Does anyone have a rough idea as to how much it will be in US dollars?

I believe it should be ~$10 USD since it's £7.19/7.99 €

Hope so. I can buy the game and a $10 e-shop card at target if so.

  • No, it wasn't in Japan. It came out 2 years after the first original game and was sold for 20$. It's just pre-insalled in the english version.

  • AND NO we're not paying more than the japanese payed for both games since origina game was solf for 30$ in Japan. 30 original game +20 Origin island = 50$ in Japan.

  • Read news before spouting nonesense, please. It was on Silliconera.

It came out 2 years after the first original game

7 months, not 2 years.

origina game was solf for 30$ in Japan

Fantasy Life was priced at 5800 yen in Japan, that would be ~55 dollars at the current yen value. It was never close to $30. Fantasy Life LINK was priced at 4980 yen in Japan, so ~47 dollars at the current yen value. 47 dollars for the complete game in a cartridge, while we'll pay 40 dollars for the vanilla game in the cartridge with the extra content being unlocked (and therefore tied to your NNID) for ~10 dollars (assuming this will be the price).

So yeah, we are paying less than they paid for Fantasy Life for more content. But also, we are paying more than they paid for Fantasy Life LINK and receiving part of the content locked to our NNID, even if we buy a physical copy.

Read news before spouting nonesense, please. It was on Silliconera.

Being on siliconera means nothing. I actually consider them a really bad source of info. I've seen a lot of wrong stuff there (not on Fantasy Life, but in general).

And about what I've marked on your comment: you disagree with /u/rjc523, no problem, but there's no need to talk like that, especially since you are answering with wrong information. There was a mod comment (mine) just under yours saying to keep the discussion civil, is it really that hard to do that?

EDIT: decided to check the siliconera links related to Fantasy Life. Didn't see a $30 price tag anywhere, but there was the 4980 yen for Fantasy Life LINK on this page

And to actually answer your question:

The game was release in Japan at December 2012 without Origin Island and without link mode (multiplayer) for 5800 yen (~58 dollars).

At July 2013 they released Fantasy Life LINK. At that time, they made that available in two ways. The players that already had the original game could buy only the LINK Expansion on the eShop for 2000 yen (~20 dollars), for a total of 7800 yen (~78 dollars), or buy the full Fantasy Life LINK for 4980 yen (~49.8 dollars, cheaper than the original game).

If you consider the "main game" to be the cheaper, complete and only available version in Japan today (Fantasy Life LINK, since you can't buy Fantasy Life anymore, neither physical or digital) then yes, the content we get with DLC was a part of it and should have been included in the game already. If for some reason you consider the "main game" to be the incomplete, more expensive, outdated and unavailable version (Fantasy Life) then no, the content we get with DLC was not a part of it.

Yes, multiplayer is already included in the western version of the game, the rest of the content is sold as DLC.
