Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has received an update that offers visual improvements when played on the Switch 2, a nice bonus for fans who want to pick up and play the RPG on the new console.
These improvements include graphic enhancements such as new shadow and reflection efforts, as well as an extension to the distance objects are rendered at. For example, you can now see a forest off into the distance clearly, whereas before it may have looked like a low-poly blur of green shrubbery.
In the official update blog post uploaded to the games’ official website, we see that exact example in a side-by-side comparison, as well as a pair of screenshots showing water effects on the Switch vs the Switch 2. Water now has lovely reflections of light on it. A little thing for some, but a little boost for those willing to make the leap to a new console, cosy RPG in hand.
Other features of this update include an automatic lock-on feature that should make combat a little easier, as well as an adjustment to the Hagram build feature allowing players to press the cancel button and return a moved object to its original position.
God’s Touch was adjusted too! It can now be cancelled by attacking or dodging, plus the button assigned to activating God’s Touch has been relocated on the game pad. Game pad users also have an increased selection of key configurations, and all players can benefit from a new depth of field graphical option.
For those unaware, Fantasy Life i; The Girl Who Steals Time is a very popular RPG that got off to an outstanding start, selling 500,000 copies in just three days. In response to this success, the developers offered free DLCthat included new recipes and expanded content earlier this year.
