Has this place really been here the whole time and I just haven't ever noticed it?
Josiah Parker
We're kind of cozy, obscure, and sleepy here.
Also where are those ruins on RF3?
Justin Martinez
In the lake in town.
Parker Garcia
I've never seen it (yet). How do you get there?
Dylan Turner
Water Lily Magic Seed or Ninja Boots Though you can't do anything there until you propose
Robert Cooper
I fucked the horn girl
Joshua Thompson
Did that thing watch the whole baby-making?
Josiah Scott
Congratulations
that birth will be exceedingly painful
Asher Anderson
But this is the settlement
Michael Taylor

Blake Walker

Jaxon Edwards
Gonna need a sauce on this senpai
Jace Russell

Jace Barnes
W-what's wrong with their eyes?
Lincoln Foster

Oliver Anderson

Logan Campbell
She's a big girl.
Justin White
JUST KUSO MY UNKO UP KAZOKU
Robert James

Hunter Roberts
It's a mystery.
Tyler Howard
Noooooo
Gavin Edwards
>page 10
Protect this smile.
Ryder Nelson
I haven't been on in awhile, any new shit for "3 friends..." like screenshots or news?
Nolan Lopez
I'm more worried about their heads, Amber's looks like she just developed sudden-onset gigantism.
We've got waifus and trailers and a theme song and a tomboy maid and T A N T W I N S. So yeah, quite a bit.
Josiah Gutierrez
...
Isaiah Bell
Please tell me this hairstyle has some significance in the real world. Why did they do this
Gabriel Turner
Damn I'm salty, the artistic direction looks wayyyy better than in SOS. I guess in some ways they were trying stuff out in SOS and this is the final product
Ayden Green
>Amber and Meg are now 8heads >Pico got into the wrong sugar >Forte and Xiao are now a Kabuki performers
Nolan Diaz
At least Meg has some hair to cover that head of her's, poor Amber is a full 9head and you could spot that forehead of her's from orbit.
Jose Roberts
Save the thread!
Chase Allen
So cute! Is Lest whispering something to her?
Dylan Stewart
>I l-loathe you.
Mason Davis
...
Brody Diaz
That's read as "da-dai [red]kirai[/red] desu wa," right?
Nathaniel Jackson
*(the red's around the dai too)
Carter Jenkins
>It is slow monrig!
Hunter Bennett
...
Parker Taylor
Yeeeeep, thumbnails can do some horrible things to pictures.
Mason Powell
>That's read as "da-dai [red]kirai[/red] desu wa," right?
Yes, it is 大嫌い/だいきらい.
Hunter Robinson
Hug a wooly today.
Jacob Phillips
Too bad they're taking so long to make another RF, because if they make a console one, it'll probably be for the NX or Wii U, which means if I want to play it, I'd have to shell out for one first.
Cool.
Julian Bell
>i slept with pico
Hunter Perry
That would be an awkward thing to talk to her about...
Hudson Thompson
But how can you stick your dick into a ghost?
Logan Collins
You masturbate inside her and she gets off on the mental aspect of the act. Ah, it's too early for weird fetish-airing
Carter Cook
...
Jack Barnes
Although the game uses 大キライ, not 大嫌い
Jordan Smith
Isn't putting it in katakana the equivalent of CAPS/bolding/italiciszing in English dialog?
Jordan Wilson
Yeah it's used for emphasis, but I don't even see any instances of of Sofia using 大嫌い, although Sherman does once.
Noah Powell
Is it worth it going full autist and getting extreme optimal jesus equipment
I kind of just want to hang out with waifu instead of crafting stuff now, I've got a stable of dragons and other bosses I can throw at literally everything in the game
Luis Barnes
To the extent of max-levelling a bunch of golden veggies and giant crystals and other things and using them to buff your gear for Quality Level bonuses, sure, but nothing that requires grinding monster drops since inheritance can deal with that.
Wyatt Sullivan
Great, I'll just keep on growing golden vegetables then.
On a barely related note, I'm trying out Story of Seasons and the lack of unique dialogue everyday and the distance between the farm and the actual town feels like a huge step down from RF4.
Jayden Baker
>distance between the farm and the actual town
That's a real turn-off for me too. Don't you have to give a daily milk to Elise to get a horse?
Alexander Wright
Yeah and then the horse totally sucks
Asher Cox
Hmm... I wonder...
Mason Sanchez
There's are RF3 romhacks?
Nathan Cooper
Not yet, but it's definitely possible. I'm playing around with the idea right now.
Isaiah Rodriguez
No, you have to give five milk to her one time. Otherwise you pay 100k or something for it.
Except it doesn't. It's twice as fast as the normal running speed, and doesn't need to be kept happy or anything (and it might be immortal?). I think it's the fastest mode of transportation, and you need it to use the warp points too. Well worth it.
Daniel Jenkins
Count me in for stuff if you end up doing anything substantial with it. Making can't-haves available sounds like good times
Well yeah in terms of utility the horse is good. I just mean I don't like how it feels to use, or maybe I'm just spoiled by magic go-fast amulets or ghost mounts you can have constantly follow you
Brody Clark
Anyone want the strawberry and banana costume code for Onechanbara?
Gabriel Ward
For some reason Alvarna is in the locations file for RF3
Jonathan Cooper
Just use carrots to fast travel and never actually actively ride the horse
Juan Diaz
Maybe they originally intended for you to be able to visit Alvarna in RF3?
Luis Hall
There's also things like Final Dungeon 18-29, Labyrinth, Sub Dungeon 06, System 00, Past House, and Old school
Brandon Powell
...
Brody Murphy
Sometimes I wonder about the ethical ramifications of drugging everyone in town to love me so I can unlock a recipe I already know.
William Harris
I don't, as long as they love me and they're happy it's okay. Free will can suck it. Xiao Pai agrees.
Jack Morgan
Rune Factory 5 when?
Ryder Garcia
never ever
Luke Phillips
Frey please, that is lewd.
Luke Rodriguez
Does that say "Congratulations [on] marriage, Dylas?"
William Fisher
This is starting to sound like the premise of a lewd VN...which to be frank Rune Factory 4 would work out pretty well in. A nice stable of heroines with plenty of requisite archetypes like the tomboy, the loli, the pattenko, the MILF, the not-a-maid, the girly-girl, the refined goth and the power princess, potential rivalries and revenge plots from the bachelors, mind-altering substances, monsters, amnesia that could be fake and an excuse for some unscrupulous fellow to get his lewd on in a new life, potential netori with Nancy and Lin Fa, good ends, bad ends, harem ends, and all the normal and weird/fetish sex scenes you could shake several faggots' worth of sticks at.
>Choukyou route where you wear down Meg's inhibitions and turn her into a split-personality sex fiend who turns at the whisper of her code word >Netori route where you dominate both Xiao Pai and Lin Fa and fake evidence Yan Fang was cheating on her, then gettin' your lewd on with both of them >Netori + pregnancy fetish route where you steal Nancy away from Jones or arrange an accident for him, then show her what a man not shooting blanks can do with her womanhood >Yandere route where you eventually Macguyver a way to make Pico flesh-and-blood again by making Dolce a surrogate, using forbidden magic to overwrite the baby's soul with Pico's and forbidden medicine to artificially age her body up to the legal range and genderswap it if necessary >Revenge subroute where you crossdress and torture Doug for all the shit he's given you, then toss him into that one looking-for-a-wife monster pit where he spends the rest of his days in blissful mindbroken monster matrimony >Lewd mystery route where you pursue Illuminata and dig into her past, eventually finding the real reasons she has such a hard time with relationships and helping her get over them >GFD/RR route with Forte where you break down her iron facade and she eventually takes the initiative
Jackson Thompson
I think doug is a cockgobbler but i don't think i could leave him in the pit with that monster raccoon
Luis Wright
>GFD/RR a what
i like all of these ideas except the part where frest is horribly manipulative and a bad person, their earnestness and utter lack of guile is really charming
Matthew Gomez
Gentle Femdom/Role Reversal, I hit the character limit. And don't think of it as being "horribly manipulative and a bad person," think of it as Frest "enlightening" their route partners and showing them just why he/she's the fucking best. And if nothing else, hey, you've got to break a few eggs to make an omelette, and if you really want that action with Nancy or Lin Fa then Jones and Yan Fang're going to have to lose out, simple as that.
Except for the Doug bit, I'll give you that, but that fucker has it coming and someone's got to have a legit bad end and I'd much rather it be him than someone likeable.
Sebastian Gomez
There's gotta be a more honest way of setting up the Lin Fa route. She says in the game she doesn't miss her husband, but I wonder how true that actually is. Her and Shoe's tacit acceptance of Yang Something being a faceless deadbeat scrub who contributes nothing to the family other than stopping by once a year to peddle his acai berry juice pyramid scheme crap baffles me.
Tyler Scott
I dig it, though doug and pico are 2extreme4me. I dont think forte is a good fit for gfd though, her unexpected passivity is part of her charm. Dolce or Meg would be better imho
Jack Williams
I like the idea of it. Femdom but she'd be bad at it. You'd top from the bottom
Nathan Long
if you people think a straightforward armorko like forte would be into anything other than a pure romantic love you are crazy
can't speak for frest though
Charles Taylor
>remember an image of an embarassed dom >decide to google embarrassed femdom >what could go wrong That's a top tier idea though
Jordan Garcia
fun fact: Ed's VA is the same as Frey's (in the dubs).
Jace Hill
the worst part of rf4 is that no one ever invites you to eat at the restaurant with them
then you roll on in to get a bunch of stale bread you're gonna eat by yourself at the counter and everyone's sitting together having a good time
Josiah Sanchez
>ディラフレ >ケッコン >オメデトウ
DylaFre (A portmanteau of Dylas + Frey as I'm sure you've guessed.) Congratulations on your marriage!
Isaac Lopez
Oh -- I didn't really see that last part so I thought it was a "ス."
Kevin Robinson
Should I play Tides on Wii or PS3?
Parker Campbell
>buy forte the legendary cheesecake >take her home >ask her about the cheesecake >"me and kiel ate it together" why are you lying to me
Lincoln Perez
There's no reason she couldn't have shared it with her brother.
Leo Gomez
i was with her the entire time man, kiel was across town. there is no scenario where she could have consumed that cake with her brother. i walked her straight home from the general store
Christopher Reed
In the brief moment you transitioned screens, she teleported to Kiel and shoved half of the cheesecake into his mouth, then teleported back.
Daniel Smith
How many people can actually use teleport?
Lucas Perry
Wait, do people actually dislike Doug? I've only just finished saving Venti for real so I haven't had time to date him yet, but I'm planning on marrying the guy. I really liked his character arc, his relationship with Blossom seemed sweet. Is there something seriously wrong with him that comes up later or what?
Nolan Flores
...
Aiden Nguyen
I think everyone or tons of people would die
Jacob Thomas
Also
Brody Morales
>forte's teleport is bound to her brother in case of emergency >lest's teleport is bound to his bed because he's a lazy fucker
Jonathan Robinson
Ondorus and Marjorie seem to do it fine, and there was someone else (Pia or Sakuya maybe?)
