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.

Date: 2023-02-20 06:40 pm (UTC)Pokemon Scarlet or Violet (I haven't decided which version) and the Pokemon Snap remake are also on my list to pick up after Fantasy Life i.
This is also to support Level-5, which puts out fantastic games and fandom wants to convince to keep putting out games outside Japan. (I see there's a new Professor Layton in the new Direct, and despite not being heavily invested into Yo-Kai Watch I'm on the sidelines of that fandom and I'd be thrilled to see a new game for that IP as well.)
