    Thank you! It has always been a MASSIVE pet peeve of mine when the art style of a series shifts wildly from game to game. I always thought I was just a bit odd for feeling so strongly about that.

      The first was always my favorite character portrait-wise, and Frontier to a lesser extent. I liked the soft, earthy colors and I think it tried the hardest to emulate the official artwork, which I’ve always really loved.

    I agree with your opinion about the overworld.
    I actually too prefer the overworld of the older titels. It was so charming. It had a picture book quality too it. I wish delevopers could understand that not everything has to be open world, especially if its empty and the graphic is not the best. It cheapens the look of the game so quickly /: Nevertheless im still excited for the new game and i want to support it. Dont want them to go bankrupt again lol

      I second this, but I think what I'm saddest about is the fact that the villager doesn't physically meet up when there's an event anymore, it's just a marker on the map and cut into the cutscene, I feel like the charm of the older game is the fact that you see a character running to gather somewhere mean that there's a town event going on.

    I'm just in love with Rune Factory, grew up playing it and took me so long that I became an adult when I realized why we always start off with no memories of who we are, because the game is about making new memories, forming friendships and love. such a simple yet beautiful feel-good series.
    while i enjoyed Frontier and Oceans (japanese version) for being different, I much prefer the old school rpg style top-down view of the numbered titles. it just has a unique charm to it.

    • @Food4Dogs
      @Food4Dogs  2 роки тому +17

      I'm the same - I prefer the old-school style. I know why they made the leap into open world 3D ... and I hope it pays off for them in terms of attracting new players. But it also makes it feel a bit like every other JRPG that's built on Unity out there (know what I mean?).

    I absolutely agree with your point about the loss of "worldmaps" or over world maps in modern games, it may have been done originally as a technology limitation, but there's nothing wrong with using it deliberately, especially if you don't intend to actually put anything interesting on the long slogs from one point of interest to another in a "proper" open world game.

    Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny was my first ever life sim and is still one of my favorite games of all time. When I saw Rune Factory 5 was returning to 3D, I knew I had to get it to try and recapture that magic of falling in love with a fictional cast like never before. I believe I can hear the Wind Shrine theme when you started opening the box!

      Yay another fan of Tides Of Destiny. Ya I bought 5 for the same reason since Tides Of Destiny was the last Rune Factory game I played hmm maybe 3 but it was to combat focus for me. Tides Of Destiny had the balance for me to enjoy farming and combat. Really enjoyed catching all the monsters and trying to woo the samurai lady who insist they are a dude.just running to her with sushi in hope she will love me lol.plus the whole story part of your best friend stuck in the body than have amnesia. Plus it's nice you can woo your friend a little so you could merry her hm I think you can also play as her.

    I just found your channel, it's so nice to find an older adult who also likes games. I love Rune Factory & have played about all the titles with my kids while they were growing up. When my youngest adult son found out RF5 was coming out he bought me a copy. I've been loving the newest game in the series & I hope to see more of them in the future. I like Runes much better than the Harvest Moon & Story of Seasons series.

    I had never thought about the menu-ing in Switch games as opposed to DS/3DS until you mentioned it, but now I'm thinking on it.
    I think a big advantage the dual screens had was that you could put some of the heavier menu-ing on the bottom screen, while keeping the top screen free and clear for actual gameplay, or vice versa.

    • @Food4Dogs
      @Food4Dogs  2 роки тому +5

      Ofc the 3DS screens are smaller than the Switch's - so there was a need to organise things that way. But still.

    Rune Factory 3 was my absolute favorite title as a child, I played an absurd amount of that game. Characters were charming, the gameplay loop was compelling and the farming sim/upgrade system was years and years ahead of its time.
    I thought Rune Factory 4 was also fantastic on the 3DS; I have very fond memories of being quite sick when it came out and it kept me good company while I was bedridden. To this day I have hundreds of hours on the original 3DS release, and have completed a playthrough on the switch DX version as well.
    Very excited to see what the newest release has to offer and indulge in a little bit of nostalgia

I've played games as a male protagonist (like Batman in Arkham Asylum and a few of the Far Cry games) but because Rune Factory is very much about relationships you build with the villagers I just want to play a girl.

    Hearing your experience of the Rune Factory series was very wholesome - I found it to be really informative, containing just the right balance of information to get an understanding of what the franchise is all about without spoiling it for newcomers or people such as myself who haven't played a game like this in the long while.
    I've dabbled here and there in the Rune Factory series so I'm no aficionado just mostly tried it out of curiosity and found them to be enjoyable games overall.
    Your video has inspired me to go out and try Rune Factory 5 especially with the transition towards full 3d Graphics this time so I'm excited to see how this will affect the overall feel and look of the game. To draw a reasonable comparison I'm gonna get Rune Factory 4 also.
    Thank you so much and here's hoping you really enjoy the fifth entry and in turns out to be a proper gem of a game for you.
    I really appreciate your videos so I hope to hear more about the Rune Factory series and any other games you enjoy or are diving into at this point in time. Some of this will definitely require me to backtrack and scour through your previous videos and I'm anticipating doing that.
    Thank you so much and hope you have a pleasant day.

    I like your point about the issues with open world games. I haven’t been able to articulate why I can grow tired and impatient when I play in an open world game. I think your point has brought to light the reason. It is tiring and unnecessary if it is not well designed and does sometimes feel like filler. I have not played enough of Rune Factory 5 to comment if it is the case there. So far the environments are smaller in scope.
    Nice video. It’s always enjoyable to see you light up about a loved series. That very glow is what inspired me to discover the Atelier series.

    I was really looking forward to seeing you make a video on the game! I also got the Earthmate edition, after loving my time with RF4 on the 3DS. Diving into 5 there's definitely some short comings and rough edges that I really hope do get patched. With that said, the charm and relaxing vibe is still there for me, which is great to see. Really looking forward to hearing your thoughts as well!

    A new Britta video, what a wonderful surprise for my Saturday night 😊 you somehow manage to make unboxings so engaging with your insights into the series history and your careful way of displaying each item. Unfortunately I missed out on the preorder window for this edition here in Australia, saw that the North American/Earthmate edition became available on Amazon on launch day and jumped on it. I'm very excited to receive mine in a few weeks, with that excitement only slightly dampened when I remembered that being the NA edition, it would be missing the standard game box and cover. Why they continue to have this difference with many limited editions I'll never know, I'm just hoping I'll be able to source the cover art in a few months and print it myself.

    • @Food4Dogs
      @Food4Dogs  2 роки тому +2

      Oh, good thinking to jump on the US edition! Thank goodness the Switch is not region locked.
      Yea, it doesn't come with the standard game case .. but otherwise identical. Apart from the cartridge! It has a tiny green band printed on it that says "Earthmate Edition". Ours has "Limited Edition" printed on that green band (I needed to zoom in to see it).
      Also, the NA cart looks more appealing, with the image of a Woolie on it!

    As always, it was a delight watching your video! I think I was the one who asked you if there's a difference between the cardboard/packaging of RF 4 and RF 5 LEs..? It's interesting that Marvelous/XSEED didn't change the packaging for the Europe edition.
    I just received my Earthmate Edition today, and straight away, I noticed that the cardboard was thicker. The box itself is slimmer and a tad wider than RF 4's Archival Edition. It also opens through the bottom, not on the side as per your video. :O

    I think that 2008 picking up Rune Factory 2 was my first JRPG and farming sim! I really loved it, played Rune Factory 3 as well because of it. What struck me about it, even now- is that it still keeps the heart and soul of the franchise alive. I mean, the fact that I remember the style of the art from so long ago that I recognize it instantly says a lot to me. It's a very charming little series and it does such a great job of setting out to do exactly what it means to.
    I tend to play games that are more intense nowadays- stuff like Elden Ring, Othercide, and other grimmer titles. Something about Rune Factory has me looking at getting 5 even after all of these years. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the game, I just subscribed!
    Also I love your plushies they're so cute!

    Always a good time when youtube tells me you've updated. Fond memories of rune factory 3, never got around to 4, but I'm definitely going to pick up 5 when my finances allow me to. It's been a good time with Elden Ring but I'm pulling up on finishing that behemoth of a game - it is *seriously* too big a game, I swear - and I think rf5 would be exactly the soothing balm after that intensity xD.
    Always great to hear from you, the first video of yours I found was the one about your journey into gaming. Shared it around everywhere because your style is excellent and easygoing. Thank you for the videos, and if by chance you've read this, the minute or so of your time and attention. Stay safe!

      RF5 does suffer from some performance issues, sadly.

    I've been a big JRPG player for years, but some reason I'd never tried out the RF series until I picked up RF5 a few months ago. I've heard from lots of people it's not the best in the series but I've really enjoyed it so far. There's something so comforting about running around a small town farming and hanging out with the townsfolk that you see every day. I might have to pick up RF4 at some point!
