I absolutely adored the original Fantasy Life on 3DS. Loved Ever Oasis, too. For some reason, I always kinda viewed the two as a pair, even though they had nothing to do with each other.
Anyhow, I read a couple months ago that there’s a new Fantasy Life game coming to Switch later this year, and it really got me looking forward to it. I’m a little worried that there hasn’t really been much in the way of promotion for the title, but what I’ve seen looks promising.
Anyone else got this game on their radar?
Are you planning on buying the sequel? And if so, are you planning on playing through the first game before you play the sequel?
I hope to play the original game before I ever play the sequel. Whether or not I purchase the sequel will depend how I enjoyed the first game. If I can’t get through enough of my 3DS backlog to get to it before the opportunity to buy the new game goes away - I may just purchase it (assuming the reviews are good) and add it to my backlog as well.
Having a family really eats into any video game time I might have had… Someday I’ll get to play these games!
I know the feeling. At some point, you just have to decide what to prioritize in the backlog, and what to let go.
Or be like me, and don’t let go of anything. There are game series where I have to play more than 6-7 games to play the current game, but I am still going to play them from the start.
But I agree with you. If the game is not fun, I won’t waste too much time on it. I have learned to leave the game midway if they aren’t fun anyway. Not every game needs to be finished. Though if I am enjoying a game, I don’t mind playing it as much as I can. Hence, playing more than half a dozen games to get to current one. 😀
Sounds like I’m (at least) already there, I’ve been gaming since I was a kid and can count on one hand the number of things over the years I’ve let go. Including all the cardboard from every game and system I purchased.
I’m also with you on your philosophy regarding finishing games. I play to play, and it doesn’t matter if the game is over or I get 100% completion. And if I come across a game in my library that I don’t enjoy… I still don’t get rid of it, I may come back a year or two later and find that it clicks with me then. 🤷🏻
Yeah, sometimes you just aren’t in the right mood. So, re-visiting the game can make you like it more.
Family tends to do that. But I heard when the little ones enter teenages,you get a lot more free time. Haven’t reached that stage yet myself though, so it’s just anecdotal.
