Mmm I feel like Hashimoto has brought that aspect of Rune Factory into Bokujo lately, at least with Trio of Towns. Granted it's not as deep but I feel like it goes pretty far.
LeadYoke that's why it was the best. 🎵Where'd u gooo,I miss u soooo,feels like it's been forever since you've been gone,please come back home🎵 On the new hybrid home console. *crosses fingers*
LeadYoke only downside you'll find in 4 that I still love is that damn near all of the social events (including marriage related stuff) are random and makes it feel as live and at the same time so much stuff to do if you don't focus souley in them.
The "Rune Factory" series is easily one of the most underrated of many video game series out there and it is a hidden gem that many people have gotten hooked on once they get started on their first "Rune Factory" title! It is a farming simulator, dungeon crawler, and dating sim all in one with town events such as festivals all the way to status building thrown in so you never run out of things to do in your gameplay. I'm guilty of telling myself late at night, "Just one more in-game day and then I'll turn off my game!" It is that good of a video game series! The music is wonderful, the events are often relatable to many of our own personal conflicts, and the characters are lovable or at least most of them are. Not to mention the Anime character art style makes the "Rune Factory" series an attractive one. They have 3 games on Nintendo DS, 2 on the Wii (1 of them is also for Sony PS3), and 1 of those is for Nintendo 3DS so there's technically 6 "Rune Factory" games in the series with many loyal fans begging for yet another "Rune Factory" game despite the fall of Neverland gaming company who was responsible for the "Rune Factory" video games. Keeping my fingers crossed that Marvelous Entertainment or X-Seed picks up and continues the project!
4 is my most played 3ds game. Still grinding to get level 10 friendship with everyone to unlock the new game+ish mode. Vishnal is the best husband. I dont care if he cant cook, he is adorable!
I discovered this series years ago and it was absolutely amazing and I have all the titles. I love rune factory 4 and 3 the most. The characters and their different traits are very unique and its become one of my favorite j-rpg games.
I played and love Rune Factory 4. The farming felt actually rewarding and the characters were charming. I dropped it at some point at the ending when I found a game breaking glitch but I picked it back up after finding out a way to circumvent it. It was certainly more enjoyable than Harvest Moon or Animal Crossing to my taste.
Thanks for the great video! I am also here after the latest Direct. I’m starting up Rune Factory 4 now even though it’s getting a re-release on Switch. I can’t wait to discover this series. Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll be able to import our 3DS save to the Switch.
I absolutely love the Rune Factory series! 4 has got to be one of my most favorite games. Going from 4 to 1 is difficult though. I tried to replay Rune Factory 1 recently, and I totally forgot the tool shortcut menu doesn't pause the game. I ran into battle, needed a potion and was like "Oh god why is he still attacking me???"
I hope you enjoy it. Im a huge fan since their first game in DS. If you watch gammalad i assume you like harvest moon. If you like harvest moon and like a bit of rpg then you'll find this game amazing.
I love Harvest Moon~i haven't played it since the gamecube one~super excited to get back into it~rpgs are one of my favourite genres too so it's a perfect combo~ ^w^
I have 800 hours put into runefactory 4, my all time favorite game, no matter how many times I play it over it's filled with so much emotion and character I can never get bored of it.
Why can't I accept Porcoline's confessions of love. Edit: Also thanks for creating a great video for this series. Saw the announcement at the direct and most people watching looked like they wouldn't even give it a simple look. Seeing people in the comment who never knew the series now finding interest in the series makes me happy.
I remember I first started playing RF4 and didn't really get far before putting it down. Then I really got into it and I stand by it as one of my favourite games. Everything from the combat, the lvl system, the characters/ relationships, the farming, and crafting is a pure joy. ♡
I had never played a story of seasons game before but i decided to give rune factory 4 a try a year or so ago and loved every second of it! I hope the video makes more people try it out.
Dude rune factory is the most underrated game. Along with their other games. But rune factory is the best series of games that I've played. Thank you for making this.
I saw Rune Factory 4 browsing through E Shop late at night and bought a physical copy the next day. I fell in love with the series. I loved the story and the characters, and I loved the references to earlier games that the second arc had. I bought and completed Rune Factory 3 (which had one of my favorite final bosses, especially with how you win in the end), and I still don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do to advance the plot in Rune Factory Frontier (I'm in like, my fifth year or something and I'm still on discovering Whale Island 😂). I love this franchise and I desperately want the next entry to be announced one day. I even got my best friend into Rune Factory 4 a few years ago. I think 3 and 4 have some of if not my favorite final boss fights of all time. I love Rune Factory for the lovable characters and investing stories.
"Start on Rune Factory 4" I actually thought rune factory 4 was the first game and it wasn't a series. Once I found out it was the FOURTH GAME IN THE SERIES. I almost freaked out. But of course I bought all of the other games XD. I'm a little sad you didn't mention the marriage factor.... I've completely finished Rune Factory 4 and I am now working on the other ones~ AND THIS AMAZING COMMENT SECTION MADE ME SO HAPPY!!! I actually think that everyone should at least try this game out... it's got so many different factors to it. So wide and vast full of game play and data. And now I'm rambling... Thanks for making this videoooo!! And ps.... There was a rumor to be a 5th game going to be created...
I distinctly remember being about 11-12 years old and I got some Christmas money (which I never got before) so we went to a large toy store. I was trying to pick the perfect thing to buy, and I really couldn't find anything. While my younger sister was buying her toy, there was a display by the cashier which was Rune Factory (the first of the DS line). I grew up with Harvest Moon, so when I saw 'A Fantasy Harvest Moon' under the title, I was game. One of the best purchase decisions I ever made!
Thanks a tonne! I played rune factory when i was younger and couldn’t remember the name till i found it today. Nice to see the franchise has done well. I’m looking forward to the release of 5 so i can get back into it.
When I Just got a 3ds I was at game stop looking for a good game to play. I saw Zelda link between worlds but then I saw rune factory 4 on the next shelf. The art on the box is what got me intrigued and looked so damn pretty so I got it! Best decision in my life haha sorry link.
This is the perfect video i always wanted to see about my favorite series! I think Rune Factory 3 had the best story and characters, but Rune Factory 4 definitely has the most content, best upgrade system and longest story line
Grimoire Hunter Yea 3 was supppper good but you can beat it way to fast if you know what you're doing. The inly gripe I (and everyone else for that matter) have with 4 is marriage random events. I had cheesed the ever loving shit out of the sharance branch dungeon before it triggered
usa1ph Yes I really disliked the event system in 4, 3's felt a lot more personal and not depending on luck. 3 was definitely easy to beat, could beat it in 1 day, but it also meant you could try out every marriage option
Cool! Hadn't heard of this series before but came to have a look after the announcement of the Switch port of the 4th game along with a new 5th one. I'll certainly be trying them out when they release. Thanks for the info, my man!
I flipping love this series so much! I remember when I was like 9 years old and received a DSi for doing so well in school.A few months later my parents let me start picking out games for myself. Rune Factory 2 was one of the first games I ever picked for myself and I enjoyed every second of it. I would play it every single day after school and had homework done. Point is this is an amazing Series that deserves all the love it gets and I am glad to have received the chance to grow up with it!
I own and have played every Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons and Rune Factory game. Harvest Moon was my favorite series of games until Rune Factory came out. Rune Factory 4 is my all time favorite game ever. It is the only game I can play from beginning to end, over and over, and not get tired of it. You can imagine my utter heartbreak when I found out that there weren't going to be any more Rune Factory games...if I were a millionaire, I would find the team responsible in making this game and pay them to continue their work.
Rune Factory 2 was actually my first RF game! I went from that straight to RF4 and only just now started playing the very first of the series. Not a surprise that I started with the two games Barrett was in. A great video as always! Why am I not subscribed to you? I gotta fix that.
I picked up Rune Factory 4 on a whim after seeing it for sale in a second-hand game store, since I knew of the series due to being a long-time player of Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon. It's safe to say that I fell in love with it. The faster pacing and more RPG-like elements of RF4 are seriously helping me get back into a style of game that that's starting to wear on me. I tend to fall into a routine when playing a main-line Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons game, but RF4 has really captured that sense of 'oh yeah, you can totally spend an entire week dedicated to grinding various skills' for me. Speaking of which, does anybody know if you start losing friendship with people after not talking to them for a certain amount of time in RF4? I remember that being really tedious in ANB.
Have a great time!! Rune Factory is absolutely my favorite game series, and I'm so thrilled to see interest bringing new fans into the community tangential to the direct. The developers are extremely passionate about this series and the quality of their content that has massively escalated over six games certainly reflects that--RF4 was like their swan song before the main development team was met with trying times, but they still found a way to protect the title. To see that passion alight again to revive the series after over 6 years shows how much they care for their work and appreciate their patient and devoted fanbase, all for good reasons. Regardless of which entry you start with, I sincerely hope you enjoy Rune Factory!
Rune Factory is one of my favorite game series. Stardew kind of scratched the itch while waiting for the next entry, if it'll come, but it's no Rune Factory.
exactly, i mean stardew valley is great and very fun. but goddamn i love me some japanese waifus and i need the funny japanese anime quirks they have with the series
i love rune factory so much. i randomly found rf2 in a gamestop and decided to get it. after that i was in love. bought every game and even got a 3ds just for rf4. i haven’t found a game that i loves more than rune factory. it has everything i love in it. i have always wished there was a way that it would get even more popular. i want more games, and i want more people to talk to about it. it’s such a good game and deserves more popularity. 💗
Thank you so much for making a video on this amazing series. It needs to get out of the shadows and gain a following, and people like you are helping to get it out there.
The first time I ever got a rune factory game it was Rune Factory 2. My parents got it for me as a joke xmas present because when I was a kid I used to say I wanted to be a farmer. And holy shit did that change my gaming life. Rune Factory is my favorite game series! Rune Factory 2 was sooooo good that I wound up buying all the other Rune Factory game (and Looked forward to everyone that came out after 2). I actually recommend playing them in chronological order. Not for storyline reasons but for the simple fact that (As far as the handheld games are concerned) The game ages well. Starting from 4 is nice too since I feel that the slow farming in 1 and 2 (plus the graphics) CAN BE somewhat off-putting. But once you interact with the town all of that vanishes. Frankly I didn't know Harvest Moon was a game before discovering Rune Factory. But goly it makes me think Rune Factory should have been the beginning (Though the game was created to be it's own standalone)
Rune Factory 4 was the first entry I've played of this series and while I still haven't finished the very last arc of the game I did basically complete the story lines XD I hope they come out with another Rune Factory game but I may have to look into some of the other entries... shame I don't have the Wii and PS3 but I can at least get used copies of the DS games ;)
A friend of mine recommended me this game, i was skeptical at first because although i love harvest moon and many rpg games i had never heard of this series and was expecting to be dissapointed. One day i went to my local pawn shop where they sell literally a bit of everything and BAM, rune factory 4 was there, got it i think for 20 bucks and i was like maaan is it worth it? Well, to this day it is my favorite game ever on the 3ds, its so full of content, characters, items, quests, the main story line is awesome everything is awesome. Its just sucha good game i cant even fully describe how good it is.
Hmm if I am to recommend where to start: Start at RF1 if you want the full experience of the whole franchise. Start at RF2 if you can't find the software to play RF1. Start at RF3 for any other reason other than the ones mentioned here (RF3 is the easiest, the fastest to finish, and has, imo, the best set of characters. But it's also the most hack-n-slash.) Start at RF4 if you only have 3DS, or if you never play the old Harvest Moon with its old design before, or if you want to enjoy the farming aspect to the fullest. Don't start with wii. They are both tedious.
I’d say that if you want a game more focused on combat and micromanagement, Tides of Destiny can actually be pretty fun. Plus, I’d say it has the flashiest/most fun combat. (For me, at least.)
Both wii games made me a RF Fan, Violet and Rosetta are best grills of each game, their presentation is GORGEUS (i actually was kinda disapointed with RF4 aesthetic as i know the 3DS is capable of so much more, im not asking for Kid Icarus or Smash bros level of detail but, at least fully 3D environments would have helped.
Abraham Benedict Wii's the best game in the series, what are you talking about? Only the PS3 game is kinda meh (mechanic-wise and art design) and even then there's still some fun to be had.
,,, I didn't say bad. I said "tedious". It means monotonous, tiresome. The cast are still great, the plot is still great, and in the end it's still a Rune Factory game, as what you expect out of it, is what you can get from it. But if you have played since the very first Rune Factory, you can easily tell how tiresome can it get. Even the big design flaw in RF1 is nothing compared to, say: taking care of runeys from RF:Frontier. Well, ofc we are experienced players, so going around it is easy, but my comment was made for people who want to get into the franchise. You won't really tell noobs who are barely attached into the series to go take care of runeys, no? Also the PS3 version of Rune Factory Tides of Destiny has mostly the same mechanic as its Wii version apart from the extra support for Playstation Move motion controller. Although that doesn't really do much for the game itself. ps.: Actually, one of the main reason for Neverland's bankruptcy was bcs RF:Oceans didn't meet expected profit on time.
I'm a fan of Harvest moon, and never played Rune Factory before but right now I'm doing the first Rune Factory and even if the game mechanic is really weird... I am really enjoying it!
I really hope that they are able to remake at least one of the entries for the switch ive played all of them but I have a soft spot for 4 everybody should play this series!
i love RF TOD, i already finished that game 3 times and now i want play again hehe that game its soo simple in farming and make me have a time to explore
I grew up on pokemon and mmorpg games like runescape or flyff or wow. I tried harvest moon on psp but didn't really care for it but that was maybe 10 years ago. I now can't stop playing these farming games, rune factory is close to my ideal game now same with stardew valley, but I also love story of seasons. I can't get enough of them and want more. Let's hope they keep progressing and making the games better
Idk about the first two entries on the DS, but I have heard great things about RF 3, even to the point of some people preferring 3 to 4. I rly need to start playing 3 and 4 soon, but there’s so many good things to play lately. I cannot wait for RF to come to the Switch!
I'm lucky enough to have all the RF games. Personally think RF4 is a good game for first timers as it gives detail on how to farm, interact with villagers, and venture into the dungeons. There's an area in the RF4 village which mentions the other RF games as an Easter Egg as well. All games are awesome in their own right, RF2 (2nd generation) and RF4 are the only games in the series where you can pick your gender. In RF: Oceans (Wii/PS3), you can pick your gender AFTER completing the Story. Sorry, I've said too much. I just love these games and hope Marvelous picks it up to make an 5th one.
In RF2 during 1st generation, after you marry the girl of your choice, your wife will ask you a question when she becomes pregnant (boy, girl, random). There are suitors for either gender during the 2nd generation, its pretend wedding so you can marry any and/or everyone. Anyone could correct me if I'm wrong, as it has been a while since I've played it. =)
if I'd have to pick....I think I'd go for RF2. It starts off as a regular Harvest Moon so you can learn how to farm, have people fall in love with you, and complete quests. Its relaxing until you decide you want to continue with the story in 2nd generation.
Yeah, i know the game is realistic that way, but sometimes there can be days with nothing happening (specially noticeable when you finish second arc) and make the game sometimes feel tiring, something that never happened with RF Frontier or ToD. Aside from that, my only other problem is that it doesnt have a fully 3D environment, and looks like the RF on the original DS. Im not asking for gorgeus graphics but at least fully 3D would be nice since i am damn sure the 3DS could have handled that.
Yeah i know, i would be okay if minor events were random (pajama party, and mundane stuff like that) and major events (such as bachelors or bachelorettes marriage events, or even story events) would need trigger, and i mean, an obvious trigger, because i just asked venti how she felt because i tried to be nice, and bam, second arc started. i didnt have enough rest between arcs, but finished the second because the story was actually pretty good. And Dolce made me happy with her pokemon reference. I heard somewhere a long time ago, that the intention of the story was not to be the main focus, but another fun activity, that the player had the choice to do or not. I ve only seen frontier apply this, as you have to actively try to advance the story, but tides of destiny and 4 actually force you to play the story. I dont hate the story, but i want to have an obvious choice to start or not certain important events.
If I had to pick a favorite rune factory it would have to be rune factory 3 one of my all time favorites. Rune factory 4 is really good too but 3 is my favorite.
Trio of Towns just got Rune Factory 4 cosplay costume DLC a while back so the series is definitely not dead and that DLC gives a real light of hope to a new Rune Factory in the future! You can dress as Lest or Frey now in Trio of Towns!
I'm going to start by saying my story and how this video help me. I have never been really big on simulator style games, Sims, Animal Crossing and simcity or literally almost any type of game on mobile. Those types of games always bored me, my sister was way more into stuff like that oh, because I was the type of kid or gamer who would play a game for a couple like 2 to 3 hours a day, I was more on my video games cuz of the state I live in and weather can never be fun here. I always like to play games that you generally take me around 8 to 12 hours a day. And typically those took the games they were like put the stuff here in here than way about fucking three days to have the things be done, I have patience sure but I don't have patience for something to be done in the video game or spend money on it to get faster. I was also typically more into RPGs and Shooters and fighting games. Something I can be in thrall with when it comes to Shooters gameplay, RPG stories or the technically of a fighting game. Eventually I want to try these simulation type games one more time, but I wanted to find one that I would try to stick with for a long time, that's where I found this video and I was interested to try a Rune Factory game. After watching some of the gameplay and some of the core things, I'm kind of like oh this is kind of like if a simulation game met some of my more favorite RPG like Persona or something like that. Then I had a birthday that passed not too long ago I had a nice $100 gift card to spend on the eShop and I saw that Rune Factory 4 special was there for fifty bucks and I looked at my gift card and back at my TV and said screw. This was a purchase I did not regret, and thank you for showing me the light.
Much love for this series! I still play it these days [ Rune Factory 3 ] [ Couldn't get my hands on Rune Factory 4 ;-; I'd like to but my 3DS is out of whack ;-; ]
For all the faults of these games, they're honestly incredibly good. RF 3 and RF 4 are especially good, and when the mood strikes me to play one of them, it quickly takes over my life for a brief time.
Some say that Marvelous knows we want another RF, i hope to see at least a little teaser in the upcoming E3. Slim chances, but still possible. CROSS FINGERS!
I've been playing Rune Factory for 6 years. Started off with RF2, then RF3, and now I'm still having so much fun with RF4. I don't have the rest yet. TT^TT
Im not counting it out completely, Marvelous and XSEED both want the series to continue. Just recently Marvelous released a Rune Factory 3+4 bundle for the 3DS in Japan, so they probably have some plans for it.
I've only played 3 and 4. It would be nice if they would bring the Wii ones to the switch so I can play those. I don't feel like buying a Wii to play them.
I own Tides of Destiny, and personally in my opinion, it's not worth getting a wii for anyway. The game has almost an hour long tutorial, and the farming system is unique, but pretty terrible. I also never really got invested in the story either. Can't speak much for Frontier, though. But at least Frontier has 2d talking sprites unlike Tide's weird 3d ones.
I played Frontier for the wii which was my first RF game. I loved it. It had some great,interesting characters and their events (even the villagers) were fun. the only thing that annoyed me was the runey system, but it didnt stop me from beating the game or anything
i remember that the fact that i've played RF since 2 totally ruined stardew valley for me when it came out everyone talked about how it was a great farming simulator with a combat adition but having played RF 2 and 3 at the time made the experience feel really mediocre i love the series and i hope we eventually get a 5th one
Now I definitely have to give this game a go. When I bought my Nintendo DS Lite in 2008 my mom let me choose 1 game and it was down to Pokemon Diamond or Rune Factory. 11 year old me had a blast but had some small regret as I walked away from the Toys R Us about not getting Rune Factory instead
Rune Factory Frontier is a sequel to the original and Rune Factory 4, though not containing spoilers, gives nods to the previous entries in that when you look through the binoculars, you "see" landmarks from the previous games. Also, I'd start with the original Rune Factory because after the first two entries, they seemed to get better with the game play and it would be more difficult to play the first two after the fact.
Personally, I would say people should start with Rune Factory 1 so they don't get spoiled on all the improvements RF3 and 4 made, because it makes RF1 and 2 incredibly hard to play after that. But I might be a tad bias since I started with RF1 lol
Agreed. I started with RF2 and loved it. Played RF3 next. Then I went back to RF1. I just couldn't play it... I kind of feel bad that I'm unable to appreciate it for what it is.
Really looking forward to RF5. RF4 is one of my GOAT games. I really love the crafting in 4 because you can make some truly game breaking gangsta shit with the right combo of mats. Not to mention great characters and stories and multiple endings. I've got high expectations for RF5. I hope they don't F it up.
To be super honest, I can't play any harvest moon/story of seasons because Rune Factory ruined it for me. The fast paced farming mechanics is so good and smooth that I honestly cannot touch the other two without cringing at the painfully slow actions. Like, picking up something takes forever, whereas you can stack 9 items quickly before putting them in your inventory. If the new story of seasons could input that in their game, it would definitely be loads better.
this is one of my favorite game series of all time. so sad it hasn't returned. i'm hoping for a new entry of either this or story of seasons this year at E3
i feel the same. if they did, it'd be my most anticipated game of the year. right now i'm looking forward to a game called "My time at portia" because it's the closest thing i can think of to a new rune factory
I saw my time at Portia, looks cool enough, my only problem is the art style, i don't see waifu material there (I know is just a small thing, but if cute anime characters fit in a game series, it would be RF)
In all frankness, nuisance though it may have been, the Runey system barely affected my gameplay. The whimsicality of the game with its adorable characters, and pleasant locations constantly made me want to keep playing the game more and more.
Love this series. I have played RF4 so much. I loved RF3 as well. Haven’t really gotten into RF2 though I’ll get there one day. It’s much more boring and things aren’t explained as well. The characters are still as great as usual though.
Sorry, did I hear that right? "Three years in-game of dialogue before repeats start happening with random villagers?" Sounds like my kind of game.
I was shocked at how much mileage I got out of the dialogue tree.
Mmm I feel like Hashimoto has brought that aspect of Rune Factory into Bokujo lately, at least with Trio of Towns. Granted it's not as deep but I feel like it goes pretty far.
LeadYoke that's why it was the best. 🎵Where'd u gooo,I miss u soooo,feels like it's been forever since you've been gone,please come back home🎵 On the new hybrid home console. *crosses fingers*
LeadYoke only downside you'll find in 4 that I still love is that damn near all of the social events (including marriage related stuff) are random and makes it feel as live and at the same time so much stuff to do if you don't focus souley in them.
Same ... i can't play Stardew Valley tho it's just not enough :\
>a marvelous series
>xseed my expectations
Don't think your slick pat
Of all people why did I know it would be you to catch onto that.
I was literally about to comment this

Awesome video. I've been a rune factory fan for a while. This series is criminally underrated
The "Rune Factory" series is easily one of the most underrated of many video game series out there and it is a hidden gem that many people have gotten hooked on once they get started on their first "Rune Factory" title! It is a farming simulator, dungeon crawler, and dating sim all in one with town events such as festivals all the way to status building thrown in so you never run out of things to do in your gameplay. I'm guilty of telling myself late at night, "Just one more in-game day and then I'll turn off my game!" It is that good of a video game series! The music is wonderful, the events are often relatable to many of our own personal conflicts, and the characters are lovable or at least most of them are. Not to mention the Anime character art style makes the "Rune Factory" series an attractive one. They have 3 games on Nintendo DS, 2 on the Wii (1 of them is also for Sony PS3), and 1 of those is for Nintendo 3DS so there's technically 6 "Rune Factory" games in the series with many loyal fans begging for yet another "Rune Factory" game despite the fall of Neverland gaming company who was responsible for the "Rune Factory" video games. Keeping my fingers crossed that Marvelous Entertainment or X-Seed picks up and continues the project!
I love RF4 and think it is the best 3DS game!! I am sharing with others who have yet to play it! Thanks!!
4 is my most played 3ds game. Still grinding to get level 10 friendship with everyone to unlock the new game+ish mode. Vishnal is the best husband. I dont care if he cant cook, he is adorable!
he could cook tho, i've ever get one from him
He can cook onigiri once every three~five days and curry rice four times a month or so 😙 and the rest are just failed or disastrous dishes💕💕
I discovered this series years ago and it was absolutely amazing and I have all the titles. I love rune factory 4 and 3 the most. The characters and their different traits are very unique and its become one of my favorite j-rpg games.
truee i really love leon XD
unpopular opinion, 1 is my favorite despite how smooth and fluid 3 & 4 were
I played and love Rune Factory 4. The farming felt actually rewarding and the characters were charming. I dropped it at some point at the ending when I found a game breaking glitch but I picked it back up after finding out a way to circumvent it. It was certainly more enjoyable than Harvest Moon or Animal Crossing to my taste.
Thanks for the great video! I am also here after the latest Direct. I’m starting up Rune Factory 4 now even though it’s getting a re-release on Switch. I can’t wait to discover this series. Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll be able to import our 3DS save to the Switch.
I absolutely love the Rune Factory series! 4 has got to be one of my most favorite games.
Going from 4 to 1 is difficult though. I tried to replay Rune Factory 1 recently, and I totally forgot the tool shortcut menu doesn't pause the game. I ran into battle, needed a potion and was like "Oh god why is he still attacking me???"
xD
I got Rune Factory 4 on the eshop sales recently~looks like such a fun series~can't wait to hop in~ ^u^
You're in for an amazing time!
I hope you enjoy it. Im a huge fan since their first game in DS. If you watch gammalad i assume you like harvest moon. If you like harvest moon and like a bit of rpg then you'll find this game amazing.
One of my favorite games of all time.
I love the HM series(now Story of Season) but Rune Factory is my favorite game of ALL TIME.
I love Harvest Moon~i haven't played it since the gamecube one~super excited to get back into it~rpgs are one of my favourite genres too so it's a perfect combo~ ^w^
I have 800 hours put into runefactory 4, my all time favorite game, no matter how many times I play it over it's filled with so much emotion and character I can never get bored of it.
Why can't I accept Porcoline's confessions of love.
Edit: Also thanks for creating a great video for this series. Saw the announcement at the direct and most people watching looked like they wouldn't even give it a simple look. Seeing people in the comment who never knew the series now finding interest in the series makes me happy.
I remember I first started playing RF4 and didn't really get far before putting it down. Then I really got into it and I stand by it as one of my favourite games. Everything from the combat, the lvl system, the characters/ relationships, the farming, and crafting is a pure joy. ♡
i have to say being a fan of this series since rune factory frontier (i have played them all) this video makes me really happy
I had never played a story of seasons game before but i decided to give rune factory 4 a try a year or so ago and loved every second of it! I hope the video makes more people try it out.
I am playing rune factory 4 special for the first time and its hilarious. I can't believe I never knew this existed....
Good, coz I just bought Rune Factory 4 earlier. I'm now excited, thanks!
Dude rune factory is the most underrated game. Along with their other games. But rune factory is the best series of games that I've played. Thank you for making this.
Just hoping I can get more people to play it :)
I saw Rune Factory 4 browsing through E Shop late at night and bought a physical copy the next day. I fell in love with the series. I loved the story and the characters, and I loved the references to earlier games that the second arc had. I bought and completed Rune Factory 3 (which had one of my favorite final bosses, especially with how you win in the end), and I still don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do to advance the plot in Rune Factory Frontier (I'm in like, my fifth year or something and I'm still on discovering Whale Island 😂). I love this franchise and I desperately want the next entry to be announced one day. I even got my best friend into Rune Factory 4 a few years ago. I think 3 and 4 have some of if not my favorite final boss fights of all time. I love Rune Factory for the lovable characters and investing stories.
I'm literally the only person that plays this. Thank you for this. We need 5 so bad
I'll check it out. Thanks for giving me a new series to check out.
"Start on Rune Factory 4" I actually thought rune factory 4 was the first game and it wasn't a series. Once I found out it was the FOURTH GAME IN THE SERIES. I almost freaked out. But of course I bought all of the other games XD.
I'm a little sad you didn't mention the marriage factor.... I've completely finished Rune Factory 4 and I am now working on the other ones~
AND THIS AMAZING COMMENT SECTION MADE ME SO HAPPY!!! I actually think that everyone should at least try this game out... it's got so many different factors to it. So wide and vast full of game play and data. And now I'm rambling...
Thanks for making this videoooo!!
And ps.... There was a rumor to be a 5th game going to be created...
THEY CONFIRMED RUNE FACTORY 5! I've been waiting for 3 years for this game!
Story of Seasons is a niche game.
Rune Factory must be super niche.
So I guess Rune Factory is a great game to out--hipster a hipster.
Hmmm honestly I don't know if I would call Bokujo niche, but yeah Rune Factory would be a niche of a niche lol
So we are the ultimate hipsters?
I distinctly remember being about 11-12 years old and I got some Christmas money (which I never got before) so we went to a large toy store. I was trying to pick the perfect thing to buy, and I really couldn't find anything. While my younger sister was buying her toy, there was a display by the cashier which was Rune Factory (the first of the DS line). I grew up with Harvest Moon, so when I saw 'A Fantasy Harvest Moon' under the title, I was game. One of the best purchase decisions I ever made!
OMG SAME
SAME! BEST PURCHASES FOR A GAME EVER!
Thanks a tonne! I played rune factory when i was younger and couldn’t remember the name till i found it today. Nice to see the franchise has done well. I’m looking forward to the release of 5 so i can get back into it.
When I Just got a 3ds I was at game stop looking for a good game to play. I saw Zelda link between worlds but then I saw rune factory 4 on the next shelf. The art on the box is what got me intrigued and looked so damn pretty so I got it! Best decision in my life haha sorry link.
This is the perfect video i always wanted to see about my favorite series! I think Rune Factory 3 had the best story and characters, but Rune Factory 4 definitely has the most content, best upgrade system and longest story line
Grimoire Hunter Yea 3 was supppper good but you can beat it way to fast if you know what you're doing. The inly gripe I (and everyone else for that matter) have with 4 is marriage random events. I had cheesed the ever loving shit out of the sharance branch dungeon before it triggered
usa1ph Yes I really disliked the event system in 4, 3's felt a lot more personal and not depending on luck. 3 was definitely easy to beat, could beat it in 1 day, but it also meant you could try out every marriage option
Cool! Hadn't heard of this series before but came to have a look after the announcement of the Switch port of the 4th game along with a new 5th one. I'll certainly be trying them out when they release. Thanks for the info, my man!
I flipping love this series so much! I remember when I was like 9 years old and received a DSi for doing so well in school.A few months later my parents let me start picking out games for myself. Rune Factory 2 was one of the first games I ever picked for myself and I enjoyed every second of it. I would play it every single day after school and had homework done.
Point is this is an amazing Series that deserves all the love it gets and I am glad to have received the chance to grow up with it!
I own and have played every Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons and Rune Factory game. Harvest Moon was my favorite series of games until Rune Factory came out. Rune Factory 4 is my all time favorite game ever. It is the only game I can play from beginning to end, over and over, and not get tired of it. You can imagine my utter heartbreak when I found out that there weren't going to be any more Rune Factory games...if I were a millionaire, I would find the team responsible in making this game and pay them to continue their work.
I heavily agree with this comment.
Rune Factory 2 was actually my first RF game! I went from that straight to RF4 and only just now started playing the very first of the series. Not a surprise that I started with the two games Barrett was in. A great video as always! Why am I not subscribed to you? I gotta fix that.
I played Rune Factory 1 2 3 4 and Tides of Destiny on PS3. I adore this charming series and wouldn't mind you talking in depth about them all more
I picked up Rune Factory 4 on a whim after seeing it for sale in a second-hand game store, since I knew of the series due to being a long-time player of Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon.
It's safe to say that I fell in love with it. The faster pacing and more RPG-like elements of RF4 are seriously helping me get back into a style of game that that's starting to wear on me. I tend to fall into a routine when playing a main-line Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons game, but RF4 has really captured that sense of 'oh yeah, you can totally spend an entire week dedicated to grinding various skills' for me.
Speaking of which, does anybody know if you start losing friendship with people after not talking to them for a certain amount of time in RF4? I remember that being really tedious in ANB.
Here from the direct, i think i found my new favorite series.
Have a great time!! Rune Factory is absolutely my favorite game series, and I'm so thrilled to see interest bringing new fans into the community tangential to the direct. The developers are extremely passionate about this series and the quality of their content that has massively escalated over six games certainly reflects that--RF4 was like their swan song before the main development team was met with trying times, but they still found a way to protect the title. To see that passion alight again to revive the series after over 6 years shows how much they care for their work and appreciate their patient and devoted fanbase, all for good reasons. Regardless of which entry you start with, I sincerely hope you enjoy Rune Factory!
I’m so glad this series is getting so much love still after so long. ^_^
I love this series and can never get enough of it.
WOOO ive played all of the rune factory games.
Rune Factory is one of my favorite game series. Stardew kind of scratched the itch while waiting for the next entry, if it'll come, but it's no Rune Factory.
exactly, i mean stardew valley is great and very fun. but goddamn i love me some japanese waifus and i need the funny japanese anime quirks they have with the series
Can't wait to play RF3S on Switch and then RF5. I don't like any bachelor or bachelorette of RF5 though
It's honestly hard for me to describe how happy I felt when I saw rune factory 5 get announced.
i love rune factory so much. i randomly found rf2 in a gamestop and decided to get it. after that i was in love. bought every game and even got a 3ds just for rf4. i haven’t found a game that i loves more than rune factory. it has everything i love in it. i have always wished there was a way that it would get even more popular. i want more games, and i want more people to talk to about it. it’s such a good game and deserves more popularity. 💗
you made me play RF frontier.
and recently i just finished it.
why did I miss something great like Rune Factory
#Thanks
I am glad you enjoyed the series :)
I’ve played all the games, just waiting verrry patiently for Rune Factory 5!
Rune factory is my favorite serie, thanks for the video
Why you should play Rune Factory?
Me: Because it took me five days irl, just to fished up the f*cking rock fish from the sand to tame a boss!
Thank you so much for making a video on this amazing series. It needs to get out of the shadows and gain a following, and people like you are helping to get it out there.
The first time I ever got a rune factory game it was Rune Factory 2. My parents got it for me as a joke xmas present because when I was a kid I used to say I wanted to be a farmer. And holy shit did that change my gaming life. Rune Factory is my favorite game series! Rune Factory 2 was sooooo good that I wound up buying all the other Rune Factory game (and Looked forward to everyone that came out after 2).
I actually recommend playing them in chronological order. Not for storyline reasons but for the simple fact that (As far as the handheld games are concerned) The game ages well. Starting from 4 is nice too since I feel that the slow farming in 1 and 2 (plus the graphics) CAN BE somewhat off-putting. But once you interact with the town all of that vanishes. Frankly I didn't know Harvest Moon was a game before discovering Rune Factory. But goly it makes me think Rune Factory should have been the beginning (Though the game was created to be it's own standalone)
OMG just now I completed the first one and now I'm going to play the second one, I'm so hyped!!!
Rune Factory 4 was the first entry I've played of this series and while I still haven't finished the very last arc of the game I did basically complete the story lines XD I hope they come out with another Rune Factory game but I may have to look into some of the other entries... shame I don't have the Wii and PS3 but I can at least get used copies of the DS games ;)
A friend of mine recommended me this game, i was skeptical at first because although i love harvest moon and many rpg games i had never heard of this series and was expecting to be dissapointed. One day i went to my local pawn shop where they sell literally a bit of everything and BAM, rune factory 4 was there, got it i think for 20 bucks and i was like maaan is it worth it? Well, to this day it is my favorite game ever on the 3ds, its so full of content, characters, items, quests, the main story line is awesome everything is awesome. Its just sucha good game i cant even fully describe how good it is.
Playing rune factory 4 right now level 143 and dating Margaret ♥️ I wanna draw for rune factory someday since I'm taking arts
Rune Factory fan art is awesome I hope you do make some!
as someone who plays RF 4, I really reccomended this game because it's so relaxing
watched this video then i played this game man this is the best life simulator game i have ever played thank you so much for recommending it
Hmm if I am to recommend where to start:
Start at RF1 if you want the full experience of the whole franchise.
Start at RF2 if you can't find the software to play RF1.
Start at RF3 for any other reason other than the ones mentioned here (RF3 is the easiest, the fastest to finish, and has, imo, the best set of characters. But it's also the most hack-n-slash.)
Start at RF4 if you only have 3DS, or if you never play the old Harvest Moon with its old design before, or if you want to enjoy the farming aspect to the fullest.
Don't start with wii. They are both tedious.
JFC the wii one I'm still haunted by those floating fairies, send help
I’d say that if you want a game more focused on combat and micromanagement, Tides of Destiny can actually be pretty fun. Plus, I’d say it has the flashiest/most fun combat. (For me, at least.)
Both wii games made me a RF Fan, Violet and Rosetta are best grills of each game, their presentation is GORGEUS (i actually was kinda disapointed with RF4 aesthetic as i know the 3DS is capable of so much more, im not asking for Kid Icarus or Smash bros level of detail but, at least fully 3D environments would have helped.

Wii's the best game in the series, what are you talking about? Only the PS3 game is kinda meh (mechanic-wise and art design) and even then there's still some fun to be had.
,,, I didn't say bad. I said "tedious". It means monotonous, tiresome. The cast are still great, the plot is still great, and in the end it's still a Rune Factory game, as what you expect out of it, is what you can get from it.
But if you have played since the very first Rune Factory, you can easily tell how tiresome can it get. Even the big design flaw in RF1 is nothing compared to, say: taking care of runeys from RF:Frontier.
Well, ofc we are experienced players, so going around it is easy,
but my comment was made for people who want to get into the franchise. You won't really tell noobs who are barely attached into the series to go take care of runeys, no?
Also the PS3 version of Rune Factory Tides of Destiny has mostly the same mechanic as its Wii version apart from the extra support for Playstation Move motion controller.
Although that doesn't really do much for the game itself.
ps.: Actually, one of the main reason for Neverland's bankruptcy was bcs RF:Oceans didn't meet expected profit on time.
yesss this series is my all time fav and not enough people talk about it!! RF3 is my personal fav!
I'm a fan of Harvest moon, and never played Rune Factory before but right now I'm doing the first Rune Factory and even if the game mechanic is really weird... I am really enjoying it!
I 💙RUNE FACTORY4!!!!😄
SAME!!! I CANT WAIT FOR RUNE FACTORY 4 REMAKE AND RUNE FACTORY 5! ITS COMING OUT.
I really hope that they are able to remake at least one of the entries for the switch ive played all of them but I have a soft spot for 4 everybody should play this series!
i love RF TOD, i already finished that game 3 times and now i want play again hehe that game its soo simple in farming and make me have a time to explore
Now I need to try this. I've gotten obsessed with Stardew Valley so now I wanna play more games like it. Definitely gonna pick this up
I grew up on pokemon and mmorpg games like runescape or flyff or wow. I tried harvest moon on psp but didn't really care for it but that was maybe 10 years ago. I now can't stop playing these farming games, rune factory is close to my ideal game now same with stardew valley, but I also love story of seasons. I can't get enough of them and want more. Let's hope they keep progressing and making the games better
Idk about the first two entries on the DS, but I have heard great things about RF 3, even to the point of some people preferring 3 to 4. I rly need to start playing 3 and 4 soon, but there’s so many good things to play lately. I cannot wait for RF to come to the Switch!
cross fingers!
I bought Rune Factory 4 on a whim knowing nothing about the series and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
I'm lucky enough to have all the RF games. Personally think RF4 is a good game for first timers as it gives detail on how to farm, interact with villagers, and venture into the dungeons. There's an area in the RF4 village which mentions the other RF games as an Easter Egg as well. All games are awesome in their own right, RF2 (2nd generation) and RF4 are the only games in the series where you can pick your gender. In RF: Oceans (Wii/PS3), you can pick your gender AFTER completing the Story. Sorry, I've said too much. I just love these games and hope Marvelous picks it up to make an 5th one.
In RF2 during 1st generation, after you marry the girl of your choice, your wife will ask you a question when she becomes pregnant (boy, girl, random). There are suitors for either gender during the 2nd generation, its pretend wedding so you can marry any and/or everyone. Anyone could correct me if I'm wrong, as it has been a while since I've played it. =)
if I'd have to pick....I think I'd go for RF2. It starts off as a regular Harvest Moon so you can learn how to farm, have people fall in love with you, and complete quests. Its relaxing until you decide you want to continue with the story in 2nd generation.
New Rune Factory! Rune Factory 4 special on Switch and Rune Factory 5!
Rune factory 4 is good but my only problem with it is the random events other than that the game is good
Yeah, i know the game is realistic that way, but sometimes there can be days with nothing happening (specially noticeable when you finish second arc) and make the game sometimes feel tiring, something that never happened with RF Frontier or ToD.
Aside from that, my only other problem is that it doesnt have a fully 3D environment, and looks like the RF on the original DS. Im not asking for gorgeus graphics but at least fully 3D would be nice since i am damn sure the 3DS could have handled that.
that's only truly a problem if you focus on getting events. I'll admit though, trying to marry Xiao Pai Is just the worst thing to be random!
Yeah i know, i would be okay if minor events were random (pajama party, and mundane stuff like that) and major events (such as bachelors or bachelorettes marriage events, or even story events) would need trigger, and i mean, an obvious trigger, because i just asked venti how she felt because i tried to be nice, and bam, second arc started. i didnt have enough rest between arcs, but finished the second because the story was actually pretty good. And Dolce made me happy with her pokemon reference.
I heard somewhere a long time ago, that the intention of the story was not to be the main focus, but another fun activity, that the player had the choice to do or not. I ve only seen frontier apply this, as you have to actively try to advance the story, but tides of destiny and 4 actually force you to play the story.
I dont hate the story, but i want to have an obvious choice to start or not certain important events.
If I had to pick a favorite rune factory it would have to be rune factory 3 one of my all time favorites. Rune factory 4 is really good too but 3 is my favorite.
i just love the Rune Factory series especially RF4 it had so much content you can play it for months without being bored
Trio of Towns just got Rune Factory 4 cosplay costume DLC a while back so the series is definitely not dead and that DLC gives a real light of hope to a new Rune Factory in the future! You can dress as Lest or Frey now in Trio of Towns!
I'm going to start by saying my story and how this video help me. I have never been really big on simulator style games, Sims, Animal Crossing and simcity or literally almost any type of game on mobile.
Those types of games always bored me, my sister was way more into stuff like that oh, because I was the type of kid or gamer who would play a game for a couple like 2 to 3 hours a day, I was more on my video games cuz of the state I live in and weather can never be fun here. I always like to play games that you generally take me around 8 to 12 hours a day. And typically those took the games they were like put the stuff here in here than way about fucking three days to have the things be done, I have patience sure but I don't have patience for something to be done in the video game or spend money on it to get faster.
I was also typically more into RPGs and Shooters and fighting games. Something I can be in thrall with when it comes to Shooters gameplay, RPG stories or the technically of a fighting game.
Eventually I want to try these simulation type games one more time, but I wanted to find one that I would try to stick with for a long time, that's where I found this video and I was interested to try a Rune Factory game. After watching some of the gameplay and some of the core things, I'm kind of like oh this is kind of like if a simulation game met some of my more favorite RPG like Persona or something like that.
Then I had a birthday that passed not too long ago I had a nice $100 gift card to spend on the eShop and I saw that Rune Factory 4 special was there for fifty bucks and I looked at my gift card and back at my TV and said screw.
This was a purchase I did not regret, and thank you for showing me the light.
Much love for this series! I still play it these days [ Rune Factory 3 ] [ Couldn't get my hands on Rune Factory 4 ;-; I'd like to but my 3DS is out of whack ;-; ]
i fucking love rune factory 3 since i was a kid id choose that game over most games these days
I've had 4 for over one year and somehow still playing it, even though I usually move on to a different game after a month or two.
For all the faults of these games, they're honestly incredibly good. RF 3 and RF 4 are especially good, and when the mood strikes me to play one of them, it quickly takes over my life for a brief time.
Seriously though I'm thinking of replaying a bunch of the games still sad a new ones still not coming.....
Some say that Marvelous knows we want another RF, i hope to see at least a little teaser in the upcoming E3.
Slim chances, but still possible.
CROSS FINGERS!
me too omg either the 3ds or switch it is no matter to me I just want more rune factory!
you've probably heard but ive got some great news for you buddy, RF5 was just announced!
Using the Padova Mountains theme for the ending of this video was genius
Great review, Pat. Loved the puns at the beginning. Trying to convince my husband to play RF4. Might show him this review to convince him. :)
Your voice reminds me of Lupin III, I have no idea why, but I like it XD
I've been playing Rune Factory for 6 years. Started off with RF2, then RF3, and now I'm still having so much fun with RF4. I don't have the rest yet. TT^TT
about to play this game right now, JUST right after I watch your video.
Because it is the best series there is.
Its really sad that there won't be any more games of this series.
Im not counting it out completely, Marvelous and XSEED both want the series to continue. Just recently Marvelous released a Rune Factory 3+4 bundle for the 3DS in Japan, so they probably have some plans for it.
I just got into the series a few hours ago with ‘ Rune Factory 4 ‘
I've only played 3 and 4. It would be nice if they would bring the Wii ones to the switch so I can play those. I don't feel like buying a Wii to play them.
I own Tides of Destiny, and personally in my opinion, it's not worth getting a wii for anyway. The game has almost an hour long tutorial, and the farming system is unique, but pretty terrible. I also never really got invested in the story either. Can't speak much for Frontier, though. But at least Frontier has 2d talking sprites unlike Tide's weird 3d ones.
I played Frontier for the wii which was my first RF game. I loved it. It had some great,interesting characters and their events (even the villagers) were fun. the only thing that annoyed me was the runey system, but it didnt stop me from beating the game or anything
Rune Factory tides of Destiny is also on the ps3
I never finished the console versions but three and four are top notch
i remember that the fact that i've played RF since 2 totally ruined stardew valley for me when it came out
everyone talked about how it was a great farming simulator with a combat adition but having played RF 2 and 3 at the time made the experience feel really mediocre
i love the series and i hope we eventually get a 5th one
Uh oh I'm about 40 hours into stardew and I love it. Getting rune factory 5 right now. Hope it doesnt ruin stardew for me
Anyone who hasn't played any rune factory games.... Get to it
Love the Rune Factory series
Now I definitely have to give this game a go. When I bought my Nintendo DS Lite in 2008 my mom let me choose 1 game and it was down to Pokemon Diamond or Rune Factory. 11 year old me had a blast but had some small regret as I walked away from the Toys R Us about not getting Rune Factory instead
Just got 7th Dragon. Now I need another RF game.
Hope you enjoy 7th Dragon!
Joanne L just got it on sale at the eshop myself.
I hope it makes a comeback on the switch
Rune Factory 4 Switch + Rune Factory 5 in development!! I can't wait!
Rune Factory Frontier is a sequel to the original and Rune Factory 4, though not containing spoilers, gives nods to the previous entries in that when you look through the binoculars, you "see" landmarks from the previous games. Also, I'd start with the original Rune Factory because after the first two entries, they seemed to get better with the game play and it would be more difficult to play the first two after the fact.
Personally, I would say people should start with Rune Factory 1 so they don't get spoiled on all the improvements RF3 and 4 made, because it makes RF1 and 2 incredibly hard to play after that. But I might be a tad bias since I started with RF1 lol
Agreed. I started with RF2 and loved it. Played RF3 next. Then I went back to RF1. I just couldn't play it... I kind of feel bad that I'm unable to appreciate it for what it is.
Really looking forward to RF5. RF4 is one of my GOAT games. I really love the crafting in 4 because you can make some truly game breaking gangsta shit with the right combo of mats. Not to mention great characters and stories and multiple endings. I've got high expectations for RF5. I hope they don't F it up.
I reeeeaaaaalllly love RF games especially the RF3
I wish they could release RF5 soon
To be super honest, I can't play any harvest moon/story of seasons because Rune Factory ruined it for me. The fast paced farming mechanics is so good and smooth that I honestly cannot touch the other two without cringing at the painfully slow actions. Like, picking up something takes forever, whereas you can stack 9 items quickly before putting them in your inventory. If the new story of seasons could input that in their game, it would definitely be loads better.
Same and the characters in harvest moon and story of seasons are less in depth than Rune Factory. I got bored of it really quick.
I love Rune Factory too much
this is one of my favorite game series of all time. so sad it hasn't returned. i'm hoping for a new entry of either this or story of seasons this year at E3
XSEED only announces localizations at E3, so we'd have to wait for TGS for Marvelous to show off the next game.
oh okay. thanks
Cross fingers, marvelous knows we want another RF, i only ask for a small teaser, a logo would be enought, to hope for a RF 5, or RF: subtitle.
i feel the same. if they did, it'd be my most anticipated game of the year. right now i'm looking forward to a game called "My time at portia" because it's the closest thing i can think of to a new rune factory
I saw my time at Portia, looks cool enough, my only problem is the art style, i don't see waifu material there (I know is just a small thing, but if cute anime characters fit in a game series, it would be RF)
I highly recommend Rune Factory Frontier to EVERYONE!
yoroshiku without warning them about the runey system? That’s a little cold hearted
In all frankness, nuisance though it may have been, the Runey system barely affected my gameplay. The whimsicality of the game with its adorable characters, and pleasant locations constantly made me want to keep playing the game more and more.
Love this series. I have played RF4 so much. I loved RF3 as well. Haven’t really gotten into RF2 though I’ll get there one day. It’s much more boring and things aren’t explained as well. The characters are still as great as usual though.
Rune Factory is my favourite game series
