I can't think of any qualms I have with the game though there is this weird thing with the

One thing the game must be commended for is easing the player in properly without feeling like it's holding your hand too much or spoon-feeding you

This is a good game if you like collecting things, farming (or harvest moon style games in general), RPGs, and lots of lore and fantasy.

Flawless game, puts normal harvest moon to shame in fun and lack of silly things

The whole thing suffers from a weird, washed out colour palette that makes everything feel even more tired, but the squares of farmland you gain access to are so token and

well the only thing that could improve it really

Also, one more thing, Xseed never promised a set release date from the start.

There are so many wonderful things about this game that I'd make this review super long if I listed and spoke about each one

One thing that I didn't take advantage of much in the other Rune Factory games, is befriending a monster and taking it with me to fight

Great game real similar to animal crossing but some things are harder to accoplish like the whole marriage thing.

Other nice things?

The best thing about this game however, is the freedom you are given right at the beginning

Some of them ended up being quite different from what I had expected, and thats a good thing

The nice thing is that if you have already fulfilled this earlier, it counts it as having been completed.

Unfortunately, this is both a bad and good thing

I cannot say enough great things about this game

There are a few things I wish I could change, but overall I enjoy it tremendously and it has great replay value

They just want to kill things, solve a puzzle, whatever.

It works much better than Rune Factory 1, where the player often had no idea where to get their tools or had to do silly things like tilling land in a cave to gain a permit to the next area

One of my favorite things about this game is being able to date/marry other characters

It certainly wasn't the case, and I disliked the way in which I felt forced to have to fight in the game to gain more farming things

It works much better than Rune Factory 1, where the player often had no idea where to get their tools or had to do silly things like tilling land in a cave to gain a permit to the next area

but there's still so much to do!Seriously, can't say enough good things about RF4

One of the best things is that the townspeople very rarely repeat a piece of dialogue, which really brings the town to life.

The thing that bothers me the most (don't hate me) is Frey's (female protagonist) armor

These point are then use to upgrade many things from your backpack, to acquiring licenses for you to do things like cook, and even to expand the town itself like raising shops
