Fantasy Life General Thread

I had my stats set evenly too but with most in strength and intelligence. So I didn't think it mattered. But when cutting down the boss trees in the end, for example, I went from doing 0 damage to being able to do it fairly easily just by putting all the stats into the top 2 areas fir woodcutting. It just sucks that you have to pay 30k each time lol.

Eh, 30k is nothing once you get into the crafting classes. The money you get from crafting far outweighs the cost of buying the items to craft with. ;D

( Yes, I said buying, not gathering. )

I've never seen my Dosh count go low enough that I haven't been able to afford something - with a single exception of when I went on an ingredient buying binge.

I haven't had to worry about Dosh too much either, it just kind of adds up on its own. But I also don't sell most of the things I craft, unless it's a double of something I already had. I know people sell their old tools/weapons/etc that they're not using, but I have the 1000 storage (I think, or whatever the highest is)...so I just save it all.

I am thinking of getting the demonic mirror. A. Cuz it would be a little easier and B. I don't really have much else of the coin items that I want.

I just hit Master Wizard, and I'm wondering if there is better armor for me to use instead of the password Mysterious Costume set? I also have Expert Mining and Woodcutter, but I'm having trouble harvesting some items because I hit for so little? I was gifted the Pino set and I use that with expert rank pickaxe and axe. Like the Giant Fossil in Cave of Bones, and the Fire tree in the lava cave. x.x; Any tips?

Nice to see this thread is still active and people are still playing this game. I haven't touched my copy in months, but it is an awesome game and lots of fun (even though I completely burnt myself out). I've been playing Rune Factory 4 instead which is different but fun too (and I like the crafting in RF better than in FL but that's mostly because I'm hopeless at the mini-games).

Anyone know where I can find Noelia post game?
Also I have a problem. I'm trying to level up from an adept magician but I've completed all the challenges that I can do to earn points to level up. I've got 250 or so more points to earn before I level up but how can I do that with no more challenges? I talked to the life master, Jinx, but she says nothing. What do I do?

I think you mean where is she? She's in Lunares with her dad, but I think in the far bottom right corner if I remember correctly.

Also, when you run out of challenges from the master, you have to find all the people that are related to your life and they will sometimes give you the extra challenges.

Thanks for the help guys

Last night I finally hit Creator in all lives, so I am feeling pretty accomplished. I thought some of those crafting lives were going to be the death of me... so repetitive. I took a whack at one of the life master requests for the first time and failed miserably (Poseidon Swordfish), so I obviously have to craft a better rod and level up more.

Has anyone done all/most of those requests? Curious as to which is going to be the most difficult.

If you own any North American 3DS hardware, there's a special E3 promotion going on eShop. Fantasy Life is one of the games eligible for that, which is priced at $27.99 USD. Download it before June 23rd to take advantage of the price cut, unless you really want to pay $39.99!

Wow, congrats! I'm far from that, but I've gotten Creator on a few lives...it was a lot of time and work.

I still plan to get close to 100% someday...probably 90% actually XD considering I can't get all the Goddess items and some other various furniture/clothing items I don't actually want/need. I think it's going to be a long time in the future, since I take a lot of long breaks from the game now. Which is fine, because whenever I come back, I still have fun and get excited about playing this game. I know other people who got over it and never go back though...which is probably why this thread has died down. ;_;

I've taken a lot of breaks over the course of playing the game, too. Generally what gets me to come back to it is having a set goal in mind. I definitely plan on at least getting close to 100%-ing the game, but when/if I get that far, I don't know that I would replay it. Maybe just for the combat lives... but not the crafting ones. And also to actually read some of the dialogue I skipped through the first time, haha.

*waves* Hi!

Yeah, at some point I was just done with this game (even though I hadn't 100% it, but then that's something I never do, really) and I haven't touched it since.

I'm currently playing Rune Factory 4 (with taking breaks, though, because 1) I don't want to give myself another burn out, and 2) Real Life is so much fun sometimes, oh joy) and if there's something I like more than Fantasy Life it's the villagers in the town. In RF4 the town really feels like it's alive. Every villager has something new to say each day (sometimes just one line, though, but hey; new text!) and they are active in the sense that they sleep, wake up, run around town, go to the restaurant and so on. It gives the game a very unique atmosphere, really.

Now I know that in FL that's simply not possible, given that there are like a zillion NPC's and what not, but I think that's one reason I got somewhat bored; that you can't really become "friends" with the characters and that they were just standing around there, doing nothing, you know?

But I still think it's a great game and I had hoped the sequel would be a 3DS one, because I had definitely been planning on buying it. Sadly that's not the case, but perhaps, one day in the future? One can always hope, right?

That being said, I admit I'm curious as to what other people's reasons are for no longer playing. I mean, I know what my reasons are, but I don't think they're the same for everyone, so yeah, I'm curious!

Stopped playing because the expac for Final Fantasy XIV came out and I'm working on getting my main jobs to cap and gear up etc. I usually play a tiny bit of Fantasy Life while waiting for my dungeons to pop though.

 

[JCnator]

Well, I stopped playing the game since months ago because I eventually grew bored of doing the same tasks over and over and over again when I've got better games to play. Don't get me wrong, it still instilled quite a fair amount of enjoyment when I was playing over 80 hours on my Japanese version and around 50 hours on my North American one. But, when there are a lot of Lifes that are very similar to each other and too much emphasis on the rather simplistic sidequests, I don't believe it's worth my time anymore after pouring over 30 hours of gameplay.

 

[badcrumbs]

After crafting some better weapons/tools/armor, I've now completed 7 out of 12 life master requests and am starting to get that looming feeling of, "What the hell do I do after this?". I kind of want to get all of the items from the various goddess statues, but we'll see how that goes. I'll probably take another break after I level up enough to kill the Lord of the Cursed (at 141 now and it's suggested you don't fight it until you're 150+).

 

[Nizzy]

i put 100+ hours into this game recently i finally got bored a part of me wants to sell maybe i should just buy the dlc first then make my decision

 

[LyraVale]

The problem I think is the storyline. So while it was fun, and I was enjoying what I was doing, I kept getting interrupted with the LOOOONG storyline sections. Now that the story is over, I'm also a bit tired of grinding work.

What they should have done is break the storyline up more. In shorter sections, it would have been much better. It wouldn't have kept getting in the way of the gameplay. Also, once the story "ended" it was the first big break I took, because I just felt like the game was "over" as well.

But I keep going back because I really do think it's fun still. I don't regret buying the game, and it's really good in a lot of ways. But they could have done better with the story part.

 

[LittleMissSpooky]

I keep trying to play it, and really get into it- because I know it has a lot of fun aspects....but really the biggest turnoff for me is the dialog/storyline. It seems WAY too...kid-ish? I think that's the word. Like I wouldn't mind it if it was just a tad more serious like Harvest Moon or Animal Crossing...but yeah. I'm not trying to sound like "I'm an adult and hate childish things blah blah blah", that isn't it at all. It was just difficult for me to even pay attention to the story while NPCs were talking because it was so corny.

 

[kaitastrophe]

Yay! A thread for my favorite nintendo game >u< (and the only one I play currently)
I recently restarted my game, and I'm trying to reach Legend in all lives- I have the DLC.
According to a very useful guide, I have to master them in this order because it's the fastest day. (Cook is a pain in the backside, to be honest.)

Paladin > Mining > Woodcutting > Blacksmith > Wizard > Angler > Carpenter > Tailor > Alchemist > Hunter > Cook

So yeah >u<
Wish me luck
