This includes being able to run fashion shows and create your own clothes. It’s hilarious, and so dumb.Īfter a couple of hours of doing these various odd jobs, more in-depth vocations appear. Just like any good club, it featured live entertainment, but amazingly, its band didn’t have any actual instruments - it was an “air band.” I must’ve watched the cutscene of this three piece rocking out as if they were on Scrubs about 20 times. There’s a lot of small distractions, but my favorite was a nightclub that I ended up visiting frequently. There are well over a hundred citizens in Beaumonde, each with their own personality traits, and talking with them will often unlock either new items to use or teach the player about the locations in the town. When I wasn’t working in the shop, I was exploring the streets of Beaumonde City. A little context goes a long way, and these moments stood out from the otherwise monotonous work. Having to pick out red pants for someone because they spilled spaghetti on their blue jeans is a lot more fun than just filling a request for red pants. A lot of these were dumb, but still really charming. What I really enjoyed was that sometimes customers would come in with a specific story, and tell me why they needed a new outfit. Nintendo teases something incredible, but that’s all it is - a tease. On one hand, I’m so glad that they came up with such a wild reason to get the player setup as a store owner, but I’m also disappointed that more wasn’t done with the idea. The game then brushes aside the fact that you’re in another dimension, but the opening was so out there and baffling that I really don’t know how to feel about it. One thing leads to another, and once you travel to the other dimension (and presumably become much shorter) you start working at the fashion store with your friend. Neat!” The actual truth is even crazier, as the girl is actually from another dimension and the dollhouse is essentially the gate to it. While my initial thought was, “Oh, I’m going to design clothes for little tiny people. After doing so, a small five inch tall girl walks out of the dollhouse as if this was The Borrowers. The character you create (which has to be female for whatever reason) has instructions to use a key on their childhood dollhouse.

Unlike previous games, though, Fashion Forward has a completely ridiculous premise to get you from a regular person to store manager.

Much like its predecessors, I quickly found myself running a fashion boutique within minutes of starting the game.
