In Japan your blood type is treated the same as a zodiac sign, as in it's supposed to be indicative of your personality and what kinds of people you do and don't get along with.
How am i supposed to remember my damn blood type that's exactly like trying to figure out if im 5'7 or 5'8 without the measuring tape (I.. can't find it😅) ill just ask my mother. lol
Style savvy has SO much variety in what you can do as well. I’ve technically finished the game (saw the credits after the fashion show) and I’m still doing so much within the game
i'm one of the few people that actually enjoyed fashion dreamer for a while and model debut 3 looks like it's completely up my alley!! immediately wishlisting lol ty for the thorough review!
I'm considering buying fashion dreamer it seems like something I'd like as my main favorite thing about dressing up is quite simply dressing up. Any thoughts? ❤
@@darkwebgirl I think if you're willing to pay $35 (currently on sale but normally $50) for that experience, then sure. Imo games like Dress to Impress, the Nikki mobile games, or any old flash dress up game can scratch that itch for free
@@jorrdan.it’s still has in app purchases like crazy when you could dead just buy this game outright for about the same cost you’d be paying for good or premium stuff on those games.
@@darkwebgirl There is a mobile game called SuitU that is a dress up game and in my opinion, it is a super fun game and i feel obsessed with it i'm not gonna lie. It has a big purchase feature tho (gachas and so), but you can also be a f2p gamer without a problem. Sorry if there is something bad with my writing, english isn't my first language.
I grew up with Style Savvy and it’s the gold star I compare all fashion games to so I was supper disappointed with Fashion Dreamer but it grew on me since it’s super easy for my 6 year old niece to play since she doesn’t have to worry about money and we will make up themes to dress our characters up for like going to a amusement park or going to the beach so we have had hours of fun playing
I think it'd be amazing if SS:FF came to the switch as a remaster. I love the alternative styles and I don't think Model Debut 3 has those which makes me sad.
The Lack of skin tones is a major deal breaker (Dark skin blerd Girlie ). But if you do get to Japanese only games PLEASE PLEASE TALK ABOUT PRIPARA AND ITS PRECURSOR PRETTY RHYTHM AURORA DREAM! UGH I wish they and Aikatsu came to America!
I'm mixed but I'd still play it, regardless it still annoys me there's not any more color options, im genuinely used to that lmao like nobody cares which is dumb so i give up😅
12 minutes into this video and you convinced me get this game (didn't need a lot of convincing) I'm soooo excited to try it out cuz after the initial hype of fashion dreamer died down I saw it for what it really was, an incredibly shallow game with very limited things to do! I still play it to this day, but every time I do, I always say something like, "I wish they added this or that," and I remember very rarely thinking that when playing the past style savvy games. so i'm excited to see what this game has to offer ❤
tbh kinda tired of games from japan being excused for lack of skin tones because they weren't intended to be popular outside of the region. black people VERY much exist in japan and we all know how much they "LOVE" black culture out there... like yes i get rubbed the wrong way seeing how trendy black culture is anywhere and yet those people will always choose to exclude us when possible
exactly, I've watched way to many documentaries or people that are black or people of color and they HATE them there, they literally just say they're dirty, and that is the most disrespectful nonsense I've ever heard in my life, just because we're darker than you, doesn't mean we're DIRTY. and they should know that, plus being golden is the beauty standard here. I wish they'd stop acting like they're beauty standards apply to everyone they see, and no im not trying to lump every single Asian person into this it's more or less just what society over there thinks not.. every single Asian person there in Asia
I don't get why ur so mad about it... Black people aren't the demographic in Japan! Yea they exist in japan but compared to the millions of Japanese people... Like how many are born raised and speak and read the language fluently... It's not alot you don't see Americans going out of their way to market towards Japanese people do you?
If you do start playing japan exclusive games I'd love to see you talk about magician's quest! The first game got an American release on the ds but all the later entries are JP exclusive. It's basically animal crossing meets magic & it's so adorable
Honestly its such a shame that the english translation is so EXTREMILY expensive, even though i love the japanese versions i would have loved to play the english one too but cant justify dropping up to 200€ on a single ds game
I never played style savvy as a kid so I can’t comment on the similarities, but when I was a kid, I was obsessed with this game called pop cutie street fashion simulator for the ds. It’s another game where you run your own boutique.
the reason they ask about blood type is that your blood type has a lot of cultural significance in japan! but it is an odd edition for a north american port lol
Yeah considering most people here don't know their blood type, unless A) They serve or have served in the Military. Their blood type is in their Military records and on their ID tags. B) They donate blood/organs. C) They received a blood/organ transfusion. - I fall into this category because I'm anemic and I had a blood transfusion.
As someone who's never played Style Savvy as a kid but started playing it through emulators as an adult, oh my god I'm obsessed. When you talk about the progression from boutique worker to model, it makes so much sense! It feels so much more satisfying than just being a model off the bat! Just to vamp, I think it's more fun dressing up the customers rather than myself as I get to experiment with different styles. I just put myself in a box otherwise! Plus love getting invested in my costumers!
This is way off topic but in Animal Crossing New Leaf, once you unlock the island area (which happens pretty early) you can go there to tan your character; if you reach a point where you're at the skin tone you want and don't want to go darker you need to pull out an umbrella. Over time your character will start to pale again so it takes some management now and then, and it's ridiculous this is something you have to manage like this at all, but it is doable. (Also theres so many Asian people with naturally darker skin tones than what Model Debut has options for, even if this game was never supposed to release outside of Japan this is such blatant colorism 😬)
I actually did hear about this game, surprisingly. But I only ever knew the name, so it's great to learn about the actual game. Can't wait for the new Nikki!🙏
Once you do cover Japan-only games, I’d really love if you covered the pre-style savvy/girls mode early 2000s fashion games released in Japan like love & berry
i never heard of the series until 3, i bought the japanese version thinking there was no way it would release in english since none of the others were, behold my surprise (and irritation) that they would release it in English a year later. also on the topic of skintones, there asre JAPANESE people with deeper skintones as well, so its alwasy wild to me that these games never include darker skintones. i know its because of the "beauty standard" but like darker skintoned japanese people exist so even if the game wasnt going to release outside of japan theyre stil alienating people. does anyone know if the game ends on year 3 or can you keep playing?
your vids surrounding style savvy games makes me want to buy this game 😂 also im obsessed with this type of games growing up this make me want to rekindle my love for fashion games ❤
aww so glad you started playing it and are enjoying it 🥰🥰🥰 loving your happy vibes girl 💕💕 definitely excited for infinity nikki, can’t wait to see your gameplay of it 💓💓
Thank you so much for telling us about this game I'm downloading it now 😅. I agree it doesn't have the same vibe as style savvy but it's wayyyyyyy better than Fashion Dreamer. I think it's a good middle ground. This was a great review keep up the good work!
Nicola has a super cute UA-cam channel where they post behind the scenes of photo shoots and runway shows. (The models are absolutely middle schoolers)
@@dionneking8 You can do it too, it's actually not that difficult. There are many good tutorials on UA-cam about how to make an account and how you can buy Japanese eshop cards, that's how I learned how to do it. I hope you will be able to buy the other games if that's something you want ❤️ Good luck :D
the tanning thing reminds me of animal crossing new leaf. i used to just leave my ds running standing on the island to get my character to be darker. it's kind of an interesting mechanic but disappointing to not be able to pick your skin tone!
OMG are you really studying Japanese? You should totally check out this game called magicians quest mysterious times aka enchanted folk on ds. It’s like if you combined animals crossing with harry Potter. you should try out the 3DS game that was only released in Japan so it’s only in Japanese, but it has way more fashion elements.
I agree with you cons about the game! I wish I had this review before I brought it because I regret it lol. I also think the translations are stilted and awkward. There's a lot of fluff like why do we need the same photoshoot cut everytime with no skip option? Everything felt limited from the text box limit to the dialog options. No matter what option you choose, it's the same response from the characters every time. lol
It's Japanese only. I imported the physical version. I can't read Japanese so I had to memorize the layout and controls. But it's cute and fun. And you won't be able to buy any of the dlc unless you have a Japanese e shop account and a Japanese credit card.
I was honestly excited for this until I saw the lack of skin tones. I love to customize my characters to look more like me but if tan is the darkest shade then I think I might pass 😅
I’m so glad more people are talking about this game bc I literally only heard about it from one other UA-camr. It’s not being advertised and it makes me sad. Not that I’ve played the game yet or anything but I want fashion games to be more popular so Nintendo makes more better quality ones! BRING STYLE SAVVY BACK! 🫠
In Japan your blood type is treated the same as a zodiac sign, as in it's supposed to be indicative of your personality and what kinds of people you do and don't get along with.

Saaaame looks cute but I need skin color in dress up games or I’m not playing
aikatsu never went to the us?
I'm mixed but I'd still play it, regardless it still annoys me there's not any more color options, im genuinely used to that lmao like nobody cares which is dumb so i give up😅
I'm also Black but this game wasn't even goin to be localized. So I understand why it doesn't have dark skin tones

@oijosuke4780 Personally I use an R4 card, there's tons of videos out there that can help you with getting the translated ds game
@@oijosuke4780also modding a ds/3ds has become incredibly easy and quick! All you need is a SD card maybe size 16gb and up 🙂

Huh, the working at a magazine aspect mixed with fashion shows and shoots really reminds me of the Bratz games for the GameCube.

That fashion dreamer is gonna be all dented up because of Nina's hate lol
Congratulations on 5k! 👏👏
THANK YOU!!! 😆🩷🩷✨
wow i really felt that communications degree line
You’re a miracle worker I have been looking for something like this forever ❤
Even Japan has people darker than that... crazy

There is a theme when I watch these videos about fashion dreamer
Saving this for when I get home from work I know this video is gonna be GOOD!!!
your vids surrounding style savvy games makes me want to buy this game 😂 also im obsessed with this type of games growing up this make me want to rekindle my love for fashion games ❤
I love being a shop owner AND a model, or would love to have the option.
aww so glad you started playing it and are enjoying it 🥰🥰🥰 loving your happy vibes girl 💕💕 definitely excited for infinity nikki, can’t wait to see your gameplay of it 💓💓

How can I stay on this side of UA-cam 😭 I want my feed to be filled with youtubers like you !
Nicola has a super cute UA-cam channel where they post behind the scenes of photo shoots and runway shows. (The models are absolutely middle schoolers)
I have all the model debut games on my switch 😍 Not many people talk about them in the west so this is nice 😄
How do you have all three?
@dionneking8 I have a Japanese nintendo account 👍 The first 2 games don't have any english translations :(
@@LoveNotHate1 oh wow 🤯😳 lucky you

I love fashion dreamer and model debut 3 for switch I wish fashion debut 1 and 2 had English subtitles so we can play them
Ahh Thanks too your review i got this game a few days ago and i love it 😍😍😍
IT'S BACK!?
Have you played the Pripara All Idol Perfect Stage switch game?
It's Japanese only. I imported the physical version. I can't read Japanese so I had to memorize the layout and controls.
But it's cute and fun. And you won't be able to buy any of the dlc unless you have a Japanese e shop account and a Japanese credit card.
Can you make a video about ur favorite nintendo ds games
Fashion dreamer is an ok game, just not worth 54$ 😅 I don’t touch the game as much lol I do want to check out model debut 3 tho.
Omg ive never heard of it! Im looking forward to getting it, but I wish there was a physical copy avaible as well :/
I need to play this now! Are there other fashion games you like on switch or mobile?
Ive beaten md3 already and want more
You got the middle schoolers part wrong. When i was a middle schooler i used to buy teen magazines so yeah, the characters are probably young adults
Why you lowkey look like Nayeon from twice. I was trying to figure out why you looked so familiar. Also great video I love these types of games!
I got the first one and I love it even thought I don’t speak Japanese lol
Am I the only one that wants the Style Savvy and Charm Girls Club games on switch
I was honestly excited for this until I saw the lack of skin tones. I love to customize my characters to look more like me but if tan is the darkest shade then I think I might pass 😅
you should try kira kira pop princess
I tried it and i found it a bit soul less. Also the loading screens take too much.
I unfortunely did’nt like it
If I ever have my daughter I want her to be like you
Im about to play that and never play fashion dreamer again, its already been like a year, all i did was make clothes
I know this has nothing to do with the topic of this video, but you are a cutie and the GLOSS is GLOSSIN’ ✨✨✨
Would you ever do acnh videos? I would love that from you 🩷
Honestly, it reminds me more of Girl’s fashion shoot than style savvy
i love your channel!! very off topic but have you checked out the my sims nintendo games? :)
In the game the little girl with the grey pigtails may be gay she kinda asks my character out😂😂😂 and holds my character in her arms in a photo
good but WHERE IS MY OPTION TO BE A BOYYYYY I WANNA BE A BOY IN CUTE CLOTHES JUST LIKE I AM IRL 😢
…. 😅bad that has my name in the game ….. lack story music and heart was so generic
8:53 what why not world wide 😮we were ripped of the real style game what about Europe
I wish they had a physical copy for the English version 🥲
I’m so glad more people are talking about this game bc I literally only heard about it from one other UA-camr. It’s not being advertised and it makes me sad. Not that I’ve played the game yet or anything but I want fashion games to be more popular so Nintendo makes more better quality ones! BRING STYLE SAVVY BACK! 🫠
