Games I Won't Beat: Fantasy Life


Fantasy Life
RPG/Life Simulator
1 Player (Local Co-op)
System: 3DS
Developer: Level-5
Year of Release: 2014
Beaten: Not yet

I was tentatively excited for this game, I love Level-5 even when their games don't quite hit home all the time they always look lovely and have a pleasant plot all wrapped up in a lovely blanket of charm and at least decent game play mechanics. Fantasy Life starts out swell. The charm is there in the look and dialog; I've even laughed out loud a couple of times admittedly. The game is upfront with how massive it is in scope with twelve classes to choose from you can do seemingly any number of things. So you start up your quest, and you talk to some NPC's. Then they keep talking, and then they talk some more and quickly follow that up with a bit more chatter which, of course, is supplemented by good old fashion conversation and most NPC's tend to throw in a bit of yapping around this point to spice it up and holy shit no one ever shuts up.
