FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time

Guys save your Money, Since they only come up with absolutly AI Garbage you cant take it serious anymore ... sorry but this Game really aged like milk.

I can't in good conscience support a company who's this adamant about the usage of Generative AI.

Heartbroken to see Level 5 embrace ai. This disingenuous road is not one I’m willing to go down with you. Lost me as a customer for any future projects.

the studio uses undisclosed AI on their games, this game is within the timespan of their admitted usage. avoid https://automaton-media.com/en/news/20231213-24326/ https://automaton-media.com/en/news/level-5-ceo-says-games-are-now-being-made-80-90-by-ai-making-aesthetic-sense-a-must-for-developers/

I've played this game for over 100 hours so I feel confident in saying, despite that, it is bad. This game could be a fun game, but it is too rife with the sort of horrible game design decisions that show that this developer is the type of developer that barely playtests and doesn't listen to their community. This game features an Animal Crossing-esque settlement where you design a town, houses, build roads, alter the landscape, etc. Roads are placed 1x1 grid squares at a time, You can't just pave over an old road to install a new road if you decide you'd like to change your roads to the new style you just unlocked, you have to delete each individual road one grid square at a time before you can put down a new road. Want to move that house over a few cells? Too bad, you'll need to move it entirely away from the area it's currently at (loading scene) and then move it back (loading scene) because you can't just move it slightly to the left because the game treats it as blocking that area of land, even though it is the thing you are moving. Want to move, change, or demolish a bridge or stairs? Get ready to sit through an annoying loading scene for each and every bridge and each set of stairs. Want to farm vegetables? (you kind of HAVE to farm vegetables at some point). More annoying loading scenes, because you have to sit through a cutscene for every 9x9 plot of land to farm in. Oh, you wanted to plant something else other than carrots? Guess you'll have to delete that plot of land (loading scene) and put down a new plot of land (another loading scene). You're also going to be forced to sit through all of this if you want to truly design your town because to unlock all of the town options you have to be building along the way, so you will HAVE to demolish everything so that you have a clean slate once you've unlocked all of the building features. The game is just rife with poor design choices like this, so so many that every time I play I just end up ranting to myself about why in god's name a developer in this day and age would not have solved XYZ antiquated gaming issue that every other developer has managed to overcome. For 60 bucks? Do better. It makes sense that this is a port from Switch though, considering that Nintendo platformed developers have a history of just not giving a crap about the opinions of their players.

本作で初めてファンタジーライフシリーズを遊びました。 装備かわいい、キャラのビジュアルもかわいい、島を飾り付けるのも楽しいです。 遊んでいてFF14とあつ森とBoTWだなこれ……と思うくらいわかりやすくオマージュしつつ、それぞれの良いところをきちんと取り入れていて、本編+バカデッカーナ大陸を遊ぶ分には満足です！ 他の低評価レビューで触れられている画角に関しては以前のカメラアプデでだいぶ良くなりましたし、ストーリーが薄いのはまあレベルファイブの子供向けならこんなもんかなって感じで許容範囲ですし、独りでもくもくと遊ぶのが好きな人・一緒にワイワイ遊んでくれる存在がいる人に向いています。 島に呼べる住人の最大人数も増えたことですし、これからも楽しく遊ばせてもらいます！ 問題は直近アプデで追加されたグースカ大陸です。 夢の中の世界を制限時間内に駆けまわってボス討伐するわけですが、 まず制限時間が短すぎる。なんで探索時間が20分しかないんですか？仮眠かよ もうちょっと寝かせてください。 駆け足すぎて楽しむどころじゃありません、慌てながらエリアを開放する感覚は完全に作業です。 時間制限より酷いのがその後の報酬です。黄金のカケラというレアアイテムを持っていると特別なショップに入れるのですが、 ・黄金のカケラが手に入るかはランダム ・黄金のカケラがいくつ手に入るかはランダム ・黄金のカケラショップのラインナップはランダム ・黄金のカケラは持ち越せない(欲しいアイテムが出なかったり、出てもカケラが足りなかったらオサラバです) 終わってます。ランダム要素にランダム要素を重ねるな せめてショップラインナップ固定にするか黄金のカケラを持ち越せるようにしてください、それだけでかなりストレスが無くなります！！ ソシャゲならいざ知らず、買い切りゲーで排出を絞りに絞ってユーザーをズルズル引き止める理由がわかりません。 「アレ欲しいしやるか……」じゃなくて「もっと遊びたい！」と思わせるゲームを開発してほしいです。ほんとに……。

As a fan of Fantasy Life on 3ds, this game is worse in almost every aspect when it comes to difficulty and variety. Bosses tend to be reskins with the same 3 abilities. I should not be able to defeat a level 50 boss at level 15. I remember getting my ass kicked on 3ds for not being geared up enough or being roughly the same level as a boss. Monsters to kill for each combat Life are also about 80% the same. What happened to variety? After ~38 hours (and grinding every job to Expert, mind you, I'm probably halfway through), story is still bland and rather boring. And I love dragons, I'm all here for dragons. The dragon is the most interesting part of the game.
