Alright, so grab a cup of coffee or whatever keeps you going, ’cause this is gonna be a ride through my stream of consciousness. Let’s dive into what I just learned about, um, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time. It’s been making some serious waves, selling over 1.2 million copies since, like, May. I really should find out what’s so special about it, but, well, distractions.
First up, the game’s physical edition for Nintendo Switch 2. But here’s the kicker—only Japan gets this privilege. Everyone else? You’re stuck with digital. I wonder if this is some kind of exclusive strategy. Or maybe it’s just logistics gone haywire. Who knows? Anyway, Japan’s got it locked down, and fans outside are, predictably, not thrilled. Maybe they’ll open it up someday. One can hope.
Speaking of digital — which is what we’re all left with unless you’re jetting off to Tokyo — you can grab it anywhere. If you already have it on the original Switch, there’s an upgrade option for Switch 2. I mean, they really want you to stick around, huh? Level-5 must be onto something.
Okay, so side note—caught this news scrolling on Twitter (because where else, right?). Level-5 is hyping up a new photo mode. And I gotta say, a photo mode in an RPG? Fascinating stuff. It’s like, can buddies go on invisible too? And there are emotes! I guess everyone’s going photographer mode and aiming for that perfect shot for some contest they’re hosting. Feels very 2023 to me.
Oh, and there’s more. They’re throwing in a free DLC with a roguelike open-world vibe. Set in a place called Ginormosia. I can’t even say that without giggling. Toss in a new story character and boom, fans are amped! It’s almost like they knew content was gonna be their ace card all along.
Anyway, the chaotic jumble of updates gives me hope for the game. Or maybe I’m just a sucker for those exciting tidbits. Either way, worth keeping an eye on, just in case you find yourself needing a little fantasy in life.
