Want a French-made RPG that takes inspiration from Japanese RPGs and was actually made by a team of 30? Edge of Memories should scratch that itch

To be honest at first I was really on board with the French-made RPGs that take inspiration from Japanese RPGs and were actually made by a team of 30, but the genre seems overused. Currently looking for an Indian-made RPG that takes inspiration from French RPGs and was actually made by a team of 2.5 million. Game looks nice though
For me, French video games are associated with companies like Microids and games/series like Syberia, Post Mortem and Road to India.
I have played a good dozen of Microids games. I never really think about were a game publisher is located, however Microids in my head will always be associated with their game adaptations of French/Belgian comics like Asterix & Obelix
I would say I care less about the publisher, but the developer being from a given country can be interesting in terms of motifs and gameplay style.
A lot of Microids developed games have themes related to French culture. (Post Mortem, the Fort Boyard games). And of course Asterix & Obelix (never played the games even though I have most of the comics).

So... why does it present like a pseudo-FF pretty-prince(ss) in some Disney-perfect dreamland of MMO palette & micro-matte textures w/ pets & other YA theming?
