During the Level-5 Vision 2023 II presentation, the company confirmed the new release window for the delayed Fantasy Life i Switch is now Summer 2024. It also brought up many of the quality of life changes that will appear in the game.
The primary point of the gameplay footage shown during the event compared the Switch game to the original 3DS release. It began by showing the character creator and how elements from the first entry look when used for a new avatar in the console release. After that, it also confirmed some new face and hair parts being added.
After that, it went on to show how Fantasy Life i changed the gameplay experience. At first, the video focused on the obvious parts, which were the new aspect ratio and improved graphics. But then it got into how it improved the experience to make the quality of life better. For example a character can run without using SP now, and if there’s a small ledge you can climb up it instead of having to run around for a ramp or other means. You can be an Artist or Farmer when choosing which Life to pursue, and you can swap to any of the jobs in the game at any time. The minigames for skills changed.
Customization changed as well. When it comes to decorating your room, you can take a first person perspective to see how it would look and arrange things. It is also possible to decorate outside of homes now. When you do this, you can adjust how things look around your place or others’.

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time will release worldwide on the Nintendo Switch in Summer 2024.
