Fire Emblem Fates looks to be an interesting localizing adventure so far. That's how fanservicey they've been lately.
Are all of the Ashley appearences leading up to something?
- Thread starter warelander
- Start date
I'm not talking about the localization lol. I'm talking about the raw stuff from Japan. The localized version should be how the game was intended however it turns out.
Right. I'm saying that the Japanese version was so fanservicey that the localization team is having oh so much fun right now.
She came out, she got where she was today. Thank you, Ashley.
New 3ds theme, probably coming Feb 25th to NA (a bit sooner or later.)
Come on, don't be that way. Just cheer up, Ashley is probably keeping the series alive at this point. (My Big airhead opinion and probably not the case, lol.)
What's wrong with Ashley anyways, isn't she a great character? People can relate to her, she wants to make friends but she's either to shy or doesn't wanna try in fear of rejection. (something alone those lines.) I can relate, I'm great with making friends online, but in real life I'm shy and suck with words. lol.
It's not really disrespectful if you think of it, it's just a nod to us fan of Ashley anyways. Nintendo knows we like her, so they give us more of her, doesn't mean the other characters will be forgotten.

Don't take this the wrong way but I just don't find anything compelling about Ashley. While I like the Ware cast as a whole I don't find any of the characters to really be characters you can get into and they're not meant to be. Ashley is not really unique in any regard and is just a mashup of popular tropes that make for a character that gets cheap popularity. Nintendo is clearly pandering to the loli loving otaku crowd and not fans of the actual series otherwise they'd at least acknowledge the big man Wario himself but they don't even do that. Putting him with Mario doesn't count.

You know, I'm really starting to feel the same way.
Not only that, but like I've said before, Ashley still holds no special importance in the WarioWare series itself. I don't see her on the boxarts of its last few games, do you?
Gothic Loli Witch No. 9238492384932 is not doing any favors for a series full of stuff like this:
ah, well I was about to say until the Mario doesn't count came along. Well, I agree the characters seem made up just for this one game. I don't know what's up with Ashley though, I hear Japan likes girls like Ashley.
But I like her a lot because I can relate to the shy to make friends part, but I still find her cute.
Maybe because when those Warioware games came out she wasn't as popular as she is today?

Daily reminder that Jimmy and Mona are still the Luigi and Peach of WarioWare.
As mentioned before by many, she's a mash up of things that people find appealing to make for a character that has cheap popularity than one that is unique and has a popularity unique to them.
Her wanting to have friends isn't even well integrated into her character. She hardly even has character to speak of aside from what is pretty much told to us.
Does that make Ashley the Rosalina of Warioware?

Probably.
But you know, the future of WarioWare is kinda uncertain at this point. Considering how badly Game & Wario fared...
And that also reminds me, is Rhythm Heaven 3DS even planned for localization here yet?

Yeah, but can you blame her? Characters in Warioware were not really meant to have a full backstory to them, just characters to start and host the minigames. Ashley seemed to be the most loved though, so she stuck around.
We can only go off so much. Rosalina is interesting because she got a back story, that's character development. Ashley can't have a backstory, unless she can get one which is unlikely, so we just gotta go by description.
And this is what I mean by her popularity being unwarranted aside from being cheaply popular.

While we're at it, you'll notice how Isabelle has also been getting out there a lot lately.
But unlike Ashley, at least Isabelle has gone and contributed important shit to the Animal Crossing series. She's earned her place as the "face of Animal Crossing" and has every right to hold it for a long time. And what has Ashley done of major significance for WarioWare? Nothing. She hasn't worked hard at anything. She's still treated as one of its less important characters (at least within the context of WarioWare itself).

Look at her design, it really sticks out from Nintendo, doesn't it? Now let's not turn this into "Why Ashley shouldn't have been popular" thread.
Face facts, she's just popular. Be happy for her. She wanted her name to be known, so it has been.
