how big are Chinana's Chinanas?
>>751501428Not as big as Hasumi's hasumis
>>751501617She needs to stop drinking.
>Komako>Tobari>Yoh>Chinana>Sazankaflattie village
>>751502258dont forget>Rin
>>751501428So more villager interaction (possibly meaning romance) was cut content, so there's a chance they're going to add it in the Spring 2027 DLC after getting more time to work on the game.
I keep gifting Hasumi sake even though its not a favorite gift because I support her getting sloppy drunk and knocking on my door at midnight.
>pale woman nightthink I'll just go back to sleep instead
>>751502870>Villager dating DLChow would that work when you are a dead kid? I'd assume that was planned when Ame was still set at late teens at best
>>751503812two wordstime skip.>you are now 18>the women in the village are still single after 30 because every single one of them are walking red flags
>>751501428>
>>751501924She told me she's going to try to only drink recreationally instead of drinking to manage her anxiety
>>751503331Did you get her book?
Why doesn't Nago just get new glasses, he complains all the time
>>751505097I don't think anyone in the village can make prescription glasses anon.
Can Tourmaline be found in jewel rocks (the rocks in the quarry with little purple shards in them)?
>>751505462Chinana takes special ordersAlso later on he's the one in charge of supplying the village
I love that the 10 year delay between jumping in the hole and getting out wasn't a magical thing and instead it literally just 10 years trying to climb out of the hole and repeatedly falling down
>>751505604I believe I've found them in the gem rocks as well as normal ass rocks.
Anyone who dislikes Rin is confirmed to be a player who doesn't actually read their every letter.
>Nago visited the village a few times and got trapped already>The evaluation team visited lots of times but none get trappedAlso, Nago said Kagatsu is deemed as non tax generating area, and yet our produce is good enough to be branded
>>751506978Nago getting trapped is done on purpose for some unknown reason, Kisuke sold him a piece of land to bind him to the village and then a fox, which may or not be Konno stole his wallet to seal the deal.
Holy shit, Chinana
>>751507746>Chinana is a slutmy wife can't be so lewd......
>>751508017she's a sult for farm animals
>>751508017your "wife" had sex with everyone in the village and all your animals every day
>>751507248I think later on Kisuke or Konno, I forgot who, just explained that they REALLY needed a librarian to help Ame break the village's rules and defeat the evil god, which was just really unfortunate for Nago that he got picked for the job just because he just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.
>>751508017she might just be bluffing tbf
>>751504317Grrrrrrrr
so how many non virgins are in the village?>Nago had a gf>Chinana is a slut>Hasumi may had done it when she was drunk>Konno probably fucked some female fox in mating season>Shiroji may had dressed up as a female fox>Rokaku may had some encounters
>>751508550I love the writing in this game.
>just started>Fish up white crayfish on like third castL o d s o f e m o n eWhy is this the closest thing to BTN or HM64 there's been since those games? Stardew and Rune Factory are a different vibe
>>751508550>he just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong timeI dunno, I think they picked him specifically because he seemed to care about the village even before being trapped there
>>751509369Konno gets fucked by Shiroji. He gives up his sweet foxpussy for compliments, like a greedy animal would.
>>751509959I don't know, but I get what you mean with the comparison to BTN and HM64. There's something so comfy about the isometric game design that makes this one of my favorite farm sims in years.t. lifelong bokumonofag whose personal favorite is HM64
>>751510751Hell yeah. 64 is definitely the best one.
>>751510223>cuntboy konno>cuntboy kisukewhat's next? Cuntboy Rokaku? Cuntboy Yuta?(that may actually make sense given his backstory) is there a curse in the village that gave men vaginas?
Has anyone datamined this game for unused story content or assets?
>>751511068Konno isn't a cuntboy, unless you want him to be. He canonically has the power to alter his form.
>>751511183>yutaphile finding another victim90% he ran to the boonies despite having a successful career because he got caught on epstein island

why is ame a stupid farming gremlin
>>751512581line go up is good for village
>>751512649reminder that for every one yen you got Rin gets 3she is filthy rich now.
>>751503812The only thing Hasumi loves more than a cold beer is a cold shota.
>>751512679that is good for village, Ame happy
>>751512730Rin rich= Rin happyRin happy = everyone else not happyeveryone else includes Ame
>>751512776Rin happy means no one has to bleed for rootage and Rokkaku can keep raising Yoh despite Rin's piece of shit cousin still wont pay his tab.
>>751512679>>751512776Rin is an uggo
>>751512838Rin will pocket all that money and buy some scam products from Chinana while still drawing blood from everyone elseEven Konno aren't as greedy as Rin.
>>751512679It costs a lot of money to run a village
>>751513132Sazanka's room is like one of those gyaru's rooms if not for the weird inventions. I like the contrast.
Does this game appeal to /u/fags?
>>751513639No
>>7515056041% chance from purple gemstone rocks. 1% chance from some normal rocks 80-99, and 1% from every normal rock 100+. So you want to farm the deeper floors for it and pray for good luck rather than aim for the purple ones.
>>751505604Just break rocks at 110+. Tourmalime is not the throttle.
>everything is fucked and we are all going to die>We could just easily leave with zero consequences and could have left at any time>but that wouldn't be very fair to all the people that got sacrificed to stay here also we would have to get real jobs
Thanks devs, I was worried that I wasn't getting enough weeds
>>751515517You didn't grow your rice.
>>751514783I mean have you seen the Villagers? They are trainwrecks to say the least
>>751516354They would be fine other than Hasumi and Rokkaku
>>751516827>RokkakuI am more concerned about Komako honestly, at least the old man have his own diner, what is a 16yo girl with 0 education with only skills in hunting going to do in modern society aside from the oldest profession?
>>751517464Become a vtuber.
>>751517596who will be the target audience? She is not cute at all. No one wanna watch some dork from the countryside.
>>751511183Not sure if it's actually cut content, but in the save editor, there's a value for "money offered", a possibly cut mechanic where you have to keep offering money each month other than that one cutscene where Konno ask you to pay up or have your blood drawn as offering, a back accessory slot when you're trying to edit your character's appearance, and one hidden quest in your quest log named ???.https://kriscris.github.io/village-in-the-shade-guide/en/save-editor/

I can beat both the bear and the boar easily but the freaking deer has been the reason for most of Rin's code-mandated get well letters to me...
>>751517464Move to a less cursed village and hunt there?
>>751501428Is Chinana a gypsy? I mean a Romani.
>>751505097I don't have any of those on my UI...
>>751519148>moving to a less cursed village Id assume once they fuck off from their own lands they are blacklisted by basically all mountain deities so they'll have to find jobs in cities
how long do festivals last if you don't go to them? wondering if i can postpone going to one so i can get another set of ores cooking beforehand.
>>751512679technically isn't she only getting 2 yen since she's the one paying you?
>>751501428I can't mostly tell what gender most of the villagers are
>that monster hunter-ass sweet potato roasting minigame during the fall festivalthe only thing it's missing is the MMM, SO TASTY! when you do it right
>>751519730I usually just attend the festivals one hour before it closes, each festival has different closing times though, for example the monthly evaluation closes at 5 PM IIRC.
>>751519135>Rin's code-mandated get well letters to me.They send letters if you die? I have yet to die during the day. I am slayer of all that lives.
>>751520289You need to die 10 times during the day to get an achievement if you care about 100%ing the game.I've been purposely sacrificing myself to the mountain bear god once I'm done with my daily chores to quickly get that achievement out of the way.
>go into second spring with 120k>spend 110k on seeds for all my sprinkler land>haven't even started the rice field yetI was not prepared
>>751520364>if you care about 100%ing the game.With the field guide achievement? Fuck that. Even without the furniture shit, I'm at the point where I have to talk to the villagers each day to see if I win the RNG dinner invitation to get a new recipe.
>>751521021>didn't put the rice field down firstoh no no no
>>751521050don't forget to check for your 0.7% alpha deer and alpha boar spawn every day
>>751519810technically yeah in reality it is likely way more, she is charging you like 200 yen for booze that costs at least 30000
OK, I metaphorically clapped. I'll try to max character relationships before dlc comes out but other than that probably won't bother replaying even to see autumn and winter festivals that got skipped. The story was enjoyable, daytime systems were alright but horror was very much lacking, at least for me. The two notable exceptions are random ghosts with a scary face and birds on the path from Yuta's home to the plaza. Bosses also sucked with Zunushi being the only exception, and even he despawned both times I got him because he refused to spawn his guys. Thanks for reading my ted kaczynski talk.
>gated by clayI'm so fucking sick of the mines
You are going to finish Rin's requests and deck your house out in cool furniture, yes?
>>751522350I wish the first floor is bigger, it feels kind of cramped compared to how huge the second floor and basement are.
>>751522586This Ane is going to die from carbon dioxide poisoning.
>>751522586>taking your work homeAme no! That thin line isn't enough to protect you!
>>751522586There's a spooky ghost in your kitchen
>begin spring 2>"hmmm, this field is around 750 units in size">around 45k in rice seedlings to cover it wholes...should i?
>>751523101Depends, do you have a full fully upgraded coop with 5 heart ducks to automate the weeding?
>>751523183i got like 2 ducks. however i can just use the scythe, can't i?
>>751523218If you want to spend half the day weeding every day for the next 50 days, then it's your funeral.
>>751523292well then
i just got the story quest to find the sacred treasuresam i able to actually do this now on my own or do i need to wait for the story to allow me to do it like every other story quest?
>>751523183You can just get more coops and more ducks so you don't need the level 5 ones
>>751523689Wait until you see yellow exclamation marks on your map, anyway.
>>751523689It's like every other story quest. The order you pursue them in depends on which scene you trigger first though.
>nago had to impregnate like everyone in the villagepoor guy
you're in charge of introducing a new yokai mechanic. what do.
>>751524925Impregnable yokai wife/husband
>kisue backstories me>"will you help me?">the dialogue character turns to face me, the player, instead of standing and looking to the side, like always.... that's on purpose, right?
I want to mating press literally every girl in this game, they are all so cute.
>>751524925Add something that you'd need to defeat using the fishing rod, watering can or hoe. They already got the other tools covered.
>>751525194even the uggo?
>>751525306Especially her, she is extra cute.
Started the game a week ago, just got to Summer. Which crop should I prioritize? I just unlocked the second plot of land for $5000. Don't know what to plant in it. I have like 20 dorabako or whatever seeds (the ones that you'd get from nightime), is it okay to plant it there? Also, it kinda sucked, to me at least, that the ghosts never fucks off even after we've "beaten" them. I've beaten Daruma and the lantern ghost 3 times, yet they still came back. Got killed while fighting that giant totoro looking creature though. How do I beat it?
>>751525210>watering canWe have the parrot and the fog yokai, but I don't mind more
>>751525327>bad looks canonically>bad body>bad haircut>bad personalityname 1 thing good about her

i think i found a fast-bite fishing spot (like the one at the waterfall) for the mountain pondit's real specific, though, but thankfully you don't get the button prompt unless you're in the right spot, so you can just kinda feel around for it while strafing
>>751524925Eclipse. Day yokai.
>>751525918mountain foot* sorry
>>751525576>headcanon>meanwhile all of them is explicitly shown or written
Is there any differences between the endings, I went with both.
>>751525417Tobari, stop shit posting and go clean the warehouse
>>751526334In both, you lose an eye, gain a sapling that never grows behind your house, and Kisuke's rank 6 relationship content depends on this choice.In stay behind, Ame disappears and returns Kodama's body back to her, you keep both eyes, and again, Kisuke's rank 6 relationship changes with this choice. Major difference in gameplay is do you like having two eyes or not.
I'm baffled we are given a fucking cardboard bed in beginning>not even a proper sleeping bag A FUCKING HOBO BED
>>751526747I made the right choice then, its good they finally gave you the option
>>751526964it's even worse since you can't make your own fucking bed until autumn at the earliest, your best bet to get a proper bed is buying one from chinana
>>751526964what's so baffling about it?
>>751526964You think Ame is going to give a fuck?
>>751527007The uncalled cruelty >around ten year old amnesiac showed up?>better make him sleep in shack with holes in the roof and make him labor hard>here have this bed made out of cardboard as a final fuck you
>>751527234yeah, to drive the point home that the farm really is a ruin, also>him
>>751527005You can get lucky and buy one from store RNG.
>>751526964It's fine Ame doesn't mind
>>751526964That will be 50 yen plus tip
i just harvested my only hot pepper this year, as in irl in my garden. dunno even what type it is, it's green and wrinklytried a tiny bit and it's hot as fuck
>>751527684Have you got a well, if not just dig a really large hole.
>>751528616i use rainwater mostly
>>751526554fuck you Rin I asked Ame to do it but you said i have to do it myself
>>751528863You can't sacrifice the pepper with rainwater
>>751528939lol i only got the joke now, fucking hell
>>751527684throw it to the fishes
>>751525785>tiny fieldThe one in front of the house? I used that for my rice and wasabi. Or the actual "starting" field? I can't really use the new field that I bought. My Axe is still too weak to break one of the stumps. Fuck my chud axe.
>>751529189the one in front of the housei mean you can just plant them anywhere, just be ready for some fun
>>751526964>>751527234It makes sense in the long run, both Rin and Kisuke immediately knew that Ame is not human, no point in treating Ame like one.
>>751501428Never heard of this game, but the character design interests me. Looked it up on Steam. How much of it is survival horror and how much of it is farming sim shit?I love survival horror games, but I hate farming. Can it be played like V Rising where you have your own custom difficulty with the farming stuff completely minimized and watered down and just focus on the action (or, rather, in this game's case, the survival horror)?
>Tobari turned into a gachafagThis village is evil>>751529575It's a farming game first and foremost and the horror part takes a back seat 90% of the time.
>>751529575the survival horror isn't even survival, the encounters are trivial most of the timeit's a really nice game though
>>751529575Technically you could still beat the game with minimal farming, you're really only forced to do some farming for the tutorial,There are plenty of other ways to earn money in the game other than farming, most of the story progression are progressed through waiting for the next day and night exploration, with only the later half of the game needing money to progress, and if you don't care about farming, then you'd have more money saved up since you don't need to buy seeds or upgrade your farm.
>>751529656>>751529806>>751529920Aww, I must have misunderstood what the game is about then. I thought it half survival horror half farming. Oh well.Is the story at least good enough for a playthrough?
Alright, spoil me, with spoiler tag of course. What happened 10 years ago. Why are there oni and ghosts roaming around at night. I wanna love this game, but, the gameplay loop is just not hitting me, don't think I'll stick around much longer. It's not comfy enough, it's lacking events and village stuff to do outside of just progressing the story.
>>751530187depends on what you like, i personally think the story is very solid, however it is a japanese game, so expect a jap type of a story
>>751530312______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________i dunno lol
>>751530359Seriously? The mystery is literally the only thing that keeps me somewhat intrigue. If true, that is super disappointing.
>>751530503i'm fucking with youplay the game yourself to find out
>cant get a fortune that is determined when you start the game and if you have a bad one it fucks with your crops for an entire yearWasted potential
Bruv I'm broke mang.
>>751530312haven't finished the story yet but from what i gathered10 years ago kisuke was supposed to be sacrificedhis imouto (kodama) jumps in the hole insteadthe evil god of the village turns her into a treea different god answers her prayers and assumes her form to become Ame
>>751530642All that wasted space hurts me
>>751530527Eeeeeeh... Nah, I have the AWL remake to play alongside this. Then the Grand Bazaar remake too. So far there's really nothing that is pushing me to actually the farming sim except for waiting for the story to progress. The mystery is intriguing, but having to do the farming and ghost hunting at night with nothing to look forward to gameplay wise, just doesn't fill me up with much joy.
>>751530312Just quit and uninstall the game.
>>751530745Hey, I love my 3x3s okay. Been using that pattern for crops since HM. lol
>>751530642Looks comfy.>>751530745>muh efficiency
>>751531282I'd alter it to 5x5s eventually due to equipment upgrades. I approve of organized crops and comfy walkways/fences regardless though.
Fuck fighting the curse, I will spread it all over the damn mountain
What do you get for turning in 15 cursed crops after getting the rain song?
Newfag question, I haven't harvested any cursed crop yet. Am I supposed to harvest them at night or the big thingie is just cosmetic at night and it appear as normal during morning and I should harvest them at morning?
>>751532705Decorations
>>751532896Technically you can harvest them at night as well but yokai wander your fields at night so it's safer to do it by day. Harvesting a cursed crop damages you a bit so make sure to not be low on health when you do.>big thingie is just cosmetic at night and it appear as normal during morningDo you mean the huge cursed crops like in >>751532651? Those stay huge and you need to cut them down with a sickle, axe or a pickaxe.
>>751533457>Those stay hugeHuh, but my cursed crops are all small, hence my question. Is this not fully grown or something?
>>751533610>Is this not fully grown or something?Only cursed turnips, corn, taro and napa cabbage grow huge and they will always do so on the day where they can be harvested. The rest are always small.
>>751533823Oh so it's not all crops, thanks.
>>751530918Then fuck off.
i finished it
>>751501428>cute op>look up game in steam>see pricewtf
I just got the shit kicked out of me by a deer.Why do they do so much more damage than boars?
>>751535663Its worth it. Great production quality, farming the equal of stardew and harvest moon and by the time i hit the end of year one i had put in 52 hours. I haven't even finished the main storyline and its already below a dollar an hour and thats good value for entertainment.
>>751536015You think those antlers are just for show?
>>751536015Deer are fucking crazy and retarded.
>>751534643You finished the story? Or Rin's requests? Or the field guide?
>>751537874the story, i don't plan on finishing the quide cause fuck all that furniture.
>>751537949Completion status? Unfinished.
>>751537949Did you enjoy it? Did you choose the correct ending?
>>751538080I wonder if they'll do anything more with that in the DLC.
>>751538276I doubt it.
>>751538080it was very cute and fun and sometimes sad. i feel like there should be more activities during the dayi chose to stay together
>>751538669>i feel like there should be more activities during the daySuch as? I'm curious about what they could add.
Village in the Shades
Tsundere love.
>>751512148How has she not succumbed to liver failure.
>>751526964Got to work for more.
>>751538080Kodama ending feels bad and unsatisfying, but why do people consider it bad? Not like Ame ceases to exist. If anything really bad happens he can be summoned just like Zanushi since Kisuke and probably Konno know the truth.
>>751539795She really seems to like Ame.
>>751539079what i mean is stuff that you could do to "kill time" and obtain resources. there's fishing, the mines and hunting, and i found that i didn't want to do any of those from time to time, when i had time to spare. i actually don't like hunting at all, i think it's super jank. so i think it would be nice if there were other activities that were beneficial to the player.i think cooking could be more fleshed out, i heard the devs didn't have enough time so maybe it was in the works? i mean, you can pound mochi, and i think minigames like those would be pretty cool and a nice way to "kill time". you could even have mini quests to prepare certain dishes to advance relationships or something. or make buffing potions or whatever.bug catching maybeif the bow wasn't so jank i'd say some combat dungeons or minigames but yeahi feel like the entire village is a potential for minigames, really, because of the various positions the villagers have. i thought the target practice near komako's house are gonna be one, but no. tobari hates cleaning, why not help her with a timed minigame around the village. play hide and seek with yoh. "competition" fishing with sumire/rokkaku, i dunno. i'm not very good with game design.night minievents are pretty cool, they should do more of those, both during the day and nigh, like the tamatebako, rats, red phone, the doll etc.
>>751539795>winter>no hat>piercingIs this postgame? How the fuck are you people getting this event this late?
>>751540170Aside from the fact that it denies Ame the opportunity to live a human life and it prevents Kisuke from finding closure, all the reasons for it being a bad end are subjective or speculative. The dead aren't supposed to come back to life (it's implied by the lore that nothing which spends time in the underworld can ever be as it once was again), and Kodama's sins (murders) are the sort that one typically atones for in death. I don't think Ame can come back after the Kodama ending either; Ame doesn't have a body of his own and in order to bring Kodama back to life (after Kodama has sold his soul), Ame must instead be sacrificed, no?
>>751501428I just picked this game up, got a few hours inDo you ever get used to the shark-tooth builder not being a girl? I don't know if I've ever seen them on a guy who wasn't Rance before.
>>751541268>winter, year 1>don't give gifts>can't be bothered to hunt down Tobari every day to talk to herIt's just that easy.
HOLY SHITThe dog is raping me
>>751541364I never once thought Kisuke was a girl. He's always been my wife(male).
You were trying to cross the border, right Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.
>>751541909What's that dead tree in front of your house?
>>751542000It's not dead, it just looks like that in Autumn. I think it's a peach or something. I got the seed from a bird shiny.
>>751541284When Kodama snatched his body and then had to give it back he could make a wish, but now that I think about it, it doesn't work the other way. I guess Ame could've sacrificed an eye to send Kodama back in his body, but that's not what happened, yeah. As for the underworld thing, I don't believe that's true. You shouldn't do it, but in the book the guy traded his existence for his wife and child and nothing implied they were any worse for it.
Bitch.
>>751542812Do not slander Rin.
>>751542812That's getting added to your debt.
>>751543193Sorry. I meant to say uggo.
>>751542812tobari...
>>751543249Another 100k added. Reminder it has compound interest.
>>751543449money grubbing Uggo bitch
Which Villager will be the most likely to get pregnant first?
Are blue events missable?
>>751542627I don't think Ame could sacrifice an eye to send Kodama back in his body. When Ame gives up an eye, he's trading the eye of a god for the power to reincarnate Kodama's soul (sparing Kodama from going to hell).When Ame chooses to stay in the spirit world, he saves Kodama's mortal soul by trading places with it. I believe the cost of bringing a fully intact human back to life must be far greater than saving a god from a wound or recycling a soul.
>>751541364I always thought he was a guy
>>751543832Yeah. I missed one that was presumably tobari and nago trying to go through the tunnel.
>>751543993Yeah, I missed that one too. Shame the game map doesn't have the legend explaining all the icons. I wanted to go there, but when I checked again later in the evening, it was gone.
>>751543668Normal answer: Sazanka when she successfully beds Nago, or Komako after she and Sumire explore each other's bodies.Degenerate answer: Kisuke after his wedding night with his God.
dumb stupid idiot deer get caughttoo bad the snare doesn't work on bears. 50 hits takes a while.
>>751543832Damn, I missed the one you posted. It would be nice if the game put a little blue star somewhere on the main UI (like the festival reminders) when a missable event is available.
>>751544230Huh.
>>751544230Does anyone know if the alpha deer and boar can get caught in a snare trap too? Also, can the alpha beasts spawn anywhere or only in the bear territory?
>>751544169Correct answer
>>751544230
YOU FUCKED UP MY FACE
Let's not do anything rash...
>>751543668Konno.
>>751544342Alphas only spawn in their own territory, so only one chance every day. The numbers I saw were the boar and deer have a 0.7% while the bear is 5%.
>>751545796>0.7%Shit
>>751545796wtf
>>751545879yeah the odds are pretty fucked up if true. They barely give any more loot than normal so other than getting the certificate once for the item list there's no real point to it.
>>751546042Yeah, I only care for filling out the field guide. I still have a ton of other things to do so I'm not in a rush, but I don't visit the hunting grounds every day so my chances of finding the alphas aren't good.
How do i get behind the kiki manor to grab the rat and gear in there?
>>751547223advance the story
>>751547223If it's anything like the Yomawari games - after the linear story, the post-game opens up, where you do all the item collecting and achievement hunting. There was even some content exclusive to the post-game, but nothing missable during the main story. So you should just play through the story at your pace first, then worry about collecting things.

I should solve the mystery of Ghost Cow, but I love them and I don't want them to leave my ranch.
>>751550328They're gonna make your herd upset
>>751550556Having them around lowers their affection gain?
>>751550628Yes.
>>751549876Just endure it for a little while longer.
>>751550328That fuck will come back repeatedly and you'll stop loving them.

Guys really live in houses like this and don't see any issue
>>751555083howdy
>>751555083To be fair he was trying to leave, no point in buying shit
>>751554076Rin, of course.
>>751555083I never saw Nago's house in this state. I guess I didn't build his affection fast enough.
>>751530312>10 years agoKodama possesses multiple villagers and has them go on a killing spree. Komako kills her own parents and Sazanka's parents as well as her dog, Yoh's mom kills her husband and sets their home on fire and is stabbed by Rokkaku the passing burglar when she tries to go after baby Yoh, Sumire's parents at some point die from the backlash of using the Nue pelt to regularly leave the village to sustain it.Oni and ghostsRin's family regularly invite yokai and gods to the land in order to weaken the powerful Earth God who, when in power, will instantly put everyone to sleep until they die. This is also a ploy to hopefully make it need less sacrifices.I agree it could use some more farmsim events, like walking up to random villagers having a dick measuring contest or something, without the old marker on the map telling you about it because it's optional as fuck. But overall I'm satisfied with what I got anyway since the characters have way more depth.
>>751543859What Ame's sacrificing is its body, which is a fair exchange for giving something else a body. Kodama's soul hasn't been claimed by the underworld so the hurdle shouldn't be that high, plus, Kodama offered up her soul (to Ame) to see Ame one last time, so Ame even had rights to both her body and soul. Kodama to begin with is a life and soul played with by supernatural powers so I don't see much karmic issue with that reversing it. None of the other villagers' souls remain so I assume they just passed on unlike her.
>>751501428>loses her hat after the revealshit sucks

Ame doesn't sacrifice their body either ending. Either Ame keeps it or returns it to Kodama. Kodama wouldn't say "there's nothing I can offer you because I sold my soul to see you one more time" if they had sold that soul to Ame. If Ame owned Kodama's soul, Ame would not have to give up an eye to take Kodama's soul back to the living world as a tree.>Kodama to begin with is a life and soul played with by supernatural powers so I don't see much karmic issue with that reversing it.

finished the story and don't feel like i have much drive to play out the seasons nowis stardew worth playing still? ive never played it but i heard it's getting some big update soon
>>751560213I'm still playing after the credits and enjoying it.I never liked Stardew.
Shame there's basically no farmsims that look this comfy aside from rune factory frontier. Everything else is all pixelshit or early PS2 shovelware.
>>751554637Yeah, but he's perfectly willing to kill you to do so. He also notably doesn't target the actual SOURCE of the corrupted bonds (for example, Malice), he just targets bonds that need to be severed - which often leads to people being harmed.
>>751557994Thanks. It's just that normally in these farming sims, that I like, there's this sense of "aim" so to speak. Like in HM/SoS, it's to woo village girls, and eventually marry them, building the hothouse, and on top of that, raising the animals, make them better, enter competitions, beach day events, events that are not just loredumps with other villagers, or just making money like in GB. From this angle, this game to me, just doesn't hit it. The story and characters are intriguing, one of its strongest, and possibly the best in the genre, but because of the carrot dangling nature, I'm just getting bored by it. Also, night raids are kinda overrated. I'm still early on, yet, I've unlocked like 75% of the skill tree. The artstyle is lovely. I think farming sims should just stick to artstyle like this or the Doraemon SoS games. Instead of going full 3D. It's just max comfy.
>>751560065>Ame would not have to give up an eye to take Kodama's soul back to the living world as a tree.Disagree. Ame sacrificed an eye to give Kodama a new body in her ending. You think that tree was free or it was just in a back pocket? Not to mention giving a whole body is a far bigger 'sacrifice' than an eye, plus Ame actually has the body on hand. It's still 'sacrifices' it because the person owning it loses it, not because of whatever arbitrary definition you're trying to give it. Otherwise her body would have never worked as collateral at ANY point in the story, such as when Kodama sacrifices her body to make Ame kill itself. Like how Kodama also sacrifices (offers) her soul in both endings yet either way it returns to the world of the living in some form. Owning a soul doesn't mean you can just take it and adhere to something else willy-nilly.>Kodama didn't pass on because he became a vengeful spirit and merged with the God of the Land. when Ame kills the God of the Land, Kodama is effectively "dead again" but this time as a murderer.And what happened to the souls of the other sacrifices? We see a random ass goat's soul end up as a tree, but no villagers. We can only assume they passed on because there's absolutely no sign of them. We already know the space where Kisuke met Ame and Kodama met Ame is a halfway between the land of the living and deceased, so it's not even fully passed-on dead. That allows for more leeway. I still don't get why people insist on Kodama being a girl. I can get Ame, since Ame is a god and who knows what kind of schlong god possession can grow if it wants (didn't age for 10+ years either), but Kodama has some pretty clear 妹の役割語. Think of it like a pirate, if someone goes yarrr matey, you think they're a pirate. They don't necessarily have to be, but by speaking that way they're clearly meant to make you think they are.
>>751561493>I still don't get why people insist on Kodama being a girl>being a guy*
>>751561264Listen, man, you have a brush with evil - you gotta pay the price. You can't walk away unharmed.
>>751561414While I get the progressing relationship with the player character is a weak point in this game with even most rank 6 relationship events being lackluster and you can't slowly develop the village or open new areas somewhat frequently (even if they're nothingburgers), it does try to do events with the monthly festivals. Now they're on the weaker side, but they have their own charm to them in a way, and I wish there was a 'villain role' in the monthly evaluation rather than an invisible NPC.Beach event would be hard considering the village doesn't have a beach and no one can leave it, though. Guess they could swim at the waterfall?
>>751561802A fishing, hunting contest would be neat. Anything really. Or fuck it, a Magatama Tin Pin Slammer.
>>751561493I think you're a retard, anon.
>>751548641Ame sure makes Rin's crotch wet
>>751562297And I think you lack reading comprehension.
>>751563134Your screencaps don't confirm your arguments, retard-kun.
>>751561414Everything you just described minus romance is in this game though. Also the skill tree expands three times based on story progression.
so can I kill Tobari
>>751564752No, Rin.
>>751562297>>75156461790% certain he's the shitposting schizo from the early threads. Or someone using similar arguments.
>>751564971Rin wouldn't. She loves her little sister.
>>751565063What part about open lore discussion is shitposting? If it's a wrong line of thought, prove it wrong.
>>751565486>prove my retarded theory wrongSounds like a waste of time.
>>751564971I just want to do the necessary thing that Rin doesn't have the stomach to do.
>>751566531Killing Tobari is NOT NECESSARY
>>751566531Do not kill the Tobari.
>>751566134So you're aware how retarded your own theory sounds and you have nothing nor the will to back it up.As expected of a retard who thinks that Kodama offered her soul up to never mentioned random God Tanaka to summon both Ame and Kodama's souls instead of to the literal god she wants to see who can also grant the same wish that she's been offering everything to since the start of the game, and then nobody god Ame comes by and pays far less than an entire soul (an eye) to steal said soul from God Tanaka and then doesn't have to pay anything to return it to life, instead of assuming Ame just had possession rights over the soul to begin with and was instead paying compensation to return it to life. Hey Anon, wanna trade $5 you just got for this shiny rock? You do? Great!
>>751566886Why are you having a meltdown over this.
>>751555083he has what he needs
>>751555083Damn bitch, you live like this?
>>751566886>a god's eye isn't enough to trade for a human soul, even though a human's eye is enough to trade for a god'sThis is your last (You) from me, retard.
>Finish story>Year 2>New seeds>There's still seeds locked behind year 3What the hell, why
>>751569817Timegating the seeds isn't that big a deal when so many things are timegated by seasonal evaluations anyway. Take your time.

I am starting to realize that late game processing your crops is a scam. You get more than enough money and there's nothing to spend it on so it's just a waste of time.
do i need to worry about hay/grass in winter at all? like does the grass die out, or will animals not leave when the door is open, or anything like that?
>>751580936You'd still want to make as much money as possible if you want to get the 10 million yen earning achievement, and who knows, maybe the DLC will add an absurd money sink in the game later on like the Kagatsu Theme Park.
>>751582356nope it all still works as expected. even the heater is just a happiness debuff on them and not required or anything.
>>751582356Grass will still grow, it might be RNG, but there were frequent snowy weather during my Winter so they do stay in their buildings a lot during Winter.
