DACK FAYDEN posted:Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny is on sale. I loved RF4. Should I bother? I loved this game. Get it. However, people are correct when they say that farming is less involved so go in prepared for that and you won't be disappointed. I enjoyed the villagers quite a bit but that comes down to preference I suppose.

TurnipFritter posted:So what are we hoping to see in the Next Anime Farming Game? Rune Factory 5 with everything that the previous posters mentioned plus I want a home console release for the Wii U/PS4. That or if handheld is an absolute "MUST" then please port the game to PC and release it on Steam.

Smoking Crow posted:These style of games don't lend themselves to console releases. First of all, you'd have to develop for hd, and Marvelous doesn't have that kind of money. A slow rear end game on console isn't as welcome anymore as it used to be. You need that pick up and play element for it to work. Harvest Moon isn't what it used to be. Just take your dumb anime farming game on 3DS RF Frontier, Tides of Destiny, and HM Tree of Tranquility were awesome. That plus many past titles in these series had console releases over the years.

Smoking Crow posted:But how well did they sell? I looked some of the titles up on vgchartz, but I am not sure how reliable these figures are. If someone is aware of more reliable sources then please feel free to provide additional data. HM Tree of Tranquility (Wii) moved 0.82 million HM Animal Parade (Wii) moved 0.73 million HM A New Beginning (3DS) moved 0.78 million RF Frontier (Wii) moved 0.36 million RF Tides of Destiny (Wii and PS3 combined) moved 0.39 million RF 4 (3DS) moved 0.43 million Xavier434 fucked around with this message at 19:30 on May 5, 2015 |

SirPhoebos posted:I did do a literal when I met Gerard and Kelsey. I mean I know I'm not going to discover Gerard is actually a pedophile, but what the hell, Japan? He is a just acts like a very flamboyant anime who decided to take in some foster children and raise them. Not sure how that alone gets linked with something as terrible as pedophilia.

Sage Grimm posted:What I want back in HM is some form of automation. Harvest Moon DS had the harvest sprites come and help water/harvest your vast fields of yams but subsequent releases either shackled their use or done away with them entirely. Sometimes I don't want to perform the same actions over and over again. Sometimes I want I enjoyed how Rune Factory Frontier handled this. Raising the farm animals was it's own progression system where the more friendly you became with them the more work that they were willing to do for you daily. That plus different animals were only capable of doing specific jobs. At the same time though, Rune Factory adds in dungeon crawling as a key activity that you spend your time doing. Unless the HM game had more for me to do then I am not so sure that I would want to automate farming much. Xavier434 fucked around with this message at 16:29 on May 6, 2015 |

The work the monsters did in the fields was fast and quite plentiful once you get them up to a certain level which I don't believe was all that high before I really felt like they could do it well. You are correct about the shipping bin issue as well as the dungeon plots though.

Does anyone have opinions to share about Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon for the PS2? I never played it and I was thinking about giving it a try. I am curious to hear about its strong points, weak points, and how it compares to the main Harvest Moon and Rune Factory series.

The Colonel posted:the thing about innocent life is that it's supposed to be exploration-focused, but it takes a week before you can actually go outside of the farming area for some reason, so it's pretty easy to get bored and drop it long before the game opens up Good to know.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:As a general rule, the console Harvest Moon/Rune Factory games are either saddled with gimmicks that make them weird or unfun, or are just bad. I really enjoyed Tree of Tranquility, RF Frontier, and RF Tides of Destiny.

This is why video game opinions are worth so little. I did not enjoy Animal Parade and quit mid way, but I have replayed Tree of Tranquility with lots of satisfaction several times.
