cinder**, encapsulating the essence of bravery and determination.
This outfit not only represents Verso’s character growth but also pairs excellently with the Danseuse options for a cohesive and visually stunning party presentation.
2.Expedition
For The Squad
The Expedition outfit serves as the initial attire for all characters on your team, presenting a cohesive yet distinct look for every member. This uniform not only enhances team spirit but also emphasizes their roles as brave adventurers.
Each outfit is uniquely tailored to fit individual styles while maintaining harmony with the entire team’s aesthetic. This level of attention to detail in team uniforms is quite rare in JRPGs, reminiscent of the S. E.E. S.outfits from Persona 3, ensuring players feel connected to their characters as they embark on their journey.
