    i didn’t have a 3DS during its peak so i was close to getting this game and after seeing all my friends drop it/ be disappointed by it, i’m glad i didn’t 🥲 this review really solidified that for me! i picked up a 3DS finally and am having so much fun playing style savvy for the very first time 💕

    5:18 the phrasing there, i gotta disagree with how that sounds, FoM is certainly a farming sim that takes from SV, but its not a dupe or clone, it also takes from the old guard of the genre HM/SoS and Rune Factory, as well as even taking a lot from other cozy games like Animal Crossing, rather than an SV clone, its more appropriate to say its a new Farming sim that happens to take some of its inspiration from SV, it definitely has enough of its own identity that it shouldn't be called a clone or dupe

  • @sorinsnow3232
    @sorinsnow3232 Před dnem

    1:45, current states, obv 1.6 SV is better than 0.11 FoM, but in terms of EA FoM vs 1.0 SV, gonna have to give it to FoM, which bodes well for its future

    I absolutely LOVE Fashion Forward more than Styling Star (I love Styling Star too) just bc I feel Fashion Forward world is more alive and the fact it has a real time clock makes everything less overwhelming for me (I get very stressed if I'm playing Styling Star and I have to do a girl's makeup at morning, and go to the boutique at afternoon and in the night go to the hair salon and also do any quest from the storylines), in Fashion Forward I could go a talk with everyone and go to different places an take pictures and change the landscape, etc while in Styling Star I don't feel that freedom (but I'm somewhere between the start of the game and the half of it I guess, I just unlocked Enid Chen brand) and I also hate we can't earn money helping at the hair salon, makeup salon or boys boutique. But I enjoy the storylines. And I love both art styles specially Styling Star one bc I feel they did the makeup and skin tones better. But if I had to choose I would probably stay with Fashion Forward. I also love Fashion Forward UI, it is so adorable and I just love it so so so much!!! 💗💗

  • @mamaof3kids4keets28

    I actually can not stand Stardew Valley. I do not see many similarities to the old Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games. It was not fun when I tried to play it and I immediately got a refund. My favorites are the SNES version, Tree of Tranquility/Animal Parade (they are so similar that they are equal in enjoyment), I also enjoyed the first Story of Seasons game after the drop of Natsume.

  • @KenyaBlodgett
    @KenyaBlodgett Před 2 dny

    I am a huge style savvy fan so much so that I went and got all the games physically so I could look at them like it's a collection or something 😭 (except styling star which I downloaded since there was no physical copy in america). So, when I saw that syn sophia was doing another fashion game, I got really excited, followed by disappointment after watching the trailer because it looked like it was lacking. Still, I bought the game, and I really (and I mean, really, I have 55 hours in the game) tried to give it a fair shake, but it's very disappointing. The whole game is so empty it lacks life (and so many basic features upon launch [ that every other generic fashion game has like being able to zoom in on your character to see the clothes better you couldn't do that originally which is crazy] they've fixed some of them, but still.) theres no engaging plot line, no sense of reward when you complete things. There's nothing that makes you want to pick the game up more than once ( i literally had to for myself to play the game in hopes that it would improve). I could go on and on because I invested so much time into the game picking it apart, so that'd id know why I hated so much, but I'd be typing this all day😭

  • @ajtriforcegamerofhyrule8538

    What Nintendo should do is revise or port one of the style savvy games on the switch so others can enjoy this masterpiece Fashion dreamer could been better part of me thinks they were trying to experiment with something new but it didn't meet expectations that Style Savvy had like we enjoy Fashion shows cat walks having a boutiques getting to dress up new characters everytime.

  • @EDILYshiro
    @EDILYshiro Před 3 dny

    I think because people on socials associate and advertise it so much as a Style Savvy game they get disappointed once they play it and find out it's nothing like the other games, some people call it Style Savvy's sister game or cousin even and that's definitely better. I'm just glad that it didn't release during lockdown I can imagine the game performing awfully sales wise since we were all indoors with a lot of free time, a nightmare for this game! I'm a strong believer that if they had a little story mode or plot it would've improved the game by a lot, even without changing the virtual world aspect like the aspect of social media and fashion has a lot of potential yet they didn't do much with it which is a missed opportunity! All I hope is that they will make more fashion games for consoles as we are definitely lacking that, I'd hate to see another fun franchise bite the dust ;; (Going on a tangent here oops) For the Nikki games getting attention thanks to Infinity Nikki, I genuinely hope developers really start taking fashion games seriously so we get more games that actually care about that side of gamers.

  • @PristinePanda
    @PristinePanda Před 4 dny

    have you ever played life makeover? i found it after being SUPER disappointed with fashion dreamer and cant get enough of it. its so gorgeous. it is a gacha game but since you mentioned infinity nikki i figured youd be fine with that. its on pc and mobile. i never played the first style savvy game but i love trendsetter and styling star on 3ds. i hope we can get an ACTUAL style savvy game with modern fashions. fashion dreamer is NOT style savvy, and anyone going into it thinking its style savvy is going to be horribly disappointed. i like the aesthetics and style and fashions of fashion dreamer but theres nothing to DO. i was like cool theres quests and then they just die off. then later on they finally added more quests but its so boring and repetitive. also you cant dress characters incorrectly, theyre always happy regardless of how you dress them. i also find the search function to be useless. you end up with like 500 of the same item that is all different colors but you can barely even see what color some of the stuff is. i just find it to be irritating to play.

  • @saltenspyke
    @saltenspyke Před 4 dny

    I never liked Fashion Dreamer especially since they based fashion off of social media and clicks… yes that’s modern fashion, but man, it feels strange. Fashion to me is the reflection of the inner soul and to slap social media and likes on it is just so… not it. I get it though, I really do, but it feels so wrong. I will acknowledge that Fashion Dreamer definitely had some effort on it, like some of it has some charm. Sadly not my thing, I think. I loved Style Savvy, although simple, was really engaging and fun with how you could coordinate outfits and even follow storylines of characters- ugh I miss the storylines and the funny dialogue, they were so charming. This deep dive is also really well-done, Tysm for researching and your insight!!

    • @saltenspyke

  • @chibiarts9029
    @chibiarts9029 Před 4 dny

    I actually really like fashion dreamer its more of a style inspiration swap experience than a game but its fun to make outfits and send them to other real people that said the game is quite disappointing in some ways it definitely needs more modes cocoons and features oh and to drop gendered clothes there's so many items for men I want to use on female characters and mix with more girly items but I cant also why are there dresses you cant layer with anything I admit the layering is a significant downgrade I'm sure you could have 3 layers in style savvy but you can only have 2 in fashion dreamer i don't know why in a game about creativity its almost impossible to get certain patterns why arn't new items patterns added the the gatcha machines? why are there items that unlock so late level almost nobody makes them like the cropped lace up jacket and the big fluffy boots also some of the character muse animations are.....really quite ....something

    I bought fashion dreamer, pre ordered even, and it was the biggest disappointment of the year for me!! "Oh it's not style savvy! Stop complaining!" Bruh I saw this so much and that was not even my problem, it's ok, it doesn't need to be like it's big sis, the disappointment is cuz ITS SO DARN EMPTY! I had a lot of fun doing lookits for a bit, but then it struck me, why? There's, like, nothing to strive toward, and the follower number is such an annoying thing to raise... And so unfun after a while, too. Literally the worst part of the grind, forever. Like, I thought we'd be like a fashion influencer of sorts, maybe a few things to do with promoting brands and your own brand, but then NOT EVEN A STORY IT HAD! THE NPC ARE JUST HUMAN MANNEQUINS WITH A LITTLE BIT OF PERSONALITY SOMETIMES!! Plus you kinda can't mess up. No matter how silly or weird or out of theme, the NPCs just accept it and you get points anyway, and don't even lemme start about the bloody lack of filtering and how weird the colour thingy is? Ok you want leopard print, lemme scroll for 3 years till I find one. Wait you want polka dot? Do I even have polka dot... wait, leather? ...does this one count? I dont know, uh... Oh, you want pink? Ok here you go- what? That is literally pink, why the heck is my score lower?! It counts as red? Whyyyy?! And the eggs space thingies, there so few?! The whole game feels so undercooked and empty, even if the stuff that is there is nice... when I started I found the models so pretty and stuff like this, only to be faced with ultimate sadness when I saw it was like a beautiful vase, devoid o flowers... ;-; Sorry for the long rant, thanks for making this video! Seeing the old ones... now I want a true new style savvy even moreeee gaaaah lol ( TT ω TT)

    Style boutique (the second one) was so fun!!! Literally my whole childhood… I was obsessed… played multiple play throughs… many different styles of clothing, customers will actually wear your outfits, you can decorate the boutique, outside, inside, and windows, my favourite was how beautiful you could make your own character in such detail… it felt very customizable, personal… it was amazing 🥲 also the contests felt rewarding and the relationships meaningful… literally a perfect game 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Ps: YES!!! They need to make a game sililar to game 2 and 3 … all the existing features + open world + better graphics + deeper relationships… something like that would be so amazing…
