I. INTRODUCTION/WHAT IS FANTASY LIFE?



ii. WHAT IS FANTASY LIFE?

Well I’m so glad you asked! You’ve come to the right place! Fantasy Life is an RPG. The end.

I kid, I kid. While Fantasy Life is an RPG, it has so much more to offer than your standard run of the mill Final Fantasy, or Dragon Quest. Fantasy Life is YOUR life. Meaning at the very beginning of the game you will be asked to make a character. You have tons of options for face, hair, eyes, color, weight, height, etc. (And yes, there are options for beards. Beards, people! BEARDS). After you’ve created your character you will then be asked which “Life” you’d like to start out with. You’ve just been born into this brand new world. You have to make a living somehow, right? There are 12 different “Lives” or “Classes” or “Jobs you can choose from.



Block Size (so far in the UK but should be the same in NA- Total) l 6,856 + DLC which equals 6,858 blocks.



II. CHOOSING A JOB AND STATS

12 different Lives to choose from? You don’t say? What are they?

Yes! Actually I do, indeed, say. And here’s a list of Lives you can choose from:

Paladin (Combat)

Mercenary (Combat)

Hunter (Combat)

Wizard (Combat)

Blacksmith (Craft)

Carpenter (Craft)

Tailor (Craft)

Alchemist (Craft)

Cook (Craft)

Angler (Gather)

Woodcutter (Gather)

Miner (Gather)

The Lives are broken up into battling classes, foraging classes, and crafting classes.



HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Get a license in the gathering classes such as mining, woodcutting and fishing. You’ll need to gather as many materials as you can for crafting unless you enjoy buying materials or running back and forth. For both the woodcutter and mining challenges, you are required to mine/cut 400/500 nodes/trees so START EARLY.





EXTRA INFORMATION:



~For your first job, you have to do the tutorial but only once. After that you are free to switch jobs during free time. You can also skip the tutorials after the initial job you’ve selected.

~Three save slots available

~You can carry up to 3 bounty boxes total and only 3 bounty boxes can exist in the world. If you destroy another big monster, one of the boxes will disappear.

~Bounty clerks are located in the Guild Office in any town otherwise while in the field, they are scattered but still in a spot where the player would not have to travel far. If you don’t feel like traveling around with your bounty, there are various Reverian guards who will auto transport you back to town with your bounties.

*WARNING: Bounties can be destroyed by you, an outside team mate and the enemies. Be careful and defend your box, run away from enemies and put away your weapon before taking the bounty box!

~Exploration is key in this game. You will find areas that you never expected so search extensively in every town. NA 3DS FC: 0361-6567-5010 PSN: Curiousiko

User Info: CuriCurry CuriCurry (Topic Creator) 5 years ago #4 III. ADVANCING THE STORY

~You advance the story by fulfilling Flutter’s main quests and gaining bliss points, this includes the quests given during your “free time”. Once the requests are fulfilled, she will tally your points and you are able to move on simply by speaking to her. She will always have an exclamation point over her when the next chapter is ready to begin. IF YOU FIND YOURSELF STUCK, TRY GOING TO SLEEP.

Be sure to talk to the NPCs with a question mark on their head. They will have another quest or recipe to give you in case you get stuck gaining more bliss points.



IV. MULTIPLAYER

~Unlocks after the prologue and during the first chapter. You will be instructed to return to the Guild Office and speak to the LINK clerk where Screenshots will also become available.

~Multiplayer allows you and two other people (total of 3) to visit your world and go on adventures. While in someone’s world, you are free to craft, fight monsters, trade and turn in bounties and travel to different parts of the map on your own.

NOTE: You cannot travel to a place on the map that has not been unlocked yet. For example, I cannot travel to the second town in your world if you haven’t beaten that chapter of the story.



~You communicate in multiplayer by using text chat and quick text to friends online. The only people you can play with online are those on your friend list. The conversations are also saved in a text log to easily keep up with conversation if one of you were busy. Think of the Best Friend feature in Animal Crossing.



~Things you can do in Multiplayer:

~Fast Travel

~Trade items/equipment/clothing

~Fight big monsters and receive bounty items

~Complete life challenges.



~Things you CANNOT do in Multiplayer:

~Bring pets along

~Side or Main quests *NOTE If you’ve accepted a side quest before you went online

~Save (This may change. I did test this but a second confirmation is appreciated)



~When fighting monsters, all players involved in fighting monsters will receive money and experience. What is not shared is the item from a bounty box. The best suggestion is to speak before hand about who will receive the bounty prize. Enemies respawn fairly quickly so the bounty box rewards can be easily gotten again. Another option is going to your friend’s world and getting a bounty there.



VERY IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN USING MULTIPLAYER

~You can only trade items when multiplayer is open. Use the red box in the Guild Office to trade items (Total of 8 spots open) between each other. When you go to pick up an item, the game will ask if you want to save to which you respond yes.

DO NOT PUT AN ITEM IN THE BOX THEN SHUT OFF MULTIPLAYER. THE ITEM WILL DISAPPEAR. NA 3DS FC: 0361-6567-5010 PSN: Curiousiko

User Info: CuriCurry CuriCurry (Topic Creator) 5 years ago #5 V. PETS AND NPCS

~There are a total of 4 different types of pets you can buy and 4 types of mounts (Mounts are used for traveling faster): Dog, cat, bird* and dragon* and the mounts include Horse, turtle, camel and alpaca. There are three main towns where you can adopt different pets with different color schemes. In other words, the appearance of the pet depends on where you adopt him from.



~You can have a total of 3 pets living with you but only two can travel with you. You can have different combination of pets such as three cats, two bird and one dog, three dragons, whatever you want.



~Your pet fights alongside you and can heal itself so don’t worry about losing your pet.



~If you already have three pets but want to try using another pet, you must trade in one of the pets you already own. That means you lose the friendship level with that current pet.



~The more you fight alongside your pet, the higher friendship level goes and the stronger it becomes. Unfortunately, certain NPCs will outclass the pets further into the story.



~For mounts, you can rent them or buy them. Want to know more about Horses? Visit this FAQ for more details: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/971712-fantasy-life/70221092



ii. NPCS

~You can recruit various NPCs to help you in your adventures though not right away. You have to rank up in your life to be able to ask them to come adventure with you.



~There are certain NPCs that will travel with you regardless of what profession you are but for the most part, a Hunter cannot recruit the master of the Paladin class unless you are currently in that class and have reached a high rank.



VI. Houses

~There are a total of 6 houses that you can buy and live in/own. Besides the attic in your main town, there are three other houses in Castele that you can buy and move into permanently. However, you can only own one house in the main town, Castele. This is what you sink your money into. You also have the option of never moving out of the attic.



~Houses vary in size and can be customized however you want. Think of this part as a downsized Animal Crossing. You have a limited amount of space to customize and the furniture sets cannot be customized any further. The furniture sets are also based on the world and its main cities.



**I only moved houses once but it was just a matter of storing everything inside my storage, going to the other house and unpacking everything in a single button. NA 3DS FC: 0361-6567-5010 PSN: Curiousiko

User Info: CuriCurry CuriCurry (Topic Creator) 5 years ago #6 VII. DLC For NA players, it will most likely be $9.99



i. HOW TO ACTIVATE DLC

~Complete the main story

~Befriend Yuelia and Noelia. Yuelia becomes an automatic ally after completing the main story. Noelia can be allied with after your character reaches level 45

~Reach Level 50

~After completing all the above, go and speak to Yuelia in your house.

~Here is a website detailing what is entailed in the DLC according to the Fantasy Life UK Website: http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-3DS/Fantasy-Life-899654.html



IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ONLINE PLAY AND DLC ACCORDING TO UK WEBSITE:

~Simply select ‘Payable Content’ from the Fantasy Life main menu and follow the instructions to go to the purchase page in Nintendo eShop.

Please note:

Players who have purchased the Origin Island Expansion Pack cannot connect in multiplayer with players who have not purchased it. Multiplayer connection will only be possible with other owners of the Expansion Pack.



ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE ACCORDING TO HOURS_LEFT:

So, after speaking with players that have purchased the DLC in the English version at the start of the game, it is as some people such as myself have suspected, not all the DLC is locked away until after you beat the main story.



Aspects such as the extra character creation parts and the pet birds (which normally should start to be available in the first town once you reach the correct Bliss level) are available at the same time as they were in the Japanese version. This seems to be more in line with how the game was released in Japan. Certain aspects such as the presence of the Friendship System, and all the new items and ranks still need to be confirmed, but this is a good sign, as arbitrarily locking away early game DLC content until after the main story would have made no sense.



Of course, Origin Island itself, the quests associated with it, and the pet dragons available there are still exclusive to after you beat the main story, as they were in the Japanese version.



TLDR version: Don't wait until after you've beaten the game to get the DLC if you were planning to get it anyway, as you'll miss out on content that is present during the main quest.



Nuderval’s contribution: I'll try to compare what LINK added to the Japanese game with what we'll get with and without the DLC on the western version:



1. What LINK added and we will get without DLC:

o2 extra character slots (for a total of 3);

oOnline co-op.



2. What LINK added and we will only get with DLC:

oA new area (Origin Island);

oExtra character features (for customization);

oNew materials, equipment and recipes;

oGod rank;

oBirds and Dragons (as pets);

oNew home and furniture;

oFriendship system (allows NPCs to become friends with you and fighting better);

oLunares coins and the items you get from them.

oLevel cap increased from 99 to 200;

oLevel cap for the skills increased from 15 to 20;

oStats cap increased from 50 to 100. NA 3DS FC: 0361-6567-5010 PSN: Curiousiko

1. I didn’t like Animal Crossing. I don’t like cutesy games for kids. I’ve heard this game is like Animal Crossing. It’s for kids. I’m an adult. I wear big people panties. I’m not a kid. So this game must not be for me. Right?



WRONG. I honestly have no idea why Treehouse (Nintendo’s development and translation team) keeps comparing Fantasy Life to Animal Crossing, other than the fact that Treehouse worked on both. The ONLY things that are similar (other than the cutesy characters. You don’t like cute? Get out.) Between the two are character customization and the ability to decorate your house in game. The character customization in Fantasy Life is so much more in depth than in AC, but the house customization is not as great. That’s it. Oh, and multiplayer. Though in AC you were able to have 4 characters, including yourself in game, while in FL you can only have a total of 3 characters playing at a time, including yourself. Oh! One last thing: You can change your hair style in FL, just like in AC.



2. Is this game like Rune Factory?



THANK YOU!!!!! And yes. Fantasy Life is much better compared to Rune Factory than Animal Crossing. The only things that Fantasy Life doesn’t share with RF are the relationship elements, and farming elements. Fantasy Life does not have any marriage or dating, nor does it have farming. Crafting? Yes. A lot. Item drops to make higher quality things like armor and clothing? Yep. Food? You betcha



3. Oh no! WitchBaby4200 I chose the wrong life! My life is ruined! I hate my virtual not real life! What do I do?! Do I have to start the game over?!



It’s totally cool! No worries! You know how you wake up one day and don’t feel like going to work or school? You just feel like your life is going in the wrong direction? You want to cry? Or run around naked screaming “Bees!”? No? Just me then. Anyway…. Fantasy Life rewards you for changing your life! You can be all of these! You are constantly evolving in real life, why not in your game life, too? (More about your Lives later on in this FAQ) You don’t want to cook today? That’s okay. Go fishing and relax for a bit. You want to let out some frustrations and kill things? Cool. Cool. I understand. Fantasy Life understands too! You can choose one of three fighting lives and go kill some monsters in real time battles. Not turn based. Real time.



4. So can I switch jobs whenever I want?

Only during free time. Not during the main story. NA 3DS FC: 0361-6567-5010 PSN: Curiousiko

User Info: CuriCurry CuriCurry (Topic Creator) 5 years ago #8 5. Do I constantly have to switch jobs just to do something else? For example, if I want to mine nodes but I’m currently a Paladin, do I have to switch back and forth just to do that job?



No you do not. As long as you get the license, you can mine as a Paladin, fish as a Hunter or cook as a Blacksmith. IF YOU HAVE THE LICENSE, YOU CAN DO JOBS SIMULTANEOUSLY. The only reason to switch jobs is to gain the bonus points and to rank up after you’ve completed the job quests. If you’ve been making clothes as a Paladin life and you’ve gained all the stars for Tailor, fast travel to the Guild Office, change your job to tailor, talk to your master and you will rank up. Simple!



6. Is my appearance permanent?

Not entirely. You can change the color of your clothes, hairstyle, hair color and **facial features (only with DLC) when you unlock the options via bliss points.



7. I’m tired of the standard clothes. Can I wear a dress, tuxedo, shorts or whatever?



Yes you can however certain clothes are only for certain genders and classes. A male can’t wear dresses and vice versa. A Hunter also cannot wield a shield or certain armor. The tailor can make clothes for both men and women regardless of their own gender.



8. Can I complete the game as one life and only in single player?



Yes you can. You can complete the entire game as a Tailor if you wanted. However, there are rare materials that you’ll need further down the line where NPCs or people on your friend list can help you out. The main story is about 10 hours long and requires very little combat to complete. I put in 87 hours alone and spent 2 hours with multiplayer. You can also master every life on one save file character. NA 3DS FC: 0361-6567-5010 PSN: Curiousiko

Treehouse (the development and translation team for NoA) has a couple vids out. One is from E3 (for most this being their first look into Fantasy Life) and the other is from their Twitch Live broadcast that aired last week. I don't know about you, but the blonde chick annoys the crap out of me. But if you like her, that's totally fine!
