Your FINAL opinions on Rune Factory 4?
Perfect game desu
good game but can't fuck the dragon.
>>719815758It's the best RF game even with the RNG bullshit found in the original release.
>>719815758I've played better dungeon crawlers.
Better than silksong
>>719815758I think it was the last good Rube Factory
>>719816396how in the fuck is this a dungeon crawler
>cant marry best gril (the dragon)
>>719815758Would have been better if they didn't try to appeal to women and cut down the number of nachelorette's by half
>>719816607>game progresses by crawling dungeons>somehow not a dungeon crawler okay buddy
>>719816495Nothing is
I'm still mad they didn't let me marry Venti, Livia NOR Radea, fuck whoever was the retard who took those decisions.I had a lot of fun with GoA tho, maybe 6 will be good too.
>>719816898so is ocarina of time a dungeon crawler
I was too retarded to understand the crafting system and got filtered by like the 4th or 5th dungeon. The girls were also kind of bland but Dolce was peak so that's fine
>>719815758>No Dolce shitposterEnd of an era huh.
>can't romance dragon>cant romance detective flower shop elf girl>swimsuit DLC locked behind pre order bonus.Loli butterfly girl is best though.
Some of the most refined mechanics, but also the beginning of the end. Female protagonist ruined everything, and the series hasn't recovered.
>>719817150Obviously
>>719817593Yes yes but discount Saber though. Just fed her ice cream it's fine.
Wife?
It was okay, I didnt really care for how events were handled, but atleast it wasnt what RF5 did
>>719816880This. I understand that it was an obvious decision given how much women love farming sims, but it still sucks.
>>719818023>proposes to youLiterally how could I refuse?She deserves to be held and cuddled every night, forever
>>719815758>try pc port>encounter some bug making it unplayable (can't remember what it was now)>keep checking patch notes for fix>nothing >forget about the game and move onit's probably shit anyway as you never can romance milfs in these games
>>719815758
I wonder if I should play it again. How is the PC version? Last time I played and beat the first 2 acts by the 1st day of summer. This was on hardmode too on the special version. When you know what to do to autist grind crafting, the game is just so easy and fast to go through.
I was playing 3DS version and proposed to Xiao and she actually accepted.Then the next cutscene started and the game crashed.
>>719818996She really cant catch a break huh?
Sometimes I feel like Clorica is the least popular bachelorette
>>719819389Why would you want to spend the rest of your life trying to wake your partner up even in the middle of a fight?
>>719819694I'd like to spend the rest of my life taking a nice mid-day nap in the sun with them, instead
>he doesnt want his wife to use him as a pillow at all timesShe is literally built for snuggles, no matter the location
>>719815758I had fun with it, but the town event system is dumb and the way logs and stone are handled is beyond retarded and tedious I should not have to spend the whole day in Arthur's office constantly pressing the inventory and throw buttons at the materials box I smuggled in just to get enough materials to upgrade my farm and or home
I love Meg, even if having to do five fucking town events to marry her was bullshit
>>719819997>stone are handled is beyond retarded and tediousI often spent like an our to buy/store them when the real prince had them on sale, and that even with bringing a vault next to his office´s table
>>719819828my nigga
>>719820231During the early game I even had to bring all the shit to Linfa's inn for RP refreshing, since I was too poor to afford buying the processed version and had to manually chop down all the base wood and stones over and over again to save on cash
>>719818164>Literally how could I refuse?By remembering what in-laws you'll be cursed with.
>>719820882All the more reason to get her the fuck out of thereDeadbeat dad wont show his fat fucking face around anyway
Rune factory will peak when they add visible pregnant bellies and the ability to rub said bellyThey should keep and expand on the GoA interaction thing
>>719815758It's the FINAL Rune Factory.
>>719820957Her mom's terrible too
>>719821070Xiao continues to farm pity points, even without her being there
One of my favourite games. There are all these newer farming sim games, but I can't get into any of them, I'd rather just replay RF4 instead. Thee others just lack the charm the series had.I admit, after seeing the state of 5 after all those years of hope, I just gave up on any new games from them.
>>719821230So its your duty as a man to make her happy despite her awful family
>>719821350Have you tried Guardians? That seems to be the beginning of an upswing.
Bug > Chloroform > Ghost Blowjobs > Shoe Pie > You get to eat all the eggs > Everything else > That retarded elfThere. I said it.
GoA was good, simple asRF6 has a prime opportunity to steal like half of it and they really shouldRF6 should have the biggest dorks ever created
>>719821413lol no it isn't
>>719821413Marvelous are finally cleaning up their act what with how solid both GoA and GB are
I tried to get into 4S but the bafflingly retarded AI upscaled sprites are so, so bad…
6 will let you fuck the dragonTrust the plan
Forte best girl
>>719821587I wanted to fuck the bun.I got robbed, AGAIN.
I love my exceedingly fertile elven wife
>>719821413No. The most I did was look at the character designs, and I'm sorry, but I just found them bland compared to designs from RF games, which put me off.
>>719821759She likes to watch
>>719821682I would've fucked Woolby desu
>>719821939Meanwhile the dragon wants to go for a third right away
>6 lets you fuck the dragon and have dragon kids>but she is a hag with milkers that put the pink rapist to shameWould you still?
>>719822050>>719821939>the two long lived marryables are the only ones with more than one kid What did the devs mean by this...?
>>719821587 Based take. GoA had goofy charm oozing out of every pixel-the kind of dork energy RF has always flirted with but never fully committed to. If RF6 wants to survive, it needs to embrace that same chaotic nerd squad energy. Give me the socially awkward blacksmith who only speaks in haikus, the mage who’s afraid of spells, and the bachelorette who's too into ancient potato spirits. Go full dork or go home.
>Suddenly, just nonstop shilling for guardians for the past 10 minutesLook, I understand that you're payed to do this, but fuck off.
>>719815758marriage with dragons
>>719815758too much rng.
>>719819828Clorica is so pretty. I need to play this game again for her, I never finished nor got to marry her.
>>719822720You'd immediately back out of marrying her had you actually gotten to the point were you could
>>719815758I just wanna say I played Rune factory 1 ds for curiosity sake and it was awful. Never play that and 2 probably isn't good either right? Rune factory 3 and 4 were good
Man, they got away with some wild stuff back in 3.
>it is impossible for you to like this game that came out recently after the disaster that was 5, so you're being paid clearlyMaybe its time for you to take a nap and let your medication take effect.I love my little mochi ball btw
posting bug on bug day
>>719815758Xiao sexo uoh
I havent played RF3 Special yet because I know they changed their voices and I still have their old voices in my head.
Every time I play I tell myself I will make different choices and yet am repeatedly seduced by small green girls
>>719822480I am currently making concept art for a rf-like game I want to make, with the first character being a dork, a black haired catgirl witch with eyebagsThe reason I made her a catgirl is because on the first date she passes out from nerves after you catch her prince charming style, on the second date she is given a potion from her mentor that supposedly boosts her confidence, but because she is a beastman, it puts her in heat instead and she ends up rubbing herself all over you
>>7198228312's has this issue of locking parts (most?) of the game away until you have a child.
>>719822197Would even harder
>>719817758But 2, with a female protagonist, released before 3, thoughever
>>719823236Same
>>719822516>payed
>>719823441I remember RF1 having the same issue of some much stuff time gated too it made everything feel way too slow
>>719823695RF2 took that and made it much worse because the father character is basically a year long tutorial where you can barely craft or dungeon crawl
For attention: a reminder that Chako from Cave Story is a shortstack with big tits (canon).>>719815758Cool game, cool series, been into it ever since Harvest Moon DS added that combat dungeon with the sword and fell in love with Rune Factory 1.Still feels like the farming aspects are tacked-on with no thought, even after all this time, and I doubt they'll ever fix that. Every game, there's this whole farming bit but half the time it's basically worthless because you get better/more shit from the combat instead unless you go full-autism with the crafting mechanics, but then most of the best materials to use in the crafting mechanics ends up being found via combat anyway.Also 4 needed a "hook" like 3 did with its Smokin' Sick Style combat with the Wooly transformation, I legitimately don't remember if 4 had a hook at all.It's a crime that you can't marry Venti, or forcefeed her pancakes until she explodes.>>719822831The hype was real at the time though, even if my memories of it have kinda faded after all this time.>Harvest Moon DS comes out>there's a dungeon where you use your farming tools to dig through floors and there's enemies in there too, so you whack them with said tools because there's no actual weapons in the game (it's fuckin' Harvest Moon)>secret reward: a fucking sword>entire fanbase goes nuts, wants more shit like that>Natsume panics, wants to capitalize on the hype>rushes out Rune Factory in about a year later>pretty barebones and very unpolished, literally just Harvest Moon with some RPG mechanics slapped on>people still generally like it since it's HM, but RPG>end boss is a fucking tankStill, just skip to 3 or 4. If you can, play the Special versions since they have more content and fix most bugs.IIRC, RF4 non-special has a bug where the "find more shit" skill is actually the "find less shit" skill, ha.
I think you guys are faggots, I played RF1 some years ago and had a lot of fun with it. Yeah, it's outdated, but it's a game from 2006 after all.RF2 was good too, the generational shift locking you out of all the crafting/cooking/upgrading/etc was bullshit though, Hopefully they make it better if they ever work on a RF2 special.
>>719823761Anon, you can reach the timeskip by summer of the first year if you feel like it in 2.In 1, you gotta wait until winter to enter misty bloom no matter what. And god help you if you miss any sidequests involving misty bloom.So how is 2 "much worse" here?
>>719824285Maybe at the end of summer at the earliest, if you minmaxYou have to wait for your wife to have the kid, remember? That takes like 17 days, so the majority of a season
>>719824431and I forgot about building the school, which requires 1000 wood and 100k gold
Still one of my favorite games ever made, very likely the fourth one in my top 9. Farming sims peaked with RF4 for me, and no game has reached the same heights, with the exception of 3 Special since it added Another Episode content and Japanese voice acting (which also applies to 4 Special).I still remember the day when it became available digitally in EU for 3DS after the initial news of it having been cancelled, I deleted everything else I had on my SD card to make room for it, and it was instant love at the very first bootup. Rock solid performance, next to no load times, constant pace of getting stuff done, SO MUCH SOULFUL DIALOGUE HOLY SHIT, playing it was and still is an absolute joy. And I never even dabbled into all the crafting autism, I just love all aspects of the gameplay. Putting up your own store, managing the inventory and being able to make Jones ask for a Lolita Headdress and me charging him extra for his fetish cosplay wear is still making me giggle internally.I love it.
>>719826068I always wanted to insert my dick in her mouth while she was sleeping.
>>719826509>she's dreaming about eating a corndog
>>719815758Amber's the best girl in the series and it's not close.
>>719821413I haven't but the consensus seems to largely be that the gameplay is bad.Also just kind of ugly looking and without portraits.
>>719821587I love all these goobers. Next main game would do well by restoring some of the autism in the gameplay but they have their work cut out for them if they want to match the cast of Azuma.
>>719815758Legitimately a 9.5-9.75/10
>>719819694She's for people with a sleep rape fetish (me)
>>719824431>>719824620You can easily marry Yue or Dorothy before the end of spring. Cecilia & Alicia, too. And the quest board dumps all the money & wood you'll ever need on you. You never need to cut your own wood before trying to build the world's deepest barn. There's a reason they timegate the crafting autism: so you'll actually DO those jobs. Really, the one thing they absolutely shouldn't have made exclusive to the post-timeskip was the seed maker.
I really enjoyed it.
>>719828630you still have to wait an entire season for your kid to be born and the school to be built because that anon neglected to mention the 10 days the school takes to be builtso even if you speedrun marriage, you have to wait the 17 or whatever days for the kid to pop out and then the 10 days for the school to be built after that, so you're stuck with a thumb up your ass for an entire seasonand unless you married best girl Rosalind you get no new wife dialogue that entire time (she's the only one to get daily pregnancy dialogue for some reason)even then I'm not sure how quickly you could marry Rosalind if you tried
>>719829279>People are STILL repeating the rosalind lieShe had a couple drawn-out pieces of dialogue. That's it'.
>>719829472better than everyone else, who had 0
>>719821565Why is Forte eggs? I don't get it
>>719830238she likes egg dishes
>>719830365Ah fair, I never bothered to gift her anything
what happens after marriage
>>719831476benis in vagina
>>719821972>>719821759She wanted to be breeded too so bad
>>719821413No it's bad.
>>719819389I defaulted to choosing her because I didn't really care for the other bachelorettes.Would've picked Venti if she were a choice though. Fuckin devs...
>>719819389She was by far the last popular in japanRF is a fujo series btw>6 VentuswillNyooo
>>719832784>lastLeast.I need to check my posts before clicking post
>>719815758I remember very little. The Farming was lame and I didn't like the Pastel Chibi styleThat Aryan Knight Warrior Princess was the best waifu though. I remember here parents got got or something and she had to be strong for her siblings and I think she likes chocolate.I would breed her
>>719832514Truly baffling to make the main heroine of the story not an available choice.
>>719821682They better. In GoA we get to fuck the shy wolf boy, a neet tengu, a secret agent fox girl, a bear huntress, an underworld Oni demon, a redhaired robot man (kinda), and a monstrous big titty pink devourer of Subaru's RP. I won't forgive them if they deny us fucking a dragon next time.
>>719821682If she's not as good as Livia, it's too late.
>>719832784>amber by far the most popular heroinehow does she do it bros
>>719832872Despite the Runey system, Frontiers was a comfy melancholic vibe. I really liked the bachelorettes.Seeing this version of Stella pop up was spooky, surreal, but very cool.
I would end countless worlds for Venti. I have no idea why that stupid dragon lives so rent free but it did a hard number on me. No other farming sim character ever did as much damage to me as her. I never played rune factory five, but I just can't into the full 3dness. The specials I can deal with because it has rhe same camera angles but I'm too autistic to play a farm sim that isn't just that just-off-top-down angle. Not even HM64 makes it past this hard autism of mine.>>719832784>>719819389Kinda sad because I thought she was gently adorable. The butlers were all cool and I wish the old man butler was an option too. He got a couple smiles outta me.I've not seen anyone go all in on the letterbox though, that letterbox was more charming than most of the girls.
>>719833657If you actually do her scenes, it's kind of hard to deny she's the best girl in 4.
A dapper SELPHY from Frontier
Rosetta!
>>719833720Same, it's so fucking frustrating. To this day I'm STILL mad.I'm even worse since they pulled the same whit in RF5. With BOTH dragons in that game.Even EVEN worse because they DLC was real and we even had their actual marriage voicelines in the game, but they never made it (probably because they had to spent all their dev time fixing the game instead of working on it)
>>719834043I can't forgive 5 without a direct apology in terms of content in 6 for how spiteful it ended up being.
>>719832784>fujoYume
giant wooly, absolute KING
>rabbit harem>can't marry any of themLame.
>>719829279Why the fuck did Rosalind alone get bonus dialogue anyway, you'd think she and not Mana was the main girl with that favoritism
>>719835279Rin clearly wants in too. Bunny girl DLC when...
I don't know...I mean, I like Rune Factory 4 but...arent they, uhh, "woke" now?
>>719815758The number of love interests being cut in half to make way for a female protagonist marks the point the devs decided that the farming spinoff for dudes should pander to women instead and the quality went with it
>>719817072They had to make the way for 6 dudes please understand
I just wanted a dragon wife...I don't think that's too much to ask for...
>>719835856Wasn't there files in RF5 for dlc for some girls?
>>719836105Yeah. Livia, Radea, and Terry.It got canned probably due to the terrible development and poor reception to where they'd rather just take the loss than keep working on it.
never actually "finish" this game because their idea of town events is RNG garbage and getting married is too much of a pain in the ass due to it. tell me when someone releases a mod to fix it.
>>719836201If GB is anything to go by, they finally learned how to use Unity at least
>>719836434Azuma was Unreal and it was also nice, I guess RF6 could use either.
>>719836105Yeah, you rike?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p8iqMqta6U&t=194s
>>719836557They even got the gays and fujos angry because of Terry.Literally everyone got fucked because of RF5.
>>719837401I'm going to breed with this loser.
Just started RF2 some days ago.Mana is so fucking cute, bros.
>>719837540
>>719815758The waifus are so bland and generic that it actually killed my enjoyment of the game, such a thing doesn't happen is other RF games because there is at least 1 wacky ass lunatic waifu or token japanese girl which are the ones I marry but in 4 they are all so fucking BORING.The crafting and dungeons are fun, specially the crafting, RNG events to progress in the story is fucking cancer, and yes, I'm still mad I can't fuck the dragon.
>>719815758cool game but the end game content is very repetitive
>>719815758Probably the best farmsim out of all of them. I got bricked tf up when Forte called me baby. Then we had a baby. Her and I are so strong we beat down everything together, really great and I'll always remember it. Because of this I'm getting a real job and gonna impreg some hottie asap then I'll convert my big yard into a mini farm maybe.
>>719836557>chumy heart

Wow, the perfect Dolcefag thread and he didn't even show up.
>>719815758based
>>719815758I struggled to find out how to progress so I got burnt out and dropped it.
I ended up skipping it cause the girl I liked the design of wasn't a romancable heroine and you also couldn't romance everyone at the same time up to the point where you pick one to marry which is cringe.
>>719842002it's literally anime runescape, how do you fail at progressing? go chop some trees
>>719815758Sex with Margaret
Any one have that Pico ghost blowjob edit?
>>719815758I like how you can bend the game over and break it in a thousand different ways if you're creative enough
Some things never change...
>>719815758It would have been perfect if they added the option to romance the dragon in the special edition. The devs KNEW a large part of the player base wanted that because they added that little What If story you can find where you married the dragon.
Inshallah they deserve a stoning for not letting me marry Lin Fa, Nancy or Lumi.

>>719836557RF5 special sisters trust the PLAN
>>719840774Now that the dust has settled, did Julian truly deserve this?
>>719846804No one deserves this.The worst part is we sacrificed Julian for a chance to fuck Hina and she somehow ended up being a downgrade from RF5. I ended up marrying the tanned dork.
>>719846804I never played 5 but did they really force fag shit?
>>719846804>tfw forced to kiss Priscilla even when I'm dating Beatrice At least the Pink has SOME shame if I'm married to her instead
>>719816112>cant fuck the dragon
>>719846893Some dialog was glitched so you could get some of the kid and the bara's romantic dialog if you weren't datingCharacter events weren't entirely divorced from romance like they were in GoA either, so some feel more gay, like Martin's or some of the girls'Most of the pissing over it was just because they added gays at the behest of localizers instead of fixing performance issues though
>>719815758I liked it. No I loved it.
>>719846893More like half assed its implementation.The dialogue doesnt really care or acknowledge your gender at all the obvious "be a prince for the girls" event still calls you the prince even as the female avatar.A lot of romance events start at the center of the town square.And as theres a natural "Get everyone to 5 hearts" achievement, so you're encouraged to at least talk to the townfolk to get it done.Problem is, they can start saying gay shit around then, even if you wouldn't care for it.BIGGER PROBLEM ISYes, the bara homo furry or brownladyboy might have his event stacked ontop of the female events, AND YOU HAVE TO CLEAR HIS FIRST in order to at least push him to his next lv event out of the town square.So yeah you might gotta be gay if you just wanted to clear that ingame achievement.Only upside is if you choose the female avatar you can go in the women's bath.No even with the change gender option in game they'll still call you what you chose at the beginning, again they really half assed this shit.
>>719846893I talked to a dude once in RF5 and he flirted with me also the martin event was gay as hell
>>719846804He'll get his revenge, just wait until RF6.

>>719847410The sad part is that you can just get in the woman's bath as a guy anyways just because the game is that ridiculously made.

>>719815758>can't fuck the grannydragon>grannydragon's human form isn't a GILF but a retarded loli without the babatrash garbage
>>719815758Good QoL improvements and new gameplay additions.Story was alright and mostly carried by the sheer duration of it lasting throughout a save file.Mediocre love interests and certainly a downgrade from 3 in this department.Lackluster town and dungeons.The downfall of RF as a franchise because Marvelous, after putting out 4 soulful games (RF 1-3 and Frontier), finally bent the knee and caved in for fujo bucks.RF3 was the last real RF and RF4 was the last fantasy farming sim with good gameplay.
Love this game even though its clearly a DS game that was touched up and made for 3ds and then lightly touched up again for modern platforms. Something about it just works well.It kept me sane during a hard time in my life. I had a 3ds in 2013 but only heard about it on here much later. Is guardians of azuma worth playing? I cant imagine it lives up to RF4.
>>7198157583 has better characterization in its girls(and better girls overall)also Micah >>>>>>>>>> other niggascan the other protags fuck their waifu as both a human or a Wooly with a huge dick?thought nothe's even mastered the art of sex wrestling3's aesthetic is also better, but 4 is still a fine time
>>719849605It's better than 5 that all I can really say about it
>>719849605>Is guardians of azuma worth playing? I cant imagine it lives up to RF4.It's really fun, I enjoyed it a lot. It actually rekindled my hope for the series because it's clear they are actually listening to the community and took into account the anni pool they made some years ago.Of course, it's not a mainline game, so don't expect RF4's depth. You're better off thinking about it as Oceans 2 rather than a mainline game.
>>719849605No reason to craf err purchase weapons when you auto collect material since everything dies so quickly.No tracker for items shipped.Farming is intended to be automated but the npcs that do it are kinda slow and it ends up being better to pause the time and water every field yourself.No real point of having diverse crops for gifts or food since theres a ton more stock interactions you can do and the way you eat food now is just in the pause menu.The game game is just a massive step back.They really did perfect the gameplay with 4. Sucks they moved away from it.For all the bad however I do like about 80% of characters themselves however.
>>719815758>harem shitIt's for genetic dead end perma virgin losers.
>>719815758Good Game.The waifus were not that good tho.
>>719850325What? How did you unlock the harem?
>>719821565woo woo
>>719850325This is a christian monogamous game series, sir.
>>719823516That's not the same thing, just like Tides of Destiny isn't either. A lot of the interactions in 4, 5, and even GoA are treated as if they are love interests.
>>719850325What harem you stupid 15 second nigger?Change the fucking batteries on the smoke detector, parasite.
>>719818164>>719823052
>>719851435He is obviously talking about his harem of palm cats and faeries.
>>719815758Gay game
>>719815758Classic, haven't played it yet
>>719850828If you want to be pedantic, gay marriage existed way back then too because the female protag from 2 could faux marry the twin girls along with the boys
>>719852698So it didn't, really.
