oh snap, a game with Yoshitaka Amano and Uematsu came out this year and I didn't know about it. It sucks that it has to be on the 3DS. That always seems to happen.

Finally got around to finishing the main story and it wasn't half bad when taken in small doses. The problem is that finishing so many of the story segments is just a matter of following the red arrows, talking to people and reading dialogue. I can understand the developers want the game to be beatable with any life, so there's no required boss battles or crafting challenges, but it might've been better if they threw in some puzzles or something to keep the player engaged.
Mastered hunter, miner and blacksmith so far. Once I finish up woodcutter and carpenter, then maybe I'll go back and work on all the other jobs I've been neglecting.

Only one solution then, buy a 3DS. Plenty of good games to justify the purchase!
But time is a factor. I decided that i have enough dosh to get enough to make 200 of each recipes and was able to auto+ 10 at a time and blitz through 2 of the level 15 challenges
I'm the only one touting the Fantasy Life OST in this Uematsu thread. The soundtrack deserves way more love.
Oh, most definitely. I just wasn't sure what you meant when you said "extra dosh from 10x". Turns out I misunderstood you.

You're assuming a negro got ducketts.
Ducketts? Is that like The Chipettes?
Quack!
But seriously, it would be rather cheap to snag a used 3DS and this game. It wouldn't cost very many

Make some dosh man, do yourself a solid.

Only like 7 hours in, but the writing in this game is surprisingly endearing. Really digging the humor.
Was not expecting there to be much actual conflict, so it's interesting to see that play out.

Yesterday, Jeremy Parish posted a good article on the reception of Fantasy Life: http://www.usgamer.net/articles/2014-recap-fantasy-life-and-the-pleasure-of-doing-it-wrong
He basically summarises all the points that have been discussed in the thread - I posted about it here and here, for example - but it's still a nice read.

Woo, creator rank in Paladan, Merc, Wizard and Angler. Put those Poseidon Swordfish to use and got everything i wanted from the vendor and now playing the Lunares slots. Got everything i wanted out of the Port Puerto one, need the sword from Castele and have 26 coins to get the bow and armor from Elderwood and everything from Al Maajik
I would guess most people do. It really adds a decent amount, I was really satisfied with it.

As someone who usually enjoys something like Animal Crossing for a week or two and then gets bored by the reptition and the grind is there enough original content and gameplay in this game to keep it interesting?

It's not Animal Crossing, it's an Action RPG.

I find the DLC to be extremely substantial and that it adds to the game immensely. One of the best DLC upgrades I've ever purchased.
If you do plan to get it, don't wait, because there is content you'll have access to during the main campaign as well, not just post game.

A whole bunch more codes for Europe today! They're really blitzing through these now.

I'm jealous at how much they like showering the EU with codes. :/
On another note, best pal is moving soon and doesn't need any more physical games so I picked up an eShop card and listed instructions that she is to buy this game with the DLC. So that'll be one more adventurer in the world after Christmas to StreetPass.

I was taking screenshots of all the different pets and holy moly is the dialogue when you return a pet absolutely brutal! As it should be though.
I made sure not to save because I could never return my digital pets.

Nice! Thanks for keeping us posted : )
Also, just in case anyone was curious, I was trying to test how long you can have God/Creator Mode on: video
(It's long enough to loop and a bit/to defeat a tower boss.)
Getting this game christmas day!! So excited! Any tips for starting out like what class would be best in the beginning?
Edit: Also here's my friend code if anyone wants to do some online: 0731 5726 2116. And one more question, is it recommended to buy the DLC? Do most Gaffers have it? I'm wondering because I wouldn't be able to play with those who do own it.

Which ever one appeals to you most. Switching is extremely easy and highly encouraged.
I would suggest getting all the licenses at the beginning, especially for the gathering classes though. (Woodcutter, Angler & Miner.)

When I was still heavily into the game it was a major priority but at the current rate my friends are playing I doubt they'll ever beat the game and I'll just forget about it.
Ugh. I went for only four classes from the beginning, and that almost made me quit. I can't imagine trying to get them all going.

It took me three hours to do all twelve but that was with playing every single tutorial.
It'd take maybe an hour or so to go through and get them all since you can skip the tutorials and get the exact same benefits.

Eh, I didn't have any issues. I was happy to get them all going so I could switch freely.

Read the OT, all the DLC including what you get when is detailed there.
Personally, if you plan to get the DLC I'd get it ASAP so you can make use of the available content. The friendship system, extra storage and extra houses are especially useful during the main campaign, plus the added customization parts are nice to have access to.

Merry Christmas! I'll get to do some local multiplayer Fantasy Life with my cousins at the family get-together tomorrow.

So I just had the Lunares EX tale begin, but as far as I'm aware I haven't activated the post-game DLC as my skills cap is still at 15 and rank caps at Legendary.
Is it safe to do these EX tales without removing this cap, or will doing so automatically activate/unlock everything else?

After much mulling, I decided to get this game (though the store next to where I'm at has no copies. I did see a bunch of copies in another store). I have been interested in this game, but I never realized that this game had Yoshitako Amano and Uematsu working together again (which sold me on the game, honestly).
Hold me GAF, I am excite.

I got this game for Christmas! I'm liking it so far, but I've been playing for about two hours now and this tutorial is still going on. Most of the dialog is not interesting...I just want to chop some damn trees!

Helped my daughter get through the tutorial, felt like I read through a novel.

Delving into the post-game DLC now. Holy wow is Origin Island huge! O_O
For some reason I can't make up my mind on which combat life to be. I've been crafting and gathering as well as trying out all the combat classes and none of them really stand out to me as something I 100% want to do.
Here is what I do or do not know.
- I do not 100% want to be a Wizard. Lot of activities seem to use SP and Wizards rely on it so that's a no go.
- I want to pick a class that does the most damage (disregarding Wizard of course).
- So far I like Paladin for their speed and Hunter for their Range.
- Merc looks cool but in the tutorial I was so slow. Not sure if I really want to pick that but I'm not fully against it either.
Anybody wanna help me pick a Combat class based on my thoughts here? 0_0
