Clair Obscur lead writer says there is no canon, happy ending
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 offers two endings, and developer Sandfall Interactive has chosen not to name a single canon conclusion. Jennifer Svedberg-Yen, a lead writer on the JRPG-inspired blockbuster, said, "We are not going to pick one. Never say never, but there is no canon ending there.
It is a Schrodinger's ending." "We never even considered really a true, happy ending," Svedberg-Yen said. "I think there was maybe a happier one possibly. You can see also in the way that the endings are edited, that one has a slightly more uplifting tone and one has a slightly darker tone.
That was a choice that Guillaume made in terms of just having a little bit of shading there. But from my perspective, narratively, both are equally valid." "I must say, this kind of resolute refusal to take a side or canonize something is refreshing.
