The newest fashion mall game also made me want to draw the new clothes as well :D

Maybe I'm just used to some of the other Kairosoft games (like Mega Mall Story) where you have to unlock facility upgrades in order from cheapest to most expensive. But then I realized that's not the case here; you can go straight for the upgrade that increases the number of points you get when someone uses a facility, which makes it quicker/easier to accumulate points with which to unlock the rest.

Is offline mode still available? I saw it on play store saying offline and yet, when i try to play offline this pops up. What's up with that?

I just finished Fashion Mall Story (I binged it as soon as it came out lol) and wanted to give my thoughts. As you can see in the screenshots, the game ends at Y10 M3, and I've so far played up to Y11 M4.

Overall, I really liked it. The art style is charming as always, and it's really fun seeing the meeples wear the clothes you've unlocked. It's also so cute when they copy your shop staff's outfits lol. The variety of clothes was great, though I wish we had more input in designing them. I will say it's been a really easy game so far. There's challenges and battles after you hit Rank 10 but it's mostly a matter of waiting to raise your stats. Unfortunately, as much as I like it, I don't think I'd put this on my Top 10 list of Kairosoft games. It gets boring by the end, and at this point I'm just playing to unlock everything.

Basically, I recommend it to casual fans who are fine with easy mode and who will appreciate the dress up aspect. If you like your Kairosoft games to require some amount of thinking and strategy, this won't be the game for you.

Specific things I liked:

• They give you a LOT of opportunities to play dress up and mix and match clothes. The mannequins, the online shop, the outfit requests, the models, etc. were all very fun for me. It's so cute seeing the meeples wear tiny pixel clothes.
• Speaking of dress up, I LOVE that the clothes aren't gender locked. A small touch that I wish more games with customization have.
• There's a lot of automation, which is part of what makes the game feel so smooth and easy, both to its benefit and detriment. I'll probably put this point in both things I liked and disliked. I appreciate clothes making being automatable at some point, but also it sucks that it's such a shallow mechanic that it can be automated in the first place.
• The variety of decor and facilities was nice. When you have a ton unlocked, it's quite fun to actually set up the themed areas. At some point I deleted everything I could and decorated from scratch, since by then I had enough stuff for all the themes to plan things out.
• I know some people will dislike this but I like that there's no combos. I've always found hunting down combos and planning out layouts to optimize combos to be annoying so I'm glad they didn't for this game.
• I like that at a certain point, if you're fashionable enough, what you pick as Top Pick will decide the trending colors.
• The customer requests were cute (where they ask you for one item recommendation). I wish they happened more often though, or that you could style non-model customers.

Specific things I didn't like:

• Like I said, it was just a bit too easy. You can really coast in this game without giving it too much thought. Even the endgame battles are just a matter of bigger number win, which is easy to pump up with workshops and clothes improvements.
• A lot of the mechanics felt too shallow, which feeds into the previous point. Making clothes for example, is just a matter of finding combos and having the right material. I wish you could pick colors at least!
• The SNS thing was pointless. It was cute seeing the posts at first but in the end it was just another thing to click when the number got high enough. I didn't fully understand what triggered blowing up on social media, but I wish it was more controllable or I could see a meter at least. In Forest Camp Story, I liked being able to see the bonfire meter and being able to plan out when frenzies happened. The whole SNS thing and trending just felt too random and meaningless.
• I wish there were more contests, and not just the yearly ones. I might be biased because I'm currently also playing Bonbon Cakery, but I think the contests there were fun and difficult. The battles fill that niche in FMS in a way, but they're either too generic or too specific. A general themed contest where you can beat the other malls would've been fun imo.
• I know a lot of Kairosoft games do "bigger number win" when it comes to beating opponents but there's something about it here that felt a bit too tedious for me. I think part of it was just the constant waiting around for workshops and improvements. You can't feed your staff items, so you HAVE to wait for the workshops and you can only improve them one at a time. The slog feels extra noticeable once you pass Rank 10 and unlock battles, since they demand a lot of high stats from your staff and clothes. Unlocking fast speed makes it a bit more bearable but it's still a bit annoying, especially since you can't workshop more than one staff at a time.

Anyway, tl;dr: read my third paragraph

Edit: I'll be honest, I have no idea what carries over. The game doesn't say and I haven't started a new game yet to figure that out.

I have just thought, this is the favorite fashion outfit of Fashion Mall Story i've ever did!

It was fun, and i'm also a nerd too.

Guys, how do I get past this? 😭 I’ve been stuck here forever. It’s been almost a year and I still can’t rank up.

I’ve used every facility already and nothing seems to work. This actually happened on my previous playthrough too. I was stuck at the exact same point for so long that I thought my game was bugged, so I started over from scratch… and now I’m stuck here AGAIN 💀

What am i missing?

Update: Got it guys! Just had to level up my employees and the investment request finally popped up lol. Thanks for the help everyone!

Hi guys!!! What do you think of the new game?
I’ve been playing it and enjoying it so far! It feels really detailed, and there seems to be so much content with still a lot left to unlock.

I also find it so cute when customers buy the exact same clothes that the staff are wearing 😂

The layout…. just gonna fix it once I unlocked more stuff.

Another good game from Kairosoft! 🥹

I don't think I've ever struggled to make aesthetically pleasing layouts in these games but geeze I hate, hate, haaatte how they forced there to be walls for each theme's store. Makes me want to line them against the walls but obviously as the mall expands that makes it pointless.

Has anyone achieved any layout that looks even halfway decent? Because mine feels like trash 😭

because finishing 20 clothes is hard. too much side quest hahaha

btw, i dont know why im rushing it to "finish"-ing it, if after year 10 i can play it endlessly. (or maybe im trying to finish it before year 10? 😂)

ps: thanks for the idea on the floor thing hahaha it was a mess before(until now ig)

pps: im talking about the 1st photo. you can copy or get an idea of my so called mall 😂

ppps: i know it's 3 in the morning, so what!

Here are more detailed pictures of my mall and what I've done so far with themed areas, I'm only rank 3. Each area is 5x6 with at least one square between them. Although right now there are 2 themes that has to share an area because I don't have enough room at the moment lmao

This came out perfect timing! I’ve been watching Dressmakers release go viral and thought it looked cute but I don’t have a good enough computer to play it, this definitely scratched that fashion itch!!
So far it reminds me how easy the camping game was, I would prefer it to be a bit more challenging, but it’s still super fun. I only found out about the release the day of, and I hear there is a one piece collab coming?! I have to play that!

I can only see the Japanese version in my Google Play Store. Does anybody have a piece of advise on how to get the English version? Dutch-PlayStore if that helps.

If you bought the Japanese version, van you change it to English in the app? Not planning on buying if I can't switch...

hi! started playing Fashion Mall Story ~30 mins ago. made about 5-6 pieces of clothing but now it says i can't make anymore. does anyone know the solution? thank you 😬🤍

All I have are two club rooms from the beginning of the game, one for baseball and one selectable. Can you put down more than the one extra they give you?

Like, the long wait is over, and the english version is out in app store and play store guys!

I'm so excited to see! and to play!
