Fantasy Life is Missing Something
Cordova, TN; September 21, in the year of our Lord
2015--Family Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in
covering the family friendly video games is commenting on
something that is missing from the Fantasy Life video game. A
little background first. Family Friendly Gaming has gotten more
frugal financially in recent years. We rent games that we do not
receive reviewable copies from. Then if we are interested in
playing it later we put it down on a list to purchase when it
comes down to a price we are willing to pay. Patience allows us
to get more games for the same amount of money. Other times we
are given a download code, and we prefer a physical copy of a
game. So those games also go on the listing to purchase a
physical copy at a future date. How do we pay for all of these
games? By moving over the money allocated to attend events in
person. The Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) on those events was a
huge drain of money anyways. So it makes more sense to just
purchase the games when they reach a decent price.
I have been playing Fantasy Life off and on for weeks now. There
is so much in Fantasy Life to enjoy. The many quests, the story
line, the diverse areas, and all of the different professions or
jobs. The professions in Fantasy Life are Paladin, Mercenary,
Hunter, Wizard, Blacksmith, Carpenter, Tailor, Alchemist, Cook,
Angler, Woodcutter, and Miner. Do you notice what is missing
from that listing? Something important to life that should be in
there. There is no option to play a Pastor or a Priest. Why is
that? I know some people are going to say: “it is fantasy life,
not real life.” Really? Is that so? So we do not have
mercenaries, hunters, blacksmiths, carpenters, tailors, cooks,
anglers, woodcutters and miners in the real world? Two thirds of
the professions in Fantasy Life are real professions in the real
world. Paladin, wizard, and alchemist are not as well
established in the real world.
A super majority of the jobs in Fantasy Life are found in the
real world. So why are Pastors and Priests discriminated
against? Is this part of the ugly side of the video game
industry? Where Christians are discriminated against by
unethical companies? Is this Nintendo’s doing? Is it Level-5’s
doing? Who is responsible for this negligence? I for one would
love to play the Pastor or Priest profession in Fantasy Life. We
could go and help the poor, feed the hungry, minister to the
elderly in their homes, and more. It would be awesome to train
on giving sermons on Sunday mornings in Fantasy Life. Does the
religious teaching of a false goddess in Fantasy Life have
something to do with why we can not play Pastors or Priests? I
ask a lot of questions I do not have the answers to. All I know
for certain is I would love to be able to play a Pastor or
Priest in Fantasy Life. Here again Nintendo has failed to
provide for a signficant sector of the video game population.
God bless,
