>last thread reached bump limit
ill take the bait

Both games have official art of their characters
Both games have portraits that do not represent the official art
Both games use chibi models to represent the above

So you're going to argue that the game with bland and basic elf girl, notsaber, and anime boys/girls of various unnatural hair colors is not overdone and and peak generic?
>there are multiple levels of abstraction going on with rf4's artstyle
Pray tell what is abstract about character designs like Doug, Kiel, Forte, Xiao, or the 4 guardians which are generic anime characters with "animal" features on them such as animal ears? There's no depth to the design there that isn't reflected in their chibi models, and last I checked phone-game tier designs match the above statement of anime characters with animal ears.

Big fat Nope from me.

How do you beat Ethelberd? He does a move that pretty much one shots me in the second phase and I can barely avoid it. I'm level 110.

Did they fix the weapon/damage or nah? I always ran around with crap weapons on 3DS and the game barely gave me any opportunity to make better stuff but still expected me to have it.

Too busy playing the game to talk about it

Thanks didn't see those.

I'm really glad you can just reset the results of that big fish contest.

I'm guessing we'll soon be burnt out from RF4S within a month or so that there's no point trying to revive /rfg/

It's had constant threads that hit bump limit since Special came out, retard. You also don't have to start a thread with bait to get people talking about it.

even if she lives forever, she'll be all alone and sad when everyone else has died. She might not even have the courage to end her own life even when she's completely miserable and all other life has gone extinct. She'll just keep living on all alone until the world ends. The ultimate hell would be if she somehow escapes the world's apocalypse and just wanders with a self-sufficient spaceship until the heat death of the universe.

I already played this game. I would play it again, but Dolce is the only interesting girl

All I do right now is search rune factory in the catalog and dodge everything else. I'll summarily dodge Yea Forums until RF5 or maybe the next new tales game, but these threads have been nice.

These games and its genre are meant to be comfy so nothing wrong with that.

I remember that in RF2 theres actually a 'deadline' for your rivals marrying their designated girls but even then it takes a very, very long time that you'd have to be sleeping in everyday if you want to get to that point fast. Even then theres at least two(or three?) girls in RF2 who will never be taken.

Pretty sure she's one of the least popular bachelorettes of RF2 to begin with. Everyone else has their fans though I'd assume Cecilia and Yue are the popular ones of RF2

She can shoo away the storm for you

This.

/hmrfg/ can come back when RF5 is out. Maybe.

She's hot.

I'm really glad to see that the switch port has stirred up enough activity to have multiple threads a day for the past few days reach the bump limit. Felt like I was the only one who had played this for quite a while.

Does anyone actually use every field? The game gives you so much farmland that managing all of it would probably take every waking moment of a day.

apple pies every day for clorica

Sometimes I leave empty spaces.

What's there to manage, really? You just water the stuff and check to see if anything's raping the soil before you go about your day.

There's no such thing as "not using" a field, you are merely leaving it strategically empty to harvest wood and stone.
Also get better tools

I focused on raising my cooking level just so I could do that.

I use the appropriate seasonal fields for slow growing plants later in the game, like those elemental flowers and golden veggies but otherwise no. I didn't even really visit them for materials unless I was actively working on something.

What could possibly go wrong?

Autistically running back and forth to use RP to optimize Runey drops when harvesting crops.

Next game needs tits. Also, GRAFFIX.

I could actually see Rune Factory selling millions of copies if they played their cards right. Dating simulation and base building are two of its core elements, and it kinda lets you decide how you're going to progress.

Was it ever mentioned how long have the Guardians been like that?

I would if I could emulate it, instead I'm stuck playing the 3DS version for the first time.

Where's the winter field?

Apparently it can run on the Switch emulator...just not very well

>Base building
???
Does farming count as base building?

I saw it run on a custom emulator build of ryujinx today, but it's not playable at all.

There are long-lived races and Magic Research Centers in RF's world, optional immortality has to be within reach.

It can't. It's 32-bit like other upscaled Switch ports, and emulators don't support that yet.

>It's 32-bit like other upscaled Switch ports

Wait, just what bit sizes are supported normally...?

what are these tits from?

>"I'm going to the dungeon today!"

Ryza if I am not wrong

youtube.com/watch?v=GFzUq0q9xa8

Games that are made natively for the Switch or ported from 64-bit games in other platforms are 64 bit. Games that are originally 32-bit are often kept that way for the Switch because it supports that. But emulators don't, and they don't intend to implement it soon, since so far the only notable examples IIRC are Monter Hunter, Mario Kart 8 and RF4

At least once you get better farming tools, you can reduce the time needed for that and allow you enough time for dungeon delving

Atelier Ryza. Modded, unfortunately. Lyra's body does look like that, but her actual in-game swimsuit is a one-piece that largely covers up her tits. Between that and Ryza's skirt, I don't know what they were thinking.

>literally today
Based. So they are finally getting started with it. I was about to start the 3DS version again.
Wish it were yuzu though, since games are actually playable on that.

Oh I see, as a programmer, my mind blanked for a moment and thought they were using 16 bit or something.

Dolce's marriage quest was great
are the rest of their marriage quests that good

I see. I'm not too good at those sorts of games. They have pretty girls though

Being restrained while she deadens your senses (so your body won't even feel her) and uses your cock as an organic dildo. Because you can't feel anything, you get zero fun time.

Yes.

Wtf are festivals supposed to be this hard? I only won the giant wooly one, can't win any other without savescumming. I'm not even bothering anymore.

Sometimes I feel like I am getting a bit of buyer's remorse when I buy 3DS and Switch to play those exclusives only to find that not only more and more devs are porting the games to other platforms, the emulators for them are actually making breakthroughs...but I guess on the flipside, it will still take years for those emulators to be able to deliver the same quality of gameplay as the platforms they are emulating

She can literally call the weather, nursing is small-time compared to that.

Well, I have not played Ryza but I am pretty sure Atelier is a pretty comfy series in general that you can mostly take your time in though. I say mostly because some do have time limits but they are generally reasonable from what I heard

>due to RF4 Special poor sales performance, Marvelous has decided to put the project on hold until further notice

I'm sorry user.

You shouldn't buy consoles for their exclusives but for their usability.

5 when?
PC when?

Apparently the marriage event is RNG? How do you trigger it? I know you need 10 hearts, a twin bed, and the engagement ring but do you need the ring equipped?

you gift it to her

I misspoke, misread "3rd track is Yue" as "3 tracks about Yue" (see ).

>3rd place: Yue 716 votes
>Reason: 普通の着物と違って短い所が商売人的な、活発な感じがユエらしい。
>好きと言う気持ちに、理由なんて要らないんだーーーー!!!
Someone please decipher this.

Light ore is for some forging shenanigans that isn't really explained in the game. You'll probably want to keep it for later game or even just act 3 of the story.

like, throwing the ring on your cutie makes a dialog window pop up so you can ask her to marry you or how?

The numbered RF games and Frontier are Nintendo exclusive, so never.

>3rd place: Yue 716 votes
>Reason: just look at that deinty little slut, i want to slurp the kneesocks RIGHT of her feet and then go to town on herーーーー!!!

You just give her the ring after clearing the marriage event.
Note that in Clorica's marriage event, proposing to her is a part of the event itself though you can clear it without immediately marrying her if you give her an Apple Pie instead. Xiao Pai's is similar, but her marriage event doesn't require you to have a ring as she proposes first.

dialogue will start when you hand it to her

You can pitch the idea to the devs (I'm still waiting on the glut of questions I sent them over the weekend before giving them more).

Once you meet the requirements the marriage event will just be added to the random town event pool.
Since you have the 10 hearts, bed, and ring, you'll also want to make sure you've seen their miscellaneous prerequisite events. Once you've seen those it should eventually come up. Eventually.

Any differences if you didnt progress LP with her before marrying somebody else?

Wow Forte's was the second event I got. Too bad I'm not marrying her.

I guess wearing a short kimono in the european fantasy world makes you stand out

Damn, it's almost summer in my game and I don't have the pipeline set up to make cash money millions from pineapple juice.

Thank you kindly.

It is, but I endured it because the town, combat, and activities were still good.

There is some female NPC above autumn field that says you can buy the house for some ridiculous amount of money like 198000000 or something

if you save that up, can you really i wonder?

Yes. There's no point other than bragging rights but you can.

>Why do people like this whore again?
She's the least popular

>disrespectful towards her mother
Her mother is kind of a bitch too though. She will only approve her fortune-telling if you marry her.

>>literally scams you on her first request
Well it's kind of funny. She acts like a gold-digging prostitute, but the more she likes you the more she will start throwing money at you, essentially paying back her initial scam.
Basically as she falls for you she pays you to fulfill the prophecies that would confirm that you are the love of her life. Thing is because of her attitude Kyle never believes her when she says she likes him, not even during her first genuine confession.

You can fuck her over completely by marrying someone else, because then it'd mean her initial behavior and trick, her whore facade and cheap "Oh thanks, I love you Kyle, marry me" confessions, her insecurities and roundabout ways to show you her feelings through her prophecies came back to bite her in the ass when you don't love her and marry someone else. Oh yeah she also threw like 1000g at you and all her love prophecies failed.

So there you can make her a bigger cuck than Jake and she will only have herself to blame.

Here's a tip I don't see repeated from the 3DS threads back when RF4 first came out
Save your game when you want to get married, then keep going to bed until the day starts with a random event. Remember which day this was and reload then either sleep or play normally up to the night before the random event was going to happen, then save, sleep, check the random event and reload if it's not the marriage event you're looking for.
I would imagine the same works for getting Act 3 but I don't know what the name of Act 3's starting event is

Can save up that much or can buy the house? Given some user mentioned that RF4 is coded in 32-bit, I do realize that amount is within the highest number the game supports at least.

I am guessing its pointless from a narrative perspective at least since MC is already living in an arrangement fit for a Prince/Princess

to this day i am just mad at the fucking game, because i thought it was just some useless side activity about "haha, sucking up those silly nature spirits with this vacuum"

in reality nothing grew anymore on my land and was so fucked up, that, when i read up how to fix it, it would've taken so much autism and hours to repopulate my town areas with runeys i decided to just hate the game forever

Is it just me or is the game super fucking sensitive when it comes to movement? I'm barely even tilting the stick away from neutral on my pro controller and I'm running full speed

Can we get big titty bachelorettes in 5 please?

You can buy the house. It's just a generic NPC house except you can sleep in the bed. No point since you can always just teleport back to your original house.

I'll give Frontier this compliment regarding the Runey system: when you remember what Lynette in RF1 meant by Raguna being a special Earthmate, the Runey system makes a twisted kind of sense if only he had to deal with it.

how do you mean?

It's very boring.

take a set of mdef gear with you, what did you think, you can just play on highest difficulty in some random meme set?

Can 5 be like Frontier as in ACTUALLY 3D?

The depletion of Runeys is core to the game's plot: they're gathering away from Whale Island (which will eventually make it crash into Trampoli), and the antagonist's scheme is opening a portal and unleashing a sentient construct designed to consume Runeys (which would jeopardize the entire world of RF).

Addendum: basically, by saying "fuck Runeys", you're no different from the Sechs Empire that would give zero fucks about the game for your own fun, and Frontier is punishing you for not taking the ecosystem to heart.

The only hint is "centuries long" according to Lest/Frey's memories.

I'm not fucking min maxing for this crap. That last nigger can stay a goat or whatever he's going to be because I'm done if this is going to be the game's difficulty spike.

Are you getting filtered by the water ruins horse boss?
What the fuck niggy, did you go hell difficulty for your first run or something?

What difficulty are you playing on? Because I don't see how you would have trouble with the last stretch if you managed the first three. Leon Karnak is barely a step up from the mansion because you're supposed to solo it.

No, I beat the horse on the 2nd try as his 2nd fake out got me, I'm talking about place in the mountains where the goblins throw axes that do 1500 of my 800 hp. The place after the mansion.

You shouldn't be interacting with those goblins at all. If you're doing the story event correctly you enter through the door at the base.

So you're telling me the game lied to me? And this is acceptable?

lel kinda same here. Beat Marionette by guzzling 3 gallons of potions until finally learned to dodge like a non-retard. I'll be pissing radioactive green for a whole day.

You went wrong way
But yes, game expects you to spend your time and craft armor and weapons
Also after mansion it goes
>cave in the first forest where you fought butterfly boss
>second boss in water ruins
>Big jump in difficulty because they needed to cover two dungeons
>lava ruins
>forest of beginning(way easier than lava ruins, but no ressurections so you need to do that in one go)
>act2

Pretty sure the game told you to go south of the Water Ruins. Vishnal should fix the bridge there allowing you to proceed to the next area.

Marionette is nothing, it's the fucking goblins that the game lies to you to go kill that are impossible for the time.

Dragon said to go to Leon Karnak. I knew where that was and went there, got one shotted.

>Dragon said to go to Leon Karnak
You can't enter it because there fucking big white gate, so that means you went somewhere else
Also returning to dragon room from square starts actual quest

What the fuck are you saying? How are you going to accuse the game of lying when you can't even read?

You mean the gate I just walked around because it wasn't doing anything? Also what fucking cave? Do you lot mean the one that is one screen over to the west? Because otherwise I have no idea what cave unless its indivisible or something.

Wasn't Mei a complete pain the ass to marry or something? Why would you do that, she's not even cute.

But yeah most likely. I doubt they go with chinese girl again. But there's always been a token eastern girl (Mei, Yue, Sakuya, Uzuki, Mikoto, Xiao), a classic/goth/sweet lolita (Bianca, Julia, Sofia, Selphy, Electra, Dolce) and an elf (Tabatha, Cecilia, Daria, Minerva, Maerwen, Margaret) in every game.

Squrell from dragon room will lead you where needed

You forgot "token De Sainte-Coquille" too, might or might not overlap with the lolita girl.

Yeah, you have to cheat, unless you have multiple copies. She still is cute despite being 100+ years.

Wait. I never thought of this but basically Raguna is the mc of 2 different games.
Does it mean that you literally can marry a girl in the first game, only to marry another one in rff? That's kind of fucked up.

Can you finally fuck the dragon? All the girls aside from her and Lin Fa were so trash in that game.

No

What changes would we all like to see in RF5?

Well, the premise of RFF automatically assumes that Raguna did not marry anyone in RF1 because the plot of RFF cannot happen without that assumption.

I don't even know what you meant by this

Context?

I want it to take place in Sechs and have a more industrial-like attitude.

>magic nazi land
>all the doctors in a concentration camp

after you marry someone you can ask them to call you "Love" but in the JP audio she clearly says Papa

>inb4 Rune Factory dies again because of Coronavirus

Ah right makes sense, now that I think about it Raguna did himself state that he was looking for a "dear" friend so I guess this kind of settles what happened in the previous installment, and what is supposed to happen in the true route if we can call it that way.

This is my fetish.

I'd like them to pace the story better. My only major criticism of RF4 aside from it being low-budget is that the main story likes to set stakes way too high and immediate for what is otherwise a laid-back game where you're encouraged to take things as slow or as fast as you like. Like it's really jarring to have the town invaded by soldiers who leave Ventuswill unconscious on the floor of her throne room, with everyone encouraging Lestfrey to follow them to their secret lab in hot pursuit, only for them to turn around and start talking about the harvest festival tomorrow. The game and the setting are both chill; let things actually be chill in the story.

I'd prefer it if they either set goals with less immediate stakes, or had some sort of non-restrictive time gate. Like they could say "It'll take us a week to find the location of the Sechs base, why don't you take that time to prepare?" and you could either wait it out or go exploring and find it right away.

I mean, which character and which game?

Game literally had biggest budget in history of series and it shows with amount content you can do
Literally impossible to return to previous ones because they feel barren and soulless in compassion with only thing to do is romancing waifus

Tits only don't make a good wife.

>Yes, I married Margaret, how did you know?

Attached: 1558240305394.jpg (1068x601, 65K)

Yeah but it was still clearly made on a very restricted budget. A big part of the reason RF4 was so huge was that it cannibalized tons of assets from the previous games. It wouldn't surprise me if there were less than 100 completely original 3D models in the game.

I'm gonna be a madman and go with Margaret.

>Literally impossible to return to previous ones
I disagree a bit, I prefer the slowest, more punishing combat of the 2 and frontier over the new generation.
I wouldn't say that the old ones are that barren, and definitely not soulless, they are just slower paced. The new ones just have you running all over the place non-stop to keep you busy.

He and Mist probably just left Kardia's farm to Lynette since she exiled herself there instead of committing sudoku for Ethelberd. Lets her build trust with the town, plus her military background makes her an ideal guard.

Sechs needs better recruiting standards, their soldiers are dumb as bricks.

Does house expansion make your house feel like an actual house instead of some weird cold side room that just happens to have a bed?

Absolutely not. Enjoy your new closet space.

is there any endgame after act3?

Yes, the high level dungeon. You need like 5000 prince points to unlock it. But no more story content.

you mean sharaze maze?

Unpopular opinion, but I want them to find a middle ground between the RNG shit and the bulletin board instead of getting rid of the randomness entirely. I like that events just sort of happen naturally even though it can be frustrating sometimes. Having the bulletin board in previous games just made the town and character progression feel robotic. The devs are probably well aware of the all the complaints about the RNG, I just really hope they don't over-correct it and make it entirely controlled by the player. It would make the town feel dead in a lot of ways.

Ethelberd keeps ordering the incompetent to sudoku, any talent his military gets is always on a razor's edge and only gets one lesson from failure (the death penalty).

No, unless you want to support the developers.

Nah

Already played it to death on my 3DS.
Still too busy drooling over inkling bare feet on my Switch, so I doubt I'll by playing my copy anytime soon.

Nah that's what I want too. The intention behind RNG events is great but the implementation is just kind of annoying.
I figure the easiest solution is to just put a cap on how long an event can wait before it's activated. As in, if you met the requirements for a marriage event or something, it is garaunteed to come up within three months or so.

Is there a need to grow multiple dungeons or one is enough?

How do you grow dungeons by the way?

It’s not vaporware if it’s barely been a year, have some patience zoomy.

Don't tell them that they already had plans for 5 by the time 4 was released.

RF5 proper probably didn't start shortly before they actually announced even if they mentioned it as footnotes in interviews half a decade ago because they were clearly working on other shit like Lord of Magna and SoS instead.

I hope 5 has some monster girls.

There's a cave called Demon's Den south of Sercerenzo Hill that's only accessible during the first 5 days of each season. The boss drops Dungeon Seeds.

What do I need to do to level crops above level 5? So far I've just been planting and using the sickle, but after they hit level 5 they don't go any higher.

Don't have a switch, will play when it comes to Steam like others Marvelous games.

Is it out on pc or i have to emulate it?

I am interested in making first person perspective farming games. I wonder if it will be good enough to attract cute girls and dumb adults.

Wait, is it come out in Europe already? Or are you talking about NA version?

Probably will come to Steam in a few months.

It's out in the EU.

Doubt

>Oh no, it's contagious

To answer you question, it's not likely to come to PC, but it might.
This is why Stardew Valley blew up in popularity despite being mediocre tumblrcore shlock. Because the good farm/life sims aren't on PC

There were no real comfy farm/life sim games on PC and even now the only two I know of are SV and My time at portia.

Gotcha, Thank you Kindly

I don't even know, man. I loved RF4, which only makes me want that RF5 takes longer to beat than 4, even though it feels greedy because 4 is already kinda long with all that postgame content.
Besides that, maybe make specific AIs for all/most NPCs that can accompany you.
OK, scratch that, now I know, another child

improve the party AI/customization assuming they keep to letting you bring people with you id like to be able to give them skills/spells provided theyre able to use the weapon/spell type.

Sides that just the usual hope they make after-marriage stuff more fleshed out, make the kid matter etc. but thats been something ive hoped for since HM

Why would it not come to PC? I mean it's not a Nintendo first party.

Damn, okay. I guess I need to take a few days off my regularly scheduled grinding to upgrade my tools.

Can I customise my character in this game and select a name or will it look like the blonde doofus?

if you dont mind losing a few days, just sleep scum a week or two with margaret in your party, reset and repeat if no luck

Yup, that's the plan, that's how I duped Forte's event in the original.

Is confessing your love for a girl random for each day or can I keep resetting until she accepts?

Needs a line to Pico that reads onahole.

Are there any games that come close to RF4? Is Trio of Towns any good?

Does villager friendship decrease if you don't talk to them every day?

SoS1 is rather unfinished and has some weird design choices. SoS Trio is much, much better, and has a lot more daily dialogue, and the DLC expansion added a ton more daily dialogue and new events (it's a free expansion for JP, XSEED charges for it because xsneed and xfeed)

Same but with Margaret

Oh man user, how did you manage the event procs? Single event girls already drove me insane.

ToT has more life to it but to answer your question, not really anything that matches RF4 far as im aware

You still cant marry Venti right?

I dunno about him but I never had any issue getting Meg's events to happen. Maybe she has a boosted chance or something.

Would make sense considering she's the canon wife.

Dialogue wise quantity even others rf games can't match 4

I used the reset trick. Took me about 2 in game weeks to get them all

The dragon is only in a downloadable story. There is also a newlywed mode, dual audio, and they removed the RNG to start act 3.

What's that do?

I seached "rune" and got zero so i thought there wasn't a thread. You only got yourself to blame

I'll try to do this once I actually start the game. I've restarted this game so many times over the years on 3DS but never once finished it, in part because my min/max autism compelled me to do the most I can do in the least amount of time. This makes this comfy game really hectic and saps away the fun. But for my brain, fun can also come from being as efficient as possible but I don't wanna do this again in the Switch version. I've not started teh game yet because of me not being sure how to tackle this game a 4th time around

That blows. ToT until RF5 it is, then. Thanks.

I haven't gotten to it yet but apparently it's a side story with some gameplay to it

to be fair given how low the series sold before and how it literally killed the development company, buying the switch version helps shows there's interest and increases the chances of RF5 being a thing

unironically it's the same for me. I've only got a Switch last november. My main draws to the console were rune factory 4 remake, rf5 and hopefully some etrian odyssey in the future. i've had great fun with the console until the rf4s drop with fire emblem three houses, but I didn't even touch the other "must have" nintendo games yet. oh, I borrowed botw from a friend but it fucking sucks, so that's that

Iheard that plant weapons is RNG and that some of them can have Mjolnir stats. Is that true?

When will Rune Factory have a mandatory a bit edgy kind of storyline?

When I first got the game on 3ds, I got it used, so it had the prince power to kill typhoons from the start of the game. When does the first typhoon hit, I want my anus to be ready.

Once you get a rainbow waterpot it takes maybe an hour in game to water all 3 fields.

4's main storyline is quite dramatic, and i prefer to left that as is, at that level. its still a chill game, some tragic background that leads to redemption/healing is nice
plenty of Nips games/VNs fall into the edge/drama trap where you just chill in the 1st half, and it goes full tragedy in the later half. its nice once in a while ie Keyshits, but i dont really want it in a comfy lifesim

Yeah did on the 3ds. It's not worth anything though, literally useless

What's the best weapon to roll with on hell difficulty? I'm at the Yokmir cave with an ice staff, but everything is killing me. I'm not sure where to get stuff better than bronze at this point to upgrade my armor, too.

any weapon can work, but staves can get incredibly busted once you get good upgrade materials and gloves/dual blades can rack up dmg pretty quick

>Amber becomes a traveling flower salesman, but has grown into a big tity milf now just to shit on lolicons
Could be funny.

I like the dual blades to try and juggle enemies but I'll use other ones if the attack is good.
Personally I like using uppercut to launch an enemy in the air and try to juggle them with dual blades.

toward the end long ranged (staff) and speedy weapons (fist, dual blade) are prefered, since you really want to be constantly on the move
staff can be outright busted too with good material

Gaius is cool.

>comes at the very end of the game where theres nothing left to do.
And RF games need to stop doing this

>The last known earthmate wants to fuck a fucking dragon
There 5 earthmates in rf4
And one dragon priest came back

to be fair farming games always reach that point in one way or another

So is RF5 going to feature the hidden 5th light/dark native dragon?

Yeah but Lest/Frey are the youngest and "newest"
Others, it's Kyle and Raguna but they're getting old now, as well as Kyle's kid. Then there's Aden and Ivan but they're useless and now also old faggots.

That's why I hope RF5 will have more high-end customization. Customize your house, your town, whatever. Because I think that's the only thing that can keep people engaged with a singleplayer game for the long haul.

It's gonna take place a 1000 years later after all of humanity went to shit due dragons and runeys dying left and right. It's gonna be a post apocalyptic setting where you try to revive the planet ala Terranigma.

It's not like Pico is attached at the hip to Dolce. She's just choosing to always stay next to her.

Those fights were cute. I also liked the whole island raising mechanic.

Get it, it's an actual game and not indie shit. The kind that you can be playing for months and months.

He's just going by the manga. It's strictly its own thing.

During the Moving Signpost event, Dolce says that Pico will disappear forever if she gets too far away from her.

Let's not forget the eastern island whee Shino, Mei, Lin Fa and other not-Asia people came from was entirely destroyed by a chimera according to Mei in RF1

well since Marvelous is interested in pc now, and the Doraemon SoS did get a pc port, RF pc port is quite a possibility
i dont really mind. the devs need their recognition, and i still would just play these games on a handheld console anyway

Is there much new dialogue? That's the only thing keeping me from replaying the 3ds. I don't care much for newlyweds stories. Hell would be nice though but i could live without. Only thing i care is if characters are more developed/much more lines spoken

I was thinking about buying it since it'll be my birthday soon but I really don't want to pay 40 bucks for an 8 year old 3DS game.

You kinda can if you use the extra order to swap to the femc. Game still treats you as if you're male though.

>Eventually.
Ain't no one got time for that shit. Always save before sleeping if there's no event going on. If the next day you trigger a town event, reload to last night, call your waifu to follow you and sleep. If she doesn't leave, it's not an event that involves her so reset until it does. If its for the marriage event, your should already at 10 hearts. Characters with 7+hearts stick with your party even if you sleep. If you don't have 7+ then you go to your waifu and see if it's the event. If you can't find a event day playing normally just make your waifu follow you and sleep multiple days until she leaves. Remember that day, then play normally until the day before said day. Soft reset till you get the event. RF4's event system is horseshit and No one should wait 9+ years to marry someone waiting for a goddamned event.

Yeah.
Dolce (old as fuck, so probably has at least a double digit number of partners),
Margaret (1000 year old elf, nuff said),
Xiao (Probably slipped and fell right onto a dildo by accident more than once)
Amber (bugs fuck all the time)
Forte (probably "experimented" with her brother during youth)

Tons of people just use portrait swaps anyways. I'd rather not have this series die by lack of sales and the only real issue I can see happening is some of you jokers posting awful western fanart here.

If they don't want to port the game I'll just pirate through emulation. They shouldn't expect me to buy a switch just to play the game.

But i like stardew valley and i love RF.
Stop pretending there's no overlap between farm sim fans. It's like you want to kill RF again by gatekeeping it from customers.

Clorica has probably been gangbanged in her sleep multiple times too, every girl is a slut

the bath house is hinted to be a brothel

Dolce was spending most of those years as Marionetta though?

Rune Factory feels like it belongs on Android. The artstyle is not something you see in typicals jrpgs

Still, Xiao Pai and Amber are probably the purest.

>But i like stardew valley and i love RF.
Yeah, same here. There are people who call SW westernshit and other people who call RF weebshit, but a fuckton of people are fine with both games and with both styles.

is there any type of pet that can act as a tank or attracts more attacks or something?

stardew is just the soi liberal version it not as good

Bring a villager along.

Yeah that's Forte.

>I'd rather not have this series die by lack of sales
It made it this far hasn't it?

>I'll only ever own a PC
Then you were never a concern to begin with.

>Stop pretending there's no overlap
Of course overlap exists, I just think Stardew is fucking bottom barrel awful and trying to make any other farm-sim game more like it would be to the detriment of that game.
>It's like you want to kill RF again
Just because something isn't selling millions of copies doesn't mean it's dead.
The people who like Runefactory for what it is will buy it
The people who don't, won't. Simple as.

>but a fuckton of people are fine with both games and with both styles.
Your view is skewed because you're okay with the style. Stardew Valley has a very divisive aesthetic. Even many pixel art fans I know hate the art direction. In regards to people who would actually buy and play the games, sure tons are okay with both, but there are tons of people who hate the aesthetic of the other.

its fine just mediocre, never touches the heights of either the best RF or HM games

>It made it this far hasn't it?
Yeah after the company fucking died.

I haven't bought a console since the SNES times.

>Yeah after the company fucking died.
Have you thought about why exactly it died?

my only concern about this game going mainstream is that they will have to dial down the lewd but funn dialogues, and this game is chock full of it. imagine the Pico's *stare creepily* scene
but part of me still want this series to be more recognized. the devs deserve it
such a dilemma

Any tips for the Big Catch festival?
Besides delaying bringing Dylas home, obviously. I waited until after the first fishing festival to get him, and I'm sure he's going to fucking destroy me here.

Go for tuna

The people who play up to that point aren't the sjws. Lots of normalfags chuckle at stuff like that.
I know two girls whom i consider pretty much normalfags and they both love rune factory.

Eh, some parts are played up and others toned down. All in all the localization isn't that faithful and the game could some actually lewd moments.

>catch something that is 100+
>save near results time
>keep resetting until you win

A 80-90cm fish is enough, just save before the deadline and savescum until the RNG lets you win.

No, it's all of them.

I think the series is currently in a fine place. RF4 has over 150k sales in Japan, over 200k in NA, and who knows how many more in other regions. Most niche games do not sell this well, and breaking into mainstream would only result in more special snowflakes crying about not being pandered to, or getting butthurt about some dialogue.

Any good examples of something that was toned down for the localization?

I can't really recall, but your nicknames being changed was mentioned.

Serious question. Is the story or any of the characters good or interesting? I can stomach subpar gameplay as long there is something interesting to keep my attention.

It's really not a story or character drivin game. The waifus are nice and the story exists I guess but the main draw of the game is farming/crafting/dungeon crawling.

Holy fucking BASED
How badly do you have to fail for that?

Because japs don't give 2 shits about pc gaming.

Any hot tips for shit I should absolutely do or absolutely not do? I don't really care about being 100% optimal, but I don't want to be boned because of something I did early in the game.

this game is pretty easy going bro, its a farm game lol

Then I'll pirate the game. If these retards don't want to support a real platform they won't get my money.

Don't plant high level seeds, sell them.
Get your bread and talk to the townspeople every day.
These are the two big things I remember messing up early on back when I played this game on the 3DS.

I got that, but for some reason I feel these games can be pretty dicky in you requiring some item you could've sold or some shit.
>Don't plant high level seeds, sell them.
Wait, what? That's stupid.

We get it, you're looking to justify your excuse to pirate. Just pirate the game and shut up already

>Amber actually spins around to greet you
holy fuck i never saw it on the blurry ass 3ds screen. cute as shit

if an item has "unshipped" in its description, that means selling it unlocks it in the store (which could be something you get later through an order)

the dude talking about seeds just means a similar thing, shipping the seeds makes it so you can buy that level

Don't they upgrade the shop when you do that? Or was that the harvested item itself?

Didn't they change it to where you need to sell the crop now

Horde withered grass, and throw regular green weeds into the fertilizer bin. Withered grass is scarce and useful.

Instead of farming every bit of open land you got, rotate what sections you're planting on to give them time to rest.

Use the scythe to get higher level seeds instead of harvesting, but be aware that there is a level cap based on the scythe you use. If you get a high level crop as a gift/reward/loot, SELL IT and you can buy seeds for that crop at that level.

Get chickens and cows ASAP for eggs and milk. Make omelets. Open up your shop. Make 20,000g+ on festival days.

its kind of a weird progression system, but yeah, selling high level seeds you made will increase the seeds' level they sell. just magnifying glass them, and sickle only the ones thats higher level than the current

Oh, so just sell it once. That does make sense then I guess. Thanks.

i believe its either or

oh one thing i guess that's kinda lame is that notice board out front will give you quests you can't actually complete at current progression level. stuff like dungeon seeds can't be gotten until the spring area

>* Ship out at least 11 farm-produced items total
>* Plant at least 101 crops total
>* Have 500 affection or more with at least one girl

>Either you do those 3 things or you get married.
Just for reference
>Talk to Bachelorette +200
You have to actively try to get kicked out.

Withered grass is easy to get, just plant a bunch of turnips and leave them unwatered.

Keep an eye on the request box, you'll unlock some nice shit from it. Accepting a request stops you from accepting other requests
(you can only do so many in a day) so personally I find it a good idea to only accept some of the requests, like harvesting shit once I know I can instantly complete it or have already met the conditions.
I see no point in stopping myself from being able to say go kill some enemies a a request while my crops are growing.

She has cute mannerisms. I like how she advertises her shop despite no one being inside to actually manage it.
