Review: The best, and possibly last Rune Factory game ~ - Fans, this is a sad day. Neverland, the company responsible for these games has closed their doors. We can hope and wish for another company to purchase development rights... but that is a prayer likely to go unanswered. Even if another developer picks up the franchise, they might ruin the series - as so many other developers have done to other series. Well, Neverland gave us the best swan song they could. Rune Factory 4 takes the recipe from previous installments, shakes it up, and then gives us a fresh, less tedious game to enjoy. At the heart the game is still Rune Factory. Cue cheesy 3rd party character animation introductions! (Seriously though, the animation is great - but the music and the creepy noises they make when being introduced really are odd). My biggest gripe with the game is somewhat minor: the main story quest is short. Granted, if you spend a lot of time farming and maxing out your skills the game takes over 40 hours. But if you focus on fighting to the finish, you get about 10 to 15 hours of actual story game play. It works out okay though. You spend a bit of time getting the story, then you have long stretches where you can farm or do other tasks and come back to the main story line later. But don't expect the typical, story heavy game play. So positives? Well I know that the big game websites and magazines moan about the story - but then they all to often complain about innovative stories that try to be different and fail (FF13?). Rather, this is an entertaining story with some humor sprinkled throughout. Compare the traditional RPG themed story to another recent 3DS title, Bravely Default. I adore Bravely Default - but it has one of the blandest stories in a GOOD RPG I've played in awhile. At least in Rune Factory we have the multitude of fun characters to add to the story. Without the characters adding their own little humor and separate stories, one would have the traditional 'kid with amnesia' story so common to the genre. Other nice things? Being able to pick male or female. And - bless you Japan and XSEED: they left in the Yaoi element. Meaning you can have a non - ahem - traditional relationship. So if you want to, you can have your male character fall in love with another male character. One of the biggest improvements is in the quest features. They have really toned down the boring fetch quests. There are still a number of quick 'delivery' quests - but typically these involve farming for or collecting an item (or having already acquired it) and placing it in your deliver box. The nice thing is that if you have already fulfilled this earlier, it counts it as having been completed. So if it asks you to deliver a potato, and you already did, then you can immediately 'complete' the quest. But far less quests involve 'go to character A and pick up item, deliver to character B, then return to speak to character A'. Those easy, nonsense, boring quests are gladly absent. Some of the quests are more interesting and involved ('raise all character and monster friend levels to X' for example). The variety is nice, and one can fulfill quests in a variety of orders and fashions. Completed quests yield 'Prince Points' used to upgrade your room, the village, gain licenses, or expand your storage. The airship is also nice. You can now freely fast travel to and from discovered save points. This eases the travel time and makes it possible to skip over a lot of trekking. Sometimes the trekking is fun, but often completing a more challenging part of the story quest requires several attempts at completing a dungeon or beating a boss, so it's nice to have instant access to those points near the action. Lastly I would point out that the music score is very impressive. The town and surrounds have nice tunes, but the dungeons and distant areas have remarkable scores. Graphics are also impressive for the format, though the 3D is pretty lackluster. Granted, I rarely play in 3D, but this game is not tweaked for the style like some of the other 3DS titles (such as Mario Kart 7 and Bravely Default). Bottom line? I would say 4.5 / 5 Pros: + Engaging NPCs + Adjustable difficulty setting + Great musical score + Immense fun and variety: crafting, battling, fishing, farming, etc... + Vastly improved quests over previous installments Cons: - Traditional, 'safe' RPG story (not a big negative point) - Short main story quest - Sub par 3D effects ## Features - The popular spinoff from the Harvest Moon’ series returns, combining farming and family life with monster battling and taming, with an all new story that’s accessible to new players and series veterans alike - Whether it be governing as the prince, tilling the fields, interacting with townsfolk, or heading to a dungeon to take on dangerous foes, the diverse amount of activities ensure that each day is a new adventure - Use swords, spears, staffs and other weapons and magic to personalize your battle tactics as formidable monsters await in trap laden dungeons; invite the townsfolk along, develop friendships with certain monsters and grow stronger together - The main character can be male or female, and either gender can woo marriage candidates from among the townsfolk; communication and gift giving will be key to romance, potentially resulting in marriage and perhaps an adorable child together ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BAWXD88 | | Best Sellers Rank | #47,738 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #1,853 in Nintendo 3DS & 2DS Consoles, Games & Accessories | | Compatible Video Game Console Models | Nintendo 2DS, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL | | Computer Platform | Nintendo 3DS | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,101) | | Date First Available | February 4, 2013 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00853466001568 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.634 ounces | | Item model number | 81356 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Xseed | | Product Dimensions | 0.4 x 4.9 x 5.4 inches; 0.63 ounces | | Publication Date | October 1, 2013 | | Rated | Everyone 10+ | | Release date | October 1, 2013 | | Type of item | Video Game | | UPC | 044113224199 751195326955 853466001568 885840696336 885152576562 885117134042 | ## Images ![XSEED Games Rune Factory 4 - Nintendo 3DS - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LFy4Ua0vL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Working *by R***M on 2 June 2023* I miss playing this 😊 thanks. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best, and possibly last Rune Factory game ~ *by C***T on 10 March 2014* Fans, this is a sad day.
