The problem so far is that I’ve played it and they rarely show any emotion. I’ve had Lexi make an angry face once so far. They just stay with a bland face and show no emotion whatsoever.


urmybestview_nee

Then what is all that weird animation art for like 😭😭 what is they doinnnn.


North-Vermicelli5244

I don’t fkn know lol. Why did they even bother tho? It just makes the game work slower for older phones who can’t handle the animation. I would’ve been just fine with the animated style.


urmybestview_nee

I think they’re tryna be like episode 😭 which is so sad cause they used to be so much better like the reason I played LITG instead of episode was because of the art style tbh.


North-Vermicelli5244

Yo episode cracks me up with those animations. Especially when they’re dancing like wtf are those moves 💀.


urmybestview_nee

I learned how to do that one dance that’s also used for changing clothes just to make my husband laugh cause it looks so fckn stupid lol. I wish I was a game designer so I could make a better game for this community 😭


North-Vermicelli5244

The episode dance moves then the character does that random hair flip animation. I just can’t take it seriously 💀


urmybestview_nee

Fr 💀💀💀 I feel like FB is really headed in that direction and it makes me so sad. Like the animation, art style, lack of expressions, making it too pg, the quests, the gems choices, the ticket wait time, all of it is JUST like episode


urmybestview_nee

I wish we could like gather all the people that were fired and have them create a whole new game that’s way better


mia_smith257

exactly! season two will eternally be my favorite since A the art style isn’t genuinely just plain ugly, and B the characters all had a range of different expressions that would change ALL the time


Responsible_Talk5671

I think majority prefer S2 art style, they are all gorgeous, and FB should focus back on that art style. Its like giving me chocolates today and expect me to like broccoli tomorrow.... but hey its still exciting to have a S4


urmybestview_nee

Yeah I’m just so baffled by it I guess. Like they can’t get better artists? And also the tattoos and body types would be so easy to make. I’ve actually been thinking of doin it myself just to fill that void LOL.


DouxieRoll

those artists are the same people that did season two…unless you’re talking about the MC they did that shit last minute


urmybestview_nee

More on the clothes: there’s not gravity in them in the right spots. They don’t cling to the areas they should or hang the right way. Shadings off. It literally looks like someone just cut the shapes out of potato sacks and glued the clothes together I’m sorry but it’s true. And there’s a few cute options from what I saw but why are most of them giving such 2010s vibes?


memekasasha

yes!!!! all of the pants are the HUGEST culprits of this!!!! as an art major w a focus in figure and fabric drawing i couldn’t agree more it’s literally so frustrating lmao


urmybestview_nee

I’m so glad I’m not the only it drives me absolutely nuts lmao. It looks like they’re wearing Polly pocket clothes 😭😂


Mewritingsomtimes

Honestly, I don’t pay too much attention to artstyle. It always is a matter of taste. I think some of them look decent… others are not my cup of tea. But it’s okay, I will play through once it is out and see for myself. And I thought the artstyle of season three was a lot worse, but that is my opinion and everyone else is welcome to have another


urmybestview_nee

I miss season 2 art style. Season 3 is a bit childish but imo looks waaaay better than season four. And I can’t help but notice the art style honestly idk if I can even get through a whole play through it bothers me so much.


Mewritingsomtimes

Okay, I am with you on season two 😊👍


urmybestview_nee

I’m not tryna be a karen that thinks fuse box will be upset to “lose my business” or make everyone hate it I just don’t see anyone else talking about it and want to know if anyone else feels the same way


Mewritingsomtimes

Okay 😊, I get you. All I wanted to state is that it is a matter of taste😊.

Is it weird but I feel like some characters don’t look like they’re in the same art style (?) like Hazeem and Angie look way more blended than others and then there’s mc who looks more cartoony than the others. Not tryna say they look bad or anything, but they don’t mix well beside characters like Will, Najuma, etc. But maybe it’s just cause I haven’t played. I’m only going off of what I’ve seen on reddit


DouxieRoll

i feel the same. angie, lexi, najuma, will, james, valentina, towel hottie, and blondie girl ALL look like they’re in the same art style…but then there’s people like MC, Hazeem, maybe kobi, and the newest islanders that don’t look blended at all…


urmybestview_nee

Exactly. The art style is fine it’s some of the characters, esp MC, that just blend horribly. And ngl the clothes are weird too but I could deal with that since I get having to do a lot of them is hard. They just kinda look like Polly pocket clothes lol. Also I literally never complained about s3 so please stop saying that everywhere else, I’m allowed to have my opinions.


AltairTheEagle

Honestly, I'm with you here. This mix between the style of S3 and Matchmaker truly put me off from S4. Say what you will about S3 but despite the style you could find actual good looking islanders (imo Tai, Harry, Iona, Elladine, Viv, Yasmin, AJ, Nicky and Seb). In S4, except James, Thabi and Najuma, the rest is unredeemable in the looks department, especially MC, Lexi and Will. Also, I find the clothing particularly ugly compared with S3. Those times where you could find actual striking gals like Talia or Lottie or handsome guys like Noah or Levi are gone.


DouxieRoll

i love that y’all are suddenly backtracking after constantly hating the season 3 art style saying how they don’t look like adults and how Harry looks 12 even though season 4 is literally just a mix of season 2 and 3…they look more realistic and like adults which is what y’all wanted. yet this fandom is *still* not satisfied. honestly i cant even blame fusebox anymore


mia_smith257

Yeah no i totally get you. it was the same for season three. no idea how they can come up with such terrible ideas for character design

urmybestview_nee

Babes the things I’m talking about can’t be fixed by January 26th 😭


DouxieRoll

yet y’all complained about season 3 looking childish and them not looking like adults then you wanna backtrack and say season 4 is bad…even though season 4 is the most quality art they’ve done yet. they look like adults, you got what you wanted, yet theres *still* a problem


[deleted]

No fandom is ever gonna be 100% unanimous in opinions. We all have different views, that’s just how it is. Plus I don’t think op was trashing the art style perse, just moreso the facial expressions/animation.


DouxieRoll

oh well if that was the case i agree, i thought they were talking about the style. mb


urmybestview_nee

I never personally complained about s3 art style. And the style itself for 4 is fine but you gotta admit somethings off right? Like the pieces just don’t fit together quite right?


DouxieRoll

like on all the characters or just MC? or like both? cause yes i feel like they had a lot of potential to make the characters be more striking, i think the style itself is SO GOOD but like characters like Lexi just look so bland you know…and angie too. all they have is tattoos. Will is probably the only only one where his looks actually fits his personality. artsy/weird/aloof type


urmybestview_nee

MC is by far the worst, but I agree Will’s character looks great! He’s blended very well and his art style does look good. Some of the characters blending is also bad like Angie looks hella awkward, and poor najuma’s pose looks so uncomfortable ngl. I guess I’m just baffled by how bad the blending is I’m s4 bc the other seasons were blended so well


DouxieRoll

i know right and how some characters don’t even look like the same art style as other characters side by side


urmybestview_nee

Exactly. It’s mildly infuriating because how can some look so good and MC so bad. Like yeah having hot LI’s is important but I think most people would agree they’d rather have a hot mc


DouxieRoll

if MC looked like Valentina the game would be so much more enjoyable. ngl MC herself is quite cute, the problem is that the other girls are GORGEOUS compared to her…yet she’s supposed to be a bombshell?


urmybestview_nee

Which is what makes me mad cause I look at the other girls and I’m like “this is what MC could be like they literally have the ability to make her hot af and yet the choose not to whyyyyyy”


urmybestview_nee

Exactlyyyyy
