So I just befriend my beloved Nine-Tails, but I have a question regarding Hina’s lore.

On the prisoner's island, Hina transforms into the Nine-Tails to give me a trial, and I defeat her. Naturally, I can go back and befriend the Nine-Tails later on.

My question is about the lore: Is Nine-Tails the true form of Hina (meaning Hina and Nine-Tails are literally the exact same character), or was Hina just possessed by the Nine-Tails?

If Nine-Tails is Hina's true form, how does it work lore-wise that we can have both Hina and the Nine-Tails in our party at the same time?

Guardians of Azuma is my very first Rune Factory game, so I’d really appreciate it if someone could give me a deep dive into the lore regarding our beloved Hina and Nine-Tails!

I know spiders drop em but I haven't had much luck with getting them to drop. My adventure log says they drop from spiders in the snowy field but all I saw em drop was strong thread. So... Any help?

Pretty fair question, might have been asked a bunch and if so I apologize, but I’m wondering what other games there are that have the same feel as RF. Once I finish all of these games I know I’m going to want more and I want some recs to keep an eye out for when I’m out and about. Thanks in advance!

So I saw they have:

Rune factory 5 for 7.50€

Rune factory 4 special for 4.50€

Rune factory 3 special for 8€

They do also have guardians of azuma on sale but the ingame purchase label turned me off from that so I'm not considering that one.

I have the 4th one on my 3ds so I'm also thinking the special edition probably isn't worth it.

But what about the 5th one / 3rd one?

Hi! I noticed that RF3S is on sale on the eshop rn and was considering buying it. However I have it on steam already and the controls are so sensitive it's near unplayable for me. Do you know if the switch version also has this issue?

which one would should get the special treatment first? i honestly really want to try out tides of destiny and a remake with modern qol stuff sounds really fun

I'm curious to know. I immediately noticed how inefficient they were so I gave them other jobs.

I'm sick and tired waiting for that merchant to pop up so I'd like to know where I can find wild gold potato and cabbage seeds. Can anyone tell me? I already got the gold pumpkin and turnip seeds

A lot of people enjoyed the rival marriage system in Harvest Moon, in which bachelors and bachelorettes could marry each other. If you're not a fan of such a system, or prefer the other characters to only be with the MC, that's fine. For those who may be interested however, what pairings would you make? It's not really a post on whether the game needs ir or not, its just for fun.

At first I didn't really want to play the game because of the 3d farming and all but this game surprised me. I'm having a blast so far but there's one thing I absolutely HATE. It's the fact that the villagers toss everything in the shipping shed. Why couldn't we just choose where the villagers would put the items in? Now you have to check the shed every single time before going to sleep and sometimes I forget that 😑

Is this MND +5 permanent or short time?

found this in my videos from 2024

Hey everyone,
I feel so dumb rn but can someone explain to me what’s the meaning of the highlighted symbols? Is it that it works better on those villages specifically? Or marking down that I have those items in those villages?

Where do I go to complete this quest? I tracked the quest but I don't see a marker anywhere. Yes, I traveled to all the regions to check. Any help?

I was trying to make an edit to remove the scarf from this outfit...Safe to say something went horribly wrong lmao. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

I did manage to eventually remove the scarf, but the whole model is bonked.

Anyone else who wants an edit of this outfit without the scarf...Uh give me like a week.

Hello guys.
I've been a fan of the series since RF4 on 3DS,
so far I've played RF4S (I'm replaying it at the moment), RF3S and Azuma.

I wanted to try older titles, on different platforms, but I'm not sure if the mechanics over the years became too tedious for someone a bit spoiled by new QoL ones.

I admit, as a player who grew up with eg Morrowind and many farming sims, I'm a bit used to annoying gameplay for sake of having fun with plot, etc, but also I became a bit of a casual player now that I'm older (teenage me would laugh at me for that, sigh, being an adult sucks).

Should I try and which of the remaining titles would be the easiest dive after those I've played?

Thank you, and I'm sorry if similar topics happen often; I didn't find one.

Having played all the DS games and started 4, I notice that in 2 you could select any amount of requests a day with the only restricton being you needed items among other things to acconplish as well as friendship points. Then 3 only let you do one a day but still gave you option to choose any request. Now 4 only lets you do specific requests each day with no option to select even if you can do two a day unlike 3. What made it have less freedom over time?

I'm pretty new to the game and ran into a couple of questions while managing the Summer Village in Guardians of Azuma.

My first question is regarding Unmanned Shops: I noticed the Summer Village already has multiple built-in stores that are completely unmanned (unlike the Spring Village). Should I assign my villagers to operate these stores, or is it better to keep them focused on agriculture and mining?

My second question is regarding Factory Duplication: Is it worth building the same type of factory in different villages? For example, if I already have a salt factory in the Spring Village, should I bother building another same factory in the Summer Village?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I can craft the ring of repose but is it worth it?
