When i was a young child, i wasnt really normal, i got this game with the release of the Nintendo DS, i got a pink one, because you know, i love pink. nevertheless i got a stupid chihuahua as my very first dog, Her name was Sparkle (i was young please dont forget it). I use to put this tiny useless thing in the Disc Competition, This thing could not catch a damn frisbee when its life - or in other words my life - depended on it. Got to the final competition, was doing so well up to this point, but no.. Sparkle had failed me, or i had failed her. I was so, so, SO mad. I got so angry, and so upset, i started to bite the corner of my Nintendo DS out of sheer rage for my stupid dog, once again i wasn't normal. I then sold my dog after weeks of trying, and having to replace my DS shell. RIP pink DS and Sparkle, thank you for your service.

anyway, it was an ok game.

First, its not Style Savvy. I think being compared to it alone its not going to be better but just worse off. I kind of wish people would stop comparing it to style savvy, because it was never promoted (jk it wasn't promoted much at all, thanks nintendo) to be a style savvy game or anything quite like a fashion boutique, so i wont be doing that.

Moving on to the game itself - for what it is..its quite lacking and feels empty, like its missing a lot, perhaps something to make what you are doing more rewarding. The game actually feels unfinished.

The vitual word seems really interesting as a concept and i wish they did more with it to make you feel like a fashion influencer - but with that, there is actually no story. After the quests/tutorial they kind of just drop you and leave you be to go on your own. Now don't get me wrong i love walking around playing dress up and looking really pretty and cute, but you can alone go so long before it just gets repetitive especially when there is no real reward other than followers.

Pros:
- It looks a lot better/cuter and the modern fashion styles give me LIFE
- The fashion customization is actually good and in-depth
- the show rooms and obtaining of new styles is easy and quick if thats your thing
- you get to decorate your own showroom
- cute photo modes
- you dont need nintendo online service to go online (but need nintendo account)

cons:
- No Story whatsoever not even close to one.
- Repetitive gameplay
- Whats up with the hair/make up customization and not saving it??
- gacha...bingo..what?
- Lacking a lot of features that seem like it should be there (maybe future updates will give us something?)
- The vitual world seems empty and do nothing with this concept other than place you in it.
- clothes are 'gender' locked. And there are only 2 body types
- There is really nothing else to do than walk in circles, doing lookits for people and collecting clothes, doing gacha and bingo - thats really it other than showrooms


Personally - im unsure if i have faith in devs to wait what they bring to the table in updates and content. Though i literally hate when games do this after release rather than coming out with full content, im curious still to see what happens. I like it for what it is so far as a game that stands alone, it feels like something you can just go back to when you're bored and in the mood to play dress up. But you can only do like 10 things in the game and again, it feels unfinished.

I was a bit disappointed because back then i was so hyped for this, and although it may have helped, I try not to be blinded by nostalgia. Ignoring the other games and focusing on the main installments, 1 and 2 peaked but 3 was lacking a lot compared to what they had. It felt really rushed and out of place as if things didn't seem right, something was missing...? The combat and gameplay were okay though and first- fun and easy I loved it, it was different!
The problem I have is with the story itself, it seems to be going out of its own lane to who knows where. Its easy to understand when you do play every KH game but the ending of 3 feels like we aren't getting anywhere but more so overwhelming and kind of lacking. I'm just curious to see where this series goes in the future with the upcoming games branching out this story more.
