[One Foul Note]

Are their any ways of ensuring or at least increasing the chance of you getting perticular fish? I've started work on the fishing licence and it seems to be a lot of just luck whether you catch the perticular fish you need to progress, not the most exciting progression system on this one.

I don't know about other players but its one of the rare recent game that make me play more than 60 hours.
Probably because the game really open up after the main story wich is why I think it's just an introduction to the world.
But it really depend of your taste, this game is like a cute Skyrim.

thank you!

Finished the main story, almost level 46. Clocked at 50 hours and a bit. Talk about your money's worth. Now to unlock the DLC and rank up my lives. Managed to finish the story as a hero paladin by the way. Love the outfit.

=) How many hours more can you see yourself getting more from the rest of the game?

 

[Aveyn Knight]

Woo, beat the Gigante yesterday and ranked up to Mercenary Hero. I was mostly the (terrible) decoy for a Master Magician : P

BTW, I'm a sliver away from Level 50 now. Should I purchase the DLC ASAP or is there any reason to wait/not buy it?

I'm mainly cautious of being unable to play with those without DLC : /

You finished the main story mode? Worth it for the extra island and extra stories that'll get added.

And when you do, any chance you can write about the differences you see, like whether certain characters like the talking sword and dragon slayer appears or they were in the game and finally willing to talk to you after ranking to expert in job x.

The talking sword as in Durandal? I remember finding it in one of the caves, but I wasn't a Blacksmith then. I can go back and give them a good talking to, now that I'm a Master (or do I need to be Hero?).

Where does the Dragon Slayer appear? I haven't tried Paladin yet, but I could look for him/her.

 

[Cerity]

You need to be hero in blacksmithing for the sword to talk to you.

Spoiler

It gives you a challenge and a recipe.

Not sure about the others.

Probably 25 hours or even more. But over a longer period of time. There's still lots I wanna do.

 

[Benzychenz]

I only played this for like an hour before Smash took total domination of my 3DS ;~;

Ah so they do appear thought they were DLC peeps, IIRC the Dragon Slayer is near a cliff below the hair stylist house and below the cherry blossom tree.

22hrs for me lol came back on and Smash has loosen the circle pad ;_;

Raise your luck, it helps to get rare drop

I suggest you to to farm the actual content a little bit because the mobs can hit you pretty hard in the DLC even the ones in the story which kinda surprised me at level 70+.
I'm just advising you to get prepared ^^;;

Ahh, of course. Thanks kindly.

 

[Impotaku]

About 4 hours in so far, just been wandering about killing stuff and harvesting anything that moves. Spotted a couple of bosses i went over & gave them a whack but i did 0 damage so i ran off pretty sharpish afterwards lol. Been crating up the lesser enemies & flogging them to the guild counter, it's pretty compelling so far it's suprising how much time it eats up just exploring.

My character so far

 

[Chaos17]

I never saw that outfit, is this a password outfit ?
I like it

 

[Impotaku]

Yeah they are all part of the same set available using a password.

 

[daydream]

22hrs for me lol came back on and Smash has loosen the circle pad ;_;

Yeah, I feel like my Circlepad is looser after my Smash weekend, lol. Hard to tell, though, if that's actually the case or I'm just imagining it.

 

[Chaos17]

Today, I unlocked the cooking hero set.

 

[Linius]

Thought this was pretty cool. Big article on Fantasy Life. Small boxes for Smash Bros and Forza Horizon 2 on the side

 

[TheMoon]

So I started an Angler today.

I totally didn't realize you had to let go of A when the fish starts to struggle and the arrows pop up. lol ...I sat there baffled that I couldn't catch a single fish after the very first tutorial fish that doesn't put up any fight at all. Then I accidentally slipped off the button and noticed the line relaxed. Been pwning fish ever since. So embarrassing.

Only took on three lives (Alchemist, Angler, Mercenary) but I'm already totally in love with this. Aleady one of my GOTYs.

Fantasy Life > Real Life.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Oh Angler tip for the larger fishes although it may kill your hands after but the best way is to keep tapping the A button to catch the fish instead of holding with the A button, how I caught fishes like volcanic tuna fish with just a pine rod.

 

[Chaos17]

Tonight, I unlocked hero paladin rank. Much pretier than mercenary set, imo.
Only the alchemist job left and I will have all jobs to hero rank.
I can't even imagine what is to take to become legend or god rank -.-'

Edit : alchemist hero rank unlocked.

Edit : phew finally all my classes are hero rank, tailoring was a pain.

I was low in some skills that I had to buy a lunares badge otherwise it wil have taken forever...

 

[Cerity]

Just be careful when going to king eric for the hero sets, I ranked up to hero with both miner and blacksmith but didn't get a set for the blacksmith.

Oh, no... I feel sorry for you...

What if you switched jobs to blacksmith and went back?

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

Put in my pre-order yesterday.

Screw you guys for making this wait hard!

Cool.

I want this series to be a mammoth IP for Level-5 and Nintendo.

 

[Robin64]

Any EU passwords released yet?

 

[Chaos17]

I hope that will encourage Level 5 to continue this serie *_*

Any EU passwords released yet?

No, i didn't see any on Reedit or gamefaq

Put in my pre-order yesterday.

Waiting for this game will be the hardest two weeks of my life, NO EXAGGERATION.

The Dragon Slayer will start talking to you when you

start slaying dragons

You've almost made as much posts in here as the folks who are playing it. I believe you man

 

[Hedge]

I almost killed the ancient dragon, which would have been the last thing needed for me to reach God rank paladin. But at 1-2% life et reset for some reason. Ugh. And it took so long.

I've been waiting for this game for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooong time. Just wait and see when the game actually comes out, I'll be completely out of control!

Oh, I'm aware.

And I'm ready.

 

[Kouriozan]

Reaching God Mercenary rank was as easy as I thought, took less than one hour for Master -> God thanks to those powerful job Master.
But I also need to catch up Hyrule Warrior before the DLC is released.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Haven't played for two whole days!
I am a bad person, definitely playing tonight though
Gotta go to the Cave of Bones, I hope I can at least damage some of the ores in there.

 

[Delstius]

Finally decided to get everything at god rank, the reward is that there's no more life restriction on gear. Want to equip your full heavy armor as magician ? Sure, you can do that. Special skill is still locked to each life though, but you can equip any weapon as long as your skill level is high enough. You also still have the gender restriction on gear so no valk set for dudes.

Nowhere near done with the game now, still so much to do. Combat oriented life special god rank quests are still really hard and boss hit like a truck, so that'll be my next goal after I complete the third trial wing. I love this game.

 

[Cerity]

Heh surprised I managed to streetpass someone today.

What if you switched jobs to blacksmith and went back?

nope

 

[Linius]

Did you get anything from that streetpass?

 

[Impotaku]

Thought some of you might like to see the guidebook, it's a wonderful thing,

The guide is extremely detailed it lists every single bit of info you'd need, the maps are really useful as is the crafting charts and monster info about what items they drop. Sadly the kanji doesn't have furigana above it so i struggle a bit when reading but i'm still able to use it to some extent. Nowdays i only ever buy guides for certain special games, this was one of them. Dotted in between the sections is some lovely artwork too, Japan makes the best guidebooks for their games.

 

[Grampasso]

^ reminds me a lot the US DQIX guide. Really excellent piece of artwork and quite useful too

 

[Cerity]

Did you get anything from that streetpass?

Nothing yet, just information on who they are, their stats, time played e.t.c

I've spotted the person in castele though, talking to them every so often seems to increase their friendship and according to the streetpass guide they'll eventually give you a gift.

 

[Linius]

Oh Streetpass folks appear in game? That's awesome.

Praying that the English language guidebook is a translation of the one above. Would buy.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Looks amazing, thanks a lot for sharing!
Weird how the Japanese Link version had such a poor cover when there was so much nice artwork at their disposal.

 

[Mekere]

I have troubles to determine what is part of the DLC and what isn't. I sometimes see some stuff described and, well, I haven't seen them after 60 hours in the game Half god and god ranks? Seeing friendship level with NPC? Special sets?
