#Honesty the whole direct was just reviving dead franchises

Okay now that I've had time to process the new Fantasy Life announcement, I'd like to discuss my thoughts.

So a common compression people who hadn't played the game was that Fantasy Life for the 3DS was too similar to Animal Crossing, some even said that it was a knockoff, of course to anyone who has actually played Fantasy Life, knows this isn't really the case. Sure thr graphics were kind of similar, and you could decorate a house and design your character, much like in Animal Crossing. But all in all, they're very different game. But the new Fantasy Life definitely seems like it's leaning into those comparisons, which is disheartening to me to say the least. Don't get me wrong I think the game will still be amazing, but I'm a little sad it seems to be loosing some of its unique identity to be more like Animal Crossing. I'm sure it'll still have the charm the orginal game had, I just worry a little.

Something I'm curious about is if this game takes place in Reveria like the orginal. At first I thought it was fairly disconnected to the orginal world, but it looks like Odin is in this game? So it might be connected. I will admit I was a little sad when it didn't look like we were going to get to see Castele, Port Puerto, and Al Maajik, and all the other major areas, because these places all have such a special place in my heart, and I hope we get to see some more characters from the orginal game as well. I really want to see how all my favorite characters are doing now, Damian, Olivia, Yuelia and Noelia. This world and all these characters all have a special place in my heart and I just hope we get to see them all again!! All in all, I'm very excited, maybe I'm a little worried but I'm sure all those worries will fade when the game releases. I still can't believe Level 5 is making new games again and I'm just so happy and excited.
