Alright, so here’s the thing. I was just sipping my coffee (probably too much cream) when I found out Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is flying off the shelves. Like, literally, they’ve sold over 800,000 copies in, wait for it, less than two weeks since it hit us on May 21. Crazy, right? I mean, who knew a life simulator could be this addictive? It’s out there, available everywhere — Switch, PC, PS5, PS4, and Xbox Series X/S. Talk about spreading the love, huh?
Now, here’s a fun tidbit — this game is like a sequel that’s almost a teenager. Last one dropped ages ago in 2012. I mean, did anyone even remember it? Maybe, maybe not. But what’s wild is, back then, it was this exclusive gem on the Nintendo 3DS, tucked away in Japan. Now, bam, global sensation. It’s like everyone decided to join the Fantasy Life party all at once. Guess good things really do come to those who wait.
On Twitter — because where else does news break these days? — Fantasy Life’s been reveling in its glory. I swear, they hit the 800,000 mark so fast, it’s mind-boggling. And the big bosses over there, they’re eyeing the golden million before June’s curtain call. I mean, could you imagine? A million copies sold in just over a month. For a game nobody really talked about for years, that’s like… I don’t even have words.
Oh, and fun fact — wait, backtrack a bit — they sold half a million in three freaking days. That’s madness! Okay, sure, adding the next 300,000 took a hot minute, but who’s counting? The original, from what I dug up, went on to sell over a million by 2022. So yep, they’re kind of on track.
But here’s what might get things buzzing again — Fantasy Life i is ready to hop onto the Switch 2 train on June 5. It’s like a big deal or whatever, and there’s chatter about how it’s gonna boost numbers. Or not. Because, who knows, right? Games are weird that way.
Anyway, it’s a ride! I’ve probably lost my train of thought somewhere, but you get the drift. Keep an eye on this one — or don’t. Up to you!
