Guillaume Broche, the Creative Director of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, has called Persona 5 the best game in the world for its battle system and user interface (UI) design. In an interview with Den Fami Nico Gamer on May 22, 2025, Broche shared his admiration for the hit RPG from Atlus.
“I think Persona 5 is the best game in the world when it comes to battle depictions and UI design,” Broche said. He was inspired by the game’s dramatic camera changes during battles, which make every move feel like a scene from a movie.
The stylish menus and smooth flow of Persona 5’s combat left a big mark on Broche while creating Expedition 33.
This praise highlights why Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has a flashy, cinematic combat system, with dynamic camera angles and a polished UI. Fans of both games can see Persona 5’s influence in Expedition 33’s turn-based battles.
