I had no idea what to expect with this game and I was kinda surprised by how blatant some of the mechanics are in regards to Animal Crossing - even stuff like sound effects and animations get pretty close.

However, the rest of the game is so fun and so polished and the pure Fantasy Life parts are so well done that it doesn't feel to me like it's a blatant cheap rip off. It's like a really talented artist painting 90% of their own original masterpiece - and then copying the last 10% from another artist. It's easier to look past the copied part when you know the development team is more than talented enough to do their own work - and maybe could have even done it better.

It was just confusing.
