So, one of the new lives is... farmer!
I have decidedly mixed feelings about this. There was a mention prior that none of the cut Fantasy Life 3DS lives would be returning, and yet farmer is one of the cut lives.
Also, Fantasy Life fandom spent a fair amount of time after its Nintendo Direct announcement trying to set the record straight that Fantasy Life was not Yet Another Farming Sim, so while we're happy that one of the cut lives did eventually make its way into the game... I'm sure I'm not the only one that thought... "Oh great, the new game is going to be classed as Yet Another Stardew Valley Clone".
