There's two bosses back to back at the end, that'll be the only trouble, and they're pretty underleveled since they're at the end of a sort of marathon area.
And the other guy has it right, once you can get Pineapple seeds, start farming them, and best to stagger the days you plant the fields so you're not spending all day watering, harvesting, planting, and shipping.

There's no one aspect that Rune Factory does well among all its aspects.

>combat action
>social/dating sim
>farming

RF does each at a 5/10 at best... so why not just play a 10/10 action game, a 10/10 romance game, and a 10/10 farming game all separately instead?

Once you start the 2nd arc, you'll find an area blocked by Mushrooms.
Talk to the woman in the house nearby, and one day she'll mention the path is cleared, then go gown the hole and fight the boss down there, he'll drop a Dungeon Seed.
In general, don't ignore Eliza's quests.
If you pick one you're not ready for, you can choose to abandon it with no penalty and select it later.

The other anon isn't joking; the runes you get when picking crops levels up random stats and pineapples are the best at generating them.
But if you don't have them yet or you want to focus level it all you can do is spam crafting items and then level them all to 10. The upgrade material doesn't matter so just throw in all of the random sticks and stones you pick up, or iron ore since that's pretty easy to get too.
If you do this method instead of selling all your useless equipment give them to Bado. I believe it's every 5 handcrafted items you give him he gifts you a random item.

an ice cream truck would come by every day in the summer and ride around and he would give us employees free ice cream. playing this and eating my Blue Bunny Big Bopper Vanilla Flavored Ice Cream Sandwich© was some of the most content id ever been in my life. at the time i knew it wouldnt last forever but i wish i knew just how badly id want to go back to those simple times.

>RF 5/10 for it’s social and romance aspects
It’s literally the best in it’s genre, mogs the shit out of all other lifesim games with the amount of dialogue and events it has. Name 5 games with a better social sim or dating mechanic (that aren’t just visual novel dating sims) than RF4, go on.
>>
>>721046923
If you want more 4? 3. 5 is fine content wise but there's a bunch of bugs and performance sucked last I played, dunno if it ever got fixed. 1, 2 and Frontier are fun too but noticably dated.
If you hate farming and crafting then go for ToD or Azuma, those are more story/romance/RPG focused.
>>
>>721047143
>RF peak at ToD
You mean Frontier, Tides is literally the worst in the series barring RF1z

>>721047575
>If you hate farming and crafting then go for ToD or Azuma, those are more story/romance/RPG focused.
Azuma, Oceans is actually the worst one for romance alongside 1 and 2.
>>
>>721047370
It's the only thing left Marvelous has announced and hasn't released so probably soon.
>>
>>721047431
I absolutely love 4, and I would not recommend 5 to most people. The main thing is that it's too damn slow, they slowed down how time works in game so that it takes 2 seconds for an in-game minute to pass instead of 1. And as little as people talk about RF combat, it's butchered in 5. Moving around feels weightless yet somehow awkward at the same time, attacks are stiff, they removed almost all cancel windows on most skills and attacks while simultaneously giving absolutely broken cancel windows to a select few moves. Trying to get certain amounts of wood or stone for upgrades was a nightmare, I still remember teleporting around, looking for stumps to chop in the overworld. The best part of the game is the fact that late game, you can fly and be a jackass that rains meteors down from the sky without any cost.

I love this game, but act 3 sucks so bad. It always ends up souring the whole experience when I'm done with the game. I can never bring myself to just stop playing after the end of act 2 though.
>>
>>721047431
>is 5 honestly not worth playing in you love 4?
It’s honestly fine, people just got filtered by it’s performance on the Switch (fixed for PC version), it’s ugliness, and the poor implementation of gay marriage XSNEED forced Marvelous to add in.

It’s better than 1, 2, and Tides at least.

>Implying anyone plays these games for the farming
It’s always strictly been about the life and dating sim elements first and foremost, otherwise you might as well just cut out the middle man and play a pure farming game like Farmville or Farm Simulator 89.

Even series creator Yasuhiro Wada has stated the social elements were always supposed to be the main focus and the farming was just a convenient backdrop.

gifts have a daily limit to them. If your chem level is high enough you can cook up some friendship potions until the character of your choice is begging you to put a ring on her

>>721050021
Chocolate is only a liked gift. Her favorites are cake, chocolate cake, union stew and omelet rice. Also, you can only give one gift of each level per day for it to count. One neutral, one liked and one favorite.

GoA seems to have been very successful and made them a lot of money. Post-release DLC is very rare for RF.

They want this game (and Grand Bazaar) to pass 1M. Plus the demand for DLC from Japanese players has been very high. I bet they calculated that leaving the game dead until RF6 and GoA2 was a bad idea because development time will probably take a couple more years. Especially with DxM being a failure, they need to turn these two games into a hot IP.

So you're saying that the game having cutscenes is the ONE part that isn't watered down?
And that the activities that are literally labeled "Social Activities" aren't actually social activities?
That's mindblowing.

What's funny is that those parts still feel lacking compared to the old games, I miss the 2D art, because there are so many places outside of the cutscenes where they could have used them. Look at Tales games. These use 3D models and they don't even show the accessories or hats you gave them. It makes the customization feel utterly pointless. Can't even do one thing right.

Turnip seeds need a better sickle and soil quality which is from what I know is locked behind story progression because new resources and fertilizer all that, as of now I only upgraded my sickle once and I have like level 4 seeds, I basically only have Iron or the other metal after that been a while since I played

You can upgrade your equipment, but you can also just level up your other skills because each skill level up boosts some of your stats a little. Also, harvesting crops sometimes levels up a random skill, so farming is a useful activity too.

Rune Factory 3 is much better.

The girls are far superior and the premise is much better. I hate that in 4 you are mistaken for a prince so that your farming to earn a living just seems like a rich kid playing around.

I've been playing more of the Azuma endgame. Kaguya's and Clarice's events feel so similar and they both come into the story so late that they feel like the same character. Obviously there's differences (backgrounds, personalities, Clarice involves the gods, Kaguya no one in particular) but the conflict itself is pretty much the same thing. Doing them back to back felt weird.

Trio of Towns on 3DS or Grand Bazaar on PC/Switch are among the best games in the series.

At least the girls I tried, you can't marry early. It doesn't let you advance a lot of events because it might briefly feature a character not introduced yet, or for no reason at all. It'll just say "advance the story"
Like Hina is one of the first characters you meet, and her events are in the fall village.

Has anyone checked the code to see what the level cap is? You pretty much can't get above ~160 due to that being the max level of enemies in the base game and exp falling off as soon as you outlevel them, so I wonder if they'll add enemies that go above that just to let you keep grinding for the hell of it.

Same problem to me. Whats funny to me is Ulalaka is already at bond level 10 while most are around 6-7 by the time I finish the game. I only do talk to all the villagers once a day and try to give gifts when its their birthday.

The post game sure feels empty once I don't have anything to explore after Dragon's Tomb.

Apparently, its level 200.
Azuma needs something like a Sharace Maze where time can stop while you're on it and freely go roguelike on it. Party members having their own skills is something I liked on Azuma and I would like a place where you can put your team on a test.

>>721075094
You can date as many people as you want at the same time, it's just that it's pointless because after marriage you unlock a special alternate timeline dating mode that lets you switch to a timeline were you never dated your spouse and can go after someone else whenever you want, and all romantic progress is reset so you end up seeing the same events all over again if you already did them in the first timeline

I think the activities are pretty good. There's a cost to it(time) and you gain a different amount of relationship points based on what each character likes to do. The alternative or what we used to do was just talking to them once a day and giving a gift. Activities are way superior.

They're not actually activities. Outside of the times you do it triggering a real event (when it could just be a date in the other games) they might as well be text boxes. Going to whatever location only shows it in the background, and you're told "Wow that sucked" or "Let's do it again," the animation shown having nothing to do with their reaction because it's used for every character.
Reminiscing about the past doesn't tell you anything about the past, just how that character may or may not feel about the past. It's telling, not showing, and not very compelling content in the first place.

The melee combat is pretty basic, the mine is like three floors, your dragon is the map you spend most of your time on but there are randomized wilderness tiles you can go to later
You can level up crops and livestock like RF though, and there's a very elin-like building system
The kaiju combat is pretty fun though
The villagers are decent, you can pick which ones you get (male or female) so you can have a village exclusively full of women if you so choose. You can make your own custom villagers as well.
I didn't get around to beating it but still had a lot of fun.

The upscaling is pretty bad and lazy, as always to anyone wanting to play RF4 I recommend checking out the nexus for the Rune Factory 4 Special Unfiltered mod.
>>
>>721100925
Mainline portable RF has never looked particularly good. RF4 despite being a 3DS game looks exactly like the DS games and the graphical treatment for Special was nothing short of subpar.
RF3S came out later and managed to be a bit less rushed with new models and a better interface.
>>
>>721100925
It's a VERY lazy upscale. I dunno why they did it like that outside of being too lazy or somehow losing the original textures and not making a proper upscaling

There are mods that remove it and it looks better off.

They put in a shitload more effort into the visuals and added almost ZERO quality of life changes, fixed none of its problems. You can't even craft multiple items at once in 3S, how hard would it have been to backport some of 4's improvements? It's no surprise it bombed hard.

It's a great game for a one-time playthrough. Beautiful town and a larger selection of cute girls. Characters are nowhere near as fleshed out as 4, they're all just pretty looking cardboard cutouts. Once you beat the final boss in 3 that's about it, little to do beyond that. In 4 once you beat the game you've cleared about 30% of the content.

Keep a save just before you sleep and then keep resetting back to it if the next day Arthur isn't selling stone in his office.
Drag the material box with you to save time on going home, and maybe even drag the cabinet with you if you still need more stone, but don't have enough time left in the day to store the stone you bought while you buy more from Arthur

If he's in his office he'll be selling some assorted number of goods, and some of them might be twigs and rocks, or the processed material if you're lucky, albeit those are much more expensive to buy in bulk
Assuming there's no town event going on, and you've done the bare minimum of befriending you can add him to the party to force him to stay in his office so you can keep buying more stone

All I know is that RFS3 has a different translation compared to the original DS one. You either like it or don't (or don't like either) but it does has some newer stuff

RF4S is exactly the same game but with extra content and that shitty ass filter and upscaling you can at least mod out
>>
>>721110018
The original RF3 had a really over-the-top localization for a character that speaks in opposites, I'm told that's been toned down a bit to be more accurate. So it's probably better, even though one of the reasons 3 is praised so much is because of the insane writing.

Not really.
The one that was 'censored' was being able to give her wine and she says she likes it.
Even though it was just a generic "Oh thanks I like *item in red text*" that gives some other generic response now.

Nice. Also that site aggregator is very handy desu. Always keep it handy around sale season if you want to shave a couple of bucks off an already discounted game.

how is the ost in 3? I like it kind of in 4. there are some good tracks but they are pretty few and far betwee. I saw the steam trailer and it seemed better
>>
>>721112568
Pretty solid, around the same as 4's really.
>>
The real reason to play the DS version of RF3 over others is FRY HIGHER, plebians
>>
>>721112568
4 does have an unlockable order option to replace the OST with that of another game as well. So it can't really be beat in the music department.

But 3's music is also good, and you'll probably hear some of it while playing 4 since 4 reuses stuff even without the OST replacement.

>>721112130
oh ok. so I got this for 15 and the only dlc that isnt some gay immersion breaking outfit from previous games characters. so 20 overall. worth it. cool.

A mod just came out that tried to revert most of the westernized localization memes by sxneed, gonna give that one a go. Main reason why I'm not touching kiseki as a whole and the remake with a ten foot pole.

Original RF4 opening is also much much better than Special
>>
>>721112993
As much as I like RF4, it did feel like they went way too hard on memeing, and not in a fun way like RF3
>>
>>721113053
Just playing through the game and eventually it should show up in the price order menu iirc.

Timeline jumping is cheating.

>>721113097
RF3 at least animated a whole new op to go with the song
RF4S' lazy ass just reused the original game's animations

All rune factories, even 1, have nice comfy osts. Usually the best themes are the four seasons and the dungeons which makes sense since you hear them a lot.
