So a few months ago I saw a trailer for a game that looked kinda like a 3D Rune Factory. It had farming and monster fighting and all that shit, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
If you don't, let's just have a Rune Factory thread anyway fuck it

Amber is for babymaking!
Ever Oasis?
Nah it wasn't that. I think it was indie
Re:Legend?
Yep that's the one. Thanks friend
My time in Portia?

Apparently they've been rather quiet ever since they got funded on kickstarter. Who knows when that game comes out or if it ever will.
If I remember right it's being made by chinese devs or something, so I'm keeping my expectations in check and I'm expecting a real bad cash shop,
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin?
I remember seeing a .webm from what seemed to be a farming game a few months ago. It looked like it was set in a fantasy-ish rural Japan and you played as what seemed like a tiny 1-foot tall witch or something like that. It looked like it was from a trailer and it had English text talking about restoring life to the land or something I think. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? It didn't have a cartoony art-style, also; the color palette was kind of drab.
That's the game this user mentioned
Just saw the trailer for the game but Im having the weirdest de ja vu right now, have you said the same thing before?
It's like i remember having a dream about this thread,
Fuck, this is literally the exact game I was thinking of.
Xiao-Pai is best girl, yes?
It's Forte
Wrong, no nikuman for you
you're stuck in a time loop user, get off 4dchan
Her mom is better.
Yes.
Why not both?
Looks interesting.
I've always wondered why there's no rice and wheat farming in Harvest Moon games (or the ones I've played).
All moms are better, but the best you can get are younger versions of them.
Why are three out of the four bachelors so androgynous looking in RF4? I mean I like cute boys too, it's just that, would it kill them to keep a variety?
Milf factory when?
Shame that none of these RF clones have good waifus.
There's both rice and wheat in both of the Story of Seasons games, which are the latest HM games to be released.
They'll probably stay going forward.
Kind of makes you wonder, is it that hard to create a good waifu?
Why are the innkeepers so hot?
What about soybeans?
>Xiao Pai
>Tits
It can't be that hard. They just don't seem interested in doing it.
I dunno about you guys, but half the appeal of these games are the dating sim elements. I hate seeing all these successor games without it.
You get more bachelors later on; don't decide too early.
Save meeeeeeee
Attracts more customers especially if they also have a cute daughter
No, I've got every one including Leon right now.
Those are also in both SoS games.
Oh, I assumed you had just started because you said "three out of four"
...
Enjoy your eggy farts
Who has the biggest tits in RF4 aside from Nancy?
Yeah I meant that Arthur, Leon, and Kiel look androgynous. Dylas looks more masculine than those three. And shit I forget about Doug and he doesn't look androgynous. Okay maybe it's not that bad.
Forte or Meg
Clorica best girl
Still have that save where I'm seriously starting to develop my relationship with her and I just stopped there. Burned out hard I guess.
Why did she become a butler instead of a maid?
Fighting the patriarchy.
If you want maid waifus you need to play either RF1 or Oceans.
She figured Butler clothing was cuter. I support that choice.
Doesn't Frontier also have elf meido?
Volkanon only knows how to train butlers
47th for Pia
I mean what, do maids technically do different jobs from buttlers?
Yeah, but that's covered in "play RF1" since it's the same character, Tabatha.
A maid is engaged in the domestic work of a household such as cleaning, cooking, and washing whereas a butler is involved in the supervision of all other servants
>Milf factory when?
Not soon enough.
So you're telling me there were invisible maids working at the castle this whole time and I didn't know?
>I dunno about you guys, but half the appeal of these games are the dating sim elements.
I couldn't care less about the dating sim elements, I enjoy having somewhat fleshed out characters that you get to know, but I honestly enjoy the harvest moon aspects more.
Got the info from:
differencebetween.com
But I kind of like the idea of invisible maids
Strictly speaking the actual duties of RF4's "butlers" seem to just be those of generic servants.
>that pic
I just like the whole package to be honest. The farman, the dungeonan, the meeting-characters-and-a-bunch-of-them-are-cute-anime-girls-and-you-can-marry-onean.
Wish there'd be a real RF5. Lord of Magna wasn't that at all, but it did have some top cute in it.
>tfw not born in the universe where Rune Factory 5 was a thing
Just emulate the Wii version
i have that happen to me every now and then on here. Fucking 4chandela affect
So if you're a guy who is more skilled with house work, cooking, parenting and other skills like that but not be as skilled in management, could you become a maid (male)?
Wii by the virtue of being the only version of the game.
>could you become a maid (male)?
Only if you wear the uniform
Well I'm retarded, Tides of Destiny was on PS3. Thanks.
>Is Fronter best on Wii or PS3?
PC if you can, it emulates perfectly and works a treat with a 360 pad, I've got it on Wii and the controls are a bit shit, visuals are garbage and it's a pain in the ass without Runey hacks.
I wasn't even aware it was on PS3.
Not subjecting yourself to Frontier is the best version
>Not subjecting yourself to objectively the best Rune Factory game.
What did he mean by this?
That's fair. But even HM has the dating sim parts.
umm no sweetie, 3 is best RF
It's fucking horribly slow, and the stupid little spirit vacuum mechanic can suck my dick
I thought somebody said RF5 was happening?
RF5 is currently not happening, but nothing is stopping it from happening.
The only thing currently happening is a new SoS game for the Switch.
They did announce that they are working on RF5 and that Neverland's bankruptcy wouldn't impact it IIRC but that was years ago.
Activate Runey cheat lmao
Are there any other games that are comparable to RF?
Farming with dungeon exploring? Not with the same kind of depth.
Stardew valley maybe, kind of, not really. The farming is really basic and the cave exploring is nothing special. It's more like one of the first harvest moons with some basic fighting and a dungeon tacked on.
I know "Popolocrois a story of seasons fairytale" is a mix between an RPG and story of seasons but I don't know anything about it to say how much it holds up to both of the series. Also combat is turn based from what i see.
Maybe Elona+ Custom, but just maybe.
Elona+ is a modded version of a japanese roguelike that is more focused on farming/stuff-collecting/resource-managing/monster-capturing/waifu-building than dungeon crawling (Custom is the English translation mod with extra features). The concept is similar to Rune Factory (you can get a farm, a ranch, a shop, become a travelling merchant with your girl or girls or girl(male) or talking horse, etc), but the actual gameplay is completely different (typical "I move everyone moves" turn/grid-based gameplay, permadeath optional if you want to cry like a bitch because you're waifu sacrificed herself to save your life during a bandit surprise attack) and the waifu part is mostly custom-made (except for a few special NPCs, you have to create your waifu's AI, skills and dialogue lines on your own, appearance too but a default one is available. You can download all that from other people if you want, though).
There are a few HM/RF clones popping up on Steam's early access, but I have no faith in any of them.
>tfw hit that feel where you don't feel like playan vidya for a long while
>right after getting 4
I feel so bad about it
I was familiar with Elona, but it seemed a bit LOLS SO RANDUMB at first, and I don't recall the waifus having stories/personalities/dialogue. Does +Custom fix that?
Old Elona is really just ADOM made in Japan, but Elona+ is a whole new thing (new continents, new quests, new waifus, new cuddling features).
Like I said, except for some NPCs (goddesses, some secret little sisters like the masochist and the brocon) you have to build your waifu from scratch, or download the a dialogue.txt from someone else. Elona thread on /jp/ have some stuff you can download.
>You can download all that from other people if you want, though).
Is there a centralized database of English-translated characters? Or would I be reduced to scouring random blog posts to find shit? Because I've been down this road before.
/jp/ has a general thread try there
Would people play a first/third person style Rune Factory game?
If it was good, sure
So... Frontier and Tides of Destiny?
I was thinking something a bit smaller and more intimate, but more interactive, potentially with VR support.
Is ToD first person?
I don't see why not. Would make some of the more flashy combos kind of dizzying, then?
Combos and Combat in general would probably be significantly different.
Can we all agree that brawling is best style?
That or dual blades
Nah, see.
Brawling > Single Sword = Longsword > Spear > Dual Blade > Staff
>you will never play rune factory 5 on switch
Rune Factory 5 is still coming anons.
Marvelous absorbed all the people that were working on it thats what lord of magna maiden heaven got released, same guys and Marvelous told them they can continue working on it.
Rune Factory is not dead but please stay tuned.
List some additions and changes you'd like to see in the series with RF5.
>Hard mode: no complaining about rng
More tomboy waifus
MILFS!!!!
A better farm that what we had in 3 or 4, I didn't like it being the back yard of the castle, it felt very small.
A much bigger town with more things to do. Despite being the capital of a kingdom the town in RF4 was small as fuck and had nothing to really do.
Bigger fields with more variety, not just several small fields with different screens.
Also make seasonal shifts effect the outside world. It was the dumbest shit in RF 4 having it be winter in town and summer outside.
Would any user care to sell me on this game? What's the appeal?
Farming life and bullying monsters.
