I didn't know Mario was fuckin Courage the Cowardly Dog in this. Transforming into Bowser and Peach to pantomime at Old Toad.
Following the recent previews, I'm really pleased by what I'm seeing. It just looks beautiful and the changes to the combat system make sense.
I've said it before, but the original is a very dear game to me, so I'm just elated by how much care they're putting in the remake.

oh, any mention of teleports or something like that to exit dungeons?
a minor annoyance of the original was the best place to grind to max lvl is deep in the final dungeon, but if you wanna fight culex it is a long ass trek back out.

I think someone mentioned a QoL improvement where you could instantly exit areas.
One of the previews I saw said you can now teleport out of dungeons.
They look "fine" but are the one thing that lost the charm of the original in the transition. Which stands out because of how good everything else has transitioned while retaining it's original feeling.
I honestly prefer it over the original animation. What's wrong with the new one?
It's hard to explain, but the rhythm and sound of it aren't as satisfying. The old one is faster and has a kind of "wave" motion where it comes in from the sides of the screen and converges in the middle, and which coincides with where you press the button to get the timed hit. I need to see what the new one looks like with the additional timed hit strike though (assuming the one above is showing it without the timed hit).
Edit: Nothing really wrong with the new one, though. It looks good. I just think it's missing something that the old one had.
Haha I feel exactly the same about PM and M&L, although I don't think I ever made it halfway in my 5 attempts. But I have played SMRPG and it's one of my favorites, and completely unique in the Mario universe. Hope you'll like it!
Seeing how faithful they were in a lot of aspects is just insane to me.
This is how you do a remake. It's clear a lot of love and care went into making this, and it shows.Truly incredible stuff.
I hope they put a Pit of 100 Trials in this game. They put them in most if not all the Paper Mario games and a lot of the Zelda games starting in the early 2000s. (Even BotW got one after DLC.) I'd love to battle my way down the chain. Put the bosses in every 20 levels or something. Maybe hide the entrance in the forest or somewhere.
I don't mind the new UI. This gen Nintendo went in the direction of standardizing the UI / text among most of their games, so it's not really a surprise that SMRPG is no differenr. But I agree that it does feel a bit out of place in this game in particular.
This is one of the earliest video games I remember that made me laugh as a kid, and it was Mario's pantomime performance of the other characters that did it.
Frogfucious is now "Frog Sage".
Mmm...not a fan. I know he's the "Frog Hermit" in Japanese, but that's awfully generic.
We knew Smithy was still Smithy, yes? Kinda wondering if Exor and Culex will keep their names.
Dat music.
DAT MUSIC.
NEED.

Exor was confirmed to still be Exor by the UK site.

The most striking and pleasant change for me is the addition of more environment in places where there used to be nothingness on the fields and on the world map. It's all "filled in" with beautiful environments, which makes the world feel way more alive and immersive.
God I can't wait.
Oh yeah, I forgot people pointed out he's something of an Asian stereotype.
If that's the case, I kinda wish they substituted it with clever (albeit more tactful) wordplay, but oh well.
You're thinking of Superstar Saga. That one is a classic!
Can we talk about the box art?
Is this really what they're going for with the final box art? All the sites seem to be using this and I'm hoping it's just placeholder because it's definitely gotta be one of the worst box arts for any major release in recent memory if this actually ends up being used.

It's a throwback to the minimalist boxart of the original from japan and it's awesome!Can we talk about the box art?

This is the official art on the eshop, so this is it.Can we talk about the box art?

I agree that it's not good.
😔
The original JP boxart is also bad and this just looks so stark by modern game box art standards. The JP original at least has the horizontal orientation going for it, and Yoshi.
Not a fan of this choice of cover at all, but I guess it's the game inside that counts.
Maybe I'll look online after launch and see if anyone's made alternative box art I could print out and use instead.

It's a callback to the old Japanese box art.
The Japanese boxart was good so this one is as well.

It's a reference to the original Japanese box art, so you're not allowed to dislike it, sorry
I'm aware, I still don't like it.
I don't really care though. I ain't playin' the box
As a Brit I DEMAND a unique EU box art to make up for the fact PAL regions never got this game.
Why? The changes in the translation doesn't make it lose its charm. And a good bit of things are still intact.
Too easy to be misread as Forge and the pronunciation sounds like froze instead of sage.
I always felt he was designed to be a parody of Confucius, I had no idea his original name WASN'T Frogfucius because it's super fitting to how the character looks.
I'm too attached to the original names. Sorry lol. Frogfucious can go but a lot is not the same. I'll play it of course though.
It makes me worry for if they remake EarthBound...
Hopefully the box art is reversible. I understand it's based on the SNES Japanese cover, but it just doesn't look good in my opinion.
I love the official boxart. It's pretty unique and stands out from your typical Mario game.
- Why are the characters standing in front of a blank background with a neutral expression, almost like some kind of mugshot?
- Why are they not looking at the camera?
- Why is Bowser there? Is he an enemy or ally? You can't really tell because of the lack of expression.
The boxart already hints at the game being different and weird.
Those fan-made boxarts are a lot more generic and "kiddy," in my opinion.
