>>28918162As I said, it seems like a step back to me. It was nice being able to press a button and access these features from anywhere, rather than having to drop what you're doing and visit a specific in-game location.
Actually, I suspect that this will be somewhere in between -- Festival Plaza won't be a real in-game location that you can walk or fly to, but you can "teleport" there from anywhere via the lower screen. So more like an interactive PSS town, rather than a series of menus. If that's the case, I'm not sure how I'd feel about it. I liked the convenience of having all of the features so quickly accessible and the ability to see al of the acquaintances/passers-by/etc. no matter what else you were doing, but on the other hand Join Avenue was a really fantastic feature, that I'm very happy to have return in some form.
