Fantasy Life I First Impressions

Fantasy Life i The Girl Who Steals Time finally released and it is okay. There are things I like and things I hate. Moves are now unlocked in a skill tree and points are given out by what you are doing as opposed to learning them when you rank up. One thing I liked was when you rank up in the original characters dialogue would change depending on your current rank it was small, but it was charming. The map is confusing the original had simple short maps that focused on the challenges and a more fixed camera here the maps it takes some getting used to. The original also only had one level up for the game, in this game for some reason it splits your level among the Lives. I hate this change because it means that when facing a difficult challenge I can’t just do something else until I’m an appropriate level this introduces a grind that wasn’t there before. While I do think that some of these systems are carried from the mobile game they had it feels clunky for a full release. I plan to play the game a little more and provide a full review, but even with it’s flaws there are things I like and I hope the good can outweigh the bad, but at least for now I still prefer the original game over this.
