In other news I need to figure out ways to bullshit those turrets in Rune Prana. I have the 80% resistance things but even with those on the turrets in the 4th stage do so much damage that it still kills me very easily.

How do I get resistances over 100%?

Gonna start Rune Prana soon, any general tips?

>>122444752
You should be upgrading your gear constantly. There should be anew ore or material every few levels that you can use to craft better stuff.

There's a room early on full of fire mages behind a barrier that you need to get past. Eat some icecream and use a ruby brooch to get some fire resistance.

Traps should be avoided because they always take a huge chunk of your health.

>>122444752
Don't let the dead-end fool you.
Be a master crafter and be intimate with property inheritence to get the most out of your armor/weapons.
Prepare your behind for a Bunsen burning if your timing is bad at several points.
Get candle in Parapa Palace, head West.

>>122442139

Man, there is something weeeeeird going on with that left eye, like either it's not at a flush angle with that side of her face or the artist re-did it and didn't fix the surrounding stuff. The floating eyeliner isn't helping much either.

Don't know, man.

It looks to me that it's banking on nostalgia from past HM/SoS games, with its graphics and premise. Marriage candidates are either edgy or stale, like some words were put together to make that character appear unique, and not much else. I think it also borrows some elements from Rune Factory as well, with its cave crawling and monster fighting.

I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and see how it will go. The game's apparently still in development.

If you married Pico, how jealous would Dolce get? How does the logistics of that even work? If Pico disappears if she gets too far from Dolce, then you'd have to bring Dolce along everywhere kind of like how Dolce already is with Pico. If you and Pico had kids, then would your kids be half ghost? If they were, I would be living the dream.

>>122510681
Pico is just a magical ventriloquists dummy for Dolce, it's why Dolce doesn't have monster parts like the other 3, why Pico can't get too far from Dolce, and why she speaks in quotes, because it is someone else speaking for her.

If Dolce has conscious control or not, is rather unclear, but conscious or not she is just a way for Dolce to say outrageous things while shifting the blame to the dummy, which is the entire basis of ventriloquist acts IRL.

>>122514431
I used to think like that too because the Dolce/Pico dynamic is fascinating but it turns out the truth is a lot less interesting.

>>122514431
>Implying Pico isn't the ghost of a girl who brought her beloved doll(ce) to life, losing her own in the process

The devs are passionate about the franchise, but they are burnt out to the point that they don't really actually play the game; which, combined with Bethesda-tier QA, lets in some really obvious bugs that might get fixed this week, or might not get fixed for years. Also, fags mad at other games by them will DDOS the servers, which are at one location for all games, so RF 5 will get shut down too.
But you will have full character customization, and there will be some good mechanics and stories under all the bugs, so you will eat it up.

Fug, posted this in ac general because I didn't realize there is a rf general.

So, I played the first rf and din't like it, really loved the concept but hated the farming and the combat. Do the sequels improve a lot? I'm interested in rf 4 mainly.

>>122586683
Farming and combat is better. Buy or emulate RF3 to see if you like it any better.

>>122586862

What about 4? I want to play the latest one.
Is that a good place to start?

>>122587390
Yes. You'll miss some nods to other games, but that's it.

I suggested RF3 because most people can't emulate 4. RF4 is the best one in the series.

>>122587390
Aside from missing some cameos and references to the previous games, you can get into 4 without having played any of the previous.

I pirated 3 and played it for a couple hours to see if I liked the idea of the games and I did, so I bought 4 a few days later and have been loving it ever since. 4 is pretty self-contained as far as I can tell. It's not a direct continuation like RFF was.

If they aren't using spells or claws/stingers/fangs, Monster girls use weapons made of demonic silver that doesn't cut through flesh because they just want a future of peace and love. It's literally MGE's version of the Tamitaya spell, but rather than send the cut-down humans to any forest of beginnings, it just leaves them incredibly aroused, more than likely unconscious and thoroughly corrupted by the dark energy upon what would otherwise be a fatal slash

Actually hang on a second. Wasn't it a plot point that only Lest and Dolce can see Pico? If that's the case then does that mean Dolce looks like she's talking to herself all the time to others? She must look like a crazy person to everybody else.

Except, there are times when I'm pretty sure I've seen other other villagers respond to Pico, but I can't think of any specific examples off the top of my head.

Would Pico be able to share though?

>>122597465
That sounds interesting. So if a MGE spear were to be jabbed into the heart, it'd just cause a boner instead of a heart attack?

Speaking of Tamitaya, I was worried that it wasn't applied to my weapons somehow when I first played RFF. I like when series break away from the "kill the monsters" thing, like fainting in pokeymanz, tamitaya in RF, and apparently sexy "stabbing" in MGE.

>>122601931
If you want a logical answer, it's probably a perk of being an earthmate.

Real answer is that you're the MC.

They can still see the effects of her actions. It's a lot easier to rationalize a ghost in that situation than crazy girl doing magic pretending there's a ghost. Especially since the prince also sees it.

IT KEEPS HAPPENING

You know how blood type determining personality is a popular thing in animu? I think it'd be fairly easy to work out what blood types the RF4 girls have.

>>122611036
I don't even know what blood type I have

>mist has gone missing

I'm not sure if I really want to save her.

>>122611193
In Japan, it's about as big of a deal as one's zodiac sign, I think.

>>122602409
Yep, that's how it'd work. They're so desperate to leave humans alive and "show them the light" that they take those into battle against the Human troops trying to slay them with more regular weaponry.

If RF5 took place in the Empire, I wonder if the more evil among them would even bother applying that to their gear?

MGE world really appeals to lonely guys. It's so damn easy to get laid there.

I meant monstergirls per se. The MGE world is somewhat messed up though.

>>122621840
I read that as "Rune Factory Ara" for a moment.

>>122621079
Well, it WAS made by a salaryman who pretty much said as much. Though I think rather than the sex he wanted the "true love" and "honesty" parts to be key elements, with the sexual stuff being a result and culmination of it.

As for location, we've always heard of the Sechs Empire (which is as large as Norad where most of the other games sans Tides take place in) and have had some glimpses of how their society functions, but we've only really SEEN a small part of the northernmost border.

The sheer landmass of Sechs allows for just about any type of location to be used for RF5.

General question for you folks; what do you do after you burn out in one or multiple of these games, head off to something else? Force your way through the burn out? I'm at the point where I've benched both SoS and RF4 for the moment just to take a breather.

>>122645115
I just do something else. Most of the time I work on my backlog of games that I'll never finish.

Like right now I'm playing through RFF, but after the snow ruins I decided to play some Smash for a while.

>>122645115

Play other games.

I quit playing SoS for a month and a half. Played Civ 5 and Recettear during that period and now just got back to playing it.

>>122645115
Done with Lest, and all that's left with Frey is to have a kid. Pretty much done with RF4 for a while.

>>122645764
>Recettear
Great, this is how it starts. Now I'm gonna play that and ignore oceans, then I'll play another game and forever ignore it

>>122645289
>>122645764
Glad to know that others take a break to do other things. Dude I feel you with that month long break from SoS. Guess I'll start up Waifu Emblem again for a moment to break things up.

>>122645115
m80, I'm primarily playing other games right now. I've got SoS going basically as a bathroom game, along with whatever I've got going on my Vita. I don't think I've played RF4 in over a year, or at the very latest since SoS came out. PC gaming for life.

>>122650872
For the most part I asked that question because I spend the better part of 10 hours a night at work, which is about 75% waiting for nothing to happen, so I've got ample time to waste on portable gaming, I'd love to play some other things at this point. Sadly my only portable is the 3ds and phone.

It turns out the people who used to translate his encyclopedia years ago were intentionally changing a lot of it to be incredibly dark (when the source material is only dark in a different, more subtle way). Needless to say, he eventually found out (he can somewhat into english) and requested that they stop because they were butchering his intent. They replied to the request by sending him death threats, guro pictures of his monster girls and the like. Since that time (approximately 2010 - 2012) the translation of the encyclopedia has moved to different and more capable hands. If I remember right, he elaborated on the intent of his works through those communications and in some of the pages of the MGE books themselves.

>>122683231
ANB is really slow and flawed. It gets better later on after the tutorial is over and you've learned to horde everything that you find, but you shouldn't force yourself through it.

The sequel, Story of Seasons, fixed problems that people had with ANB, but it's still really similar to ANB.

>>122684026
ill restart it soon i think and see if i can get into it again

>>122684826
Keep in mind that the tutorial is the first in game month before you decide to restart.

>>122683231
Tutorial is the whole first month. It's garbage, but gets way better after that. If you have access to SoS just get that, the girls aren't worth it. Though if you're into dudes the guys might be - they aren't completely otome characters, though they are more fujobait (I'm pretty sure most, if not all, of the dudes are gay before FeMC comes and straightens them out.

>>122687590

You can crossdress and pretend to be a girl.

Just like in real life.

>>122687590
>same-sex relationships
I don't think there are any in any of the games. The closest you can get is in RF4 where you can create a female character and then after you beat Act 2 you can change your character model to the opposite sex.

I think there's a few traps/reverse traps in some of the later Harvest Moons too.

>>122687952
haha but that wouldn't work afaik since the char has to be a girl to have a bf, so i'd have to pretend i'm a boy as a girl character. or are you talking bout yuri relationships

Amber's would probably be May 26th. You know, "April showers bring May flowers."

It's kind of odd when you think that the world of Rune Factory has a year only 4 months long. The world's sun must be dimmer, so the planet has to orbit closer to get the same energy that Earth does from the sun.

Not a red dwarf star though. Otherwise the year would only be weeks long, and the plants would probably be black instead of green. And the planet would have one side always facing the sun due to tidal lock, so there'd be perpetual day on one side.

>how much is there to do/upgrade in this game
There's an alarmingly large list of things to do in the game.

>how much is there to add on to your house/farm
You can expand your farm, add monster barns, and add new rooms to your room, but not much beyond that. You can also upgrade your house items like your fridge to hold more stuff. There's some furniture to buy that you can move around, but it's not as in depth or have a ton of content like Animal Crossing.

>is there crafting and is it fun
Crafting is a huge part of the game because all the high level stuff gets prohibitively expensive and rare if you don't just make it yourself. It's mostly about finding the right ingredients though. I'm not sure what you look for in a fun crafting system so I don't know what else to tell you.

>can i level up my followers
Everybody who can join your party has stats, levels, and equipment just like you. They level up like you do too. You can upgrade the town by adding new shops and enabling/disabling certain festivals. There's also a tourist count that you can keep expanding by having festivals and advertising your town but I'm not exactly sure what it does. The town management stuff is pretty ancillary to the game and just something else to do. It's not a core mechanic or anything.

Maybe he's not strictly referring to animators but to the people that create the source material as well, which animation studios tend to follow. Also they are not necessarily misanthropes.
