Admit it.You love the Rune Factory series!
Rf3 was good
>>729744689>tfw RF3 is the last good RF game
>>729744689Luv RF3Luv FrontierLike OceansLuv RF4'ate RF5Like AzumaSimple as.
My love, Dolce.
>>729744689You're right, I do.
>>7297451135 mogged azumashit, hipster.
>>729744689I love Fubuki mating press
Is the newest one any good?
>>729744689I did until Marvelous started puppeteering its corpse around.
No (You) for such weak bait.
>finally get to see inside her shrine>40 empty sake bottles sitting in the corner
>>729747518It's whatever.The girls are the best they've had in a while and the romance aspect is the best in the series thus far.Everything else though is meh. Combat is button-mashy. Farming is simplified. The townbuilding aspect is neat but ends up amounting to you just sticking shit wherever for stats/dev levels. The story can be completely finished by the end of the first Summer.I enjoyed it personally, but don't go in expecting another RF4.
>>729744689I like 3 and 4, yes
I played rune factory 5 for a bit and it looked and played like shit. I’d fuck Elsje but I don’t think she’s a bachelorette. But when the game gives you the stack of medicines at the start, I accidentally gave her one and she said thanks. She would be mine but I’ll settle for the dog girl.
>>729746268>5shill depending literal anal sewage
>>729747981No you can't romance her.Hopefully, Ulalaka's popularity convinces the boneheads at Marvelous that the playerbase DOES, in fact, want "adult" romance options.
>>729744689Any reason to play RF3 on ds over the switch version?
>>729749673If you want a quirky localization intead of a more dry but correct one.
>>729744689Can you really say you love a series when you like 2 out of 6+ entries? Because thats the case of RF for me.
>>729749673The DS is actually portable. If you're going to play the remake, play the pc version.
>>729750135XSNEED's localisation just trades one wacky rewrite for another, in addition to "modern standards" censorship.
>>729749673If you want the meme localization and a more energetic Daria
>>729750646Someone took the "elves are built for NTR" thing a bit too far.
I'm just gonna remind everyone that Cecilia is Worst Girl.No particular reason.
>>729747641This series has big titties?
My beloved waifu
>>729747641God, I hate how this game looks. Everyone has a dull sickly skin tone, Ululalaka's chin is massive and her boobs are just round and lifeless. How could anyone who loves boobs tolerate them when they look like they're made of silicone?
>>729751119Rarely, she's like the third girl in the entire series to have a prominent bust.Unsurprisingly, she's also the most popular girl in the game.
I'm gonna play RF4 with the yuri mod.
Best girl by far.If 5 didn't shit the bed, it'd be more debatable.
>>729747518Very mid, falls off early, everything feels disconnected, shallow and undercooked
>>729744689just 3
Julia may not be Best Girl, but she definitely has the best faces.
>>729746221Here you go.
>>729744689ill start emulating it eventually... someday...
>>729744689I've only played 4, 5 and I tried 3 years ago when I wasn't really into games like this. Amber and Fuuka are best wives since I can't marry my boss or her sister. Sofia would probably be who I marry in RF3 since I remember liking her extreme tsundere gimmick.
>>729752030Faster!
I love RF, but Azuma has a really bad art direction/character design. Hopefully they go back to the classic look in RF6.I just want the RF1-4 look but in 3D.
>>729752712>I just want the RF1-4 look but in 3D.Frontier
>>729752950Lost technology
>>729752950And yet somehow, they can't do this again without fucking up.
>>729752950>>729752986>Wii era spin off looked better than RF5How
>>729752712Iwasaki is supposedly still the artist for 6, so fingers crossed>>729752986I blame the Japanese audience, they go nuts for overly saturated, bright shit. But Grand Bazaar still looked pretty good.What I'd really want is a Rune Factory that looks like the SoS Doraemon game but with Iwasaki's art
>>729753157civilization peaked in all things two decades ago
>>7297531575 was originally greenlit as a 3DS game before Neverland went bankrupt and after that whole mess was done the Switch was out so it's possible they had to change their plans and come out with a game within 2-3 years
>>729753157Modern RF isn't even the same devs, it's just a batch of devs Marvelous threw together to keep making games using the IP.The director and writer of 4 started a kickstarter for their own not-RF game recently but it's not estimated to be out for years and the bachelorette options are shit again.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1005170304/farnia-village/
>>729753608that looks decent aside from the super low budget
>>729753608I get that his budget is limited but fuck me dude surely the flat no texture look for the world is placeholder
i got my wife RF4 and its been like an hour and its just princess point shit and no farmingstill time to refund...
>>729753747Tbf it is Kickstarter budget isn't exactly in the cards for a dev using itGenuinely hoping and praying that it will scratch the RF itch because God knows marvelous can't do it anymore
>>729744689>You love the Rune Factory series!lol
>>729753854Somewhere in the comments he says that it's intentional, but I really hope it changesyou can also see bikini schizo and his sockpuppet account lel
>>729753608Claimed. No one else is allowed to marry her now.
>>729754089
>>729754336Genuinely retarded girls are immune to the fat fucks of corruption once they reach a certain threshold of retarded.
>>729754089>Bites>Cockyoh no?!
>>729754051Didn't Natsume localize this one instead of XSeed? I heard they changed a ton of the script for RF3S but I don't know if they changed any of the quirks
>>729744689I will admit I love Rune Factory 3. I will admit I liked 1, 2, and Frontier. The rest, meh. That is all I have to admit.
>>729754089How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, brat?
>>729754051>>729754608They fixed that line in the remaster but fucked up other lines instead.
>>729744689I like it in concept, but it turns out I'm not as into farming games as I thought. I like it as an action RPG with a lot of little systems to level that interact with each others, and everything I don't like about it comes from its SoS/HM roots.
>>729754730https://marvelous-usa.com/2023/08/18/rune-factory-3-special-localization-blog-2/Yeah I looked into it after I made the post, seems better than the Natsume one at least
>>729754865You're basically choosing between Natsume randomly rewriting things to try and be funny or XSEED specifically rewriting things they don't like, like characters referring to gender roles or Monica talking about marrying the MC.
>>729755041Lines for giving Monica the engagement ring at low / high affection.
>>729753608Well you can tell because the girls are appealing unlike the recent RF games
>>729755041>>729754865mod when
>>729755265
>>729755041Natsume would probably do the same thing today. EVERY loocalizer is in on the anti-"gender role" agenda. You won't find a single one past 2020 that doesn't do the same things. Even at the source, we have the "type A/B" shit now that was implemented across almost every single company in unison like they all got a top-down direct order to do it. Same with the anti-loli shit, that arguably started even earlier with Ghostlight, NISA and Atlus USA taking it upon themselves to censor ecchi games that came westward.
>>729755265Xsneed can't handle best girl
>>729755041Maybe I am seeing it through rose tinted glasses but I grew up playing the DS version and it has a lot of charm compared to the more direct translation
>>729754865So which one do you play for the cutest Sofia?
>>729753608>finally free of corporate overlords>make another girl/boy choice mcHope he fails.
>>729755041Love that Natsume, it's pure soul. >>729755472That's irritating. At least I have my beloved old localizations. Neither shitty sjw trends nor funless purists can take those joyful moments away. They weren't perfect, but they were better
>>729744689Apparently the director of RF4 is now an indie dev and is pretty much solo devving an RF knock off (only thing he ain't doing is writing). How much hope does /v/ have for this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VES59jhfk3Y
>>729757237Stupid nigger.>>729753608
>>729757320sperg
>>729753936RF4 has like 1 hour to 1 hour and half of intro+tutorials but when the game opens, it REALLY opens and you can do whatever like a traditional game.>princess pointThey describe it in a flashy way but it's just a minor system for you to buy upgrades, the bulk of the game is still about farming+fighting.Keep playing.
I wish they never moved to full 3d models
>>729753608>>729757237Japan has fallen...
>>729756817Sorry anon but you're playing a GIRLY genre, they need to give girls their self-insert.
>>729757718>incel anon will finaly commit suicide over thisso happy rn
>>729757718Japan was never on your side.
>>729756817considering that a bunch of people in the comments are (presumably) women thirsting over the monster mayor, he made a good call
>>729757718Okay but is it corpohomo or boywives?
>>729744689I actually hate RF, and the "rune," aspects of it kill almost any and all interest I'd have. I want HM aesthetic and vibes
>>729757718Male/female mc choice games always turn into gayshit eventually.
>>729757718Japan has done this longer than your existence
>>729757718>Turn off romance for men>Turn on romance for women>?>profitThis is arguably better than accidentaly getting gay with your bros.
>>729757718>can play a female MC(that i want to fuck) and marry a girl (i want to fuck)
>>729747765Dentist time.
>>729757237Converting the yen amount, he apparently only got a little over $200,000 in funds. Is that really enough to fund a game? I would be interested if he doesn't implement sodomy or do type A/B shit to make the boy/girl choice purely cosmetic. Just do it like 4 where I can pick the boy and safely ignore the existence of the girl, and have the would-be bachelors be bros instead of trying to rape me, and I'll bite. I don't think that's a hard ask, but faggotry and troonery is just so thoroughly metastasized throughout the industry now, especially in this genre, that I know I'll probably be let down anyway.>>729757718And there it is. I knew I was wrong to have any hope.>>729758003>>729758215This entire genre was almost entirely fag-free until the mid 10s. Guess what pozzed indie game normalized faggotry in the genre through its massive success, and to this day is only enjoyable if you mod the hell out of it to remove the ugliness? Hint; it wasn't a Japanese game. You can't psyop me; I saw the spread of this shit in real time, and it all started after that fucking Stardew Valley took off.
>>729757718It's good that you aren't stuck into automatically being bisexual. That's all I want.
>>729753608>Can't fuck JackaI see we're maintaining the tradition of Best Girl Never Ever, huh?
>>729758419All the writing and character interactions will still assume you're bisexual though, so this changes nothing.
>>729758309That it exists at all is the issue. God will smite you homo defenders.
>>729758373>incel anon is STILL at it>years go by and he STILL cant get over the fact that women and gays existHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAyour suffering delights me
>>729758437That's a dude, you flaming homo
>>729758204Harvest Moon was the childhood, Rune Factory was the adolescence, BOTH is the adulthood.
>>729758373Japan doesn't have the same sensibilities as the west, anime and videogames have always had stuff like this and it has always been accepted by not only the Japs but /v/ too. You're the one rewriting history because you're angry that western women and fags are retarded.
>>729758373>This entire genre was almost entirely fag-free until the mid 10s.You had gay shit even before then. I'm telling you this would have eventually happened no matter what. Especially when you're a dev with zero budget and lel trad only chads don't bring home the big bucks. Gay shit does. Like furries and thier money. Accept it or don't. It makes no difference to me.
>>729758558A dude with boobs? Are you okay, anon?
>>729757718Gay is OK as long as they are cute. No homo.
Show RF6 already you hacksIts been in the works for how long now?
>>729758727XSEED is busy rewriting the script and removing any questionable designs, please wait warmly.
>>729758373I don't even play these shitty gay games anymore, last one I played was Sandrock and while it was ok it's clear how much of the game is aimed at women.Now if I play any of these farming games it's those that are male MC-only.
>>729758419No, I maintain higher standards than this. I refuse to accept the mainstreaming of sodomy in my comfy arcadian pastoralism simulators. It didn't need this shit before, it doesn't need it now. You may be willing to accept this because the bar has fallen so low, but I remember a time before the great enfaggening.>>729758554I sleep well at night knowing you'll die of AIDS or some other super STD you incubated through your habits while I'll live.
Isn't it funny that the massive shilling for both Azuma & Grand Bazaar stopped at the exact same time? Almost like a contract ran out or something...
>>729758727We had a new game 6 months ago. If you survived 9 years between RF4 and RF5, you can survive a bit more.
>>729758825I sleep well at night knowing you'll never EVER reproduce faggot LMAO
>>729758989Literally me
Mysterious amount of abrupt seethe to that post I'm noticing.
>>729758918>>729758707>>729758554Gaping anus faggot cope.
>>729758664Nah fuck off retard, they knew what audiences they had and catered to them, if you wanted something gay and looked for it, it was there, but now EVERYTHING has to have gay shit shoved into it.
>>729759094>Seething is mocking a retardGot a weird definition of seethe there anon. Making fun of retards is a 4chan past time
>>729758341nooo we mvst retvrn to tradition!!! (HM: DS Cute had lesbian marriage in japan BTW)
>>729759094Funny that yesterday's thread was really comfy but now there's more bitter anons lurking.You can feel that new year's loneliness lmao
>>729758664>>729758671Who do you think you're trying to fool? Why did Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons not have a single fag until the mid 10s? Why was gay marriage going to be absent from Rune Factory 5 until XSEED, the WESTERN localizer branch, explicitly pushed for it and then bragged about doing so? Why did all of these gay Tumblrcore indie farmslops crop up after Stardew Valley became an unprecedented success? Why did all of this only take off after the mainstreaming of gay rights in the west? Hell, I'll remind you gay marriage is literally still illegal in Japan, only now after Biden's slimy jew ambassador started pushing it is there now a significant movement to legalize it.>>729758918Not only will you not reproduce, you never even had the potential to because you're a fag. The only thing you produce is disease and decay.
>>729744689I found this on Reddit.
>>729759308>traps, gender bender, cross-dressing, etc didn't originate from Japan as popular tropes and actually came from the west recentlyJust say you don't know anything about Otaku culture, anon.
>>729759308I played RF4 with the yuri mod and married Forte. Just letting you know.
>>729759457Holy based
>>729759308Huh, I didn't know 2005 was "the mid 10s"
>>729758858I once pointed out that the timestamps on the screenshots posted by a grand bazaar shill meant he was literally posting from india. The thread instantly died.The attempt to make GB look popular was one of the most unnatural things I've ever witnessed here.
>>729759308HM already had gay marriage before RF. You have just exposed yourself
>>729759547>The attempt to make GB look popular was one of the most unnatural things I've ever witnessed here.Because recent SoS were floundering because of the new staff but then they found their footing with Grand Bazaar? Then people wanted to praise a well-made game? It's not rocket science anon.
>>729759597Excuse me, but that was just declaring yourselves to be BEST FRIENDS. Best friends who eventually get a magic baby.
Why play this goyslop when Stardew Valley exist?
>>729759451None of that has anything to do with the push for gay marriage and eliminating gender differences in Japanese games. Or localizers wouldn't need to push for both of those things to the ears of the Japanese.>>729759527Why was gay marriage completely absent from Rune Factory until XSEED demanded it? Answer this, you disingenuous shill.>>729759597I exposed nothing. Whatever little example you might have from before then does not compare to it literally being ubiquitous and inescapable now.
>>729758727I don't remember Pilika saying this?
>>729759650You can at least try to post something slightly believable, dude.
>>729759689And sleep in the same bed, platonically, after a BEST FRIENDS ceremony in front of the whole town
>>729759736Because the genre peaked with picrel and the industry can't seem to top it
>>729759738Actually the first gay choice in RF was back in RF2, where the female kid can have a mock wedding with the two twins (female)
You can only choose one.Take a bath.Be a bath.
>>729759457>mod
>>729759308your tears are soo juicy anon SLUUUUUURRRRRRPPPPPPHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHoly shit I cant wait till this year is over and then we finaly can enact TOTAL INCEL DEAD and fucking rape kill you retarded faggots out of existance so we can finaly have normal conversations about video games without you retarded faggots go TRANNY TRANNY TRANNY TRANNY TRANNY TRANNY TRANNY TRANNY TRANNY out of nowhere to derail litteraly every conversationKYS
>>729759776confess and pick pilly as the nickname
>>729759787Exactly. Total besties.
How come nobody talks about RF2?
>>729759931best girlfriends
>>729759787You both say "no homo" before going to bed every night. Except with Keira.
>>729759852You'll die from your AIDS before that ever happens fag
>>729759970It's the middle child of the franchise
>>729759852uh oh troon melty
>>729759834Oh wow, an optional little side thing in one single game in the franchise. Now remind me what dude Kyle can sodomize to bring those kids into existence.
>>729759970Because nobody can compete with Yue.
>>729759994Do you think the Witch Princess would summon a penis with her magic so her and her BFF could have some bonding time, haha?
>>729759970Because it's just "better 1". I don't even remember any of the characters besides the cute Japanese merchant girl. The gameplay is still stale compared to 3 and 4.
>>729744689When is 6? Have they even announced it?
>>729760063>why didn't RF have gayshit before xseed>well, it actually did have gayshit before xsneed>nooo that doesn't count because it just doesn't
