Hello everyone!
It's been some time since my last post, but with Fashion Dreamer coming out soon, I thought it was time to revive this blog. If any of you were around way back when, you might remember Aesthetica, a fan project that was meant to be a spin-off of Nuances, the in-game fashion magazine for the original game and Trendsetters/New Style Boutique. Before the imminent release of Fashion Dreamer, I wanted to make a special homage to the Style Savvy series of games - and that's how this final issue of Aesthetica came to be!
Bask in nostalgia or indulge your curiosity as we look through all four games in the series! You can download the zine here (pdf format) or view it on GDrive here! Once again, thank you very much to the community for making this possible, and I hope to see you in the virtual world soon! :D

Style Savvy Trendsetters USA vs EU
I recently booted up the USA version of 'Style Savvy TS', as I needed a separate save file (long story).
And I was surprised to see that not only is the shopkeeper different, A LOT of the text is changed!
It looks like the European version has it's own separate english localization!
Later games, such as 'Fashion Forward', just copy the EU text right down to using the term 'trousers'.
(ignore any graphical differences, emulator/record settings differ)
USA(left) || EU (Right)
||
------------------------------------||----------------------------------
Brand name, instructional text, category name.(UK version also support various currencies)
Michaela and Evie are fairly different people(wildly different dialogue)
Also Shop design?
The outside of the shop looks the same, But I feel like it ifts both:
More text/name changes, emphasizes character differences.
(Same idea, different tone)
Character creation is the same:
(note: the following line: "It's nice to stretch the memorization muscles once in a while" is said in both.)
Cell phone screen:
Ok, I know its a short comparison, but I'm going to have to cut it off here.
Neither version is 'clearly better' they both follow the same story,
I may be a bit bias as I always play the EU versions,
But I have a slight preference for Evie over Michaela.
Evie feels as if she's written as the 'big sister' trope, wiser than the MC, feels more knowledgeable, and often teases the other character (in a friendly way.)
I don't know what's more 'accurate' to the Japanese version, but I found Evie more fun :)

Random idea:
Style savvy contests but on tumblr. A random image or aesthetic chosen like in international (?) contests in the DS version or trendsetters. It's different to the daily bot as its weekly (or something like that). I also want to restrict it to one or two of the games to give everyone a similar wardrobe. Also tumblr voting like in the wireless contests.
