New Fantasy Life i Patch Adds Photo Mode, Mount Improvements

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has a new patch on all platforms, bringing a brand-new photo mode, new abilities for mounts, a wide camera angle for the Base Camp, and a heap of other quality-of-life upgrades.

Version 1.5.0 is out now, bringing with it a brand-new photo mode that can be accessed directly from the Weird Pad. The photo mode looks pretty thorough, including plenty of options for posing multiple characters in a scene, as well as a multitude of emote expressions.

The update also adds a new item called Pride of the Mount, which can be unlocked by completing a quest from Monsieur Cobra. Once acquired, Pride of the Mount will unlock a dash-speed upgrade for your mounts, as well as two new mount abilities–double=jump and cliff climbing.

When on the Base Camp island, you’ll now be able to use a new expanded camera angle, allowing you to see more of the island in one shot. The new “Far” camera angle can be enabled from the options menu.

Version 1.5.0 also adds a handful of new items and recipes, as well as some helpful quality-of-life updates–including the ability for multiplayer hosts to kick disruptive or idle players where certain conditions have been met.

Check out the full list of improvements and bug fixes in the patch notes below:
