There's a lot in Styling Star I enjoy, but there's a couple of things I miss from the previous titles.
First, I want to complement how detailed the clothes are compared to the past titles. The fabrics have much more definition and there are now more accessories to chose from.
I do enjoy the fact this game has automatic time progression, rather than being in real time. I am a night shift worker and I always ran into the issue of things being slow, because it was night, unless I changed the 3DS internal clock. Also, I can experience the seasons changing faster. However, I feel like the days go by a little too fast. I will accidentally enter a shop once or twice, and it will turn from evening to night just from that mistake. There is an option to end your day early, so I didn't get why going in an out of shops would affect time so much.
I am glad I don't have to search around and take photos to unlock colors for the stylists, like in Trendsetters, so that is a plus.
I enjoy the fact every shop is open every day, and towards the end of the Main Story, you can open up the VIP shop, which has all the inventory in one place.
A few things I miss; Male fashion. It seems to be so limited now. Before, we were able to shop for men, and they would come into my personal shop. Also, completing male fashion tasks is similar to the Hair Salon and Beauty Shop tasks, you only gain style points, not earnings.
To touch upon the Hair Salon and Beauty Shop tasks, they are more free-for-all, where before some characters would come to the shops with extremely specific requests. You will now still get some requests like that, but it's once in a blue moon.
The Main Story in Styling Star is very different from the previous games. I do miss having my character partake in fashion shows, but now I have a handful of models to dress up to compete in fashion shows, livestreams, advertisements, and music performances.
Speaking of music performances, this game has English vocal tracks, which is something completely new. The music is really catchy, I love the Retrobeat shop music.
There's amiibo functionality, and you can earn some patterns for custom clothes by scanning a handful of first party character amiibo. The online functionality is kind of difficult to navigate, hopefully the next game will polish upon that, but you can visit random player's shops and buy their outfits.
Overall, Styling Star is really fun. If you're into fashion games, you will enjoy it.

I enjoy this game. I know there's a point where you customize everyone's house, but there's hundreds of Animal Crossing characters to get through. I do wish this game had a big update featuring newer characters, such as the ones on the Sanrio Amiibo cards.
Also, I just found out you can unlock extra room styles, which includes a basement so that makes it even better than I was going to give it.

This is a very great series. 4 was my first Way of the Samurai game.
I really enjoy the customization aspect of this game. If you are interested in creating your own move sets, this game has that. Forging your own sword is another feature I enjoyed.
The music is phenomenal, Noriyuki Asakura did an awesome job. If you have never played this game, just know he also composed the music to Tenchu.
Playing through the many scenarios was really fun. I enjoyed this game a lot.
