Why did Sakuna suddenly become Japanese Shovel Knight and just start having crossovers with everything?
I get there's actual new Sakuna stuff being made so they want some kind of brand awareness work being done but outside of stuff with great synergy like Rune Factory, a lot of the other stuff feels like there's little discretion involved other than putting her in stuff. It's like I'm going to wake up one day and see she's being added to Call of Duty.

The important question is, can you romance sakuna?

name 3 games

>>715413049
>Smash Ultimate
>Metallic Child
>Rune Factory as seen in OP

>>715413330
That's it? Still 2B baby.

>>715412691 (OP)
it's got a cult following in japan, it actually won an award for how autistic the dev's research into rice growing was
>>715413049
sakunny

>>715413440
2B is a fucking Square Enix character of course a character from a major publisher would have more leverage in licensing.

>>715413623
And Shovel Guy isn't? Are you kidding me? Don't get me started on the investors who put money behind Yacht Club. I'll give you a hint, it ain't Kickstarter bux, those are just accrued to garner investor interest from the (((Keebler Elves.)))

>>715413764
She looks like she wins awards from Japan's ministry of agriculture.

>>715412691 (OP)
and speaking of, why does shovel knight have crossovers with everything? I've never heard of anyone playing that game, be it irl, online forums or streamers

>>715413049
cute feet

>>715413000
No, it's pretty bare bones
She will plant/harvest rice for you and you can have her join your party for combat but you can't change her gear
She's basically a background NPC since she only has a few lines of dialog
I forget she is even in the game until I randomly see her working the rice fields

>>715413000
Isn't she literally a fertility goddess? I mean she's a goddess of rice, but still.

>>715413000
No, Rune Factory is a western game now, so no loli romance but faggot romance OK.

>>715414240
Offpsring of a harvest goddess and god of war.
She alledgedly gains power from all sorts of grain, but rice was just easier to farm on the demon island in the game.

>>715414240
those are different words in moon runes

>>715414313
Speak for yourself my waifu is pretty much a child.

>>715414416
Clearly an adult woman. Rune Factory is pozzed now. Surprised the 3 remaster didn't remove the "problematic" bachelorettes.

>>715414016
>I've never heard of anyone playing that game, be it irl, online forums or streamers

Back when the game and it's expansions launched there were threads here about playing it.
I played two campaigns (shovel knight nd plague knight).

It's pretty good

>>715414240
She is a goddess of harvest/war.

The more bountiful her harvest is, the more powerful she becomes.

>>715413330
>>Metallic Child
Is it fun?

>>715415457
Average at best.

>>715412691 (OP)
There aren't really that many.

>>715415512
Well that's a shame.

>>715415591
>>715415457
It's functional and all, but gets a bit dull in long run.
Could be a worthy cart filler during sales.

>>715412691 (OP)
She's currently Japan's most successful indie character. God, just looking at her makes me want to whip my dick out.

Sakuna of Sex and Pregnancy!

>indie success story.
>official manga followup.
>spinoff game + a sequel in making.
>anime adaptation received positively
>2nd season of anime in production.
Is there anythig she can't do? Aside from breastfeeding?

>>715416059
>Is there anythig she can't do?
Revive her parents.

>>715412691 (OP)
It's just Marvelous stuff isn't it?
Also you have to admit Sakuna is a masterpiece of character design.

If you regularly cum on the water the rice seedlings are using before the planting season, and then do the usual growing and harvesting afterward, the effect will be passed on to Sakuna and she can't help but feel horny whenever she sees you

>>715416059
They're doing a second season of the anime? What could it be about?

>>715415794
She's Hakurei Remu?

>>715416653
Maybe adaptation of the manga?

>>715416789
None of ZUN's games have ever sold a million copies.

>>715416653
I'm guessing original story that will tie into the inevitable sequel game.

>>715412691 (OP)
There is currently problem with rice in japan, they are not producing as much as they used to and it keeps going down, so they are pushing Sakuna hoping that it will lead to young people wanting to work in the rice fields

>>715420045
It's not a human labor problem it's a fucking climate problem. Outside of getting Asia to eat a different type of grain there's not a lot you can do about the planet getting warmer.

>>715412691 (OP)
i don't mind, she's super cute and the devs deserve the success for making such a soulful little game
all chars voiced by naomi ozora are peak kino

>>715412691 (OP)
Is Sakuna (game) good? I've been eyeing it since release but I expected a sub 10€ discounted price and it does not seem feasible

>>715422065
Yes, her game is good, I can recommend it.

>>715422065
It's worth the price over 10€.
Heck, I bought it full price and didn't regret it.

>>715417167
Yeah.. but Sakuna is not a cultural icon! She doesn't have gorillions of fangames, fan albums, fanart pieces, and doujins.
>>715415586 this is a start, I suppose.

>>715412691 (OP)
you can't say that about Sakuna because her game is actually innovative and fun

Imagine Sakuna with a preggo belly, her powers would be amplified many times over with that symbol of fertility.

>>715416059
Why didn't the game get a DLC if it was successful?

Sakuna lolibaba cunny

>>715422242
>>715422346
Thanks anons, anything I should know before playing?

>>715424323
Don't overdo with fertilizer. You might be tempted to fill the funny triangle fully, but overabundance of nutrients leads to overgrowth and that is bad for quality.
You should also focus the fertilizers to growth stages. Root fertilizer for seedlings, kernel fertilizer while they are on 1st-3rd offshoots, leaf fertilizer when sprouting.
But that compost autism is for like your second or 3rd year when may have materials to dump into the compost pit. First year is meant to be the "what the fuck am I doing" moment for both you the player and Sakuna.

>>715424323
Sakuna is an alcoholic moeblob.

Oh, gameplay wise? Sakuna strength in combat is directly proportional to how well you do the farming aspect, the more rice you have produced the more powerful she will get, this means that if you can't beat a stage you can simply wait for a while until you get more rice to make sakuna stronger, remember to always make good use of fertilizer and make every step of the rice process yourself.

There will be a moment when sakuna will become absurdly strong, and you will literally zip around the screen killing everything with lighting fast attacks.

>>715424304
I am going to pump so many demigods in there.

I love fundoshis

>>715424743
OR I could dup 500 units of rotten food all over the rice

>>715424323
Also, at one point you'll get a dog that allows you to send your friends out to gather materials for crafting, cooking and compost.
As story progresses and you find more friend exclusive gathering spots, you should dedicate some time to "waste" a dog on the baby Kaimaru, who gathers literal shit, BUT at certain gathering spots after going deep enough through story he'll find additional dogs so yo ucan send more gatherers out at same time. Also some other animals can be found.

>>715412691 (OP)
Because they want rice with every meal.

She already got a DLC crossover with IRL

>>715424323
>>715424743
Oh, and regarding the compost autism.
Don't add fertilizer when it's about to turn to night time. The rice won't gain any stats of the additional ingredients during the night. That bit needs sunlight.
You can make compost at any time, but add it in the bright hours.

God I love Sakuna. I want to have at least 30 kids with her

>>715425574
30? She is a goddess I'm sure she can produce over 300000, I will make an entire country with her.

>>715425574
>thought it was just suggestive and she's scratching herself
>translate text and she's actually masturbating
Guess she does it so much it got boring, not surprising if there nothing to do most of the time out in the boonies.

>>715425574
Why is her hand down there

>>715424743
>>715424873
>>715425021
>>715425273
Thanks frens, screenshoting everything for future reference

>>715412691 (OP)
Oh damn. They're adding Sakuna to Rune Factory?!

I might have to pick the game up now. I've been itching to get the game, but this pretty much seals the deal alright.

>>715425019
Jesus Christ anon, spoiler tag, please!

>>715426616
>Oh damn. They're adding Sakuna to Rune Factory?!
Yes.

Don't get too excited. She is just a tag along companion. More like a pet. No romance.

>>715427086
She farms your rice though

>>715426616
If you get the game keep in mind that she's free DLC, you have to download it separately.

>>715427086
she can also compete in competitions which is funny

>>715412691 (OP)
>game published by Marvelous
>gets put into other Marvelous games
Imagine that. Though fuck Marvelous they did not deserve Sakuna.
