Let's just put it this way. There are TONS of walkthroughs on youtube. Which made me get it.
But also, almost every 3ds game is 40$. So it's not really any different than spending your money on another game.
Just look up a walkthrough
I have 27 hours on the game and I'm only level 25, meaning I have another 175 levels to go until I'm fully leveled. Along with I'm only expert tailor and cook. I still have a few more ranks to go just for those two lives alone. 10 more lives to rank up in. This game has TONS of hours of gameplay.
But if you don't like games where you're constantly grinding. It's not for you. So if you don't like games like skyrim or runescape. Then it's not for you.
