This game is getting zero buzz at all. Oh well, looks good and early reviews seem positive enough. Will def be getting this.
A Grezzo new IP that Nintendo has put minimal marketing behind, and is being launched on the 3DS which is entirely being overshadowed by new hardware now. Not uncommon for a late gen release, which is unfortunate because I think a new IP on new hardware would have had a better chance at success.
They could have released along with New 2DS to give it more spotlight maybe. The thing with Ever Oasis is that it feels like this is a random 3rd party game, not a Nintendo title. Reminds me of Code Name Steam.
It's launching in Japan with the n2DS LL.
That Kotaku review tells me what I feared, that there's an awful lot of RNG going on with the gameplay. The residents and their quests didn't feel interesting and the oasis is basically the meat and potatoes of the game. What's worse it sounds like the randomization effects the dungeons later on as well.
I'm hoping they make a more traditional ARPG after this instead.
Cool game, but wrong time. Miitopia, Hey Pikmin, Yo-kai Watch 2, Monster Hunter Stories and this are being sent to die. :/ Only Metroid looks to be pushing numbers
Much as Nintendo might claim political ideas are for other developers to explore, its themes of compassion and inclusiveness feel particularly timely. Here is a game that not only emphasises the value of reaching out to other races and cultures during times of turmoil, but allows you to witness the tangibly positive effects their contributions can have. Moment to moment, Ever Oasis never quite matches the power of its message, but perhaps it's worth looking past the occasional nuisance to be part of a world that embraces outsiders as warmly as its own. If that's not too old-fashioned, of course.
From what I've read, the game really opens up after 5 or 6 hours. Kinda a slow start but really takes off and shines.The demo turned me off it. It felt like a fetch-quest-fest. Every area was very small, and the music was disappointingly bad. I liked the visuals and general idea though.
But as it stands, I'd rather just play more Fantasy Life than buy this.
I'm confused, I reread the Kotaku review and they don't mention anything about RNG.That Kotaku review tells me what I feared, that there's an awful lot of RNG going on with the gameplay.

I really want to play it, like now, but have a few unfinished games on my burner. How long does it take, can I complete it in a few long sittings as an intermezzo? Playing fantasy life made some of my best 3ds memories.
