Fantasy Life

It very rare that I play games for their story, sure a good story can help a game to be even better but it's not the main thing I look for.

And normally I'd agree, but RPGs are an exception. To be fair, though, it's not really story - more character- and world-building that I look for. I'm hopeful that FL may still have those.

Good gameplay is important too, of course!

Who's getting this, I might pick it up on Saturday (depending on money) after seeing some great reviews for it and metro gamecentral's anti-nintendo 5/10 but they did give Infamous:SS on PS4 only 6/10, so they could just be a really harsh site.

I'll be getting it as soon as I get paid. I have no idea when I get paid though.

I'll be trying to nip down to Game on Friday after work. If not, weekend. I want this reasonably badly, but most of my enthusiasm is saved for the Friday after...

I just placed my order for this & I'm looking forward having something to play on my 3ds.

I wouldn't say gamecentral were anti-Nintendo at all they can just be really harsh at times, I've enjoyed games they have marked on the low side in the past & I don't think this will be any different.

Oh also a 5/10 typically means average for them.

So they actually use the whole 10 point scale is what your saying unlike some whom only think number 6 through 10 exists.

Aye I'd say they do.

That's my copy of the game been dispatched, cheers shopto.

I'm thinking about getting it on Saturday as it will be a good excuse to go for a walk when at work

I've just finished the prologue, as a green-haired mining boy.  It's fun!  I can already tell that it's going to be one of those games I could play for years if needs be, but for now I'm just going to "mine up", I think. Oh, and the "opening" cut-scene is beautiful, in an "epic Layton" kind of way.

Didn't buy at EGX a Nintendo weren't selling games and GAMEs stand only had like Pokemon X & Y on the 3DS that was about it.

I don't know when I get to go town next to play this, I could order online but the time it gets here Smash will be here.

I'm really enjoying it, started as a Paladin, then I took up Alchemy, then Blacksmithing, then Lumberjacking, then Carpentry, then Weaving... I have a problem

I'd really quite like to do a bit of Smithery, and then graduate onto something more powerful... Unfortunately, I didn't realise that you can't change Lives during a story mission. Ho hum.

I started out as a mercenary and have spent the last couple of days running around doing quests. Might give Alchemy or even fishing a go as soon as I rank up from Apprentice

I couldn't find any way to make string thread and lost my crafting way a bit. I don't want to buy things dammit! (I can probably farm caterpillar things mind)

I'm well behind you two on the Lives front, it seems. But I do have my first bounty!

I was heartbroken this morning when I was trying to exit the Waterfall Cave with a rare mineral and a tough boss and a bunch of bats surrounded them and destroyed them The mineral was worth quite a few stars too

I decided to give mining a shot now which seems rather simple

I'd definitely recommend taking up lumberjacking and mining and a fighting class sooner rather than later. You can keep all the job items equipped at all times so you can chop and mine (and complete their tasks) whilst out in the world murdering.

Yeah I started out as a Mercenary and now yeah starting to learn some skills

Sounds like lumberjacking ought to be next on my menu, then. But I do want to do some smithing.

Smithing can be pretty tough to get anywhere without mining/lumberjacking/tailoring/buying/killing a lot of stuff. Depends how much you're willing to spend to advance.

I've been a miner since I started, old chap. I'm practically an ore baron.

I meant all of the above. Mining alone will let you make ingots and a needle (maybe a frying pan if you're lucky).
