I have no idea if she would be a good mother, but between her and Rin, I'm sure they could figure something out.

Hilarious and sweet romance, I enjoyed it a lot.

>>713650274 (OP)
So do you get to have a kid with rin too, are they not a package deal?

>>713650435
Not sure, I haven't married her yet. Gonna finish the next story sequence first. Then, I'll find out!

I don't imagine you'll actually get to have a kid with Rin. But I also can't possibly imagine Rin not being there to supervise Kanata's wedding night.

>>713650435
You do not Rin is a literal nobody character

What happened to last thread?

And for this area, I went with the theme of "soulless beachfront property rental".

>>713651562
You just know they can hear each other if they have sex in there with those thin ass walls

>>713650274 (OP)
Test

>>713651562
I really should try and actually decorate. Pretty much the only thing I haven't done in this game...

>>713651764
It doesn't take much. Not like anything is going to end if you just up and annihilate everyone's town for a day or two.

>shady
That's racist

>>713652539
Slim (until he hits the elven equivalent of his 40s) Shady

>>713652539
It's probably a bad translation, like "Fushigi-chan' into "Missy"

>>713652539
He takes Shady as a joke name given his job as a night-guarding mystic.

>>713650274 (OP)
I was about to make the greatest post ever last thread...but then it unexpectedly archived.

Holy SHIT I wasn't expecting Clarice to be that cute. I was supposed to marry Kaguya and now I'm having second thoughs.

>>713653207
>I was supposed to marry Kaguya
Do not fall for the childhood friend psyop. Be free.

Tipsy

>>713652856
Go ahead and make it, Anon. I'm here for you.

>>713653207
I really wonder how that romance feels if you actually left Kaguya to die (and to be fair, Moko tells you to. Without metagaming bringing her back at potentially the cost of your life is putting all of Azuma at risk).

>>713651493
What if I want to fuck this bunny instead?

Thick eyebrows are peak female design

>>713654067
Do not.Cannot.

>>713654231

>>713653207
Even without the CF thing, Kaguya is top-tier wife material.

>>713654098
Based.

>>713654309
>This is a girl Dragon
Huh...

>>713654508
I agree generally, but her storyline was a bit meh. She was so cold and standoffish for most of it until right at the end, actually getting some emotional payoff was nice but it felt a little too little.

>>713655172
It's funny because the blue beard on black body makes it look a lot more masculine than the pure white from woolby, because of how prominent the beard is

>>713653207
Childhood friends are meant to lose.

How does Kai's VA manage to be a better Troy Baker than Troy Baker?

Do you get punished in any way from dating multiple people at once?

Hina looks so angry compared to her mom

Do not open, scary inside.

>>713655387
As far as I've heard, no.

>>713655387

>>713654013
You're asking for dream correction if you call her that

>>713655387

>>713654309

>>713655472
Hina is fucking pissed!

>>713655472
Have you tried not using her as a taxi?

Pilika sounds much more cute in the English dub than I expected. Startling.

>>713655387
I figured Ulalaka would be okay with me dating Kana too, so I've been going with both of them. No repurcussions or jealousy dialogue so far.

Although it may hurt your heart a little, since your MC's gonna straight up tell them to their face "You're the only one I love! I could never imagine being with anyone but you!" right after snogging with her boss. I felt a little bad.

>>713656414

>>713656514
Surprised he isn't a postgame villager too, honestly. Him and Rin.

>>713656662
Never ever, he's Clarice's dad and devs hate people over 25.

>>713656543
>I figured Ulalaka would be okay with me dating Kana too, so I've been going with both of them. No repurcussions or jealousy dialogue so far.
She would fucking murder you if the devs actually programmed in an event were the cheating would come up.
Ulalaka is extremely insistent on being your one and only, and threatening you if you betray her trust.

Does anyone know what causes the differences between affection increases on the field? Some days it's 1, others it's 3, and sometimes even 4

Okay I'm done sorry

>>713657471
Multiple things can proc, like healing them, defeating an enemy, and idle dialogue/conversations triggering

Ok sorry NOW I'm done.

>>713657658
Yeah, but each of those can increase affection by multiple amounts at once. And whatever that amount is, it increases the same for each type. The amount itself is what changes and I don't know why.

>>713657719
What happened to this one

>>713657112
Imagine an eternity of being with a super clingy fertility goddess

>>713657641
On topic beautiful official art is nothing to apologize for.

Interesting, I wonder if there's a hidden luck stat

Same that happened to these I guess

>>713657641
I just noticed the paw apron...cute. It's not fair...

>>713655782
She should consider drinking less then if she wants it to stop

Hope this is on sale tomorrow, especially since they lock best waifu behind the $70 version.

I mean they're still here even if you can't romance them?
Who even was dlc in 5?

I was told Pilika isn't schizo, but from what I'm seeing...

>>713659561
Dragon lolis were going to be DLC waifus, but RF5 bombed so hard the devs cancelled their dlc plans

>>713657887
>Kurama's line for chests is "Make sure to watch out for mimics- Ah, nevermind."
Here I thought it was him being a gamer and realizing that doesn't happen in real life, but I guess it was meta all long.

>no Inviso monsters in Azuma
lame

>>713659879
I thought it was supposed to be a gag based on the player automatically opening chests before he can finish his dialog (though it also does literally stop the dialog when you open the chest anyway)

>>713659046

>>713660737
>tonight is not the night for revelry
>that comes later.

I almost feel bad.
Almost.

>>713661708
I wish they let her send more letters desu
It's lonely when she stops sending them after THAT part of the story starts
Also annoying/hilarious having my proposal and wedding happen the same time the game was ending with how long her dating event takes to start

>>713661708
I hate this art style so much

>>713659705
You won't find out until after the first date

>>713661570
Kaguya is such a sweet girl too...

Sex the Suc.

>>713665408
Here's some nice pussy.

>>713665446
>"Nice pussy, anon"

That seems to be it for all the mobs that didn't actually make it into the game

>>713665408
Kaguya and Clarice's super-smitten faces are something else.

Finally finished Stellar Blade and now I can go back to playing Rune Factory
I liked this game but the gameplay is a little bit repetitive so I needed a break

yeah th-thanks pilika

>>713665875
still weird that this game has meat other than fish

>>713665875
Why are you upset it's free meat
Do you not like free meat
What is wrong with you
Do you want to spend 250g for it

>>713665921
Azumans are red blooded meat eaters, unlike the soft vegetarian Adoneans

That face of hers always looks so sus

subaru and ulalaka murdered the wooly couple...

So I loved RF4, but skipped 5 because it didn’t seem to have as great girls but also the gameplay seemed clunky in general.
Should I try Guardians of Azuma? How is it compared to RF4?

>>713666284
Depends, it's a good game but it has barely any farming, specially when compared to 4

>>713664918
I do need at least aa few minutes to decorate everything

>>713666284
The gameplay is solid and the combat is fun. The girls have been fantastic, and I've laughed out loud many times at a good few of the antics.

If you like Rune Factory, I'd say you'll like it.

>>713657112
Sure, under normal circumstances. But she's also extremely caring and empathetic to all the people around her, and especially towards Kana when she understands why Kana's suffering after the whole mess with the Celestial Collapse.

If you just cheated on her, she'd be pissed. But if she was aware that Kana was also in love with and pining for the same man as her, I think 100% Ula would be okay with sharing. So long as she was the one who suggested and initiated it.

>>713666420
Does it have autistic crafting/forging mechanics like 4?

>>713666786
no

>>713666786
Absolutely not.

>>713663646
>Used goods

>>713666439
Very nice

>>713665921
I like it, I've always thought it was lame how most farming games essentially make your character a pescatarian. In Stardew you can eat meat burgers at an event, but that's the only time in the whole game you can.

The explanation of "Oh it's not from their actual bodies, it's just a gift left behind when they return to the afterlife" is kind'a silly, but whatever works.

Ludmilla is a pure maiden

>>713666814
>>713666825
Alright you convinced me thanks and wish me luck good friends!

>>713666929
No, it's particularly weird in RF because of how "killing" monsters works.

Abit off-topic but since its steam summer sale soon is RF5 worth my time? Its the only rf game i skipped.

>>713667073
absolutely not, avoid it like the plague

>>713667073
i'd pirate it

>>713667073
If you're dying to play more RF and even Oceans doesn't put you off, then go for it. Otherwise, just pretend it doesn't exist.

>>713666706
Even in her confession Ulalaka treats love as devoting your whole to another, if Kanata/one of her other close friends were somehow madly in love with the MC she'd either step back, or make them choose who to be with, but sharing is no bueno.

Ulalaka has a mole down there, too.

>>713666969
Is this true?
Can succubi be virgins?

>>713667073
Its got cute monstergirls to capture and ride, I stuck around for them.

What do the different stats do?

>>713667073
RF5 is kinda like they took RF4 and removed all the things that made it good. It plays like absolute dogshit, looks worse than RFF (a game that came out 3 generations ago), and honestly the girls aren't really that great either. The real bad thing is the lack of momentum and the general sense of speed so integral to the mainline RF games.

What the Hell...you really coerce Kai into helping by threatening to basically curse his dick off?

>>713667401
Ikaruga was bluffing

>>713667245
They gotta start somewhere bro

This game looks like it has soul. Haven't been able to enjoy a Harvest Moon-like since Back to Nature but having the whole village work the farm seems nice. I hope they keep that as a feature.

i've done both cf bond events and it's weird but the kaguya mc -> subaru romance felt a lot better than subaru mc -> kaguya romance even though it's more or less the same thing in terms of themes/story beats. idk maybe i'm misogynistic or w/e but it felt more natural for kaguya to be the really nice one and subaru to be the asshole than the other way around

also another anon already pointed this out but kaguya mc also has unique wedding commentary from the other villagers when she marries subaru but not the other way around

kind of strange since the people who will most likely be playing kaguya (ie women) will 99% pick cuilang or fubuki because they're catered towards women tastes unlike subaru, cf enjoyers will probably be playing as the male mc

>build an actual nice looking village
or

At least I placed fences around my crop plots... hehehehe

>>713667596

ITS NOT, THEY WILL FUCK YOUR ENTIRE FARM UP, THEY ARE SO BAD AT THEIR JOB

>>713650274 (OP)

it's the game good enough or just another unplayable slop?

>>713667650
Oh.

>>713667665
The brain damage exuding from your post suggests you wouldn't enjoy it either way.

turnip game

>>713667636
Kaguya being a distant bitch that pushes (You) away out of guilt is natural. It's just that her dates and side story are just a millions times more boring.
Fuck, she doesn't even get anything like the sweet dream scene with the Black Dragon showing it cared for its rider

>>713667596
>>713667650
It's prefectly fine so long as you don't care about the aesthetics. They'll plant seeds kinda randomly and it's hard to know how many villagers you actually need working to get it all done.

But they will use your highest level seeds appropriate for that Village. It's perfectly valid to have the NPCs do all the work. So long at you don't care that you'll have tomatoes growing beside onions in the same patch.

Sakuna is an exception regardless of what you're doing though. No matter what, you should hire Sakuna and leave all the rice business to her (Maybe you can harvest it with Matsuri's weapon to ensure a level up, but Sakuna will do that too). She's extremely useful, because you can guarantee that she'll only be planting and harvesting rice.

>>713667636
Exact opposite for me. A girl being moody and guilt ridden is more affecting, and the fact that she tried to sacrifice herself to save Subaru works way better (since its just assumed a guy will sacrifice himself for a girl).

Most women go for Kai anyway.

>>713667767
Honestly RFF still has the comfiest town and aesthetic of all the RF games.

Is Oceans really that bad?

>>713665607

>>713666929
>>713667032
I think Pilika's events clarified how monster "killing" works in RF.
It's literally just beating/killing the monsters as how you'd expect it to go, except Tamitaya just guides their soul back to the Forest.
That prime thigh leg you "accidentally" lopped off while "sending the monster back"? You can keep it I guess.

But that just brings the question of what's the difference between a monster killed with a Tamitaya enchanted weapon and one that was killed without it. Do their souls just stay in the world or something? I guess that would explain the undead monsters in the series.

>>713668375
I would say RF4 is significantly better than RF3 in all aspects except the town and romances. As far as the gameplay benefits are concerned, there's really no contest. RF4 is so much more of a game than 3 thanks to intense autism of the crafting system, expanded dungeons, significant post-game content, and actually having marriage divorced from the plot.

>>713668716
It's completed? I thought it was still in a demo phase.

I tried to do that.
Got to just about reaching Autumn town before I said "fuck it" and just started handling everything myself.
Coming back to any village and seeing all the carefully curated rows be filled with random crops physically hurt me.

>>713670101
Funny thing is that the Blacksmith in RF1 looks like the stereotypical depiction of a dwarf in terms of appearance and personality. But he's human. He does mention at least mentoring under a dwarf during his apprentice days at least.

Theres no escaping the Turnip mines.

Done Ula, Kai and Matsuri's romances so far. Matsuri's kinda wins out the hardest. She's ridiculously fun. Gonna try out Clarice and Kanata next and maybe stop at that. The sleep spam is getting a little tiring (hah).

>>713671051
Not gonna lie that's really good character design.

So is the new rune factory worth picking up for the Switch 2? Always been interested in this series and need something to play.

>>713671852
God, why does she always look so smugtarded cute?

>>713671852
I envy your yurifaggotry boldness, I want to marry Clarice, but Subaru's design is pretty gay, and I can't justify giving Kaguya and Clarice fake soulless Lettuce Patch Kids that come from turnips instead of biological children, it feels wrong. But then again, so is forcing Clarice to wear a bikini 24/7 as a village member as penance for villainy.

>>713672186
>. But then again, so is forcing Clarice to wear a bikini 24/7 as a village member as penance for villainy.
Why are you like this

Why didn't Venti just make a supercomputer tree dragon like the dragon from this game?

>>713672276
Venti is an idiot.

>>713672058
I bought my Switch 2 for Yakuza 0, and ended up putting that down after I found out the fucked up the ending by waving Makoto's watch in front of the audience in a new cutscene, destroying the whammy of the game's ending. Picked up Rune Factory after Best Buy finally gave me my LE, and I can't put it down. The visuals and load times are fantastic on the Switch 2, and mouse controls really do make a difference in farming and village building. There's some slight frame stutters here and there I won't say are unnoticable, but this is definitely a must-play so far, I'd say. Actually gets me excited for RF6 again after 5 DMC2'd the series.

>>713672186
Honestly I'd have taken turnip babies over poor Kaguya having to go through pregnancy in my Kai romance run. Nothing wrong with the literal gods giving you an off-spring rather than rolling the genetic lottery. That being said, stop making Clarice debase herself, you creature of pure darkness.

>>713672135
She knows she always wins when it matters most.

>>713672058
It's a spinoff game that's kind of shallow overall relative to other games in the series, but I would say it's good in total. Characters are good, town building is fun, still has the RF classic of always having something else to do. Dumped a lot of hours real quick
If you wanted a more traditional RF game then 3 and 4 are the more generally recommended games

>>713672276
She's a dumb dragon

>>713672276
Venti doesn't agree with Viatrea's methods and may have been one of the reasons why Viatrea left
We also don't know if the "arch dragons" from Tides aren't just Adonea's version of Woolby and his sister or just something that they forgot about

>>713671710
It really do be like that.

I was dead set on Kaguya, so I hadn't started any other romances. But then before I knew it, I was exchanging cups with Kanata. She's dangerously adorable.

>>713673093
Venti doesn't do this out of selfishness btw.
Objectively, she hates being a near omnipotent being.
But being granted power whether you want it or not requires a huge level of responsibility and loneliness, and she doesn't want anyone else to suffer through it unless necessary.

Viatrea is effectively just doing a lottery to pass on her work to any half-competent mortal so that she can fuck off forever and absolve herself from any responsibility. Fucking lazy dragon got kicked out of Adonea for a reason.

>>713673093
Based Viatrea making gods for the sake of my ascension power fantasy.

>>713673419
Not to mention the point she brings up shines through in GoA's character events
The Azuma gods don't really know how to act like gods. They sort of grasp the idea, but in the end, they're still ascended humans

>>713673419
>Suffer through it

Didn't this entire game show us that it's a remarkably chill process, though? All the Azuma deities are just hanging out having a good time, and the Earth Dancer turned Sovereign isn't really that weighed down by their role.

I gott'a stop coming into these threads and spoiling shit for myself. I wouldn't have even know you had kids if I wasn't such a dumbass- would'a been a really nice surprise.

No hate on the people posting about it, just on myself for not staying blind. I've been enjoying the game so much I wanted to join the discussion!

>>713673618
It's not exactly a huge spoiler, and the kids can be pretty varied. You'll still have fun with it.

>>713673618
That is a series staple (even if the one in 1 showed up for .5 seconds)

>>713671051
>Attach autistic but cute girl to main tutorial mechanic obsessed with its result item for farming game

10/10 idea tb.h

What is the difference between the Azuma gods and the Selphia Guardians anyway? They're both effectively ascended humans right?

>>713673886
The Selphia guardians are basically mindless rune conduits until we save them

>>713673505
Ulalaka was right though
The Spring villagers are just giant faggots who won't let their patron help them not even for something that is literally impossible to treat otherwise like arthritis, yet will gladly accept Kanata using magic BS for them

>>713673886
The Azuma Gods are effectively just turbocharged Selphia Guardians. But they actually work in completely opposite ways.

Guardians are normal humans fused to a rune power spot so that they can be magical IV drips to forcefully keep Venti alive (against her will mind you).
The Azuma gods are directly imparted with bits and pieces of Viatrea's own powers.

The end result regardless is empowered humans, but naturally Azuma's are much more potent.

>>713673546
>Make mistakes in their godly duties and live tortured by the knowledge of what you've done long after it happened
>Outlive everyone you know by generations, doomed to be relied on to fight against an inevitable death of the region and by extension yourself
The godly suffering doesn't have much of a focus put on it in this game, but the problems persist in concept
Hell you're given the option to turn into a god even if you're married to a human. You're already setting yourself on the path of loneliness. Your kids will die before you, as well as their kids.

>>713674012
It's not really just Ulalaka (even if she was right), Fubuki doesn't feel 'dignified' enough, Kurama has a hard time coming to terms with hurting people for the greater good and dealing with the fallout, Matsuri wasn't taking her job seriously in the slightest and only focused on the "fun" parts, and Kanata is Kanata

Why didn't Venti just turn on her dragon rage and go FOOLISH MORTALS, YOU DARE DICTATE HOW I LIVE OR DIE AND EVEN HAVE THE GALL TO SACRIFICE MY BELOVED COMPANIONS FOR YOUR RESEARCH THAT GOES AGAINST THE DIVINE ORDER?

The Japanese idea of a god is pretty loose regardless. If Clark Kent landed in 1600's Japan, they'd probably have enshrined him as a kami and pointed to him being able to fly around and shoot beams as reason enough to do parade's in his honour. Super-powered humans or enormous flying beasts, the difference is minimal from a Shinto-inspired view-point.

>>713674257
That's just the gods feeling self conscious, as far as all the villagers are concerned they're doing excellent jobs

>>713674306
Because then they'd stop giving her pancakes

I think Kaguya's white hair looks dumb on all the kids

>>713674165
Fubuki brings up a human couple he knew generations ago who are now long gone, and he isn't all that miserable about it. The Azuma Pantheon appear pretty good at staying separate enough from humanity as to not to end up distraught when they're gone. Whether the protagonist will be able to obtain that same wisdom is yet to be seen, of course. As to marriage, yeah that sorta sucks. Frankly a 'gods only marry gods' rule sounds like the smart choice but I suppose that was already touched on in Ula's story. By and large though, I'm pretty optimistic that Subaru and Kaguya will be fine a thousand years from now.

>>713673886
Not all of them are human I think.
Ulalaka is a tree
Matsuri is a sword
Kurama is a bird (monster)
Fubuki is a wolf (monster)
Kai is an oni (monster)
Kanata might be the only one that was a human, maybe that's why she's their leader.

>>713674257
Kanata is actually doing the best job as the local deity.
Her emotional maturity just isn't up to spec.

>>713674306
Venti is kind of a pushover. And it took a few hundred years of anguish before she finally decided to put her foot down.

>>713674348
"Gods" in Japanese mythos typically just denotes a nature entity. It can be an actual greater nature spirit that can exterminate mankind with a snap, or it can be just the spirit of the puddle you stepped on. The concept of pantheons still exist though, and the entities on the upper Japanese pantheon are more in-line with the western presumption of what gods are.

It's also worth noting that according to the official RF memoirs, there exists a classical Abrahamic Judeo-Christian religion within the RF universe. The churches you see in RF1 and 2 are adherents to them. So there might actually be a true (tm) creator god even higher than the Divine Dragons.

>>713674257
I think it's kind of hard to call them genuine fuck up's though. The Celestial Collapse was pretty bad, sure. But it was entirely out of their control and they aided to solve it after-ward. Going a step further, if we compare them to other pagan pantheons- Be it Nordic, Greek or Celtic- They're actually far more helpful and benevolent even with their self-conceived failures than most of those. You don't see Ula starting wars for funsies or Kai descending to have his nefarious way with noble daughters. I'd go so far as to say that they're better than most of their mythical inspirations, even. Amaterasu is an even bigger crybaby than Kanata is. Add that they all improved over the course of the game and that's just more points in their favour.

>>713674882
Oh no, I wouldn't consider them fuckups at all, just that they're not Native Dragon levels of "detached, serious, and put together"
I like them better this way

It's kinda funny how Iroha gives a tear eyed "I'm sad you're leaving!" when I head for the Summer village, only for her to end up in my party the second I hit the open fields

Why the FUCK do all of the cooking facilities have to be their own blocks, christ I hate this furniture system

>>713675105
Yeah that was kind of weird when you think about it. It's like if your childhood friend heard you were going to a neighbouring town and had a freak out that you wouldn't be back. (the neighbouring town is ten minutes away).

>>713675234

My houses were neat and tidy

>>713675234

You can combine them into one later on. But, yes, it's annoying.

Also, jesus christ, get this mod:

>>713675234
I love how they slapped a waifu2x filter on the 2d assets they probably lost the original art for and just called it a day, low budget dev gaming at its finest

What's the general wait time between Rune Factory games? This one did just come out but my greedy self wants more.

>>713675432
It's why I stuck with the 3DS version, honestly. It looks like ass. Thankfully someone finally made a mod to fix it.

>>713675432
>Do it again for 3S
Now this is Japanese gaming

>Aw shit we lost the original assets and high res stuff
>Fuck it lets just run an upscale and call it a day

>>713675432
They had to have lost the original files, there's literally no other reason for the Special version to have doubly compressed model textures unless they had to rip them and reimport them.
>>713675489
6 and this game were announced at the same time. So keep that in mind

>>713656662
>Wanting Veyron over the Hound
Ew no, he’s an ugly beta old man. If they actually pulled this shit I would riot.

>>713675489
The longest gap was between 4 and 5 so you have a good idea everyone was so disappointed when RF5 finally released

RF6 and GoA were both announced together so far nothing else has been said about RF6

>>713675489
the games used to take like 2-3 years to release but then rf5 took like a decade to release. GoA only took 4 years or so, and RF6 is supposedly being codeveloped so who knows when it'll release

>>713656662
I don't think he has quite enough going on to be a bachelor choice, but I wouldn't say no to it. Though the fact that he's entirely devoted to Clarice could end up feeling like you're a third wheel.

>>713675656
wasn't the series supposed to have been canceled after 4? I remember something happening that basically meant "no more rune factory"

>>713675752
Neverland went out of business
Not even RF4 could save them, they were already too far gone

>>713675578
>>713675656
>>713675693
Good to know. Here's hoping RF6 will be sooner rather than later then.

>>713675752
yes, 4 did not sell enough, money ran out and the original studio that has done every game from 1 to 4 was shuttered.

>>713675889
>Here's hoping RF6 will be sooner rather than later then.
Be less hopeful about the proximity of its release, and more hopeful that they took the correct lessons from the disaster that was 5. Thankfully, GoA shows they learned a few things at least.

>>713674882
>But it was entirely out of their control
Well their jobs were to keep Azuma's runes flourishing enough to make the collapse unnecessary, so it happening again was their fuckup, though it's also only fair to cut them some slack what with the recruitment agency hiring a murderous psychopath into the team, forcing the six to clean up his mess and making them down one man.

ignore this I'm a dumbass

>>713675531
>Do it again for 3S
3S actually looks fine though.

>>713676093
To be fair they weren't told that was their task, nor were they even aware that the land was in such a perilous state. Only Kanata knew and she didn't tell anyone and instead tried to solve it all by herself. Adding those factors to Fubuki's brother being a mass-murdering psychopath definitely doesn't help like you yourself said. The least the tree-computer could've done is give the all an instruction manual on their job.

deepest lore

Should i make two characters? One run for 1 wife and another run for harem and achievments obviously without the homos ofcourse.

>>713676989
You can't have a harem. You can do a timeline shift mechanic post-game that lets you date alternative choices in alternative timelines, but you can't just date everyone. Just do one run through.

>>713676930
Ikaruga's only there to retrieve the sacrifice amulets and stop goobers from using them, not really to fix the celestial collapse shithole

>>713677041
Its not divorce? If it is i lowkey would feel way too bad about cheating on my favorite grill

I kinda want to stay in Azuma instead of going back to Adonea/Norad desu, or at least maybe go to a completely different continent again

>>713676989
You can't have a harem and you can just do everything in one save file because you can just timeline hop.

>>713677225
It's literally just an alternate reality version of (You) getting with someone else, with all the dating you did in the original timeline being retconned

>>713677237
Agreed, Azuma is fantastic. I love this aesthetic, it's a nice change to the Euro one every time

>>713677237
but muh euro farms...

>>713677225
It's not divorce. You will have to see your favourite girl now having no real romantic feelings for you, I guess. But it's an alternate her and an alternate Subaru/Kaguya so it's kind of whatever really.

>>713667636
>Cuilang is catered to women’s tastes
>Cuilang
If they really wanted to cater to women they would’ve made Hound the DLC bachelor instead. What exactly do you mean by this by saying a glorified walking vibrator “caters to women’s tastes?” Do you not realize how insulting that sounds?

>>713677237
Has every game since 1 really only taken place in one country/continent? Kinda nuts but Pokemon did that too iirc.

>>713677237
I'd like to stay in Azuma too, though I think the only real hope there is that the spin-off becomes a full fledged series in it's own right.

>>713677507

>>713677392
As someone who'd like Hound too- I think bringing him up in every thread whenever Bachelor's are mentioned is just going to provoke dislike against him rather than any positive attention from the anons here. I also don't think the person you're replying to is necessarily wholly wrong. The devs may well have assumed Cuilang would've been more desirable to the female audience. All the bachelor and bachelorette's, after all, are tailor-made to be desirable to the player-base. Them evidently not inferring Hound would gain such traction isn't a point against that. Furthermore, Cuilang's fine. Reducing him to a 'glorified walking vibrator' is a bit insulting to those who did in fact romance him and enjoyed his plot-line. Guy gets art, guy gets discussion, he's a cool puppet mayne.

>>713678037
>I think bringing him up in every thread whenever Bachelor's are mentioned is just going to provoke dislike against him rather than any positive attention from the anons here.
Isn’t that a double standard considering how much they bring up wanting to plap Venti, Livia/Radea, or the Hags?

>The devs may well have assumed Cuilang would've been more desirable to the female audience.
Cuilang’s design is handsome and I can see how that would appeal to women but they had to make him a robot why exactly?

>>713678267
the same reason they made pilika a quarter bear and have her get a mental breakdown because she's literally cannot trust herself, let alone other people

>>713678267
>Isn’t that a double standard considering how much they bring up wanting to plap Venti, Livia/Radea, or the Hags?
But unlike them, you are insufferable about it.

>>713677392
If you don't understand how Cuilang caters to women's tastes then you're not a woman
Scientifically engineered for maximum moe

>>713678267
The implies people crying about Venti and Livia constantly aren't annoying. I just leave them alone because I get it (and less forced than the Hound posting even if I want Hound)

>>713678267
Most Venti, Livia, etc posting comes in the form of a few arts and people proclaiming their love for the character. Which I doubt anyone would mind people doing for Hound. The position taken with him is however a lot more antagonistic as of late in these threads. More used in assailing replies rather than in genuine sentiment for the character. 'I love Hound' is a good mood to share. 'Fuck everyone where's my Hound' is just kind of bitter. As to Cuilang being a robot- I'm not sure that's quite so terrible? I get that might not be to your specific vibe, as it isn't precisely mine either. But it wouldn't be the first time in human history that the male romantic lead of a story or piece of fiction happened to be an android of some sort. Look at Sasori from Naruto for instance. Massive fanbase, total puppet man. (Honestly I think he's who Cuilang was design-wise based on, even if their personalities are very contrary). It's a niche point of appeal to give him some extra flavour. Which will be good for some and not so good for others. But that's why there's multiple bachelor choices. Something for one person, something else for someone else. Everyone wins.

>>713678267
The difference is that they're just posting about liking the characters whereas you're autistically seething about disliking an existing popular one while also showcasing your complete lack of reading ability.

>Totally cute.
Thanks, fren. Your babbies are cute too.

>>713679135
What are Cuilang's nickname possibilities for Kaguya? I personally thought Kai being able to call her 'dumbass' (in affection) was really funny.

>>713678359
>Pilika being a bear
That’s absolutely not comparable, bears have their own free will and aren’t literally programmed to love and serve only (You).

>>713678557
>>713678709
>Robots cater to women
How though? It just breaks immersion because you have a literal in-game automaton who you KNOW was built and programmed only for (You). Women don’t like that, women like the chase, they can’t do with a glorified cumdoll onahole the way men can.

>>713679983
>Women don’t like that, women like the chase
Nigga have you seen Twilight and Love&Deepspace?

>>713679983

>houndtroon is not only not a woman, but hasn't even played the game

>>713680159
this specific anon you're replying to just says the most retarded shit, he's the dumbest shitposter here

>>713679983
He's not programmed and built only for (You)? What made you think this exactly? He's essentially an apathetic young man who has incredible difficulty understanding human actions, emotions and feelings- Precisely because he isn't human- He's with-drawn and out of reach with flesh of porcelain and a heart of gears, yet with every step and gesture can Kaguya or Subaru clear that void and take his hand. There's a lot of romance appeal there, and winning him is definitely an experience worthy of under-taking. I've said prior in another response that he's not my favourite myself, but to say that he wouldn't allure anyone seems a little silly. You even have another person replying to you who clearly loves him quite a bit. Isn't it crass on your own part to try and deny them their affection for the character because you don't personally see it?

>>713680203

Absolutely love every RF game, but GoA just isn't clicking for me. I get that it's an experimental game where they're trying new stuff to see what works for RF6 and all that, and it's not even the lack of crafting that's putting me off from it. I'd say it's the farming+social stuff.
Farming doesn't have runies anymore so harvesting crops doesn't have that oomph, there's no rush when you harvest an entire field and get tons of stat ups and stuff. It's also way more fast with everything growing in just a few days including rare flowers, so it just all kind of falls flat.
Social stuff on the other hand just feels weird. There aren't any actual conversations, with instead everything just being a single comment or quip. In previous RF games everyone usually had enough to say each day to fill several dialogue boxes, whereas in GoA it just feels sorta generic stuff on a rotation. I get the meat of the stuff is in the character quests, but I dunno.
I'm 15 hours in and just got to the winter village for what it's worth, and wanted to hear other people's impressions.

>>713680981
Plus if she becomes God of Azuma, it makes her his boss too, which will probably awaken new fetishes in him.

>>713681015
I think we all agree with that, and it this had come out before RF5 we'd be way harsher on it but RF5 was JUST THAT BAD that we are ignoring GoA's flaws.

>>713681047
Being dominated by powerful women does seem to be his way of life. First a Restaurant Owner, now a Divine Sovereign.

>>713681143
Even so, I had no problems sinking 100 hours into RF5 at all. Performance issues aside, all of its systems made it play like RF4 but with less content and more clunk. I haven't gone back to GoA in over a week, but part of that might be trying to max crops and getting autistic about village stuff instead of just doing more of the story.

>>713681015
Honestly while I can acknowledge that there is issues, it's clicked so well with me that it might be my GOTY. It's just incredibly comfy and I love the cast. Experimental stuff won't be for everyone though. I figure RF6 will at least address your feelings in regards to the farming, though social is harder to say.

>>713681313
Opposite for me, I've never finished RF5, at most I've gone as far as getting Ludmilla and then I just had no interest in continuing. I tried playing a second time and got bored before even reaching that point.

You can get like 300~1000 All-Purpose XP just from farming/chopping trees daily, to invest in your skill tree that needs 44,730 total XP. I AFK'd in Village Builder Mode with a rubber band over my analog sticks for 2~3k daily, and like half your endgame RP is locked behind it. Overhead View for crop sowing/watering/harvesting is a must for the next game.
Some of the hang out options have dialogue, like dining at Yahciyo/Iroha, sharing a parasol in the rain, or hugging, but while it's simulated, it does add more options besides Greeting Spell > conversation > liked/loved gift of series tradition. On the other hand, gifting is still optimal (+16 or +24 for a liked/loved gift, +5 homemade bonus, 495 points for Lv. 10 = up to 3 weeks minimum) since it consumes less in-game time and gives more points to actually let you farm or dungeon crawl. Once I got to Winter Village, I'd find I'd have less than 6 in-game hours to do anything after hanging out with everyone before midnight struck and starting HP/RP draining, because I wasn't optimally gift giving. I had to forego farming and figure out how to source gifts, and it was only toward the second half of the game where my free time opened up to do more in a single day.
At least gaining bond levels is super quick as aforementioned, and unlike RF4's RNG daily town events or RF5's location-based system where you were locked into a single event for a few days, you can progress multiple character events simultaneously. Only issue is dating everyone simultaneously, since your intimacy will get reset with the Rewoven Fates feature to seek out other marriages.
Town decorations can offer some meaty stat boosts that eclipse the old item/rarity level system, I think I'm at like +3200 STR and +4800 INT before the post-game dungeon. Forging is kind of a let down since it seems to be capped at +60 ATK or +20 DEF x 8 upgrades, with pretty expensive costs and material requisites (discounts on the 10th, 20th, and 30th).

>>713682729
At least it’s not like Fubuki where Kaguya outright admits she’s jealous of Ulalaka because Fubuki talks about her so much…

>Social stuff on the other hand just feels weird. There aren't any actual conversations, with instead everything just being a single comment or quip.
How does the dialogue compare to My Time At Sandrock?

>>713682220
I will probably remarry Ulalaka 6x to get all the Subaru Ulalaka child variants.

>>713682776
Sister Spring is too bountiful. How can we compete?

It's a pity RF6 won't have dancing be a main component again. Shrine maiden shit is really neato and aesthetic.

>>713682871

Absolutely criminal

>>713683219
Abusing the same soil too often is bad for it. Let it have time to recover.

>>713683317
Well, in this context, Subaru is the soil and Ulalaka is the farmer.

Are your kids earth dancers?

>>713683403
Lala is mpregging Subaru? Terrifying.

>>713683530

>>713683472
Probably not

>>713683472
Probably not? I'm not sure. If you married a deity, then your first kid is probably a demi-god at least. Second one full divine if you then became a god yourself. Sovereign presumably would be able to bestow Earth Dancer status onto anyone, maybe deity status too. That aside it's all a bit vague.

>>713683317
*Drums*

>>713683472
Not sure about the earth dancer I like to imagine the youngest being able to talk to spirits like her mother.

>>713683680
why do you want your child to be mentally ill...

>>713683825
She's not mentally ill. Neither is Pilika.

Azuma is currently lacking it's lightning deity due to Fubuki's brother being a moron, so there technically is a vacant position that Sovereign Kaguya/Subaru could have their mortal love interest fill by deifying them. I'm not sure if they can just create new positions on the spot though, since we know gods are sustained by having a populace to believe in them and domains to preside over in Azuma's territory. This is repeatedly suggested to be essential (minus for Hound I guess, somehow he's able to stay super strong with no village to love him. Maybe being feared works for it? Idk.). It'd be nice if they went into what being Sovereign entails more rather than just having it be a last second add-on at the end of the post-game dungeon.

>>713683951
Well, think about it. There's one rune factory element missing that just so happens to match with your unique treasure
Love. (You) become the deity of love

>>713684062
I'm not sure the sovereign has anything to do with love, for the simple reason that Fateweaver Shrine already seems to fulfil this role. It is, admittedly, missing it's local deity. But Matsuri's dialogue makes clear that the power there is incredible and that the god it must belong to must be very powerful. Dialogue that takes place before the protagonist even takes on Sovereign status. I actually have a theory that Iroha might've been intended for it, since she gives you a new version of your bond sacred tool. But that's pure conjecture and certainly not the case in the finalized version.

>>713684419
Iroha's handmade fan apparently counts as the Sacred Tool of Love and she gives you Love Crystals for your birthday.

You cannot deny it anon, Iroha is the Goddess of Love.

>>713684725
wtf does the love element even do on weapons

>>713684725
>gives you Love Crystals for your birthday.
so do my kids, that doesn't make them love godlings

>>713684725
Suzu is the Goddess of Love
Irohag can't compete

>>713684725
I mean it feels like that was where they were going for it, but they never pulled the trigger so I can't say it as fact. The existence of Suzu also seems to undermine it. That being said if a DLC revealed it to be a fact, I'd say it was reasonably foreshadowed.

>>713684095
Ulalaka-sama... easy on the dango...

>>713684419
Your final social skill is God of Romance, (You) are the Love God

>>713684835
That's a skill you can get without ever becoming a god so I'm not very inclined to take it as serious evidence.

>>713650274 (OP)
>girlfailures
Back to your containment board, tranny retard.
>>>/lgbt/

>>713684749
In previous games, Love Element weapons boosts taming success rates and healing. Some enemies are also literally weak to the power of love (element).

In Azuma, I'm not even sure if Love exists outside of Iroha's fan.

>>713685015
>In Azuma, I'm not even sure if Love exists outside of Iroha's fan.
There's a weapon set you can unlock the recipes of at Fateweaver Shrine that have it.

>>713685015
Theres a singular batch of weapons you can craft with it. One for each type. Recipe is on one of the outermost isles.

Kaguya, Hina and Iroha seems to be the most bullied heroines, but there's also quite a lot of people that stand up for Kaguya and Iroha.

Meanwhile, Hina...

>>713685235
I legitimately see the appeal of Iroha and Kaguya even if they aren't my personal favourites.
Hina can go fuck off though. If Julian becomes a bachelor in RF6, I will bro the fuck out of him and tell him that he dodged a bullet.

>>713685235
there's no japanese oji-sans in this thread

>One of the best bachelorettes in RF1-3 were the Azuma imports
>Worst bachelor(ette)s in GoA are the Adonea imports

>>713684939
(You)'re basically made and destined for the role, making it valid

>>713685392
But Clarice has "holy SEXO I want to be the Earth Dancer's wife" eyes, only hina is bad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV6l2zmOC50
It's funny watching this when all the previous impossible tracks have been absolutely cancerous. Seems like they eased it up for Hololive for some reason

>>713685548
b-bwo!? wrong tab

>>713685548
Wrong tab...

>>713685290
Is Hina that bad

>>713686138
Nah, he's just a Julian self inserter

Didn't expect Kai to rise in the bachelor ranking this much. He's pretty much top 3 or 4.

>>713686138
She's just a bit boring really. Nothing special. Her stuff Julian doesn't really matter, as she never showed interest in him romantically in RF5. Feels like people wanted to force her to get with him to something lol

Iroha is…
>The first girl you meet
>tutorial girl that gives you your farm
>is the one that shows up during the marriage tutorial popup
>is who the MC automatically thinks of during the climax.

She is the intended canon wife, cope CFshitters!

>>713686526
>is who the MC automatically thinks of during the climax.
L-Lewd.

>>713686138
>Is Hina that bad
She's kind of a girl boss and can be a bit obnoxious, disappointing considering she is returning from RF5 and her personality is very different.
Then she makes constant nod-nod-wink-wink references to 5 which get old and seem dumb in the context of the MC of this story having no idea what she is talking about. She tries to act secretive and mysterious but it is pointless since from a meta-perspective we already know her deal already.

To be fair, this is very SEED like

>>713686776
They could've at least made her do cool shit and seem competent. But she's about as much of a goober as everyone else.

I think the English Hina voice has a really bad laugh that repeats when you chat or hang out with her.

>>713687585
Yeah I don't get it, when she wasn't fawning over you, she was a little shithead

>>713686526
Not only that, Iroha technically also assists you for half a year before the start date of the game.

>>713685235
>There's also quite a lot of people that stand up for Kaguya and Iroha.
Iroha is the diligent, friendly, reliable girl. Ulalaka is a milf-styled personality and the others are various tropes, tomboy, kuudere, tsundere, etc.

I think Iroha's main issue is that she is redundant with Kaguya who is basically the same thing with a bit cooler personality but is also a childhood friend.

>>713687892
Mistranslation, it's just two weeks, but yeah.

Kaguya looks nicer with dark hair desu

>>713687892
>half a year.
That was a quality translation fuckup btw.

It was half a month. This isn't about localizers improving on the original script. Its about them literally being unable to understand elementary level Japanese. I don't even know how this mistake could've been made.

Why does she make hugging sound so lewd?

>>713687941
I like the normalfag mortal angle they were going for her. It was actually a story related worry for her that she was fucking worthless, especially compared that to the rest of the cast that were either literal gods or highly trained superhumans.
Her lament of powerlessness is tied to her own insecurities of being a small town country girl too, but the girl has as lot of heart and was willing to pitch in whatever she can give, hence the heartfelt scene where the branch got upgraded to her handmade fan.

And come the climax of the story in the darkest moment, it was Iroha's wish echoing through MC's mind that gave them the strength to push forward.
That scene was a nice touch that ingrained Iroha's character as quite central to the story itself. In a cast full of supers, it was the wish of the one relevant completely normal girl that served as the backbone of the climax.

>>713688338
>That scene was a nice touch that ingrained Iroha's character as quite central to the story itself.
Nah it was just typical cringe RF canon waifu shilling, no different then how they tried to push Shara in the second RF3 opening after you had already married.

>>713674687
>It's also worth noting that according to the official RF memoirs, there exists a classical Abrahamic Judeo-Christian religion within the RF universe
Frontier and Tides too. In 4 when Venti wonders about the rune spheres, Lest/Frey will say that God saved her because she didn't give up.

>>713688338
Based Iroha warrior.

>>713688148

>>713688653

>>713688923
Probably because of laws, or more specifically not wanting a higher CERO rating

>>713688984
>Churches raise the CERO rating
Literally how?

>>713689189
muh religions controversy

>>713688148
>>713688782
This woman should be stopped

>>713688923
In Frontier Mist also talks about God with a capital G, and iirc Stella literally has a line about whether you need to do good works in order to be saved.

>>713688923
>>713688984
It's doubly stupid because alcohol and cross imagery are still a thing in the games just fine.

>>713687648
I hate that fucking giggle

>>713690017
Crafting drinks is explicitly a story quest this game even

>>713690083
I was surprised she seemed so popular with how much I hate listening to her giggle

>>713690369
>Popular

In what Azuma.

you guys are using EN dub?

>>713690516
Yeah, japanese woolby was just too much
I'll take Seteth from 3 houses over that

>>713690516
I'm tired of hearing Junichi Shitwabe and Yuki Kaji in everything. Whoever did Kai in Eng was fresher to my ears. Mauro sounded like shit regardless though.

>>713690414
Isn't she high on the achievements? Does /v/ have any poll that changes every second for best girl?

>>713690516
I like the EN dub for quite a few characters so far, and have heard that most dubs are at least good.

>>713690778
Steam global achievement list goes 1. Ulalaka 2. Kaguya/Subaru 3. Kai 4. Fubuki 5. Hina at the moment. So yeah I guess she is relatively popular actually. Go figure, I'm genuinely surprised.

Behold, the tastes of the common PC player.

>>713690939
>1. Ulalaka

>>713691087
Mauro would be more popular if he was fat and gross like the rest of his family

I would marry Porco desu

>>713650274 (OP)
I like her share umbrella scene where her actual character breaks out of the cumbersome stereotype. She's cute.

>>713650274 (OP)
The way half the JP cast say Earthmate as "arse mite" always makes me chuckle.

Wish that if you didnt romance the Kaguya/Subaru, there was a special "best friends" or "childhood friends" path that still had platonic quests to rank 10. I think the past should be fleshed out regardless of whether you get with them or not. It's critically important to the main plot, after all.

>>713694582
considering one of them can get perma fridged, their past really isn't important outside of what we learn during the Astral Shrine quest, any additional details are just flavor text

>can't really decide on a wife throughout the game
>see Clarice duing the celebration party
>she is THE ONE for me
Damn it, need to get her up to Bond 7 now. At least I found THE ONE for me like Raven from 3 and Forte from 4.

>>713694582
>It's critically important

Is it? You could take Subaru or Kaguya out and still have the same story just with the black dragon acting on it's own. They're really not that necessary to each other beyond being a neat 'hey the other protag exists' thing. Honestly I even feel like it'd have had more emotional weight if you didn't get the weak ass 'yeah you can get them back if you give up some money I guess' and they just didn't survive that fight.

>>713692158
>Mauro would be more popular if he was fat and gross like the rest of his family
He would be more popular if he wasn’t such an annoying flamboyant faggot and didn’t have such a generic design, he literally looks like a clone of the RF5 protagonist.

>>713694916
A neat change would be
>have to choose between killing Clarice mid-Godslayer to save Kaguya, if you try parrying it it fails and kills Kaguya
>can only get one or the other

>>713695540
Clarice isn't very developed at that point, but yeah that does sound like a better idea than what we got. Anything with actual stakes would be better than the black dragon wanting your wallet.

>>713695540
A neater change would be
You can romance Woolby.

>>713695775
The other options are stupid, too. It's easy to regain experience and relationship levels. Should've required locking out one of the treasures or something.

>>713695782
Only if he stays in wooly form.

>>713695869
Wooly and dragon form, with him getting spiritually tasered every time he tries to take human form while Subaru tells him it's cool because a wooly is fine, too.

>>713695942
Human woolby would be more attractive than every male in this game, I can tell. Intuition.

>you can choose woolby's gender
>voice changes
