EDIT: it looks better than the last two so maybe it's worth a shot

they really try to work with the arbitrary restrictions they impose on themselves

That looks awesome. Clearly going back to the original tone and story style. Looks like they got rid of the consumable battle actions too. From what little we can tell, it's closer to the old system with the situational element added in.

Combat footage:

That situational positioning could be really cool.

Well I went back to find it and paused when he's jumping on the boos to find details.

And right below his health it has the boots icon and says shiny boots. Which has got me pretty nervous. As SS and CS both had shiny versions of stickers/cards. It could very well just be an upgrade, but I'm not very convinced.

Still buying it either way the plot is really interesting and it looks like Bowser has a prominent role. Plus I didn't mind Color Splash that much it just pales in comparison to the first 3.

Erm uh hmm...

It LOOKS cool, but I'm not seeing evidence of them addressing the core complaints ppl had with the last two.



This is worrying to me. We have a conversation with an NPC... who is a plain Bob-omb who calls themselves Bob-omb. This was apparently the best they had to show in an announcement trailer.

There's also Bowser at one point. I do wonder if perhaps (just speculation) partners will also be situational rather than a party maybe.

But given that the best party was actually in Super Paper Mario, and there it was literally just Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser, I'm not super bothered if the name is Bob-omb or Bobby-omb, as long as the writing is good (and there's more NPCs than just a million plain Toads, which was the actual NPC variety issue - this seems to not be the case).

Colour Splash is a good game, a bit of a shame it gets tarred with the same brush as Sticker Star but I do get it. Super Paper Mario is fantastic.

Color Splash is a pretty big step up from Sticker Star, but still has a lot of the same flaws.

Super Paper Mario is outstanding, I would've preferred a turn based system, but the platforming was great regardless.

Also you can see original NPCs in the trailer! The question of course is how many and how big a role they will have, but they are back in at least some form too (well, Sticker Star and Colour Splash had original NPCs... a whopping one per game!).

Color Splash was a decent game and does not deserve to be compared to Sticker Star. Although it's far from the perfect game that is TTYD.

this shit actually made me physically wince, it's so so close to what would make this game pop, but they couldn't take it just a bit further and give him a silly hat or a mustache or something

it's so frustrating, you can tell they wanna make TTYD2 but they just can't for literally bullshit reasons

Hopefully this is miles better than Color Splash. I tried to like that game but...man that battle system really, really sucked. All those damned cards and then Kamek coming down and doing his bullshit before a battle... I think it's the only Mario game I've ever played that I gave up on without finishing.

Looking forward to it. Hopefully we'll get a proper Mario RPG again like the first two amazing games, but we'll see. Not that I didn't enjoy Super Paper Mario and Color Splash, mind. Sticker Star was crud though. Also, lol, damn, that is one hell of a short time between announcement and release.

I'm really looking forward to this. The partner system seems to be built around deepening Mario's bond with Bowser's minions, which makes sense for them being generics if it's Mario literally making friends with the nameless obstacles he's gonna yahoo into oblivion next week.

The important thing is that it hits a bunch of high notes: generally darker tone for the story in spite of the goofiness, an assumed emphasis on gameplay, wacky locales (there's a casino Arabian Snifit town in there), and a battle system that looks simple, but flexible. I'm worried it'll be bad just because... yeah Sticker Star has left a stink, but it looks like it's not so much doing something new as it is playing with concepts all through the Paper Mario series and then doing its own thing with it.

And it looks like we might end up with Bowser as our Professor Frankly/Merlon, which I am ALL for.

It was fine. The toad segments were a bit overdone, and the papercraft battles kinda became a headache at the end, but I still liked it. I liked it better than Dream Team.

Meanwhile, they apparently can't make action-adventure games anymore without making them semi/pseudo RPG's, something which also annoys me...I love both types of games, but I like to keep them distinctly separate.

It's not that. You can make a completely different Mario RPG from TTYD, while still having it be an amazing game. The problem is that the later Paper Mario games haven't been proper RPG Mario games like the franchise has traditionally been.
