I'm going to play picrel soon (tomorrow or the day after, maybe).I've already played it begin-to-end like five times over the last ten years or so. Now I want to try some autismaxxing.1) I'm romancing Forte, because she's the only bachelorette you can take in your party from the start, without the usual requirement of 3 friend points.2) I'm starting on easy difficulty because then Forte asks you if you want her to join you in your adventures. She doesn't do that if I pick normal or higher.3) I want to finish the first dungeon in the first in-game day, or the next day at most, because you get surprised dialogue from Ventuswill (WHY IS SHE NOT MARRIABLE? AAAAAAAAAAAAAA) if you finish Yokmir Forest before she asks you to go there.4) I don't want to rush the story. I'm going to finish a dungeon, grind as much as I can and accomplish all I can accomplish before I need an area I can't reach without progressing the story.I already read through https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/635388-rune-factory-4/71021481 which is someone detailing his experience in a level 1 playthrough, which isn't what I want to do but the level of detail and "doing things as early as possible" are the same.Do you anons have tips for me?
My love, Dolce.
>>740331556She's a 10/10 cutie, but she comes too late in the game. I'd have to rush to the end of act 1, THEN remember to not exit the town without teleporting so that I don't trigger act 2.I want cute dragon to be at our marriage, but also not rush through the entire story
>>740328979I remember when I tried doing a speedrun of RF4 (I didn't upload it or anything I was just doing it for fun), I think one of the biggest factors to speeding up the early game was hoping Author randomly decides to sell a toy hammer or something like that because it gives you +50magic attack which makes your fireball way stronger, which you can use until you gain access to the horribly overleveled Leon Karmak (If that's how it's spelled) goblins (Which you try to tame by throwing turnip seeds at over and over until you get lucky).These goblins destroy the whole game, but the problem is that there's an area where you can't bring them (It's like the memories dungeon or whatever), so you have to beat the dragon in Leon Karmak (I forgot what it's name is but it's possible if you use one of the ranged goblins as a mount and this is the highest skill expression parts of the run) just to get past him because you can then loot a really high level sword past him and you use that for the solo area.Anyways I hope you have fun OP. Beating the starting dungeon with Forte ASAP was definitely important too.
>>740335983I knew Arthur was gonna play a big part in this. Didn't know about the toy hammer. Thanks anon!
>>740328979Some random tips:- Another anon already mentioned Arthur. So get him to FP 3 so you can invite him to your party. Take him to his shop and talk to him there, that lets you access the shop any time (as long as it's within opening hours). As opposed to watching him leave the shop unattended, just when you need him...- If you stall on early game too much, you're going to get fucked front, back, sideways, diagonally and in the fourth dimension by the early summer typhoon. Plan beforehand so you can replace all your crops, because it will be a massacre. If you're leveling crops like you should, then ship the seed every time it levels up. At least you won't lose much progress that way. Maybe try to get Wettable Powder from random chests? Assuming it can drop. I don't even remember at what point you can buy it.- Reconsider picking Forte. Xiao Pai is where it's at! Plus you know she lets us bang her mother too- Get at least one mushroom from the forest as soon as you can. It's for Venti's birthday!- You probably know this already, but the mamadoodle cave has an invisible wall. You get fodder and more withered grass.- If you're playing on pc, get https://www.nexusmods.com/runefactory4special/mods/77 and the colored mineral squirrel mod. They're good.I'll post more if more comes to mind.
