2 fast 2 fashionable. new style boutique 2 : electric boogaloo. style savvy: the movie: the game. girls mode etc etc it's here!!! it's finally here!!! merry 6th of january everyone. hope this cures your seasonal depression (the streets say this is a good vitamin D substitute.) but yeah adios and thanks for watching :) !! you make me want to use heart emojis unironically.
Interesting thing to note about the men's fashion section, turns out you don't even get that option when you start the game. It's unlocked after completing the main story.
yeahh (I did write that but the text goes so fast I think everyone will miss it SORRY!!) like sure as a bonus things that's juicy BUT- BUT- ITS ONE STEP AWAY FROM MAKING IT INTO THE GAME JUST PUT IT INNNN
I love this series so much! I bought the first Style Savvy for a dollar at a thrift store just because I was trying to build up my game collection and thought it was cheap shovelware. I was so wrong. I spent a solid year playing that game for an hour or two before bed and then my partner gifted me Trendsetters and I was shocked! I didn’t know it was a series at the time, but I fell in love with Trendsetters just like I had with the previous game. He gifted me Fashion Forward for my birthday one year and I love that game too and just love the fact that I own it, but it’s not my fav. Fashion Forward just feels like a step back to me from the previous game, but I still revisit these games and absolutely love them!
this game probably has the weirdest premise but omg out of all of the entries in the series this was the one i had the most fun with...... i cant explain it
agreed - even if from an older POV I think trendsetters is the best overall, I’ve spent WAY more time playing this one, and it’s probably gonna stay that way lol
New Style Boutique 2 (Fashion Forward) is BY FAR my favourite game of the series, since I got the demo around when it came out. Bought a physical copy soon after and fell in love with the series. I've gotten physical copies of the game late last year, and I think New Style Boutique (Trendsetters) is by far my second favourite, ESPECIALLY its OST and the character I made for it (Tabitha is definitely my favourite player character out of all of my save files). Probably the only good fashion games of their niche, though I feel Fashion Dreamer is an entirely different category. Also love how you drew Sophie and Callie in the thumbnail. They are some of my favourite characters of all time, and definitely my favourites in their game alone! I'm planning on making my own spiritual successor in the same niche since I love this series sm, and add onto the original formula to make it what I want it to be. At the very least there'll be no genderlocked clothing since imo it's more effort to have genderlocked clothing rather than not (especially since everyone will use the same model). Also it's a pain with the second game especially since you have two stocks rather than one and have to manage both, and my men's clothing stock is always understocked, especially with the more expensive brands.
aaa a spiritual successor without genderlocked clothing SOUNDS GREAT and YES the 2 different stocks were VERY annoying in trendsetters! I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK (and thank you for liking the sophie and callie art. they are adorable I couldn't resist.)
I grew up with Styling Star as a child, from playing the demo over and over to mustering up the wits to ask my mom to buy it. I still boot up my 3ds to play it, even if I can’t bring myself to reset my progress. The story was just so good for my little kid self, and the nostalgic attachment i have to the series is incredible. I’m still working on homebrewing my 3DS purely to play the other games. A series to remember for sure.
honestly, without the demos A LOT of us wouldn’t be here lol it’s so fun to hear how we all had similar experiences of replaying it over and over until finally getting it!!
Just found out they never changed the "ethnic" image in the italian adaptation thanks to this video💀 even on the 3rd game it's still called like that, i remember i always hated it lmao
@heyomayoo honestly i never sat and thought about how that style is called in italian🤔 but reading the instruction booklet they describe the style as "bohemien footprint with ethnic patterns" (????)
Thank you for making these videos. Its always a fun watch. As a young boy playing these demos and always dreaming about wearing the outfits, its always been sureal going back now as an adult woman and no longer having that disconnect. Playing along with the videos has been a great experience that brought me back to an earlier time in my life. So yet again, thank you for your silly videos.
I adore your dedication in doing such detailed videos for these games I've loved so much. This is also my fav game and the hair salon and caprice chalet are THE BEST HANDS DOWN. I have a soft spot for the first one, but fashion forward always will be my first choice to play. It feels so alive, returning to trendsetters after playing this one, I couldn't help but feel the map empty or the characters felt plain. As you said, there are lots of improvements and some mechanics are missed, but it's probably the highlight of the series. I've never player the last one, because of....the art style. So I'm very excited to see a video on it!!
I think I'd agree in calling this the highlight of the series, even if I'm quite fond of Trendsetters. you just CANT BEAT BEAUMONDE. I'm so excited to talk about the final game and also dreading it because OH BOY THERES A LOT TO COVER lol
Taking this video as my sign to play through Style Boutique 2 for the first time! Never got it when it came out, so I had to play the first New Style Boutique for all it was worth, over and over again. Love your videos!
I genuinely love your videos on Style Savvy (New Style Boutique, I'm American lol). I've been a fan of this series since I was a kid, and own all 4 of the games. I always thought that Style Savvy is extremely (unusually) underated and that there should be more content from the community (besides the reddit lol). There have always been Style savvy appreciation vids (like Justace's, for example), but they are so few and far between so when I saw your first Style Savvy vid it was like I was uncovering a hidden gem. All that to say I'm so excited to watch this vid especially since Fashion Foward was the 2nd entry I owned (my first being Style Savvy 2008). Anyway love these videos its great to see people still breathing life into this community (not that its dying lol).
lol i get you!! IM TRYING TO DO MY PART TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY. honestly i was so surprised to see how alive it was in the first video and that its NOT as obscure as i first thought. KEEP IT UP STYLE SAVVY COMMUNITY
I had the style savvy trendsetters but fashion forward was where my love for the franchise really bloomed!! One of the first games i ever pre ordered and sought after before release (before that games would just kinda appear into my world and i’d get them u know? like i didnt follow upcoming releases) Definitely had its problems but god was it a good game, and I LOVED the characters and story!!! wish i still had the cartridge!
Putting this in my watch later playlist because I wanna sit down and really take in this video (but omg I’m so excited to watch it!! I really enjoyed your other style savvy videos!)
only 30 mins in so far but this retrospective is so fun! of all the games, this one is probably the one i have the least fond memories of. the og was my childhood and then i feel like trendsetters improved on every aspect of it! i think it was mainly the real time clock that did it for me, as well as the shallow story.. maybe it was because i was a kid (haven't seen your trendsetters video yet!) but the story of trendsetters felt a lot more substantial. i picked up styling star again recently after years of never finishing it and i'm having so much fun! the story is silly but sooo indepth and there are so many different scenarios to dress your customers and idols for!!! loved your comments about the art style, especially because the character designer hoshino lily did the character designs for one of my favourite anime (mawaru penguindrum), so i have a special fondness for their crazy sparkly eyes 😭 (trendsetters also has my favourite art style) if you end up doing a video on it, i'm very keen to hear your thoughts! once i'm done with styling star i'll probably revisit the older games, maybe i'll fall in love with this one again! sorry for the rambling lol tl;dr love this series and your video 🫶
rambling is ALWAYS welcome!!! very cool detail about the character designer, I might check out more of their work! I actually had the EXACT same story with picking up styling star after years - I just needed to get into the story and BAM. IT CLICKED. tysm for watching :)
Loved this video and I can't wait for the final part!!! I love your editing style and humour, really really entertaining never a dull moment! Thank you!
The art style of this game is beautiful and I love the animations. I used to play Fashion Designer: Style Icon with my sister as a child, this game with a long ass name just reminds me of those times!
im aware of jailbreaking BUT SOME PART OF ME WANTS TO PRESERVE MY LIL UNTOUCHED 3DS. or, at least until i finish using it to make videos. then I'll jailbreak and LIVE LIFE FREELY
You've unlocked a vault in my brain and childhood memories are flooding out! I loved the Style Boutique franchise! You don't know how many hours I have sunk into all these games.... except Fashion Dreamer, haha. Fashion Forward is actually my least favourite of the three. I just wasn't as big a fan of the more "garish" art style and colour palette. Still played the heck out of it though. Thank you for doing these videos, and definitely looking forward to your opinions on SB3. Which, judging by this video, we might heavily disagree on.
you know what? I can understand the fashion forward opinion! And I’m REALLY looking forward to the SB3 video when it comes to people’s thoughts bc judging from everything I’ve seen online it’s incredibly mixed! But who knows - every time I research a new game it becomes my new favourite so lol (ty for watching🎠)
omg so watching this next big drawing i have. i've been binge playing fashion forward for the past like 2 weeks, just got it and totally obsessed. youtube knows me too well!
As a french girl, you prounonced "Beaumonde" pretty well !! I'l surprised, I didn't know there was so mannnyy french word in game like "bouffant" And your video is sooo coool !!!!!!
yay!! good to know :) yeahh I think there are so many french words because it was translated by English people and we use quite a lot of french vocab for no reason lol
6:27 I know this vid came out a while ago and im also not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but i actually know the reason for why the skintones look kinda worse in fashion forward! in the original japanese release of new style boutique (also korean ver) the skin tones actually looked the same as in fashion forward. they were changed in north american and pal releases, presumably since they kind of looked strange and they wanted to represent darker skin properly, but in fashion forward the skin tones were kept the same everywhere. but that also doesnt really make sense since a lot of other stuff is different in the jp version, but i guess they didnt update the skin tones for other regions this time or. something
Great video yet again! I finally have time to watch this and it's so fun to see your editing style and opinions on this game's many many mechanics it tried to fit in
@@heyomayoothat's no problem I'm going to be honest I really do like the newer art style that they went for with styling star so our opinions differ in that sense but I'm really curious to hear more of your opinions on the game if I'm completely honest even if it's simply for that reason alone
I downloaded the demo way back and only played that, on repeat, over and over again. And since 3DS demos have a select amount of plays before it just tells you to install the real game, I would play it and then keep the game on rest mode until i played it again or was absolutely sure I wanted to play something else, I had to consider the pros and cons of closing out the game and using up a play turn☠️
@@heyomayoo i have played fashion forward a lot (not the first one tho. Might check that game out via emulation) and dipped into the 3rd game. Havent finished this video completely yet due to university stuff but i will soon
I remember when i got my copy of this game i got it the day of the north America release date August 19, 2016 And i was 13 i still have my copy till this day and use the game for outfit ideas lol This game series give me so much nostalgia
The Basic shop theme might remind you of Miitopia if you've ever played that. I played Miitopia religiously when it came out, alongside Fashion Forward since I bought that game at around the same time. Specifically Map: Peculia from the Miitopia OST sounds like the Basic shop theme to me, but the songs that play with wigs and makeup in the Switch port also kinda sound like it.
yes!! miitopia is a common answer - thing is I only ever lived off the demo (on both 3ds and switch lol) so I THINK it must've reminded me of the 'peoples profile' theme since that's something I woulda definitely heard. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE 🦅
I love New Style Boutique 2. It was the first nsb game I ever played and the first 3ds game I ever played -- in fact, my new 3ds came with nsb2 installed in it, a theme that I unfortunately couldn't get because the code was lost, and a lovely case that made it look like a purse. I drilled so many hours of my life in this game as a kid and it helped me discover my tastes in fashion and when i rediscovered the game last year it made me realise just how GOOD it is. It's incredibly fun and engaging. When the 3rd nsb released I was also borderline addicted, but the 2nd game just has something special. It does boil my blood that I could never get nsb1 and completely my trilogy, but perhaps I'll get lucky and find it in a thrift shop or on some 2nd hand store, who knows. PS: The shop music makes me so emotional when it gets to the main motif. Anyway, I love the music, and the boho chic theme despite not being my fav, sounds like Redd's theme from ACNL so W. I love the rock theme (I am a rock music fan irl)
You should try out Fab style sometime! It's basically like new style boutique but you can date guys :) I dont know if its also made by synsophia but there are some really big similarities, even the same fonts. You can emulate it with citra, it's japan exclusive but there is a fan translation.
WOAH omg I just had a look and it's SCARY how similar they are!! looks like iwata wanted to bring it overseas but it never got a chance :( IVE GOT TO TRY IT. IM WRITING THIS DOWN THANK YOU SO MUCH 🎺📢🎵❤️
i've been looking forward to this video! i watched it all in one sitting... i've always hated the showrooms but now you've potentially changed my opinion 😳😳😳
haha! glad you enjoyed! and YES I WAS SO DREADING THE SHOWROOMS WHEN MAKING THE VIDEO UNTIL EVERYTHING CLICKED. I still don't use em a ton but getting miniatures does give me a massive boost of serotonin now so I SEE THAT AS A WIN
@@heyomayoo its kinda similar to the Gracie grace store theme from animal crossing city folk? or tomodachi life music maybe? Or the boutique theme from Pokemon xy... idk very familiar for me too ;-;
rly wanna know what game you were talking about at 41:21 😫 the colours of the cartridge sorta look like professor layton and the lost future but idk for sure awesome video btw! I'm a big fan of the style boutique games and I love ur channel (:
aaa i can say its NOT professor layton! dont have any professor layton actually :") its prettty obscure so id love to see if someone knows what it is before i potentially made a video on it lol thanks for watching!!!
I was never as much into fashion forward as its predecessor and it’s for one really stupid and petty reason, and it’s that it felt more fake. In the previous game you ARE a boutique owner, in fashion forward you’re someone essentially PRETENDING they’re a boutique owner with that whole doll dimension dollhouse thing and that just ruined the whole atmosphere of it for me as a kid
totally get youuu. playing all 3 from an older perspective without the "new game = better game" attitude i had as a kid makes me prefer trendsetters icl. it feels more real and mature. if they added in the NPC interactions from fashion forward itd be PERFECT
i love your videos sm including this one and i love this series but hot take... fashion forward is my least favorite entry in the series it's not BAD it's just not as story-driven as the other three? like i miss fashion contests and this could have been an opportunity to introduce adelaide as a bonafide threat to your brand!! (although she's the closest we'll get to an actual rival ily bad bitch adelaide!) but it's just so hard to progress and unlock everything because a lot of things are just by chance, like the hair since you kinda just have to wait for npcs to give it to you. (maybe i'm just salty i haven't unlocked the special skirt option even after 9 years of having this game wait holy shit has it been nine years????) and the magic premise is cute it was just so random compared to the three other games/how you inherited the shop also i hate rainbow and having to take pictures of all the colors why do i need to do that why do i have to wait until the spring to get PINK????? anyway i'll play the game again ig also your drawings are ???? SO GOOD
yeahhh i totally get ur hot takeee! making this video honestly just boosted my opinion of trendsetters, and (gameplay kinda aside) made me appreciate styling star a little more too. Like mannn even if the premise is a little different I feel like they didn’t capitalise on that enough!!! I don’t want caprice chalet!!! I want devious characters trying to tear me down!!! also yeah I still have SO MANY commission design-things to unlock LIKE COME ONNN I didn’t even get the special skirt thing until last year, and I think the key is just talking to TONS of people (i was always more of a constantly-on-the-work-grind person so that’s kinda fair??) RAINBOW SUCKZ. REAL-TIME CLOCK DOES NOT HELP. IM NOT PLAYING THIS GAME AT EXACTLY SUNSET TO GET “mystical flower power orange” IDC (and thankles for liking the drawingsss!! they were all supposed to be low-effort but I got too invested and now they’re mid-effort lol)
It was really weird switching from the US localization of Trendsetters to the PAL version of Fashion Forward. I remember being like "Who the FUCK is Evie?" And when I saw overalls labelled as "Dungarees"!? Pants don't exist anymore, only "TROUSERS." Loooool
@@tecknicolourlistens YEAH I always thought abt the whiplash US players would get from seeing Evie like SHE DOESNT EVEN LOOK THE SAME!! also SOYMILK??? THAT WAS THE US NAME??? DAMN
All i can say is that evie quest thing before the fashion show is so frustrating like what outfit does she want😭 she's robbing all my good fits can someone tell me what kind of outfit she wants so that she finally disappears😟
omg YES!!! She’s so annoying like WHAT DOES SHE WANT FROM ME!! My brains a little rusty (was it some kind of weird feminine outfit??) but I’d recommend asking the style savvy reddit bc THIS IS AN INFAMOUS THING lol
junior my son birthday at chuck cheese that person whomever they are are never bold because Cecilia indeed knows how to act civilize at my son party so if it was not for tht you would have saw my bad blood side sometimes it comes to acting mature but see me when i am off duty thanks for reading because i puts my sons happiness first not seeing his mother acting like an animal with an idiot God great
I remember pirating this (don't tell the nintendo ninja's) to get this on my canadian 3DS because this wasn't available in north america and I remember just playing it for 5 minutes and realizing yeah nope I don't get to style the men but didn't really care? idk. i wonder if this awoken something because later I decided I'd try feminine clothes that reminded me of the game and felt very neat; and yeaaaa- uh y'know. ahahaaaa 💛🤍💜🖤 oops gender gone for 5+ years now, very comfortable just wearing what I wanna wear and just being me and these games kinda helped me with that :D also I rewatched the opening to this game and... holy. those outfits on the runways.. are.. something!! :D
style boutique - the series for literally anyone who's a bit 🏳️🌈 AND OH NO!!! CURRENTLY EMAILING NINTENDO ABOUT YOUR ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES. THEY ARE SENDING REGGIE. EVEN IF HE LEFT. HE WILL BE PLAYING ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW LEAF FOR THE NINTENDO 3DS.
2 fast 2 fashionable. new style boutique 2 : electric boogaloo. style savvy: the movie: the game. girls mode etc etc
it's here!!! it's finally here!!! merry 6th of january everyone. hope this cures your seasonal depression (the streets say this is a good vitamin D substitute.)
but yeah adios and thanks for watching :) !! you make me want to use heart emojis unironically.
THIS SERIES HAS A COMMUNITY??? ive been playing this shit religiously for like 10 years and sharing all my opinions with Myself
I KNOW RIGHT??? it's so much bigger than I thought too. WELCOME TO THE CULT I GUESS?????

yesss the 'cheap shovelware' to 'oh my god this is the best thing ever' PIPELINE IS MY FAVEEEE. ur partner is a real one for that
Agreed 😂 My top fave is Trendsetters, with the OG being second. And Fashion forward being 3rd. In fact I'm playing fashion forward now 😂
this game probably has the weirdest premise but omg out of all of the entries in the series this was the one i had the most fun with...... i cant explain it

6:27 I know this vid came out a while ago and im also not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but i actually know the reason for why the skintones look kinda worse in fashion forward! in the original japanese release of new style boutique (also korean ver) the skin tones actually looked the same as in fashion forward. they were changed in north american and pal releases, presumably since they kind of looked strange and they wanted to represent darker skin properly, but in fashion forward the skin tones were kept the same everywhere. but that also doesnt really make sense since a lot of other stuff is different in the jp version, but i guess they didnt update the skin tones for other regions this time or. something
@scaritsia oooh that makes sense! thank you for sharing
Love your editing style
lol thankles
i love how the people in the miniature world say they’re gobsmacked
Great video yet again!
I finally have time to watch this and it's so fun to see your editing style and opinions on this game's many many mechanics it tried to fit in
Im so excited to hear you talk about SB3 if you do. :)
it's gonna take a longgg time but thank you!!! I'm excited to talk about it!!!
@@heyomayoothat's no problem I'm going to be honest I really do like the newer art style that they went for with styling star so our opinions differ in that sense but I'm really curious to hear more of your opinions on the game if I'm completely honest even if it's simply for that reason alone
I downloaded the demo way back and only played that, on repeat, over and over again. And since 3DS demos have a select amount of plays before it just tells you to install the real game, I would play it and then keep the game on rest mode until i played it again or was absolutely sure I wanted to play something else, I had to consider the pros and cons of closing out the game and using up a play turn☠️
THATS HOW I FEEL ABOUT 3DS SMASH. THAT DEMO WILL N O T BE DROPPING BENEATH 20 USES LEFT IDC
I just found out about you through these videos. I love your energy!
aw thanks :)))
An hour and half of heyomayo?!?!?!? I LOVE YOU ❤❤
THANKLES I LOVE YOU TOO ❤❤❤
this just came across my dash and i love the drawings in there. really good format that sets yourself apart! and of course your art is really nice
thank youuu :)) great to get some input from people from outside the community (I assume lol)
@@heyomayoo i have played fashion forward a lot (not the first one tho. Might check that game out via emulation) and dipped into the 3rd game. Havent finished this video completely yet due to university stuff but i will soon
style savvy is my childhoodddd oh my god I love this video😖
NEW STYLE BOUTIQUE 2 VIDEO AKA STYLE SAVVY FASHION FORWARD AKA WAGAMAMA FASHION GIRLS MODE 3 VIDEO YESSSS
CORRECT
I'm obsessed with these videos!
I remember when i got my copy of this game i got it the day of the north America release date August 19, 2016
And i was 13 i still have my copy till this day and use the game for outfit ideas lol
This game series give me so much nostalgia
1 and 3 are the undefeated champions I'm sorry 😩
Edit: I just finished playing through 2, it's pretty good actually
yo 1 I understand but 3 IS WILDDDD (/hj, the 3rd is the reason I made this series in the first place)
@@heyomayoo I just love Angelique 😭😭 she is the it girl
@@kirkyland1920 ok VALID 📢
The Basic shop theme might remind you of Miitopia if you've ever played that. I played Miitopia religiously when it came out, alongside Fashion Forward since I bought that game at around the same time. Specifically Map: Peculia from the Miitopia OST sounds like the Basic shop theme to me, but the songs that play with wigs and makeup in the Switch port also kinda sound like it.
yes!! miitopia is a common answer - thing is I only ever lived off the demo (on both 3ds and switch lol) so I THINK it must've reminded me of the 'peoples profile' theme since that's something I woulda definitely heard. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE 🦅
HEYOMAYO STYLE BOUTIQUE 2 VIDEO LETS GOOOO
RAHHHH😜😜
now THIS is entertainment
I love New Style Boutique 2. It was the first nsb game I ever played and the first 3ds game I ever played -- in fact, my new 3ds came with nsb2 installed in it, a theme that I unfortunately couldn't get because the code was lost, and a lovely case that made it look like a purse. I drilled so many hours of my life in this game as a kid and it helped me discover my tastes in fashion and when i rediscovered the game last year it made me realise just how GOOD it is. It's incredibly fun and engaging. When the 3rd nsb released I was also borderline addicted, but the 2nd game just has something special. It does boil my blood that I could never get nsb1 and completely my trilogy, but perhaps I'll get lucky and find it in a thrift shop or on some 2nd hand store, who knows.
PS: The shop music makes me so emotional when it gets to the main motif. Anyway, I love the music, and the boho chic theme despite not being my fav, sounds like Redd's theme from ACNL so W. I love the rock theme (I am a rock music fan irl)
awwww I wish you good luck with your quest in getting the 1st game!!!
Why did everyone hate styling star... It's my favorite
my secret love for styling star will be revealed some day!!!!
You should try out Fab style sometime! It's basically like new style boutique but you can date guys :) I dont know if its also made by synsophia but there are some really big similarities, even the same fonts. You can emulate it with citra, it's japan exclusive but there is a fan translation.
WOAH omg I just had a look and it's SCARY how similar they are!! looks like iwata wanted to bring it overseas but it never got a chance :( IVE GOT TO TRY IT. IM WRITING THIS DOWN THANK YOU SO MUCH 🎺📢🎵❤️
@@heyomayoo No problem!! 🥰🥰
just started playing style savvy 1 and my god its so cute i feel nostalgic for it already (ive never had a ds growing up, i play on my iphone 11 T-T)
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO YES OMG
WAHOOOO
i've been looking forward to this video! i watched it all in one sitting... i've always hated the showrooms but now you've potentially changed my opinion 😳😳😳
haha! glad you enjoyed! and YES I WAS SO DREADING THE SHOWROOMS WHEN MAKING THE VIDEO UNTIL EVERYTHING CLICKED. I still don't use em a ton but getting miniatures does give me a massive boost of serotonin now so I SEE THAT AS A WIN
video 2 out, utopia achieved. ive got 1 and 3 but i’ve never played FF, i think i’ll finally pick it up after this haha
wooo! please do ITS VERY GOOD (if the hour long video wasn't enough to tell you that)
49:58 I think this sounds pretty similar to some of the songs in "Wii Sports", like Bowling or Tennis - Training.
hmm its got the same kinda vibe! BUT ITS SOMETHING ELSE FOR ME I THINK
@@heyomayoo its kinda similar to the Gracie grace store theme from animal crossing city folk? or tomodachi life music maybe? Or the boutique theme from Pokemon xy... idk very familiar for me too ;-;
rly wanna know what game you were talking about at 41:21 😫 the colours of the cartridge sorta look like professor layton and the lost future but idk for sure
awesome video btw! I'm a big fan of the style boutique games and I love ur channel (:
aaa i can say its NOT professor layton! dont have any professor layton actually :")
its prettty obscure so id love to see if someone knows what it is before i potentially made a video on it lol
thanks for watching!!!
I was never as much into fashion forward as its predecessor and it’s for one really stupid and petty reason, and it’s that it felt more fake. In the previous game you ARE a boutique owner, in fashion forward you’re someone essentially PRETENDING they’re a boutique owner with that whole doll dimension dollhouse thing and that just ruined the whole atmosphere of it for me as a kid
totally get youuu. playing all 3 from an older perspective without the "new game = better game" attitude i had as a kid makes me prefer trendsetters icl. it feels more real and mature. if they added in the NPC interactions from fashion forward itd be PERFECT
YAYYAYA!!! LOVE LOVE UR VIDEOS AND STYLE SAVVY!!!!!!
this has been in my watch later for months now; hi
i love your videos sm including this one and i love this series but hot take... fashion forward is my least favorite entry in the series
it's not BAD it's just not as story-driven as the other three? like i miss fashion contests and this could have been an opportunity to introduce adelaide as a bonafide threat to your brand!! (although she's the closest we'll get to an actual rival ily bad bitch adelaide!) but it's just so hard to progress and unlock everything because a lot of things are just by chance, like the hair since you kinda just have to wait for npcs to give it to you. (maybe i'm just salty i haven't unlocked the special skirt option even after 9 years of having this game wait holy shit has it been nine years????) and the magic premise is cute it was just so random compared to the three other games/how you inherited the shop
also i hate rainbow and having to take pictures of all the colors why do i need to do that why do i have to wait until the spring to get PINK?????
anyway i'll play the game again ig
also your drawings are ???? SO GOOD
yeahhh i totally get ur hot takeee! making this video honestly just boosted my opinion of trendsetters, and (gameplay kinda aside) made me appreciate styling star a little more too. Like mannn even if the premise is a little different I feel like they didn’t capitalise on that enough!!! I don’t want caprice chalet!!! I want devious characters trying to tear me down!!!
also yeah I still have SO MANY commission design-things to unlock LIKE COME ONNN
I didn’t even get the special skirt thing until last year, and I think the key is just talking to TONS of people (i was always more of a constantly-on-the-work-grind person so that’s kinda fair??)
RAINBOW SUCKZ. REAL-TIME CLOCK DOES NOT HELP. IM NOT PLAYING THIS GAME AT EXACTLY SUNSET TO GET “mystical flower power orange” IDC
(and thankles for liking the drawingsss!! they were all supposed to be low-effort but I got too invested and now they’re mid-effort lol)
@@heyomayoo YES CAPRICE CHALET IS ACTUALLY KINDA UNNECESSARY YOU GET IT
Sophies name in the German version is Momo😭
And callie is Coco😭
@@soupsoupsoup283 HAHAHA THATS THE BEST THING EVER I LOVE GERMAN LOCALISATIONS
i love this video so much and i’m only 6:38 in
thank you johns banana. much appreciated. 🎠
15:56 I recently started playing this again recently, and I just so happened to have done their wedding yesterday... help me.
OH MY GOD YOU MONSTER. YOU ABSOLUTE MONSTER (with incredible taste)
there's a second one???? you convinced me to play the first one I guess it only makes sense to set sail again (wink wink) and play the second one too
there's FOUR IN TOTAL!!! one on the DS, and three for the 3DS (though would I recommend the last one?? ehhh)
49:59 Reminds me of Miitopia's Nimbus map theme.
OMG YES I THINK YOUVE GOT IT IM PRETTY SURE IT WAS MIITOPIA TYSMMMM
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCHHHHH
1:16:38 omg it's the perfect school uniform, i need it
It was really weird switching from the US localization of Trendsetters to the PAL version of Fashion Forward. I remember being like "Who the FUCK is Evie?" And when I saw overalls labelled as "Dungarees"!? Pants don't exist anymore, only "TROUSERS." Loooool
Also, the brand name changes, lol. Soymilk being just "Soy" now is so unironically hilarious to me.
@@tecknicolourlistens YEAH I always thought abt the whiplash US players would get from seeing Evie like SHE DOESNT EVEN LOOK THE SAME!! also SOYMILK??? THAT WAS THE US NAME??? DAMN
Wait, my game doesn't have the Men's fashion option ???
the mens fashion unlocks after u complete the main story!! ^_^
OMG ITS HERE
(i'll watch it tomorrow)
@@nify142 couldn't make it before eepy time i see. i'm sorry. (i deleted every game off my phone for storage)
I HAVE THE NEW 3DS SPECIAL EDITION
OMGGGG IT LOOKS SO SATISFYING LUCKYYY
@heyomayoo IT SLAYS SO HARD
what’s the other secret ds game you were thinking of talking about?
@@dreya3435 a secret 😔✊
Oh no. I have very gay emotions for Callie now. Prebby.
UH OHHH
UH OHHH
1:08:22 Sorry Rick, I'm gay.
yeah CALLIE OVER BIG RICK ANY DAY 👩❤️💋👩
@@heyomayoo YES CALLIE MY LOVE
4:47 :O what is the game name
new style boutique 3/style savvy: styling star !
29:49 sorry to ask again but wha is the name of this also TnT( I see you put it a lot in the video O:)
@@ats_kagre1126 np! it's new style boutique/ style savvy: trendsetters
@heyomayoo tysmm😾👍
All i can say is that evie quest thing before the fashion show is so frustrating like what outfit does she want😭 she's robbing all my good fits can someone tell me what kind of outfit she wants so that she finally disappears😟
omg YES!!! She’s so annoying like WHAT DOES SHE WANT FROM ME!! My brains a little rusty (was it some kind of weird feminine outfit??) but I’d recommend asking the style savvy reddit bc THIS IS AN INFAMOUS THING lol
OMG YESSSS
WAHOOOOO
7:32 there is always a plan b😈😈😈
SHHHHHH
YAAAAAAAY
WOOOO
I sold my style savvy fashion forward copy last year before realizing how much it's worth 😭😭😭
NOOOOOOO
After I got back from school I added it to my modded 3ds! Currently showing my boyfriend this game and hes so amazed by it 😭😭 @heyomayoo
@@blindbandit9579 awww THATS ADORABLE!!! HAVE FUN
👏👏👏
What about Trendsetters?
what about trendsetters? like the video orrr
junior my son birthday at chuck cheese that person whomever they are are never bold because Cecilia indeed knows how to act civilize at my son party so if it was not for tht you would have saw my bad blood side sometimes it comes to acting mature but see me when i am off duty thanks for reading because i puts my sons happiness first not seeing his mother acting like an animal with an idiot God great
bless you
I remember pirating this (don't tell the nintendo ninja's) to get this on my canadian 3DS because this wasn't available in north america and I remember just playing it for 5 minutes and realizing yeah nope I don't get to style the men but didn't really care? idk. i wonder if this awoken something because later I decided I'd try feminine clothes that reminded me of the game and felt very neat; and yeaaaa- uh y'know. ahahaaaa 💛🤍💜🖤 oops gender gone for 5+ years now, very comfortable just wearing what I wanna wear and just being me and these games kinda helped me with that :D
also I rewatched the opening to this game and... holy. those outfits on the runways.. are.. something!! :D
style boutique - the series for literally anyone who's a bit 🏳️🌈
AND OH NO!!! CURRENTLY EMAILING NINTENDO ABOUT YOUR ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES. THEY ARE SENDING REGGIE. EVEN IF HE LEFT. HE WILL BE PLAYING ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW LEAF FOR THE NINTENDO 3DS.
