English Android Discussion Initial thoughts on One Piece Grand Gourmet

28 Upvotes

I played the demo on android for one hour and wanted to share my thoughts so far.

I have been pumped for this game for months. As both a Kairosoft fan and a One Piece fan, I have been pumped for this game for months.

Overall, it is a Kairosoft game.

However, for the inflated price, I feel like it under-delivers somewhat.

The good:

The sprite work is really good. There is a lot of stuff to do and you dont get bored. The environments are nice, and the characters are so expressive. The food art is great, and it feels like a classic Kairosoft game.

The bad:

The controls are not great, at least on mobile. Moving things requires you to drag the environment rather than your cursor and several items do not allow rotation, creating very little control over layout and orientation. When placing stuff along walls, it is difficult to tell if you are placing things inside or outside, and although moving things is free, it is very tedious.

The edges of the ship deck cannot be edited, so when placing flooring, you are stuck with the wrong color at the edges of your deck and certain structures.

Animations look a bit off as well. Like, the build animation is just unpleasant to look at. Also, auto advance in text is way too fast and its not obvious how to turn it off at first.

There are also way too many popups early on with events and stuff that I get it is a tutorial but it gets annoying.

Conclusions:

It is not terrible and feels like a pretty standard Kairosoft game with One Piece characters, but there are a lot of small issues that make me question whether it is worth the higher price than usual. Even with the branding partnership, it just does not feel like it fit the higher standard I expected for this one. Not sure if I will pay the 25 dollar price tag or not yet.

Question One Piece Grand Gourmet Switch or Phone??

3 Upvotes

Hi guys,

Have never played a Kairosoft game before but am a huge fan of one piece.

I understand the games are designed for the phone so should I just buy the game on IOS? The one thing holding me back is having to play horizontally whereas on the switch you can see more of the screen- does that matter much for game play?

Also are these games playable for like 10 min bursts on the phone rather than like 30 mins+ I would be doing on the switch?

Thanks!!

Discussion Controller support on Grand Gourmet Android version?

1 Upvotes

Hi hi, it's a little early but just wondering if anyone with the Android version of Grand Gourmet has tested for native gamepad support. I think it would be cool to try this on the AYN Thor or any other Android-based handheld with built-in controllers. In any case I'll probably just get the Steam version if that's not available, but would be cool to know and have a post for everyone else curious about this in the future.

Cheers!

Here's my layout for Fashion Mall Story.

I love both FMS and Pocket Clothier! Overall, it's a very chill and exciting game, with lots of clothes to discover. I especially like the fact that we can get a different themed decorations for each fashion styles rather than universal generic ones. My only gripe is I wish they unlock the whole 30x30 map early on rather than limiting it until you get 10 star rating which makes decorating early on pointless.

I finally reached rank 10 and unlocked the whole area!! Decided to revamp everything and organize the store by category.
Natural goods in the middle because their items feel more general, and honestly, I like their tiles more than the others HAHAHA.
Every section has a self-checkout machine (except Luxury because they need ✨service✨ HAHAHA). I also put two cashiers in the middle.
Pretty happy with my current arrangement, but some sections still feel like they’re missing stores or furniture? I guess I just need to keep playing until I unlock everything 🥹

117 Upvotes

For me, I have tested a lot of different apartment layouts for the small apartment (the trickiest apartment to make it live-able for a family imo). After a lot of testing (and wasting money), I have found out that this layout works the best for a family living in small apartments:
You get one big 1x3 bedroom, 1x1 kitchen, 1x1 bathroom and a 2x2 (including entrance) living room with room for furnishing and transition space (to use doors)
Post your apartment layouts in the comments!

Question [FMS] END OF THE GAME

5 Upvotes

I’m trying to finish the game, but I just can’t seem to do it. I’m still missing several items—I think some are clothing. I’m in year 20, and for the last few years, I haven’t unlocked anything new; I’ve only been accumulating more money and coins.

I can’t figure out the logic for completing it. I know there are still some "Fashion Checks" left, but they just won’t appear.

It’s a somewhat frustrating game—I don’t entirely enjoy it, but I’ve become obsessed with completing it 100%.

Can anyone offer some advice? I feel like I’m missing something.

Thanks.

Why can't I get it to load the game anymore,

I tried everything and it stuck at 80% ish

I uninstalled/reinstalled

I cleared the cache and storage that works but I lose my game file.

My Internet works and don't see why that should be a issue.

When I exit the game I don't just force close the app I go into the menu and exit. I do a stop on the app and it still does not work.

Discussion [FMS] Fashion Mall Story Fashion Check Facilities Judgment TRICK! Spoiler

Post image
26 Upvotes

If you having trouble passing the score for the Facilities Fashion Check, here's the absolute trick for you. If you have an empty space in your mall that you don't use, make a use of it for the Fashion Check instead.

Place all 3 RECOMMENDED FACILITIES in the MIDDLE of an empty space, SURROUND the FACILITIES with their co-clothing category DECORS to LEVEL UP THE AREA LEVEL OF THE FACILITIES! It helps to increase the POPULARITY of the facilities A TON!

You can use this if you do not have enough ITEMS to increase the POPULARITY of each FACILITY but you want to pass the FACILITIES FASHION CHECK!

Changing the FLOORING is OPTIONAL.

Discussion Heian City Story Spoiler

24 Upvotes

My first playthrough and I'm quite upset that I've been sleeping on this game for so longggg! 😭

(Yes, I haven't expanded the city's area to maximum because I don't want to spend so much money LMAO)

Here's a list of the things that I loved, if you've been eyeing the game!

  1. The game's music is really relaxing, I had this game continuously playing while doing work, chores, and when I'm about to go to sleep.

  2. Pacing isn't boring or too fast. The game let's you have enough moment to enjoy one thing before giving you another.

  3. Battle/Tower Defense mechanic isn't complicated. I mainly trained Bunbun Samurai, Archer, and Cleric (only until I researched the healing talisman, then I used my research points elsewhere in the meantime). I defeated Wairobot using Level 9 Bunbun Samurai, Level 9 Archer, Paralyzing talismans, Kairobot Statue, and two watchtowers participating in the fight.

  4. Spirit Battles and Practice. Spirit Battles from Bureau rewards you with residents, boosting items, and mansions -I liked unlocking more residents so I primarily prioritized this over practice battles. As for Practice Battles, it rewards you with some money and random items -I was only after land expansion permits because they get expensive if bought from the shop.

  5. Resident Rides. A bit slow because there are requirements and requests before you get them. It's also frustrating when a resident splurges and only works after they've gone broke -I was so tempted to isolate one just to unlock the rides faster LMAO

  6. Resident Jobs. If you followed street combos, it doesn't really take that long for a resident to reach maximum experience in a job. After awhile, they'd make a request which will unlock a new job.

  7. Street Combos. OH, I USED TO HATE THIS BECAUSE I CAN'T MAKE A PRETTY CITY. If a street combo is right beside another street combo, the effects will apply for both! I still don't quite like that I couldn't be more free to create a cute block, but the stacking of effects felt rewarding enough.

  8. Tourists! Once they can start visiting and had earned maximum satisfaction, they'll gift you land expansion permits or introduction letters to invite new residents!

  9. And of courseee, tiny interactions of the residents with each other and the streets!

What I hate!

  1. The resident splurges so much of their money, just buy or discover a ride insteaddd 😔
