(Darthmolth in the Japanese version) If so it's the giant building smack in the middle of the Demonlord district (or whatever they're calling it, the furthest in district of the town) If you're looking for the hidden Forbidden Tome that allows you to reset your stat allocation, that's only open at night, and you have to teleport from the magic circle at the back of the shop. I think there's a level restriction and plot restriction to get in there too--you can't get in there until towards the end of the game--maybe even after finishing the main story.

Edit: Ahahaha, I got so used to the thing saying "explore freely" between quests that when the sun to moon bar expanded I thought it was a bug, making this a useless post. But anyway, a different post-game spoiler: Why can't I make the butterfly get her own drat place? Fast Track fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Oct 4, 2014 |

Man this game is stupid long. Finally unlocked DLC island and DLC stat cap rises around the 70 hours in mark.

Now you say "finally", but the game has only been out for a week and you already put 70 hours in.

In the middle of moving. For the last week, and for a few days, we have nothing on us outside this laptop, our carry on luggage and some flimsy mattresses. Besides doing some last minute rental cleaning and sleeping, I've had poo poo all to do for the past week.

Oh my god, the musical scene you get when you become Master of a Life class is ridiculously precious and a little bit cringeworthy at the same time.  The song for Paladin is delightfully awful.

I have only gotten a few (Carpenter, Paladin, Mercenary and Hunter) but I so far like the Mercenary one the best. It switches between a very sad, lamenting part and a very upbeat part with crazy lyrics, basically 'oh woe is me' and 'just kidding!'.

I started playing this on the weekend and as someone who loves the mindless grind of simulation games like Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing, Fantasy Life is basically crack to me. I found the artwork in the cutscenes to be highly reminiscent of the Professor Layton series which I had not expected (but makes total sense since that was also developed by Level 5).

I have this game now, and it is a very cute little kids' game that I will spend way too much time on. the multiplayer thing sounds like it'd not be much problem so long as u play with friends and are reasonable about it oh yeah, I wanted to know if u can buy and wear cute clothes like acnl or something, this will be the deciding factor on me going with a boy or girl

You can buy and wear cute clothes, and also make your own through the tailor Life. I don't think there's as many customisation options as ACNL but there is a decent variety of clothing available. Not as much furniture variation though.

You can. Armour is gender neutral but quite a few other clothes (and, for some reason, a snorkelling mask) can only be worn by one gender. A boy, for example, cannot dress up like a pretty princess like you could do in Animal Crossing, and a girl character won't be allowed to rock a tuxedo.

Finally got to god rank with my first class, which is paladin. Now I have a quest to fight the ancient napdragon but at level 71 it is basically killing me and my allies in one hit, so that's not going to happen. Does anyone have some advice on what I should do to improve my chances? I figure I'll grind my way to level 90-100 and try again (I already got the 2xXP shoes using lunares coins) but maybe there's something else?

scissorman posted:Finally got to god rank with my first class, which is paladin. At level 71 you're nowhere near ready to fight any of the post-God Life quest bosses, especially the combat class bosses. They're bar none the hardest fights in the game, even harder than the stuff in the final bonus dungeon, which you can't even enter until you're level 100. I'd say level 100 is an absolute bare minimum to start fighting those things, and you'll probably need to be significantly higher than that before it stops becoming tedious. Realistically to have the easiest go of it you'll want to God-rank everything. Once you do that all equipment restrictions are lifted, so you can kit yourself out in whatever you want regardless of your current Life, which makes those fights a lot easier. At the very least you'll probably want to God-rank Smith and/or Carpenter before trying, so that you can make the top-tier equipment that you'll need to survive. A bunch of levels in Alchemist will also help so you can make lots of potions. Honestly if you're at level 71, I'd suggest going back and Godding a few more Lives, maybe tackle the first few bonus dungeons while you're at it for the rare items. Once the bonus dungeons are no big deal you can start looking at the God bosses.

Thanks for this thread; Genpei Turtle's posts about this game elsewhere first put this game on my map despite seeing second-hand copies all over for awhile now. I've gotten a few levels in a few lives without having started much of the main story besides the very first part, and I'm afraid I'm going to do a lot of that before I move on because I'm worried about not being well-rounded. I'm really surprised at how fun this is. I bought the 'old' version at Bookoff and only heard about the Link expansion before I was ready to play it; luckily the upgrade was available as a DLC expansion kit. Extremely charming, not that hard, nothing too obtuse, easy-to-understand quests/resources, it's great.

Now that I'm pretty much in the endgame, I want to ask what kind of equipment you're using. Which is better, the lunares coin stuff or the things you forge yourself? Also, what companions do you take along? My party currently consists of Ophelia as melee tank and Jinx as ranged attacker; before unlocking Jinx I used Yuella as ranged and occasional healer. Finally, what combat style do you prefer? I think I like sword and shield the most since it is a good mix between defense and offense. I initially wanted to use magic but the need to level up so many different skills and sp dependence mean it's just not very good.

The top-class forged stuff made by a God-level smith/tailor is better than the top-class coin stuff, and is more customizable since you can add God Items into the mix. However if you can't make the God-level equipment the best coin stuff is better. I'd save the coins for better stuff than the equipment personally but YMMV. Coins were really rare in the Japanese version so I dunno how it works. As for companions, whoever Ophelia and Jinx are, they're named differently than the Japanese version (so is Yuella, though I can guess who she probably is) so I dunno how they stack up. Once you hit God in a Life that Life's master can join you, and all of them are fantastically good. I'm partial to the Magician, because having a nigh-immortal two-tailed cat nuking the hell out of your enemies never gets old. Outside of the Life Masters, the best companion IMO is Stella, who you unlock by beating the final bonus dungeon. Barring that Eric (the king) and Lucer (the demon lord) are pretty good too. Dragonslayer (the lone dude with a giant sword who hangs out by the grave near the second town) is a decent melee guy. Yuella and Nora (her sister) are both good as well. Combat style I prefer bows, since the post-game bosses are so stupidly deadly up close. Magic is amazing once you beef up all your skills, but it requires a lot of grinding to get to that point. Daggers are surprisingly good at high levels too, plus you can use a shield with them.

scissorman posted:Ophelia is the queen and Jinx is the cat you mentioned. Makes sense with Ophelia, (Felia is her Japanese name) and then Jinx must be Crone. (which is kind of appropriate when you learn exactly what she is) Stella is the goddess that the Origin Island story revolves around. She's a super-magic user; she uses light/dark magic, can cure status ailments and has the best heal of all the companions. Her and Crone/Jinx are my go-to team for most of the post-game.

I wonder if they rewrote those songs from scratch--I don't remember Woodcutter having much of a beat. Doing the master songs was probably one of the toughest parts of the game to localize. I'm partial to the Tailor song, but that's mostly because the singer has a really nice voice, so that's not going to be the same.

But it's a "good" grind, for lack of a better term. Instead of having to do the same thing over and over again to advance, you're having to do lots and lots of short, simple quests instead. Outside of a small handful of bad quests that require you to do the same thing over and over, you're always doing something different so you're less liable to get bored.

They do level up as you do, yeah, but I think if you have had someone in your party for ages to make them level up you have to kick them out of your party. The DLC adds some friendship stuff to the Allies but I don't have it so I don't know.

In Japan there were two versions of Fantasy Life--a "base" version and then an "enhanced" version that came out a year later. For the EU/NA version, rather than give you the enhanced version, you get the base version and can pay via DLC to get the enhanced version. So the DLC changes a whole lot of stuff throughout the entire game.

I know that this isn't the sort of game you play for the plot, but how is the game's writing? Like, is the flavor text and quest dialogue especially interesting or witty? I like watching numbers go up as much as the next guy, but I don't think I'd enjoy this game much if that's all there is to it.
