I got the game Yesterday (Pal version - France ) ... and I love it. It's highly addictive and I stopped playing only when I couldn't fight sleep anymore ( 3am )
I started as an Archer (like in most of the games where I can choose a profession), and I'll try to change vocations soon maybe Fisherman or Cook.
This really feels like a mix of DQ IX and Animal Crossing, but I'm quite surprised at the depth of the options and customisation, and the size of the world is impressive with lots of details and NPC's.
We tried coop online play and it works well, we had a party of 3 and it was quite fun to play together. I helped my friends to level up since I had a head-start and was higher level than they were. Will try local co-op once the boyfriend goes back from work.
