Level-5 has recently released a series of videos via their official YouTube channel, demonstrating the significant enhancements made to Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time on the Nintendo Switch platform. These updates focus on graphical improvements and faster load times, providing players with a more seamless gaming experience (thanks to Nintendo Everything for the heads-up).

The first video offers a clear comparison of visual quality and performance between the original Switch version and the upgraded edition. It features a scene where the protagonist is chopping down a tree, with close-up shots highlighting the differences. The upgraded version showcases sharper textures, improved frame rates, and more detailed character models, emphasizing Level-5’s commitment to visual fidelity.

The second video concentrates on load times, revealing that the Switch 2 version loads significantly faster than its predecessor. When launching the game from the main menu, the new version completes the process in just over 9.5 seconds, whereas the original takes approximately 17 seconds-an impressive reduction that enhances overall gameplay flow.

Encouragingly, if you already own Fantasy Life i on the original Switch, upgrading to the Switch 2 version is both affordable and straightforward. Level-5 has confirmed that the upgrade fee is only USD $2.59 / EUR €2.27, making it an accessible option for fans eager to experience the improvements without purchasing the game anew.
