Let's get one thing straight: I'm a pretty big Animal Crossing fan. I've never been a fan of life sim games in general, but there's something about AC that's so relaxing and enjoyable. Maybe it's the idea of living on your own with no cares or responsibilities in the world that draws me into the game so much. As much as I like AC, the events and activities in the game get stale after awhile. The AC series hasn't had many significant changes since it started back on the Nintendo 64 in Japan as "Animal Forest". As an AC fan looking for a change of pace, I found Magician's Quest (MQ) about a year and a half ago. After playing this game for a good year, I can say that MQ is a good alternative...despite its glaring issues.
