So, I finally managed to get all of the Bonus Stickers. They went fast for the most part as a lot I hit immediately or knew what to do to quickly get them. I just wish the reward was better I guess? Besides the crowns/gift boxes, you just get this message in the end:

And I liked being able to have a special photo and stuff like the last game did (Credits were at like 77 Stickers or something) versus a message I’ll probably never see again. It’s a very cute message though.

Speaking of messages I’ll never see again, upon maxing my Cafe and talking to my manager, I got this:

Unfortunately, I hadn’t expected her to go into a big speech after hitting Level 30 for my Cafe. I had finished recording and was checking with her to put up new dishes before I went to bed so I was hitting A thinking it was the same dialogue and NOPE. I’ll be kicking myself for a while :(

Moving onto some happier things, I’ve been working hard on my collections. For the most part, it seems what items I have left are Vendor/Scrooge’s Shop exclusive OR are from other holidays/events. There are some that come from quests though–I need to hope that Sally will give me the quest for the Pumpkin King Portrait soon. I wish those were set to always come up first until you got them. So for now, after making what I can, I decided to work on throwing parties for all the frames:

And thus, lots of dreams:

I also started working on finishing all the episodes. I still had Castleton’s, Wonderland’s, and Atlantica’s to go.

It’s nice having them done, honestly. Even if I have to keep grinding some of them…

And I finished with my permanent cafe layouts, house, and room stuff for now :) As long as I don’t end up liking any seasonal stuff more–you can find those in my game log page!

Finally, I did manage to make all the dishes I have though so I’m ready for the future seasonal ones:

And well, it gets long so…

So, I did my very first stream for the game last night and it went pretty well :) I definitely may try and stream it again and just such a huge thank you to everyone who watches the videos on Youtube. Also a thank you to everyone reading here! This is definitely where to go if you want to see more of my thoughts :P

Taking off from where we last left off, I was working on getting invitations to the other balls:

I also took some time to work on the other Lilo and Stitch episodes:

I struggled a few times to get Gold with the Normal Difficulty, but actually did perfect on the Difficult one on my first try. I really hated re-fighting the boss, but with that done it was off to Atlantica:

I enjoy the Little Mermaid a lot, but it really confuses me about where exactly this takes place. Everything else is clearly after the movies except for this one.

I absolutely adored the Concert episode–I want more episodes like this over Battle system:

I then decided to host a Nightmare before Christmas Party as the last items I need for that set are from quests from Jack and Sally:

I also held a Little Mermaid party:

And it makes no sense she is swimming in it. The bubbles are an effect. None of this makes sense in any way.

I really wish the Gold Frame Dreams were more unique over just some new interactions on the same stage. I did love this piano though:

I loved the Little Mermaid dream:

The Sleeping Beauty one was kind of lame though.


I mean, I guess the Maleficient fight was cool, but it just felt kind of underwhelming overall.

Nightmare Before Christmas’ was… interesting.

After enough procrastination, it was onto Wonderland.

I hate Wonderland. Like ignoring that I don’t care for the movie/story, the world is frustrating, I’m not a big fan of any of the characters (Alice would be my favorite by default but would not be close to any characters I really like), and it just has some of the worst ghosts and still the same ear-piercing 10 second loop of pain for its music.

After suffering for a bit, I headed back to the Hundred Acre Wood as I finally got the Cookie Barley for Kanga and could continue the quests. First Pooh and I went to gather Honey for the Hunny Party…

And then we finally had it:

I then decided to work on Cafe Requests some more and finally held a Pirate Party:

And finally got the Big Turnip Sticker:

It was then back to Wonderland where I completely called Imposter-me would end up being the Boss of this World:

I then headed back to the Hundred Acre Wood to continue getting some new things harvested:

To further procrastinate heading back to Wonderland, I decided to go finish off the Frozen post-boss quests.

Then it was off to host more parties for Cafe Request completion.

After enough procrastination, it was back off to Wonderland.

Even my character doesn’t want to be here. And as predicted, this was the boss fight:

The boss fight was actually pretty fun though–it had a bit of a puzzle element to it and it helped make it much less frustrating.

With that, I got my 100th sticker!

And unlocked even more stickers to collect and the lovely credits roll.

And then we ended the day with a Halloween Party:

Next goals are to get all the new stickers and finish all the episodes :)

New Dishes Created

One of the things I find myself having the hardest time with is just really keeping up with everything–even though I’m at 91 Stickers, I still have the Post-World episodes, some of the high level main episodes, I am no where close at crafting the better things, failing at fishing (I still need so much), and haven’t done much of anything in the worlds for The Little Mermaid and Alice in Wonderland. I’m hoping to get the Little Mermaid’s main episode story done today.

I don’t know if I’d necessarily say the game is more challenging overall (certain aspects definitely though), but just very overwhelming. I feel like I’ve gotten no where yet in some way, I’m almost done which is baffling.

If there is one thing I realized with this game though, I do think it’d be immensely better without the Ghosts in it. The combat is dumb, it’s not very fun, it’s repetitive and kind of boring (even the new challenges get old fast), and I have a much more enjoyable time with nearly every single other thing. I like the dancing and just hanging out and doing favors and the Hundred Acre Wood and Snow White’s World are just so nice and enjoyable and even some of the other worlds have episodes that just let you breathe from “keep spamming A and twirling”.

The Ghosts are uncreative, frustrating, and I just don’t feel they add anything. This conflict isn’t even needed–you could still go up a mountain and investigate lost mail without having to defeat ghosts along the way. Like I find the episodes where I’m not doing some stupid dungeon grind so much more fulfilling.

But yes, moving onto playing recently, I feel like I’m not accomplishing much, but am earning stickers anyway. I do think I’ll probably finish earning the 100 before I get even close to being done with the game. That is probably a good thing though.

After doing enough dancing at the Ballroom, I finally got the item I needed for Owl:

Unfortunately, my progress in this world was paused immediately again with the next episode as Kanga wants something from Wonderland and I’m not even touching Wonderland until I finish The Little Mermaid because I hate Wonderland so much. X__x

I then went off to work on getting the other balls unlocked and started up an Aladdin Party. “It’s Showtime” has to be one of my favorite songs–it’s so catchy.

And of course, this unlocked another Ball:

And unlocking my 5th got me a Sticker :D

I then continued working on Snow White’s World and unlocked the Rainbow Cavern!:

And became Sneaky the Dwarf apparently.

Meanwhile, over in Frozen’s World we built a Snowman.

And after meeting with Marshmallow and beating the Frozen World Boss…

We came back to some new Snowpeople based off us (because our Snowman had to go get possessed

I then held my first Frozen Party to unlock the Frozen Ball:

I also got to have my very first Golden Dream Parade which had different activities despite being the same setting.

After that, I mostly just worked on grinding up more materials and working on my Fish Collection. I’m hoping to start the Little Mermaid world soon and also host a Snow White Party which is the last Ball I need to unlock. I also got John’s cute Teddybear:

But I think I’ll stick with the UniBEARsity one for now. I also finally got my Cherry blossom sparkles so yay :D

Finally, Nintendo updated their website with some Halloween themed items you can scan in from a QR code so be sure to do that if you haven’t yet!

Dream Parade

One of the things I’ve been having trouble with DMW2 for is just balancing eveything. There’s more Worlds, so many episodes, everything is so much bigger, and I’m unlocking stickers left and right before I can even do some of the basic Cafe missions or even many of the Episodes. In fact, I ended up completely missing the unlock requirement for the Ballroom Dancing because I didn’t host a Cinderella Party yet… but let’s get onto the photos and overview, yes?

So, first things first, Kanga and Roo have moved into the Hundred Acre Wood!

After finishing some things there, I ended up unlocking the Frozen area.

I then headed back to Hawaii to finish up the main episodes for Lilo and Stitch.

I just need to get to the extra episodes at the end now :P

I then ended up unlocking all the other Worlds pretty much one after the other… Snow White:

The Little Mermaid:

And Alice in Wonderland:

I still hate playing in Wonderland. The annoying ghosts are back, the ear sore that is the music is back… I wish they switched in any of the other worlds or even a new one over bringing it back.

Going back to Snow White, one of the big new things in the game is mining:

And I hate it so much. It’s essentially a rhythm game and there are two Stickers that require you to get 5 Perfects in one round of 10. The most I’ve gotten is 4. While I do like the idea of mining for gemstones, I just wish it wasn’t a rhythm game. I do love that they let you recolor outfits though.

I then went to the Cafe to finally do the Cinderella Party to unlock the Ballroom along with doing Parties for Belle and Aurora as well to unlock a few more Ballroom Episodes. I will probably do an Aladdin one next which should get me the 5 Princess invites–then I believe I just have Snow White and Frozen left to unlock all the different dances.

I actually was able to do a Gold Rank party for Beauty and the Beast which featured a completely new song on Showtime. I’m not sure if the song is different just because it was Gold or if it it’s different per party when gold.

I actually really enjoy the changes they made to the Ballroom dancing–it uses the same kind of input as the Hula Dancing for Lilo and Stitch and each ballroom looks different depending on who you are dancing for:

This also let me finally unlock one of my favorite outfits from the first game (after getting my other favorite from Wonderland):

(You may also notice my house is looking pinker :D Still trying to find a nice roof and maybe a better door…)

Then, however, I found a dress I loved even more:

At first, I was really upset as the dress couldn’t be recolored, but after finishing Rapunzel’s dance episodes, I got a recipe for a dress of hers that was the same, but purple and thus, I rushed off to do Aurora’s party.

My bet paid off though:

I love it so much. I want it in real life. And now I need to get new layout artwork at some point but it’s worth it:

One of the things I’ve really been enjoying are some of the less fetch quest-y missions which can be just a cutscene or general hanging out such as surfing with Stitch:

And going on a Treasure Hunt:

In case of the Treasure Hunts, it can be a little random what you get (Either something Common or something Rare you can’t get otherwise) and I wish the Rare things had a higher chance of success considering there is no other way to get them, but it’s such a nice break from the usual favors.

But yes, my plans for next time:
1. Aladdin Party
2. More episodes completed
3. Suffer through more mining

I’m really worried I won’t get all the Halloween stuff in time, but I’ll do my best!

Show Time

Dream Parades

So, I did start playing yesterday (You can find all my videos from yesterday already up on Youtube, but I am actually sick with the Flu right now and after playing all day, I decided to put the entry off until well, today :P So, let’s get started (before I play even more).

Before I go into pictures and logs though, I want to talk a bit about the game. Overall, it’s a huge improvement. Some worlds have been replaced (though, I still feel 6 is a bit small), others have been overhauled (The 100 Acre Woods looks much nicer and I’m expecting similar with Wonderland), and graphics have been upgraded as well. There are also even more new items so yay. New clothing items too, though, the menu has been over-simplified to the point where I have had some issues finding certain things.

The main town is also huge and Cafe Parties are so much better this game.

That said, some of the negatives I’ve noticed:
-Card collecting is gone. This isn’t a huge deal, but I found it surprising.
-Still no Online Multiplayer. Whhhy ;~; It’s pretty much the same as last game the way it all works.
-Noticeable frame drops. People said the first game had them, but I don’t usually notice that stuff so if I’m noticing it, there has to be some bad ones.
-Still really awkward item limits for decorating.
-Flooring and Wallpaper are now one item in the Cafe. While you can mix and match for your house, you can’t for the Cafe which is… incredibly dumb. I loved mixing and matching them and now I’m not sure if I
-Cammy is kind of obnoxious. I guess it’s good if you want to take lots of pictures at least but?

Anyway, to the photos!

So, you get to create your character and pick a starting outfit before being put in a green void to take your first picture:

I’m sad the hairstyle I used in the first game wasn’t an option this time around when starting off. There is a Hair Boutique though, so hopefully I find something event better. You also got to pick a starting outfit which was pretty nice.

I have arrived! :D

I then met up with Mickey and met everyone else:

It was then off to the Palace:

And getting my own house:

Also I could still swing on the swing and I am very happy about it:

I love that all the characters have their own houses that you can even go in:


I wish my house looked like Minnie’s house.

The game is just really nice (also the fact that we can hold items is amazing–I hope I can get a Teddybear):

But yes, after the first 18 stickers and my first Dream Parade (see below), the town became covered with Halloween decorations:

And also unlocked our first area with Lilo and Stitch!:

Our next area was Winnie the Pooh:

The big things with this game are the Dance shows:

And the Dream Parades:

Cafe Dishes made so far:

Special Photos Taken so far:

Bonus:
After turning the game on today to check the shops and favors before they change, I managed to get two more stickers before recording ^^; One for doing so many favors, One for obtaining a Lilo & Stitch frame, and another for collecting 10 Dream Puzzle pieces!
