‘Fantasy Life Online’ Is Now Available for Free in Japan on iOS and Android

Level-5’s follow up to the fantastic (I played way too much of it) Nintendo 3DS exclusive Fantasy Life, Fantasy Life Online, has finally hit iOS and Android in Japan. They announced this as Fantasy Life 2 more than three years ago. This underwent a name change and has been missing in action for a while until the company finally showcased a trailer and release window for it. Watch the gameplay trailer below:

If you aren’t aware of the game on 3DS, Fantasy Life is an MMO-lite that had a very charming art style and a lovely soundtrack. The quest structure managed to scratch my MMO itch on the 3DS with just enough busy work and variety. Fantasy Life Online will let you pick a class (Called a Life in game) and start your journey that will change depending on your choices.

If you’re looking forward to playing it right now, you need to make a Japanese iTunes account. Here’s a guide on how to make an iTunes account for another region which is even useful for soft launched games. Fantasy Life Online is now available for free on both iOS and Android in Japan. Here’s a list of supported devices on Android. I hope this gets localised but there’s been no indication of it happening. If you do end up checking it out, let us know how it is in the comments. Here’s the full website for the game if you want some more information.

    Wtf... there is no such thing as mmo-lite for one. And for another how the heck is a single player rpg for the 3ds an mmo when you can only invite one player to your game. Do you know what mmo stands for? It stands for the the quantity of players.

    People compared the original to an mmorpg specifically (note the rpg part), because it had similar quests and progression. No one was actually comparing it to the mmo portion. "mmo-lite" is a ridiculous thing as anything less than massively multiplayer is just standard multiplayer.

      Fantasy Life was originally in development as an MMORPG. It was cut down to a smaller scale, but the quests, large hub area, and gameplay betray it’s origins. It’s true that the final maximum of three players isn’t “massive,” but it was clearly meant to support a lot more players at one point.

        No it wasn't. Why are you making this crap up? It was originally designed for the DS but was delayed and pushed onto the 3DS. I literally followed the development because I like level 5 games, and I also thought the idea of an mmorpg style world/game that didn't require the same time investment or reliance on other players was great. In fact, you're so full of crap because the game originally released with NO MULTIPLAYER at all. Why are you making stuff up? What purpose do your lies serve?

        You do know we are on the internet and we can fact check right? I even tried to find a site that could have provided false information to you, but it doesn't exist. What you are saying is literally made up from your mouth. It was from the very beginning advertised as a life-simulator. You'd know that if you had any idea what the game was about and where it came from.
