Old Thread: >>133805150
Your waifu acute
OP says this includes Ys, LoH and EDF too, but are they actually discussed here at all?
I thought the girl in the OP pic was his mom.
>>134418462
They get mentioned every now and then, but I haven't seen a whole lot of discussion for them. Probably because they aren't similar to the usual fare this general traded in before the name change, and thus most of the people here might not have played them.
>>134418462
Occasionally, though given the origins of this general it's still rather skewed towards certain subjects and people're limited by console and taste - don't have a PS4 or Vita so I can't comment on the recent EDF and Ys games that aren't on PC. It does seem like threads are a bit more active, though, since we went through the last one in under 68 hours when it tends to take us a full week on average, so something seems to be working.
Anyway, for content: I don't know hot the fuck Falcom JDK wound up making a porn sax arrange of an Ys Origin piece, but by fucking god they did it and it fucking works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKx7lVrnElc&index=6&list=PLCBB2D3CDBF2E0AAE
Best fucking house band ever.
>>134419252
They really are. Hearing their stuff have gotten me interested to try playing music myself, most interesting instruments being saxofone and violin. I'm really bummed that I got to work on my thesis now, so I really shouldn't take on something that time-consuming.
>>134417948She sure is.
Updated version of the one I posted at the end of the last thread, I liked how it was looking so I worked on it a bit more.
Trails of Cold Steel questions:
Is it possible to end up with different heroines? If so, is it like Rune Factory or Persona where you have to constantly talk and spend time with them and ignore the other heroines, or is it an end-game decision like "Okay, who makes my dick the hardest?" Does it carry over to Cold Steel II or does it ignore your choice?
>>134422991
/r/ing Elise in cow jammies.
Or, Licorice in sunflower jammies.
>>134423827
You can pick a dance partner near the end and as far as I know, who you can pick is determined by Link exp and MAYBE some choices near the end.
So it's a mix of both choices I think.
I'm not sure, but you might get some unique dialogue in CS II depending on who you danced with.
There are some good walkthroughs that explain this better than me, I really like the one in Gamefaqs.
>never ever ever ever
>>134425302
I remember that one pic of Elise in a sling bikini.

Also, that cow print.
>>134417434
I'm a little bit proud that the thread image is a image i posted. Is this thanks to bumping?
>>134436352
Alas, I'm afraid it's just happy happenstance. I've had that one rattling around the folders for years, and though I looked briefly through the thread it happened to be the most calling picture, as I was shooting for something HM-y since the last thread was PPlC themed and the one before that Ys and the one before the MGQ edition was either RF or SOS.
Really reminds me I need to get more actual Harvest Moon stuff, though.
>level 75 or something
>50 levels above recommended
>still suck shit because I didn't know gear was a big deal until now
Also Raven doesn't sell small wool anymore, how am I supposed to grind my Crafting level outside of actually working?
Oh, and Heal is a godsend. Is the HP recovered percentage and the RP set, or is it a set for both?
>>134438313
Ah too bad. But nevertheless i'm happy. But i agree with you, i'll try to post more Harvest Moon stuff, too.
>inb4 not pure

Licorice laughs at your face.
This game is the comfiest.
Let me see if I'm right, the part whereVenti collapses after getting Spookgirl backis Act I, right?
Are pets good?
They are good and all, but right now my best pet heals fire units in the delirium lava cave because it too shoots fire. Could I mount it and absorb the fire damage?
I can't bring my waifu or any other people I sometimes bring with me because they are in an event, and I can't do the event because Doug is being a shithead depressed asshat and won't move for shit.
That Faggot.
>>134446067
The end of each arc is marked by credits.Except for the end of the 3rd arc.
>>>134446067
Are pets good?
If by pets you mean recruited monsters, they run the gamut from trash to OP juggernauts. Boss monsters are very stronk.
>>134446067
>Are pets good?
It kinda' depends on just what you nab and how much you buff it with daily gifts and food. Some of the bosses you can tame can just ruin shit like you wouldn't believe, rank and file critters not so much though they can be a nice distraction. Octopirate in particular just MURDERIZES critters if you're riding it and use its spray attack, though it's also a late-game monster.
>They are good and all, but right now my best pet heals fire units in the delirium lava cave because it too shoots fire. Could I mount it and absorb the fire damage?
IIRC monsters can divert a chunk of the damage but you still get hit with a bit of it, and any AoE stuff or status ailments will nail you as normal. And if nothing else you need a crapload of them (50, technically) for one of the last requests so it doesn't hurt to try and grab some from each area as you go on.
>>134445195
Center girl best girl.
Is her name Maria or Mary?
>>134438452
>Also Raven doesn't sell small wool anymore, how am I supposed to grind my Crafting level outside of actually working?
Upgrade your crap. It's infinitely more effective than actually crafting stuff. Food (which includes crops) are better than mats and grass as far as upgrading goes. Seeds might count in that category. Then sell the upgraded thing in your shop for dosh and happy merchant xp.
Also, I think the things Raven sells changes every day. Same thing with Arthur.
>>134446067
>Are pets good?
They can be really great. Go get Ambrosia, she will reck, and you can ride her. Remember that if you feed pets mats, they get a permanent boost that is the same as if you were upgrading gear (though you can only do it once a day). You can eventually get a pet that is immune to all status effects and absorbs all elemental damage. Also, they gain levels even in the barn, so that's nice.
>>134452203
Do the upgraded stuff get more expensive even when you don't actually improve them?
Nice, I'll get to upgrading the bazillion rank 1 swords and other shit I have.
>>134450163
It's Mary. Maria was the church girl from the snes HM.
>>134452467
Yah, the base price automatically rises per level. I think lvl 10 items are 2x the base price of the lvl 1 item. Also, if you sell stuff in the shop (as opposed to shipping it) the bottom sell price increases by the price of the items used to upgrade it. (I say bottom sell price because there is a multiplier (RNG I think, like everything else in the game) based on your happy merchant level, and you also get abilities as you level it up that can increase the money you get). You can eventually get bs like pic related.
>>134452467
Yep, value is basically a sliding scale between 100% and 200% or so of the original value: you can have a 1000+ ATK broadsword that's worth a few hundred bucks and a Grand Smasher ruined with shitty mats that sells for a hundred times its superior.
>>134453441
>>134453570
I think you can get a little more :v)
I'll try it out, thanks.I'll be sure to get some nice ring for Forte with that money
>look at backpack
>bado's face is in there
>he went outside the map
>he doesn't appear now
>he's just there, not moving in the minimap
BADO NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING
At least he can sell the secret to flight. Should I reset or something?
>>134453752
No, guys, I'm pretty spooked. Bado's outside the map, and so was Nancy, but she was close enough I could call her as my companion then dismiss her.
Bado's out in the... Oh, he's back on ground now for some reason.
Man, this game is pretty buggy. The other day Lin Fa or Xiao spoke in Jap, and I've heard SRing can fuck up your saves.
>>134455646
I thought it was only Meg who accidentally spoke in Japanese (she says "Forte").
As for soft resetting, yeah, even xseeddude said it was bad for the game. Quitting and reloading best.
>>134422991
I've just cqame back from work and nwhat a pleasant surprise is what I found. is not just one pic, better yet 2 PICS!
Mistress Trupin might give you her blessing, anon.
>>134459528
Glad you like them anon! She's pretty fun to draw.
>>134459832
Rest now anon. you deserve it. (also how is she fun to draw?)
>>134460119
I'll never rest.
Also her design fits the things I like to draw the most, cute girls in big dresses, with nice little details on the outfit.
>>134460313
>cute girls in big dresses, with nice little details on the outfit.
and I though I was the only degenerated that liked that sort of stuff.
>>134460658
>>134462649
Sadly Dolce produces all the exact oposite to me. and I don't know why.
>>134455646
Never had a problem with soft resetting in RF4 myself and I've done it pretty frequently, but this happened to me in RF3. Shara just showed up untextured until I slept in game.
>>134470018
You can soft reset a DS game?
>>134470018
I had a similar happenstance in 4 where the world turned into static, numbers and dolce was entirely valve missing texture purple for a bit.
It fixed itself promptly, but the little bit it was like that was freaky.
>>134473997
Yes.
I'm not telling you how to do it though.
>>134317123
I'm surprised no one's made an Amber "Vomit-chan" edit with her barfing up honey...
>>134475290
That's OK. Google can anyway.
>>134473997
Since RF3 didn't really have the RNG dependency that RF4 has or the extortionate rates Jones charges, I never even tried soft resetting in 3.
That glitch just happened when I loaded up the game normally once, so not sure if there's an easy way to soft reset in that game.
>>134475647
Then why didn't you do that in the first place?That's what I did.
>>134479093
I never thought of googling "soft reset DS" before you brought it up though.
>>134477396
That's one thing that makes RF3 better (somewhat) than RF4 -- no RNG dependency. I don't have to wait for the event where Karinawants to move to the cityto randomly pop up, for example.
So how is Return to Popolocrois? I loved RF4, got kinda bored eventually with SoS, and loved Fantasy Life for what that's worth.
>>134480554
It's your standard RPG. It's not going to rock your world, but it's a good game.

>>134487319
There's an order to take hats back. I haven't tried it yet.
When and how do you get the order to merge cooking tools again?
Rue is such a cute girl.
Is there any penalty for letting your livestock starve in PopoLoQoWoRoToYoSoDoFoGoHoJoKoZoCoVoBoNoMoCrois?
Rune Factory IV was my first RPG/farm/date thing. It was great. Stardew Valley's release reminded me of it.
Rune Factory 5 when?
Are any other RPG/farm/date things as good as RF4?
>>134496882
>Rune Factory 5 when?
Who knows? Hopefully soon.
>Are any other RPG/farm/date things as good as RF4?
Try RF3 if you haven't already.
>>134497095
>Try RF3 if you haven't already.
I might just replay RF4, it's been awhile. There's SDV now too.
I really don't know what compelled me to try RF4. I remember being curious about the genre, but very reluctant. I'm glad I did, though... planning, fertilizing, planting, watering, shipping and all that were far more involving and satisfying than I ever would have thought.
>Return to PoPoLoCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale
Is this more regular RPG than farming simulator?
>>134502884
Yeah, it's more of an RPG.
Playing Harvest Moon DS as my first Harvest Moon and I'm having lots offun
>Official/in-game art has steel/cream hair and grey eyes
>Fanart's all over the place on hair and eye hues and colors
What causes this, I wonder? What makes an artist pore over references and go "Mmmmmmm, maybe I'll give her strawberry hair and topaz eyes instead"? Styles and outfits you can kinda' waver on, this not so much and artist insist.
>>134510838
And since that wasn't the best of deadline-racing images for an example...
>>134506721
Cats sleep an average of 16 hours a day. That's nothing.

>>134515154
>That's nothing... compared to a certain sleepyhead
>>134510838
>steel/gray
>grey eyes
She has pink hair and brown eyes ingame and in official art.. I guess sometimes the shades of hair/eye color is brighter in fanart but it's still pink and brown
>>134520034
I agree with the brown eyes but her hair definitely seems to be more of a creamy brown with a tiny bit of pink.
I like Shiny Dolce better (black hair and blue eyes).
>>134522234
>>134522361
Shiny Clorica makes me think of a rabbit.
>>134522361
Shiny Amber doesn't look as good as regular Amber.
>>134522768
Probably because of the red eyes + two white long things on her head.
Do rabbits sleep a lot?
>never ever ever ever
>>134520034
>>134520709
I'd say that's bleedoff from her outfit filling the void left by her hair's very faint coloration: definately creamy, though maybe more of a *very* pale almond or apricot if colors have to be given. Her eyes are more of a gunmetal grey, though, which is just as well given how suited they are for cutting through bollocks with but a glance.
>>134526908
>how suited they are for cutting through bollocks with but a glance.
>>134526908
They're not even close to being gunmetal. Do you need to get your eyes checked, anon?
>ywn get to customize you're waifu
>>134531435
How would customizing other characters work?
>>134531435
Who're they?
>>134532749
>>134531435
You can (kind of) customize in Tides, and their portraits (also 3D models) change accordingly. But they were the same outfits otherwise every day.
RF4 you can change some accessories, but that's about it.
Remember when that one anon was posting pics of the 3D models? I wish they would've posted a pic of Pico's model.
>>134533427
With RF4, I meant just on the sprites. Portraits don't change.
>>134445195
Damn, that brings back a lot of memories.
I remember bringing Karen wine every single day. Even after we were married, I kept a stockpile of bottles and visited her every day at the store. Popping the question to her with that blue feather was the happiest moment of my tiny, digital farming life.
>>134532749
You could give them clothes/armor and they would wear it. That would be the easiest way.
>>134531435
Left to right:
Odette (Tides), Cinnamon (RFF), Lara? (RF1)
Last one is hard to tell since her eyes are closed, but that hair style, color, and length look like her.
>>134534805
>Odette
She doesn't have that one scar.
>>134534805
The hair looks pink rather than blue so I don't think it could be Odette.
>>134534503
It's interesting how it stays in your heart, right? It's been 16 years since i played the HM snes and i still remember how happy i was when i gave Maria the blue feather.
But BTN still holds the number 1 place in my heart.
>>134534503
She looks like the child of Arin Hanson and Suzy.
Finally finished the main story of Story of Seasons. Gonna start my playthrough on Magical Melody.

Nice to see some HM art for a change.
That Elise cow thing all started from a simple question (that in May will have been asked a year ago):
"Which bachelorette would you dress up like a cow and do in your barn?"
>>134548304
So instead of a cow it would a wooly for the RF series?
>>134549387
There's cow-like monsters in RF though. Buffamoos, I think.
How was Lord of Magna? I never got around to playing it.
>>134550195
Mediocre. Not enough game there and it really needs a sequel to build on what they have.
>>134550453
>Not enough game there
Was there just not enough to do, or was the gameplay itself lacking in some way?
>>134550612
Both. Gameplay is kind of neat at first, but gets boring rather quickly and the boss fights are pretty bad.
>>134551045
>the boss fights are pretty bad
Not that anon but how are they bad? Too easy?
>>134536913
>>134537159
>what is fanart
>what is artistic license
Definitely Odette. She's the only one with that mix of approximate hairstyle, eye color, and hair color.
Just started playing Rune Factory 4, im a few hours in and i just have a ton of stuff in my chest. Lots of scrap metal, iron, amethyst, and random drops from slaying monsters.
What do i do with all of this, do i just ship it all out to sell or do i craft armor/weapons etc and sell it? I'm finding myself low on cash most of the time.
>>134541073
Well now I'll hate Karen forever, thank you anon.
>>134557386
You're always going to be wanting to upgrade things so it's best to just hoard stuff. If you really feel that you're low on money you could always make some food from the crops that you grow and sell those.

Kind of? Elise is more of an Ojou-sama type though. Since she even has an ohohoho laugh and all.
>>134563413
>Dolce with an ohohoho laugh
I think I'd like to see that.
>>134563413
She does seem chronically annoyed (at least in fanart), and she dresses nice.
>>134569030
Too bad there's no ghosts in SoS (that I know of).
>>134572779
Does Pico mean "little" in Italian?
It vaguely sounds like "pequeño," which means "little."
>>134559510
Did you plant them in the same field as all five mammoths?
>>134573750
Pico is so small that it means 1 trillionth / 0.000000000001
Closest word that it comes from is a Spanish word for "peak", which is also one of the words for "lips".
>>134543225
Most definitely Jamie. I hate that you can marry them but they're still a 'can't have'.
I'm replaying it myself just on Spring 10th, and I'll probably settle for Dia.
>>134574372
Oh yeah, the game ends if you marry them doesn't it?
>>134574372
"Jamie was a boy! / Jamie was a girl!"

It's certainly an interesting bad end.
http://therunefactory.wikia.com/wiki/Pico
A discussion over in the wiki claims that Pico and Dolce wereboth alive before Dolce became a guardian.
Who should I marry in HM:DS. Was gonna marry the Witch Princess but it's glitched in my game.
>>134576429
leia
>>134576574
But to win her heart you mustRemove Giorgio.
>>134576171
Isn't that singlehandedly disproved by Dolce's marriage event and when Luna is born?
>>134576171
>>134577252
Which is wrong as heck, as Pico gets an entire scene in Dolce's marriage explaining about why Dolce is so incredibly important to her to the point of obsession.She'd been dead and hanging around town for hundreds of years before Dolce was born, to the point where she couldn't even remember how she died in the first place. Dolce was literally the first thing she had ever felt after all that time, and she got hooked and hooked bad, thus forcing herself on the tyke as adopted sibling.
>>134576171
Another reason why this is false is because Marionetta was her own person, fixated on keeping people who are close to her around forever by painting them. Her ghost / doll she haunted was the monster that carried on her name before Dolce and Pico went there to "confront" it.
The Ghost Ray is also probably the insane person who killed her, as written in the diary you can come across the first time you go in to rescue Dolce. The murder is mentioned, then the ink turns red as they get increasingly unhinged - the only area it spawns in Obsidian Manor is, fittingly enough, the hall right outside the boss chamber that Marionetta resides in.
The only mystery really left iswhy Dolly's ears are pointy
>>134574161
Nope, but the wiki says it applies to all of the fields, the leased ones included, like the double water edit combo.
My burdocks on the leased root field wilted too. That was half my precious 5* seed stock. Really strange.
>>134579556
Are all the mammoths on the same field though? It's often stupid crap like that that screws you.
Just started playing Frontier and I want to marry Eunice. Is there any way to keep her fat or is the diet an essential part of her story?
>>134580149
Yep, they are.
They're only supposed to work on the farm and not on the leased fields?
>>134580383
She'll ask you about her weight and you can keep her chubby
No swimsuit though
>>134579524
>Marionetta was her own person
That's new to me.
>>134577520
>>134577252
I'm in the elf event right now, so it may be awhile before I can see the Dolce event for myself.
>>134581231
>No swimsuit though
Oh fuck. Decisions, decisions.
>>134586158
Ultimately, her losing weight is better for her self-esteem. She becomes happier after going thin.
>>134581231
I always thought those strips were thread one-offs, not that someone on Pixiv was actually cranking them out across the whole franchise. Neat.
>>134590056
I wonder if Clorica leaves her hair like that all the time.
>>134590056
When did Clorica become so popular? Last time I visited /rfhmg/ it seemed like she was pretty much the least popular RF4 bachelorette, but since I've come back she's been all over. Not that I'm complaining, but is my memory bad or what?
>>134590802
She became the default thread bump girl for a bit before DolceAnon took over bumping.And I love her.
>>134590802
Before Dolcebumpanon, there were Clorica bump images.
Also, I guess it's how she's all warm and cuddly like a cat or sheepgirlor something.
>>134591364
That's it, she's just like this fluffy cloud that comes rolling through, warm and tranquilizing and leaving everything in her wake in a pleasant melting stupor..

Gotta get her started on good habits now. If she's fat here, when you marry her she'll go full landwhale.
>>134492510
>Is there any penalty for letting your livestock starve in PopoLoNiggers
Anyone? Keeping my feed bin stocked is a pain. I rarely bothered in RF4.
>>134592938
But she's cute this way. I don't think there are any other real chubby HM/RF bachelorettes.

Fucking Hashimoto half-assing the child birth scene. Up until Animal Parade this wasn't the case. Makes me wonder if he ever attended to his wife while she was in labor (if he did have a wife). Really puts me off to be honest.

She looks annoyed. More than usual.
"So why DOES Pico talk in quotes anyway?"
>>134623031
In a lot of ways she's Dolce's emotional and humanist surrogate, an outlet for things she's too reserved to admit herself. Basically, a lot of what she says is her quoting Dolce's inner thoughts, though just how exact the words actually are compared to what flashes through Dolce's mind is up for debate.
>>134623775
I thought it was to convey a sort of echoed speech, but then again, you don't hear an echo in Pico's spoken lines.
>>134615260
>say/do something in a public restaurant
>there's a guy three yards away just chillin'
>it's a secret

>>134622285
Maybe pointy ears are more sensative? Could also just be the fact that Lest is probably being very forward to her in public.
>>134623775
But that would mean Pico never speaks for herself.
Y'know, an interesting and lewd implication bubbled up after last night's little Pico x Dolce history talk: ghosts are by and large incorporeal, at most only being able to interact with objects for a short time like poltergeists. Dolce mentions as such during one of her daily conversations, that Pico basically memorizes any outfit Dolce makes for her and changes her appearance accordingly since she can't actually wear it directly. And if she can't wear an outfit Dolce makes for her, to that end she probably can't touch Dolce's outfit, either, since Dolce basically made it as well.
No wonder Pico's such a little sex maniac and Dolce is annoyed with her so: literally all of Pico's physical interactions with Dolce are her phasing through Dolce's clothes and copping a feel, in a manner of speaking.
>>134630910
Thus non-absolute "lot of ways" and "by and large" modifiers: she can speak for herself well enough, but she *is* a marionette tied to Dolce, though not under her control. Also, it's a nice subtle way of enforcing that she's a ghost, the echo of her former living self in a way like >>134623885 mentioned (as opposed to Eliza, who's just as much a non-traditional entity but doesn't get any text modifiers to play at such).

Cute Amber! Where did you find this? I don't think I've seen any HM/RF characters with that cut-hole sweater thing before now.

Up on pixiv, everything's tagged and saved numerically in their system so you can find a work easily as long as you've got the number and the artist hasn't wiped it, though you'll probably need to make an account to view things. Like so:

This was also right above it in that set.

Yeah, quick and dirty hackjob of another piece with a resize and color drop for optimization. Simple, but hopefully gets the job done.
>>134653180
This reminds me of my hope that some bachelorettes in future titles will be more asserting about pursuing marriage (or in a timely manner, as opposed to the long ordeil as I've heard it from SoS). Rune Factory 4 did it pretty well withXiao Pai, but both Forte and Dolce could've made it work given how their events go: Forte as the act of pledging herself to you as your protector, Dolce as that last act of really letting her true feelings through and allowing herself to get well and truly close to other people.
>>134655916
Yeah, would've been interesting if the other bachelorettes had reverse proposals too.
>>134655916
Yeah, i agree with you! I really liked how immersive RF4 was, but i would really like to see something like this in future titles. An idea would be that, depending on your actions, different girls would start to talk to you, making gifts or something. A lot of HM games feel really stale, so a little optimization in the direction of RF4 would do the trick. What do you think?

>>134656469
She looks like Mist.
>>134656469
It would be interesting, but it'd also have to be carefully tuned such that the player still has a sense of control about what's going on: Someone who isn't really interested in Amber from RF4 or Popuri from the more central HM games, for example, might not be comfortable with them advancing the relationship on their own because the player tripped certain conditions during earlier events, perhaps because the necessary choices were the nicer/right things to do. Mutual reciprocations of escalation, with each feeding into the other, eventually hitting a tipping point (ie, the marriage event) if the chain is long enough.
Though another element to be considered is that some people are just not the type to take that last step of their own accord and need that nudge from the player. Xiao Pai, Dolce and Forte are certainly of the type to go for it, butClorica's whole marriage event is about her learning she can't control everything in their relationship (though it could be framed as that she's got your ring ready and she's just waiting for hers, thus a mutual decision of engagement); Margaret, though her event's about finally getting over loss and the potential thereof, gets flustered and overwhelmed by extreme openness and needs a partner's emotional steadiness for support; and Amber...well, it's debatable just how well she really understands the implications of marriage before you pop the question.
>>134670389
I wonder how a Forte or Dolce reverse proposal would go down.

How do I get some good ol' nice Withered Grass?
I need to keep some stuff alive.
>>134679569
Fuck, forgot to remove trip.
>>134679569
Corn works well too. But if no corn for sale (and if it is but isn't sold at the moment, save quit and reload until it is), that giant chicken cave to the south usually has some.
>>134679569
Which game? I'm assuming RF4, in which case if you aren't using out-of-town fields you could try making the cycle of them and snatch up any grass you find, or alternatively ship one and hope Arthur stocks it. Jones may as well in addition to other grass types, though I'm not 100% sure.
>>134680050
Yep, that's good enough.
>>134680239
Yeah, I haven't been using them, I should probably clean 'em up every now and then for free stuff.
>>134680050
>>134680517
Corn is better than withered grass.
>>134682590
I figured, but I didn't have Corn for sale and it was pretty urgent - Mid typhoon on a 10 HP or something tree.
It's also cheaper

So that's a taste of what the multiplier can do. It wasn't even improved, I just put it in there after I won it.
>>134683453
Sometimes you get drops and such that are already improved somewhat with random stuff. You can get really lucky selling that stuff.
>>134684620
No, I mean, it was Rank 1, no nothing.
Even if it was rank 10, it would've sold for about 500 or something.sometimes I just sit there and try to sell my 30 or so stacks of yarn
