You can change jobs with zero risk, so you'll probably have to do that.

you can take any/all the life paths and change between them at will, and are actively encouraged to do so frequently because there's a lot of overlap - blacksmithing might require cloth, which is weaved by the tailor from threads that drop from monsters, which are collected by the hunter, whose bow is crafted by the carpenter, who needs wood collected by the lumberjack.... etc etc. you can just buy materials but you'll go bankrupt pretty quickly if you do that too much. but if you suck at fighting and or you just don't bother leveling your combat lives: at the various points in the story where you'll be faced with a battle, either you'll have npcs with you who will steamroll the enemies alone, or flutter will straight up give you the option to skip the fighting.

bubblelubble posted:1) How does the story play out if you choose a non-combat Life, e.g. chef or fishing? Is it still the same the world is in great peril, go to distant lands getting support, kill bitches on the way? Cos that doesn't quite make sense to me. I did the story nearly entirely as non-combat jobs (the combat jobs were basically the last ones I did) and it wasn't hard at all. It isn't until the post-game that you really need it. The dragons are about as useful as all the other pets in a fight--in other words, they're not. The DLC offers a lot more though, there's really no reason not to buy it.

also you can just take npcs into the field and stand there while they murder everything if you really want

I know there's some kind of friendship system for NPCs with the DLC, but can you just straight up hire an NPC to come with you if you want? Like maybe a mercenary if you're not one? Let's say I'm a lumberjack and I want a tree from Death Forest of Badass Doom. Can I just pay a dude to murder things for me, or do I have to date him first?

npcs will announce that they want to hang out with you, as the story progresses, or as your jobs progress. the game will be all YOU CAN NOW INVITE BUTTLORD INTO YOUR PARTY. one of the first ones you get is a girl who kicks all the early game asses off the bat. you don't need anything to get them to join you once they've been unlocked. friendship essentially just means levels. you tell the npc or pet to join your party, and they will follow you around as long as you like, killing things with you or just watching you fish for an hour, and they will gain levels/friendship over time, or as you do things. the more friendship they have the stronger they are.

It's also worth mentioning that every NPC (except the pets I think) has a specific Life that they "like" and their friendship will increase twice as fast if you're in that Life when you wander around with them. Also if you do things like let them get killed and don't revive them, their friendship will go down too.

So, I've heard in addition to Multiplayer being impossible between DLC version differences, that it includes people you streetpass as well? Is this true?

Fancy Hat! posted:So, I've heard in addition to Multiplayer being impossible between DLC version differences, that it includes people you streetpass as well? Is this true? Can't say for sure, but I think it's a pretty safe bet that's the case. Since the DLC adds new hairstyles and the like, and people you streetpass come to hang out in your town, I'd imagine that people without the DLC wouldn't be able to streetpass people that had it--they wouldn't have the assets to display the streetpassed avatars if they did. ed: remember that in Japan, it wasn't just DLC, but an entirely different game. The "DLC" option was really a full-on conversion kit. So I wouldn't expect the two versions to be able to talk to each other at all.

The NA and EU "DLC" is just a 2-block unlock code, though, so those assets are already on the cart or part of the 6800 block download. There is one thread on GameFAQs about it where one guy claims the Streetpass NPC said you had to have the same version, but another guy says he has 3 3DSes and Streetpasses between the regular and DLC enhanced versions no problem.

Hahaha that's such a gently caress-you thing to do. Not only do they "release" the original Fantasy Life without the Link expansion, they make you download the whole thing and deliberately lock out all the extra content. It's all there, you just can't use it. CrusherEAGLE posted:How difficult is this game? I want some sort of challenge. Last 3DS game I bought was Pokemon X and it was way too easy. This isn't a game you buy for the challenge. Fantasy Life is kind of a free-from "do whatever you want" kind of game. If you try to craft a top-tier item with a crappy tool for example it'll be pretty drat hard but it's not the sort of game that throws tough obstacles at you every moment. If that's the sort of thing you're looking for you'll be better off with another 3DS game, like Monster Hunter.

Last 3DS game I bought was Pokemon X and it was way too easy. Yeah, this is definitely one of those games you play specifically to pass the time. I wasted a good few hours the first time I played this - e.g. I usually go to bed earlyish (around 10pm) but I stayed up until 4am and didn't rly notice the time go by. Btw, you probably should've turned off exp. share on Pokemon X.

With code being what it is, somebody needs a talking to if that change wasn't just a matter of switching class_names[3] = "Magician" to class_names[3] = "Wizard"  Guys, I didn't give even the tiniest shred of a gently caress about this game until I realized it was coming out in three days, and now I am super on board with it. I really want to play Rune Factory without dating sim. What's wrong with me?

I've been excited about this game coming out since I saw it in the E3 line up. I knew about it when it launched in Japan, because it was around the same time that AC:NL was being talked about, but it didn't sound like it was ever going to be localized so I just never bothered to look into it again. It's been a long wait on my end. I've watched a few Let's Plays by YOGScast channels, but I don't want to spoil much more.

deadly_pudding posted:With code being what it is, somebody needs a talking to if that change wasn't just a matter of switching The word "Magician" takes up more screen real estate than the word "Wizard" does. Change the name and all of a sudden you have a whole lot of lines of text that aren't as long character-wise as they were before. If you just flat out changed the name the way you mentioned you'd end up with a whole lot of text with lines ending in the middle of a word and/or extending past the borders of the text box, depending on how the game was programmed. A minor textual change like that can have pretty profound effects on a project. I've done a lot of localization work over the years--not for games, but even with things like publications you often have to do a lot of work to make sure the text fits the way it's supposed to. From everything I hear about games, it's like 1000x worse.

I'm used to working with environments that will just line-wrap and introduce scroll bars when necessary, but I encountered this last time I had to teach a program how to output content to a printer. The whole thing is a lot more manageable if you have a fixed-width grid of characters.

I just started my new Life as a miner last night, and I went exploring in the first cave area. After mining a big crystal I now effectively have a pet bag of sulfur following me around, and I don't see anything in the tutorials telling me how to actually do anything with it. Is there someone specific I need to bring it to, or some action I haven't noticed I can do with it or something?

It doesn't really matter what you start with but I would avoid blacksmith/carpenter because they work best after you start miner/woodcutter and you don't have enough money to buy the materials at that point. Alchemist and cook can also be expensive too. You can only swap your Life when it says 'explore freely' at the bottom, so not during story stuff.

Oh my god, the shadow dragon on Cacto Cove is repeatedly and horrendously kicking my Level 65 bum. It's the final challenge I need to get to Legend level as paladin. It's a bastard of a thing, even with Odin and King Eric on backup. Think I'll come back once I'm over level 70 or so.
