Ah, the classic Xbox version has a weird bug strikes again—glad the devs are on it, though. At least the rest of the platforms are good to go, so the hype train isn’t totally derailed

Bummer about the Xbox delay, but at least the devs are being transparent and working hard to fix it. Here's hoping the wait isn't too long—Fantasy Life i looks like such a cozy escape Tech hiccups are always frustrating, but it’s cool that PlayStation and Steam players can still dive in early. Fingers crossed for a smooth fix so Xbox fans don’t miss out on the fun for long.
