I know, you can buy the base game and not the DLC!
So it's same like voting with your wallet : you like game but not DLC.
Just kidding and you're welcome~

So I'll be playing the game tomorrow whenever it downloads on my 3ds.
For those that have been playing for a while now, any tips you can give? Aka what work/class to start doing first, is the dlc worth it, etc...

I go back and forth on this game! I really love animal crossing and level-5.

The DLC is predicted to cost $7.99 and it basically is packaged in but you'll have to pay to unlock it.
Check my OP where I've linked a hints and tips from reddit, as to whether the DLC's worth it I'll let the others tell you, I'm not far enough that I'm at Origin Island XD

Thanks for the heads up, went ahead and read everything that wasn't spoilered (for now). Guess I'll have to see what they mean by "chosen life" and the other ones, as my understanding was that you could choose any life and level them all up, but maybe it's a situation where if you level a lot of them up you can't max them out easily.
I was hoping it was available on the cart, but since I don't have an NNID I guess I'll be passing.

Yep you can pretty much change your life whenever you want except within the tutorial mission in each life and unfortunately when you are playing online =(
It is on the cart though, the block size for what you have to download is 2 blocks so basically you're unlocking the DLC from a paywall =/ but I think you don't need a NNID to download it just gotta have money but not too sure on that.

You have to admit the vibe is there. "Fantasy" is in the title. We can be whatever we want to be. Partner up with whomever we choose (take that, Tomodachi!).
*wink*
It means you should at least spend some brief time with the gathering jobs early on because you will have those skills to farm resources while exploring with a different class (one of the combat classes, for example). So if you start out as a mage, you can do mage stuff and fight your way through new areas. But if you do woodcutter first and then mage, then you can fight and take care of trees you encounter since your woodcutting ability persists regardless of your current life (same for the other gathering jobs). You can switch between lives whenever.

Has anyone checked if the dlc can be purchased since its on the cart.
The reviews for this game were pretty good in France... I don't know what's wrong with GameSpot and GameInformer
Though if they've only played through the main quest... I can't say they're wrong... since the main quest is 80% of dialogs, 15% of travels and 5% of fights. It really is such a bore.
But the game has so much more to offer than that!

You apparently get an error message when clicking on the DLC.
If the game's not a big console release, the usual goal is to get the reviewing process over with as soon as possible. The rule of thumb for that is once the story is finished and the credits roll, the review can be written and the game shelved. It's doing this game a huge disservice but it is what it is. Edit: nm

Wonder if I'm going to get the same at BB even thought they tf me to come pick it up.

She's just a really skilled Magician is all, which is good to have for a varied fighters group. And also, I thought it might be some sort of issue with the game and feared that she vanished completely.
Agreed. 😩

You can't even check the price?

Got my copy from BBB no mention of street date.
I just tried, they said it comes out tomorrow.
What did you edit out of your post? I'm curious
But still, the reviews in Europe have been better than that so that's weird

Hm yeah, smaller sites were maybe able to dedicate more time to it? Not sure.
My edit was a remark about the irrelevance of game reviews.

Jeuxvideo.com is the biggest gaming related website in France (pretty huge, actually) and they gave it 17/20!
But you're right that it doesn't matter anyway. The game is pretty great in my eyes and that's what counts the most!

My copy hasn't shipped yet. O_O
If I don't get it in the mail tomorrow, I'm definitely buying a second copy. My roommate already said he'd buy the extra one off of me.

If you own the DLC you cannot play multiplayer or Streetpass anyone without it at all.
I'd assume this is stemming predominantly from the extra facial customization features the DLC offers that aren't available otherwise.
Aveyn Knight

Multiplayer is a no-no, but StreetPass is fine.
The DLC is already in the cartridge, so there's no issues about content being available or not.
For StreetPass, you can't receive DLC items, but you can receive divine-quality (a DLC only feature) non-DLC items.
For Multiplayer, I guess Nintendo/Level 5 didn't want non-DLC players to access DLC areas/content without paying extra.

Really? That'd be fantastic if so! I was just echoing what I read in the OP that it was locked off between DLC users/non-users.
Thanks, what about the cross-game communications and notifications when you're both playing solo?
Aveyn Knight
Member
Aha, I see. That part needs to be edited, although I guess we could wait until the North American version comes out to see if it's still the case.
Yeah, I have the DLC and I successfully StreetPassed a bunch of people without DLC, including my sister and my other 3DS : P
EDIT
Are you referring to Link Mode? I haven't used it, but I've heard the notifcations work fine.
So if you don't have the DLC, but your friend does, you will still see messages like "[your friend] reached God Rank".
That's cool. I know I'll probably spend 90% of my time playing solo so at least those features won't rely on who has or hasn't bought the DLC. I'm personally sold on it but I'm not going to try to guilt friends into buying DLC.

Less AC, More Rune Factory. (Crafting, clothes, dungeons, monsters, etc.)
They're both cute games but Fantasy Life is a whole different beast.
Instead of collecting, she will need to make them but they aren't so much items like in AC.
Edit : make her watch this and see if that attract her or you at least.

My American copy of the game arrived today! (Thanks Amazon!)
It also let me buy the DLC right now, and it cost $8.99.

So it's 8.99. I wonder what will be the Canadian price for that. Hopefully they didn't bump it
IGN review : http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/10/23/fantasy-life-review
8/10
I read it and the tester compared to the other 2 I read today, really took the time to play the game. Like for example how she found that other lves are usefull while others were just bashing the meaningless crafting.

Hmm, a biT higher than expect, but not the end of the world.
Also, I give up, I'm going to bed, will download the game tomorrow. (it's not like I'll spend the dawn playing it anyway)
Perfect example of misinformation here.
Reports from people who actually own the game say you can streetpass with everyone, regardless of their DLC status. You simply cannot receive "gifts" that are DLC-only items.
*edit* I see this has already been taken care of.
