Rune Factory 3 Special

A charming game, it's not as complex or crazy as 4, but it's the last game in the series to have an exclusively male protagonist, so a lot of work went into the bachelorettes, and they're all very well developed and fun to build relations with. Easy to beat before the first year is over.

I love this game. It's a bit simpler than Rune Factory 4 but the story and cast is fantastic. I played probably hundreds of hours on the original DS release and the special edition is ALMOST as good. I highly recommend adding the original voice lines mod from the steam workshop cause when they redid the voice acting for the little snippets of text it was nothing like the original games. Poor Raven and Daria were hit the hardest. (I tested and that mod doesn't affect achievements incase you were worried about that) For those who have never played a Rune Factory game, it's kind of like Stardew Valley in that the base game is a farming sim but there's so much more to do. There's so many skills (it's the main gimmick of the Rune Factory series) where as you level up a specific weapon, your ability to find hidden loot, or even your ability to sleep, your character grows stronger so it's not all about combat to level you up and get stronger. You play as a male antagonist who fell from the sky and has amnesia (a trope for all Rune Factory games at this point) and has the ability to transform into a Wooly (this world's monster version of a sheep) Sadly there's no gender option in this game, you play as a male and the story require you to romance one of the 11 bachelorettes. All of them are pretty unique from each other at least. If you know what you're doing, you can be done with the main story in under an ingame year (at the time of writing this review and 22 hours in, I'm on summer 24 and on the 4th of 5 dungeons). There's also difficulty options if you think the game's going too fast but in my opinion it just makes the enemies tankier and makes you grind more, doesn't actually add mechanics or anything. There is a randomized dungeon in the postgame which features bosses from the two previous RF games as well as bosses from this entry. There are different difficulty levels you can pick where they have specific bosses at the end of them as well as a super hard randomized dungeon (I think it's level 220 but I would recommend being 10-20 levels above the level of the dungeons when you attempt them the enemies are stronger than their level would suggest)

So this may be on me because I 100% did not read the details on this after coming from later editions of Rune Factory but I didn't realize when they went back and updated this game that they didn't update the love interests so you can romance them regardless of gender. And I really do not want to play as a boy in order to romance who I want. I also felt the graphics and tool sensitivity was updated enough to make it worth playing this years after release when there are plenty of farming sims with fighting nowadays.

i have no idea why nobody talks about this game it is honestly incredible, characters, art and the music are really surprisingly great and everything about this game oozes charm and a fun quirkyness that no other farming sim has. the amount of little details and things you can do are crazy especially for when this game originally released - i don't really want to spoil anything so if you are looking for a stardew valley like or what have you look no further this game is extremely great just try it

[h2]RuneFactory3，承载着很多美好。[h2] 购买这个游戏，是为童年补票。小时候的情感启蒙作品了，当年玩的时候沉浸感拉满，觉得自己就生活在希亚蕾丝，身边是一群性格各异的伙伴。小孩从不种田，每天只找一个人的委托做。 [strike]这也算是一种专一吧？ [/strike] 现在重新发现了这款游戏，抱着决心打开了它。开篇的op不是happiness，但也很好听。就是动画做的有点烂烂的。 初见还是那个温柔善良 [spoiler]而有些腹黑[/spoiler]的女孩子，希雅。立绘不再是像素块，却少了当年看到的心动感。 每天认真种田，认真完成三个委托处的委托。小时候觉得有意思的剧情故事，如今再看，却觉得有一丝幼稚。我见识到了更多的剧情内容，但内心的感受却变少了。 还记得以前的op里，麦斯从人类变身为摩可摩可，顶着风雨，然后向前奔跑。那种带有主题叙事性的op有一种魔力，总是吸引着小时候的我一遍遍看完，然后在心里把rf3的主题和主线剧情再洗刷一遍。 最让我印象深刻的，“希亚蕾丝之花，再度开放”，在玩家击败了最终boss，和喜欢的人走到最后以后，op从清澈的女声变成了温柔平和的男声，曲调也变得舒缓，像是在把一路上的经历以及最后美好的结局向玩家娓娓道来。 作为本作的主题，催生希亚蕾丝之花于此开放的，魔物和人类的友谊，本质讲的是“包容”和“爱”。这种被用滥了的主题，却给当时是小孩的我留下了不可磨灭的印象和感动。果然这种简单明了到不能再简单的道理和主题，才是这类jrpg游戏最浪漫的内核。只不过作为老年人，我已经不太能吃这一套了。令人唏嘘。

我的原版OP去哪了！！！
