I am anticipating no other game more than Fantasy Life 2. The most charming and easily my favorite game on 3DS was the first game. It wasn’t the most advertised game, but it was the most entertaining game on that system. I’ve probably replayed it more than the Legend of Zelda or Pokemon games which given what I usually cover aside from indie or other RPGs is astonishing. I have tried writing a review on it only to find that harder to do because I can never get how the game across as much as I’d like. So it was disappointing to hear a delay from October 10th happened and has been slated for sometime in 2025. I’m not all that surprised given there hasn’t been much information on it recently despite the nearby launch. There was a character creation trailer a few months ago, but nothing else and the Switch showcase didn’t update fans at all or have a new trailer ready on it.

I’m pretty split on this it does give the developers more time to make the best they can and potentially bring more eyes on this game, but it also makes the wait longer and sometimes delays are needed. Dragon Age Inquisition had a few delays and that is considered one of the best games in that series, but Fantasy Life is a relatively smaller yet more stable game. I’m going to remain optimistic I know that my expectations are high, and even though sometimes delays don’t help. I can blame my own over excitement after so long thinking the series was cancelled after their small mobile game cut servers, but if this revives the series then a small delay can be forgivable.

Edit: I just looked back and did find an old review I wrote on this game not my best, but feel free to take a look.
