Found it, IT LIVES!

Well, lets ask some questions to keep this alive:
So I got into RF4 and couldn't get into it as much as I did into RF3 (probably because I chose hard mode...which is really fucking hard). But I want to try again and see where it gets me. The other walkthrough, I believe that what I did was beat the first act, how long is the game apart from this?

Also, any recommendations for what I should be focusing on, early game?

get the quests that give you the axe/hammer and monster barn asap
then do whatever you want

So about what waifus would be like if they were yandere, dare I ask what Amber would be like?

heard an NPC say that if i upgrade anything (a bracelet for example) with a ring (ruby/sapphire etc) the bracelet gets the effect of the ring
did this but theres nothing showing up in the tooltip of the bracelet
am i being rused?

Is this RF4? I think gems are supposed to grant certain stat bonuses if you upgrade them with it.

yes RF4 but theres accesories like rings made out of gens that give type resistance like wind res +50% for emeralds

and an NPC told me if i use one of those rings as an upgrade material for armor I get the type res bonus from the ring

>The Nostalgia Strikes Back
>Become so obsessed with digging up a weird-ass story I saw 10 years ago I forget about the thread until it's too late

My bad, though at least I managed to find it and a few more equally-as-weird goodies (and I'll pass on sharing here, though if your interests go that way and you visit /d/ you've probably seen it posted).

Best princess in LKS?

...

So since we were talking about Little King's Story's soundtrack I wanna' post one of the more interesting arrangements which was used for Worrywort (Egg) Kingdom.

youtube.com/watch?v=3ObDwz4ETnY&index=36&list=PL5C452C26F5DD63A0

Dvorak's big claim to fame in modern culture is of course movement 4 of the New World Symphony, but he was prolific as FUCK during his time and produced a lot of stuff that captured national and ethnic spirits, including the Slavonic Dances (which, interestingly, were supposedly originally for piano like the LKS arrangement before he rewrote them for orchestra)

I still don't get why she likes small rocks.

Some people just like collecting rocks, man.

She's a blacksmith, she uses them for blacksmithy shit. It's the same reason why doctor characters always like herbs, bartender characters always like alcohol, farmer characters always like animal products, etc

She would try to be with you all the time 24/7. Any time someone would try to get close to you they would "dissappear".

That's only the violent subtype though, they could be obsessive in a pacifist/only-self-destructive manner, like obsessively working themselves to the brink of death to improve themselves so you find them more attractive (could see Vishnal doing that) or worshiping you and molding every facet of their life to incorporate you, or like that example with Meg last thread doing absolutely everything they can to please and satisfy you.

Of course that's not NEARLY as interesting as ideas like Arthur cracking after Frey marries Doug instead of him and enacting a strange and terrible vengence, first by kidnapping Doug and feeding him to a bunch of pigs to make the stock price of the owners' company freefall after "evidence" emerges it's a mafia corpse dumping front and thus make Arthur's own more valuable, then trussing Frey up after she rebukes his condolences and reproaches and outfitting her with 100% fire resistance before casting a gold statue around her in her image so he can finally have her forever and truly be the most precious thing he has.

Damn.

This is one way /xsfg/ stays alive.

And I'm completely fine with that.

Weirdposting's definitely one of the top fun things of this general.

I recognize Dolcefrey. Now comes the fun part of trying to figure out which Frey is which otherwise.

I think one of them is Arthurfrey.

>/edfg/ dies because I can't bump threads I make

From left to right, top to bottom, as best as I can fathom.
Dolfrey, Freyshnal, Frey Pai, Freon, Framber and Florica, Freythur?, Forfrey maybe, Frico Freygaret and Froug?

don't die

What weapon do you use most in RF4? On my current playthrough I'm using spears

I mostly use spears and magic myself.

Dual blades for stunlocking and fast damage output and magic for specific troublemakers.

Bianca a cute!

shortswords currently, although I used longswords for a while in earlygame cause of the damage

...

Woolies look so soft...

It really makes you wonder...

Lewd

I mostly use longswords and axes when fighting mobs, and use spears or axes against bosses.

Is this how Micah was born?

>tfw ;_;

In the context she was talking about Micah

I preferred her sister.

...

...

...

...

Cute

So the one falling over is Shoe Frey?

I'd imagine so.

...

And for some reason I'm hearing that one piece of classical music that tends to be associated with withcraft and devilry and all that other stuff, but whose name escapes me other than it's not The Sorceror's Apprentice from Fantasia

(dee-dee-dee-dee/dee-dee-dee-dee/dee-dee-dee-dee/dee-dee-dee-dee)

BUMMMMM, BUMMMMM
BUMMM BUMMMM BUMMM BUMMMMM, BUM BUMMMMM
BUM-BUM-BUM-BUM
BUM-BUM-BUM-BUMP

...

Holy Frey, Frey is everywhere.

Miku could be Frey too.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

...

...

What if all the people in the world were Freys, and all the pets were Woolies?

...

I was headed for "genepool collapse" but that works too. And with that goodnight.

Tides of Destiny has such good waifus

Shame about the farming.

So... combined?

And enough save slots to marry all of them.

Who wants to marry all 3 sisters in Tides?

...

I want to have Aden marry all the waifus in Tides. There's 15 save slots or more.

I was implying all 3 sisters at once

Should i do it.

Hug a wooly? Yes.

Yes. You should marry Forte.

Oh. Closest we get is multiple dating in RF4.

Remove that one guy? Nah.

Wha? Don't?

...

What are those things on her head? Seashlls?

Speaking of seashells, is there anything to do at the beach in 3V? Like getting pearls and shells?

Stuff washes up on shore occasionally and you can also fish there. You can also set fish traps by the reef and that's mainly what I do.

I'm going to marry this qt teacher.

...

Qt teacher or Qt maid?

difficult choice.

That's the dream of a deviant.

I'm not sure how they could be convinced to allow that.

...

>You will never gently tweak your animalgirl waifu's fluffy ears while making sweet love and push her that closer to climax

Why live in this reality?

...

...

Cool. I wonder if the twin waifus ever wander the beach.

...

valentines day is coming up in my current playthrough, is there anything i should do, especially in reagards to friendshiplevel/love? Some NPC hinted about cookies

Whip up a batch and hand 'em out to all the girlies in town, it'll be a nice LP/P boost for each one. Then do it again come White Day and hand 'em out to all the boys. Just make sure you only give out the ones YOU made as indicated by the star in the item menu since the homemade factor gives a bonus to their reaction.

ok so i just have to gift female NPCs?

Isn't it the other way around? Girls give cookies to boys on Valentine's Day and boys give cookies to girls on white day

Whoops, you're right

so is there no interaction needed on my part since i am playing male MC?

If nothing else it's fun to mess with folks by handing them out regardless of gender, and come to think of it there might even be a holiday FP/LP bonus on top of the gift bonus so it should pay off.

...

Give one to Porco

...

Looks like Dolce likes CP.
