Sigh... This would be a neutral review if I could make it one, but this deserves to be heard. I came to Fantasy Life i as a hardcore fan of the original 3DS title, and while yes I do think this is a fun and pretty sequel with an addictive gameplay loop and a ridiculous amount of content (as I would expect from a Fantasy Life game!) this is a game that holds some flaws that are painfully hard to overlook. If you want the good, read other people's reviews. As I said, it's addictive, and the early-mid game is very well done in my opinion. Also the crafting minigames are no longer quite as carpal tunnel inducing as in the original, which I am grateful for. As far as gameplay goes, it's the late game where you will start to see the problems that arose from an obviously conflicted vision for the game. I'm talking of course about the RNG and daily mechanics. There are a sizable portion of recipes which can only be learned through engaging with these systems, or have materials that can onl...

Best Farm/Grind Multiplayer Dungeon Crawler. Ive played long time. Also the one time fee instead of constant micro-transactions.

Feels like the game is trying hard to prolong your game time with redundant RNG and daily limit. Daily recipes that take months to collect without system tweak or time traveling, pray for good luck if there's a specific recipe you are after. Beat the main story to realize I need another 10 days to unlock something. Even though I love grinding for materials and levels, the RNG factor like weapon skills and treasure groves tire me eventually. Combat is buggy because of its uneven terrain, monsters got stuck and deaggro from time to time. Art style is nice, characters are cute. Recommended if you just want a dip. Once a threshold is passed, the more you play, the worse it gets.

[b]The Good:[/b] [list] [*]The freedom to choose different Lives is super fun! One minute I'm crafting, the next I'm in a heated battle. Keeps things interesting. [*]Teaming up with friends for monster-slaying quests adds a cool co-op element to the game. It's always a blast to strategize together.

If you like the grind, you'll like this game. Especially the 100% which feel like it would take hundreds of hours! The main game can be completed in about 40-60 hours depending on your pace and how much side content you do.

I love this game, I wish I could play it but I can't, as that would delete my daughter's savefile. A solution could be making another Steam account but I am not willing to take the inconvenience. Still, it's a great game, could be better with multiple save files.

it's super addictive, very casual and cute. always something to do

I don't write reviews often, almost never in fact. But I have to for this game, it is a hidden gem and we need more games like this. This game can be hundreds of hours of fun. Story is cute but very simplistic but the side content in this game is the major selling point. It is very grindy at times but rarely feels like a drag because you can quickly see your progress, farming the legendary mats at the end is one of the only groan points. The developers listen to feedback and are still providing patches. And a huge positive point for many: NO microtransactions in the game, even though this type of game could easily be monetized. If you are looking for a well rounded RPG that does more than just combat and story this is it. It is basically single player FFXIV, with some optional monster hunter/pokemon-esque co-op.

I am almost 300 hours in and honestly still have much more stuff for me to complete Fantasy Life i, and honestly, it’s a cozy little gem. If you loved the first Fantasy Life or games like Rune Factory, this one hits all the right notes. The game lets you switch between tons of “Lives” (jobs) — warrior, cook, angler, crafter, magician, you name it. You can fight monsters, gather resources, craft gear, and even customize your own town. The life-simulation aspect is relaxing but still gives you a reason to keep grinding. Overall after finishing this I can't wait to dive into the 3ds version and have another cozy moment with this series

The Girl has stolen my time. Great chill game to play with friends. Was shocked that it took as much grinding as it did to fulfill me. Finishing up my final achievement as I write this.
