>>4120783
Well it's in the name, duh, you dumy.

>>4120786

Still, a lot of work for a dummy map. Almost looks like a mini game/board game, I don't remember 2's wifi being that interesting

>>4120789
You are lucky, I don't remember wifi at all.
But it looks like a very simplified, very short version of the Game of the Goose. It might be why it's was scrapped off.

Don't you just love when you discover that you made a mistake of one single case and has to redo a big part of your field? At least Rice day is there so it won't be too bad, but ye gods, some buildings. What are you expecting from me game?

I wish there were mods that put more fields, more villagers. I don't even know what villagers you need exactly to take care of 8 square of 9 cases.
I'll marry up soon, it'll be between Iroha, Ulalaka, Russian Vergil or Amaterasu. Though Kanata kind of suck in battle in term of healing, something that Ulalaka is good at.
Bah, I wish I could marry Suzu or Sakuna. Please tell me which one of them has a good post love confession storyline.

>>4120783
Very interesting. Maybe it was for some festival?

>>4120922
After a bit of digging, I do think it was for the wifi. Crazy because I only remembered the weapon crafting part

>>4120922
You think the machine could have handled so much characteres on screen for that?

>>4120947
is why it didnt made it into the game

>>4120913
you can date all 4 at once
i only did kanata's (and matsuri's) post confession, and both are on the cute side rather than cool. i like moe so i enjoyed it.
noja story is about growing up and leaving the nest, a continioun of her bond story if you will, but while i make it sound a big deal remember who we are talking about.
ps. you can use 'sorano' as a nickname when dating her but not after getting married, which is a symbol of how she left that chapter of her behind- at least in how i interperted it.

>>4121111
But anon, cheating is wrong.

>>4121118
It's okay, the only people in GoA who care if you cheat are Kurama and Cuilang if you start dating Kai after them.

>>4121124
Is this game for girls or what???

>>4121118
as one men in /vg/2dhgg/ said,
its not ntr if theres no ring

>>4121142
Next level, it's not sex if one the man doesn't cum inside?

>>4121148
no, next level is 'its not sex if theres no penetration'.

>>4121128
idk but it was funny seeing the girls get upset that Cuilang or Kurama was mad at them though (and try to mod it out)

>>4121151
Serious? Is the feminization of RF?

>>4121156
It's always appealed to both men and women though, on Marvelous's old website from 2 and 3's release it's a pretty even split of "I'm a man who likes these games" and "I'm a woman who likes these games"
But this isn't the place to get into a gay circular argument about it, save it for the /v/ threads

>>4121160
...I wasn't making it a gay circular argument. Just pointing out that the girls have more and better stuffs.

>>4121165
I didn't mean to imply you had already done so, I was just worried about it devolving into that sort of argument later.
Anyway, both sides have some stinkers (like Mauro, literally the bottom of the list lol) and some good picks. Subaru (male MC) also gets a bad set of events for the feMC, people were posting it back in the day and it was baffling at who thought it was a good idea. Basically the events revolve around Subaru pushing Kaguya away and implying that he was getting close with Tsubame.
Kaguya's events for Subaru are way, way better in comparison. And you just can't beat Ulalaka and Kanata. I do really like Fubuki and Kurama though.

>>4121165
maybe we aonly know it because only girls cheat. try cheating and see what happens.

>>4121156
Yes. It was a *very* masculine franchise back then.

>>4121182
>Subaru (male MC) also gets a bad set of events for the feMC
I've heard about it, mostly that Subaru was a very annoying, very pushy piece of shit, the kind of thing that could make twilight fans swoon. And I sure as hell won't be replaying it as a FeMC to see that.

>Mauro
Mauro is like Hina. And Hina can only gain some points because of her boss form. Both are hard carried by the nostalgia of RF5, because apparently people wanted that. I haven't played RF5 so I wouldn't know. Seriously their stories are nothing but nothingburgers, which is saying something.
Mauro is carried by the De Sainte-Coquille name, and the mermaid Porcoline, and I was saddened that they gave up the french accent.
Sayonara. I am Porcoline De Sainte-Coquille.

Still would piss on Kaguya's events. God I hate. I hate it I hate it I hate it, how vanilla and pushy do you want your meal sir? Iroha stay in her zone at least, and she gave me that cool fan, and I seems to be the minority. That don't get any powers or moves.
>Fubuki and Kurama though.
Fubuki's entire character is being the bestest floofy boy, and having a twin brother that he wants to kill, but strangely this brother doesn't want to kill him. while Kurama is being a shut it gamer due to trauma.
I'm surprised you haven't mentioned at least Kai, but I guess Kai is for Yachiyo.

>>4121222
fuck piririka, i wish the dlc was yachiyo instead

>>4121222
Kai is popular with women I guess, he's all right but I don't really get the appeal.

>>4121242
Kai has the 'bad boy' vibe.

>>4121237
The problem with Pililika is that she got events, but who is she? Where does she come from? What is her motivation? Her goal of life? I want to like her, but it's impossible if she is just barebone with a storyline that has nothing to do with her and just Human and Bear shouldn't kill each others. reckelessly.

>>4121242
He's a devil may care guy who love to be difficult for laughs. Worried about his race, worried about his friends too. On the outside he's a bad boy, on the inside, he's good boy, and a tsundere.

>>4121218
I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

>>4121253
I suspect that her and Cuilang are "future entry settings" bait. Probably not 6 but the games beyond.

>>4121253
If I'm remembering right, her romance events go into her family way more and she chooses you over the werebears, of course

>>4121258
So more chinese setting, or a more... I forgot which subcuture Pililka is. I'm not against it.
And speaking of Cuilang, we know his story, his backstory, his motivation, his family, even his feet. HIS FEET..

>>4121259
Wait a minute, are you telling me that Pililika isn't a person able to speak to animals but is in fact a werebeast? If so, this change things, not a whote lot, but still.

>>4121253
Pililika is a bear.

>>4121262
Pililika is ainu, they are less a subculture of japan and more like a nation that used to share the island with them but got ereased.

>>4121263
Holy shit, this explains so much. They could have done a reveal like with Cuiland though instead of having a whole arc around how killing the nice bear is bad.

>>4121266
I learned something, I genuinely though it was just a sort of... different japanese branch.

>>4121270
she even has cute little bear ears under her hat :)

I love a guy who's supportive of me going out and kicking ass. And as for that thing with Kurama and Cuilang it's cause Kai has an event where he's so excited about dating the MC that he goes around autumn village introducing them as their girlfriend(or boyfriend i guess if you're into that) to everybody and of course if you dated the other two beforehand they'll have a reaction to that.

>>4121312
Doesn't Yachyio explain it's out of self consciousness?

For me, the biggest turn-off in piririka is the way they implemnted her as a marriageale character. the very first thing she did in her bond story was push (you) on the ground (its not subaru, its (you), notice camera angles) and im like girl wait untill we know each other better. it calmed down later on but she still felt like she doesnt belong to the rest of the story, like hers is a complete standalone. and while a lone hunter may be part of her character, being a lonely person doesnt mean she has to alone, look at kurama. he is a loner but his stories still include plenty of characters. he is part of the story. cuilang manages to blend in, somehow; pirika just feels like an afterthought which is a pity, i wish they took their time with the dlc if she was gonna get such a shallow story.

>>4121729
This IS Rune Factory after all.

At least we can tell that Pililika is as much of a degenerate as Cuilang. Pililika rides you, Cuilang shows you his feet.

Hmm, I dunno, RF4 had really shitty storylines. RF1 was more basic than basic-it was minimal.
RF2 didn't try a whole lot of "backstory outside the town" much did it? Still basic but not really hurtful

A little shit?

Say, how do you make the milk and eggs into max levels in GoA? I know leveling the monsters give them a higher tier, but not a higher level.
Apparently?

>>4122705
It's friendship/hearts

>>4122721
They have friendship in GoA?

>>4122723
Maybe I'm misremembering and it's level based too, my bad

>>4122738
I was confused because try as I might, I saw no sign of friendship or hearts. Apparently it's all level based.
Which is a bit annoying if you want to have Fur or Eggs of lesser tier for quests.

If these books are save points then what are those owl statues for?

Teleportation, maybe?
Or it could be a GOA frog statue equivalent

>>4123131

>>4123140
What do these frogs do?
>>4123456
Well there's one in from of town as well, so I think they might be for teleportation, not sure why they're sculpted after an owl though. There's also a mailbox in front of the house, so they're not for that.

>>4123672
I'm confused as to why they would need so many spots though now.

>What do these frogs do?
Nta but you use the Dance of Bounds on them and get one or multiple recipes. It's also one of the "Gotta Catch them all" sidequests.of the game.
And the last of them are behind the postgame. Spoiler alert:It's a problem because you need to get married to unlock the postgame lmao.

I'm starting to think Kanata is the moe girlfailure route, which is funny, but one note.
I fully mastered Sacred Treasures and Practical Abilities but I really wish there were more because sheesh, I have 2794 Cooking XP, and 6512 Social Activities that does absolutely NOTHING. I also maxed Short Swords, Long Swords, and on my way to finish Dual Blades, Evasion and Hyperfocus are soooo good.
I'm not sure which one I prefer, Long Swords or Dual Blades.

A funny thing I noticed is that the Matsuri Hanabi of Concord has a fire visual effect, it's pretty neat. I wish other elemental weapons had that. It might also be why the Woolies I recruited have no furs on their bodies.

Every Villages has 100 except Winter who is always at 60 --except when I wind a contest there but then it drops back to 60. Dunno why. I only have a few missions to do.

>>4124904
You might not technically have enough houses in Winter, I remember that happening to me.

>>4124922
Technically?

>>4124928
I remember it not saying that I was short on houses and giving me a completely different message when the game ACTUALLY meant I was short on houses.

File: I now see the problem..png (1.31 MB, 1600x900)

I think I see the problem, I have 23 Villagers. On the middle zone I have a Humble House (6 Villager), 5 Merchants around, on the upper zone I have three merchants and a Thatched Roof Cotage (3 Villagers), on the left side I have one Izakaya and two Humber Houses (4 per houses), on the western zone I have not much, just a Large Barn with a villager working. Still figuring out what to do with the Winter Village, it's tigher than Summer. So that's a clear 17 housing for 23 Villager. It's bad calculation and forgetfulness on my part.
Plus the other villages, even Summer, has access to Exotic Houses, so obviously they got a lot of places.
And who thought it was a good idea to make the Exotic and Zephyr Houses so big? And the last one so big AND useless?

I have 23, 25, 25 and 23 Villagers per village respectively. They really don't want to give the best ones, I only got some of the best Loggers & Miners, yare yare.

Calm down, you were both in bathsuits.

I'm a bit disappointed the Kanata's dates, at first it start off good, but it pretty much become a crying fest that isn't really solved, she's still a crybaby. A cute crybaby.
Iroha's first two dates are a bit boring, they squabble for the dumbest things and then Suzu go somewhere, so you and her will spy on Suzu. My guy, that last date better be the mother of all date because I'll drop her like a potato.
Ulalaka's first date, it's obvious that what she said about Human/God relationships is working her up and just can't ignore it. I'm hopeful, I'm hopeful, is this the second coming of Meg?! We also discover that she has no futon, but a lot of empty sake bottle. My gal...

Japs have weird customs, plum tree, plum branch and Special Sake.

>>4125817
meg is a cheerfull onee-san who puts on a brave front, i think the closest goa gets to her is in either ulalaka or hina.
t. romanced neither

since you are gonna be a manwhore, try hina too (and all the boys while you are at it, you know, collector's pride)

>>4126274
Speaking off, I've seen mods about the kids having horns, ears and even eyes. Don't get get that sort of things normally? Why does Hina has horns.

I don't want to be gay...

>>4126522

in goa, yes. amybe there is a mod to let you costumize the kids regardless of your spouse.

>t. computer went dead before he actually got a kid and he didnt get his old save file yet nor does he feels like playing trough everything again
Understandable. Harvest Moon, Stories of Seasons and Rune Factories aren't series that are friendly to replay, but GoA would be an even bigger problem.

>>4126530
>>4125817
at any rate, meg is meg. if you try to marry 'meg' in goa you will just be misrable. get a girl you can like for who she is and not for how closely she resembles meg, because that resemblance will make the lack of meg even more jarring.

>>4126533
I liked Meg because one, she's an elf, elves are good, and because she has the best storyline. Dude is human and is going to die young, but girl isn't and is going to outlive him. When good old Porco gently but firmly put the problem in front of her, she panic, run away, and encounter a monster who steal her voice, but lived the exact same problem as her, except in the worst way possible, she believe her man abandoned her when he just died and left a message in a bottle in hope she would get it.
Compared to literally every other storylines, Forte can't be the knight because of sexism, Xiao's dad retarded ass keikaku of he should kill himself and his family too, Clorica's my family are hyperactive unllike me who slowactive so I'm angry because you are acting like them making decisions for me, whatever the hell Amber is, and Dolce's parents issues and her communication problems... Meg isn't just a diamond in the rough, she is a fucking star in the rough. This metaphor make absolutely no sense and I'm glazing Meg way too much but hopefully you'll get my point.

The fact that she may be the best companion is just a bonus. Best is relative since humans characters sucked by end and postgame. Even the monsters spsince they are so random in their attacks. Meg spam bravo and heals a lot, it's hard to mess that up.
It's something they really should solve in future games because they haven't really done so in GoA. Some characters even misses their attacks! Hello Matsuri. Strongest god my ass, more like jobber god. She's lucky she is cute.

Is it me or is the concept of enhancing your gear kind of stupid, costy and useless? Only gear I thought about enhancing was the Adventurer's Caps I kept on the head of everyone because of Rare Drop Boost but even that
And why did they think that making forging normal things and talismans separately was a good idea, on top of the magatama being such a paiiiiiin.

>>4127050
They needed a gold sink

>>4127078
That's a stupid ass gold sink.

>>4127079
I didn't say it was a good one

>>4127090
There's a money sink, it's called crafting and building.
One thing they could have done is to make elemental pauldron having identical stats, so when you fight something that use an element and get blasted, you would actually think of upgrading one of them instead of having such a gap of DEF and MADEF for all them and the element not mattering; And for things like weapons, you could upgrade them, not like in RF4, but simillar, you could custom them, decide what boost they could have, what they could look like, maybe even adding effects or elements.
Of course, the game would need to be more difficult for it.

Good grief, my head was stuck with Adventurer's Hat and my accessory slot with Lucky Loupe, until I replaced it with Lucky Ring. For the entire game, occasionally changing the pauldron.
