Sure, here’s a messy, human-like version of the article:
So, there’s this game, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time—kind of a mouthful, right? Anyway, it’s like this cozy escape into a virtual life, and here’s the kicker: it’s sold over 800,000 copies globally. Yeah, they pulled that off in just 12 days since it dropped on May 21. I mean, wow. The game’s all over the place—Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox—you name it. It’s from Level-5 and Nintendo’s behind it too.
Now, here’s a wild thought. Sequels popping up a decade later feel a bit… unexpected? But, honestly, that’s exactly what happened with this Fantasy Life thing. The first version was a 3DS Japan exclusive from ages ago, and now—bam!—it’s on everything all at once. Smart move, I suppose. Broader reach. Duh. And let’s be real, it apparently works wonders for sales.
Oh, and the buzz on Twitter? Can’t ignore it. The game’s official account shouted out its 800,000 sales milestone. All this just 12 days after they tossed it out there! The devs are all hopeful about hitting that 1 million units mark by the end of June. If they pull that off, it’d mean a million copies in a flash—like, just over a month. For a niche game resurrected after forever, that’s pretty neat.
Wait, there’s more. The game hit half-a-million sales in just 3 days—really, stop and think about that—150k copies per day. It slowed down a bit afterward, sure, but that’s expected, right? Games just do that. What’s intriguing is how it needs to hit 200,000 more to catch up with the original’s lifetime sales. That one did like 1.11 million by December last year, according to some CESA Games thing.
And, just when you think it’s wrapping up, plot twist! On June 5, the game is crashing onto the Switch 2 as a launch title. Could be a sales bump. Or maybe not. Who knows? We’ll see if that million mark gets smashed according to their timeline. Just a few days to wait—no big deal. Let’s just watch and see what happens!
