I absolutely adored the original Fantasy Life on 3DS. Loved Ever Oasis, too. For some reason, I always kinda viewed the two as a pair, even though they had nothing to do with each other.

Anyhow, I read a couple months ago that there’s a new Fantasy Life game coming to Switch later this year, and it really got me looking forward to it. I’m a little worried that there hasn’t really been much in the way of promotion for the title, but what I’ve seen looks promising.

Anyone else got this game on their radar?

    Yes! The first one was a hoot. The online one for the phone was so shit, stupid gacha crap.

      Yeah, I never played it. As far as I know, it was only officially released in Japan, and AFAIK the hacked versions you could play outside of Japan were pretty broken by the lack of proper online functionality. I sit in this weird grey area of being disappointed that we didn’t get it released in the US, but also being aware that we probably dodged a bullet with that, and we might not be getting Fantasy Life i at all if the mobile game damaged the franchise here.

        The mobile version did come out in the US at the end of 2021. It was shut down last February.

          Wow. It can’t have been good at all for it to have flown completely under my radar. I just remember a lot of disappointment when it released in Japan that it was a gacha game that had next to nothing to do with the original gameplay-wise.
