youtube.com/watch?v=YZRgXUdQ21c The third live promotional event just happened confirming some speculation about RF4S that we had heard beforehand >You can't marry Venti >But she has her own fully voiced side story along with the other marriagables >It's paid DLC on top of the game
It also showed off grouping up with the Native Dragons, thankfully no slowdowns. I'll be posting some of the art from the broadcast
Marvelous held its latest live stream for Rune Factory 4 Special today. Aside from showing the latest footage, details were provided on the Another Episode mode.
Here’s the full rundown:
– This mode is an extra mode featuring new voice dramas of Ventuswill and the twelve bachelors and bachelorettes – Accessed from the title screen – The voice dramas will have newly recorded voices and new illustrations as well – Only Ventuswill’s voice drama is free and included – The other 12 voice dramas will cost one extra 700 yen purchase for all 12 of them at once – Marvelous is holding an early buyer’s campaign, where players who buy and play starting on the release day of July 25, 2019 to August 26, 2019 will be able to download the extra voice dramas with the bachelor and bachelorettes for free
Ok not as bad as some made out to be. I'm still picking it up
Levi Turner
Who knows I'm waiting for the Dual Audio news before buying the game. No JP voice no buy!
Gabriel Bennett
What the fuck is the point if Venti is not actually bachelorette in the the game? I
Logan Wilson
And last is some Wooly plush, I think they're raffling out 10 of 'em to those who retweet some thing on their Twitter as another promo for the game Don't expect baka gaijin to be eligable
It's free if you download on launch In JP what's wrong with that?
In the previous stream they said that for story reasons she can't really move from her spot that much so you can't have events like the other partners.
Michael Jackson
Who’s the surgeon?
Lincoln Rodriguez
I want to play this game series and I have a Switch but it feels weird buying this knowing the next is in development. I don’t think I’d buy twice unless 5 was a few years off. Especially with DLC. I should just wait for 5 right?
Levi Ward
>what's wrong with that? The fact that they're porting it over Switch and had the gall to call it Special meant it's a better version of RF4 3DS, but so far there's no new content, no new dungeons, same old MILF blue balling, there's no point in buying this game unless they charge it below 2000 yen.
Jaxon Parker
If you have the time and money, why not buy this one first so you'll see if the series is your cup of tea earlier?
Joshua Allen
>Day 1 DLC straight out of the ass >Can't even romance Venti Fucking hell, just when I thought RF is back, the developer pulls cancerous shit like this. Day 1 DLC from you means Day 1 pirate for me then.
Jackson Carter
I'm torn. On one hand, I really like RF4. It was cool, sank about 50 hours into it easily. On the other, I kinda think that the "endgame" (or at least everything that happens after a certain plot point) is just tedious dungeon grinding. Plus I just think the farming in general is underutilized. I still might buy this, but also I don't see a huge reason to jump on this over the 3DS version
Jack James
The Venti DLC is free, at least for Japan
Dylan Butler
DLC better be free for the west, I'd assume we get new content with SPECIAL. Like what the fuck? I love RF, but marvelous please.
In my opinion, if you have the 3DS version there's no real big need to pick up Special. That's at the moment, they haven't revealed any additional added content as far as I know other than the DLC and you can just watch that shit on youtube
Zachary Thomas
>can't fuck the dragon Good I expected she was actually a decent character for how much shilling she gets here but she is fucking boring as hell
Josiah Powell
According to the Japanese Eshop they are selling this game for $50. Seems kind of steep for a 6 year old 3ds game that also has paid DLC.
Charles Fisher
>Start playing RF4 >Find out the dragon is actually the cutest girl >Look up way to marry her >You can't >Keep playing through thinking she'll at least transform into her human form at some point in the story >She doesn't >Find out later a remake's coming >Finally, I'll be able to marry the dragon >mfw this thread
It wouldn't be a problem if they had removed that shitty RNG events system.
Carter Diaz
Wait for the inevitable RF3 remastered because there is no way they aren't going to try to milk the franchise for all its worth at this point.
Ayden Russell
>can't bang dragon >STILL can't bang milfs What the fuck is even the point?
Liam Smith
What do you mean?
Leo Thomas
>$50 I mean 20 or 30 would have been fine but 50? That's literally the price of a brand new game and not some HD version of a 3DS game from 7 years ago, I even think the 3DS game was cheaper when it was brand new I doubt they need the money so why?
Levi Hughes
$50?! What the hell are they smoking thinking they can sell a 3DS port like that? Do they think they're Capcom or something now?
Tyler Anderson
This has always pissed me off. Especially when some of the bachlorettes in the RF series are way older than the milfs due to non-human shenanigans
Connor Rivera
>still can't be gay in this game
Why even bother...?
Isaiah Gonzalez
Can't have used goods. They wouldn't even sell at a clearance sale.
Lincoln Sullivan
"muh dragon" and "muh milf" faggots are the fucking worst and I hope you swear off the franchise forever so I won't have to deal with you anymore.
Because that's the price for all Switch carts of that size. Never mind that RF4 has more content than most games period,
>Series barely survives >Given a last go >B-BUT MUH SCALIE FETISH PIRATE BOYCOTT! More proof that dick first thinking faggots kills good series.
Carter Lee
People want what they can't have
Justin Gray
>Series barely survives The series was the only profitable thing Neverland did, it was literally everything else that killed them
Evan Price
And now fetishfags is trying their hardest to bury it for good because it doesn't pander to them.
Joshua Allen
It's a 3DS port. What size can it possibly be to sell at $50 when there are currently games being sold physically at $30-$40.
Matthew Barnes
>fetish It's literally just because of the twintail loli human form.
Andrew Thompson
>People make a meme out of slopes and Banjo >Nintendo adds slopes and banjo
>People make a meme out of Mighty and classic Sonic >Sega adds Mighty and classic Sonic
>People make a meme out of dating the dragon >"Sorry you can't date the dragon"
Sorry I can't buy your game.
Isaiah Nguyen
This. All I want is to be pounded by Kross or Brodrik from Frontier as qt twink farmer
Cooper White
Frankly, if they want me to buy this port they'd better add more shit than paid extra cutscenes. I've got this game on 3DS already, and honestly even if I didn't I have Stardew Valley and Terreria on Vita, both of which I feel are better games in the end. I am legit pumped for RF5 though
Benjamin Wood
>rune factory 3 had 0 short haired girls (the tomboy had a huge ponytail) >Rune factory 4 had 1 short haired girl, who from what I heard gets long hair if you marry her As a short hair fag, this series does nothing for me when it comes to cute girls
just pirate it, like you pirate every switch game. you do pirate switch games right?
Michael Moore
It's just voiced side stories, I mean just watch 'em on youtube or something. Also the Vanti one seems to be free
Noah Jones
I cracked it for the sole purpose of being able to play games like rune factory undubbed.
Kayden Rogers
>You can't marry Venti
Caleb Myers
>Literal upscale of the 3DS game >Weird low-poly models and low res environment on a 720p/1080p screen >The new bonus stuff is just an audio recording >You have to pay for each additional audio recording I wasn't feeling like getting it but this just reinforces my frugality. Time to wait on RF5.
IIRC, Sony has a division that makes mobile games that some people outsource to. But they're so fucking shit at it, they just killed the company NIS with their absolute failure on the Disgaea mobage.
David Roberts
>RF5 info in July So what do you think we're going to get? I imagine we will probably get protagonist designs and maybe a look at one heroine and hero.
Michael Gutierrez
>You have to pay for each additional audio recording It's 700 yen for all of them together.
Jace Bennett
I don't care to marry her, but it is shamefully silly that they can't be assed to make at least her and a new guy for bonus bachelors at least for a long ass wait leading to a "Special" that isn't very special. It's like they completely forgot characters like Harvest Goddess were possible despite the story.
Bentley Gomez
Brief gameplay, protag and 1 bachelor/bachelorette is what I expect
Caleb Reed
Can't recall Harvest Goddess or other divine/special chars being marriable besides that one semi villainess and debatably the witch from the earliest RFs
Cameron Richardson
What the fuck is the obsession marrying Venti? Is Yea Forums just full of furries or did I really miss something in this game? She was a friend in game and I think it's implied that she might like you, but she's also a big ugly old dragon. I seriously don't get it. I'd rather be able to get with the milfs/older girls instead of fucking Venti.
Carter Sanchez
Why people are sperging about drama disks that get dumped on youtube soon or later?
I know the harvest goddess was marry-able in the GBA game
Kevin Jackson
You can marry her in DS. If you count Witch Princess, she's an option quite a few times.
Andrew Carter
She has a cute human form
Xavier Gray
Why does new content cost extra?
Colton Rogers
Painfully generic even compared to the bachelorettes that you can marry
Jack Martin
They paid a bunch of popular Seiyuu a bunch of money to record more than just one liners Considering that Rune Factory bankrupt them before, they're investing in milking the hardcore fanbase rather than pandering to the masses
Adrian Hall
>It's paid DLC on top of the game suprisedblinkingincredulousman.gif
Isaac Sanchez
I'm not even angry about this paid DLC, but isn't this... dumb? Like, if the new DLC was a new waifu or a new... section of the town let's say, then yeah obviously people will buy it. But this is stuff you can literally read on a wiki article, and fans will have posted the English transcripts long before the game releases here Basically, it just seems stupid all around
Jonathan Barnes
Not to mention most of the bachelor/bachelorette were pretty boring. Other than Dolce and maybe 1-2 others, RF4 had one of the most boring selection of love interests. It's why a lot of people latched onto marrying Venti, she was way more interesting than everyone else.
Liam Cook
Can I fug the dragon yet?
Bentley Martinez
>Not to mention most of the bachelor/bachelorette were pretty boring. Hey fuck off, Dol- >Other than Dolce ...Agreed
Blake Gomez
What's a voice drama??
Alexander Johnson
Usually it's the voice actor reading a short story involving their character, or it's told from a first-person PoV
Samuel Long
Oh I see, thanks for the clarification. It doesn't really sound like a good deal for the game unless you're really into the characters.
Asher Jones
That seems to be the consensus among the fans, yup. You can easily just watch them on youtube or something anyhow
Wyatt Allen
WHY CAN'T THERE BE ANY TITTY MONSTERS IN THESE GAMES AAAAAAAAAAA
Of course he is and so is anyone else who mentioned her. There is no Harvest Goddess in the RF series. The point is that a divine being can be a marriage candidate if they want her to.
Joseph Campbell
There was no Rune Factory game on the GBA, so what do you think genius
Nathan Baker
I don't remember the entire series history. Sue me.
