I wasn't planning on buying this game. I'm not a huge fan of games like Animal Crossing or Sims, and that's what it looked like to me. My friend finally let me borrow his copy... and I played late into the night. It's that good! I bought it myself, but I was surprised at how little the value has dropped since the first distribution. Honestly, I think it's because no one wants to sell their copy. The gameplay is primarily a standard gaming RPG with a storyline, party, stats, abilities, bonus missions, etc. However, it is rare in that you can change your class at will. This allows you to be a completionist almost on your first run-through. There are NG+, which I feel always add to the replay value. The plot is neither predictable nor groundbreaking. It has a high replay value and it is easy to spend 50+ hours on one slot. This game is well worth both your time and your money. I would recommend it to both expert gamers and hobbyists.Read full review

Liked Animal Crossing graphics? Love RPG? Then Fantasy Life is for you. - Extensive maps for a DS console game, fluid characters movements and effects - Various monsters and bosses with different difficulties levels - 12 classes: 4 fighter, 4 collectors, 4 creators --> It's lengthy mastering all of them, especially in trying to get the best equipment. I found that party members have higher stats than the MC at the same level even though the MC can attack quicker. - Pretty good MC character customization! Reminds me of making a Mii. - Playful storyline that's pretty lengthy, mostly due to efforts in raising fighting power. Two save slots. - Fighting monsters and getting drops are pretty addictive. - Only real downside is repetitive crafting until it can be mastered+automated. - Furniture isn't as nearly expansive as Animal Crossing, but it's decent enough. - Tons of storage and bag space that can be increased through Bliss (essentially upgrade) system. Overall, easy to play RPG with difficulty mostly being increasing MC's stats. Fishing is actually more difficult here! Expect to be a true patient fisher when taking on new fish bosses...Read full review

The game is very charming with nice graphics and fairly simple mechanics. Each of the classes are fairly fun to use and each character has access to all of them which is pretty rare in a class-based RPG type game. It's nice, though, because it lets you easily craft your own armor, weapons, and supplies. All you have to do is gather the materials. There's plenty of humor in the game as well. Overall, very very fun.

This is a very good game, especially considering it's for such a small platform. It's basically a CRPG where you can pick from one of 12 jobs to do in a fantasy setting. While doing that job, you get bonuses for doing that job but you're free to change jobs whenever you wish. For example, a person with the Miner job gets more ore from mining. However, you can change jobs, and still mine things, but you get a normal amount of ore while doing another job. Of course, you have to be a Miner at some point in order to mine ore at all since jobs are how you gain skills. You can also advance in each job to give you additional abilities related to that skill. There's also a character level system which allows you to gain attribute points per level to place where you want. You get two per character level, which you can assign to things like Strength, Health, and so on. As you advance in your job, you also gain attribute points in two of the attributes that job is focused on. The game provides a very compelling illusion of freedom, though there is a story you can do as well. Read full review

Very good 3DS title if you can get it at less than $40, especially if you purchase the expansion. Great writing, characters, and interactions between lives (jobs). Very fondly remember my first playthrough and enjoying the story. Customization is also a nice plus. Note that it WILL get repetitive if you plan to 100% all the different lives, but that can be said of most all games. Highly recommend this game for imaginative/creative teens and young adults.

I've played a lot of games in my time but I must say that fantasy life holds a special place in my top 5 games of all times,let's make this more visual Final Fantasy 6 Chrono trigger Final Fantasy 2 Legend of Zelda: a link to the past Fantasy life Fantasy life's story is infused with quirky characters and a literal laugh out loud script that will have you returning to the land of Reveria time and time again in search for adventure. The life system is much like a job system you would find in the final Fantasy series. Jump into the shoes of a blacksmith and create your own armor and weapons or become a tailor and create clothes for your magician job. The combat system is a lot like Zelda a link to the past in terms of having control of your customized character to dodge enemy attacks as well as attacking freely. Combat has not been limited to a basic hack and slash, the 4 combat jobs ; mercenary, paladin, archer and magician, have the ability to expand their array of attacks by completing quests in according to their job. I'm sure there are somethings I'm forgetting to mention about fantasy life, but I'll say this; if you like a fleshed out customization system, crafting, adventuring, pitting yourself against huge bosses or a story with extremely likeable characters, fantasy life is definitely the game that will deliver.

I'm not horsing around, this is like new leaf on rounds, stop picking up litter and stupid shells and grab a sword and beat some trolls. Sword not good enough? Change into a miner and grab some ores, be a man and whack your own sword out of that stuff! Now that troll won't know what cut him! Hungry after that fight? Go home and cook up a meal, or make some clothes to go out with and pick up hot guys/gals.

Got this game for my nine year old. He likes games like: Terraria, Pokémon, and Viva Pinata. After doing some Research online, decided to get this as a gift and he has had lots of fun building up his character and doing all the different jobs in the game. Definitely different, definitely fun.

Great game. Kinda feels like an old school single player mmo. Life skills and battle quests. A good easy to play story. Fishing is fun. Like animal crossing with some story

I’ve had a lot of fun this game. My one complaint is that the map has no labels for certain things so it can be hard to find some of he locations for missions. Other than that, I highly recommend the game. It is very relaxing.
