I just picked this game up because I saw there was a DLC for Sakuna and I love the rice goddess loli. Is it any good? I've only played RF4 and I loved it a lot, spent 100+ hours in it.
Also general RF thread.

>>3796404 (OP)
Yes it’s good so long as you’re not a crafting autist who only plays these games to fulfill your crafting autism. (But if that’s the case you should really be playing something like Atelier over Rune Factory anyways where crafting is actually the focus, RF has always just been an extension of Harvest Moon and is focused on being a life-sim first and foremost), most regular people only play Rune Factory for it’s social and dating sim mechanics, and in that respect it’s as good as any other Rune Factory that’s not 1, 2, or Tides.

Also now that our generals have been kicked off of /v but Rune Factory is finally back, /rfhm/ general revival WHEN?!

>>3796550
I did like the crafting at first in RF4, but I'll admit toward the lategame the crafting grinding got a bit insane.

>>3796604
Are you the OP? You should post this thread on /v/ too, you’ll get more traffic there.

>>3796606
Getting more traffic from underaged summerfags posting cropped Zelda porn isn't a very appealing prospect.

Played the game for the first time and it crashed immediately after the first boss. Incredible.

>>3797212
it never crashed for me, I had stutters and lags when there was a lot going on the screen but never a crash

>>3797212
I beat it on the steam deck without a single crash, that's wild.

>>3797745
>>3797976
Yeah I couldn't find too much info on crashes either. It's weird because my rig was running it just fine overall, it's not the strongest PC ever but it runs pretty much anything out there just fine. Just got done playing the RE4 Remake on high graphics just fine.

>Can’t do this with Hound
Shit game.

>can do this with fubuki
100/10 best game every made, will name my children after him

It’s a 6 out of 10. The game is “fine” or “okay.” I wouldn’t go so far as good but that’s just me. It starts out fun but gets old before you roll credits.

What are you comparing it to? Other JRPGs? Action RPGs? Life sims? Harvest Moon/Rune Factories?

>>3799993
I’m not comparing it, or I would have mentioned a comparison. I am scoring it off of its own merit.

anyone knows how to find this dungeon here?
it cant be the post game dungeon, thats at the end

>>3800178
I think that one's the Old Village. You fly there and it's not a dungeon, look for the random light pillar

>>3800341
nah, it isn't I already visited it
exept if there is another dungeon inside there that I missed

>>3800346
Another dungeon? It's just basically a room
No, not the place you rescue Ululaka from, it's the old village you and the other MC came from. It's one little map with a shrine, some non-quest archery targets, and a hidden chest you find with the staff

>>3799361
just once I want a yandere bachelor in these types of games, but not a shota one that’s gross

>>3800421
>thinks shotas are gross
What are you, some type of normalfag?

>Director keeps retweeting MC/Hound fanart, including ones outright begging for Hound DLC
What does he mean by this?

>>3801951
white(haired) women....

>>3801951
keep your mental illness on /v/

bros I beat post game and still haven't found that location, what the hell is going on?

>>3802441
I'll check my list when I get home this evening

>>3802441
it's ??? village where you go to buy ??? seeds

>>3802487
I wish more farming games did mystery seeds, they're fun
I think it's just Stardew Valley and ToT/Animal parade

oh no, the old lady got prosessed by fubuki

>>3802441
You didn't explore the sky islands?

>>3802775
>turns out if you never manualy land in spring village, that point of interest doesn't get unlocked even when you originaly start your jurney there
thats dumb

>>3802532
IT HAPPENED AGAIN, she is speaking tounges

>>3796404 (OP)
5/10 game at best.

Has fuckall to do with Rune Factory so if that's why you bought it, might as well refund it.

Combat is garbage. Farming barely exists. Crafting doesn't exist except through predetermined menus. Story sucks.

About the only thing half decent about this game is the village building if you care about that but even that is limited and not that great.

I have no idea why anyone talked about this game at all. There are way better games to spend your time on.

>>3803043
Oh yeah, the spring skies teleport location
I didn't find out about that until almost the end of the game

>>3803171
Shut the fuck up, retard.

I love RF and I just started playing this last week, and I love it. It's definitely different from a mainline game but it is by no means a bad game, or "not RF".

MOGGED

>>3803171
>Combat, Farming, Crafting and Story
Absolutely none of those things matter in a life-sim and are tacked on window dressing at best. What really makes or breaks a Rune Factory is the social life and romance and family aspects. Are those well-done with lots of dialogue and interactions? Well congratulations you have yourself a good Rune Factory then!

I really liked the Viatrea lore dump desu
Really have to wonder were the fuck the games are going next after RF5 and GoA's developments though

>>3803310
>>3803775
Both of you are retards and only a retard would play a farming game for the life sim. They are called farming games for a reason. The life sim portion only exists because at the beginning of the genre, there wasn't enough things to do without adding that in.

I have played farming games since the original harvest moon on SNES and the only time I've given a single fuck about villagers was when a festival was going on or something is locked behind talking to them.

The fact that you dick suckers think that is the main pull of these games is retarded. I will give you that AT BEST 50% of the base likes or cares about it and most of that 50% are women who would be just as happy playing Animal Crossing which also has fuckall to do with Rune Factory or anything like it.

>Features
>Adds the ability to adjust village farmer behavior in the Options menu. You can now toggle the following tasks on or off: sow seeds, water fields, and harvest crops.
>Adjusted the volume of certain lines for Zaza and Woolby in Japanese.
>The Sacred Sword can now harvest crops over a wider range.
>Added new warp points for Spring Village’s and Autumn Village’s development zones
They unfucked the game bros, well for switch players anyway, pcbros have to wait.

>>3803951
That's funny because pc got the last patch first

>>3803775
the dialogue and interactions aren't very good compared to rf4
3d was a mistake

>>3803989
Over the shoulder 3D was a mistake
>tfw we could've had a watercolor-style game in the vein of the doraemon sos games but in minako iwasaki's artstyle
I've said it once, and I'll say it a thousand times
We were robbed

>>3804024
For Harvest Moon maybe, that style can fuck off for Rune Factory

>>3804031
I would rather have it and have it look like 1, 2, 3, and 4

>>3803934
>The life sim portion only exists because at the beginning of the genre, there wasn't enough things to do without adding that in.
>I have played farming games since the original harvest moon on SNES
I can tell you’re an LARP zoomer because if you weren’t you would know that the original creator of Harvest Moon, Wada, always intended for the series to be a life sim first and foremost and it’s actually the exact opposite of what you first claimed. Hell, some of the games entries he’s directed such a A Wonderful Life or Save The Homeland barely even have farming.

You want a pure autistic farming simulator than go play Farmville, the genre has never been about that and you know it.

>>3803989
>the dialogue and interactions aren't very good compared to rf4 3d was a mistake
What does it bring 3D have to do with anything? Are you implying no 2D portraits makes it less immersive or something?

>>3804209
the reason conversing with NPCs is sluggish and limited is because of the 3d models/face to face camera
that's why there's no group dialogues outside of scripted cutscenes and why they wouldn't waste lots of dev time scripting such cutscenes for miscellaneous events throughout the year

>>3804262
>the reason conversing with NPCs is sluggish and limited
How is it limited?

>No group dialogues
There is though, you just have to put certain combinations of characters in your party.

>>3804209
Except no one gives a fuck about what he intended. In the end, it's the farming part that's interesting. This retard is the same guy who fucked the whole series over time because they couldn't envision the idea of giving freedom to the player and got quickly outclassed by other games as soon as any rival hit the market.

Even on the SNES, it was funner to try to see how many berries you could carry from the forest to your bin before the day ended than it was to find villagers and hear what useless bullshit they have to talk about. The furthest I've ever interacted with that system is picking out a wife from all the chicks available and only because I consider it part of beating the game.

>Director still retweeting Hound bait shit like pic related
Really what is his motivation for this?

>>3807323
suffering

I miss harvest moon...
