Anyone got advice on how to maximise my village income?
Feel free to share your village creations or talk about the game in general

Spring Village: Crops
Summer Village: Shops
Autumn Village: Rice
Winter Village: Fishing

If you just need gold, sell the materials you get.
For early money Tsubame's requests give you an exotic medal you can sell for 10k.

But if you meant it just for those village quests. Make shops and assign villagers to them. Then ofc remove those shops after you get the quest XP, since most shops are useless (flower shops being useful for selling crystal crops that you have a quest to grown and harvest 300 times)

My love, Dolce.

If you gave into the seduction of the big tiddy ara ara pink succubus Ulalaka instead of holding out for the precious cinnamon roll Kaguya, you are NOT my nigga. But I hope Marvelous takes to heart her popularity and puts some shortstacks in RF6.

Legitimately didn't know that. She's honestly my runner-up. This is why I pirate. Fuck paying for incomplete products.

game is fun /v/ lied to me

>>715436151
/v/ has been super positive about the game from day 1, what the fuck are you smoking

>>715434758
I killed her (playing the male MC) because it just didn't feel right noone dying in this game.

>>715436362
You're a heartless bastard if you wouldn't sacrifice everything you have (probably like one day of income) to save best girl. But I understand your point. It's hard to care about the characters when you know there are no stakes.

Still, what the fuck, man?

How is Azure compared to RF 3/4/5?
Does it have plenty of post game stuff? That was the best part of 3/4 and 5 had almost nothing of worth.

>tfw easily blow past Arc 2 because from all the crafting and grinding I did waiting to get married and have a kid before starting the arc
>try out Sharance because I feel like hotshit and Memories hasn't started yet
>immediately get my ass beat
Welp.
I hope Rune Prana is somewhat easier so I can start grinding mats there and making new bullshit weapons
Also damn, I can't imagine replaying RF4 as Frey if only because of how much I've been spoiled by Meg's healing spell

>>715428293 (OP)
Make a huge rice economy

I just want them to succeed but I don't wanna feel like a faggot whilst doing it cause I'm here for the waifus

TURNIPS
RICE
BEES

>>715436674
Even funnier than that, you can blow all your money on ingredients and village buildings and gear while stocking up several days of goodies, and then do the sacrifice while you have like 800,000 gold worth of stuff in the shipping bin,

Is there any downside to telling a girl "I love you" or does it lock me out of later romances?

>>715438768
Fubuki, Cuilang and Ikaruga are the ones that are blatantly in love with (you) pre-dating. The others range from slight crush (Kurama) to platonic bro (Kai, Murasame). Dunno about Subaru since I'm playing Subaru.

>>715438936
You can date as many girls as you want, but you're better off sticking to one because the alternate timeline dating feature post marriage resets all romantic bond event progress, so you'd end up repeating all of those romance events you already saw if you try marrying someone else

>>715438936
You can go through the dating events with as many characters as you want at the same time but you'll only be able to marry one while the others go back to the pre-dating max intimacy level you reached with them, which makes dating multiple people a waste in case you want to then use Rewoven Fates to marry someone else.

>Rice
>Turnips
I'm new to the game, if I have a lot of farmers will they auto replant the rice and turnips or do I have to handhold them the whole time?

>>715439209
>if I have a lot of farmers
AAAAAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE
Farmers are useless, don't have them farm.

>>715439209
Farmer villagers are fucking retarded, don't bother with them and do all the farming yourself via overhead mode

>>715439303
>>715439319
How do you guys have your villagers set up then?

>>715439424
Don't listen to the autists. Let your villagers farm rice in Autumn village. It's a massive headache to do it yourself when they're more than capable. Just don't leave low-level seeds in your inventory if you don't want them to plant them.

>>715439424
Anything BUT farming, if I need logs more loggers vice versa with stone and so on

>>715439424
Spring Village - manual farming turnips, lots of trees for lumber, some shops
Summer - shops galore, some fishing
Autumn - RICE RICE RICE I WANT TO MARRY SUKUNA
Winter - shops and fishing

>>715439532
Rice is a whole different story, it's fine because there's no conflict of seeds. But even then it's a waste if you want to grow lots.

>>715439712
Having wood cutters and miners is good for materials so you can make buildings/decorations whenever you want, but it's pretty trivial to only have seeds you want farmers to plant. They default to only planting seasonal crops in their respective villages. The exception is stuff like golden crops that don't have a preferential season, so if you want those, you're better off growing them yourself. But everyone complaining about farmers being retarded is just too lazy to clean up their inventory.

I honestly have to respect just how fucking hard he went for that salty runback
Shame all of his underlings have literally negative IQ

If you wanted to optimize your spaces for stats,
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/483102-rune-factory-guardians-of-azuma/81008838
You can have +31 additional barns, chickens are more profitable than bees.
Rice is a giant waste of space, manually farming Golden Turnips is better.

>>715436852
Azuma has worse besides marriage. The Azuma quests are okay, but fishing and mushrooms are pretty RNG timewasters, with narrowing the Sky Island-fishing exclusive ones pretty obnoxious. The post-game dungeon is locked behind marriage + 1 kid, so 14 + 15 days of waiting if you waited for Kaguya/Clarice.
You need to see all of the marriages for the in-game achievement list, but it's all viewable in one playthrough via Rewoven Fates; it's still 15 marriages x 14 days of sleep spam though.

With in-game RF5 days taking 48 minutes than 36 in Azuma, the wedding > 3 weeks > do u want baby? > 2 weeks > pregnancy announced > 3 weeks > birth loop is a lot longer to sleep spam through, but you've only one shot at it without multiple saves. While it takes SNEED points to unlock, RF5's post-game dungeon has Orichalcum drops and lets you actually refarm the bosses. Extra Directives let you increase monster levels (then tame a Lv. 25000+ wolf mounted by a orc in the Winter region? and then delevel to steamroll with it).
Shipping log 100% is one task you can do, which is absent in Azuma.

Wonder if it even does much or if they're still useless

Best weapon type or do you usually switch it up depending on foe? I'm partial to long swords though they feel very slow

The devs of this game were some sick motherfuckers, even if I already had the prime cheesing weapon of a glitta augite buffed spear, and millionstrike

>>715450771
Cute and canon

How about choosing the actual CANON wife Iroha?

>>715436852
3 had a post-game?

>>715455372
Keeps talking about business and making money

>>715456231
Sharance Maze I suppose
Grinding that was fun, especially by cheesing it as Sophia who could very easily turbo boost herself with failed dishes

>>715455595
Canon wife Iroha with the canon MC Kaguya and their canon gay turnip babies!

>>715460827
Straight heterosexual romances are canon, Male MC + Iroha is canon

>>715457167


You could call that being married to your job or a capitalist there's nothing inherently Jewish about making money or being invested in the business you own.

>>715464046
I've long since learned no matter what you do you cannot get between a merchant and her money.

I wish the town management didn't suck. There's too few pieces that feel like they go together, and plots are either too big or too small.
