Total sales for slow-life RPG FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time have surpassed 1.2 million units, publisher LEVEL-5 and developer LEVEL-5 Osaka announced.

Additionally, LEVEL-5 announced plans to release a physical edition of the Switch 2 version on August 7 in Japan. It will ship as a "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition," similar to games like Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma. Physical editions are currently available for PlayStation 5 and Switch.

​

FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time launched for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam on May 21 worldwide, followed by Switch 2 on June 5. It sold 500,000 copies within its first two days of release, 800,000 copies within 10 days, and one million copies by June 12.

A "Photo Mode" is scheduled to be implemented via an update later in July. Players will be able to take photo using features such as pose settings, the option to show or hide Buddies and adjustable camera angles to suit each player's preferences. A photo contest is also planned, with details to be announced in the near future.​

I'm surprised how much I'm liking this game because I was NEVER fan of animal crossing games.

The devs also shared a redeem code on their website that grants some crafting mats.

About a week ago, I had just finally took the plunge in buying the physical switch 1 copy, and then they announce this physical switch 2 copy while im waiting for it to arrive lol dammit. Might have to double dip.

Unfortunately you Reddemed this without being subscribed to Nintendo Online…..as much as I like this game I find this decision pretty stupid.

 

[Branded]

Will wait for the Switch 2 version then!

You mean physical version? There is Switch 2 version but only digital….i think there just no physical version in west.

Yeah want ma' physical (and cheaper) version. Pretty much buy all Switch (2) games second hand anyway. Well aside from the Nintendo stuff I want on day one.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

I hope they release a physical version in the UK. I wouldn't mind playing this one.

The Asian version?

I'm waiting for the NA version, I might wait for a long time ?

The game continues to sell well, so there's a good chance they might release a Switch 2 edition physical copy for NA as well.

Btw, the JP SW2 physical edition comes with EN language support in case you decide to import that SKU.

Now, is it a key card or game data on the card...?

This question is going to be irritating if companies don't start 'fessing up early.

 

[Danjin44]

Now, is it a key card or game data on the card...?

Well for now there is no actual physical version in west, it digital only.

I'm guessing Level 5 thought the game wouldn't be that popular in west.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Pre-orders for Switch 2 JP physical are now up at VGP, btw.

I'd get the Asian copy if I'm going to get it... That's where I live.

But if it's a key card then I'd probably just wait for a digital sale.

That...intrigues me. I also never cared for Animal Crossing but am somewhat interested in this one.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Glad for them. Game's super charming and fun.

The Animal Crossing element is like 10% of the game I'd say. If you know AC, imagine that but you can take your villagers on adventures as your party members. Those adventures are where you spend most of your time, and could be either advancing the main quest, exploring a big open-world or doing dungeons. Fighting monsters and gathering resources is the name of the game.

No virtual game card please.

The 'Animal Crossing' stuff is only one small element of the much bigger whole. It's like if you took Animal Crossing and then added a whole ass action RPG on top of it, with the action RPG stuff feeding back in to crafting cool shit for your town / house if you want.

 

[Hookshot]

Lower than I'd like as it's good fun and a franchise that can definitely blow up.

I'll take the Don Horns though next time I log in.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I guess i'll buy another copy...game is fantastic and the new content additions they added last month (or this month...) have been much appreciated!

A while back I bought the physical Japanese Switch 1 version of this from Playasia, it has English text as an option.

 

[StereoVsn]

Hmm… I kind of liked Fantasy Life 1 on 3DS. Might grab the physical for Switch 2 at some point if it's actually on the game cart vs stupid key card.

Found something interesting while farming for legendary don horns. I realised while refreshing the tower levels to force the map to refresh the events while looking for the legendary don spawn that I had my area that it appears in set to rank 7 when it spawned it was level 100 and took quite a while to take down as I'm only around lv80 however it dropped way more loot than normal it dropped 3 don horns and 3 don meat. Usually at lower levels you only get 1 of each. Not sure if my item drop armour has anything to do with it but if anyone's wanting to speed up may grinding getting them to spawn in at higher ranks seems to be worth the hassle of battling high level events.

Edit: tried it at setting the are rank to 6 and repeating when the legendary don spawned it it was lv80 and dropped x2 horns & x2 meat
