the english narration for these things really does a great job of underscoring how stupid video games are

After letting it settle a little Iām not quite as excited about Fashion Dreamer. Based on the trailer it seems to be fully about runway+ interacting with other players online. This would bring it in line with similar mobile games that have been eating Girls Modeās lunch for years now. Unfortunately the part of Girls Mode that really appealed to me were the adventure elements, and with the game world looking as abstract as it does in that trailer I donāt know if Fashion Dreamerās going to have that.
I guess one bonus of focusing on āstyleā vs āoperating a boutiqueā is that Fashion Dreamer might not quite so heavily incentivize you to exactly hit a customerās budget like past games. I canāt count the number of times I sold some poor dear a handbag with their outfit not because I thought they needed it, but because otherwise Iād just be leaving that money on the table.

so like is the new splatoon thingā¦ just an alternate hub world ported over from splatoon 1, basically? thatās all i really got out of it. they even went out of their way to assure us the shops would hold the exact same stuff in both hubs
there must be more to it than that

yeah i was real bewildered too, thought for sure they were gonna say a campaign thing attached to it but instead thatās a separate thing?

I got the impression āside orderā/wave 2 was gonna be the dlc campaign thing a la Spl2oonās octo expansion and yeah i donāt see the point of there being a new hub unless theyāre stealthily adding new levels in that, or uh, bringing back more maps

Iām feeling pretty tempted to get back into Etrian Odyssey. I canāt imagine the mapping feeling anywhere near as satisfying as it did on the DS though. On Switch it might even be a chore. I guess itās good they added auto-mapping, but even that would feel like a very enjoyable part of the game was scooped out.

Iām a huge Etrian Odyssey fan but I always felt the manual mapping wasnāt particularly key to the experience, so I donāt mind if itās finally replaced by an automap. The core dungeon crawler and battle stuff stands on its own, and I found its most interesting innovation was the emphasis on optional midbosses.
My biggest regret is that it seems to be a direct port of the original DS EOs without the additional content in the 3DS āuntoldā remakes. Especially in the EO2 remake, there was a new option of making progress in several different directions if you were blocked from going further upward. It had an optional underground dungeon, and it rewarded you with a chart of enemy weaknesses after beating a given type once: so you could struggle to beat your first FOE, and after that easily wipe all of the identical ones on that floor.

Prime Remastered is $40
The push of automation has always been to define everyone who does not make or own the automation as unskilled. The absolute dogshit AI voice is not going to replace voice actors, but it absolutely will result in voice actors being hired to āpunch upā the AI voices for a fraction of what they are getting paid now for doing at least as much work.
