Fantasy Life General Thread

[FriendlyVillager]

I am no expert, but so far it's fun. You have your main quests and can take up side quests (up to 30) which give you rewards on completion. I think you can do a ton of other things (exploration, etc). Though a more experienced player can help you out. So far I have 9 hours into the game (with probably half being afk lol) and I have a lot to do. I like to take my time and do things which is probably why. XD




Yay! We should so multiplayer one day! Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I am atm!

Do you mean there are 30 side quests in total in the whole game? Or that you can have 30 at a time?

She means you can have up to 30 at one time.

I don't know why, but I really like playing as an angler more so than some of the other classes I tried out (blacksmith, cook, paladin, and miner.)

I'm really loving this game, it's extremely addictive.

30 at a time.

I finally added a new section to my OP. It may be not perfect as of now, but it'll improve within your feedback. If you don't like going back to my first post of the topic, here's a quote of it.

Well done with all the work you are doing with your opening post to assist newbies to the game, I am sure it is much appreciated

I want to get this game but like Eldin I think $60 is too much. Maybe someone who's played this game for 100+ hrs can help me?

1) How repetitive/grindy is this game compared to say ACNL? Like in ACNL, if you want to get anything rare like a scorpion, it takes hours just doing the same thing over and over and over until you get lucky. Is Fantasy Life a lot like that, or is the 100 hours you play all doing different & new things

2) Does Fantasy Life have things that you can only do once a day like ACNL? Cuz I really hated that and I don't want to have 2 games that I TT, too hard to keep track of clock

You can do everything in this game, how and when you want, there is nothing you have to do every day, you can put the game down and come back two real life days later and nothing has spoilt, the game waits for you.

The game is based around completing a lot of quests, different ones for each life, they are very addictive, you complete one and feel you have to do "just one more", for each quest you will either have to gather a material or complete an action or craft an item, every one different, so no repetition there. As your life level rises the quests become harder and you may have to search out an ingredient needed, which maybe involves killing a certain monster for a necessary drop, but there is no way it is boring in FL just a challenge to complete with a sense of satisfaction when you find the item.
Crafting itself is a quite addictive mini game that I have found myself returning to because I want to not because I have to, so much so that I think I might now be suffering repetitive strain injury of my thumb and index finger ( how embarrassing to have admit the cause to outsiders).

I have played for near 140 hours now with no end in sight and certainly never suffered a moment of boredom, in fact the game is almost taking over my life, something ACNL never did.

There are a lot of quests in this game, you have the ones for the life you currently play which when completed will raise your life level to Legend or if you have the DLC you can attain God status. Then as you walk around and talk to people you will be asked to complete a request, you can accept up to 30 of these and then either have to complete or cancel some before you can accept any more. Lastly there are Flutter "Bliss" quests from your butterfly friend which when completed will give you points and when you get enough you can choose a prize from a list which includes items like getting a larger item bag, permission to own an animal etc.

For me, it is the exact opposite. I really don't like the mini games;I find them boring and repetitive. But the thing is that I need better gear because I'm stuck not being able to defeat certain creatures. So I'm trying to get better at the mini games because I don't have much of a choice, but it's not something I enjoy doing, to be honest. I honestly can't play a mini game for more than five minutes before I want to do something else, you know?

But it's different for everyone. I know there are many people who absolutely love the mini games and that's great. But I'll admit I find it frustrating that they feel to me more like an obligation than anything else (like I said; I need better gear and the best gear is the one you craft, so...).

 

[Trio4meo]

Anybody want to try out the multiplayer with me?
I am still yet to try it..

I would I havent tried it out either because none of my friends play it :c btw I dont have the dlc and I'm in the UK

if you want to let me know what gear you would like, I will craft it for you.

I quite enjoy the mini games as well , at the moment I'm having to turn all my ore into ingots and there's a lot lol. I'm trying to get everything done by the end of next month as I'll be busy with another game after that. So far so good .

 

[Eldin]

But so far, on a scale from 0 to 10 i give this game a NolifeSocialAndFriendshipNosleeping/10

Aha, I like this. It does sound like I would enjoy it, and I might do the same thing, just wait to get the DLC.

As for somebody else mentioning not wanting to TT to do daily things like AC, does this game run on a real-life clock? I never even thought about it, I just assumed it didn't.

No it doesn't run on a real life clock, whenever you log back in the game is exactly where you left it time wise

It is not. It runs on a different thingy, can't remember the name, so it isn't able to connect with europe or NA games. But NA / EUR can connect with each other.

 

[JCnator]

As of now, it turns out that the Japanese version of Fantasy Life (even the LINK! version) completely rules out the possibility of ever interacting with players not owning that version!
I tried to connect locally between my Japanese version and my North American one, both of which have their DLC kit activated. And they obviously failed to do so. Even the StreetPass feature doesn't work between these versions. The reason behind this form of region-lock is certainly a mystery.

For the record, the current version of the Japanese game is v1.6/v1.6L, with the latest Newtork version being 1.4.1. The North American/European is at v1.0, with the Network version being around 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 if you got the Origin Island DLC.

That's a real shame , it would have been nice to play all together. At least EU and U.S. regions can interact though right?

Quick question about the Origin Island expansion - is there a way to disable / enable it? I know you cannot play with other players who don't have it and that's about it. Thank you for any help!

From Downloadable Content Menu, you can simply delete the Origin Island DLC to enable playing with anyone who don't have the DLC installed. I haven't tried to do that yet, but I assume that you won't be penalized since the Origin Island content is already on the game data anyway. Though, you'll want to ask if the players you'd like to play if they did install the DLC.


Speaking of that, I'm one of the players who grabbed the DLC, so you won't need to uninstall it. I completed every chapter of the main story and I'm currently sitting at level 20. Feel free to add my 3DS NA Friend Code and specify if you got the DLC!

Ah yeah, I see! I do plan to get the DLC down the line. I still wanted to play with friends who won't buy it though. Not too sure if I am adventurous enough to delete the file and test it XD.

We could play sometime too! I'm still no where near level 50 and the like, so... yeah. I don't have the DLC yet until I get nearer to the level 50 req + completing main line since I won't be able to access it atm anyway (??).

Yes you can have six in total (with DLC), one house five holiday homes.
