Planned by Level-5, Fantasy Life is an RPG with a strong production lineup, with Nobuo Uematsu as the composer, Kitaka Amano as the concept illustrator, and Level-5 with Brownie Brown, who once worked on Earth Adventure 3, and was also a 3DS hit in 2012.
The biggest feature of this game is that players can choose their favorite 12 classes to develop: kingdom soldiers, mercenaries, hunters, magicians of the battle department, and carpenters, miners, woodcutters, blacksmiths, alchemists, anglers, tailors, and cooks of the production department.
Players can start their own fantasy life in a virtual town, is it quite a feeling of life in another world?
The 12 professions mentioned above are not all combat occupations like "FF", 2/3 of the occupations are life occupations, each profession needs to repeatedly do the things that you can do in your own profession to accumulate proficiency and upgrade step by step, if you are an angler, you need to go fishing, the chef has to cook by yourself, the tailor has to sew clothes, and so on...
You can develop all classes in a balanced way or just focus on a few of them, just like really living in a small town, learning and mastering a few skills to survive, play games, I don't want to fight, I don't want to fight, and having fun in a small town is the most important.
Whatever career you choose to pursue, you'll want to get three elements of your story in the game: wealth, achievement, and happiness.
Wealth is the monetary unit of the Fantasy Realm, and in addition to selling items, you can also gain wealth by doing quests and defeating monsters.
Achievements are obtained from the Master after completing the work of each life form. As long as you accumulate achievements, you can level up your life skill by upgrading your license. After upgrading your license, you can also learn new skills that can come in handy in all kinds of scenes.
Happiness can be accumulated as long as anything good happens in a day. Accumulate enough happiness to be able to do things like moving or raising horses to make your life change more.
This layer of related settings makes the player's adventure in the game very substitutionary, no matter what you do in the game will be rewarded, that is, the so-called hard work will be rewarded.
The follow-up update of "Fantasy Life Link" added an important WIFI online function, so that you can play happily with friends, but this online system is a bit perfunctory, you call friends to come to your world, but you can only fight monsters, shopping, send gifts together, and can not advance the main line of tasks together, for me personally there are some regrets.
In fact, now I think this game is a more liver of the "Animal Forest", the same cute and cute cartoon style, two-headed characters, relaxed and casual gameplay, in the game to do nothing more than life, make money, change clothes, decorate the house, raise pets, interact with friends, but this work has more than a main line plot and combat system.
Overall, "Fantasy Life Link" is a game with a lot of freedom and a lot of elements, a rich class and mission system can make this game easily reach hundreds of hours of game time, because of the existence of the Chinese version, there should be many friends like me to contact and work day and night in the liver of this game.
However, it is a pity that due to the functional limitations of 3DS, many game systems and concepts could not be fully implemented at that time, if there is a sequel on ns, it should be a significant improvement compared to the previous game.
This type of game was absolutely fun and first-class at that time, and the Level-5 game was very recognizable in terms of drawing style, but now that there are so many competitors of the same type on the market, I think "Fantasy Life Link" should not have a sequel, I don't know if you have played this game and whether you are looking forward to the emergence of a sequel?
