Level-5 has just rolled out a significant new update for Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, bringing the game to version 1.3.3 on both Nintendo Switch and the new Nintendo Switch 2. Released on June 19, 2025, this patch is particularly notable as it aligns the Switch experience with other platforms like PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam, delivering a host of quality-of-life improvements and crucial bug fixes.
This update demonstrates Level-5’s ongoing commitment to refining the game across all platforms. Originally slated for a later version (1.4.0), these changes were prioritized, indicating the developer’s responsiveness to player feedback and desire for platform consistency following the game’s successful launch, which has surpassed one million units sold.
Here’s a breakdown of the key changes players can expect in the Fantasy Life i version 1.3.3 update:
Key Feature Additions & Adjustments
Several aspects of gameplay have been tweaked to enhance the player experience:
Expanded Camera View: Players can now opt for an expanded camera range in the Past and Ginormosia areas, allowing them to see much farther into the environment. A new “Camera Operation (Normal / Far)” option has been added to the settings menu to toggle between the classic view and the new, wider perspective.
More Flexible Skelegon Flight: The ability to fly using the Skelegon mount has been improved, now allowing players to initiate flight even while jumping or swimming.
Re-listening to Life Songs: For those who enjoy the musical rewards of mastering a Life, it’s now possible to re-listen to Life Songs. Simply speak with the respective Life Master NPC after reaching Master Rank to trigger the song again.
Streamlined Farming Actions: Cultivating your farm is now more efficient:
“Water Plants” has been assigned to a separate button from “Sow Seeds” and “Harvest,” preventing accidental inputs.
Both “Sow Seeds” and “Water Plants” actions now target all tiles on the farm simultaneously.
Players will automatically sheath their weapon when dashing during harvesting, avoiding combat inputs while tending crops.
These adjustments aim to add depth and polish, directly addressing aspects of player navigation, movement, and daily tasks within the game world.
Important Bug Fixes Included
Alongside the feature enhancements, version 1.3.3 addresses several bugs to improve stability and correct gameplay issues:
Pegasus Mount Acquisition: Fixed an issue preventing the Pegasus Mount from being obtained from a specific treasure chest inside the Guild Office & Paladin’s Guild in Eternia Village.
Main Story Chapter 3 Fixes: Resolved issues in the “Place the sign and furniture” objective where progress could be blocked if the required item was lost (now available for purchase at Marco’s Shop) or if the required item was of “Top quality.”
Status Effect Bug: Fixed an issue where skills intended to inflict status effects on enemies could incorrectly apply the status to the player character.
No-Mount Zone Adjustment: Corrected the boundaries for no-mount zones on the Tropica Isles, which were previously larger than intended.
The update also includes fixes for other minor bugs to improve overall game performance and reliability.
This Fantasy Life i update brings the game on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 up to par with versions available on other platforms, enhancing key gameplay areas and resolving frustrating issues. As a popular Adventure Simulation RPG praised for its depth and featured as a launch title for the Switch 2 (where it offers technical improvements and a paid upgrade path from the original Switch version), this continued support from Level-5 is a positive sign for players looking forward to future content, including the planned free “Update the World” DLC featuring a roguelike open world mode.
Players on both Switch consoles can download the version 1.3.3 update now to experience the latest improvements and fixes.
