estiroseWanted to replay the original 3ds game before the release of Fantasy Life i!
The gist of the challenge is that I am limited to 4 mostly-random Lives that I must take from the tutorial to Master level; once I do for each, I can add a new, mostly-random Life.
1. I'm limited to 4 Lives (classes) at first, until I reach the level of Master. Once I get to the level of Master in any Life, I can pick up a new (random) Life. I can switch between each Life I can access freely as needed.
2. For each Life, including my initial one, I have control over the category (either combat, gathering, or crafting) but not which Life gets chosen. So I can opt for a crafting Life, but the dice will determine if I'm a blacksmith, a carpenter, a cook, a tailor, or an alchemist. I also have to opt for a different category each time - so if I choose a crafting Life, the next class must be a combat or gathering Life.
3. I need to hit a certain character level before I advance the Tales of Lunares (which also allow you to reach new sections). I've decided that these should be multiples of 10 - so Tales of Lunares 1 gets completed at character level 10 and so on.
Feb 2 25: My choice for category was combat (because I've done runs where I started with a non-combat class; using a dagger is painful), I rolled Hunter. Did the intro stuff (talking to Pam, going to the guild office, the meeting with Flutter/Butterfly, going to the castle and meeting the king) and then the entire Hunter intro questline. Bliss tutorial, picked up extra backpack space. Then the next morning arrived.
Following the discussion with Butterfly, had the whole Gramps cutscene thing and selected "I want to be an artist" to celebrate the new class in Fantasy Life i. Learned about quests. Went to the guild office and its "this is what you can do here" cutscene thing. Then it was time to pick up a new Life; chose to random roll a crafting life; I want to do a gathering life after that and depending on my roll for this and the next one (gathering) I'll either go for another crafting life or a combat one. I rolled and got Tailor. This will be fun!
Feb 3 25: Finished up the Tailor tutorial, decided to go with a gathering class, rolled Angler (!). Finished that tutorial. Final class was blacksmith, did that tutorial. Got to the next rank in both Angler and Tailor (despite some button mishaps with one of the crafting stations). Working on Blacksmith.
Feb 4 25: All 4 classes are now at the next rank. Angler - managed to get the stupid counter hook thing done. Gained XP until reaching level 10 to start the first Tales of Lunares; done! Completed the next level of Hunter, level 11 or 12. Now working on Angler.
