Fantasy Life is a game where you can select a character and profession to live in the said profession and develop a career.
There is also a main quest/story for you village incentivises you to explore the world to visit new people and places.
I found the game to be very... mid with the combat and resource gathering and due to being the main component to progress your 'life', it can turn from novelty to repetitive with little reward.
The most interesting part of the game is the ability to choose a new character in the same save file. So you can be a fisherman in the life and build your skills and from the stock you make can help your life as a chef to grow also. This was something I never experience before.
I had to shelve the game as I feel overall this is likely more for kids and my patience with it was fading. One day I might pick it up again but feel my opinion wont change
