Late to the party (because the announcement was almost two weeks ago), but....!
Yeah, it's the one game that would make me buy a Switch. I guess Fantasy Life Online gave the IP just enough oomph that they were willing to make an actual sequel!
ETA: I wish they'd done the trailer a bit differently. Looking at the reacts, people not familiar with the original FL tend to auto-class this as a "farming game" - hilariously, the first one did not have farming (I think it was one of the cut classes?). Also, it looks like an Animal Crossing clone, so if you didn't know this was a life sim/RPG hybrid along the lines of Rune Factory (without the romance)... yeah.
