Fantasy Life Online Comes Out In English On iOS And Android Today

After Level-5’s wonderful cult classic Fantasy Life came out on 3DS, and blew us all away with its depth, heart, and charm, it was a little disappointing to find out that the sequel would be a mobile-only game called Fantasy Life Online. It was even more disappointing to find out that it was only destined for release in Japan.

However, alongside the news that Level-5 will be closing down the servers for the Japanese version of the game on December 15th, the news broke that publisher Boltrend Games picked up Fantasy Life Online for a Western release.

The game’s story is set in Reveria, the continent on which the original game takes place, and features all 12 jobs (or “lives”) that Fantasy Life had. It’s a more mobile-game take on the story, of course, with rewards, progression, and a story that are more closely tied to dailies and limited-time in-game events, as well as the additional elements of building a village and multiplayer.

Fantasy Life Online is a freemium game, which means that it’s free to play and download, but contains in-app purchases. Players can buy currencies and passes that will cost anywhere from a dollar or two, all the way up to $100+. You’ll receive rewards for downloading the game, too: a Divine Summon Coin, 5 Medium XP Orbs, and 2,000 Dosh (the currency of the game).

Fantasy Life Online held a closed beta for English-speaking players between late October and early November, and now the release date is finally here. The game is available to pre-download now from the iOS App Store and the Play Store on Android, and services will go live at 6pm PT / 9pm ET (Dec 6th) and 2am GMT (Dec 7th).
