Well hold on now. I get that people are upset that the game isn't a carbon copy of TTYD. But having replayed TTYD and, now bug fables (which uses the same combat system, leveling system, etc as paper Mario) I can attest to the fact that the gameplay can get repetative.
Try and tell me how battles that consist of just 'hold the stick back' or 'jump' don't get boring after a while. Imagine if they had made a 3rd game with the same mechanics, I think people would start calling Nintendo out for being TOO safe and sticking too close to the source material.
Atleast in origami king it's more engaging in the battles when you tried. I'd they remain useful to the end as well. I found my self running low on confetti plenty of times, even near the end, and a quick battle fixes that.
I don't remember a game or 'rpg' (if people want to call it that) making me want to seek out low level battles at the end of the game ..I usually avoid them.
I'm not saying the game is perfect...and the secret ending (100%ing the game) is not worth it. But if wager that this game belongs sitting on the top along side TTYD 64, and super. It definitely does not belong with the other two.
(Also they characterized generic characters more than they characterized the partners in any of the games)
I'm glad I'm not alone when I feel like this is a lazy response. They could have very easily not made Kirby looking villains for this game, and went with more Mario familiar characters...the casuals know what Mario species are they have played atleast one game. It could have been an evil goomba hell-bent on distraction and wanting the goomba ranks to rise up...and it would probably be a cooler villain.im not saying I hate olly but if they think the only way to make casuals indentify with characters is to make them in the their most basic form. ..then that's ridiculous.
That being said I do enjoy the game...just wish battling meant something tbh. Everything else has been fun...well most of it lol
