now this is a thread with the real question
i wanna know this too

Stardew Valley

This one, that’s it.

Rune Factory series

Which one should I start with?

3 and 4 are the only good ones. There are some that prefer 3 to 4, but the general consensus is that 4 is top dog. Either way, I'd start with 3 since 4 upgrades a few things and going from 4 to 3 (like I did) will feel jarring in a few aspects.

Generally speaking they get better with every release so the honest answer is just play 4 but then you miss out on the others as you probably won't like them as much if you play after. I think you should at least do 3 and 4. If you have some degree of tolerance for slightly ropey game mechanics in a series that's finding its feet just play from 1 or 2. You could also play Frontier on the wii which is SORT OF a remake of 1 and a lot better, but it has one absolutely terrible mechanic (runeys) that I highly recommend using an emulator to just completely ignore.

Stardew if you want pure farming/economy/social life simulator; Rune Factory if you want all of that but with actually decent (especially in 4's case) combat

My time at Portia, except its all crafting no farming

Rune Factory

Yeah this is great for just the SoL sim. I never really played HM or RF for the farming tho.

How is it? What do you do in the game?

Curious about that too, is Portia fun?

Is rune factory better than Kamidori?

You run a workshop and compete against other people's shops and stuff. It's like HM just remove the farming, and replace it with more ruin exploring and building things for yourself/other people. Pretty fun for what it is worth.

Animal crossing

Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles, it kind of falls into the whole Harvest Moon type of game, and its pretty fun to explore, god a bunch of shit to find

Silly to compare, they're radically different games senpai

Portia fairly fun, but they're still working on it even after getting out of early access. Making sweeping gameplay changes adding features. Also voice acting is not complete.

>voice acting
ruined

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin

I think that's a sidescrolling game isnt it

>cant reliably hook game text
Well fuck.

What year are you in?

Rune Factory 3 and 4. That series has so much SOUL.

Technically they're spin-offs aren't they?

Fuck you

What’s wrong with that game?

So, My Time in Portia is complete (more like incomplete) garbage?

It has a demo you can play. Nothing stopping you from just trying it out yourself.

Still not released.

wait isnt that pic an incest eroge ?

Not really clones since its made by the same people and is a spinoff. Also it puts a lot more emphasis on combat and monster collecting more than it does farming. RF4's farming area is a fraction of the size you get in a harvest moon game.

Eroge yes, incest no.

>There will never be a comfy farming game that combines the technical options of Farm Simulator with the waifus of Harvest Moon/ Rune Factory in the style of the CANVAS engine.

HM is too basic, FS is too souless where's the farm game for me Yea Forums?

What you mean is basically Harvest Moon/Rune Factory in proper 3D. I am shocked nobody has done that yet. Portia is a bit like that, but it's ugly western trash.

is RF4 emulatable yet?

Yes

Kynseed development has really sped up. it might be the next big thing. If devs stay on track and keep promises.

Yeah but you should wait until the remake comes out since it will add some stuff into it.

There was this 3DS game called fantasy life that was pretty good, although not quite a “clone”. It has job classes like an RPG but the classes are things like fisherman, miner, forager etc. You level up your skills in order to create better items. It had some combat elements too. Sorta felt like DQ9 but with more slice of life elements.

Depend which saved file

A million times better than all the HM clones people pretend to like.

Rune Factory is fantastic, especially Rune Factory 3 and 4. It's made by the same people that used to do Harvest Moon (now Story of Seasons) and is very similar but adds combat and RPG elements.

Shit nigga, I just got monkey paw'd

Great game but ultimately short and not really rewarding in the Sim aspect. Lots of promise that they could have expanded on, but instead reeled back for a mobile game.

>"Is this just japanese Stardew Valley?"
Did these niggas just...

is there something like stardew that isnt piss easy?

Really pisses me off that everyone knows what Stardew Valley is but not a lot know about Rune Factory when SV is just a shitty knockoff of RF.

>"Zelda fans" not knowing Goombas, Chain-Chomp, etc were in Link's Awakening
>No one knowing what RF is or why 5 being announced is a big deal
>Mario Maker was "the only game" shown
>everything else was "weebshit"

What part of Stardew did you find 'piss easy'? Because farming and relationship aspects of many other games aren't any deeper and combat becomes trivial in RF once you've leveled up enough.

It's a shitty knock off of RF, which is a spin off of HM.

Not him, but Stardew just pours money into your coffers.

This is Story of Seasons right? I really don't care for this art style at all. What happened to the qt waifus like in the old Harvest Moon games? All the characters are so ugly.

The fuck dude. That is a fucking Dora fucking Emon. Like doraemon. As in doraemon.

Ah. No wonder it looks nothing like I remember Harvest moon. I haven't kept up with the Story of Seasons games at all.

>What part of Stardew did you find 'piss easy'?
The massive profit margins. I like farming but I also like min maxing so I want a game that will give a bit of grind.
