No review on this yet? I've been excited for this game for awhile and was hoping to see what NL thought of it. Hope it arrives soon!
I'm desperate to know how this game plays it looks like fantasy life, but I'm worried it plays like Rune Factory 4 (don't get me started).
@Nin10doh I'm with ya. I loved Fantasy LIfe (have way too many hours clocked in it) but Rune Factory 4 never grabbed my fancy. I'm hoping to see what NL thinks about this game.
@Jake_homs Exactly. Let's hope there is a review soon.
I rented it a few days ago and so far I like it ALOT..IMO it does kinda play like Fantasy Life(and like Jake_homs I have way too many hours clocked into it too) but it has the farming elements of Harvest Moon or Story of Seasons..I was excited when this game was announced and thought about pre-ordering it but decided to rent it first..I had pre-ordered HM:the lost valley and I'm sorry that I did,so I didn't want to make that mistake again if this game turned out to be a stinker..but I don't think it is...there are some people who might like Lost Valley but I didn't,and I think the same can be said for this game...it won't be everyone's cup of tea,but I'm glad I gave it a try
I too hope NL does a review of this game,it would be interesting to know what they thought of it
