FUCK IT, WE DRAGON CLAW

FUCK IT, WE DRAGON CLAW

Is there any reason to keep strangelings as furniture and put them around my base?
Or is the only reason to satisfy my tf fetish?

nah you should convert them all back to people
if you max their affection, they can run up to you on the island and give you themselves as furniture anyway

Does Hilda heal?

*sniff*

she has an aoe heal that's incredibly strong yeah

Does anyone know why I'm not gaining Challenge progress towards Hunter's Ultra-Piercing Arrow? It's unlocked and I've been hitting dudes with it, does it ONLY give progress if it applies a status?

The opposite, use the physical version

heal? da

bit silly it doesn't give progress either way but I get it, thanks

Wait, why is this dragon in the starting area lvl 60?
Do the story areas have some kind of level-scaling? I didn't notice that before. I know Ginormosia has area levels. Or do the main story regions undergo a one-time bump in levels in post-game?

you should keep your animal plushie onaholes in your room
e.g. Fang, Cherry...

the buddy i want to gift isn't in the island

welp

for some reason only the capital napdragon gets stronger after your level gets high enough iirc

If you turn them back to normal and max their affection you can put their strangeling version in your house

the napdragon starts at 30 and levels up throughout, yeah
just a nod to the OG, where the Napdragon chilled out in the open right outside Castele and would shit on your face
guess they wanted to give it a little love as a sorta iconic guy

what are the best gifts?

I'm pretty sure the mandatory drawer girl you unlock first through the main story is maxed, but she never gave me her drawer form. What gives?

they have to run up to you first and there's a limit of this happening once per day iirc

I believe only ONE islander can give you a gift at a time and it's on an internal CD or something, if what a few other anons have said is true
it seems right, it's only ever happened once at a time

Oh... Per real life day? That's fucked up. I think it happened like once, but it was something mundane.

They have to have a house

no, it's kinda like Farming
there's some internal cooldown timer that needs to be tripped before someone can give you a gift again
definitely not a 24h irl thing

well there you go lol
makes it even dumber you're limited on houses

is this true?

seeds can actually wither and die if not watered

Ah fuck. I was too spoiled by that one day it rained all day. What's the time between the water getting consumed and the plant dying?

But there's a limit of 6 houses max, and there's like 50 followers. Do I need to cycle through them after I max each one of them?

not true, Odin gave me his Strangeling sword form and he definitely does NOT have a house

thank you sylvia for the debuff, also apparently going back and forth from past/future to ginormosia multiple time help spawn the legendary challenge

Is there a way to multiplayer with pirated copies?

online fix

mustard gas

it only happens if the sprouts are out and you don't water them
if they're in seed form you can spend 20 irl hours adventuring and they'll sprout when you get back, never seen them turn from seeds to dead sprouts
but if you forget to water them in sprout stage there's probably like a 30m timer before they shit the bed, kinda like how long it takes them to become the veggies after is my guess

needing the debuff

needing a partner

WEAK MINER ARMS

it's over...i didn't beat it...

no this is not true
nommie gave me her snack cake yesterday and she had no house up

they don't, but giving them a house makes it more likely for them to be walking around your island and therefore give it to you.

Is there nothing ingame that gives you a hint where those strangelings are that are just lying around in ginormosia?
I don't wanna look it up right away but fuck autistically checking every nook and crannny.
I wish those googly eye towers would tell you if there is one left in the region but all they talk about is that there are no more shiny poop shrines.

also apparently going back and forth from past/future to ginormosia multiple time help spawn the legendary challenge

this is a retarded and slow way of doing things

go to a tower
change the area rank 1 lower
look at the map
no legend event? change the area rank 1 higher
look at the map
repeat til you see a legend spawn

every single time you change area rank it randomizes all the area challenges on the map and can pretty often instantly spawn legend events anywhere on the map

Is there nothing ingame that gives you a hint where those strangelings are that are just lying around in ginormosia?

unfortunately there is not

is that where they are? fuck I'm missing 6 to get to 49.

didn't know that work too, guess it's time to abuse it

Anyone else think it'd be nice if your buddies actually did something on your island while away, like gathered resources for you?

Just imagine, you could start buying respawnable ore and trees on a 5 min timer, after say, mining and chopping 50 of them or whatever.
Once placed, miner and woodcutter buddies could start harvesting them for you.
Farmer buddies could water your crops and harvest non boss veggies.
Combat buddies could go on Depths raids and bring back monster drops.
Crafters could automatically make a few materials of your choice.

Cuz right now buddies don't really do...anything "useful" at the base and I feel like that's a missed opportunity.

I walked right by the planter strangeling at the campfire, didn't notice until the camera changed so I could see the eyes

The island base needs the Rimworld treatment

just imagine, you could start buying respawnable ore and trees

yeah how about we start here
you won't believe how pissed I was when I bought two of these nodes and then realized they don't respawn.

Do In seriously have to luck out in dungeon troves to get magic ore? Can it not just spawn in ginormosia somewhere?

it does, in the Miner Challenge one in I think in South Greatgut, where you got Odin's strangeling form
second stage there's a Great Magic Ore node, you can harvest and reset that phase to farm it infinitely

NE, QUIZZO?

What rank you do need the area to be?

ONE OF US

penny-arcade.com/news/post/2025/05/26/fantasy-life-i-tips

they are my friend, not some slave

bought nodes don't respawn

Marco should be killed

the best way is unironically buying the 8k nodes from marco and mining those

but they don't respawn

it's still very fast and convenient

but my dosh

your stickers bro?

ui seems too big and obtrusive and I read you can't get rid of the control prompts so I'm skipping

doesn't matter, trials don't change their contents based on level afaik(though might be worth to set it as high as it can go if the treasure rating affects drop amounts for it)
so just waltz in there and do your thing

ate without a table

they throw a hissy fit

Please remember to install the camera mod, It significantly improves the game.

credits have some matching life icons to the staff

KINO

In Ni no Kuni 2, also by Level5, recruitable allies gathered resources when employed at some facility at your kinfdom.

so I guess it's just random. does doing quests for them even matter?

all that matters is their affection level

thanks

you can only relocate one farm at a time

why the fuck is almost everything about farming so obtuse?

You get more flowers if you do enough quests each day and they get a massive chunk of affinity. If you dont do any you only get two gold flowers per day.

No, I will respect the devs vision of the game

ah, good to know. thanks

Anyone else /merc/?

Buddy everything on the island is obtuse. What is the significance of locking terraforming behind story progression? Why can you only have 8 bridges? Why does every single build/remove action at Cooke come with a 30 second loading screen?

The island isn't even half baked it's fucking tenth baked.

It's one of the two new classes. They weren't thinking thoroughly about balancing them right (see: Farmer's Hero-exclusive skill).
Especially with how you can break the game's economy with artist and the sheep sticker exploit.

it's always faster to destroy and rebuild than it is to relocate

When I try selecting the "ask for help" tab - then immediately canceling it - the AI teammates tend to rush to revive me.

bro you mdef?

does anyone know if there are different colored shrubs? also why can i only auto craft 1 at a time

Made a shield with 50% chance of frostbite. That shit good?

why is your game so dim?

no because i'm pretty sure those skills don't actually give you a 50% chance of doing frostbite but rather turn a 10% chance into a 15% chance and paladin has no natural way of dealing frostbite right so it's useless?

you can use trip appliques when remaking to stick 10% item drop twice on a shield, THAT is useful

I'm merc'in it up, but I'm thinking of doing some levels of mage for enemies like ghost who resist physical

Recording software can't capture HDR properly

also why can i only auto craft 1 at a time

Anything that isn't a material (aka sticker, lumber, paint) or usable item in the item wheel is locked to that.

Why can you only have 8 bridges?

because Animal crossing had this same limit with a map that's like 3 times as big.
half of it is them just copying new horizons but really the island is so small where are you going to put even 5 extra infrastructure pieces?

For some reason select furniture has a 10 quantity crafting limit

Need Godfish Moss to finish Tailoring from Master to Hero

Can never get the Godfish to spawn in my Treasure Grove generations

Merchant is never selling Godfish Moss

I'm never gonna Hero rank Tailor at this rate.

Master rank gave me a shadow staff which flat out gimps my damage output against shadow enemies. I lucked out with getting a light staff from treasure trove and it's been on my MC ever since getting it.

Odd. My mistake then since I never craft furniture outside of the ranking requirements or quests.

item drop rate doesn't work on buddies but exp gain does
don't forget to give them all 20% monocles for a 60% boost to yourself as well!

How is the MP in this game? I read it was dogshit but dunno if I trust the source. Wife likes animal crossing but idk if I wanna go in on two copies of this just to get dogshit MP (like AC had)

first master rank in my game was magician

all of the requirements were just monster-slaying

let my buddies do the dirty work by beating the shit out of them while I was the healslut

kill the snake

accidentally hit the toad

buddy kill the toad

NOOOOOOOOO
yes, i clear the challenge

How does the 3ds game compare? Wanna play it on my hacked 3ds to get an idea for what the gameplay overall is like

the MP is on a timer, you can't progress the story together and the only tangible benefit is doing rng chalice dungeons together for more fruit

Also, anyone know if it works ok on steamdeck?

it's basically the same game but far slower due to lack of qol (no life autoswitching, no master teleport ect)

60 fps on high

Sorry the last benefit doesn't mean much to me. Not a good MP title then I take it? Thanks

playin on deck for 50 hours rn

no it sucks for MP

Ok that's good. It seems like the story is different so it's still worth a quick play, or however quick you can make grindan games like this.

multiplayer is on a timer, but it's fun
your main methods of multiplayer are the following

giant open world where you're limited to 1 hour explorations (you go back to base automatically after an hour). this is basically a time attack mode where you do quests to fill a bar to force a legendary quest to spawn, repeat as many times as you can in an hour

RNG dungeons that give you more loot if you're with other people

instanced story areas if you want to farm them for whatever reason

yeah it's a different story cuz it's a different game
fli isn't a direct a sequel

thanks
thanks. I'll just pick up one copy then

why does this give off happy wars?

Playing the original feels funky now compared to this, not bad but in my memories the original looked and felt like this one does now

if anything i'd say FLi takes places at least 1000 years after the 3DS game (or at least the present day segments do)

I dunno why that other anon said it sucks. I've played more than half my playtime in multiplayer. You definitely can't do as much but there is still a lot of endgame grinding you all benefit from. You share area points, drops, dungeon cuttings, etc. While a good chunk of the game is still singleplayer shit both of the endgame infinity grinds are multiplayer focused. Also you can just mod out the timer, it doesn't do anything. Even without removing it you can just immediately jump back to ginormosia and it doesn't even reset the legendary meter. I have no idea why the timer exists honestly.

it's basically only for powerleveling and item sharing
if someone does a gathering node and you don't you help them you don't get any drops, so resources can be actively stolen.... as long as you are careful of this you can help people get hard drops.
The timer is actually a non-issue most areas don't have 30 minutes worth of stuff to do anyways, it doesn't even end MP you can literally just go right back out in again which respawns all the resources anyways.

the real benefit is there's XP sharing for like basically everything, it makes it really easy to powerlevel and most rooms have some dude idling in their crafting life to get levels for it.

so resources can be actively stolen

??? No they absolutely cannot. If anyone picks up loot you all get something. Even if you're 6 zones away.

Holy Moly turn of post processing.

Healing Forest affects everyone in Ginormosia exploration

I was surprised when I saw that happen.

Does Mage ever get any big dick damage attacks or is it cucked to be the support slut of the game?

Sometime in the thousand year gap Lives stopped existing as a normal thing everyone in Reveria had

I wonder what happened. They still work obviously since our rescued strangelings and MC can use the Life powers in the present.

I thought that was the case but I did testing with my wife and she didn't get napdragon drops when I killed it. I guess I'll test it again.

I'd argue the 3ds game is right between the past and present of the sequel.

You can also use items on people from infinite distance.

looks lame as hell shill

the charged heavy does good damage

and the special attack upgrade is nice

unless this is a placebo 5* [x]+ items consistently give a full heart

It has that small black hole charge skill (upgraded from the shooting star attack), but I mainly use it for support and mass healing.

I don’t think so. Yuelia was sort of less of an idiot than she was at the start of the original game.

You're an aoe class anon, round up enemies and delete them with charged regular attacks.

based and pig like

game artstyle repels undesirables

Thank you Level 5

wouldn't that support what he's saying? with Yuelia's character development happening between the two eras she would be smarter in the new game where she only shows up in the present?

If only you could romance the chibis

That's the free dlc

Charged heavy slaps
But mage is the only class where i feel getting those -charge nodes is compulsory
It feels way too fucking good with them and way too fucking anemic without them.

I'm going to be a homewrecker and make a harem with Duglas, Bearhart, and Ahab.

love the game bros, just spent 2 hours of my wage time rearranging and decorating my town. Have a meeting up next which I'll use to smash some rocks and explore the depths which is something I haven't done except when the main quest took me there. Amazing game, 60 hours in and I can see myself putting in another 60.

Yeah but was the Princess in the first game an experienced Paladin? I don’t think she was yet.

only hits one enemy

does stupidly huge knockback often triggering enemy's aggro loss invincible state

nah that move is fucking trash.

I don't think she was yet

and now this is after that? I'm not sure what you're trying to say anon.

The strangelings are all from the 1000 yr ago past period, not the present.

WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE EXP UP APPLIQUES

only hits one enemy

It actually splashes on contact.

does stupidly huge knockback often triggering enemy's aggro loss invincible state

Bro your paralyzing paladin/archer buddy?

My level 80 mage with the best weapon before true time does less than 1/3 the damage as every other level 80 job. This is excluding the fact that mages main damage attack is the only one that doesn't pierce so if you want to do aoe you are spamming an attack that doess less than half that unless you are fighting two enemies on top of eachother or a single target.

Just disable TAA because it eats massive amounts of battery

I'm only getting platinum from that one

Is there a dark stick recipe or stick of time? Or is it just Excalibranch+Corn?

I'm suddenly interested, assuming you have proof.

I knew this would happen. I just wanted to spruce up my island a little bit and now I've been at it since yesterday and can't stop.

Is there a list of merchants and their inventory somewhere? I'm sick of seeing "merchant ginormsia" then having to jump through 5 to find the right one

exp monocles on crafting buddies DOES increase the amount of exp you get when crafting

Corn

They literally move around. It's impossible to be sure which is which until you actually see them.

fishing should've kept the "struggle" phase from the original FL
just have it reduce HP(% based) so you're still progressing instead of having it be no progress at all

are there even different ones with set inventories?
I just assumed when don spawns it's just different every time.

what sticker increase exp+ chances when crafting?

none :D
it's fucking ass!
please wait warmly for the free dlc that brings new recipes and hopefully they have a exp applique recipe in there!!!

well yeah, just like how they also get the specialized tool bonuses as well(which also shows you how much it's worth, it's like 60ish or something Crafting for whatever it's applied to)
helps early on if you get multiple +tool crafts with getting Top Notables, less effective as you go on(but can still be nearly 200 extra Crafting if you all have it on your tools)

Ah, I see. Mass crafting ingots/lumber/mats is an easy way for crafting classes to gain levels instead of just crafting one piece of furniture at a time,

well yeah, just like how they also get the specialized tool bonuses

do these stack
i heard that those "specialized" bonuses basically remove 1 cycle needed to get perfect
but if i give someone with the "metal tools speciality" a "metal tools speciality" tool as well, does that mean they remove TWO cycles, or still just one?

It has nothing to do with cycles. Helps with production of X item type is just a flat +20 crafting skill when making that item type.

okay so where does the game say the events in Mysteria are happening before what happens in Castele in the first game, then? I said "after that" not 1000 years later.

Sex. With Fang

I'd say the strangelings are subject to some kind of general timefuckery

ok but my question still stands - do they stack?

I think it's a +20 bonus crafting to that specific recipe, +60 if you have two of them on a tool with a buddy who specializes in said recipe.

Each settlement akso has their own merchant

Switch2 version upgrade for only $2.5

This is pretty based

I really really want to have sex with your character.

lmao
lol
Making one actual 4/5 star recipe is usually 200-400k xp. Even magic bars made 99 at a time is less than that.

i see, thanks so they do stack then
aaaaaa fuck man i have so much remaking to do...

Haniwa
Bulls
Bugs
Tortoises
Panthers
Apes
Am I missing any

you wouldn't fug a dork

Yeah, if you have multiple +helps with making wooden life tools they all stack when making wooden life tools. Their number will visibly change in the crafting screen to reflect this.

I would date her and make her blush with awkward compliments and then make sweet love to her.

I retested this and we're both right.
Resource drops are shared.
What's NOT shared is gear drop chests, not sure what the conditions are for those.
Fortunately that shit is just fodder you sell anyways but it's still a huge income source in the long run.

Fortunately that shit is just fodder you sell anyways

tfw the best gear i've got is from 900+ troves that are notable/supreme shit that i've remade into TOP quality and they're slightly better than dark recipes i can't even craft

While your party members cheer you on and lower their defense

I genuinely do not understand why people are shidding and pissing themselves over getting max rolled crafting setups. Just make 3 different 4 star tools for you+buds and then feed you + buds crafting food and you will obliterate every single crafting requirement in the game. You only need about 1850 or so total skill to reliably perfect craft even the absolute hardest recipes.

+20

more than that
you can GET +20 Crafting, it'd be useless if that were the case
I just checked with my Ian, it might be % based
he gives me 340 crafting on a Crystal Hammer
I put a +Metal Tool Crafting hamer on him
it jumps to 403, so +63
No, Ian doesn't have Metal Tool Crafting and I still get the +63 - he specializes in Armor
I checked with Blacksmith Object +
same increase
doesn't require "same specialization"

Would item drop on them affect you too I wonder.

item drop does NOTHING on buddies, we've been over this

Is there any info on the physical release? I really want a copy for collection

It's simple. People stopped treating Lifes as their 'life passion' and instead treated them like a job.

Speaking of which, you all did remember to level your actual Job as well, right? Once you've had your fun living out different Lifes in the Past, when you come back home for real you still have a Job to do.

damn I can see this
thing is there's no way to know who is getting a gear drop or not if you aren't in the same room.

Hey I just asked.
Just more reason to stick to my paladin with their 110% drop rate.

Buy it from play asia

So it's a 1% crafting buff?

What do you mean by gear chests? Like the bronze/silver/gold/gem chest that appear from creature/resource drops? Those are not exclusive to gear and you do not get identical drops from them, but you should both get something.

okay, you're definitely right. I just inspected her inventory and there were two items she definitely couldn't have gotten otherwise(one for each of the two test cases)

The game could do a lot to help with conveying things like loot drops. UI could use an almost total rework.

EXP gain from crafting is heavily shifted towards difficulty of the craft (which tends to be 4*/5* recipes). Because of that, Cook actually has a few real easy to source ingredients 'Furniture' recipes they can do for super easy exp, because they can have like 900 crafting difficulty

I literally did a comparison where I finished the same item twice on the same cycle. The one that had +60 crafting ended up GREAT, the one that had lower crafting but tool speciality ended up with TOP.
If it affected crafting, you'd see a difference between the % progression

Asking Rem if she wants to go on an adventure and then whipping out my dick

Yeah but there's x99 and x10 recipes that give like 15-18m XP

remaking gives so much xp

the x10 recipes are furniture. I don't know of any resources crafts that you can bulk craft that give anything close to 1m, let alone 15m.

So the bonus is invisible and isn't indicated by an additional crafting bonus on the recipe menu?

I was testing this earlier to verify if those passives stacked (they do). You can also check the equip status list on your buddies, those lines show up as a 20% bonus to crafting, they will also get the smiley face in the craft screen if they have an applicable bonus.

For me it got pretty overkill during testing, I could 3-tap a 1k recipe which might be efficient to level to 99 but it wasn't what I was interested in.

thought so, but it's good to have secondary verification

WARNING: Not for the faint of heart

So it's a 20% bonus per attribute, meaning you can stack 100% on buddies (3+2) and then another 40% on yourself?

This game rekindled my love for games

now SLAM her face into it

That sounds about right, during my testing I had 5 of those lines total spread around, every time I added a new one the progress % went higher per cycle.

It's neat to know but nothing in the game requires this level of stats anyways.

mistakes the salt for sugar

Cute, I hope we can save them in future updates

Hasn't she suffered enough anon :(

Cherry mentions she has two dogs

girl you blind

I haven't crafting my true equipment yet but my blacksmithing skill is only 1506 and it has a 1350 recipe difficulty. Even the legendary dark recipes are 1330. If I stacked a few I could get make these perfect without significant upgrades to my current hammers which I thought I would need.

Lmao I won

I think I crafted the 1280 needle with around those stats and only using Magmia with no fancy equipment, think it was 7 cycles?

You could also just eat crafting food and worst case you can remake the gear if it's not perfect. Just remaking stuff will net you a lot XP which is more stats as well.

man, they tried really hard making most things not really profitable or even a loss to bulk craft with only store bought material only to fuck up at stickers, huh?

This area locked behind a dark seal has luminous magic ore and darkwood tree. I think it's a 50 dark fire cost iirc.

an Expedition 33 thread died for this

Good

oh fug

what the fuck man

This game gives me choice paralysis, there's so much shit to do that I don't know what to do

If I'm only into singleplayer kino where you BEAT a game and watch the credits and turn the game off and move on, and am staunchly against "play until you get bored" style games, will I still enjoy this?

So the shitposters who routinely show up at the same hour daily have CSAM saved on their computer?

there's one luminous magic ore in cave of trials for 30

Crazy how I can get a warning for off-topic posting when I tell shitposters to fuck off but the cp spammer can ban evade for years.

This happens to any game that gets popular because thats what schizos are drawn to

is this actually fun? everything I'm seeing in the thread just seems to suggest single player offline MMO grind...except it's alone.

What is this game like and is it even fun

Recommended level to enter first treasure stove? Does enemy level increase as you go deeper? I felt underleveled and gave up.

yes, the grinding is fun

first one has like level 20 enemies, then they start going up 10 levels per 100 years

It's one guy who uploads his cp to threads he doesn't like because some jannies are total retards and nuke theeads instead of just banning him. He did this in Star Rail generals for years because he got autistically mad that Genshin was losing the spotlight.

Damien/Daemon is still best boy

Damien was a better name, I get it's supposed to be super on the nose but the edgy boy name was just right

grinding is fun when you can show off to other NEET online, offline grinds are boring

Absolutely not, the game is the exact opposite of that.

wiki still not complete

I refuse to play this until the game is solved

you can do that by posting on Anon Babble

treasure stove

heh

subhuman behavior. that before deformed dragon sleeping.

that vain old bitch in Idylla village who just constantly asks for elder logs to make her fence with

bitch you do not need an Elder Skytree Fence to show off in fucking podunkville

no romance no buy
simple as

asked?

i'm pretty sure present time is relatively recent after the first fantasy life, you literally see Edward walking around Castele when he buys Trip
i'm not done with the story yet (just finished Colosseum) so i don't know what else is going to get revealed about the evil green elf man but i'm almost certain him and his crow time travel as well and you can get Strangelings in Ginormosia which doesn't seem to be in the past and is in real time like the present
i miss Castele so i would want the DLC to take place there

Level 5 did everything right

This game looks like its for children but i grown up since i played fantasy life on the 3ds. Why is this not made for people like me

i hate these little fucking rolly polly fuckers so much its unreal its monster hunter all over again

daijoubu, ESL-kun

kek mayne kek mayne

You're probably joking but it's unreal how right you are. I have three friends I tried to get into the game and despite having the mechanics that they'd all like, they instantly got filtered by dumb shit.

friend 1 doesn't want to play until it has Stardew Valley levels of wiki autism for his retarded minmax efficiency brain

friend 2 is a graphicsfag that feels insecure playing a game with "baby" aesthetic

friend 3 despite being a turbo weab who loves adventure rpgs had a melty over Rem not being in love with the protag

I hate normies.

I know it's tempting to run up and mash attack, but focus on dodging first and then hit them as they recover from their roll

i dont know why but this pisses me off so much. The lame usage of japanese, just cause i use a little bit of ebonics and not perfect proper grammatically correct english i was the best fucking reader in school, not that it matters. I got certificates

I’m pretty sure Anne got her eyepatch from Cervantes so I don’t think that’s the case

gomen, ESL-sama

I love those lil' niggas
they have their own town in Ginomorsia and their lil' animations where they hop and spin their ball is really cute
it is annoying fighting them around ledges though since they can roll right off and go "?" lmao

Damare, ESL-kun

moumentai, ESL-chan

What is this game like and is it even fun

its kind of like Rune Factory series, except without the charming and memorable NPCs, and a larger focus on stat grinding to beat the dungeon progression system, and of course the hideous chibi bobblehead graphics
the combat is only just very slightly more complex, but at least you have a party sort of
I'm not sure if its actually fun but I played it for 10 hours in 1 sitting last night, so it is at least addictive

fuck off nigger

no I fact checked it after he said that.
Duglas is a FL1 character who lives in Castele but people in the "past" know who he is. Therefore FL1 Castele has to be from the past world and it's likely that Edward and Co. come from Castele's present.

Castelle still being a place 1k years in the future isn’t too out there. We see Castelle soldiers at the coliseum island in the past. I haven’t finished the game yet, but I’m pretty sure Ginormosia is further further past.

"Bro, this is a game for kids."

Motherfucker there are more kids playing your COD slop than this game. Same shitheads who look at you funny if you liked Windwaker or the chibi Zeldas.

How does this game compare to animal fagging, is it better?

I got certificates

SUGOI SUGOI ESL-senpai

the main story is like 20% of the 'content' in the game, and is totally completely trivial and also completely pointless nonsense

I bet Colin loves taking it up the ass

it's an alternate dimension

yes

AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

sexo

I get magic ore at area rank 3 I believe it is.

It's AC with actual gameplay and progression. You even get to own a fully customizable island with NPCs you can actually choose.

Which region again?

You wouldn't a wolfie anon

one game is an open ended slow life sim
one game is a checklist task completion grinding simulator that has a shallow version of the other game as a lite subsystem
it's really not like animal crossing at all it just incorporates some elements here and there.

She's not doing it to show off, she's doing it because her potatoes require such luxury

the king of faggots has arrived

It’s the bottom right area, forget the name spelling but Skeri? Shrine. It’s the one close to the border with the desert where Odin was.

If shrines do change with area level, curious what other gathering shrines have at higher ranks.

theres only one dedicated farming spot in ginormosia

Was farming really that much of an afterthought?

do remember they were in a scramble after Inafune shit all over the project and got fired
there's a lot of things that seem like they were meant to have a little extra attached to them

Oh I would, believe me. Better prepare your Lifer...

It's intentional. Artist is the money maker profession in this game, that's its main purpose.

the fucking delicious succulent steaks won't drop

HAND IT OVER

I thought this was a kids game, but apparently its a fully fledged no-life NEET grinding game.

glad you could make it man

if you want Wild Beast Meat you should try BENDING over

Kids have a lot of free time, bro. It may not be healthy but I spent plenty of time pointlessly grinding in my youth.

actually you'll find it's for 12 Life NEETs not no-life NEETs you fucking imp

But enough about extraction shooters!

This is... ironically like the 3rd time I've seen a Japanese studio send out a man to roast alive and actually public acknowledge their failings.
And all 3 times it's been Inafune.

final star goes from 30% cost reduction to 60% for reverting strangelings

aaaaaaaaaaaaa, i shouldn't have been this lazy and gotten that way sooner!

try a few rounds of improv cooking, worked on my machine.

How do I decorate my island with vegetation that won’t get chopped?

just don't chop it?

DID SOMEONE SAY NO LIFE!!???!!!!

I didn't even know he had been at level5 until last week and it very suddenly made the development hell of this game make so much sense.

But your buddies will go after it won’t they?

I can't resist the urge

buy tree

chop down tree

"where did my tree go?"

You chopped it down, stop chopping it down

Is the hunter's arrow rain supposed to have full invincibility? This shit is busted

Back when Mighty No 9 was flopping wholesale one of the rumors that ended up being true was that Inafune had friends at level 5 that would bail him and a few members of Comcept out, eventually dissolving the studio after awhile and letting him ride out the high profile failure with general stability

I guess they gave him one (1) game to work on and he couldn't even accomplish that much.

how do you guys justify decorating your home base? its so expensive and also tedious to move everything, but i dont want my friends to live in a commie block forever.

Yeah

Just had a near full party wipe in my first Horde.
Everyone was getting paralyzed and raped by shadow ghosts, even the dash spamming hunterfag got caught & paraspammed.
Spooky.

Are the stars tied to the board just outside the guild or is it something else? It feels kind of weird and redundant if it's just max stars = maxed out board. But at the same time I've just been clearing the board objectives and it's been slowly getting my stars up.

should I destroy the heart?

Its fun

Money grows on sticker trees in this game.

It's not tied to the board at all. There's thing you can do on the board which coincide with getting your rating up but it's not strictly that. Talk to the goddess statue and ask what needs to be done and do it

Why is this slop popular on Steam/? it's still a glorified Nintendo DS game.

how do you guys justify decorating your home base?

but i dont want my friends to live in a commie block forever.

it's purely visual, if they chop it they don't actually chop it

it's fun

no, talk to the statue and evaluate the island. she'll tell you what's missing for the next star.
Though doing the guild board probably gets you there too since it will force you to all that stuff and you need it to raise the cap on houses anyway.
basically

build houses

build infrastructure

upgrade your house

have enough items around

Fully upgrade house.
Have six islander houses.
Build a few bridges.
Add some outside decorations.

That’s what got me 5*.

Yeah, game gives you the option to fight him as if you didn't later on.

Yeah, if you don't the final boss is level 99 or something. Good luck with that. You can apparently do the level 99 version later if you want so just destroy it.

The Goddess Statue literally tells you what you need to do. I think placing bridges and slopes, even if they serve absolutely no purpose, contributes a fair bit to the star rating system she has. I guess it's to discourage players from just turning the buildable space on the island all flat.

funslop is better than normalslop

Thats exactly why.
People have wanted this jank actually quite generic gather dungeon craft game with chibi aesthetic for a long time.
But outside of indie western shit that is in early access for years no ones made one for PC till now.
It unironically would be eclipsed by animal crossing if nintendo wasnt fucking retarded.

got a saddle before one glorious steak

You son of a bitch

Thanks anons. The fact that her requests seemed to coincide with what the board was telling me to do planted the idea in my head that the stars and board rank were basically the same thing.

I think all you need are two stairs and enough buddies to clear all of the debris, and maybe one house. I talked to the statue for every star and she never said anything about upgrading my house or placing items.

Oh right forgot about debris clearing.

butcher for the dlc life?

I think a lot of people were looking for a laid back casual game after the plethora of 'high stakes' serious/angsty titles that came out lately.

Playing something lighthearted without emotional baggage is nice after something like E33, for example. It's just good timing.

I was sitting at 4* and she mentioned upgrading my house so went and did the 100k expansion and talked to her again and was at 5*.

without emotional baggage

For the most part

I tried grinding Taurus and King Woolie for the mounts but after some hours at it I gave up. I wasn't decked up in Item Drop gear at all, but I did end up with enough wool to make 100 king wool and meat to make multiple 5-stack recipes of that stuff.

behold

I hope since the game sold well we get more npc outfits as DLC or for for free.
i want the actual girl clothes that have boobs

Where does he even show up to farm him?

Only mount drop I’ve seen is a tortoise which isn’t as cute as my turtle.

i want them to do a big dlc with boob outfits for the girls and big outfits that give boys the muscle body type so i can get huge

Ginormorsia, need Area Rank 5 on the same area as the Buffalo Settlement

PC is so desperate for games that Nintendo scraps are appreciated

Justification?

nexusmods.com/fantasylifeithegirlwhostealstime/mods/12

depths b4

I should put some buff pots on the quick wheel...

shhh, they're sleeping

great vegetables

They're lined up perfectly for an aoe circle or a charged piercing heavy attack though

i wish he was just all black, would look so much cooler. he looks like a fucking dairy cow

KUBO NOOOOO

500K sales

Is that good? Level 5 hasn't had a win in a while.

Slaughter them

got sick last Tuesday

102 fever with nausea and chills and splitting headache and soreness

so sick I can't play, can't even look at minimum brightness phone screen for 5 minutes without feeling awful

finally start to feel better yesterday

I missed all the starting off community comfiness

People are posting endgame dungeon crawls while I'm still figuring out the differences in mechanics from the first game.

imagine hating the success of this game so much you set up tor, drive to a starbucks, and connect to their wifi, just so you can post that. not even fucking atlyss got this level of seethe, and that game is furshit

Post any questions/things youve discovered/mulitplayer requests anyways
I would be happy to see them and I'm sure a few other anons would like to see it too. Sometimes I've discovered things I glossed over because someone spoke up about it in the thread. Like stickers....

for THIS game? in spite of the dev hell it went through? absolutely phenomenal

this sold 500k within the first week
the first game got like a million sales after YEARS

Duglas was the Miner Master in FL1

nevermind, i stand corrected

it hit 500k within 3 days of actual release, dunno the full 3-day early numbers
for L5 that is ~excellent~

is there a way to check the locations of the items (not crafting)?

And that's off almost entirely word-of-mouth since level-5 can't advertise to save their lives

unfortunately not, that's my biggest pet peeve with the quests

It's insanely good

FAITO FAITO

holy fuck, i've been sleeping on crafting my own crafter and gathering tools, thinking i just use all the tools that dropped for me.
while the difference between ordinary/notable/fine seems to be just a flat bonus having a top crown on it is actually a huge percentage boost?
I made a top notable science flask and that thing is almost as good as a fine furious flask without a crown.
Now i feel dumb.

True, this is one of the most viscerally repulsive ads I've ever seen. youtube.com/watch?v=xb1PDyHha30

What the fuck. Absolute dread.

How do I get "Excellents" when fishing, gathering etc?

Celeste also existed in the Past. After all, there are literally soldiers from Celeste at Swolean Island to take part in the Colosseum. It's just more of whether they are in the same 'timeline' or not, I guess. Is the Duglas the Duglas who moved to Mysteria in presumably his youth, or the one who left Celeste? Laura being missing would've been a huge deal as well, along with a bunch of key members of the Royal Court, like the Royal Cook and Tailor. Though it could all be that they were pulled in from yet another timeline into Ginormorsia.

Overkill damage on the last hit. Like FF10.

Overkill by enough damage
Easiest way being to just use a charge attack at low health

overkill them. get them as close to down as possible and then use a charge swing.

if you're just starting out it'll be a bit iffy until you get your first charge attack
go for that ASAP

metafag dies to the potato

kino

what the actual fuck
who designed and approved this ad

top quality stuff is like, twice as good as "regular"

Game probably cost two cups of ramen to make

Now you understand the prime meta gaming route for games like this: Be a crafter to make tools to make better tools to make better tools to make better tools to make better tools (ad infinitum)

Charged pull/ability at the lowest health possible. Good luck getting them with your buddy...

not just a metafag
a jew metafag
and they celebrate

are romanceonlyfags going to at least play Rune Factory Azuma?

its 500k in 3days
Expedition 33 did 500k in 3 days

Guess which one cost more money

I really think Celeste only exists in the past

This is the damage of a supreme crafted Dragoon's Sword (Fire Element) using a Paladin without any skill points spec'd into attack. Would be 20% stronger if the fire attributes rolled on the weapon.

(both eaten by Inafune)

I'll wait a few days to see if it's a kusoge.

Help with Roast of legend

press lt to see where the ingredients come from

yeah, i can see the light now.
Also just before I ignore something again for an infinity i tried rebuilding a supreme furious flask and wouldn't you know that also puts the little crown (and my signature) on it if i do it good enough.
Guess i can at least rebuild all the decent dropped tools cheaply for a couple of stones to save on materials.

Yes, in this order.

Hitlerette

Brown tomboy bait

Plain bread

Tits

DLC

Wish she was still a loli

Childhood friend

Plain bread 2

Not a romancefag but I'm gonna play if its good and avoid the threads because I know they're gonna be shit

#1 girl is paid DLC

gottem

I'm like 20 hours in and I have never gone to ginormisia besides the tutorial lol

No option for Amber chads

No thanks.

I'd tell you that the threads would be as shit as the game ends up being, but I remembered current Anon Babble must have at least several resident schizos crying about wokeshit and steam charts.

you should go since thats where you get all your Stranglings/Buddies

Looks cool?

people were crying about wokeshit in all the early Fantasy Life threads until they realized nobody was replying to them anymore

sell me on rune factory, i've never played one before
but if you can marry and impregnate girl 1 i will buy it

it's still a glorified Nintendo DS game.

DS games were some of the best games on the market. This sounds like a mark of quality, definitely more than anything most modern companies are putting out.

Bros, what gear can roll +exp if any?

Don't wanna see an indian romancing blondes

I know that the Bikinischizo will be there doing his usual shit, dude is like a cockroach I see him everywhere even in the steam forums and gamefaqs.

MUSCLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

glasses. the butterfly charm from the preorder bonus comes with another +10% but as far as i am aware it can't actually roll on accessories .

He posts on futaba too.

Considering how 5 was I might just go play RF4 again instead.

I have never played a Rune Factory game before but I fucking love that older japanese aesthetic. Are Rune Factory games fun?

Sucks that the sprays use cherry nectar as material

Play Rune Factory 4 instead it's the series peak.

ok so who's the biggest faggot? Hawke?

Orlando, totally

3 and 4 are some of the best farming/crafting games of all time

I don’t know if this will be good 4 is pretty much the definitive RF game imo except the waifus aren’t what good compared to 3

Why are there so few unique enemies, bosses, trees, fishes? this game seems to be filled filled with reskins and recolors, and it shows especially in ginormosia. Didn't the first game have way more variety, even without the dlc? Or is my memory failing me?

I might
but i will wait and see first

3 and 4 were good, 5 was terrible, Azuma is who the fuck knows go pirate it

The pillow

You should be able to, idk if marvelous cut out actually having a child from the franchise with 5 though, i think they actually made it so the baby arrives via stork or magic or some shit so they could shove same-sex marriage into the game.

At what year can I start fighting dragontree? 900 year takes too long.

torrenting this right now. Is all the hype just paid shilling or is this actually good

there's 3 buddies for each crafting class

only two buddies can help you while crafting

Is there even a point to the third one?

I liked it and never play AAA slop

it can spawn at any year it's just the pool is kinda bloated and it's rng what spawns
i set my dungeons to year 600 because magic ore starts spawning at that point, shadow enemies exist and the dungeons only take like 10-15 mins to speed through and give 2 fruit

yes they have different specialities and are each good for different "types" of item so you'll want to rotate your main buddy

it's fun

he was just taking a nap

What's magic like in this game?

None of it is paid shilling. It's a fun game. I think there's quite a few of us that liked the 3DS game

Garbage, sadly. I almost always play a caster in any game that lets you but even I couldn't stomach the garbage state it's in this time.

Weaker than hitting things with a stick
For healer cocksleeves only

underwhelming, but if you like watching your buddies whack stuff its ok

Used to be good in the first game where you could switch your element.

Yeah there's no variation

you dont hit 60k on steam with just paid shilling 2bh

Anyone want to join for some Goddess Fruit?

yeah this confused me the most because they still have the "spell switching" mechanic, but you dont have elemental spells anymore. You cant even do fire/water/electric etc attacks without crafting elemental wands

What are Goddess fruit for?

Its great.
Even the pirate ver's online is really active right now so if you patch that in you're not missing out on anything just waiting for a sale down the line and buying it then.

why did you add a piss filter?

do you know if I can transfer my pirated save file if I eventually buy it?

That's what I did

Unlocking new hairstyles and other things.

Whoever said that the Master outfits aren't as good as the Adept ones was full of shit.

How's your island coming along? I finally have my residential district more or less settled. I just need to flesh out my farming/quarry corner. I feel bad that there's only 6 houses in the neighborhood and everyone else has to sleep on a slab next to the guild with the watchful eyes of two labor enforcing robots making sure they're awake on time to work the fields and earn the right to live with us.

New hair styles, eyes, and Yuelia

Some goddess....

Woodcutter master fur coat is so nice

I don't want to chase mimics for trove saplings

Got it on the fourth spawn

I would, but I can't fucking join any lobbies and it's bugging me.

interacting with anything hides the loot list

I'm so bothered by this.

Is there a list of all the mounts? I see the game says there’s one in the blue flower gacha

gigabased. i played the shit out of this when i lived in japan

Are Pally and Wiz still the kings of combat lives or are Merc and Hunter no longer shit?

I hope they have more tummies

I'm playing Hunter and so far it's really good, so many iframes

check game8

It doesn’t even have all of them, I have ones they don’t even have

I still remember the AI shit game8 was spewing out for unicorn overlord.
Like half the pages were made up nonsense such as explaining false mechanics & statuses that don't even exist.

While off-topic, In terms of Rune Factory:
- Rune Factory 1: I LOVE TURNIPS
- Rune Factory 2: Enjoy the terror of Mana, as well as having her as your mom. Only Rune Factory game that has an 'adult' stage and then 'playing as your child' stage, but suffers due to it (adult 'stage' ends when x seasons pass after marriage and the farm is wrecked again when in 'child' stage, so most players just marry someone (e.g. Mana) and then sleep until the child stage starts). First RF game where you can play as male or female (child stage), though the child stage was censored on the non-Japanese release (children can't be havin' romance with other children, see).
- Rune Factory Frontiers: I LOVE TURNIPS AGAIN, except I loved Selphy. Sorry Mist.
Rune Factory Oceans: Wii only, has some interesting mechanics as the town is literally in the middle of the ocean [/spoiler]built on top of a golem[/spoiler]. Also the first Rune Factory game to be in 3D, but because of how it is some people don't consider it to be a true Rune Factory game.
Rune Factory 3: The best of the RF games in terms of the personalities; all the girls have unique personalities that are all interesting to hang around with. I really hate Sofia and definitely didn't marry her at all. I wish she'd just die in a gutter already.
- Rune Factory 4: First true RF game where you can play as male or female, and also the first game to return after the main developer mysteriously vanished for years after making RF3 (not sure if they ever explained what happened, except it was a surprise even to the team)
- Rune Factory 5: The first 3D RF game after RF Oceans. While it's okay, it didn't really have the same impact the other RFs had.

I just read online the turboglider blueprint is a low drop chance from the gacha

nobody can agree on everything becasue some anons are shitters
hunter was heavily shilled as anons were starting out though because it's fairly retardproof in the earlygame
merc is also pretty damn good right now since charge attacks have i-frames on them

Thanks Google AI.

I really miss when search engines returned a website instead of some invariably wrong opinion about what I'm searching for.

The key is z.

got mine on the first

just mvp your luck :)
you can see the silhouette on the mount screen which gives you a good idea what drops it

speaking of which, does this game even have a wiki yet?

farmerbros how to deal with this, all my plots in the base became lv 15 big boys i can't kill them

Keep changing your date for those flowers I guess.

addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/hide-google-ai-overviews/

for enemies like ghost who resist physical

i remember seeing one of those tutorial popups talking about enemy resistances and i'm pretty sure it used ghosts as an example of enemies who are resistant to magic.
that said my memory is trash and i'm generally kinda dumb so maybe i misread/misremembered it or something.

yes

You can practice your farming at tree island to level up enough to kill the big crops.

get a better hoe
grind farming levels at the ginormosia veggie patch

Provided that I'm only in chapter 3, am I missing something about classes clothes? They don't seem to give any class specific boosts and you can just equip anything regardless of class. Why wouldn't you just go with the strongest metal ones?

thought im sol, thanks bros

hey those colosseum battles are getting kinda tough

The carrots convinced me to level up combat buddies. I like Laura and her “kill everyone in this AoE” light move

i pray for your victory!!!!!
i pray for your victory!!!!!
i pray for your victory!!!!!

You still get XP from it so I just kill the nearby one and then do it again a second time, but infinite giant fossils is cool when it was normally on a 5 min timer

Why wouldn't you just go with the strongest metal ones?

metal armor - DEF focus
robes - MDEF focus
leathers - BALANCED

you want to stack as much MDEF as possible actually, magic damage is lethal
as for your gathering and crafting lives, there are 2 sets you get in the coliseum that boost their stats, but even for your gathering lives it's best to just wear a cheap set of 5 piece leather with 5%*2 item drop on them all, for a 50% item boost drop rate when gathering - you won't need defence for that so the low stats don't matter and leather is cheap to remake at 1 crystal

yeah and the animation seems straight out of Elden Ring lol

NFL1.exe?

supposedly the trip applique (+drop rate) also works for +exp, but only for glasses (since those are the only equips that can get +exp afaik)

This is a great picture.

Thanks

can i get this shit without finishing the game?
i just cleared b3 depth and i didn't find a single magic node

So there is a bit of specialized stats for clothes. It wasn't very clear and all of my attempts just gave generic various elemental boost regardless of clothes. Maybe bad luck.
Right now I'm using Paladin and focus everything on DEF for a first time exploration. Lets me tank a lot of hits and allow me to study all enemies patterns for a while. I'll switch to full offense or farm when I reach Iron since it looks a good place to pause and level up everything.

Go to Sker’ri shrine in Viridian Plateau in Ginormosia. Great Magic Ore node spawns in the challenge there. At least it does at area rank 3, I think that is what I’m set at. I didn’t think area rank changes the challenges but some people above said it does.

magic ore is from a shrine in ginormosia early, postgame areas otherwise or rarely in year 600+ troves

Congrats on your recipe farm

Bro, your Controls screen?
Brother, your Sker'ri Shrine? Just redo the challenge multiple times?

Roast of Legend and Arched Gate appears as a recipe when you get Master Cook and Artist respectively. Heal-All also probably shows up at Master Alchemist. Magic Ingot requires Master Blacksmith and Pink Silk requires Master Tailor them to appear. Magic Ore doesn't appear in Ginormosia (unless I missed it somewhere), though one of the Shrines can show up with it as something you need to mine to complete the challenge. Pink Silk can be easily made via Ginormosia alone, you just need to farm Hill Spiders for it.

pretty sure pink silk thread is from gloom spiders

Can accessories and capes roll exp+ like specs?

No. Just the glasses.

holy shit, did some stuff and got the forager king set, which much better than my current combat gear

no, but you can get double item drops on capes too with appliques

Am I blind or is there not a recipe for inferno leggings in the castle?

Why should I play this game over RF3/4?

Pink Silk Thread also drops in Ginormosia from Hill Spiders. Or was it Sand Spiders? Either way, they definitely do drop there but you need to get the Area Rank up for them to start doing so.

Ok cool. I was wondering since the deluxe bonus flutter charm is an accessory with exp+10 on it.

and that's a unique thing
no other acc can get it

How is the coop?

there is, you missed them

Are bonus skills on equipment random?

Any PS5 players can confirm if the game is at 60fps? Google only gives me results for the Pro.

Is charge attack damage the go to roll for weapons?

mid

yes but you can reroll and manipulate the odds with other items to get your perfect god rolled stuf f

yes

it's meh earlygame, pretty alright midgame, amazing lategame

yes but you can get stickers/appliques that let you influence what you get (you have to unlock the ability to use them via the skill tree first, and then rank up marco's shop to get the recipes to make them)

not him but that's so useful
thanks man

PS5 is locked to 30, consolecuck.

Anybody know if there's a legendary spawn in Moltana Wastes?

Critical hit damage + 10% looks pretty good. Why does charge attack damage beat it?

Fifth try lol

I have done nothing but fish and chop trees for 3 days.

charged attacks are guaranteed, crits ain't

muh 500% potion that lasts for 20 seconds

nyo

Would anybody mind posting what hero skills you get from the gathering Lifes? I want to see if I want to do those today/tomorrow or go ahead and finally beat the game.

It seems I'm in a state where the next step forward for Hero, finally, will be grinding out Tresure Groves

Spoil me anons.
Does this game have a true final boss and is not a copy and paste 3DS version?

I did not like the 3DS version nor its DLC that much because it did not have a true final boss with an impactful ending.

no
and it's not the ds version it's a completely different game

Mohawksaurus during Day, Pyro Panther during Night when it's Area Rank 5. They are both level 90. Akebara Caves or whatever its name was called will also start having a Level 80 Pyro Panther in there from the Waste's side of the tunnel

Looks more fun than Animal Crossing

Quality 60 fps locked
Standard 80~100 fps

Does it have a legendary event?
