I just picked this game up because I saw there was a DLC for Sakuna and I love the rice goddess loli. Is it any good? I've only played RF4 and I loved it a lot, spent 100+ hours in it. Also general RF thread.
>>3796404Yes it’s good so long as you’re not a crafting autist who only plays these games to fulfill your crafting autism. (But if that’s the case you should really be playing something like Atelier over Rune Factory anyways where crafting is actually the focus, RF has always just been an extension of Harvest Moon and is focused on being a life-sim first and foremost), most regular people only play Rune Factory for it’s social and dating sim mechanics, and in that respect it’s as good as any other Rune Factory that’s not 1, 2, or Tides.Also now that our generals have been kicked off of /v but Rune Factory is finally back, /rfhm/ general revival WHEN?!
>>3796550I did like the crafting at first in RF4, but I'll admit toward the lategame the crafting grinding got a bit insane.
>>3796604Are you the OP? You should post this thread on /v/ too, you’ll get more traffic there.
>>3796606Getting more traffic from underaged summerfags posting cropped Zelda porn isn't a very appealing prospect.
Played the game for the first time and it crashed immediately after the first boss. Incredible.
>>3797212it never crashed for me, I had stutters and lags when there was a lot going on the screen but never a crash
>>3797212I beat it on the steam deck without a single crash, that's wild.
>>3797745>>3797976Yeah I couldn't find too much info on crashes either. It's weird because my rig was running it just fine overall, it's not the strongest PC ever but it runs pretty much anything out there just fine. Just got done playing the RE4 Remake on high graphics just fine.
>Can’t do this with HoundShit game.
>>3799361>can do this with fubuki100/10 best game every made, will name my children after him
It’s a 6 out of 10. The game is “fine” or “okay.” I wouldn’t go so far as good but that’s just me. It starts out fun but gets old before you roll credits.
>>3799595>It’s a 6 out of 10. The game is “fine” or “okay.” I wouldn’t go so far as good but that’s just me. It starts out fun but gets old before you roll credits.What are you comparing it to? Other JRPGs? Action RPGs? Life sims? Harvest Moon/Rune Factories?
>>3799993I’m not comparing it, or I would have mentioned a comparison. I am scoring it off of its own merit.
anyone knows how to find this dungeon here?it cant be the post game dungeon, thats at the end
>>3800178I think that one's the Old Village. You fly there and it's not a dungeon, look for the random light pillar
>>3800341nah, it isn't I already visited itexept if there is another dungeon inside there that I missed
>>3800346Another dungeon? It's just basically a roomNo, not the place you rescue Ululaka from, it's the old village you and the other MC came from. It's one little map with a shrine, some non-quest archery targets, and a hidden chest you find with the staff
>>3799361just once I want a yandere bachelor in these types of games, but not a shota one that’s gross
>>3800421>thinks shotas are grossWhat are you, some type of normalfag?
>Director keeps retweeting MC/Hound fanart, including ones outright begging for Hound DLCWhat does he mean by this?
>>3801951white(haired) women....
>>3801951keep your mental illness on /v/
bros I beat post game and still haven't found that location, what the hell is going on?
>>3802441I'll check my list when I get home this evening
>>3802441it's ??? village where you go to buy ??? seeds
>>3802487I wish more farming games did mystery seeds, they're funI think it's just Stardew Valley and ToT/Animal parade
oh no, the old lady got prosessed by fubuki
>>3802441You didn't explore the sky islands?
>>3802775>turns out if you never manualy land in spring village, that point of interest doesn't get unlocked even when you originaly start your jurney therethats dumb
>>3802532IT HAPPENED AGAIN, she is speaking tounges
>>37964045/10 game at best.Has fuckall to do with Rune Factory so if that's why you bought it, might as well refund it.Combat is garbage. Farming barely exists. Crafting doesn't exist except through predetermined menus. Story sucks.About the only thing half decent about this game is the village building if you care about that but even that is limited and not that great.I have no idea why anyone talked about this game at all. There are way better games to spend your time on.
>>3803043Oh yeah, the spring skies teleport locationI didn't find out about that until almost the end of the game
>>3803171Shut the fuck up, retard.I love RF and I just started playing this last week, and I love it. It's definitely different from a mainline game but it is by no means a bad game, or "not RF".
MOGGED
>>3803171>Combat, Farming, Crafting and StoryAbsolutely none of those things matter in a life-sim and are tacked on window dressing at best. What really makes or breaks a Rune Factory is the social life and romance and family aspects. Are those well-done with lots of dialogue and interactions? Well congratulations you have yourself a good Rune Factory then!
I really liked the Viatrea lore dump desuReally have to wonder were the fuck the games are going next after RF5 and GoA's developments though
>>3803310>>3803775Both of you are retards and only a retard would play a farming game for the life sim. They are called farming games for a reason. The life sim portion only exists because at the beginning of the genre, there wasn't enough things to do without adding that in.I have played farming games since the original harvest moon on SNES and the only time I've given a single fuck about villagers was when a festival was going on or something is locked behind talking to them.The fact that you dick suckers think that is the main pull of these games is retarded. I will give you that AT BEST 50% of the base likes or cares about it and most of that 50% are women who would be just as happy playing Animal Crossing which also has fuckall to do with Rune Factory or anything like it.
>Features>Adds the ability to adjust village farmer behavior in the Options menu. You can now toggle the following tasks on or off: sow seeds, water fields, and harvest crops.>Adjusted the volume of certain lines for Zaza and Woolby in Japanese.>The Sacred Sword can now harvest crops over a wider range.>Added new warp points for Spring Village’s and Autumn Village’s development zonesThey unfucked the game bros, well for switch players anyway, pcbros have to wait.
>>3803951That's funny because pc got the last patch first
>>3803775the dialogue and interactions aren't very good compared to rf43d was a mistake
>>3803989Over the shoulder 3D was a mistake>tfw we could've had a watercolor-style game in the vein of the doraemon sos games but in minako iwasaki's artstyleI've said it once, and I'll say it a thousand timesWe were robbed
>>3804024For Harvest Moon maybe, that style can fuck off for Rune Factory
>>3804031I would rather have it and have it look like 1, 2, 3, and 4
>>3803934>The life sim portion only exists because at the beginning of the genre, there wasn't enough things to do without adding that in.>I have played farming games since the original harvest moon on SNESI can tell you’re an LARP zoomer because if you weren’t you would know that the original creator of Harvest Moon, Wada, always intended for the series to be a life sim first and foremost and it’s actually the exact opposite of what you first claimed. Hell, some of the games entries he’s directed such a A Wonderful Life or Save The Homeland barely even have farming.You want a pure autistic farming simulator than go play Farmville, the genre has never been about that and you know it.>>3803989>the dialogue and interactions aren't very good compared to rf4 3d was a mistakeWhat does it bring 3D have to do with anything? Are you implying no 2D portraits makes it less immersive or something?
>>3804209the reason conversing with NPCs is sluggish and limited is because of the 3d models/face to face camerathat's why there's no group dialogues outside of scripted cutscenes and why they wouldn't waste lots of dev time scripting such cutscenes for miscellaneous events throughout the year
>>3804262>the reason conversing with NPCs is sluggish and limitedHow is it limited?>No group dialoguesThere is though, you just have to put certain combinations of characters in your party.
>>3804209Except no one gives a fuck about what he intended. In the end, it's the farming part that's interesting. This retard is the same guy who fucked the whole series over time because they couldn't envision the idea of giving freedom to the player and got quickly outclassed by other games as soon as any rival hit the market.Even on the SNES, it was funner to try to see how many berries you could carry from the forest to your bin before the day ended than it was to find villagers and hear what useless bullshit they have to talk about. The furthest I've ever interacted with that system is picking out a wife from all the chicks available and only because I consider it part of beating the game.
>Director still retweeting Hound bait shit like pic relatedReally what is his motivation for this?
>>3807323suffering
>>3807323fueling your mental illness
I miss harvest moon...
>>3808035>I miss harvest moon...? The Grand Bazaar remake is coming out next month anon…
Bumping.
>>3808237I hope that game turns out good
>>3813697Cute and canon
So who here is picking up the Grand Bazaar remake?
Are the special versions of 3 and 4 better than the ds originals?
>>3818461QoL aspects they are, also add some minor bits of content, as well as offering JP VAs but at least in RF4's case it takes a pretty heavy hit in graphics by adding some garbage filter over it, not sure if 3S corrected that as i havent looked into that one too much, aside from that they're upgrades i think
>>3818451I am, it's around my birthday so I'm hoping the universe will give me a good game for a present
>>38185323S had a little more work put into it (like with the item icons and the NPC/monster models), but when it comes to the backgrounds, they were still run through a version of Waifu2XA more modern version of the one they used in 4S, but still, they could've at least dedithered the backgrounds first
>>3818540Think 4S got a mod to de-filter it, not sure if 3S got the same treatment but yeah that's all i can think of that was a real negative with those 2 remakes. Aside from personal preference in that i prefer te 2 screen format the DS provided
>>3818543Yes, it did. I made it lmao. I was going to look into one for 3S but I want to redo 4S's mod first now that I got my grubby little hands on a 5090 and I can train better upscaling models much faster.
>>3818561Bless you then anon, not sure why they couldnt have just left that as simply an on/off option as id rather have the old "ugly" 3ds textures then the trash filter they decided to use instead
>>3801951>literally just a murderous psycho>no redeeming features>would kill every other god in the game given an opportunity>eats humans alive and demands human sacrifices>his twin brother who is a good person is RIGHT THERE>women still desperately want to marry himScary…
>Clarice just moved up a spotoh nonono Irohabros
>>3821163Pilika Pals…is being DLC locked too much of a nerf?
>>3821271DLC isn't a part of the achievements, otherwise Cuilang would be way up there
>>3821285…The autismbot is popular?
>>3821326Women love him
>>3821392>Women love the awkward bot man and the theocidal serial human eating wolf man>Guys like the sweet motherly woman with huge tits and the childbood friend
>>3821501Who likes Iroha the canon wife?
>>3820168You think if it was a girl it would be different?
>>3822439people who play Kaguya, the canon protagonist and ship her with her canon lesbian wife with their canon gay turnip babies
>>3821163Man the women and gay men love Kai huh. Maybe I'll see his stuff
Anyone here got the Japanese guide that just came out?
Bump
>>3821326>>3821392>>3821501I personally feel insulted guys got a cute bear waifu for DLC while us girls got a literal walking vibrator when we could’ve had the Hound…
>>3828920Cuilang's a good character, though
>>3831123He’d be even better if he weren’t a robot, like his design, not so much the fact that he’s literally a programmed A.I. It just ruins immersion.
I wanna kiss my plastic husband
>>3799362>>3822671>gayshitYou have to go back.
Grand Bazaar remake releasing in like a day, reviews are already up and they’ve been pretty good so far, seems like it’s a massive step up over the original…Who’s getting it?
>>3833574I'll take one for the teamI liked the original well enough, I just hope this one added more map
>>3833574The food expiration thing is kinda putting me off.
>>3833895>The food expiration thing is kinda putting me off.Who the fuck cares about that, is the dialogue good? Is there a lot of variety?
>>3834034I don't know. I haven't played it yet.
Started RF5 last night, played 4 some years back and liked it. 5 is...kinda weird? Can't say I remember everything from 4, but menuing in 5 feels kinda bad. Also I'm far from a graphicsfag, but the game looks like an uni student's project, they should've either taken their time or stuck to the old style. The furniture placement system is also pretty ass and triggering my autism. The rest is decently enjoyable so far at least, though I haven't gotten very far. Being able to run into males' affection events as a guy is absolutely diabolical, what the fuck
>>3836376>Paw, make me a harem protagonist!
Grand Bazaar's pretty fun so fardefinitely fixed my issues with the original
>>3836900>Grand Bazaar's pretty fun so fardefinitely fixed my issues with the originalIs there more daily dialogue now? How’s the dialogue variety compared to say RF4 or Trio?
>>3837285There's a lot more dialogue from what I can tell. There's contextual dialogue too, like in the newer games.The heart events/villager events are really good so far (still in the first spring), even better than GoA in terms of expressiveness and framing, in my opinion. In fact, even though I chose to have portraits on, you really don't need them on (but I'm glad that they're there)
>>3837365i should mention I should've said "a lot more dialogue than the original" and definitely not more than rf4
>>3837368>i should mention I should've said "a lot more dialogue than the original" and definitely not more than rf4More than POOT at least right?
>>3838206I didn't play that piece of shit so I couldn't tell you
>>3838231>I didn't play that piece of shit so I couldn't tell youSo which game would you say Grand Bazaar’s dialogue variety resembles?
>>3836376>Being able to run into males' affection events as a guy is absolutely diabolical, what the fuckI seriously don't understand why these games can't just add a sexuality option when you start the game.If you pick straight, you only have straight romance options/events. If you pick gay, you only have gay romance options/events. If you pick bi, you get all romance options/events.Why is that so hard? Instead, most games with romances now just force you to be pansexual.
>>3839026I would say the first SoS on the 3DS, maybe a bit more thanks to all the contextual stuff
I started Rune Factory Frontier yesterday.After GoA this game feels so much better.It's sad how much they walked away from the original way of this franchise.
>>3839145>After GoA this game feels so much betterIn what way? What problems did you have with Azuma?
Grand Bazaar or Azuma?
>>3840560If you like farming, Grand BazaarIf you like combat, Azuma
>>3839145I'm still sad they didnt continue with that graphic style, it upscales pretty well to the point it might be the best looking game the series has
>>3840647What about for socializing/dialogue?
>>3841219They're both pretty good in that regardThough Grand Bazaar has events with villagers and not just romantic interests
I don't see any more Grand Bazaar threads up in /v/ so I hope you guys don't mind if I ask this question here.Are any other pirate fags trying the game? Install says to block the exe in my firewall so the game doesn't go online but is this something you actually have to do? I didn't think the game had any online features. If so what are they?
>>3841773It possibly checks for DLC? It has a DLC menuI'm not sure, actually
>>3841798Well I guess I'll block it anyway, it just seems pointless that's all.
