Okay. People are also interested in waifuism, so I might as well go into details on my thoughts of the canditates:
Clorica Pros: Nice personality. Can get work done efficiently. Cons: Narcoleptic. This aspect of her overshadows everything else about her. Likely to fall asleep during dates. Verdict: I'll pass. Too much sleeping, not enough...everything else. Forte Pros: Kicks butt. Genuinely tries to protect people. It's cute how she pretends to not like girly stuff. Cons: Armor is slightly unflattering...although I appreciate that it's more realistic instead of being boob armor. Honestly, not any major flaws. Verdict: Strong contender. I like girls who can fight. Margaret Pros: Probably the best-looking. Nice to a fault. Can sing. Cons: Honestly, is kind of boring. Verdict: Strong contender simply because she hits a lot of strong notes. Pun intended. Xiao Pai Pros: Her gimmick of being bad at everything when her mom is bad at everything (while everything turning out well for her anyway) is pretty funny. Cons: Her gimmick is still...well, a gimmick. Dude, she's like, 13. Verdict: Hard pass. Too young and little characterization. Amber Pros: I mean I kinda like her character but... Cons: Dude, she's like, 10. Verdict: Hard pass for obvious reasons. Dolce Pros: Probably my favorite personality. Quiet, but secretly kind while being a little twisted. Isn't actually mean to people except her dumb ghost friend. Also rocks the top hat. Cons: Her ghost friend sucks. She never shuts up and literally can't be away from Dolce. Verdict: Strong contender. Would be the #1 choice if it weren't for her obnoxious ghost friend. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. ... Copied to Clipboard!

KamikazePotato 12/12/17 11:16:29 PM #27: |
Side note: my weapons of choice are the Spear, Hammer, and Staff. The Spear charge combo is amazing at stunlocking a single enemy into almost instant death. The Staff is really good for dealing with ranged assholes (also I can finally use HEALING jesus was waiting on that for a while). The Hammer is probably my favorite. There's this one martial ability that attacks all enemies in front of you in a wide arc. Using that with the Hammer knocks them all back and almost always stuns them. It's amazing for crowd control.

I believe the game doesn't count Doug for the sake of that request to raise friendship levels, since they lock his for so long. (Way longer than even makes sense with the plot, he gets over his issue and then you still can't raise his friendship for a while after that for no reason)

It's one of my favorite 3DS games, actually. Really covers up a lot of the weaknesses of standard Harvest Moon I think-- surprisingly good gameplay and fun quirky characters. You have good taste in waifuism btw. I went with Dolce though yeah that ghost does kinda grate on you. I do think some of the more shallow ones become a bit less one note than you were describing them as you trigger more of their events so that helps-- I don't actually remember if friendship level mattered for triggering those or if it was just random or what but I think getting everyone up to 7 is probably a good idea. (Just in case)
Rune Factory 3 is also really good if you haven't played that-- it's a bit of a step back in a few gameplay related regards but not to the point where it's unplayable after having played 4-- I think I like the cast better too overall, though I do really like RF4's cast too. This probably won't be too relevant cause I imagine RF4 will actually be long enough (there's actually a ton of content in the game-- hell I haven't done all of the optional stuff) that you'll probably have the series out of your system by the time you finish it, but it's something to keep in mind for the future if you ever get the itch (I haven't heard great things about RF1/2 after RF4 though I'm pretty sure those actually do feel dated) --- No problem!

KamikazePotato 12/12/17 11:56:15 PM #36: |
Yeah I'll keep RF3 in mind for later down the road, but RF4 is going to satisfy that itch for a very long while. It's seems pretty damn long!
I didn't expect to enjoy the writing or the combat nearly as much as I do. Crafting too! The only part I don't like - and this is my least-favorite part of this genre in general - is taking care of farm animals. In every game like this, it's way too much of a time investment for so little of a reward. There's already a million things to keep track of. At least I can (sometimes) get the lazy bastards to water my field for me. Also after some recent story developments the ghost is starting to grow on me.

Rune Factory series is basically Harvest Moon combined with the best of 2D Zeldaish style gameplay and silly writing. I'd recommend every Harvest Moon fan to at least try one.
And yeah once you get a lot of screens for your field you'll appreciate animals more I think. They save a lot of time for you when they're at higher friendship levels. Costs more feed but still saves time. Also keep in mind that you can get some pretty rare items pretty consistently if you raise certain types of monsters-- since you don't need to limit yourself to cows and chickens here. Some of em are pretty competent in battle too. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't think there is one. But it stops mattering for any gameplay effect after 10 IIRC unless there's a secondary effect I'm forgetting.

For monsters they will keep getting stat boosts up to level 50 friendship but I think for people 10 is the highest that anything is necessary for. Though I think getting higher than that will still boost your success rate for love confessions

Wettable powder is fairly inexpensive and will really help a lot for that. And making sure your plants and soil are at full health by hoeing dried grass. Just put a piece of dried grass on the square of soil you want to heal and hit it with a hoe.
You can check the health of crops and soil with a magnifying glass. Or if you use a forge and upgrade another tool with a magnifying glass then its effect will be added to that tool. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Got a Cookie from every girl in town on Valentine's day. Aw yeah.
There's so many little mechanics in this game to discover and keep track of. Earlier on I found the Summer Field, went "oh cool a free plot", and started planting random crap there. It was only much later, after I'd found all the other Fields, that I wondered if just maybe I should be only planting summer crops in the Summer Field. Part 2 storyline has started. I don't take any NPCs out on missions because I like fighting solo. My untrained Forte got obliterated by the plot monster. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. ... Copied to Clipboard!

yeah you can use them in the compost bin too but they're really for healing soil. There's a reliable source for them that you might have even found by now, though you probably avoided it once you saw what else was there.
And yeah corn and 4 leaf clovers work too but I'd rather sell those or use them in other things when possible. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
