Disney Magical World

[Libra]

I still have to wait a while before this game comes out in Europe.

Aw, that sucks. I have 21 dove feathers and I would give them to you if I could. :c What do you need them for btw?

And the early episodes are at least short, so it's not a waste of time to go through it and not end up with the item you needed. I'm not 100% sure, but it seems if you do them with a lower powered wand, you can get more red gems, so you can get a better payoff on the last chest. Have you noticed that, or am I imagining it?

It really would be so great if you could trade online, and also to visit and interact with each other in the cafe. I think you can do it with local play, but it's not a popular enough game where there would be tons of opportunities to do that. I've never even had a chance to try it.

Some favors and a few item colors mostly. But yeah, there's just certain earlier items that hate me in each area and I have awful luck with it. I've had it go back and forth honestly.

Rendra - I've actually tried doing that before--saving and quitting for hours and nothing so I stopped trying. Maybe I'll try again, but I just think I'm too unlucky for it.

Yeah, those items are a pain too so bleh. I got all 100 stickers pretty early on and got all 300 cards a month or two ago--I don't time travel so items will be a while. In general, my game goals are:
1. 100% Catalog
2. Get all Stickers
3. Get All Cards
4. Make your own special cafe layout
5. Make your own special room layout
6. Find your favorite outfit
7. Get a photo with every character in the cafe (including different character outfits such as Halloween costumes)
8. Get a special photo with every character in the cafe (excluding different outfits as location doesn't matter based on costumes)
9. 100% every episode

I still haven't figured out how to trigger Mickey's and Minnie's more modern outfits shown on the Japanese page--not sure if you even can. Besides that, there's a few characters it seems you can not get a picture with despite having favors (The Doorknob, Mad Hatter, March Hare, Aladdin with Carpet, possibly Phil?, Aladdin with Jasmine (it'll always be Jasmine with Aladdin--she always gives the favor so she's the one who asks about the picture--in general, I've found who asks does actually change up the photo with only a few exceptions)).

I find I only have 1, 7, and 8 left on that list but it'll still be a while...

I still haven't figured out how to trigger Mickey's and Minnie's more modern outfits shown on the Japanese page--not sure if you even can.

I believe those are McDuck's items only. I have the Mickey modern outfit which is these items:

Mickey Modern Hunting Cap
Mickey Modern Jacket
Mickey Modern Trousers
Mickey Modern Sneakers

But I don't have the Minnie Modern. I wish I knew how I got the Mickey Modern items. I'm almost certain I got them at McDucks, because if it was a recipe I'd somehow earned then the items would be available at Daisy's, but they aren't.

A tip/cheat about throwing parties to get Cafe Medals.
Use the Cafe Requests to get your Party meter full.
Set everything up in your cafe (decorating, food & clothing to get an 8 combo for the character medal you are trying for).
Then SAVE.
Then throw the party. If the character doesn't give you the medal, then turn off the game without saving. Start the game up again and throw the party. Rinse and repeat until you get the medal.
You don't even have to have the high-end decorations or food to get the medal. I would throw low-end parties for Donald (because I had already gotten several medals from him) and every few parties he would give me a medal again.

I do pretty much that, except I save before I make the food. Then I change up the food to see which characters show up. The Aladdin one was tough, but everyone else only took a few resets. I do think it just depends on how lucky you get.

I'm stuck at resetting for cards though. The resetting gets very boring so now that's the only thing I'll spend time resetting. Well, that and farming to get special seeds from harvesting, but that's usually only a couple of resets. The cards are a nightmare though.


BTW, does anyone else HATE Daisy's voice as much as I do? I seriously avoid her as much as possible, her voice just doesn't fit in the game. Her and the picture guy, they annoy me so much. But I can laugh at his cheesiness, whereas HERS seriously hurts my life.

Modern as in their Modern costumes that Mickey and Minnie would wear--not the instore Scrooge outfits. These:

Cards aren't too bad if you remember some tips:
1. Only trade in the cards that are the same rarity--you have a higher chance to get a card of that same rarity.
2. It's easier to reset in front of a character who will give you a card since they only have a 1/5 or 1/10 chance of giving you once you need versus 1/300 (or 1/60 if you do the rarity trick).

Oh, no I don't know about those outfits. The Minnie one looks like the basic Minnie outfit though, one of the earliest stuff you can make. But that dress is more poofy, and it doesn't have the modern title. So it's probably not it. Hmmm, IDK. I wish there was a list of items. How will you feel like you've got 100%? Is there a list you're using?

Also, you're a genius about resetting in front of characters instead of with the card guy! IDK why I didn't think of that! lol XD

 

[Jennifer]

Like I said, it's not the outfits I want--I want to take a picture with Mickey and Minnie in their respective outfits like in the picture You've been able to dress up with them in every other outfit shown (minus one attached to a DLC pack we haven't gotten yet). But yeah, I gave a list earlier of what I want to accomplish for 100% :3

Just remember some cards you can't get from people But yeah, my last card was a Tinkerbell card so it helped a lot to just reset in front of her.

I read your list, I just misunderstood about the outfits. When I take pics I try to wear a matching outfit a lot of times too, but only if it would make a cute pic.

I also meant as far as the 100%-ing of the catalog, is there a list you've found of all the items. The japanese site is hard because it's just pictures to me, and I suck at matching it up to what I have.

I received my first medal from Minnie yesterday. It took a lot of melt ice to get it done. Thanks for posting your reset tips on the medals. Will be using it to see if I can get more.
I love the new wand and how easy it takes out the ghost. Went thru Aladdin last quest and had a lot of stone. Still no trustworthy plate.

How big is the 100 acre goldfish in the water? I still haven't found on yet.

It really isn't that huge. I feel like out by where Donald sits, the fish has to be HUGE (I have a terrible memory and can't recall what the item is that you get from that) but the 100 Acre Woods goldfish really wasn't too big. Just bigger than the usual ones you see.

 

[stitchmaker]

The nearby visiting a caf? feature is cool. You can give friends presents or yourself if you have 2 copies.
Nice way to help someone starting up. Or if you have a good run getting rare items. The other night the game was giving up big bad mushrooms a lot.

 

[stitchmaker]

How do you get a Special Score in the dancing ones? One point has only been mark on the special score.
I'm getting better but not good enough.

 

[LyraVale]

I'm pretty sure I only have ever gotten 1 on the special score too in most cases. But there's one in the middle too on some of the dances, then in that case I have gotten 2. I just try to keep tapping the special area to the rhythm and hope for the best. XD

Disney Magical World comes out in a few weeks here, but I just got Fantasy Life, so I might wait a while before getting DMW as well.

I'm curious as to what Europe will do with the DLC and such, though. From what I understand, there hasn't been anything interesting lately in the US? I mean, like the Pirates of the Caribbean world or something. Though I did see a Seasonal Set for Halloween? The one that looks like Pooh?

Also; this game has only one save slot, is that correct?

Yes, only one save slot. Also, I would assume they'd re-release the Nintendo Zone DLC items, which they released in NA every 2 weeks. The regular (paid and free) DLC is always available, and the PotC one was definitely one I'd recommend purchasing, and maybe one of the paid wands, because they start you off with a better amount of power until you get to building better wands in the game.

Also, I love the game and I do recommend it. But since you got FL, you'll probably be ok to wait a little on DMW.

But the only problem is that I waited from when I bought the game, to when I started to actually play, and missed a couple of the first NZ DLC items. And there's no other way to get those. SO maybe if you think that might bother you, get the game, get the NZ DLC's, but don't get into too much of the game play until you're ready to.

Libra,
If you have a friend that plays you can do nearby visiting when you get the cafe.
Trade seeds,flowers and clothing with the visitor.

Nearby visiting; you mean local play, right? Unfortunately I know no one who will get this game as well.

I'm actually curious as to how many people will buy and play this because I think some might look at it as a children's game. And like I've said; Fantasy Life just came out so that might hurt Disney Magical World's sales (I'm not sure, but well, the game comes out in a few weeks, but if you wait a few weeks more then the new Pok?mon comes out, so...).

It's funny that people think it looks like a children's game, because I actually don't think it's that great for children. When I was super into it, I thought about getting it for my nieces. Then I realized it takes a lot of time to do things.

For example, to make a piece of furniture, you might have to find an ingredient from a quest, or grow an ingredient so you can complete a favor for an ingredient, or even have ingredients to make food in your cafe to sell, in order to make the money to build the furniture. lol, that's WAY too complicated for young children.

Not that they wouldn't understand the concept, but it might be a few hours to a few days of gameplay for one task, and they may get frustrated. Or they might not be able to play as much as we "grownups" can.

I'd say the first 45-50% of the game is pretty easy, and maybe childish, but still fun for grownups. Especially gamer grownups, and ESPECIALLY gamer grownups who play Nintendo games. It's actually pretty representative of Nintendo, even though if I'm not mistaken, technically it wasn't made by Nintendo, so maybe that's why they didn't promote it like crazy.

Wow, I hope that wasn't totally incoherent. I'm pretty sure I had some kind of point in there. XD

 

[Libra]

Ah yeah, I'm actually considering canceling my pre-order and getting the game later (even if that means I'd lose some of the DLC). DMW came out months ago so for some people it's "old news" by now and FL is "new and shiny", so to speak. But for me (and maybe other people in Europe feel the same), the games might be too similar, even if they're of course different as well. I might have to flip a coin to really decide.

Wow, I hope that wasn't totally incoherent. I'm pretty sure I had some kind of point in there. XD

Don't worry about it; I understood perfectly what you meant and I agree. I actually talked to a friend who was considering this as well for her niece but when I explained that it wasn't that easy, her reaction was pretty much "but this is a Disney game! It's supposed to be easy!" Well, yeah, I understand why one would think that, but eh...

Too bad the game doesn't have any real multi-player. It's nice that you can visit other people's cafes but it's also a bit of "so, that's it then? nothing more?" Still, I've been reading the posts on this thread and I'm convinced the game is great. Just that the timing could be a bit better (but I'm guessing they might have chosen that date because if it had been too close to Pok?mon, well, that wouldn't have been good either ).

I just started the game yesterday and I really like it so far..I have an AR card question. On the Nintendo Disney game site, it says to download the AR cards to get Belle's outfit and Summer cafe items. When I Magical Ar read the cards, I only receive seeds. Were the cards only good for a limited time and then reverted to common seeds?


If I buy a wand dlc which one should I buy? Thank you

I don't understand why they space out releasing it either. Why do they separate NA and Europe? I understand Japan getting things first, but then the rest of the world should get it all together. UNLESS, they are going to make a big deal out of each release like they do with films, then it's a good idea because they get several opportunities to hype things up, instead of people forgetting.

But with this game, I feel like they threw it out there and just said, "meh, some people will probably like it"...

But it's a pretty nice quality game, so they must have spent a lot on developing it. I'm just a little confused at Nintendo in the DMW situation. Anyway, the Disney characters are really incidental, it doesn't even really follow any Disney stories, except loosely. The characters are the same, and relate to one another in the same way, but it's new stories for them.

BTW, I don't blame you for being into FL right now, it sounds awesome. I love when I get into one game so much it makes me forget all other games for that moment. That's when you know it's good!

The AR cards should still work. The first time you scan them you get the items. If you scan it ever again, unlimited times, you get different kinds of seeds. Not bad actually if you're just starting out. Because you'll be able to plant them. Although I don't think they are rare seeds, they are for items you'd find around town anyway.

Also other than the official Nintendo site AR cards, you can also scan the ones at this site.

As for the wands, they are worth it because they have a strength of 1000. Which is much higher than the ones you start with in the game, so it's useful. But each wand is most helpful in its own area. So for example the Cinderella one is best in the Cinderella quests...
