I think I’m screwed 😭

So I’m playing RF4S and I’m trying to go after Margaret. I’ve done all of her pre marriage events and now I just need to do “Being Here”. The thing is.. I accidentally turned her down without realizing when she asked to go to the lake to find the siren and saved over it. I have no saves before then and think I’m locked out of it since she won’t say any other voice lines. Any way to cheat my way out of the stuck position I’m in or am I just boned?

Is there a way to cheese Rune Prana?

Because I am not spending hours just to grind to Level 676767676767 on forging and crafting just to be able get the proper gear and risk wasting time going a scavenger hunt for rare items. I do not have the time or motivation for that and I also want to play other games and not be anchored on this I do like RF4 but I also want to play other games to including other Rune Factory games sometimes you get at a point when you play games so many times you enjoy but you want to play other things to.

I tried a method which involved taming a dark fairy and another monster at Sharance Maze however l was not able to Tame the dark fairy with the love potion or the items I tossed at it and I had to spend time warping back and going to Sharance Maze just to get a room with a dark fairy It also mentioned getting the talisman but my crafting is under leveled and I don't want to do town event RNG.

I could understand why so many people stop playing after this part but I can't just leave Venti there I will finish this part and I have to lower the difficulty or even cheat just say it and don't waste my time. Rune Prana is genuinely the worst part of the game to a point of knocking my overall opinion of this game say what you want about GoA being too easy and I do think that is problem too but I'd rather deal with than being constantly frustrated at Rune Prana. So just get straight to the point I just want to finish this part and also need to get past the mage room.

Is Guardians of Azuma worth playing?

I grew up playing some of the RF games. Haven't played all of them but RF Frontier for the wii was my first one and I remember getting addicted. Then I bought 3 and 4 for the 3ds and loved them.

After that I bought 5 on release for the switch and I hated it. It just felt so empty compared to the other games and I feel like it didn't have the same charm. The performance was also awful. Because of that, I stopped following the series for a bit.

So now I'm interested in getting back to it but I haven't looked into Guardians of Azuma much. How is it for you guys? did you guys like it? or is it also not great? Pros/Cons?

I play on PC (gaming laptop) nowadays.

Pilika keychain my friend made for me!

My friend’s gotten super into making and decorating photocard keychains and knot tying recently so I asked her to make one with my favourite RF character :D She let me decorate the outside w/ sticker and pick the charms (and you can’t see it in the pic but there’s a tiny bear sticker in the bottom right corner :3).

Really wish we had more offical merch outside of Japan but even with GoA’s popularity it’s still tough to find stuff so last resort is making our own hahaha

If I ship upgraded seeds will the general store sell them?

I know this from the older RF games so I was wondering if I can do it in this game as well

Predictions or hopes for marriage candidates in Rune Factory 6?

Looking at how they brought back Hina as a grown marriage candidate in GoA, I'm wondering if they're going to bring back Julian as well. Do you think 6 will be set in a similar timeframe as that game or do you think they're going to jump forwards in time again and maybe have Suzu as an adult? I'd be interested if anyone thinks similar or has ideas for the likely candidates?

The second question is what kind of candidates you'd like to see. Personally, I'd love a bachelor with short curly hair who has a 'get-past-the-cold-barrier' or a loud mage bachelor rather than having the scholarly characters quiet and serious all the time. And a fat bachelorette would be nice for some variety. What would be your ideal character archetypes they could include?

What am I Missing

The only thing I haven't cleared yet are the 4 trial gates after main story completion. I'm not a good fighter (which is why I keep it on story mode). But damn, it's hard. (Yeah, noob, I know.) Does this have something to do with that?

SoS: Mineral Town, Rune Factory 3 or Stardew

Hi All,

Going on a long vacation with my Steam Deck and looking to play a cozy game along with RDR2, Guild Wars 1, and probably a roguelite. I am bouncing back and forth between Stardew, Rune Factory 3 (the supposed shorter length is appealing) and Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town.

Of these the which is the most fun to play while also not feeling too stressful with in game calendars and such? I have never really played one of these games at length.

Thanks!

With the whole digital only thing, Rune Factory 7 and Up wont have collectors editions..

Let's hope XSeed continues to go with the fans and keep pushing physical:)

Regarding mounted combat with Nine-Tails

Hi all! new player here! I just saw a clip of Kaguya riding the Nine-Tails and I am completely obsessed. She looks so elegant, and the Nine-Tails itself is incredibly cool!

It got me wondering—how viable is mounted combat in Guardians of Azuma? My absolute dream is to ride into battle on the back of my Nine-Tails. I'm currently playing on Normal difficulty. Is this a realistic playstyle? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Next year No more Tides of Destiny on PS3...

Better get it digitally on your system before PS3 Eshop closes down in 2027, that or get lucky on finding it in your local game stores :) itll be as scarce as Frontier.

Questions on Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma - never played Rune Factory before

Never played a RF game before but always had an eye on them. Now I am looking forward to buy GoA but I have some questions left that maybe some experienced fans can answer. I ll plan to buy and play it on PS5 pro.

  • How does it run on PS5 and how are the controls? Anything to be aware of?
  • Are trophies in GoA missable in case I d like to go for platinum? Can you go on after the credits roll or is there a hard cut-off?
  • Anything I should know or be aware of before I start? I ve been reading that there are some key decisions to be made and I am always afraid to be locked out of stuff.

Would appreciate any feedback and thanks in advance!

Rune factory 4 or guardians of azuma?

Just to preface, I have both. I've played guardians of azuma before but never got around to finishing it, so im thinking of starting a new save. Of course, I also recently got RF 4 on the summer sale and now cant decide which one I want to do first

Edit: I never got around to finishing GoA not because I didnt like it (quite the contrary), but because I just didnt feel like gaming whatsover and lost the drive

Which Rune Factory game would you like to have a Special Edition?

I'd really love a remake of Rune Factory 1 ('ve just picked up a copy of Rune Factory 2 so I'm going to try it and see) but which one do you guys think would benefit most from it? What would you change/fix in your chosen game?

Am I able to play this version of Rune factory 2 in English?

I recently bought this copy off eBay and no where in the description did it say it was in German. Should I be asking for my money back or is there a way for it to be in English
