Why do they eat meat in Azuma?
They've always eaten meat everywhere, they just hid it from (You) until now.

>>725774283>>725776884>>725776805those tits are nice but this game was casualized hard
>>725776805>femcNot sure what I expected when she mentioned date with Kaguya (and not Subaru) but yuri is meh
>>725778131good, farming is not supposed to be difficult
>>725778458Who cares, the comic is just an excuse to see Ulalaka in Matsuri's swimsuit. Now get some actual Ulalaka X both Kaguya and Subaru.
>>725779460
>>725779545thanks, now this is way better
>>725774283I married Ulalaka, but ultimately I had to go to another universe and marry Kanata instead. She was just way, way too adorable.
>>725774283she gave anal birth to my son
>>725778131It's a spin-off, the farming is there but not the focus, just like in Tides. They already announced RF6 so it's whatever
>>725778131It's good for what it is, which is Tides of Destiny 2
>>725780409needed more kaiju fights for that
bros i got emotionally gaslit and blackmailed to marry my childhood sweetheart but she's extremely boringis it moral to switch universe timelines and marry her murderer instead?
>>725780523Yeah, the two we got in Azuma weren't much
>>725778708well they managed to make it both less fun and more annoying despite their efforts.
>>725780808only if you make a lot of children with her
My love, Dolce.
>>725782509How does Ethelberd feel about his bloodline giving birth to mixed-race eathmates that will one day rule his empire?
>>725783763well I guess he can relate to the feeling of getting fucked by one
>>725778131maybe, but also have you seen how fucking big they are??
omw to fuck my android husband
>>725786561
>>725786561damn, they are even bigger than the frog boy
what are the political implications of having a fat cow on your backyard?
>>725786775>>725791016Slutbot.
>>725791380I've got to tear myself away from the new Hyrule Warriors for five minutes and get these guys. I like to see RF cross over with the series it spun off from.
>>725791410he litteraly can't say no :D
why does he even have a snorkel, he doesn't need air
You did bring your special one to bond level 100, right?
>>725791380How do you get them? Just regular monster taming in some area or are they something special to get?
>>725792864you get them from quests

>>725779545Less men more bikini ulalaka pls
When did RF get actually attractive girls? In the first game it’s nothing but lolis.
>>725802849pic related was very attractive
>>725774283is this a good rune factory to start with?
>>725806678no
>>725806886whats the best one then?
>>7258069893 or 4.
>>725807198any particular reason for those ones?
>>725807326I was gonna say, but then I saw your webm so I'd rather not.
>>725807475dont be like that
>>725803737Another lovable klutz with bountiful buxoms
>>725774283She woulda been so much hotter without the skin cancer.
>725777025kill yourself
>Love the combat in Azuma but the endgame is way too boring and repetitive and has nothing to look forward to>RF4 is way too grindy but there's much more to do
>>725806678
what went wrong with this franchise?I remembered RF3 being the best sequel
>>725813537they have to stay true to the roots of the genre by fucking everything up once they get it right
>>725813537>what went wrongmostly just 5 running like shit for some reason
>>725813537Women/fujo pandering, so it ends up like very other modern RPG where the characters are playersexual and conveniently all bi with no convictions. Also no more loli bachelorettes. RF5 specifically was plagued with shit farming mechanics, shit performance even on a beefy PC, and a meh story. Azuma was pretty decent though, but farming was still kinda meh.
>>725815692>Also no more loli bachelorettesbased i might play this game now
>>725813537I can tell you what didn't save it. Suddenly "Oh! We gotta homo."
>>725815692This is a dumb deflection. If you care that much about playersexuality and 'convictions' then the issue goes deeper and stems from the lack of relationships between bachelor/ettes and anyone who isn't the player. The guys also being available to you if you play as a guy or the girls if you play as a girl makes no difference if nobody is allowed to have romance outside of who you picked. All sexuality in the series has always been directed only towards the player since RF3.
>>725796478Cute
>>725820261
Its over....
Game is 35% off now. I've been eyeing it for a while. Is that enough or do we expect it to get lower?
>>7258135375 was clearly a rushed game using software they weren't familiar with and forced DEI faggotry in the Western release.
>>725823832That's already a pretty worthwhile discount IMO.
>>725776884>>725779545>>725780209>>725823396Fine, I'll buy and play your game.
>>725810612Gotta have something to do while waiting for events to fire
>>725803737All the RF games that tease the milfs but said no. Then finnaly got her. My wife for Oceans. So hard to for the series to get a decent busty mature girl.
My beloved tardwife...New Azuma spin off when
>Open GoA thread>Dolce Huh. Neat.
>>725831865
Cant wait for them to show RF6 so I can ruin their faces too
>>725832698*enhance
>>725832698You did good.
I will do my best
Do you think RF6 will somehow have an even bigger dork?Maybe one with freckles or baggy eyes?
>>725833521Thats a tough nut to crack
>>725835417Which is ironic when you consider she cracks very easily
>>725835915You're a real joker
>>725836020Impossible, I don't want to fuck Rin at allBut she can watch I guess, maybe hold her hand for moral support?
>>725836124She coached her during the whole deed
>>725836269I wouldn't even be remotely surprised
Oh shit, a free update!
>>725836416It would be funny to see her coach Kanata from the other room.
>>725831865Rune factory ARRIBA>become El Presidente and build up a fantasy caribbean island>leans way more heavily into the city sim aspect than azuma>vastly more buildings space, but only one city>build housing, farms, industry , tourism and services to get money and tend to peoples needs>has an entire simulated economy system, prizes rise when a good is in demand>politics system with humanists(socialists) vs industrialists(capitalists), choices on how hard you want to industrialise the island vs preserving its natural state>can enact actual laws, ranging from privatisation of businesses and public services, welfare and trade policy, can enect silly amendments ranging from draconic littering laws to declaring goblins and imps as legal citizens>entire theme is order vs chaos (personified by dragons like usual) mixed with mesoamerican/caribbean mythology paralel to the radical changes of an industrial revolution>MC isn't earthmate, they start as an opportunistic crook eventualy reforms somewhat due the help of the cast, they will become an earthmate near the end>city budget is different from your personal budget to prevent you from becoming insanely rich very quick, you instead get gifts from milestones>you have a presidential mansion with a garden to grow (higher level)crops and do crafting, you can sell into your market yourself to take advantages of price hikes you created or to fill in for shortages>overworld exploring is still there, tame monsters and donate them to your ranches, get ore and wood for your industries and free unique places from monsters to build special buildings there>dungeon spelunking to advance the plot, boss loot gives buffs to certain buildings, bosses get stronger the more often you defeat them>and much morethey said they want to focus on the "west" with RF6 while azuma is focused on the east, so how likely is the possibility that RF will venture into the (fantasy) americas?
>>725837992Literally never and your idea is shit
>>725836931Second-fattest cow in the game.
>>725840990RUDE
Looks like that fat bitch should do less eating of anything in general
>>725806678WHYI HATE YOU SO MUCH
Maybe RF6 will have another fatty like eunieI need a dork that is weak to bellygrab
>>725843574No, we are one the sex the sechs agenda now
We simply need to go dorkier
>>725806678>jeet's lawevery time
I'm currently playing it, and I guess I'm now a fan of the series and look forward to the new entries, dunno if I want to go play the older titles tho, I guess maybe only 4 since I think everyone hated 5.
>>725848124Just remember Guardians of Azuma is a spin-off and thus does not represent what the rest of the series is like, the mainline games have a much bigger focus on farming
>>725848124If this was your first game youll probably want to stay away from older titlesthe gameplay of older games just sucks, the farm management is way better but the combat and dungeons feel like a huge slogEvents are also kind of a mess and a bit esoteric sometimes, but RF5 has the worst implementation so stay the fuck away from that oneImagine wanting to do an event for your waifu except some guys event is overlapping it, forcing you to do it first because only 1 event can be up at a timeThen upon completing it, itll spit you back out, straight into another unwanted eventNever before have I seen game mechanics actively cockblock you
>>725848124You could try 3 or 4 Special to see if you jive with the top-down style too.
>>725837992A fantasy version of something like Westown from Trio of Towns could be fun, maybe throw in some staff type weapons that look a bit like a revolver just to fit the setting.Though it's more likely Western will mean France or something.
Truly, this was a Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma - A Japanese-styled fantasy Story of Seasons (formerly Harvest Moon).
>>725853519Can you take the cow with you to fight?
>>725806678post more RN niggert
>>725853781No, the farm animals from SoS are glorified decorations. They are alive and animated, but they're tied to placing down specific kinds of grass you get from the new quests. They produce milk/eggs/fur like tamed monsters but don't otherwise work like them including being able to add them to your party.
>Go through the entire game to finally marry the blond over the dango girl available from the start
dango girl is just undesireable
>>725854946Iroha ended up being my favorite despite me holding off on dating until the very end of the game to see all the optionsI'm just a sucker for the genki girl next door type, and weirdly she feels more like a CF then Kaguya
>>725854946She was stuck between a literal Fuckmeat Goddess and Suzu in her prime.There was no winning here.
Ulalaka milk...
>>725806678nooooooo
>>725854467>kanata not even in that picdorkbros...
>>725856832
>>725854467I wanted to wait until I met everyone to decide a partner but I got tired of waiting and went for Matsuri.
I married every boy and girl.
>>725857938Even Hina?
>>725858179Of course.
>Fubuki mating press guy is goneThat's how you know its Joever
>>725858323Are just a deranged completionist?
>>725858448Uh, maybe.
>>725836931does anybody even care about farming in this game? You just set up some fields and then the villagers do all the rest. Farming is completly irrelevant in this harvest moon spin-off
>>725859979>harvest moon spin-off spin-offftfy
>>725855827based, Iroha is super cuteHer loli sister is nice as well
>>725855947Suzu has a fan club of smelly old men
For what purpose?Just to suffer?
>>725863253CFs always betrayIt is the law
>>725863253yandere doctor julian bachelor in rf6trust the plan
>>725863890he will be the most popular bachelor with all the female players wanting to fix him (they can't)
>>725863253wait, so rune factory is ntr game?
>>725863253lol lmao
>>725865339>Guardians of Azuma 2 opens on the land having been completly annhiliated by Julian unleashing the big evil dragon again after getting his mind shattered by NTR>he's the final bachelor you unlock anyway
>>725774283Should I play this game if my interest has always leaned more towards the RPG and life sim stuff and less the farming?
>>725863253>Can retroactively cuck this stupid kid from 5God I love this series.
>>725865616>most popular marriage candidate in the game
>>725774283Does this game have any gayshit or something?
>>725865851Yea, this game was literally made for people like you. The farming is a total afterthought and can be easily and completly automated.
>>7258135374 was great though 3 vs 4 has always been a thing, but just the length of time to 5 dueto devs going bankrupt and being bought by the parent company, followed by 5 just being an unoptimized mess, and then of the homo crap pushed in by western side, and being mediocre to top it all off it leaves a pretty bad initial impressionAzuma's alright but gonna have to see what 6 ends up being to see if this series has any hope in it or if itll just be like 5 again, just with likely better optimization
>>725866189yes, (You) the player
>>725863402Lies! There are plenty of loyal CFs
>>725866260So it's as gay as (You) are (i.e. the characters are Playersexual)?
>>725866228Hell yeah. Not that I necessarily dislike the farming in this series. I just never could get super autistic about it and it was generally just a means to an end for me.
>>725866341You can date anyone regardless of gender.However the game makes a very clear difference between being friends and starting to date. This isn't Dragon Age 2 where you become gay by being just being nice to a dude. You have to actively choose to date a guy.
>>725866642Playersexual then, got it. Is the gameplay even good? How is it compared to Stardew Valley for example?
>>725866642More games need to do it in the way that the RF dev's spiritual successor project does it, via a per-candidate toggle
>>725866276Name 3
>>725866642Or even become gay by just being nice to a dude like Rune Factory 5.
>>725866972Not that guy but, My Time at Sandrock has Nia who happens to be best girl next to Mi-an.
>>725867683Honestly I respect the way they handled Nia. They make you wait until damn near the end of the fucking game for her. The payoff feels so good.
>>725866979To be fair, nobody played RF5
>>725868090Is the latest game gay too?
>>725867825Its really an accomplishment to get a player to care about a character who has a backstory with the mc that the player themselves have no idea outside of the brief moments a game will divulge any context of said backstory.Especially in a game like Sandrock where you have a lot of charming characters outside of Nia and Mi-an.
wtf happened to this series why is it so fucking ugly now
>>725868238Only if you confess your love to a manThe friend events are just friend events (and good ones, too)
>>725868432Yeah, why doesn't it look beautiful lke this anymore?
>>725869143What about femprotag? Same shit?
>>725869187>The upscaled backgrounds versionGood bait though
>>725869387Yes, same stuffThough each protag does get the other protag as a choice and obviously those are 100% straight
Why not just play Stardew Valley which shits on this game 10 times over?
Never forget
>>725869561Why not just play DOOM?
Fubuki mating pressgonna use this update as an excuse to go back into the game to finish all the other marriage achivements, I already mating pressed him twice>>725858445:)
>>725870212Remember to make him LARP as his evil twin.
>>725774283>>725793370>>725806678so perfectly thick. best rf waifu. shame shes in mid game
>>725870723shallow manthickness is not everything
>>725871393nta but also fertility goddess
skibit toilet
>>725870432>making him roleplay as his dead brother, doing a mock battle of his final confrontation and then breed him after his defeatthats.... kinda hot, not gonna lie
>>725871648>fertility goddesswhat fertility goddess gets stuck inside a dying tree?
>>725867683>My Time at Sandrockis it any good?
>>725871791>>725870432How to make your wolf-dog question every interaction with you, and cry after sex.
>>725871956The game feel is a little jank, especially combat, but overall, I'd call it fantastic, especially if you like the gameplay loop of explore > create materials > build and talking to the residents of the town along the way. The story is also fun. It's long as fuck though.
>>725874470>It's long as fuck though.how long does it take to marry cute CF there?
>>725875572I'm not even kidding when I tell you it took me like 100 hours to get to the point in the story where she actually moves to town. She visits like once or twice during the events of the story, but it's basically the end of the storyline by the time she actually moves in.
>>725875572The very end of the game
In really really trying to push through to see the children but bruhhhhh everything is so boring after the main story ends. Also the wife dialogue is kind of boring. How do you guys do to push or move the days forward?
>>725876481I don't push myself to do anything in video games. If I stop having fun, that's the end of the game.
>>725876481With how genericified 90% of the 'lets do something together' events are, along with the farming & monsters being automated AND not being able to actually walk around town with you're waifu its just both tedious and quite boring compared to even the spontaneous events of RF4.Maybe its just me but with how its all 3D it becomes really noticeable how theres like 8 different animation cycles per character, even if it was just a few pngs like the older RFs I'd have tolerated it more.
>>725871859thats why you have to save her with your semen
>>725876481i didnt even make it through the story
>>725878106Man she's cute but I'm not gonna buy a shitty first day DLC for her
>>725876184>>725876186damn, that's longChildhood friends have it rough
Does anything ever happen in the old village or is it just there to walk around in the ruins and be depressed?
>>725879639There's like one hidden thing you can find with the light staff iirc
>>725878916 Honestly same. Got halfway through and it was just sidequest fetch hell and lukewarm character arcs. I really wanted to care, but when everyone talks like cardboard and crafting feels like an Excel spreadsheet, I checked out. Still boot it up sometimes to decorate my workshop tho, ngl.
>>725878106>along with the farming & monsters being automatedBro automated farming is possibly the worst thing you could do to yourself. The villagers are fucking RETARDS it doesn't matter how hard you spec into farming bonuses they are completely inept and its no wonder Azuma fell into ruin.
>>725802849In the first game.
Azuma was better than 5 but still kinda shitty.
dolce sucks
>>725878106I consider it finished once I finished the trials in the recent update. Having a maxed out family can be fun but I wish there was something like a Sharace Maze there.
>>725792621>bond level 100???
>>725889693They added it in an update
>>725856832I was close to going down that path, but the bear's events won me over in the end.
>>725864915Always has been.
>>725890029>devs already confirmed Suzu will return in a future gameThe tanuki is next.
>>725889693Any benefits on doing that?
>>725891362Yes, there are stat boosts and gifts along the way all the way up to 100 now. If your waifu loves you more she'll fight harder and you'll get some nice presents basically.
>>725774283I just got the game, any bigs Do's and Don'ts for beginners?
>>725891995Kick out the Slacker and Big Eater villagers on sight.
>>725891506Any notable gifts? I conquered the trials in post game already so I feel that theres no point in grinding further in Bond Levels. I already have fun having a maxed out MC and his family.
>>725876481Post-marriage life is very mundane. There's not enough personality or writing I guess for the wives, it's almost like they're more fun/lively single. Bad thing about staying single is it locks you out of cute children and the end-game dungeon. I basically did all I could in the game before doing marriage/fates and stopped afterwards.
>>725891995divine weapons are utterly op and make normal weapons almost redundand
>>725855947
>>725892201All the unique stuff is gained by bond level 17. Everyone gives you a recipe for a life-size cardboard cutout of themselves at level 12. Some have another cutout or a unique piece of equipment at level 15 (for instance Kanata also gives you a Rin cutout and Clarice one of Veyron), Fubuki is the one with the most stuff as you get his cutout at level 12, the Hound's at 15, the Hound's outfit for him at 16 and the Hound's cap at 17. Every gift beyond those is simply one of the items each character likes the most.
>>725893085This is true but the devs failed to deliver once again.
>>725890029I thought it was supposed to be cute and comfy game series
https://files.catbox.moe/shv5ja.mp3
How boring is it to do the rewoven fate stuff? Honestly I have nothing left to do in Azuma but I don't really want to grind RF4 again
>>725900798If you've already done everything else, then Rewoven is mostly sleep-spamming to see date cutscenes and children varieties if you care enough to spend the time. The most practical reason is to unlock everyone's wedding outfit.
>>725905494Damn, Azuma really needs more content, I almost bought RF5 because of how bored I was with it
>>725894784Well, they dropped the rivals since RF3.
>>725906025It's not tides 2.0 for nothing. Though ill say Tides felt like it had more meat on the bones with how quickly you can breeze through azuma, almost feels more like RF1 in that respect.
>>725906025>>725911546How long is it?
>>725911660Azuma main story can be done in the 1st yr of summer, if not sooner. The dungeons and such they put you into can be cleared pretty quickly and the combats broken so there's rarely a wall that makes you need to stop since the game keeps giving you upgrades.
>>725911845Goddamn that sounds short as fuck. Why are they charging a price for this game that would imply it has the same content as a mainline RF?
>>725911845>>725913964It's like simultaneously a short game and a long game.I had like 60+ hours on my save but I also beat the game before the end of summer because I was autistically minmaxing my days for profit and material farming. It still felt short but then looking back on it, the hours FLEW by without me noticing.
>>725779460How did GoA got bikinis allowed even on Switch 2? Didn't nintendo ban bikinis from 3rd parties according to merry bynny garden(switch got hag nudity censored), corpse party tetralogy, Neptunia(rider got bikini removed on switch and trilogy got cancelled in switch),menhera farm, 100 lines(female and male nudity got censored in switch)?
>>725890029To be fair, Jake is a giant asshole and stealing Cicilla from him feels more like saving herPoor Julian is a good boy, he didn't deserve to be NTR'd
I am getting Great Bazaar next Monday. It looks fun enough
>>725915459most of the girls are so flat that there is nothing erotic about them wearing bikinisUlalaka's bikini is also quite tame
>>725920768Why is corpse party, nep, merry bunny garden not okay on switch while bachleorette and shine post bikini is okay on switch 2? Are GoA and Shine post swimsuits safehorny?
>>725920768Both hidden and DLC? Hidden one doesn't have skirt.
>>725920768It would be better to let the thread die than engage bikinischizo.
