I'm seriously considering importing.
You can follow your own pace. And Level5 games are the most polished around. They just feel right, from the sound effects and down to all the details. This game oozes with charm. If you grow tired of one Life you can switch to another. And unlike DQ9, this game is much bigger and is more interactive. And the combat is something like Zelda (you lock on and strafe around) but with some RPG stuff in it like charging attacks, doing combos and Special attacks.

Need to figure out where to preorder. I need this game on a release day so GameStop is probably my only hope. I don't want a gutted copy though but they normally do not gut when I preorder there.
When preordering from GameStop, they don't gut preordered copies. I used to work at one.

I kinda figured that. GameStop it is then.

Japan never got a Miiverse community for Fantasy Life.
I wonder if it supports screenshot posts...

Didn't have a special site that updated your actions in game?

Yes, but at this point I think it's safe to assume they are not bringing it over, they would have mentioned it by now.
I know you can take screenshots at any time (saved to the SD Card), I'm just wondering if we will be able to post them on Miiverse.

Not that I know of. At least here in the States anyway. Though I heard somewhere in EU you get stickers.... which really isn't that great.
I think it's 30fps. Though I don't think it matters with this type of game anyway.
No love for Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, Tomodachi Life and Disney Magical World?T_T
KONAMI!!!!! Where is our Tongari Boshiiii.
Basically, Animal Crossing Lite. It's very cute but gets surprisingly tricky later down the line.Now I need to look up what Disney Magical World is because it keeps being mentioned. It better not be a good game
60 FPS always matters to me. I don't think certain genres should be immune.
Honestly, I don't know. What little I played from my friend's Japanese copy I didn't notice the fps. Does anybody else know what it is?

The game is really fluid for the most part; it has slow-downs sometimes, though, in particular in big areas and when there are many elements on screen.

There's nothing as obtuse as Dragon Quest IX's post-game grottos here is there?

Oddly enough, the other game I'm mainly playing at the moment is just like Fantasy Life.
You have various jobs, each of which level up independently, and there are jobs for gathering, crafting and fighting. It's of benefit to become a good miner so you can make good armor with the armorsmith which then one of your combat classes can wear, for example. Also, the crafting jobs can make furniture for your house which you can display however you want. Moreover, as well as a big central story, each job has its own story with unique quests and events.
Also it has Fantasy in the name.
Yeah, I do love Final Fantasy XIV.

You get your job exp with stars, to get stars you must do some job related task like "make this stuff" for crafting job.
Then you talk to your Master to see if you ranked up or not.
You can see how much stars your have anytime in the menu along with the challenges to get them, probably showing what you completed too so a quick math will tell your if you'll rank up.
It does look very interesting indeed sadly. I can't afford to spend so much time. Juggling Fantasy Life, Smash and Pokémon will be hard enough.
Anyways, bought a 16GB SD card. Got enough blocks for a couple of games now.
Oh ok how does the xp work when you kill something/mine a rock/catch a fish work? Is there a character level separate to job levels or something?
Amazon.fr is preparing my game, just like last week with FF and Hyrule Warriors, so expecting Day -1.
Yes, there is a separate character level, up to 200.

Yep, it goes up when the game does.
Keep in mind you need to finish the game before you can turn it on.
Be careful if you buy DLC day one, you'll be unable to play with no-DLC people, and you still have to beat the game to unlock the content.
All in all it's not a good idea.
Also now we can't check who defriended your 3ds (swapnote we miss you) I think it's time to get some new friends for this game (and theatrythm).

I've been going by the "Last online", and if it's blank I assume they removed me a while ago.

But some of the DLC is stuff you should have access to at the start of the game. (Customization parts, pet birds.) I need to know if those are locked away too, or if you can get those when you usually would.
Indeed, maybe we should just decide to buy it altogether at the same time so we know that we can go on playing with at least a group of people, like set a date from when will be safe to buy and activate it.
Thanks! Sounds good. I'll be getting it then.

You may have just made the single best point as to why pre-ordering isn't bad lol.
There's no reason for it to be 60fps. If you're lucky it's 60 in 2D but definitely not in 3D.
There's nothing to doubt. They made it very very clear it is never coming over because, well, the developer doesn't exist anymore. Nothing to speculate there, that's been known for, what, a year? And yea it sucks. Import or try to forget about it.

You can't activate the DLC at all until certain conditions are met, one of which is beating the main scenario.

I know that's what the site says, but I'm not sure if that's actually true. In the Japanese version, the parts of the DLC I mentioned are available from the get go. I think the "activation" may just be in reference to the post-game content. (The new location, dragons, etc.) The character customization parts, for example, don't make much sense to unlock after you beat the main game. And the pet birds are supposed to be available in the first few towns.
That's why I want to know how it's actually handled in this version.

Interesting. So aspects of the DLC will be (let's assume) present from the get-go, which is why people with and without the DLC can't play together. It's already put some new content into the base game.
But then Origin Island, the bulk of the DLC, requires activation once the story is finished.
This kinda makes sense.

I'm just assuming that certain portions of the content will be available from the start, I don't know for sure. It's the most logical implementation of the DLC, but Nintendo isn't always logical.
It would be nice to have two people (one buying the DLC at the start, and one who isn't) both compare notes to see what's what. It should be pretty easy to tell right away by comparing the character creation parts, and seeing if they can get a pet bird in the first town. (Once they unlock pets with Bliss Points.) Another aspect is friendship building with party members. You'd think/hope that would also be available from the start.
Another part of Link! that hasn't been mentioned anywhere is the ability to recruit the 12 different job masters as party members. I'm wondering if this part has also been integrated into the base game (along with multiplayer), as it's not mentioned on the DLC page.
But really, is there anyone who's getting this game that's truly not planning on getting the DLC? I feel like that's depriving yourself of quite a large portion of the game...
