Fantasy Life General Thread

Thanks I will try that tip. I have briefly gone back to being a paladin and have noticed how much more proficient I am at fighting now I have upgraded all my gear, it definitely seems worthwhile being a blacksmith for a while early on in the game

Will do, starting uni this week so I might take some time to settle down since the timetables are constantly changing :s.
My gaming life is being consumed by AC:NL since I started playing it :D
 
I've found out that the v1.6 patch disabled the ability of the LINK messaging system to add someone from my Japanese 3DS's Friend List whose their 3DS region isn't set to Japan. So, there is indeed a region-lock for that function. This has gotten me even more curious if I can still connect with European Fantasy Life players.

I added BiggKitty, dollydaydream, Uxie and NyaaChan to my Japanese 3DS Friend List. Tomorrow afternoon, I'd like to try connecting to you guys and see if I can enter to your world or host mine without being interrupted by some form of region-lock.

I would like to play with you guys, too! I'm only level 10 though, just changed from paladin to fishergirl.
I'm astounded at how smoothly the job change goes since the game covers you with new job-related story bits and tasks as soon as you change. Everyone only seems to care mainly about fish now :)
Will be changing to magician or alchemist soon, though.

Do any of you follow any strategy in this game? I was thinking about getting the licenses for all the jobs to cover all the basic skills first, but I feel this would take forever. So for now, I'm intending a loose "combat-gatherer-creator"-rhythm and just change whenever it feels right. But I do want to try everything out at some point.

I also wonder how many story chapters there are, and how they change depending on the current job. Until now (being a paladin), I've had a lot of combat; surely there isn't so much fighting involved when you start as a cook, for example, is there?

Yes! But the dragons are only available on Origin Island, so you'll have to beat the main story first and be level 50. The birds, however, are available at the beginning if you have the DLC.
 
I am going to buy the game today ^^ Probably going for an Archer or Magician. Most likely Archer, I already see some magicians =P I'll see what suits me most.

I only have a meagre dog for now, but yes, did get to name him, and he follows me around everywhere, he can be a bit of a pain at times, as I found a sleeping giant carroty and thought I would surprise attack it while it was snoozing, but Foxy rushed up to him barking and woke him so surprise sneaky attack was thwarted.
 
I am probably going for the black dog <3 and the pink/green/blue bird. I'll leave the other spot open for NPC to join my party =)

Just a few more minutes before I hop unto the bus and get my game! :D I'll still have college in the afternoon though <_<
 
Right, the first shop I stopped by... sold out. Already since the first days of release, and he expected the next batch in 1-2 days. The other shop had it in stock, so I got my copy!
Also got Hyrule Warriors for my boyfriend ^_^
 
I cant find 'Elderwood' I have been before but every time I go back I can only find 'Mount snowpeak' or 'Port Puerto' where am I going wrong?
 
I've been wondering, too...

How's the game if you start off as a cook?
 
From what I've heard, you'd still be able to finish the main story quests. My guess is that you indeed can, but you'll be behind in level compared to your combat/gather-Life friends who also gain experience from monsters and gathering.

My plan is to start with the 3 gather Lives (miner, angler and woodcutter) and then with my main combat Life (which is going to be Archer) to continue the story and quests, so I can keep getting materials to sell wherever I go.
 
I found Elderwood, , it was in between the two port Puerto and Mt Snowpeak, kind of straight up head north

I have done the same three Melyora.
 
Aaaaaand my college is a bit delayed, so they will continue until they're done <_< I was already supposed to be busy with household chores, today without this extra time, I hope I can find time to play Fantasy Life today T_T
 
Okay, does anyone know where I can find Hugues (the scientist)? He's not in the Castle nor the Library and I have no idea where he could be. :(

I figured I'd finally explore Port Puerto today and it's amazing! I haven't gotten very far yet, but I'm really loving this new area! :D

By the way, I tested the Bliss Bonus where you can own your own horse and it's absolutely worthless. Seriously; spend your Bliss Points on something else. The horse will wait for you if you dismount it, yes, but it'll still run away when it gets attacked, so it's not that much different from when you rent a horse.

And fun fact; the game is out of stock on Amazon France. It'll be in stock again on October 3rd. I'm not sure if they had a small stock to begin with or if the game is more popular than they'd thought it'd be, but it kinda made me smile to see that. :)

Do any of you follow any strategy in this game?

Not really. I started as a Paladin because it seemed to be a good choice for a beginner (good balance between offense and defense), but that's pretty much it. There's so much to do that I have a hard time choosing. And I'm still not sure what I want to be as a "final" fighting class, so I haven't used my points yet. Needless to say that's hurting me while in battle, but hey, I've managed to get to level 11, so being stubborn and persistent helps, haha!

Yeah, from what I've read, as long as you place some stats in combat, you should be fine. So just play the game how you want. ;)

We might want to try and trade in-game as well. I think there's a limit, though, on how many items you can trade; three or so? And I'm not sure either how exactly it all works, but I'd be more than happy to share whatever I have that can be useful for someone else! :)

Aw I love when I get into a new game, cuz it actually makes getting through annoying chores/work/etc easier if you have something to look forward to. It's like when you have a crush on someone in your class or at work...you actually look forward to going there. lol :)

Exactly! I was at work today and time seemed to be passing faster than usual! :p

By the way; for those who are interested in customizing furniture, make sure to talk to the talking flower (Lily something) in Florina's house. She can dye things for you! You have to bring her a flower of the color you want to dye the item and she'll then do it for you. I haven't tested it yet, but I figured it might be interesting to know. :)

I aim on getting a bit of dosh and making a set of iron gear in my blacksmith life. I still haven't allocated any points, but I am vastly improved in fighting all the nasties on the grassy plains since upgrading my gear to leather and bronze items, they have made a huge difference to my fighting skills.

I doubt any two of us will play this game exactly the same, there are such a huge variety of options available. My dog helps out a bit with the fighting, I may try getting a second one and see what happens.

Thanks for letting us know about the horse, will scrub that idea then.
