It'd be more that they would give the more "paper-esque" look that the later entries have.

Otherwise, I think the game would remain mostly unchanged.

Which is a huge problem because Nintendo doesn't want the unique characters around, except for the ones that go with the "everything is LITERALLY PAPER!!!" narrative. And TYD is loaded with doogans, custom NPCs, bosses that aren't related to paper, actual non-gimmicky RPG battles, badges, and exp and levels. All the stuff Nintendo wants us to forget the Paper Mario series ever had in it.

Speaking of third parties, how come the studio behind Luigi's Mansion can get away with so much shit that the Paper Mario devs claim they can't get away with? Not only can they make their own characters with all sorts of designs while giving mainline characters unique mannerisms and character traits, but they can even alter designs of pre-existing characters like King Boo with little consequence and said design apparently got featured in some new Mario Kart thing too.

Probably because the original Luigi's Mansion had largely non-Mario ghosts in a somewhat non-Mario setting. And was a first party game to boot. Paper Mario has always had a distinctively Mario setting with character species introduced in the main games. So I'm guessing they feel the overly unique NPCs of standard characters is more harmful to the brand than human ghosts doing things in a human mansion (or tower as is the case of Luigi's Mansion 3).

I dunno wich is more responsible of removing all the soul in paper mario either myamoto, tanabe or the IP team but thing I don't understand, some enemie like daisy, bandit... are official enemie in the mario franchise(yoshi island) yet they aren't included?
even my sis which isn't a big fan of paper mario said it sad they're no more original character and specie variety in the new paper mario

I blame how lazy the industry can get, at times. Granted, using an existing roster of characters speeds up the process; but once you've been around the block a few times, there's nothing that can surprise you.

So, this is someone's autistic fanfiction on paper mario then?

Also, "Mecha-Toadsworth"? From the description it sounds like it's Toadsworth but car (I'm probably taking the "sweet ride" to literally), but to me it sounds like Toadsworth mechanized his body in order to better protect her.

Yeah, they forced an Fire Emblem cameo in there and they're acting like Nintendo actually made that game.

Fandom wiki in a nutshell. Already gone down that rabbit hole once, it's a very autistic circlejerk. You can shit out anything and people will say "great job" and pretend it's definitely real.

Autistic as this is, seeing toads and other races with a variety of different sizes and features looks way better than bland same-face toad plops Nintendo's been doing lately. I mean is it really so hard to make some extra models Nintendo?

The worst part is, I don't think it's laziness, I think it's either political or business. Politics, I don't know why, maybe China is offended by individuality (they did censor a Toad's line about being an individual). Business, easily to just have an easily-identified brand. It's Toad, the Toad you all know and love, no facial hair or scars or eyepatches or anything that could confuse you. It's probably a mix of both, really. Nintendo's literally selling part of their soul for no good reason.

Which is kind of ironic, considering that the other side of the industry is claiming to be "DIVERSITY FIRST!" and what else that the SJWs want.

I don't really care what their reason is since the end-result is still the same in my case. I'm perfectly fine with never buying another new Paper Mario title until they decide to care again since Bug Fables and old ROMs of 64, TTYD, and SPM exist.

Ok if it done well witch isn't the case for this fanfic. Even in PMTTYD you got the generic model for each species only important character was different, and most unique specie were only in specific area.

Unsurprisingly, that website is a magnet for that kind of stuff. I've seen worse on there, though.
