Pubert is the very image of professionalism... or maybe not? I mean, he's opening his personal store in his swimwear...

The Buddy Battle gets kind of wrecked when you show up with a team of boss monsters; even the last match is pretty much a non-issue when they spend the entire fight asleep. As to where Lin Fa gets her monsters... well, some questions are probably better left unanswered.

And the "dramatic reveal" of Doug's spy-ness. Meh. He wasn't a very good spy, as mentioned by Thorn.

...Not much to say about this one, to be honest.

Hi. Your head's on fire.
Updates will resume next week, but I'm taking a different direction with the LPs for the next several weeks. Instead of each LP getting a new part over the course of the week, I'm going to upload a part of the same LP on Tuesday and Friday, starting with RF4 this Tuesday. The reasons are because we're pretty worn out after recording three videos, but we've also run out the Breath of the Wild backlog, so we need to keep up with that as well since it's a far more popular LP. We're also near the ends of Story of Seasons and Animal Parade's LPs, only 5-7 parts for either. Working on each of these LPs in chunks is better for us. It'll be one less video per week for this thread, but it's not going anywhere. Another couple months and it'll just be down to RF4, and then Stardew Valley will begin sometime after.

First of this week's two RF4 updates also happens to be the first half of our next dungeon, the yet-another-cave-with-not-a-lot-in-it Idra Cave.

Maybe those soldiers think the place is bad because of allergies?

I'm surprised Dylas has that "DOUG!" voiced line; I've never run into it.

The true strength of tamed bosses, I believe, is that they are pretty much universally SMARTER than anything else you can tame (and some villagers, too), and their attacks tend to be far more effective as well. If you can get them a statistical advantage on top of that...

We meet (what probably should be) the first monster that actually offers to join you rather than needing to tame it! And yes, it's a pretty good one, I'd say.

...yeah, I got a whole lot of not very much to say to this one.

...Did Xiao Pai just imply that she KNITTED a Chinese Manju?

Dammit Bado, what was that you said before about not having the heart to go through with scamming people? Either do it or don't! Half-assing it like this just wastes everyone's time! And how is it physically possible to play a harp so badly it literally hurts, anyway? Also, he might actually sell things better if he just admits "this looks like a normal (insert object here), and that's because it is!"

I'd say there's no particular distinction between Ethelberd and the Sechs Empire, since he rules it.

...I think I've already said most of what there is to say about this game by now, really.

I, frankly, want this smug Jagen to be my avatar on all forms of social media immediately.
So, the attacks Terraclone puts out look pretty similar to original Terrable's moveset.

The little spin kick is the same, I think, and it looked like that move where he rears back and lightning starts falling was the same. In RF1 that would chase you around for a while, and it may have in this game too, but I think your monster interrupted it. That meteor move is also pulled straight from his RF1 boss appearance.

Apparently he didn't get the memo about increasing player character power-creep, though. Poor guy.

So for rune factory 4 is there any time limit on any part of the game? Or is the only "time limit" just being able to complete requests before the season needed is over, making you wait until it comes around again to finish it?

Really liking the LP cause there was so much I didn't know, and I'm in awe that you are where you are and its only summer. I think I was into Fall before I got to where you are now. And that is after a one or two restarts to complete stuff more quickly.

There doesn't seem to be any literal timers that I can think of. Even the times people say "we're doing this tonight, so be there at ____PM" for a town event, you can wait multiple days before you actually go there and have the cutscene. The only things that are actually affected by time are shops and festivals.

Oh, I'm still being corrected on multiple things every part, but it just means we're all learning together. :v:
I might have been able to unlock the blue crystal flowers and their request if I'd hauled rear end more and got to Sercerezo Hill before Spring ended, but I can deal with it. Just means once Spring rolls around again, I'll already be done with the following three requests.

On a side note, for those enjoying RF4, you should also check out the other RF screenshot threads going on right now: LordHippoman's RF2, Haifisch's RF3, and Truthkeeper's RF4 (who is further along than I am, spoiler warning).

Also, the last of Animal Parade's footage has been recorded, so that should conclude with either part 28 or 29, depending on how much I want to squeeze into the final part. That too will be near the end of September.

The moment you all and Skippy have been waiting for.

We also talk briefly about a different type of cutie: babies! Which seems like a good point to open more viewer suggestions and voting for Rune Factory 4. We've already voted for Forte to be our future wife, so next vote on what gender you'd like our eventual child to be (or vote to leave it up to fate), as well as give suggestions for their name.
The LP will probably conclude after the birth. There won't be much else I'll want to show off after that, since a completionist run is even more unreasonable than with the other two LPs.
