Let's just say that, hypothetically, somebody bought the game. Where should him/her put the passwords to the new items?

Thank you.
The game tells you where to use passwords once you are allowed to use the feature, so it's likely you can't use them yet (or you hammer on the A button too fast).
I also had no idea where to enter them, until the game enabled the feature.
I've been exploring with my daughter. It's frustrating that you literally can't do anything but wander around during multiplayer. You can't get or complete quests, talk to life master, or even change lives! We have to constantly quit multplayer to change lives and rank up.
It's also annoying how much text you have to wade through in multiplayer just to perform basic functions. It's so convoluted. Just exchanging items in the box is completely un-intuitive. I can't tell if it's just a bad translation or poor design.
However! I am finding it fun to go exploring with her. I am much higher level, so things are easy for me, but it's fun that she is a woodcutter and carpenter and I am a miner and blacksmith. I make us weapons and armor and she makes furniture and tools. It wouldn't be nearly as fun if I could do everything myself.

My girlfriend's a massive Animal Crossing fan and see likes JRPGs like Terra Battle. Would this game be a good fit for her?
There is essentially no relation to Animal Crossing here at all. That said, my nine-year-old daughter loves the game so far. She likes Animal Crossing also, but even she doesn't see the connection.
It is on the fragile border of esoteric and casual. There are a myriad of arcane menus to navigate and assumed knowledge of common gaming mechanics that can make it a bit opaque to casual gamers, yet the combat is very basic and has ample tutorials, with no permanent death, so casuals can enjoy dicking around in the world without fear.

I've never played Terra online but I think this guy do describe well the game.
My personal recommandation : make her watch the trailer (in OP) and see if it's appeal her first.

This is exactly the game I've wanted to play. It's killing me that it's for a system I just can't afford right now.
My wife and I are playing and she realized that while being a Wizard, she can no longer sit to rejuvenate her SP. Her character does some kind of sweating jump whenever she tries to sit. I'm not sure what's wrong, as it lets me sit as a Mercenary and I barely need SP.
Does anyone know why this happens?

Sounds like she was playing around with the gestures. Go to Options in the Y/Menu screen and select "Assign Gestures." Make sure she has Sit Down assigned to one of the 4 directionals.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
My daughter is playing this.. and she brought it to me... Pam says she needs to move out to buy a new house.. but I went to the attic and there's nothing in it but that butterfly thing?
What am I doing wrong? I got back to Pam.. she says same thing.. but there's nothing up stairs.

You have to remove the wallpaper, flooring, and window treatments too. There's a remove all option in the arrange menu.

I don't trust media reviews, most of if not all are idiots.
One simple question; how's the story?
I know this game has a lot to do plus it's made by Level 5 which is always a plus. I just need this to have a charming or decent enough story for me to pull the trigger.

Thanks, that worked... of course then go and see she's not even close to enough money. Told her to grind out the cash.
Cool game.. when she's done I'm stealing it.

Ended up finishing the story last night. It was actually not bad at all. Time to go all out on skills now. I'm enjoying blacksmithing so I might stick with that for a bit.
The story is fine. They just use far too many words to tell it.
Unless you mean, "when she's done for today", you are going to be waiting a very long time.

Just in case if somebody that I know or I buy the game, I couldn't find information on those anywhere.

You don't have to move out, tell her she can do whatever she wants, like the butterfly quests to advance in the story!

Quick question, do each of the 12 Lives have their own name and design you customize, or do you play as one character who switches between "Lives".
So like can one of my Lives be a guy, and another a girl, for example.

The latter, and if you make a male character, you can't equip female-only gear.
You can still make him look like a girl though, mine looks very gay right now, he is wearing some pink fur armor and long hair, lol. I try a new look everyday.

Huh, so, despite having 12 "Lives", they're still technically the same character?
That's sort of disappointing, I thought you could make 12 individual characters and they worked together or something.

Speaking as someone who loves games with good writing, don't get this game expecting a fantastic story.
The most I can say is that it's not embarrassing.
Sometimes it'll show up in the northeast of the tortuga archipelago area by the bounty person.

Are the stat bonuses from cooked foods permanent or temporary?
Yes, and it's paw-sitively glorious!
thanks. i dont know why i didnt try looking there

Temporary. There is an icon that displays above your HUD that lets you know when the stat changes are in effect. I believe eating food replaces the current stat changes, if there are any.

When I went to buy this on the US Eshop, there was a really neat song playing on the shop, and Fantasy Life was the first icon.
Is that from Fantasy Life? Sounded really Level-5-y, like something from Professor Layton. But I guess that might just still be the Halloween-theme for the Eshop, maybe it was Luigis Mansion 2?

That was the problem, thank you!
Finally reached my first Master rank at 41 hours. It was the Angler life. No surprise, really, since you can catch pretty much any fish with an okay rod.
Anyways, I'm at 43 hours now, and I just started Chapter 4. I really want to buy a house in Al Magiik, so I hope that's unlocked after this chapter.

Yes, you need to do the story DLC to get access to the NPC (in the DLC village) who will remake your character for 150k. I think you can access it after chapter 1.
Or buy the mirror for 12 or 15 Lunares gold coins (after second chapter)
I've to disagree because I think that's part of the magic of this game.
You're not forced to reroll to try a new life, you can do everything if you want.
without being nerfed or punished like in a lot of mmorpg.
Temporary.
Only the candies (Alchemy, god rank?) are perm.
It's chiché so people dislike or like it but it's not endless like the botom pit of hell.
The intro is a bout 1 hour long before you're free.
The story arcs are about between 45 mins and 1 hour each.
The Butterfly quests are about 5 mins each.
The jobs tutorials are abot 20 or 25 mins each.
My advices if you won't like it :
Read at least carefully the tutorials at the beginning, a lot of beginners questions are covered by them.
Don't unlock all the jobs at once or you might feel overwhelmed then want to skip them then feel lost.
Take your time, the game won't run away.
You can sually buy a house after the story arc of the area.
Also not all the time, the game will warn you about a house being available.
I don't know if it's after Al Majiik that will happen or directly at Al Majiik. I can't remember it.

Yeah, you can buy it after that chapter.

Is there more than 1 save file?
Jinx is my favourite master because of all the cat puns she makes.
You get 3. Plus it saves to the SD card which is great for when you want to borrow it to someone. That way no files can be deleted or ruined from others.
There's three, all saved to the SD card apparently.

It's funny. The really jazzed up the North American script, but one of the changes was that the toned down Jinx's puns. She still makes them, but not in literally every sentence like in the PAL version.

So in the PAL version she's basically Mr. Freeze from that terrible Batman movie?

I feel very stupid. I can't find any fish besides the Lordfish on Mt Snowpeak. Where are these dang fish?
It's the same spot. Just keep sleeping in the cabin til they show up.
