FANTASY LIFE i The Girl Who Steals Time - Tips and Tricks: Beginner

This is a beginner's guide for FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time. Learn the basics of the game, as well as other tips and tricks to help you in your grand adventure in Ginormosia!

FANTASY LIFE i Beginner's Guide

Beginner's Guide To-Do's






Get All Lives Early

Change Lives

As soon as you can, prioritize unlocking every Life. You’ll naturally pass by trees, ores, fishing spots, and enemies while exploring, and having their respective Lives unlocked means you can gather, fight, or craft on the fly without having to backtrack later.

Don’t Rush the Story

Arrive at Eternia Village

Don’t feel pressured to rush through the main story. Fantasy Life i is designed for you to explore, gather, craft, and level up at your own pace. If you ever find yourself running low on materials, side quests, or things to do, that’s your cue to nudge the story forward.

Otherwise, soak up the world, build your Lives, and enjoy the freedom the game gives you.

Prioritize Leveling Gathering and Crafting Lives

Combat Lives will naturally level up while you fight monsters. But Gathering and Crafting Lives only level up when you actively perform their actions.

Focus on them early so you can craft better gear and items as soon as possible.

Aim for EXCELLENT Every Time When Gathering

When gathering items via woodcutting, mining ore, and fishing, finishing with an EXCELLENT grants more items than usual.

Learn the timing and rhythm early and your backpack will thank you.

Change Your Life Anytime

FANTASY LIFE i - Starting Life.png

At the beginning, if you want to obtain a new Life, then you will need to head to a Guild Office and talk to whoever's running it, like Auntie Anne, for example. Once you select the "Change Life" option, all you'll need to do now is select the Life you want to change to.

How to Change Lives

Quick Change Lives As You Explore!

Quick Life Change

In case you're doing multiple different tasks, then the game allows you to automatically change Lives depending on the action that you take. For example, if you're going to fish, then you will automatically change to an Angler. As for combat Lives, you will simply need to pull out and equip your weapon to change it.

List of All Lives

Play With Your Friends

2 Player Family

FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time will feature online and local multiplayer support for players who want to play co-op with other players from around the globe or within your vicinity respectively.

Multiplayer Guide

Cross-Play Multiplayer Available!

Cross-Play

Cross-Play feature is also an additional feature in the game, which allows players to play with one another across different consoles or platforms.

This broadens the multiplayer possibility of the game without being subjected to console compatibility.

Cross-Play and Cross-Saves Guide

Learn Which Lives Synergize

Some Lives are designed to naturally work together, and leveling them alongside each other can make your playthrough way smoother. For example, being a Miner lets you gather ore, which you can then immediately use as a Blacksmith to craft stronger weapons and armor.

Similarly, a Woodcutter can collect logs for a Carpenter to turn into bows, staffs, or furniture. Anglers can catch fish that a Cook turns into meals for stat boosts.

If you pair up these Lives as you play, you’ll constantly feed resources into one another and save yourself the hassle of hunting down ingredients later. It’s an efficient way to build up your resources, equipment, and cash flow without needing to rely on shops or the story’s pacing.
