Fantasy Life General Thread

I did hear somewhere to someone attempted to connect their Japanese version of Fantasy Life to a European player, and it failed. Though, that didn't seemed to be convincing. So, I'm still going to figure that out soon.

I sent BiggKitty a PM, so we will post the results tomorrow.

Alright, just a status update from me =) Haven't played a lot the past few days, been busy with lots of stuff. But I am now a lvl 21 Expert Hunter with Adept Miner/Angler/Woodcutter/Tailor/Carpenter on the side.
Might have bitten of more than I can chew, but I enjoy the gathering and crafting part of the game, especially since they're also useful (gears/weapons/tools) I try to keep them all leveled as well, also since I can try to complete Challenges of my other Lives in the same area as I am hunting.

Just started off the next part of the main story that will lead me to Al Maajik. Yes yes, I know, I'm not that far into the game yet =P But I like the pace I have right now, hahaha.

Still a lvl 10 fledgling hunter or w/e the second rank is called

but that is actually the fun of this game, you can do what you want with multiple choices, you can make the game what you want it to be whether gathering, fighting or crafting and there is no time line to do anything, and if I could just work out how to do a Mercenary Tornado shot things would be perfect

Open your Menu, click on Licenses and choose Mercenary. Then use the X-button to toggle the different screens and you'll find how to do each skill.

I know what I am supposed to do, but the problem lies in my timing in the heat of battle. Also I often kill the target prior to completing the tornado shot which is 5 strokes of A, and with the bigger monsters the tornado may not kill but doesn't leave enough life to complete the whole shot again. Reading Gamefaqs it would seem I am not alone with my problem, many are experiencing the same difficulties

Ah yeah, I have the same problem with one of the skills I'm supposed to have; I simply can't time it right to actually get it done correctly. And then when it suddenly does happen, I'm always "huh? what did I just do?"

I'm not sure if I'm understanding correctly what you say about not leaving enough life, but you could take a few steps away from the battle and wait until you have enough life again?

No, I'm just awkward at trying to explain myself. I have to kill the monster with the tornado strike, but sometimes I use the move but the monster still has life left but not enough for me to use the tornado strike fully again, the tornado shot is 5 strokes and I don't get awarded a tornado shot kill if the monster doesn't die on the full completion of the 5 strokes

I am probably the only one who still knows what I mean!!!!!!

No, I get what you mean =P The skill is activated after a right timing-combo of your basic attacks (the 5th basic attack should be the skill). You try to kill the monster with the combo, but it doesn't die after the skill (5th attack). However, now the monster does not have enough left to last another combo for you to land the 5th attack again. Thus, he monster kill doesn't count for your Challenge, because it did not die by the skill.

I got the timing on my Hunter about right I think for the skill. In the heat of battle I often fail, but if I try, I can make the combo. Sometimes unintentionally XD

If only my lecture was finished, then I could continue the main story~

 

[KarlaKGB]

idk what tornado strike is, but for the missions where u have to kill a monster in a specific way, i just weaken them with regular attacks before finishing them with whatever skill

 

[Libra]

No, I get it now. Sorry; I hadn't realized you needed to kill the monster with that skill. Remind me not to choose the Mercenary Life.

KarlaKGB has a good suggestion, though. But from what I understand it's really a matter of timing since the fifth attack has to kill the monster, right? In that case, seriously; remind me not to choose the Mercenary Life.

Just out of curiosity; how many stars is that quest worth? Because with how hard it sounds, I'm hoping it's worth it!

Yes, you got my feeble explanation and expressed it better than I was doing!

I have tried doing that, but so far have weakened them too much and so the 5 hit combo never completes to get me my completed challenge.

I seem to need to complete it before I get the next batch of challenges, otherwise would have happily given up

 

[Melyora]

I believe it is an Expert Mercenary skill and it awards 150 stars (source: http://fantasy-life.wikia.com/wiki/Mercenary)

I usually use KarlaKGB's method as well, but only with my X charged attack. I think with the Mercenary it is a lot harder because it activates through a normal attack (A button) combo. If you miscalculate your damage, accidentally miss a hit, or time your button-pressing wrong, either you fail your combo for the skill or you don't kill the monster with the actual skill.

I'll be sticking with my Hunter ^_^'

Okay, from what I find, the challenge you're referring to is the Bladestorm one, right? So that means you're an Expert? You can continue with the challenges of higher levels (Master if you're an Expert), even if they don't show up in your list. You can see here what other challenges you can do and when you go to your Life Master, they'll show up as completed, even if you haven't reached that rank yet. Hopefully that helps and I understood correctly this time.

I'm really enjoying the game so far, it's like a Final Fantasy on DS or Golden Sun. I'm only just starting magician, I've just got two spirits from the woods. I love the little butterfly companion.

Yes, although I have to admit I am tremendously happy she isn't shouting 'Hey! Listen!' into my ear every minute

Haven't got to the Bladestorm move yet, it is Tornado Shot I am stuck on, will check that one and see what else I might be able to do

Haha yes . I love the use of spirits, I loved the Golden Sun games so it brought back a bit of nostalgia for me.

Yes, she means that, the Tornado Shot is part of the Challenge named 'Bladestorm' =)
