Yeah, in the Gamecube version she was one of the two people your kid could grow up to marry.

Xenoith posted:Quick question about RF3.. can you change the equipment your allies have? Do you gift it to them, or do they just gain new gear based on their level? You gift it to them, one weapon and one accessory each and any new one overrides the old ones. I learned that when I accidently chucked a pin to Gaius as a gift and he started using it over the leather belt I gave him People also only use certain types of weapons so check what they have equipped and give them updated versions or they just take it as a generic gift.

ThemeMusicC posted:My main problem with Tides of Destiny is how incredibly separate the town seems to be from your adventures. No one cares what you're doing travelling across the ocean unless you're doing a quest for them. No one gets freaked out or concerned about the things that happen at the shrines in the game, or at least they haven't three shrines into the game for me. Its sort of the same thing with your oddity too. It was a really big deal you were a half-Wooly in Rune Factory 3. In ToD, during your introduction, you just sort of drop "I have a girl sharing my body" and "She can speak with a disembodied voice" and no one bats an eye. The villagers in ToD are really loving weird.

Mountaineer posted:Rune Factory 4 is a pretty great game, but stronghold building isn't one of the reasons why. You build up the town some buy creating new shops and festivals to attract tourists, but that's about it. Most of the development you do is focused more on expanding your farm and storage capacity. And building your barns, throwing food at monsters till they love you and using them as Gladiators/Mounts/Farm labor.

Animals are also significantly impacted by their personalities. I have 4 Cows, 3 Sheep and 5 Chickens currently and their happiness bars are all over the place despite treating them the same. Animals with the active personality absolutely love me. I got a cow on the same day Eda gave me Hanako with an active personality and that cow has maxed out happiness at Fall 1 while Hanako is around five hearts despite treating them the same. There are similar trends with the sheep and chickens. Cowardly animals on the other hand...

Zoo06 posted:I don't take them out of the barn and all the animals with active personalities have crap hearts for happiness. My first chicken has maybe 4 hearts and later chickens are nearly maxed out. Same with a couple of my sheep. I suppose the "active" ones like going outside more than the others...maybe cowardly prefer indoors or something? I have a cowardly cow and it loves the poo poo out of me. I have some level-headed ones that are (unsurprisingly) in between. Yeah, I take mine out every day. I guess I'll be mixing it up from now on (and not dealing with wrangling 10 animals in and out every day!) Also farm animals in general live 5-6 years with sheep a bit less. Remember though that they can't die when pregnant and the babies start with half the affection the mothers did.

You can also eat literally any dish and recover your health. So pick up any of those billon Small Chars and make it into grilled fish. Eat it and suddenly you can go out in a typhoon with no penalty as long as you do so after the inital health drop.

Lord of Pie posted:I haven't really gotten much into giving gifts to villagers yet, other than Eda. I usually throw something at people on their birthday and let the rest of the friend points come from contest wins. I pretty much did the same thing on ANB. Realistically just by participating in festivals and talking to people every day you can max out everyone's affection in 7-10 seasons. Especially if you splurge on the summer fireworks, people fuckin love you if you do that.

Yeah, Marion's a dude who likes to crossdress. Interestingly both he and Giorgio have out of town boyfriends. I don't think they ever actually show up in the game though. Stuff like that is why I'm sad they dropped stuff like the rival mechanic. Seeing other villagers pair up over time, or maybe even have kids, could have been neat. As it is you have weird stuff like your kids growing up while Lutz and Melanie are stuck in elementary school.

Usually it's the secret characters that are a bitch to get with. I don't think there are even 'secret' options in the game, at least none in the vein of the Harvest God/dess/Witch/Wizard of previous games. I mean, there are 4 villagers who show up later but they aren't really hidden.

I think 100 if its the species specific treat, 200 if its the generic treat to max their bars out. There's a breakpoint for 1 more of whatever they produce every 25 species specific treats or 50 regular treats. So they max out at five I'm pretty sure. It might slow down later though, I'm only in late Winter 1 and my animals have just started popping out 3 milks and eggs. Zore fucked around with this message at 08:08 on Apr 19, 2015 |

They do unlock some, though I think you buy them from one of the country sellers? All I know is that I was growing a spice in Summer 1.

They stop selling the seeds around when the seed maker unlocks and you don't want to have to jump on a bunch of poo poo for months hoping it'll spit out a turnip packet.

I want villagers to have more personality and have more unique events and conversations. Rune Factory 4 I felt had a great balance here where there were tons of unique events, most of which were multi-step events you needed to do something with. And people had just a ton of incidental dialogue, two and three years in I was still seeing things I hadn't before. The mainline games have felt really lacking in this since RF3 came out for me. Which sucks because Villagers are an even bigger portion of the game in mainline versus Rune Factory. Actually, I skipped most of the mainline games between A Wonderful Life and Tale of Two Towns. Are there any gems I should definitely go back and play now that I'm winding down on Story of Seasons? Preferably with more interesting events/characters?

Well this loving sucks. I got a new cat and now its all buggy/glitchy and won't work properly. It teleports to a part of the map and is stuck there running or lying in place. You pick it up and move it and the second its put down it teleports again. You take it on a walk and it just teleports somewhere on the new map with the same behavior. I've tried moving it indoors, changing pet houses, changing pet houses on different plot and its still doing this. Fuuuuuck both my other pets work fine too.Update: I've been trsting and it consistently fucks with Herding cats assigned indoors. So don't do that I guess or they'll glitch out hard.

They're usually the best ones anyways. Also, while I know not everyone was a fan, I liked the story structure of A Wonderful Life.

Yeah, all marriage candidates have 2 gender neutral events that anyone can see and 2 locked to light green/dark green flower level you can only see if your character is the opposite gender and you aren't dating/married. Inari and the DLC candidates have fewer than everyone else.

Willo567 posted:I'm interested in Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns, but I haven't really played the previous game. What are the differences between SoS1 and ToT? Story of Seasons 1 has a focus on unlocking Merchants from various countries. Normal Harvest Moon buying/selling is eschewed and you need to time it based on these Merchant's 3 day cycles as you sell directly to them instead of via a shipping box. It also has various special plots of land you compete with other farmers for, which range from extra normal fields to rice paddy ones. You can also swim and dive for junk in various lakes and rivers and catch bugs to give as gifts and sell. Clothing and outfits can give you various perks like 'run faster' or 'time moves slower'. Trio of Towns is more traditional in that you have a shipping box that you put all your stuff in, gets picked up at 6pm and you get your money the next morning. There are 3 towns that are unlocked over the first month and a half and all of them are on slightly different schedules (Lulukoko has stores open from 6-10am and then from 5-9pm. Westown has stores open from 10am-5pm etc). There's a lot more character interaction and ambient dialogue, and I personally like the Bachelors/Bachelorettes a lot more. There are also part time jobs you can do that get you money and Town Rank, which is how you upgrade stores, which are just minigames. Clothing perks have been moved to various foods and last a limited amount of time. Zore fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Apr 1, 2017 |
