Topic: Rune Factory 4

That seems to be the case in general, as I've seen reports vary even with normal SD cards, across card (memory) sizes, manufacturers, maybe even classes. Heck, if you just read forums alone, you might come to the conclusion that only the SD card Nintendo includes with the system is guaranteed to work.

Reportedly, MicroSD card adapters may also be a little problematic, but there's also a lot of people who insist MicroSDs work just fine in a 3DS. So, yeah, YMMV.

This game... Wow...

I just got to the Obsidian Mansion, and it manage to jump scare me a good couple of times; the eerie ambiance and overall tone of the place is such a massive contrast compared to the rest of this game.

Speaking of the rest of this game... What a great game... At first, I went on the Wiki and was somewhat turned off by the looks of some of the characters; needless to say, they appear 1000x better in-game (a problem I saw with most of the RF games).

There's just so much humor and wit, along with an innuendo here and there, put into this translation: not only is there a circle of friends between the bachelorettes again, but there's one for the bachelors this time around. It's just great to see the different dynamics between the genders, while simultaneously making all the characters likeable. Even if the writing was a little off at first, I genuinely found individual querks and perks inside each one of these characters. They all seem to guard their own secrets as well, Venti especially.

I can easily and confidently say this is one of my favorite games ever, and that's saying something, considering it's up against Shim Megami Tensei IV, The World Ends With You, and Kid Icarus Uprising.

Damn... This just got dark...

I'm sorry if this has already been asked or is otherwise a stupid question. I've shipped level 2 turnips and level 2 turnip seeds. But I can still only buy level 1 turnip seeds in the shop. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or do I have to "unlock" something to get higher level seeds (besides shipping).

I can tell many of you are way ahead of me in the game. I don't work in the store yet. I've only clobbered the first boss so far. I'm working on the water ruins. Maybe I haven't gotten far enough yet.

Thanks!

@Zaphod_Beeblebrox Higher lever seeds are either "won" through "gambling" with the sickle (slicing the plants), which then unlocks the higher seeds. That said, as customary to this franchise, the plants mostly start at Lv. 1, and whatever you do with them (fertilize, formula A, etc.) affects their growth.

Yup, I've already grown level 2 turnips and gotten level 2 seeds (while harvesting). Once you sell them, you are supposed to be able to buy level 2 seeds in the general store. That's how it worked in RF3 and one of the characters in RF4 has told me this as well. But it hasn't worked. Store still has only level 1 for sale.

Arrrgh! For crying out loud! I just found the request which unlocks the sale of higher-level seeds in the shop. I can now buy level 2 turnip seeds in the general store. Why did they hide this behind a request???

The obsidian mansion.. Oh god. Just. What.
I'm already at Yokmir Cave and I'm still not over it.
It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts.

That's now how it works now. It's through requests this time around. One of the (very few) things I don't like about this game is the new request board design. Aaaagh. No more pretty requester photos.

You guys are REALLY tempting me to play my copy. Maybe I should take a break from Platinum?...but POKEMON!!! And even if I did, Pokemon X comes out next week so MORE POKEMON!!!

Heh, yeah, that's probably the one thing keeping me from getting too into the game... if only RF4 had released earlier in the summer...

@CanisWolfred @Akira Pokemon isn't out yet, is it? /slides copy of Rune Factory 4 in front of you

Cool, another copy.

...aren't you afraid we'll sell the extra copies and use the money to buy Pokemon, though? <runs>

Do it.

Dooooo iiiiiiiit.

So, I have some questions:

• Can we break up in this game?
• I'm dating Forte currently. Good choice?
• How do I defeat that f*cking flower in the Lava Ruins?!

@GuardianKing Solid choice. She's very pretty, independent and strong. When you're in a pickle, your girlfriend can help you.

Haha. She's a good companion, joking aside. She has this heal spell when you're low on health and she can even heal herself, so you won't have to worry all that much. Good strength and stuff. Great defense makes her good bait material for bosses.

edited. my A is broken asdfghjkl stupid phone

RF4 is probably better than Pokémon anyway, but don't listen to me though. I'm not a big fan of Pokémon games.

Do you know if I can change the nickname my date calls me?

@GuardianKing No idea. Find the namechanger girl or maybe it's in the BTW menu.

That's my same situation I really want to get this game. But I've gotten so excited to get back into Pokemon (haven't played them since Gold/Silver) that I just can't bring myself to get it right now. I do plan on getting it though, I loved Tides of Destiny. Just not right now, though I am really tempted. D;

Edit: Nice avy btw Mugi is my favorite girl from K-On!

Just bought this game yesterday, and I'm really liking it so far!
