Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time (Switch 2)

Aaaaand I’m done. Yes, I completed it a couple of weeks ago, but I had to go back and do some more, getting my different Lives levelled up and completing some of the side missions and ranking up regions in Ginormosa. I also collected the remaining Strangelings, and delved to deeper depths in the dungeon tree. But, I realised – everything now is just grinding. There’s no purpose to anything. Sure, I can get to higher levels, and get better …

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time (Switch 2): COMPLETED!

Almost exactly 11 years ago, I played and completed (and then played some more) the original Fantasy Life game on the 3DS. I really enjoyed it, and after all this time I was excited to play the sequel. Only, it isn’t really a sequel. There’s nothing, plot wise at least, that links this game to the previous one.

Fantasy Life (3DS)

I may have completed the story in this, but that was at around the 27 hour mark. Which, considering I’ve just scurried past 42 hours, was some time ago.

And so it came to pass that my first completed game in the grand old year of 2015, was Fantasy Life. Do not be of the mind that just because I got it for Christmas, it’s somewhat short. No, somehow in just over a week I’ve crammed more than 27 hours into it. In fact, since my last post about it just 5 days have passed and 25 hours of game have been played. And that’s just on one of the …

Things I’ve been playing recently

Fantasy Life (3DS) It’s like 8 RPGs in one! I chose my first life to be a Paladin, applying the logic that any combat required in the other lives may benefit from my skills as a trained killer. Or something. I’m not very far in, only a couple of hours, but I’m already engrossed in the seemingly endless number of sidequests (which, unlike most RPGs, actually affect your progression in the game in a big way), and the game is …
