Sword and Shield is cool, mainly for the ability to block, but I don't like the sword's weak range and sound effects : P

Haha, I'm the exact opposite.
I find bows fast and fun and I love the heft and power of claymores. The timed combos are a lot of fun!

Can I have some advice? I'm 60 hours in and am getting a little bored. I don't have the DLC though, so I was thinking maybe if I pick it up it will renew my enthusiasm for the game. What do you think?
Oh, and you can't play with friends from other regions, right?

What exactly is boring you, if I may ask? Just trying to understand, as people have different tastes, etc.
The DLC adds a lot more content, but it is just more of the same, for the most part. Which is ace if you liked what you played, but it probably won't change your mind otherwise.
You can play between European and North American copies, just not with Japanese copies.

I guess feel like I'm not really progressing. But, it's not the game's fault. I usually burn out at around 60 hours for games. I'm still stuck at 60 hours into Xenoblade...
I still haven't finished the main story so I would at least like to do that. How is the post game content? I've seen some people post pics of some pretty crazy looking bosses in this thread that I haven't seen in game before.

The postgame is cool, but it's mostly just you ranking up your Lives to Master, Hero and then Legend.
So if you enjoyed that part of the game (IMO the main part), you ought to have a good time.
Just don't expect the game to add anything new after the story. The story is just a means to unlock new areas so you can rank up your Lives.
If you're have any combat Lives, this is also the time you get to fight some tougher bosses. Although most of the really good bosses are in the DLC.
One handed sword is much more fun for me than claymore. Claymore feels like I am throwing around a sack of potatoes and the hit box and timing is odd. Just stand back and charge up, then go in with a swing. Sword and shield is exciting! I do a combo, then block.
My favorite weapon is the bow. I like that you can attract from a safe distance and the speed and lack of MP usage over the rod. Admittedly, I haven't used the other weapons as much, but I will soon, since I plan to get every Life to Master before moving on to Chapter 5.

Cool, thanks
. I might end up picking up the DLC.It sounds like you're playing Claymore MH-style if you're only using charge attacks. At the point I'm at (Demi-Creator Rank) I have two variations of the 5-hit combo and a 3-hit combo for the running attack. Those combos build up my special meter at a crazy speed with my Hero armor set and I can unleash my special for crazy damage pretty often.
Getting the timing on combos and pulling them off without being interrupted is a whole other story, but when I pull off a 5-hit combo on a boss it's very satisfying. I don't know what factors play into it but you also seem to block a bit (though not as much as a shield) with your Claymore.
Longsword does seem like decent fun as well with the faster-paced combat, even at only Adept level skills. I kind of wish that the no-shield Longsword style used dual wielding though.
The ony the number we have is for the first year so before DLC and it was 300k in Japan. Those sales encouraged Level-5 to make the DLC, that's a fact.
Is it really imossible that we will never see a sequel, my answer is NO. We can't say that because we're not Level-5.
Also they said themselve that they want to make a serie of it so let's wait and see, imo.
the only weapons ive used so far are daggers and bows, so daggers.
It'd probably be smart to hedge your bets as a publisher/developers so I would expect Fantasy Life to likely live on, and not just in mobile form. Level 5 isn't one of my favorite developers, but I do think (for both good and bad) they're one of the most RELIABLE ones, so at worst I see them sort of trying to revive True Fantasy Live Online as just Fantasy Life Online, and it'd be a more natural progression of things than most SP to MMO conversions. More likely I'd expect another handheld sequel and perhaps even poking into console expansion (though that might kill the profit margins depending on just how well it sold.)
I think more likely they'd only let something successful die if it's run its course, like Layton seems to have (and I expect SOMETHING on that front eventually anyway.)

So strange. What's with the random tip sheets?New pic from NA twitter :
It did well in Japan, and now in Europe too. We don't know how the sales in North America are yet, but it is currently at the top of the NA eShop charts.
I really don't know why anyone would doubt a sequel is coming. Just because they have Youkai Watch doesn't mean they aren't gonna continue their other IPs.
This is legit the first time I've seen anyone worry about the future of this series. I don't think there is anything to be concerned about.

Isn't this like the third version / expansion of this game? Why is anyone worried. Heck, I half expect a WiiU version or N3DS version with more stuff to be announced soonish.
Not necessarily. I played with friends the other day and two of us were really low doing 0 and 1 damage hits against this monster that would 1 hit ko on us. The other player was doing about 8-12 damage. Took us about 20 minutes to kill it.
Also it depends on your skill. I have 5 friends with the game and I'm the only cook and angler so I stay getting them stuff.

Just started this, at this point mostly unlocking the various lives, I'm wondering though, what's the point of playing as miner/fisher/woodcutter, or is there any at all? Do you gain skill faster when you're playing as those specifically? Crafter and Combat classes are pretty obvious why you'd want to play as them but not sure about gathering classes, seems they work just fine as any other class. Only obvious point is changing to them to turn in stars and level up. Also am I blind or are lettuces not in the first town? I've got a quest from one of the guys growing carrots to go check on another farmer and get some lettuces, but all I've found are another carrot guy and a bunch of other stuff too, just no lettuces. Cooking starting quest wasn't helpful in that regard either.
It's likely that you'll want to use those lives for at least the tougher challenges. For one, they give you stat boosts that benefit that class directly, and the other is that you can use the special X charge move (as in, when the special meter is filled up all the way) only as those lives. Later on you'll have better equipment that is Life specific as well. For the most part though, you're right, you can do the bulk of the gathering classes as any class.
There's a farm at the very beginning of the western grassy plains, your lettuce will be there
On a personal note, just have two more lives to get to creator/god level, blacksmith and carpenter.
I think it's the best one if you want to do a lot of damage in a few swings. Especially in
God mode, you get to do a lot of damage with the right weapons. I made a Divine Quality Berserker's rage with an Attack Damage of 188, SP Recovery Speed +++ and Critical rate ++ and some divine Hero Mercenary armor with around 20 - 25% higher defence than the normal one that I got from Erik, as a Blacksmith.
If you rather have a Life that gives you higher defence at the cost of lower damage, then I recommend Paladin.
The Merc NPC at the Snowpeak base camp told me if I mastered 3 jobs pirates appreciate I could probably get a special sword from the pirates. I have no idea what jobs they would be though. I assume Mercenary is the first... perhaps Smith and Carpenter? I'm kind of at a loss.
Demonic Void is a very nice followup to the Flamberge, especially if you throw an Attack Upgrade Stone+ on it.

Two of them are Fishing and Merc for sure. I didn't figure out the third though.
Damn.
I accidentally destroyed three of my bounties. I left Ancient Ruins with three bounties, one of them being the Ancient Dragon. When you enter the area, you are inside the bounty box hitbox and I saw an enemy in front. Naturally, I shot my bow and destroyed them all. Almost broke my 3DS lol.
Level 52 Hunter using Wyvern Bow and Sniper armour. What's the next best equipment for Hunters?

Over 100 side-quests completed! And yesterday I unlocked Carpenter, I'm ready to complete even more quests! I'm spending so much money buying materials. >.<

You got good taste sir.
Funny how my first 100 Friendship ally was Miguel, but that guy's boss.
Leilah was next in line.

Speak to one of the beavers near Cherry's house for the recipe.

Dogs, not beavers.
I don't see the point in creating a new character? I mean that as an honest question. What are the benefits?
If it's because some of your skills are lacking point, well you can still upgrade them whenever you gain a level (except if you're already at level 200 of course)?

I think the only reason is if you don't have the DLC and screwed up your appearance or something.
Or you want to play as the opposite gender. I mean, those girl clothes are pretty funky.

Too bad boys can't wear girls clothes (and vice versa).
Even Animal Crossing and Tomodachi Life let you wear all types of clothes regardless of your sex.

I think it was on Mount Snowspeak where you can buy those. or maybe not
I'll give it a look. I know there's that mole that hangs out in the well.
It's because I like to roleplay. And I don't want to max every life as one person, it just feels wrong.
Yeah, I'm weird like that. 😪
Nah, I'm good with the selection of cute clothes for now. Sure would be nice if I could put on some of the (girls only) warrior stuff. Freya's costume is pretty cool.
Makes me want to play Animal Crossing again. 😄
Whoa, really? Wait, when do you get that? Maybe I sold it, damn.
I can't do that because last time I played Hamphrey told me he was leaving my town so I stopped playing in order to prevent all my other villagers (especially my three faves) from leaving my town when I'm not playing
Yeah, I'm weird like that
But that's alright because Fantasy Life has been receiving all my attention these last few days. I'm level 70 now!
Just checked. Only the ore. Looks like I gotta start 2 new lives >_<
