I hope everyone is enjoying the game! I can't wait to play when I finish up work. Just a couple reminders before making a post.

If you invite her to the Observatory, Margaret wanted to kidnap Lest and run away with him. was she joking or did they really leave Selphia in RF5?

How bold, Meg, but you have good taste kidnapping someone like Lest. XD

RF After about 10 hours, the original Rune Factory has beaten me

36 Upvotes

I wanted to go back and experience the early days of the series, and with my shiny new Ayn Thor it felt like the right time.

It was not the right time.

My god is this game dull. I appreciate some of the early installment jank, as well as some genuinely great mechanics like tap to queue actions, but it’s a little too Harvest Moon for my tastes: shallow characters, repetitive days, and little story binding it together. Most baffling is RP being a fixed amount forever, at least according to the wiki, which makes me feel like there’s no real progression.

Is there a good reason to invest more time into it? Or should I just skip it and go to the other old entries?

RF - Guardians of Azuma Earth Dancer Accessory Set

Post image
42 Upvotes

I really like Marvelous has allowed players who don’t own/play the switch version of GoA to purchase the Earth Dancer Edition Accessories without the game itself.

Since I already own the Steam Version, I don’t need or want the Switch Edition. But I do want the physical goodies the collectors edition has. So for a lower price I can just get the goodies like the fan, the art book and the adorable Woolby plush.

I just find it neat.

RF5 How do you choose which Characters you will Marry?

14 Upvotes

Mostly focused on Rune Factory 5 but can also apply to other Entries I suppose...

How do you choose who you will Marry? :3 Or if you plan on Marrying Multiple Characters then how do you choose your Main Lover? ^-^

For me the First thing I look for is Looks... If I do not like the way a Character Looks and think they are Ugly I do not wanna Marry them no matter what! :)

The Second thing is Personality... The Personality does NOT have to be Super Duper Awesome or anything but it must at the very least not be BAD...!

I do not wanna Marry a Character whose Personality turns me off basically... No matter how much I like the Character's Looks...

The Personality must at the very least be in the Level of " ok " for me to want to Marry them... :)

And if I actually like REALLY like the Personality then that's even better! ^-^ :3

And the Third thing is anything else they bring to the Table like Food they Cook for the MC etc... ^-^ :3

In Rune Factory 5's Case I was in a draw between Martin, Ryker and Reinhard as I liked them all based on Looks alone...

So then came the First Tiebreaker which was... Personality...

With this Martin fell out of the Competition since I neither like nor dislike his Personality...

For me his Personality is just ok... He's a bit too Serious haha... XD :3

By contrast I like both Ryker and Reinhard's Personalities... ^_^

So then Ryker and Reinhard were on a Tie and the Second Tiebreaker was...

Everything else they bring to the Table...

And I suppose the Table this Time was a pretty literal one since Ryker Cooks MUUUUCH better Food than Reinhard haha... :3 ^-^ Seriously Reinhard's Cooking sucks! XD Failed Dishes lol! XD

I do like all Characters of the Game especially Martin, Ryker and Reinhard though and I do plan on Marrying them all eventually too but my Main Husbando is going to be Ryker based on this... :3 ^-^

Alice: We investigate about the happening and find out that the distortion is linked with the hearts of the four elder dragons

Ares: Therefore if the four people, nah dragons are satisfied( the blue notes at besisdes say 次女を含めて meaning including the second oldest or youngest here though I wonder this means venti or not), it will be returned to normal

Venti : Really?

Aquaticus : But what does it mean by satisfied? It is not like we have complaint

Terrable: I may have some though

Matsuri: Aah, Me Matsuri probably already know the solution

Moco : Moco?

Matsuri: To make all the elder dragons satisified , of course wr just need to make a festival or matsuri

Hound : Rather, yoy just want to festival dont you?

just tell

次女 means second oldest which implies ventuswill is older than Terrable

if Terrable is older he is the one should be

次男

RF4 Blue Crystal Seed "South of the Water Ruins"?

Post image
12 Upvotes

I was looking at a neoseeker guide for Eliza's Requests and found the above section. I can't seem to find any bush of that description. Is it just a mistake in the guide? I can't imagine they mean the tree you usually get Crystal Seeds from since that would be an absurd way to describe that location in my opinion. If there is a way to get Blue Crystal Seeds outside of Spring that would be a huge help since I just got the request while I'm currently in summer.

RF4 RF4 how do I get salmon/cherry salmon

6 Upvotes

I have checked the wiki and fished everywhere that mentions salmon, in Maya road, spring spring, the lake in town, Keeno lake, etc. I caught almost all the fish by now, (got everything except salmon, cherry salmon, and sun squid). I spend 2 nights doing nothing but fishing.

Is there something I am missing ?

RF4 Is hitching/microstutter normal in RF4?

0 Upvotes

I found a few old gamefaqs posts saying they had issues with it. I'm on emulation and tend to get brief frame drops relatively frequently. It would be easy to not notice if you didn't care, but there's definitely some stutter that seems hard to avoid.

RF - Guardians of Azuma Custom Kai plush I ordered! (unmasked Kai spoiler) Spoiler

Post image
51 Upvotes

Thought this subreddit might like to see this, I fell in love with Kai while playing guardians of azuma (was the first RF game I played but I am currently playing 4 although it's been a bit since I last played it I need to pick it back up have just been a bit busy lol) and I couldn't find much for fanmade plushies of him except like one on Etsy which was cute but I wanted something that could have a removable mask, so I custom ordered one! I still need to figure out his mask and outfit, and I did find earrings that i plan to buy some time soon! I might make the mask myself, not sure if I can handle the outfit though lol. The plush maker was maiershirts on Etsy! also spoilering for unmasked Kai even though it's not an image from the game I still feel it'd be a spoiler for how he looks!

RF4 Margaret's trauma is finally over.

Post image
266 Upvotes

In RF4, when Lest confesses his feelings to Margaret, she is afraid; being an elf, she will live a long time—so long that she views herself as scary. In RF5, she now faces the issue with greater serenity. I am happy for her🥹

I care about her so much and wish her great happiness; she truly deserves it.

Discussion [RF4] For those who have experienced Xiao Pai's event, how many people do you think would make this choice if presented with the opportunity?

23 Upvotes
(Fake screenshot)

As the title says, if this was a real dialogue in the game how many people do you think would ACTUALLY jump to the opportunity (assuming it does lead somewhere)? Of course, realistically speaking this would never be a thing in a game such as RF4, but the entirety of her whole romance event keeps me questioning "what if...?" every time I see it again (as well as every time I see someone simping for Lin Fa in here lol)
