Rune Factory 4 [Part 1 - Animenesia]

Tips, Tricks

1. I just found my direction for this game late last month after having the game for a year. There are just so many things to do in this game and we are given so much free will I was very lost at first. I'm glad you're doing an LP for this amazing game! It'll be fun watching how other people play it.
2. Dammit now I want to go back to Rune Factory 4 I only got I think about half way through when I played. Hopefully it won't be too hard to get back in the swing of things.
3. rune factory four ALRIGHT! anime bullshit AWAAAAY!
4. Pubert.
   
   PUBERT.
   
   PUUUBERRRT!
   
   PUUUUUBERRRRRRRT!!!
5. 666 views oh shit, wrong timing
6. Rune factory tides of darkness you don't get amnesia.. well not in the normal sense.. you go through time, so you end up basically with amnesia, but you still remember who you are.
7. In Rune Factory 2, you choose the gender for the second half of game...
8. It begins! I've been waiting so long for this! YES!
   
   Also, to Travis around 5 minutes in, your father DOES show up in one Pokemon game; he's the leader of Petalburg Gym in Hoenn in AR/OS/R/S/E generation.
9. I am super happy that you guys are doing this game!!😀
10. Every time you start a new Let's Play like this I get a compulsive need to drop all of my projects, find my copy and binge play. Thank you for reminding me I had Rune Factory 4.
11. What would happen if you named yourself Arthur?
12. And So Begins the anime farming adventures of Pubert. This will be a wild ride.
13. damn, this is making me want to pick up this game again. can't remember where on earth i left off, though
14. I'm liking where this is going already
15. Oh shit, I didn't expect you to LP this after the twitch stream. Well, good on you! =D
16. It's bizarre. I actually started playing this again out of nowhere a few days ago (my old save didn't make it during my move to my new 3DS system, so I had to start from scratch). Got a random golden cabbage in a random chest on the first day and felt like it was a sign I was meant to do a replay. I don't think I did everything I could in the game my first go around anyway.
    
    And now you're playing it too! May the chest RNG gods be kind to you too (starting off with a tidy sum was very helpful xD).
17. "The worst" farm in french should be "LA pire" farm (or ferme if you you want to make it all in french)
18. I'm really surprised player avatar-style protagonists have lasted as long as they have.
19. I'm pretty sure they're just taking advantage of Pubert to have someone farm for them.
20. 2:21 - This isn't the first Rune Factory to allow you to pick a female playable character, Rune Factory 2 also had you choosing between a male and female playable character by choosing whether you wanted to have a male kid or a female kid after getting your first character's wife (whoever you ended up marrying) pregnant. The majority of RF2 proper is played as the first player character's child. This is the first Rune Factory game to give you the choice from the beginning to play as a female character, though.
    
    3:34 - I think they start lampshading the whole "amnesia" thing in Rune Factory 3 with how ridiculous it to have great warrior-farmers show up consistently with amnesia. Apparently the only ones not to get amnesia are Aden and Sonja, the player characters of Tides of Destiny. (They have their own problem, that being only having one body)
    
    20:45 - Stats for everything is very much a thing in later Rune Factory games. I think it was Rune Factory 3 that started really going overboard with it, and it's stayed that way since.
