Previous Thread:
>>146617952
Here's a screencap of Dessie for the anon that requested it.
She walks around her spring all day and that's where this was taken. Off the screen and to the right is a river and waterfall.
I think last thread may have been too comfy.
>>146715402
>Someone ported XSEED's translation of Ys: Memories of Celceta to the Chinese PC version:
Neato. I'm guessing the mega link is the full game?
>>146717090
I believe so. Haven't played it myself, but that's the link that was posted around /v/ a while back.
TWIN BROWN WAIFUS
>>146717476
This man here is Ludeus. If you played SoS then just know that he's the Gunther of this game. He doesn't sell the stone or lumber, but he will build whatever you need if you have it.
He also gives you the hammer tool.
Upgraded my house and got a dog.
Just like in SoS when you decide to build a big project for the first time it'll cut to a montage of you building it with some help.
>>146716356
I guess it attracted the ire of Schmoolies after all.
>>146719397
Can you choose what town to live in like in ToTT?
>>146717476
>>146717720
hot
>>146715910
Thanks!
>>146720083
>Can you choose what town to live in like in ToTT?
No. You live on a farm away from all three villages, but there's a path to them as soon as you exit your farm.
>>146720268
So what kind of architecture does the town of the Twin Brown Waifus have?
Does anyone know what purpose all these have in the game? There's tons of them under the name "PictureStoryShow"
>>146720730
It's a tropical village/ jungle village.
This here is the second screen of the village. The one before it is a line of shops by the beach.
>>146720931
Maybe something Woofio is involved in?
>>146721205
Cool.
Is there a beach and do characters wear swimsuits?
>>146721531
There is a beach, but so far no signs of swimsuits. What they wear is pretty close to swimsuits already though.
>>146721780
>pretty close to simwsuits already though
nope.Has there ever been an HM with swimsuits and beach days, or is that an RF thing?
>page 10
>>146722138
I don't think I've seen swimsuits in HM yet.
>>146724070
There was that swimming contest in HM64.It's a sausage fest though.
Dog
>>146721459
Maybe. Here's one from the third set.
Question to any anons playing 3V: how do you think it compares to SoS?
Sundays are really slow for this thread.
>>146739672
Is that by that one artist who drew that "Wolf Shino wants to battle" pic?
>>146740447
I think so, looks like the same style
If there's never going to be another Rune Factory, at least the last one was arguably the best one.
>>146729554
What a happy looking sausage beast
>>146742365
Yep. That's true.
Does anyone else here actually use the wooly suit?
>>146748709
Not really. I mainly use one of the recolours for the default outfit.
>Hot and humid as fuck last night with rain on and off all night long
>Today's going to be even hotter and just as humid with all the rainwater evaporating
Something tells me this is going to be an awful week.
>>146758287
>A/C freezes every now and then
>have to turn it off completely for an hour or else it wont work.
I wish I lived somewhere cooler.
Has it been 100% confirmed we can't have fox kids yet?
I still want to hope.
>>146762728
I hold onto the slim chance that it was either a mistranslation or that the Big Cheese of whatever pantheon rules over the SoS world will come down and give their blessing, because lord knows there's so much stuff of sweet foxgirl action and so many guys (and chicks!) that've partaken of it that it'd be downright madness for them to pass up this opportunity.
Pets are nice in these games, I always enjoy being a rancher more than a farmer for some reason.
Everyone wants to wear Dolce's clothes.
>>146772658
While Dolce is also wearing them, I bet.
Slow day again.
Don't die, /xsfg/.
>>146779013
That's a pretty small planet both of them have to share.yeah I know it's a giant melon.
>>146784338
And for some reason I'm hearing the breakdown scene from Stimpy's Fan Club:
I... I was nice today, nice to all those insipid little monkeys, answering all their stupid letters!
My hands... dirty! The dirt won't come off!
President. What a joke, president... president of what? Her fan club! How they love her!
Look at her lying there asleep!
The idol of millions! She's a fool, a lying, silly little fool!
How easily I could end the farce! With these hands, these dirty hands!
And with these hands I hold the fate of millions!
They think she's a god, but she's as mortal as we! I know!
Just one quick twist! And it's over, just one!
>>146786746
Dolce can't kill what's already dead.Western cartoons today just aren't what they used to be.
>>146786746
This was a kids show right? It sounds like something from Edgar Allan Poe
>>146788093
>Dolce can't kill what's already dead.
When's that stopped her from trying?
>>146789002
>This was a kids show right?
I wouldn't consider it that but it was back when adult cartoon programs really weren't known outside of a couple of movies in the 70's and 80's but yeah its as adult as a kid's show can be seeing as the creators really pushed the envelope in what they could get past the censors.
>>146789002
Only about the greatest display of censor bypassing and deranged animation in a "kid's" show ever. Here's the episode in particular, and that specific sequence starts at about 13:30
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3ihanu
>page 10
>>146794738
>that Melanie
>>146789679
Oh, that's going to work SO well, I'm sure.
>>146792130
Here's the inside of the your house after the first upgrade. There's now a closet to the left just like in SoS.
>tfw it's so hot this is all you've worn at home today and suddenly the UPS truck pulls up
>>146802801
>wearing clothes at home
>finally deleted the virus in my SD card
>can now go back to playing RF4
Sad that I'm going to need a new savefile, but at least I know what I'm doing now.
Or I could beat the first arc, get some dope-ass armor over the years and speed through 2 and 3 when I feel like it.
>>146810364
That's an awfully large image considering the level of detail.
It's still good.
>>146813148
How did you manage to get a virus on the SD card you use for a 3DS?
>>146814898
IIRC when he first relayed the story he said it was picked up at a printing place through a flash drive, passed to his PC and from the PC to the SD card. Common weakest link infection.
>>146814898
PC was infected, used card on PC to pass over a game and it got virused.
>>146815327
>>146815331
Moral of the Story: Always use protection else you're waifu gets trashed.
>>146815327
>picked up at a printing place through a flash drive,
True evil
>>146815327
>someone actually remembered the story
Damn.
Considering those boxes are probably designed for some level of preservation I bet it's actually pretty comfy in there during hotter weather.
>>146815327
What country was that in?
>>146818432
Or even when other things heat up.
>>146813148
I speed through Arc 1 within the first spring, spend summer and fall romancing bachelorette/Raising skills and then do arc 2 in the first winter because I am efficient to the point of insanity
Just finished chapter 3 in rf4, and have already done the first layer of the maze before that. What's left to do content wise?
>>146822184
If you made it to the end ofRune Pranaand rescuedVenti,then you're done with the game.
>>146822392
Well, i guess finding that axe with 12k dmg made the last push ezpz. RIP.
>>146819314
If you don't wantthe 2nd arc to start, don't pick the 2nd option when talking to Venti. If you already did, too late.
>>146823047
I know how to avoid the second arc, I just like to finish the main game within the first year because it plays out sort of like a mix of a slice of life/adventure anime with a heavier focus on the slice of life aspect in the middle and it's most fitting to do the second arc during winter
What do you think is the worst HM?That's actually part of the real series and not post ANB, that is?
>>146825448
Also, what do you think is the best HM?
>>146825448
Of all the ones I've played, I'm least fond of AWL, personally. I've heard it has some of the best character developments, but everything just felt like a huge chore to do so I never got very far with it..
>>146825792
I'm a big fan of SoS, but I'm feeling real good about 3v.
Anon who got SoS last thread here, got a few questions
-can you get more stamina hearts or just better food/tools?
-upgraded tools just affect stamina used?
-can I see how effective a food will be when eating?
-food ever goes bad or just goes from fresh to regular?
-anything to do with bugs besides selling?
-talking to villagers daily raises friendship or just giving gifts works?
-is there a good way to see villagers friendship like you can do for Animals? Or just the shitty emote when pressing L?
-is there character development or can I expect this spoiled cunt to stay the same?
>>146826238
>-can you get more stamina hearts or just better food/tools?
Only better tools. You can also make accessories for your character that restore stamina over time.
>-upgraded tools just affect stamina used?
It's been a while since I played, but I think better tools get the job done quicker.
>-can I see how effective a food will be when eating?
No
>-food ever goes bad or just goes from fresh to regular?
Never goes bad.
>-anything to do with bugs besides selling?
Not really. Bees are useful, but everything else isn't
>-talking to villagers daily raises friendship or just giving gifts works?
Both. Also participating in festivals raises it quite a bit.
>-is there a good way to see villagers friendship like you can do for Animals? Or just the shitty emote when pressing L?
Since you're playing as a boy the girls will have a flower next to their name when you speak to them. Color of flower is the friendship level.
>-is there character development or can I expect this spoiled cunt to stay the same?She gets the most. You're going to love it.
>>146826820
Thanks for the answers. I was tending towards the bland ones like lillie or iris but I'll see how she changes.
I had a few more questions after reading the pastebin but I'm sleepy and on mobile, so I'll ask tomorrow.
>>146832125
No.
>>146832125
Give people reasons to post in there instead of just spamming in every general. That just bumps your down further.
>>146832405
I missed whatever that was and have no idea what they said.
>>146832993
They wanted people to bump of their version of a certain general because they didn't like the other version.
>>146833584People still care about Stardew Valley?
>>146827517
>iris
>bland
fite me fgt.
>>146834417
No, it wasn't that one.
>>146826186
Do you think it's the best in the series so far?
>>146836296
I need to spend more time with it, but it's looking real good right now. Not without it's flaws, but it's a real enjoyable game
So I just started Story of Seasons after getting stuck in Rune Factory 4is there any way to move romantic events up? I tried being pure to my first waifu and I just beat chapter 2, but I've still only had 2 events.and I was wondering just how do I get off to a good start? I'm totally lost here; I've got turnips growing, and the only gifts I can give are milk, bugs, and fish because I can catch them without any effort.
What's the point of honeybees? I can't build a hive for them to make honey.
Does Ever Oasis belong here?
>>146721780
Why is that 3D character model so fucking scary?
>>146742365
Can't they just Kickstarter? I need a Rune Factory with better waifus.
>>146826045
A Wonderful Life needs that GBA Harvest Moon to be fully experienced, otherwise you're missing about 10% of the game. And there's just so much fucking walking. SO MUCH WALKING.
>>146838173
Events in RF4 are all RNG. Either you get lucky or reset until you get the event you want.
Some general tips for SoS:
-Go river diving for materials. Sell the gems you get for easy money and keep the bricks
-Seed maker is the most useful tool in the game and it requires 5 turnip seeds to build. The general store will stop selling the seeds once summer hits, so make sure to save them or you'll be fucked until next year.
-The festivals are almost unwinnable early in the game and RNG once you get far into the game. Things like the fashion contest are just bullshit.
-Honeybees are used on the special bee hive plot that you can use later. Place bees in the hive and they'll give you honey. Once winter hits the bees will all leave and you start all over in the spring.
-Be really nice to Eda. There's a potato dish she really enjoys, but I forget the name.
>>146838173
>what's the point of honeybees?
The hives (and the mushroom logs) are up for rent starting in fall. You can cultivate honey and mushrooms (duh) there. You have to fight for it to get it, though. Elise or Giorgio have it first (can't remember who exactly.)
The game starts really slow. Things start unlocking after one another as you go along. Before you know it, you're swamped with things to do.
Just take your time with it.
>>146838916
Forgot to say that the 5 turnip seeds are just part of the recipe for the seed maker. You're going to need other materials, but the seeds are easily the most important.
>>146838998
>>146838916
Good to know about the seed maker. But the General Store only sells a few kinds of seeds; do you get more from merchants?
>>146838962
Alright, I guess it'll be more relaxed than RF4.
What's the critical consensus on the latest STory of Seasons?
>>146839093
Traders will sell all sorts of seeds and tress that you'll be able to use.
The general store becomes somewhat irrelevant once you get the other traders to come to town. Early on it's real slow and you have to actually pay attention to the days that you can sell your crops, but eventually that doesn't matter since there will be at least 2 traders in town every day.
>>146839167
Currently playing it. It's pretty damn good.
>>146839349
Why does Frank have a tree growing out of his head?
>>146839406
That's how they do it in Wes town.
>>146839349
Have you unlocked Tsuyukusa yet? Curious to know how long it'll take to meet best girl.
>>146839517
Not yet. Apparently unlocks on Summer 5 and I'm only on Spring 19.
I'm going to marry the qt teacher.
>>146839619
Good choice. Personally going for Inari, but Kasumi was my second choice.
Just a quick question, but the kid in the orange suit by the bull statue is a quest giver, right? Google Translate app makes it sound like you hire people to do things and I'm not sure whether it's fucking up or not. Looks like the grandma wants grass taken care of and the farm mentor wants harvesting shit or something.
>>146839861
He offers part time jobs. Basically quick minigames for pocket change. Some of them will boot you out of the menu and start the minigame. The ones that don't are either item shipping requests or someone wants you to deliver a present to someone.
Minigames and the delivery jobs are the easiest to do.
If you take someone's delivery request they'll have a star icon over their head. After they hand over the gift the recipient will also get the star over their head, so you know to talk to them.
You'll get paid for deliveries on the next day.
>>146840179
Forgot to say that some time passes when you complete a minigame. Like half an hour.
Also, I've had instances where the person that requests a delivery doesn't acknowledge the quest or hand over the gift to be delivered. After the stores opened at 10:00 they then handed the gift over so I could start the request.
>>146840179
>>146840374
Alright, thanks.
I've started playing Rune Factory 1. Never played a Rune Factory game before; what am I in for?
>>146849304
Farming, fighting, and cute girls.
>>146849304
HM + RPG = RF is pretty much the best way to put it. good game that is improved on by its sequels.
>>146849360
>>146849474
Are there any big dos and don'ts I should be aware of that'll make my experience smoother? I've played Harvest Moon before, so it's pretty familiar so far
>>146849546
Buy sleeping bags so you can stay inside the dungeons overnight while clearing them and not catch a cold/fatigue status.
>>146849546
oh but don't stay in dungeons when the season is about to change because it can glitch your game.
Bampu
yo does the soil quality decrease if i plant crops more than twice on the same spot?
or only if i have nothin in the fertilizer bin?
>>146854460
Only if you don't stock the bin.
>>146854854
an d how about grass? (for the monster barn)
>>146854989
Same thing I imagine, though since a full field of grass can supply you with IIRC 72 fodder every ~3 days or so at regular growth speed once it hits its peak you could alternate between dumping it in the fodder bin and fertilizer bin to perpetually stock them, provided your feed requirements aren't incredibly high.
>>146849797
Not that anon, but which RFs does that apply to?
>>146857728
Looks like Pico's POV and Dolce just told her not to look up her dress or something.
>>146859656
Her dress seems pretty long. Pico would have to either go under the table or crawl on the floor to get a good look.
>>146845702
>that look of disgust
>>146862560
What is she disgusted about?
>>146863647
You'd look disgusted too if your wonderous signature hair drills/lightning bolts were sheered off for such a base and boring haircut.
>>146859380
Only RF 1 I think
>>146864395
Her signature hair is quite stunning and soft looking.
I know it's off-topic but how is this game? Worth $20?
>>146867218
Absolutely not. They should be paying you to waste your time with that mess.
>>146867218
Don't buy it its terrible and the name is only being used to lure unsuspecting people.
>>146867218
Anything post-ANB is not, and I repeat, NOT worth buying.
Unless you're the type who wantonly spends money, by all means, go. But even I wouldn't spend a centavo on this piece of shit shovelware.
Pie for the Pie God.
>>146874304
Anyone got that Mini Pai image? I forgot to save it.
>>146878726
Here ya go.
>>146878961
Thanks.
>>146878961
I wonder if anyone's ever drawn Lest confused and surrounded by mini waifus, each doing their own thing. Like a mini Forte being awkward on Lest's head as a mini Meg plays her harp at his feet.
>>146886730
I think I've seen a pic like that at some point.
>>146886730
What if Lest was a giant and everybody else was tiny ala Gulliver's Travels, and he helped them out with developing the town like the pet from Black & White if said pet wasn't a useless piece of shit?
>You will never see a giant Lest duking it out with an even-larger Grimoire like in a godzilla movie
>You will never see Lest take a running leap from the the cliff where you fight fake-Venti and take down the Floating Empire with a Chaos Dunk
>>146887957
I'm taking a wild guess here that the pixiv artist who drew that removed their account.
>>146720268
So what role does the harvest goddess have in that game?
>>146892429
Pretty sure that she manages the online aspect, but I can't test that out. She also gives you gifts for accomplishing things and teaches you about dating and marriage.
I read that someone was granted an additional heart for the stamina bar by her.
>>146892684
>harvest goddess
>teaches dating and marriage
>>146893874
Just some pointers about town customs and traditions. Veronica did the same in SoS after you see the second heart event for a girl.
>>146893874
She needs to make sure the next crop of people is coming along well.
>>146894013
So who's the one who tutors you?
Also, is it the traditional shipping box and not the market thing?
>>146896153
>So who's the one who tutors you?
You mean in basic farming? That's Frank.
Pic related is his house.
>Also, is it the traditional shipping box and not the market thing?
You have a shipping box at your farm like in past games. Something new is that you choose what town to ship things to. You increase your rank with a town by shipping things to them and in return they'll sell more things to you.
>>146896628
Why do you have 5 hearts, and I have 6? Did I pick the wrong difficulty? Could have sworn I picked the not beginner one.
>>146897148
In the character creator there's an option to give your character a bonus. The default is Sportsman which grants you an extra heart.
I chose extra money, so I started with 50,000.
>>146893874
>harvest goddess
>teaching dating and marriage
>can't even tell Alisa to breed and spawn minions
I'm mad.
>>146897389
Oh shit, so that's what it did. Was wondering what it might do.
>>146897389
>Taking the bonus temporary money option instead of the permenant stat bonus option
>In any game, ever
Son are you daft or something
>>146900374
No one knows if it's something that can't be gained later since all of the other bonuses can be gained eventually.
For all we know it just gives you a heart bonus early and you won't get a heart reward at a later time.
If it really was a bonus that you can't get any other way then it'd be the best choice, but I can't see the choices be so imbalanced.
Currently playing Trails of Cold Steel. At chapter 2. Questions for /xsfg/
1) Who's the best girl?
2) Who's the best boy?
>>146900374
>implying it's something that can't be acquired later
We're not too far deep in the game yet. It's possible that it can be acquired later, through a quest or an item.
That 50k cash is a nice headstart. You can buy the essentials with that. Not to say that an extra heart is not good, but stamina management is so piss easy that I won't need an extra heart.
Underwater RF when?I got the idea from Subnautica.
>>146906037
After Monstergirl factory, MILF factory, and MonsterMILF DLC
>>146906386
don't forget Etrian Factory: A fantasy dungeon crawler
>>146906037
>>146906386
>>146911080
What about all of that combined? Underwater, fantasy dungeon crawler, and monstergirls (mostly aquatic)?
>>146910868
Is that from dA?
>>146912103
yes and no. The pic comes from DA but girl is from the best game of all time. HM:Lost valley
>>146912313My sarcasm detector exploded on that last part.
>>146912617
you're just being jealous.
>>146742365
RF's 10th year anniversary is this august so I'm hoping for something
SoS trio of towns is almost unplayable for a filthy secondary like me. Is there like a walk through for important quests or items and menus?
>>146914661
There's a guide being worked on, but it'll probably be a while until it's anything you can actually rely on. Until then you've got to lurk the fogu forums and maybe watch some youtube lets plays.
http://fogu.com/sos2/
I've been doing pretty damn well thanks to fogu and my japanese isn't anything worth bragging about. If you've got any questions I'd be happy to help if I can.
>>146915165
Thanks for the link. I'll probably just keep playing for now and drop a few questions as I go on.
>>146913379
The girl looks cute though.
>>146914661
No it's not. Use google translate app on your phone, go learn the common words (tools, items, produce). For finding out how to raise affection points, just save scum. Save scum if you're unsure of something. That's how I've been getting by.
How diving works in SoS exactly? Is there a fixed number of things I can find in a given day or does it change?
Also the spot where you actually dive matters?
>>146918634
Should be 6 for each area. Each river area is split into two areas, usually a left and right, so you get 3 items from each side.
The river in front of the town has the bridge as a separator. Just swim up to the bridge and you'll get a prompt to swim to the other side.
The river by the farm works the same way, but there's no bridge that splits the sides.
>Also the spot where you actually dive matters?

Why is the house in SoS so ridiculously far from town? And what's the shortest route there? I always get lost on the way back.
I hope the house isn't ridiculously far away from any town in 3V.

It's better when you get your horse and carrots for fast travel.
>I hope the house isn't ridiculously far away from any town in 3V.
The first screen immediately after leaving your farm is an intersection with paths that lead to the three villages. Takes no time at all.
Traveling between the villages is what takes time.
>>146920320
The worst thing for me is that you need to pass through the riverside fields and fps always drops a bit for me there, making the trip slightly more annoying.
Speaking about fps, I have to say that the fps in 3V has been consistently good for me.
What about for you guys?
>>146920586
Do you get better transportation?
Also, a nerdy question: what's the technology level of 3V? Modern but rural? More old fashioned (no electricity)?
>>146921656
You get a horse and there's fast travel for a fee, but don't have that yet.
>Also, a nerdy question: what's the technology level of 3V?
Very old fashioned for the most part. Lulucoco feels like a village that should be filled with huts instead of actual wooden houses.
>>146922717
So no cars or electricity?
>>146932527
No cars so far. Haven't really noticed anything electrical, but I really haven't been paying attention to that. Someone probably has a proper lamp in their house somewhere.

No TV then, I take it?

Don't know. Not far enough into the game.

How's the HM Wii game (Animal Parade?)
>>146938625
It's okay, but the fps and loading times are fucking awful.
>>146939580
FPS and loading time doesn't really bug me. I'm guessing there's no voice acting though, but how's character development and depth of dialog?
>>146940358
Pretty average, but what really makes it good are amount of decent candidates and the children system that they did for this game.
>>146940516
>children system
How's that go?
>>146942984
Cute.

So instead of monsters, you're wrangling waifus for all your livestock needs like all those lewds where it's barns full of lactating women instead of cows? That could be neat if done right.
>>146953717
No news yet, though apparently it's getting close to the 10 year anniversary of the first game, so maybe soon™?
>>146953460
Anyone else think that Clorica's scared noise sounds the same as the female scared noise in Fable? You know, like when you're in the forest and bandits approach them and shit.
I think Clorica has two scared noises though...
