Stealing more time.

After a handful of delays, we are slowly creeping up on the April 2025 release window for Level-5’s much-anticipated Fantasy Life follow-up, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time. With the countdown officially on (assuming it isn’t pushed again, of course), Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino has taken to Twitter to share a fresh look at the game — and it’s looking really rather swell.

Translated via Google, Hino prefaced the screenshot drop by stating that major information reveals for the game have been slightly delayed by issues with “compatible models and new hardware” (what could he possibly be referring to there, eh?), but the visuals and content have developed to make the upcoming title “one of the best RPGs out there”.

It’s Karma.

Big, bold characters. Comfortable story beats that deal with multiple worlds, gods, and the power of friendship. Confusingly titled battle systems. And colourful anime openings featuring J-pop songs. The Tales series has made a name for itself over the last 30 years for many different reasons, and it’s why many — myself included — call it the comfort-food JRPG.

Despite growing up with big names like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, I can pinpoint the exact moment I knew that RPGs were my genre: Tales of Symphonia‘s release on the GameCube. It was cheesy, over the top, full of heart, and exactly what I needed as I stood on the brink of my teenage years.
