I just want to make useful stuff for the time I invest. The potions at the shops don't seem much worse, and money is not an object in this game. At least with Blacksmith and Tailor, the items I make are significantly better than store-bought.
I figured out that the armor with element bonuses are defensive, not offensive. I haven't battled against a big boss with a specific elemental attack to test the effectiveness.
I'm probably going to retire my wizard/alchemist/tailor and return back to my Paladin/Blacksmith/Miner. I was mainly starting over just to refresh my memory with the story. I've now reached the final chapter again, so I am caught up. Paladin with shield is just too fun, and making awesome weapons and armor is nice. I am growing tired of always having to back away and range attack.

Just got the game and I have a question. I finished the prologue and now I can do free stuff in reveria. Can I start changing lives? Or should I wait some main story event?

Do whatever. Story stuff is quite insignificant.
If they let you, it means you are free to go nuts and do what you want.

stupid question, what's the point of the active life? Apparently I can still fight if I'm a miner and collect mines if I'm a blacksmith.

stat boosts for the specific skills/attributes, iirc.
On top of the relevant attribute boosts, you get more materials while mining as a miner, and more wood if you chop trees as a woodcutter. You can complete some challenges while in any life, but if, for instance, you have a bounty challenge for paladin, you need to actually be a paladin when you turn in that bounty, otherwise you won't get challenge credit.
Could have been a lot worse if they didn't let you teleport back at nearly any time. I'd have preferred a more flexible system where you don't have to dedicate yourself to one class at any time, and they just let you go out and do whatever you want to do. This game wants you to lead multiple lives so much that they might as well have just gotten rid of the barriers.

I'm still salty the keyboard is shit.

I figured as much, but thought that, perhaps, there was a trick or something, ha ha. Anyway, thanks for the answer!
Ha ha, it's the very thread I found yesterday evening while looking out for tips. And no, don't have the DLC... have no real desire to buy it since I'm not even done with the main dish after 150h+, and with many other games to play. Maybe if there's a lull in release after the launch of the next handheld, I'll catch up to it...

I'm the same way with woodcutting. I need to cut down like 200 more trees. I guess it's ok since it will level my woodcutting skill up and give me plenty of wood to finish other crafting Lives.
Haven't played this game in almost 2 months though. I get addicted for a few weeks and then stop playing. I'll 100% it eventually though.

It worries me that ill finish a long day of work then fire up this sucker to complete menial tasks and other work but I find it so soothing and relaxing!
I have a task to kill some gorillas in the desert but I can't find them - any tips?

They're probably the ones to the south. You go down a little pathway iirc that takes you to the entrance to another area.

Oh nice, thanks - I keep going north and ending up in the Ancient Ruins. I'll hunt around more

Just came back to this game after quite a few months of inactivity, and I discovered my save data had apparently been erased. Has this happened to anyone else? Pretty weird glitch, considering it saves to the SD card.
Kind of a bummer to lose 60 hours of progress, but... I was thinking of restarting the game so I guess that works too. :-/

Haven't played in a while, but I loaded it up to see what my time was.who still plays? this week i`ll 100h
There are a few more things I could do, but I've pretty much got all the stuff I wanted to get. And that's how much money I have left over after going to every furniture store and making sure I have 5 of everything. This game gave me good value. Too bad about the sequel.
This game's been on my radar for a while and I was hoping for a Black Friday deal, but alas none to be found. So I'm leaning towards picking it up soon as I've been neglecting my 3DS and, outside of the Zelda or Atlus games, this is probably the biggest title I've overlooked. It seems to be a distant cousin of Animal Crossing, which is a series I adore. Just wondering if this game is still worth looking into. If I understand correctly there's an online element--is that still active or has it died off?

It's more Rune Factory than Animal Crossing.
You can play online but it's only with friends, so it'd only be dead if you can't find anybody to play with you.
Funny, I've had this game for a year and have never played the MP nor got the DLC. It's a bummer to hear that the only way to play the MP these days is with friends since I don't have anyone added who plays it. I definitely agree that this game a lot of bang for the buck despite the grinding monotony. I mean it's fascinating that Austin Walker made it his GOTY last year.
I haven't booted it up in a couple of months but would be interested in trying it out to take out a couple of dungeon super bosses.

Are you able to change your character appearance later in the game,
Dandy Crocodile

Yes, but it costs a good bit of money.
You can, though it's been so long since I played that I can't remember what the conditions are. You can never change your gender, though. And for some that's important since there are a couple gender specific armor sets that don't share stats.

Why isn't Fantasy Life 2 on 3DS then ? Still salty...

Because Fantasy Life 2 is Fantasy Life 1 but for mobile.

Sorry to bump this thread too but I'm desparately looking for a great coop game for the coming summer and I'm jumping here and there asking for toukiden, soul sacrifice and more and now... This. Is it worth takin fantasy life with the intention of playing it mostly for coop?

There's a lot of stuff you have to do solo but it is a lot of fun to play in coop. I put in a lot of time playing coop especially in the DLC area. I'd pick this over Toukiden for sure. I like toukiden a fair bit. I haven't played SSDelta or vanilla SS so can't comment.

Why wouldn't you get the actual Monster Hunter instead of a vastly inferior imitator?
OT though, about half of my (200 hour) playtime was spent in co-op and I had a blast.
Would definitely recommend (plus co-op is effectively mandatory for the DLC which is a lot of fun)

......oops.
It's a shame Generations isn't out for the summer, it would be ideal!
On the back of MH4 I personally found Toukiden to be painfully uninspired and dull but ymmv of course

I haven't maxed out all jobs but I've thought about replaying the game.
It was such a charming experience and the 90+ hours I put in to the game felt like almost nothing at all.
I just have so much more on my plate game wise that I feel like taking another 100+ hours on this game when I have so many more games that I want to play through this summer would be almost irresponsible.

Still haven't touched the DLC or done any post game stuff.

Sadly my wife and I stopped playing as well. We must have sunk about 50 hours into the game and we co-oped the majority of it. The funny thing is when we go on vacations and decide to bring our 3DS's (for long plane rides), we'll bring our copies and without playing for literally months, we can hop back in and immediately start playing and picking up from where we left off.
It's to the point where none of us can remember what's going on in the story but we just grind life quests for fun and can play it for 3-4 hours even. At this rate we'll probably finish it in 2020 but it'll be fun at least

Congratulations, that is quite an accomplishment. I have been wanting to play this game for a while now, but I have also been trying to finish my backlog of games first. Hopefully it will be soon, but I probably won't 100 percent it.

So Fantasy Life 2 is getting a closed beta this week on iOS and Android. (Remember, it's on smartphone because the game is for adults and adults don't play 3DS)
That news has just given me the urge to play the 3DS one again. Maybe do a few things different, go archer this time or see if I can beat the game as just gathering classes.
