That's good to hear, going to order Oceans then while I patiently wait for 4 to come out in the EU.

FrickenMoron posted:I'm more of a fighter. Farming is nice but I liked exploring dungeons and fighting and interacting with the townsfolk. How is the game in that regard? This is pretty much why I never played Harvest Moon but all Rune Factory games prior. Also is Runey bullshit in? I know you were asking about Tides, but on this tack for RF4 if you consider it, a big problem with some of the dungeons in RF4 is that your partner AI isn't quite sharp enough to work around some of the traps. Xiao Pai really struggled to stay alive in the volcano dungeon for me because she'd just keep running into fire plumes. So did my buffaloo, but he had so much HP and defense that he didn't really give a poo poo. I actually find that the villagers I've used so far have felt a bit squishy compared to the monsters in general, so far. Xiao hits like a goddamn truck, especially once you give her the better axes (her strength growth is obscene), but she's got like half the MC's defense despite having mostly comparable gear. Even Forte is sort of weirdly squishy, despite having a high base HP pool. On a different tack: does anyone know what the requirement for starting "formal" dating with a potential significant other is? I've gotten Xiao to 7 and then some, but she still seems to think I'm trying to play a joke on her (and the MC's reaction to this at this level is actually quite -inducing). Do I need to get another heart level or two, is there some kind of specific event that needs to trigger once a S.O. reaches a certain affection level, or what? I'm also a little amused by the fact that the game generally doesn't seem to react to the murder dates I take people on, but that's a somewhat different subject.

Well it's probably going to be almost a year before I can even play RF4, so thanks again Nintendo. I never used AI partners in 3 because I was too afraid of them dying.

It's still pretty random, try again in a few days after lavishing her a bit. Let us know what happens when you do, I'm vaguely curious. Confessing to Margaret was kind of heated, as she was greatly concerned about the logistics of a human-elf relationship and kind of drills you a bit to ensure you're absolutely super serious about you taking things to the next level. It's not much, but once you start dating, bachelor[ette]s gain additional abilities for combat as well. Margaret's looks like Daria's ~RAINBOW!~ from RF3, except the rainbow wave heals you and your monster and cleanses any status effects. Emalde fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Oct 4, 2013 |

Wait, so do your AI partners die permanently if they die in a dungeon run?

No, they just pass out until you change screens, where they get back up with a tiny amount of HP.

Just got my hands on this and I don't think they have excluded anything that made RF3 own and I am super excited.

I've finished the second dungeon and...where the heck is the bronze? I haven't found a single mining node that gives bronze, yet all of the second tier tools and weapons need it. Third dungeon?

Is there a Japanese wiki around I can shoddily google translate? Some of the requests need me to grow stuff I don't have access to, but they are also the only requests that increase the stuff I get at the Flower Shop.

If you're talking about the Sword/Shield flower, you have to be in the 2nd arc to access it. They come from Dungeon Seeds, which are obtained this way.

I've updated my compiled list of Rune Factory 4 hints and tips. If anyone has something that should be added, let me know in this thread. Crazy how far some of you are. I'm just on Spring 22 Year 1. Just beat the second dungeon. Oh, question. The Tin Waterpot AOE move is painful as gently caress on my RP. What the gently caress? Revol fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Oct 5, 2013 |

Revol posted:Oh, question. The Tin Waterpot AOE move is painful as gently caress on my RP. What the gently caress? Get more farming skill - when you first upgrade your tools the RP cost is absurd, but after a few skillups from using it regularly, it gets affordable again. I upgraded to a pot that waters half the field at a time, and I went from burning around 1/4 of my bar on watering my fields to my full bar.

To get higher level seeds sold in stores you have to ship higher level crops/flowers right?
|
# ? Oct 5, 2013 20:49 |

That doesn't seem to unlock right away though. One of the requests gives you "higher level turnip seeds in the general store" as a reward and that presumably opens up that function. Or maybe it was just a while before I shipped a level 2 crop instead of turning it into a dish, I dunno.

To memory in RF3 you had to sell the seeds, not the plant itself.

In RF4 you can do either, crops OR seeds will unlock higher level shop-seeds. I found a lv8 turnip in a dungeon, shipped it, and I'm swimming in super turnip seeds the next day. Does anyone know how to grow sword/shield flowers? I can guess what those are but have no idea how to get them. The request for them is just sitting there, mocking me. EDIT: Also the seeds unlock on shipping, aka 8am that/the next day. EDIT2: I'm stupid and don't read threads hurrrr. Thanks!

drat, this Black Unicorn is a lot harder than the last boss. I suppose I'm not meant to tackle it on the first day it's available like the last one, am I? Need to grind up my stats more! EDIT: I forget if this is how, but if you ship seeds of a higher level all seeds at the store become higher level too, right? Seems like a fast track to upgrading your profits.

It'd be nice to actually get armor and a helmet on my character model. Are either of those things available? I feel a bit silly subjecting my dude to the slings and arrows (and magic and teeth and claws, etc) with him wearing a hairpin or a ribbon instead of a proper helmet.

There are visible clothes you can buy eventually, an order opens up that store. Most of the headgear seems to be on the order of hairclips and poo poo though. Edit: After you finish the second arc, is there anything specific to do to advance the story, or does it just happen with time? I got the scenes where Venti restores the guardian's memories, and where you get the whole town to see how she really is, but nothing has happened since. More Edit: Nevermind, it finally started.
