Village Building

There is a big focus on Village Building in Fantasy Life Online. Not only will you be able to adjust and change the look and feel of your very own town, but you can also place buildings and decorate the area to your liking. Your adventure and quests in the game will change depending on the buildings you construct in your town. Furthermore you will be able to invite your friends to your village, to trade and exchange items. You can also team up to go exploring and adventuring together. Your friends will also be able to help you advance your town faster.

Below is a sample of Town buildings you can purchase and place in your village.

Your Fantasy Life

The game will feature 12 unique occupations. Similar to Fantasy Life on Nintendo 3DS, choosing an occupation will change your gameplay. Your daily activities will be tailored to whoever you want to be in the game. If you become a fisherman you will be faced with different challenges and quests, as if you would choose to become the owner of the village bakery. Whatever you want to be in Fantasy Life Online, there will always be plenty of activities to do every single day.

Home Sweet Home

Similar to Animal Crossing, you will be able to build and decorate your own home. If you chose the right occupation you may even be able to craft your very own furniture, that is if you collect the materials needed! But, if you aren’t feeling so handy, then you can still purchase and chose from a variety of different furniture and items to make your house a home.
