My copy of 3S for the Switch just arrived in the mail. I thought it was a used copy they resealed because it was so cheap, but it is actually new and has a tiny, decently long manual inside. Fucking cute.

She's either wanting to get Rin's permission, or to have a confession right in front of Rin to show her it's real, isn't she?

Playing RF5 after playing RFGOA has been... a treat I guess. The characters are a massive downgrade in general and the gameplay, while I like some aspects, is just much more stiff. But what really fucks me up is that there's actual time progression in RF5 while RFGOA genuinely feels SO SLOW. It's so weird. Maybe it's because you spend less time doing daily chores? Like I cannot peg why and it just feels like both the story pacing is too fast and the days go by too slow to the point where half the time to reach a certain date you have to use the bed anyway.

>>713558104

>>713553526
same lol

OK but why are all the people who marry Pilika Kaguyas

>>713556398
You can stay up longer in goa without replenishing rp, so the world clock has to reflect that. Plus, socializing with just half the characters will probably force you to go to evening immediately.

>>713553834
>The answer was even dumber than I expected
>Rin got mad and made her answer properly
Cute

>>713556398
I think the clock in 5 is the same speed as GoA's, maybe even a tiny bit slower actually. It's probably just that it's faster to do chores in GoA and it has a much better fast travel system than 5 so you aren't wasting as much time moving around. Movement speed in 5 is really slow at that and the village is unnecessarily big, so doing your villager rounds in 5 takes way longer. Altogether you're spending way more time in 5 doing basic stuff compared to GoA.

>game forces me to stand up ulalaka
Welp looks like my last manual save was 2 hours ago

>>713556398
I dunno, one of my points against RF5 was how fucking SLOW the clock was. Like if you had something to do at night then you may as well put down the controller for the next 15 minutes because the clock is obnoxiously slow. Especially if you woke up and needed something from a store, you'll certainly be waiting.
I don't feel the clock movement much in GoA since lacking NPC schedules there's not much to wait around for, and when there is, you can skip to noon/evening from your bed.
The ideal compromise would be to just adjust the time scale to be more reasonable like the other games though

>>713562547

Godhood is the only way subaru will endure ulalaka's nightly attacks...

>>713563446
Even worse, it was for a story quest that involved her

>>713563206
The only time I really felt that was when I had to wait for that bitch at midnight. And I dunno, maybe it's because crafting is more relied on here that I at least could just waste time go farming materials because it's not hand fed to me through the game either. And shit like thread and what-not takes far longer to farm because it doesn't drop like candy and it's actually used for stuff frequently.

Like half the mats in GOA seem to not fucking matter outside of turn-ins.

On Switch 2 the game is still at 1.0.3, is that before the Pilika bug was fixed?

Finally got the last recipe I needed. The basic shrine being in the post-game dungeon is a fucking retarded decision.
>>713571920
Invert those straw walls and you should be able to line them up.

>>713572039
If you can use the bow and arrow with the fire sword to harvest seeds, then the pilika bug is not fixed.

>>713572064
It "works" but theres still a gap, and worse because everything is shifted inward by 1 tile it throws the measurements off with the tiny island I put them on. Secondarily if I move them OUT by 1 tile instead, I get cockblocked by the egregiously large corners that cliffs take up. I guess I should shift the entire build down by one tile but its still not ideal either way.

>>713572175
Oh crap, thanks. I just finished the quest before you confess and didn't want to have to pick someone else before Pilika.

>>713572423
Technically you can do the confession, you just can't do the first date.

>>713571717
I already had that from friday. I know because i tried the fire bow harvest trick and it didn't work. But steam updated the game today again.

>>713572276
I don't think there's any type of wall that actually does that. God help if you if you're planning on using the wooden gate with it.
My advice? Do the opposite and surround it with 2-layer hill to make a natural rock wall like so.
Obviously not ideal for space, but miteBzen

>>713572797
> God help if you if you're planning on using the wooden gate with it.
How the fuck did they not add a wall that matches the gate...................

>>713572697
Strange, considering there was no patch notes.

Usually if theres a tall girl in games she gets the stalwart personality or leans too much on oneetype for my taste.
Ludmilla really is big & bright, in both body and her lovelove for you.
And you'll never be bored with her given she can come up with 8 different kinks to try out each day.

I'm far enough into the story now that everyone's available again after the black dragon fight. Am I safe for the fireworks festival?

I'm not into necrophilia

>>713572827
They DID. They just make it work for manual adjustment, like with the fucking dev kit. It looks great outside of Cuilang's place.
The more you fuck with village building, the more bits and pieces you'll start to notice. Whoever was slapping this and the main game together were not particularly coordinated at all, if even on the same team. It's more scraps tossed into a pile for a couple people to make some nice arts and crafts with. For example, the Large Wooden Fence is a recipe you can learn which is a comedically oversized version of the normal Wooden Fence that's used on the barn models. But that normal sized wooden fence isn't a recipe you can unlock. Small stuff like that makes you wonder how much oversight these teams even had.

What do they do here

>>713573448
Wouldn't surprise me if the whole decoration system was a late addition to the game

>>713573106
she's too cringe desu

How would you rate the romances in GOA in the abstract of the entire series?

It's where all the dev attention went.
But seriously, was surprised by how nice they were.

>>713573981
I like the interaction and dialogue of this one, and the weeb aesthetic, but the earlier game's dates were cooler.
Also kinda fun to take my wife and kids out into the field to kill shit.

>>713573884
That's partially why I'm trying to make it work. To see if there's really something worth keeping for the series.
That and my crippling addiction to town design. Minecraft, Terraria, Elin, Dorf Fort, fuck it SS13, you let me build and I shall build. Of all of those, Elin has eaten the most hours in building.

>>713573272

>>713574249
It's a shit system because it promotes playing tetris with the decorations/buildings. If they want to give you stats for building shit, it should really only be from a few main buildings that you can upgrade to gain more stats. The areas for buildings and farms should also be separated so it doesn't feel like you are losing out on farming or building area for the sake of the other

>>713574249
A fellow elinbro...
My only issue with Elin is the crafting stations being so vital so every build eventually centers around it in some way unless you just have a super huge map. I like my tiny squares.

>>713573981
It doesn't quite compete with Rune Factory 4's sheer amount of dialogue variety, but it's far, far better than 5 and the types of heroines that are in the game are quite good and also different from standard RF fare. Like, in any other RF, Ulalaka would have been those want can't haves that everyone complains about.

>>713549691 (OP)
sigh... white women...

My bride, Dolce.

>>713574889
Most of my maps don't have all the stations. I'll cut down a few trees to start the basic stations and might not even leave those. For the rest, I just carry around a paper tent with the ones I need. Also medium maps are best for comfy building, but full-sized is a challenge in its own right.

>>713575301

okay probably my last ever post about RF5 until I beat it but I'm actually terrified Ludmilla's gonna rape me

>>713574767
You'd be somewhat correct if any of that actually mattered. Do you want farmland? Make that. Wanna mix it? Go ahead. Don't care about farms? Just slap shit down. The stat bonuses make sweet FA for difference until post-underworld and even then it's only a few small items that don't take up a whole lot of space.

>>713575598
This, eventually you get such stat bloated furniture that it btfo's the previous 50 hours of furniture combined to the point you don't even need multiple land plots anymore.

>>713574249
The series already had decorating and it was even shittier than this one. It is actually impossible to align anything in RF4. This one is good enough for decorating a room.

>>713575598
It still promotes slapping every stat boost decoration down and the best way to fix that is to limit it to only a few decorations. For example maybe you could have only one decoration active that gives STR so as you get better ones you can remove the old ones

>>713575785
>This one is good enough for decorating a room.
Yeah except there's no room to decorate...
>>713575915
Your personal inability to not litter an open tile with every worthless piece of +5 Sperm Count furniture doesn't make it a bad system because even if it did have that limit, you'd just fucking whine about it punishing it instead. Place what you want, ignore what you don't. The game is ezpz anyway.

>>713575354
Don't think I have that one. Thanks.

>>713576047
I was responding to
>To see if there's really something worth keeping for the series.
And the answer is yes, there is because decorating in the previous games were even worse.

Toaster bros, how does this game runs on your ancient PC?

I'm just pointing out that it is objectively a bad system, that's all

Has anyone tested Mauro's Adventurer Cap on everyone? Does having Rare Drop+ on each character stack?

>>713576278
Nevermind stacking, i'm not sure if it works AT ALL on party members. It's such an inconsistent thing to test.
>Does it work just by having them equipped
>Do they have to tag the mob at all
>Do they have to score the kill
>Does it do anything at all

>>713576278
what fucking rare drops though
like what the actual fuck constitutes a rare drop

Ah, that's why all the Kaguya players pick Clarice. She's literally the yuri bait character.

Wait this game is actually good after the shitshow that was 5?

>>713576449
Boss items I'd presume.
In 5 you had a button/skill to trap and steal their items so you could do cheesy shit like steal from bosses without killing. Something you'd want to do because killing bosses is limited to one a day, and TP & reset the fight to steal again.
But I havent heard anyone talking about needing to grind mats for in Guardians so maybe its not even a big deal anyway.

>>713576945
Hard carried by its characters. The rest of the game isn't particularly good

>>713576945
After 5? Yes.
It's still a spinoff so its not comparable to the mainline games, but it is inspiring some confidence.

>>713576945
It feels like a good step in the right direction. And yeah the romance options are quite good this time around

>>713576945
they haven't learned much besides a lot of QoL in the gameplay department, so the writing has to carry the rest of it, and most people seem to agree the writing carries, even if not to 4's level

>>713576949
You really, really, really don't have to grind for mats in Azuma. A lot of the mats are only used for turnins, the main stuff that you would need to make weapons or gear is literally gotten for free without actually needing to do anything unless you're at actual end game where you need to smack around rocks for dragonic stones or fighting Subaru/Kaguya once a day for Dragon scales, for weapons. Not sure for gear but gear is also a fucking nothingburger. Like you have 0 incentive to actually upgrade anything outside of getting new gear once in a while to do a little more damage that you shouldn't even be bothering with because the god weapons are fucking broken beyond reason and RP stops mattering like 6 hours into the game.

I've been playing the older RFs and it's like night and fucking day with how easy shit drops in Guardians compared to them, and 90% of the mats are just useless. I was selling mats at the beginning of the game because they were that unnecessary and the only reason why I didn't continue doing so was b cause I got lazy.

>>713573184
A late answer but yes

I think the onigiri song is really cute in japanese, not about to see how bad it sounds in english.

Didn't know they added me to the game.

Finally got my little summer town square put together.
>>713578504
It's worse than you could possibly imagine.

Oh wow, so judging by Hina's comments around the ending, it looks like the current Warden for SEED really is Ares/Alice. Apparently, the promotion process in SEED is as simple as literally killing your boss and taking their job lmao.

>>713578504
Really wish we saw the Onigiri gremlins. Could've been used to actually create a cute monster girl mob in the game as per series standard, but no, take you'll take your fourth Oni recolor and you'll fucking like it.

What's up with the lv80+ buffamoo board quests though. There are literally none anywhere except the post-game. Did they forget to add them in or something.

>>713578671
Scarlett you fucking jobber

>>713576945
I'd argue part of the positive reception the game has gotten owes in part to following up that dumpster fire game. Spinoff or not, fun cast of characters or not, if this game had come after a better mainline RF game people would have been a lot harsher on all the corners it cut

>>713579171
A lot of people were pretty harsh on this game when it first came out because they didn't pay attention and realize that this game was Oceans 2 (but way better)

>>713576945
depends on what you want.
I'm having fun with it/10, but it could still use some more traditional rune factory crafting autism.

>>713579171
I just hope they dont ditch the 2d portraits in favor of full 3d like this game for RF6.
My main problem with GoA is how while every romance option have a fuckton of lines that I would like read, it kills my mood seeing the exact same recycled animations play every single time.
The massive amount of text everyone has was one of the things I liked especially with 4.
Its just oddly more noticeable how little is actually going on when seeing the awkward clapping and smile for 3 seconds for every interaction than a still image changing pngs every few clicks.

>>713579171
Yeah, I was honestly surprised by how much the threads praised it since it's a bit off. I'd say it's good and I like it, but frankly it's even worse in life sim aspects than 5, and of course the farming and crafting is nothing to speak of. Really banks on the town building and characters themselves, which granted, are fun, even if I would have adjusted a few things.

>>713579781
>it's ok when it's the same recycled 6 PNGs
>but oh no the animations are reused so it's bad
?

>>713578671
It's literally been a decade man, I would fucking hope that nigger got a promotion

>>713579843
Some of them hang on awkwardly. Especially gifting and contests.

>>713580080
Then I'd say improve on it. Going back to 2D portraits is silly, and the argument that it's recycled when that's all the 2D portraits are is extra silly.

>>713579781
>it kills my mood seeing the exact same recycled animations play every single time.
>but seeing the exact same jpg every time is ok

>>713579843
>>713580203
>>713580224
Not him, but unironically yes.

If a medium uses character portraits, then there's an acceptable disconnect that happens that lets one's own imagination fill in the blanks. The portraits are more of a representation of the character rather than the character themselves.
If the medium uses the exact same repeating animation for the same models while talking, then that acceptable disconnect is harder to achieve. It then becomes more jarring since you only see the character as fucking robots repeating the exact same stiff animations. It's a type of uncanny valley effect.

>>713580285
I feel like I've played way too many videogames that have done this to let it bother me. Even fucking Persona reuses animation so it just completely goes over my head.

>>713580709
She should've immediately shot woolby

>>713573272

>>713580709
This normal human girl is too powerful

>>713580285
Animated portraits with little animation loops are also more frequently used these days, and for anime artstyles, they work much better for it. It's far easier to express uniqueness and little character quirks in 2D still.
For a lot of 3D stuff, it's still largely an end to be lazy. You can every easily see how much reused animations are shared between all characters. Makes them all less unique and if you're particularly autistic, seeing a bunch of characters move the exact same way while talking is one of those things that will bother you to no end.

RF could easily do the animated portraits route or actually make unique animations for each character model if they're sticking to strictly 3D, but we all know it probably fucking won't because this series has the budget of a shoestring and a rotten potato.

>>713579781
They could've also used some "animation blending" (don't know the real term) so the characters don't instantly snap from idle to pose to idle

You'll get to marry her as a young woman in the next game. Then she will tell you, that her older sister also married an Earthmate.
TOTAL IROHA VICTORY!

Kinda figured becoming a God would be more of a fanciful affair. Like an actual transformative cutscene, maybe meeting up with the characters after-wards. Instead it's relegated down to just being a new topic they can mention when you chat to them. Not REALLY complaining but after ten floors of bs I was hoping for a teensy bit more. All in all good game though. Looking forward to the next RF.

>>713580843
They could use Live 2D to animate the portraits for breathing patterns, but I don't think it's necessary.
The first 4 games HAD to use portraits for expression due to the top-down perspective being unable to showcase the chibi models. Same goes for any visual novel/gacha dialogue format where they plaster the portraits on a background that are facing the player.
RF5 started the shift to 3rd person perspective, but the pauses on each animation with a gray background for a bit. The models don't even mouthflap, the portraits do.
https://youtu.be/bf3nmLJZVOg?t=404
Azuma would either let you freely rotate the camera so you could view each facial expression, or its better cutscene direction would shift constantly to focus on each change. A few in particular I liked was Kurama's bonding event where Kai's model is sent flying into the sky, Fubuki's where you're hit with a snowball and then faceplanting the next frame, and Clarice in the ending where she's gushing over Woolies with Woolby in the background.

The artist for Azuma is some literally-who Atsushi Igarashi from HYDE Inc. who's only doing support artwork for RF5 and Digimon Survive, and I think the drafted character designs translated seamlessly into the models.
If we go back to Minako Iwasaki portraits, as series tradition, some intern's gonna fuck the coloring and line thickness again.

I don't know what the fuck Iwasaki was thinking with Lest though. That's literally just a woman. The adapted artstyle actually makes him look more manly, but even then he's still in twink territory.

>>713583810
*Ares and Raguna

>Kurama proceeds to dab on Kai in Street Fighter for several days and then calls him a scrub

>>713583807
>And that's not even considering how shitty I feel for basically breakiny Kaguya's heart by getting with either one
Man I'm doing Kaguya's friendship quest right now and both Murasame and Moko are shipping (you) and Kaguya.

>>713583810
NTA but they all look like twinks to me. Only the first one and last one look half-way masculine and even in that case they look like they're ten.

Caring about Hina is really hard. Her personality isn't that charming, her lines are all references to a prior game (and they don't seem like very deep references) and her pink design is mogged by Lala. Genuinely don't think I'd miss her or Mauro if they weren't in the game.

>>713584656
consider the following:
fluffy tail

>>713584723
I'd genuinely be more interested if that was the character trait they decided to hyper-fixate on. Her turning into a fox for a boss fight was basically her stand-out moment for me in this game. But yes it is a very nice tail.

>>713584656
Yeah, I'm guessing she's... brash and curious? Too much of her screentime is "remember RF5?"

>>713584723
Big fluffy tail.

I (male) love my sexbot robo-wife (male)!

Please like Hina.

I'd like Hina more if she was more like her bratty and brash younger self.
I dunno, make her more gung-ho about being a loose cannon rune cop. There's a bunch of funny shenanigans they could've gotten up to with the SEED hula hoop they're not capitalizing on.

>>713584887
Pretty much. I honestly don't even dislike her, she's just such a moot point that I'm genuinely apathetic. Nothing to hate, but nothing to really love either. The epitome of 'eh'. I'll give her that she did have a boss fight though, which is more than Mauro ever contributed.

Hina is for facesitting in sandy ruins

Personally I'd cut Hina, Mauro and Ikaruga- And use the money that went into them to make Tsubame, Kachiyo and Hound romanceable. Pretty sure both genders would be happy with that even if it's a uneven flip.

>>713584995
>Those Ulalaka pits...
Little Hina was cute and I was also aiming for her when I saw that she's one of the bachelorettes but after I saw her bonds, I had to think twice. She's always comparing Subaru or Kaguya to Ares and even after dating, she never told them about her "Hero" leading to them overthinking things.

>>713549838
Look at how fucking flat she is, goddamn that's hot.

>Ulalaka is constantly warning you about betraying her trust, and wanting you to love her most
Why is she so possessive...

I kinda admire Dolcefag's dedication.
I should start Yue posting, but she doesn't have that much art of her.

>>713585856
Prior partner cheated on her and she never got over it.

Not you too!

>>713585856
Big cowtits whore is projecting hard

>>713585909

I'm going through the astral shrines and every flashback is pushing me towards Kaguya. She deserves a win.

>Beat the exile giga-god
>Beat all six gods in a 1v6 with one move
>Forced us to retreat twice before we got one win in at the end

For being the most Japanese game in the series, it sure is making the single German woman look better than everyone else.

>>713585909
I did some Colletes when RF3 released but I got tired after a while. I admire his dedication of doing it in every thread lol

>>713586559
She was really angry and German

How so?

>>713588530
It's not a life sim when I can go to a carpenter at 10 at night to build a tanuki statue
It's not a life sim when stores are pretty much open all day every day
It's not a life sim when people don't have their own schedules and just walk around aimlessly
It's not a life sim when half these niggas don't even have a real job and just do nothing all day

Nekomata pussy.

>>713588721
For me.

>>713588670
Yeah the thing I miss most from RF4 is the schedules. It was nice to just randomly run across my bros and hos just randomly doing shit instead of just awkwardly twiddling their thumbs

Ikaruga would've been a more interesting bachelor if he actually still acted somewhat like the brash asshole he was before he formally became a village NPC.

I actually dislike how all the bachelors/bachelorettes are way too deep in the heckin wholesome hole.

>>713590170
>I actually dislike how all the bachelors/bachelorettes are way too deep in the heckin wholesome hole.
This is why we need Hound as a bachelor, and even the director himself seems to agree.

>>713586638
When I was but a wee child, I went for the hot emo goth chick that is Raven. Pretty basic bitch tastes I know.
But when I played 3S not too long ago, I realized that Collette (or Shara) was the real way.

>>713590305
No, that guy is just a simple piece of shit. Edgy for the sake of edgy. I want characters with distinct bad boy/bad girl streaks. Not flat out evil assholes. Next thing you're gonna say is that you want Ethelberd as a sugar daddy.

>>713590170
I don't even find Ikaruga heckin wholesome I find him to be a fucking asshole. Maybe something happens after you date him, and I won't, but he has no business being a fucking prickly bitch even with his past when you've been nothing but kind to him and helped him.

>>713590170
Ikaruga would be interesting if he actually fucked off like Cliff (Mineral Town) or something. Like nigga it's been 10 years why are you still here? Don't you have a government job?

>>713590617
Food's too good.

>>713590305
you already posted this last thread

>>713590480
>Next thing you're gonna say is that you want Ethelberd as a sugar daddy.
Ethelberd isn’t a hot, pretty boy twink, so no.

>>713590536
Is he even
He's just a dude that likes food and is typically appreciative

>>713566514
Jesus, good thing I never bothered to make things look nice.
I can feel my pressure rising just by looking at this...

Tell me about Kai, why does he wear the mask?

>>713590923
No one cared who he was until he put on the mask

>>713590617
You could ask Hina the same question really.

>>713590923
I haven't dated him so I'm not sure if he says why but he looks incredibly soft without it so that's my assumption

>>713588797
3 and 4 had lots of schedule/context specific dialogues.
Like in 3, if you talked to Marian while she's manning the clinic and Collette is also coincidentally hanging out, Collette will actually butt in to your conversation with Marian.

Azuma has no cool stuff like that.

>>713590994
Liaison officer, maybe. I think stability in Azuma is also in the interest of Adonea and having boots on the ground in case shit hits the fan (even if just to get report immediately) makes things much easier.

>>713591153
>and having boots on the ground in case shit hits the fan
A very elegant way to phrase your invasion plans, gaijin scum

Glowies out!

Imagine getting your bloodline almost wiped out by some faggot wolfboy from some barbarian eastern island.

>>713590617
It's probably in the capital's best interest to keep tabs on the person who bonded with the ancient dragons and the reawakened gods

To be fair neither did 5, so it’s not like GoA is any worse on that front.

>>713549838
I love Mist being demanding

Things that need to return to Rune Factory:
>Bars
>Churches
>Rival Marriage
>Cliques and group conversation dialogues
>Inspecting one’s room dialogue

>>713591291
Prussia larpers got owned already and their princess is lusting after Earthmate cock, anon. And we are talking here about few agents operating, not SEED building a military base under the rice fields (which will be also extremely bad if suddenly there will be hundreds of uniformed people would appear). Also, seems like Azuma's government is extremely incompetent (few hobos stealing artifacts that can literally unmake the world, get a better hold on your WMDs) and they will need help and expertise that came from last hundred or so years of dealing with dragons in Norad.

>>713591936
>rival marriage
Nice try retard, fuck off already.

>>713591812
>To be fair neither did 5
They still had festival cliques where the gangs of boys and girls huddled together and talked to each other during festivals. That's still more effort than Azuma ever did for actually making a town feel like a proper community.

It says a lot that for all of 5's flaws, the big power of friendship climax in the story still had all the people in Rigbarth offering their wishes and hopes to help out the MC.
Meanwhile, I don't even think the regular folks of the four seasonal villages in Azuma knew you were fucking throwing hands with the chief deity of their pantheon with everyone's survival at stake.

>>713592024
>He doesn’t want to cuck his rival at the altar and steal the bride in front of everyone
What a chud.

>>713592065
This is current RF. I'm going to cuck my bride at the altar and steal my rival in front of everyone.

>>713592065
>want a whore who would drop a man just because someone objects

>>713592036
I haven't played 3 or 4 in a hot minute so going in freshly playing 5 I do have to say that it's nice that there's at least dialogue for quite nearly every step of the storyline from randos.

>>713592036
I think it has to do with splitting the town up into 4 seasonal villages, now everything’s disjointed as fuck. Which is weird because Trio of Towns had the multiple towns aspect too but it didn’t have this problem…

>>713588367
Please respond. I've been getting carried by the 1st boss I tamed and it's embarrassing

>>713591936
>Rival Marriage
I kinda liked these, they gave a bit of life to the communites and they happend so late that actually losing your waifu to a rival was practically impossible

>>713590305
I want Hound to step on me and make me his bitch…

>>713592207
The split villages were a dumb idea in general but like, they still could've worked around it if, you know, THERE WERE ACTUAL SCHEDULES. Why the fuck is Yoichi running a fucking Izakaya and it's seemingly open all day
Why are all stores open all day, 7 days a week, including fucking festivals (EVEN THOUGH THEY BARELY EXIST)? Like it's just so shortsighted. You can have people travel to different villages, that's fine, but have it be a purpose. The only time it's ever a real purpose is if they go to the summer village for the fucking hot springs inn but that's also completely random.

>>713592036
>all the people in Rigbarth offering their wishes and hopes to help out the MC.
ALL the people in Rigbarth you say?

>>713592247
All of RF's difficulty is really just stat checks.
Grind your crafting levels, create better equipment. Munch on recipe breads every day while raising your crafting/cooking levels.

Abuse the game. If you have a large mount (something like those Griffons) and do the dismounting animation while kissing the wall/blockade to a blocked area, you can actually clip through the story mandated blockade and access the blocked area just fine, this way you can get materials than you shouldn't be getting yet at that point in the story and craft even more busted equipment. Well, assuming you're crafting levels are up to spec.

>>713592474
Honestly Julian deserves better than Hina even if she's a CF, she's grown up to be a real fucking bitch

>>713592268
Meh, RF has enough life already and I don't want my husbando being flirty with another NPC nor do I like stealing other men from "Rivals". Most people don't want this either.

>>713592617
You're not turning into a green-eyed harpy over virtual men, do you?

>>713587969
you can put paths under the bridge at least to get rid of the green edges.

i love the harvest moon/story of seasons series. will i enjoy the new rune factory?
i'm kind of put off because it looks like generic genshin slop, but i've been told hm fans also tend to like rune factory so i'm curious. anyone here played both?

>>713592667
If you want cuck NTR shit play hentai games. We all know thats why you're so focused on rival marriages.

>>713592667
Go away Rivalfag, you lost this battle.

>>713592398
>festivals barely exist
Yes they do, they’re just all romantic, date-based festivals now, which is a good thing.

>>713592675
1 and 2 is literally just the older Harvests Moon games, but you also beat up monsters.
3 and 4 is where the games developed a more distinct identity and crafting/farming math/autism that surpassed anything HM or SoS ever did.

>>713592675
If you like farming you'll hate RF

>>713592667
It's a dating sim game and I hate NTR in my games. If you're fine with it, then good for you. But you should know that people get attached to story characters. Implementing Rival Marriage or Rival Scenes would honestly make me lose interest in the game.

>>713592675
Rune Factory has unironically surpassed and become better than it’s parent Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons series, at least in the social aspect.

I fucking hate that people see any anime style 3D game nowadays and go: "lol genshin".

>>713592617
>I don't want my husbando being flirty with another NPC
Don’t marry Fubuki then.

>>713592943
It's one of the pettiest things to be proud of, but I'm quite proud that I have never touched a single fucking Mihoyo game and I still don't have any interest on playing a single one of them any time soon.

>>713592943
I remember when everyone just called Genshin a botw clone we should have hammered it harder in normalfags minds

>>713592802

>>713593062
Anon....

>>713593057
I won't. I've never been a fan of that game and I know that it's just not for me.

>>713592943
what do you mean, legit looks like almost exactly like a mihoyo game both in character models and UI
have you not played genshin or something
even this >>713587730 character has a similar silhouette to yoimiya

From everything I've read about this game, the only part people seem to enjoy is the dating sim part

>>713593253
>Character in Japanese inspired setting has Japanese inspired design
>OMG ITS A CLONE OF A GENSHIN CHARACTER
This is your average Mihoyo player btw.

>>713593267
I like building comfy villages.

>>713593354
The funniest thing is that this is not the first time a Mihoyoshitter accuses another series of copying characters from Mihoyo shit (despite the accused character existing way before their Mihoyo copycat ever existed).

>>713592398
I've seen shops close on weekend holidays (but you can insta summon them with the sign anyway)
Takumi does it for sure

>>713593267
The story is fine but feels insanely rushed. Especially with "dropping down to a village,awakening the god, then immediately getting made to fuck off to the next village within like a day." Sure you can just slow down but when progress, and even recipes, hinge on you continuing the fucking game it becomes almost a necessity to continue

>>713593267
Messing around with your villages can be relaxing, overall GoA is the kind of game that's turn your brain and chill,

There's no extreme crafting autism like the older RFs

>>713593354
>4chan user without an ounce of art knowledge has no idea what a silhouette is or why it's important
>4chan user can't even compare two art styles and find similarities
you are being silly.
i wasn't even trying to start a fight anyway lol i thought the comparison was totally obvious

>>713591808
It is practically NTR if you don't marry the CF MC.

>>713593354
everything is genshin sloppa to somebody that has a genshin slop mind

>>713593612
Okay so I've never played genshin and this is apparently the character with a "similir silhouette" as matsuri
Are you fucking blind?

They werent even in a romantic relationship... They were just told to get married.

I'm playing RF4 and does the kind of hammer you use matter in what ore you get?
As I'm wondering if I should use the 1 bronze I have getting a better hammer for better mining luck, or just use it to get a nicer fishing rod

>>713592009
>And we are talking here about few agents operating, not SEED building a military base under the rice fields (which will be also extremely bad if suddenly there will be hundreds of uniformed people would appear).
You let one SEED agent in, and the next thing you know it they're making world dominating magitech brainwashing doodads again

That’s Rune Factory/Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons in general, which genre do you even think you’re playing?

>>713593612
Congrats on just confirming the stereotype that Mihoyofags are idiots that never played any other 3D anime game I guess.

>>713593813
The spiky updo hair is pretty much one of the most archetypal designs for any Japanland inspired female character ever, but don't expect Mihoyofags to have any proper frame of reference for anything outside of Mihoyo shit.

>>713593938
But they were just friends

>>713593938
You can end a betrothal and neither of them expected to see the other ever again. It meant nothing in the end.

>>713593938
Pretty much just like my shoelacer manga, cf always betrays

I liked pumping my soil full of illegal and questionable drugs. Never liked the gay magic drum thing in Azuma.

>>713594272
They should give you alternative Sechs equipment for farming, so you can choose between gay wholesome magic and industrial farming

>>713593425
Is it about Lumine and Nagant?

>>713593846
This. I dunno if the flashback scenes play out the same depending on MC, but it always seemed like they were okay with the idea mostly because of lack of alternative, it's pretty clear that renewing vows is touchy subject that they feel embarrassed to speak about. They were pretty much raised together and trained whole live for singular purpose of unfucking the world. Playing as Subaru during dating scenes two times Subaru reassures Kaguya that his confession had nothing to do with the betrothal they had as kids. Hell, in the last date event they both say that they only have snippets of memories that came back to them, whatever people they were before don't even exist anymore after whole dragon fuckery.

>>713594368
I'm pretty sure all the drugs we used in the series are Norad made.
I sure wouldn't mind a Sechs Combine Machine or Tractor for my farms though.

I don't play Genshin. Who are the best bachelorettes?

Since he counts as a dog does he have a knot?

>>713594595
Your cool CF
Second is the bear girl

>>713594631
>>713594491
If you play as Kaguya she is, without even your input, overly touchy with the dude. Tries to hand feed him and shit. Like actually all fucking over him and it's funny because I started doing his early bonds after I was already married so it felt completely out of touch.

Azuma gods getting real uppity, wanting to destroy rightful and preexisting childhood friend romance.

If I had the time right now to sit down, I'd try to check my folder for some.

Anon, unless you're using that mod that other Anon keeps autistically shilling in every thread, the combat is piss easy on any difficulty. Just dodge an attack and you have like 5 seconds to freely wail on the opponent(s), while also getting a boost to stagger gauge filling, then when you stagger use whatever two bar sacred treasure attack you prefer and delete a massive chunk of health. Only reason you ever need to heal is because AI friendlies like eating attacks, and that can be completely mitigated by using the one bar drum AoE heal.

>>713590305
The Hound is boring as fuck, though. He's just a bloodthirsty god with no real character development or backstory (he was evil just for the sake of being evil, and stronger than all the other gods for some unknown reason). Women like him just because they want to "fix him" and be the only people for whom he feels a modicum of love and trust. Many such cases.

I want to leash the Hound and beat him within an inch of his smug life.

If you're marrying a god, become one. If not, don't.
Simple as.

>>713601175
>>713601251
Me, personally, I want both The Hound and Fubuki resting their heads on my (male) thighs while I stroke both of their tails, after ascending. Imagine the aura you'd impart on normalfag mortals when in the presence of your triple threat.

>>713551386

Yep, it's not even a morality decision, just a lifespan equalizer. Not even really a choice.

I want to outlive my spouse only because I don't want her (Pilika) to end up going back to being lonely. I would rather suffer the heartbreak than let her deal with it. But I also don't want immortality so rejection it is.

>>713601642
Can't risk it since they don't show it in the game.

The virgin insecure deification wanters.
The chad mortals and protectors of the natural order.

>>713601798
Didn't they say your ascension was part of natural order because of your super special snowflake status?

Subaru and Fubuki is somehow way more adorable. They both kinda have similar demeanors and it gets amplified nicely.

>>713601708
I think if Subaru/Kaguya takes place of Mihoshi Habaki in the order of things (way the last conversation is worded implies that) they can just will it so. Maybe we just need to ask the devs.

Is there a guide to maximize bonuses for decorations? They said you get extra bonus for putting similar shit together, like Pious stuff, but I never noticed a change, so I just have one plot in each village dedicated to a bunch of garbage all piled into the corner, somewhat ordered by type.

>>713604686
Godhood in Azuma just seems to be about not aging and getting put in charge of a certain domain.
Any sufficiently strong enough person can still ice you just fine.

As the other anon said, it's really only good for endless sex. And I imagine that's already what most people want.

>>713604849
As a fujo, I believe tribalism in these sorts of matters is gay and retarded. I will always support my cunny and hag enjoyer comrades in their endeavours.

Why the fuck did the director retweet this post >>713590305 of a Nip player pretty much begging for Hound DLC then? Just to rub it in their face and mock them? He also retweeted some Kaguya/Hound shipping art before too.

>>713604971
I can support people like you in return.

>>713605036
>Why the fuck did the director retweet this post
Because he liked it? Lots of game creators and directors retweet/like fanart of their work. Does it mean anything? Fuck no.
There is no shortage of schizos keeping track of what creators do on their personal SNS, looking for hidden meanings or agendas and 99% of the time, it doesn't mean shit.

Meanwhile Sooby-Doo/Kagu-Cakes won against all of 3 of them. If RF6 has a save data bonus/returning character from Azuma, I'd like a god version of them.

>>713605036
Uhh, that just simply means that the directory likes those fanarts. Acting like it's set in stone just for that simple act is beyond retarded. And acting smug towards dragon lovers makes you sound twice as dumb, what did they ever do to you?

>>713605394
Ventuswill is the Dragon equivalent of a Dying Cancer Patient. And she's been in her hospice for 1000 years. Cut her some slack.

Lucas is also not that omnipotent because he also got affected by Gideon's brainwashing thing. He just has some bullshit warping powers. Powerlevel wise, he's probably on the same level as the Azuma gods. Though I guess it helps that he's not as retarded as them.

You're actually not wrong on this, but watch as the cultivationfags pile up on you for saying that.

Definitely a guy but due to magic fuckery I assume he could take a lolibaba form if he wanted, especially after pacting with kaguya.

Much as I hate to admit it, I'm pretty sure that without them the series would be shelved by now. Marvelous team might even be dissolved.

If I just sleep spam, do I still get all the materials my villagers gather?

Yes. Every time you sleep to midday or evening you get spammed with a bajillion gathering notifications.

Someone please tell me what the fuck is this about, I don't have a copy or save of RF4 at the moment and I'm always surprised to find little details that I never seen in the game before.

>>713608170
Reddit is not even 1% of people buying those games

>>713609175

>>713609175
If you give Nancy a Love Potion, she immediately figures out what the drug is and playfully chastises you for attempting to use it on her.
If you give Jones a Love Potion, he remarks how the juice you fed him tastes kinda familiar. He then randomly blurts out that it kinda tastes like Fried Rice.

Jone's favourite food is Fried Rice and Nancy love making it for him. You can put two and two together from here.

And with this knowledge, you actually notice that a lot of things in the random events they're involved in or even whenever they talk about their past don't quite add up or seem rather strange.

Threads really fell off. It was fun while it lasted. See everyone when RF6 releases.

>>713609712
It's been three weeks now. It's to let go, anons.

>>713609541
>>713609610
Even more suspicious is the dialogue when Jones gets Fried Rice from you.
He explicitly says that he only acquired a taste for the dish AFTER Nancy started regularly making it for him.

Poor guy's brain is fried on rice and brain altering drugs.

What kinds of party members are good? Are healers or defenders any good? I've spent the whole game BEEing a busy BEE.

>>713610110
Healer, Buffer and Debuffer are alright. Attackers just eat shit and die My poor son...

>>713610110
Don't actually expect Attackers to reliably kill anything before you. They're a meme.
Defenders are okay-ish as distraction and meat shields, but they typically have aggro draw skills, and for bosses, you want the boss to be locked on you so that you can reliably do perfect dodges and initiate stun combos.

You can't really go wrong with Healers, Buffers and Debuffers as extra utility. They certainly help more than the first two types.

>>713610110
they're all trash, just go alone

>>713610597
But i want to listen to matsuri voice lines shes to cute

>>713609610
>>713609541
To clarify and make explicit because it still isn't outright stated: she puts love potion in his rice every single time she makes it for him, which is why it tastes like fried rice to him.

>>713586559

How to beat Clarice once she starts taking 0 damage?

>>713612041
Bwo, it's pretty easy to level up in this game.

>>713612217
Wipe your dick out

>>713612217
Is she taking 0 damage due to an add phase or due to being immune to light element?

>>713609610
Why the FUCK haven't we arrested that monster

>>713611914
Jones says that he only met Nancy after an accident.
Nancy says that she and Jones met when they were kids.
Those two statements aren't mutually exclusive, but the way they phrased their respective recollection of their first meeting seems a bit too specific.
There's also a random dialogue where Nancy essentially goes: "In love and courting people, you gotta play it clean and respect the other person, not that I'm one to talk though~"

Lots of other stuff too, but It's been a while since I played.

We'll never truly get a proper definitive answer as to the nature of their relationship. But the game's writing is definitely playing it coy on whether there's something really darker in their relationship.

>>713612217
Pay attention to the stuff swirling around her.
Do they look familiar?

>>713612217
I kept throwing random attacks at her and at some point she started taking damage again, I think it had something to do with the things floating around her

>>713612217
Look at the color of the blight flowers floating around her. Now remember what the fuck you did to those shit throughout the whole game.

If you're talking about when she's at <20 and has no blight barrier around her, remember that thing you got at the end of your training arc dungeon.

>wife finally preggo
How many days does it take to get the kid? This shit is cockblocking me from doing post game content

>>713612834
5 more days

>>713612901
thats some fast development.

>>713613005
You got her super pregnant after praying.

>>713612512
>Nancy says that she and Jones met when they were kids
Do you remember where you read this? I can't find anything on it. Both Nancy and Jones tell the same story, that they met during a landslide accident that almost killed her and she was his patient. During an event where some of the bachelorettes ask Nancy for love advice, she tells them what happened after that.
"Once, a long time ago, I was
one of Jones' patients."
"Not much later, he and I came
across each other by accident
in the capital."
I knew then it had to be destiny.
"So I followed him all the way out
here, to this town."
"But it was hard to get him to do
more than glance my way every
now and again."
"So I decided I had to go in for the
attack! "
"Oh, wow. What do you mean by,
""go in for the attack""?"
"They say the road to a man's
heart runs through his stomach.
So I made lots of meals for him."
"I wasn't really good at cooking
back then, though."
"But I kept at it and kept at it,
and eventually I got better."
>We'll never truly get a proper definitive answer as to the nature of their relationship. But the game's writing is definitely playing it coy on whether there's something really darker in their relationship.
I think it's just meant to be a funny little easter egg. Their relationship gets some focus during Dolce's marriage event, and it gets played completely straight and sincerely.

We're lucky Nancy and Jones are seemingly infertile, otherwise their spawn would literally be Voldemort

>tfw you'll never drug someone with love potions

Btw, since everyone is apparently a bi nutjob now, we'll never get funny: "What the fuck man, no homo" love potion reactions again.

>>713614186
I'm not against same sex romance in my games, I really don't care, but it does really suck and piss me off how it ends up also being an excuse for devs to just write one single script instead of adding little differences in interactions between what gender you pick.

>>713614186
>>713615365
I agree with these two anons, playersexuality is laziness but I don't actually care about the option especially if the characters are hot.

>>713615365
It's just easier to write treating both genders as one if your MC can be male/female

This isn't even really a RF issue it's just a modern game issue, so you get cases like a female character saying I love you to a female MC when she would say the exact same thing to a male one with zero differences

>>713615679
Oh absolutely, it's not a RF issue exclusively at all. It just sucks because the differences in dialog and interactions when you played as Lest or Frey were really charming.

>>713615679
Do Kaguya/Subaru even approach romances differently themselves? The two are very distinct characters, but it sounds like the moment they go sweet talking someone they instantly share the same lines.

Xiao Pai was a mistake.

Would like to be friends with him but ofcourse male friendships doesnt exist anymore and i havent spoken to a single male because i dont want to get a homo achievment stamp on my steam profile, dont get me wrong i love the game but it is annoying bruh

What are the chances of rune factory 3 going on sale on steam summer sales ? I want to 100% it ngl

>>713617485
A few characters like Fubuki have romantic undertones with the MC during their regular bond events but most don't and that includes Kurama, if you don't tell him you love him it simply stays friendship.

>>713617485
yeah, fubuki and kai are that way
haven't done cuilang

>>713617617
It went on sale the previous seasonal sale so I don't see why it wouldn't do so for this one. It was about 60% off then.

So it's ntr

>>713617485
Fubuki and Ikaruga are the ones that are very into the MC.

We're dying...

Finally done with this game. What are some new games that are worth playing?
