Fantasy Life
SCORE: 65
Fantasy Life takes a little bit of Zelda, a little bit of Animal
Crossing, and a little bit of Ultima Online and mixes it altogether on
this Nintendo 3DS cartridge. We can add furniture to our rooms (like
Animal Crossing). We can go out and fight a variety of monsters (like
Zelda). We can pick what jobs we want to do and level them up(like
Ultima Online).
I am willing to pay twenty to maybe twenty-five dollars for Fantasy
Life. There is no way this hand held video game is worth forty dollars.
Nintendo will need a price drop before Fantasy Life becomes worth it for
families. The negatives in Fantasy Life bring its value down. We rented
it so we could purchase better video capture gear.
Fantasy Life shoves goddess worship down the throats of American
families who believe in God. How many hundreds of times have we asked
Nintendo nicely to be inclusive of Christians in their games? Close to a
decade later they continue to shove the goddess worship down our
throats. It is not needed in Fantasy Life, and hurts it overall. They
could have made that character a saint, nun, or something more friendly
to the super majority of Americans.
The biggest selling point in Fantasy Life is the twelve different jobs.
New skills are earned in the jobs when certain milestones are reached.
Working any of the jobs up to Master takes time, dedication, and
completing a lengthy list of quests. There are also butterfly quests in
Fantasy Life that progress the story along.
As quests are completed we grow levels in a variety of different ways. I
loved leveling up the Bliss because it would grant me some new cool
item, or upgrade. Like being able to hold more items in my bag. Or to
have my very own in game pet. Characters also level up from normal
quests, and improve a nice set of stats.
People in the world of Fantasy Life have a variety of wishes. These are
completed by helping them out. Which was the whole point of the false
goddess. She used to fulfill wishes but decided she did not want to be a
welfare state anymore. So she has humans help out one another. Negating
the need for her. So why was she ever mentioned? Her whole character is
pointless.
Fantasy Life looks a little worse than Animal Crossing New Leaf. The
graphics are really small in Fantasy Life. There is also fantasy
violence as we can hack and slash enemies with a variety of powers, and
skills. There are also mild enticement to lust issues.
Fantasy Life tries its hand at a variety of humor. Some of it is funny,
and some falls flat. The music in Fantasy Life is fantastic. I love
listening to this hand held video game. Fantasy Life helps players along
with reminders on what to do, and easy to view quests. This 3DS game
shows players what to do right from the start. The map shows the next
destination until you are ready to leave the nest.
I like Fantasy Life. I wish they had left that false goddess content out
of the game. Nintendo is still not listening about what the super
majority of Americans want. Or they are purposely proselytizing their
religious beliefs down our throats. Fantasy Life has so much going for
it. I love all the different jobs. I love the variety of quests. I even
like that talking butterfly. I am not big on the magic, fortune teller,
and crystal ball.
