Still, a lot of work for a dummy map. Almost looks like a mini game/board game, I don't remember 2's wifi being that interesting

>>4120789
You are lucky, I don't remember wifi at all.
But it looks like a very simplified, very short version of the Game of the Goose. It might be why it's was scrapped off.

Don't you just love when you discover that you made a mistake of one single case and has to redo a big part of your field? At least Rice day is there so it won't be too bad, but ye gods, some buildings. What are you expecting from me game?

I wish there were mods that put more fields, more villagers. I don't even know what villagers you need exactly to take care of 8 square of 9 cases.
I'll marry up soon, it'll be between Iroha, Ulalaka, Russian Vergil or Amaterasu. Though Kanata kind of suck in battle in term of healing, something that Ulalaka is good at.
Bah, I wish I could marry Suzu or Sakuna. Please tell me which one of them has a good post love confession storyline.

>>4120783
Very interesting. Maybe it was for some festival?

>>4120922
After a bit of digging, I do think it was for the wifi. Crazy because I only remembered the weapon crafting part

You think the machine could have handled so much characteres on screen for that?

>>4120947
is why it didnt made it into the game

>>4120913
you can date all 4 at once
i only did kanata's (and matsuri's) post confession, and both are on the cute side rather than cool. i like moe so i enjoyed it.
noja story is about growing up and leaving the nest, a continioun of her bond story if you will, but while i make it sound a big deal remember who we are talking about.
ps. you can use 'sorano' as a nickname when dating her but not after getting married, which is a symbol of how she left that chapter of her behind- at least in how i interperted it.

>>4121111
But anon, cheating is wrong.

>>4121118
It's okay, the only people in GoA who care if you cheat are Kurama and Cuilang if you start dating Kai after them.

>>4121124
Is this game for girls or what???

>>4121118
as one men in /vg/2dhgg/ said,
its not ntr if theres no ring

>>4121142
Next level, it's not sex if one the man doesn't cum inside?

>>4121148
no, next level is 'its not sex if theres no penetration'.

>>4121128
idk but it was funny seeing the girls get upset that Cuilang or Kurama was mad at them though (and try to mod it out)

>>4121151
Serious? Is the feminization of RF?

>>4121156
It's always appealed to both men and women though, on Marvelous's old website from 2 and 3's release it's a pretty even split of "I'm a man who likes these games" and "I'm a woman who likes these games"
But this isn't the place to get into a gay circular argument about it, save it for the /v/ threads

>>4121160
...I wasn't making it a gay circular argument. Just pointing out that the girls have more and better stuffs.

>>4121165
I didn't mean to imply you had already done so, I was just worried about it devolving into that sort of argument later.
Anyway, both sides have some stinkers (like Mauro, literally the bottom of the list lol) and some good picks. Subaru (male MC) also gets a bad set of events for the feMC, people were posting it back in the day and it was baffling at who thought it was a good idea. Basically the events revolve around Subaru pushing Kaguya away and implying that he was getting close with Tsubame.
Kaguya's events for Subaru are way, way better in comparison. And you just can't beat Ulalaka and Kanata. I do really like Fubuki and Kurama though.

>>4121165
maybe we aonly know it because only girls cheat. try cheating and see what happens.

>>4121156
Yes. It was a *very* masculine franchise back then.

>>4121182
>Subaru (male MC) also gets a bad set of events for the feMC
I've heard about it, mostly that Subaru was a very annoying, very pushy piece of shit, the kind of thing that could make twilight fans swoon. And I sure as hell won't be replaying it as a FeMC to see that.

>Mauro
Mauro is like Hina. And Hina can only gain some points because of her boss form. Both are hard carried by the nostalgia of RF5, because apparently people wanted that. I haven't played RF5 so I wouldn't know. Seriously their stories are nothing but nothingburgers, which is saying something.
Mauro is carried by the De Sainte-Coquille name, and the mermaid Porcoline, and I was saddened that they gave up the french accent.
Sayonara. I am Porcoline De Sainte-Coquille.

Still would piss on Kaguya's events. God I hate. I hate it I hate it I hate it, how vanilla and pushy do you want your meal sir? Iroha stay in her zone at least, and she gave me that cool fan, and I seems to be the minority. That don't get any powers or moves.
>Fubuki and Kurama though.
Fubuki's entire character is being the bestest floofy boy, and having a twin brother that he wants to kill, but strangely this brother doesn't want to kill him. while Kurama is being a shut it gamer due to trauma.
I'm surprised you haven't mentioned at least Kai, but I guess Kai is for Yachiyo.

>>4121222
fuck piririka, i wish the dlc was yachiyo instead

>>4121222
Kai is popular with women I guess, he's all right but I don't really get the appeal.

>>4121242
Kai has the 'bad boy' vibe.

>>4121237
The problem with Pililika is that she got events, but who is she? Where does she come from? What is her motivation? Her goal of life? I want to like her, but it's impossible if she is just barebone with a storyline that has nothing to do with her and just Human and Bear shouldn't kill each others. reckelessly.

>>4121242
He's a devil may care guy who love to be difficult for laughs. Worried about his race, worried about his friends too. On the outside he's a bad boy, on the inside, he's good boy, and a tsundere.

>>4121218
I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

>>4121253
I suspect that her and Cuilang are "future entry settings" bait. Probably not 6 but the games beyond.

>>4121253
If I'm remembering right, her romance events go into her family way more and she chooses you over the werebears, of course

>>4121258
So more chinese setting, or a more... I forgot which subcuture Pililka is. I'm not against it.
And speaking of Cuilang, we know his story, his backstory, his motivation, his family, even his feet. HIS FEET..

>>4121259
Wait a minute, are you telling me that Pililika isn't a person able to speak to animals but is in fact a werebeast? If so, this change things, not a whote lot, but still.

>>4121253
Pililika is a bear.

>>4121262
Pililika is ainu, they are less a subculture of japan and more like a nation that used to share the island with them but got ereased.

>>4121263
Holy shit, this explains so much. They could have done a reveal like with Cuiland though instead of having a whole arc around how killing the nice bear is bad.

>>4121266
I learned something, I genuinely though it was just a sort of... different japanese branch.

>>4121270
she even has cute little bear ears under her hat :)

I love a guy who's supportive of me going out and kicking ass. And as for that thing with Kurama and Cuilang it's cause Kai has an event where he's so excited about dating the MC that he goes around autumn village introducing them as their girlfriend(or boyfriend i guess if you're into that) to everybody and of course if you dated the other two beforehand they'll have a reaction to that.

>>4121312
Doesn't Yachyio explain it's out of self consciousness?

For me, the biggest turn-off in piririka is the way they implemnted her as a marriageale character. the very first thing she did in her bond story was push (you) on the ground (its not subaru, its (you), notice camera angles) and im like girl wait untill we know each other better. it calmed down later on but she still felt like she doesnt belong to the rest of the story, like hers is a complete standalone. and while a lone hunter may be part of her character, being a lonely person doesnt mean she has to alone, look at kurama. he is a loner but his stories still include plenty of characters. he is part of the story. cuilang manages to blend in, somehow; pirika just feels like an afterthought which is a pity, i wish they took their time with the dlc if she was gonna get such a shallow story.

>>4121729
This IS Rune Factory after all.

At least we can tell that Pililika is as much of a degenerate as Cuilang. Pililika rides you, Cuilang shows you his feet.

Hmm, I dunno, RF4 had really shitty storylines. RF1 was more basic than basic-it was minimal.

Say, how do you make the milk and eggs into max levels in GoA? I know leveling the monsters give them a higher tier, but not a higher level.
Apparently?

>>4122705
It's friendship/hearts

>>4122721
They have friendship in GoA?

>>4122723
Maybe I'm misremembering and it's level based too, my bad

>>4122738
I was confused because try as I might, I saw no sign of friendship or hearts. Apparently it's all level based.
Which is a bit annoying if you want to have Fur or Eggs of lesser tier for quests.

Well there's one in from of town as well, so I think they might be for teleportation, not sure why they're sculpted after an owl though. There's also a mailbox in front of the house, so they're not for that.

>>4123672
I'm confused as to why they would need so many spots though now.

>What do these frogs do?
Nta but you use the Dance of Bounds on them and get one or multiple recipes. It's also one of the "Gotta Catch them all" sidequests.of the game.
And the last of them are behind the postgame. Spoiler alert:It's a problem because you need to get married to unlock the postgame lmao.

I'm starting to think Kanata is the moe girlfailure route, which is funny, but one note.
I fully mastered Sacred Treasures and Practical Abilities but I really wish there were more because sheesh, I have 2794 Cooking XP, and 6512 Social Activities that does absolutely NOTHING. I also maxed Short Swords, Long Swords, and on my way to finish Dual Blades, Evasion and Hyperfocus are soooo good.
I'm not sure which one I prefer, Long Swords or Dual Blades.

A funny thing I noticed is that the Matsuri Hanabi of Concord has a fire visual effect, it's pretty neat. I wish other elemental weapons had that. It might also be why the Woolies I recruited have no furs on their bodies.

Every Villages has 100 except Winter who is always at 60 --except when I wind a contest there but then it drops back to 60. Dunno why. I only have a few missions to do.

>>4124904
You might not technically have enough houses in Winter, I remember that happening to me.

>>4124922
Technically?

>>4124928
I remember it not saying that I was short on houses and giving me a completely different message when the game ACTUALLY meant I was short on houses.

File: I now see the problem..png (1.31 MB, 1600x900)

I think I see the problem, I have 23 Villagers. On the middle zone I have a Humble House (6 Villager), 5 Merchants around, on the upper zone I have three merchants and a Thatched Roof Cotage (3 Villagers), on the left side I have one Izakaya and two Humber Houses (4 per houses), on the western zone I have not much, just a Large Barn with a villager working. Still figuring out what to do with the Winter Village, it's tigher than Summer. So that's a clear 17 housing for 23 Villager. It's bad calculation and forgetfulness on my part.
Plus the other villages, even Summer, has access to Exotic Houses, so obviously they got a lot of places.
And who thought it was a good idea to make the Exotic and Zephyr Houses so big? And the last one so big AND useless?

I have 23, 25, 25 and 23 Villagers per village respectively. They really don't want to give the best ones, I only got some of the best Loggers & Miners, yare yare.

Calm down, you were both in bathsuits.

I'm a bit disappointed the Kanata's dates, at first it start off good, but it pretty much become a crying fest that isn't really solved, she's still a crybaby. A cute crybaby.
Iroha's first two dates are a bit boring, they squabble for the dumbest things and then Suzu go somewhere, so you and her will spy on Suzu. My guy, that last date better be the mother of all date because I'll drop her like a potato.
Ulalaka's first date, it's obvious that what she said about Human/God relationships is working her up and just can't ignore it. I'm hopeful, I'm hopeful, is this the second coming of Meg?! We also discover that she has no futon, but a lot of empty sake bottle. My gal...

Japs have weird customs, plum tree, plum branch and Special Sake.

>>4125817
meg is a cheerfull onee-san who puts on a brave front, i think the closest goa gets to her is in either ulalaka or hina.
t. romanced neither

since you are gonna be a manwhore, try hina too (and all the boys while you are at it, you know, collector's pride)

>>4126274
Speaking off, I've seen mods about the kids having horns, ears and even eyes. Don't get get that sort of things normally? Why does Hina has horns.

Understandable. Harvest Moon, Stories of Seasons and Rune Factories aren't series that are friendly to replay, but GoA would be an even bigger problem.

>>4126530
>>4125817
at any rate, meg is meg. if you try to marry 'meg' in goa you will just be misrable. get a girl you can like for who she is and not for how closely she resembles meg, because that resemblance will make the lack of meg even more jarring.

>>4126533
I liked Meg because one, she's an elf, elves are good, and because she has the best storyline. Dude is human and is going to die young, but girl isn't and is going to outlive him. When good old Porco gently but firmly put the problem in front of her, she panic, run away, and encounter a monster who steal her voice, but lived the exact same problem as her, except in the worst way possible, she believe her man abandoned her when he just died and left a message in a bottle in hope she would get it.
Compared to literally every other storylines, Forte can't be the knight because of sexism, Xiao's dad retarded ass keikaku of he should kill himself and his family too, Clorica's my family are hyperactive unllike me who slowactive so I'm angry because you are acting like them making decisions for me, whatever the hell Amber is, and Dolce's parents issues and her communication problems... Meg isn't just a diamond in the rough, she is a fucking star in the rough. This metaphor make absolutely no sense and I'm glazing Meg way too much but hopefully you'll get my point.

The fact that she may be the best companion is just a bonus. Best is relative since humans characters sucked by end and postgame. Even the monsters spsince they are so random in their attacks. Meg spam bravo and heals a lot, it's hard to mess that up.
It's something they really should solve in future games because they haven't really done so in GoA. Some characters even misses their attacks! Hello Matsuri. Strongest god my ass, more like jobber god. She's lucky she is cute.

Is it me or is the concept of enhancing your gear kind of stupid, costy and useless? Only gear I thought about enhancing was the Adventurer's Caps I kept on the head of everyone because of Rare Drop Boost but even that
And why did they think that making forging normal things and talismans separately was a good idea, on top of the magatama being such a paiiiiiin.

>>4127050
They needed a gold sink

>>4127078
That's a stupid ass gold sink.

>>4127079
I didn't say it was a good one

>>4127090
There's a money sink, it's called crafting and building.
One thing they could have done is to make elemental pauldron having identical stats, so when you fight something that use an element and get blasted, you would actually think of upgrading one of them instead of having such a gap of DEF and MADEF for all them and the element not mattering; And for things like weapons, you could upgrade them, not like in RF4, but simillar, you could custom them, decide what boost they could have, what they could look like, maybe even adding effects or elements.
Of course, the game would need to be more difficult for it.

Good grief, my head was stuck with Adventurer's Hat and my accessory slot with Lucky Loupe, until I replaced it with Lucky Ring. For the entire game, occasionally changing the pauldron.

How close are we to a properly moddable RF4? Things like, expanding the seasonal fields so the summer plot isn't a tiny 4x4 while winter gets a shitload of space. And how possible would it be to put all of these RF1-3 maps into RF4 and make them playable? Are there ways to do this with AI?

>>4128731
You are making me achieve max hearts with those words. Better not be too hopeful though.

>>4128731
It's probably possible with AI. That was how I was able to finally get the maps extracted in the first place. I didn't want to step on the other guy's toes by making an AI tool as he's working on a real one though, but he posted in the modding discord yesterday that he wasn't able to finish it before his wife had their baby (allegedly)
so once I'm done with my current list of stuff, I might take a crack at it.

Well, I guess it's that far off now.

You know, it would be really cool if you could, encounter the family of the bachelors or bachelorettes. No, Xiao Pai doesn't count and her faceless piece of shit dad can fuck himself.
Sure, there are more or less legitimate excuses as to why you wouldn't see them, but it hurts my immersion. You marry someone, you joined a family, sometime small, sometime big, only to never see them.
Pre-RF4 games were better about it, iirc.

Yeah, I wish I could see this too, but they probably can't justify art resources unless they plan on adding them as proper town residents. Clorica implies her family is hard on her for her slowness, and Vishnal I think has a fuck ton of siblings that he references. Wish I knew what Dolce's parents looked like, especially given they appear as ghosts in her marriage event.

>>4129067
If there's a will, there's a way. I'm not expecting to see the entire De Sainte Coquille Dynasty, but at least some effort.

>>4129067
This is why RF should've remained a top down franchise with low poly 3D and pre-rendered backgrounds. It allowed them to focus more on gameplay systems and less on fancy visuals. Bringing a character from a previous game was pretty cheap since you just needed a low poly model, some very basic animations, a couple of short voiced lines and a 2d portrait. With high resolution models and cinematic cutscenes it's a lot of work. They're clearing lacking the budget to pull it off.

>>4129080
I'm curious as to what they could do with a future GoA like, more polished, without the constant babying and sheer how can you be so easy.
But yeah, once again RF4 did everything right and one of the many reasons for it is that they spent years to perfect the fomula, which could have been even more perfected.
The devs from post RF4 era had to do everything on their own instead of just looking at RF4 and stufying what made it so good.

>>4129086
They've never made a sequel to any of the spin offs have they? I wonder if they'll ever do it. Also a shame portable consoles died, since it allowed low budget games to shine. Now everyone has to fight for the same turf.

Wouldn't other spinoffs like Tides an GoA kinda tie into what was said here? They just didn't call it Frontier. Numbered installments are in Norad proper, others are away (although it seems like Fenith is part of Norad, guessing by presence of de Sainte-Coquille family on the island).

>>4130000
Yeah, you're right, though Fenith is definitely close enough/part of Norad, you can see it in RF4 through the binoculars (if I'm remembering correctly).

Speaking of Frontier, today I've learned how powerful Riivolution patching is. I'm going to take a look into restoring the Japanese-exclusive content that got cut for the international release.

>>4127908
That's actually how it went for me. You make gear that are enough to hurt the pranass, git gud, evade, pray that you won't get a backshot, repeat step 1 until you finished.

I have memories of my 3DS saves where I had the most uber optimized and maxed gears, allowing me to absorb elements, and one shot everything, but all it took was one single hit of something that I did NOT resist and ayo-bye-bye.
It's too funny for me to be mad.

Pililika's storyline is now higher on my tierlist. It's not peak literature but gosh dang it does it gives her depth to her. Abandoned by her parents, raised up by another but the rest of her village didn't like her because she was so tiny, when the Big Black Wolf came in and killed a lot of people, they counted on HER for food, which she hated, so she used the excuse of revenge against BBW to get the fuck out.
Even if she is being a major dumbass leaving No one dislike her in our villages.

Now I have several questions:
Can I bite her ears? Can she transform into a squeezable bear? Can she actually do something with those spirits? Why does she talk about having a muscular body when everyone she isn't fucking toned when in swimsuit.
A more serious answer, why don't the VA use the petnames choosen?

>>4130496
Weren't there golden cabbages and stuff? If I recall correctly those were meant to produce more runeys right?

>>4130554
There were golden cabbages plus a bunch of accessories that appear in the other games like the happy ring, the star and sun pendants, the hachimaki/bandana, the champion belt, the magic earring, I think magic crystals were also sort of a part of the cut system (as in you'd get more than what you can get in the US version so you actually could craft shit)
And a few weapons I think. It's hard to find the specific list of everything that was dummied out or cut

>>4130558
Damn, I wonder what happened. I mean, the content was already there so why would they even remove it? Really weird decision.

>>4130558
To correct my magic crystal thing: the cut letter system was the only way to get high level magic crystals, so you pretty much couldn't upgrade staffs higher than like what, level 5?
>>4130560
No idea why they cut it. The Japanese version basically had letters you needed to type in a password for. The passwords were in the Japanese manual.
Maybe they couldn't get it to work right? Who knows.

>>4130561
The letter system was really fun. It was nice to receive letters from NPCs even if the content wasn't all that interesting sometimes. I wish they had explored it further.

>>4130564
Hey didn't they do that in Harvest Moon? It was super fun to receive letters.

Long life and all that. It's not deep but it's something. Hopefully she'll stop mentioning it after the bonus dungeon.

She doesn't really look 90s to me. I picked that artist because he's good at doing that clean cel-shaded look, among other reasons.

He almost exclusively draws style accurate Girls und Panzer fanart, so she should look more 2010ish than anything else, and RF4 came out around the same time.

More optimizations, meaning more stats-actually good stats- more money, more items-if you have too much monster items like fur or wool or whatever you can sell them for a surprising lot. I noticed that Farmers are surprisingly shitty and only good at watering and harvesting, which is only great if you have lvl 9 seeds
Merchants and Anglers? They make the real cash. Herder too depending of the level of the items.

The build I actually want? I actually just want to make pretty things, my need to put everything everywhre is just a byproduct.

It's a common problem with games where you can build your own things. Most of the time, the roads are bad looking AND most of the official stuff use the lowest road.

when rf2 came out, the ganre was still niche- it probably didnt even get called 'cozy life sims' then. when rf5 came out, it was after stardew valley and the corona populurized it and it was swamped by pedophobes normies.
speaking of which, normies are the reason such games are called 'sv clones' and not 'rf clones'. i get it that sv is the bigger game, but its creator himself said he was influanced by rf, plus hm was much bigger before natsume ran its reputation to the ground

>>4135305
It doesn't help that RF4 brought a lot of people into the franchise.
Harvest Moon, I remember when I played the games, before they did the whole one step forward, two steps backwards. Which is why Stardew Valley will always be the superior game compared to HM. Unless a HM came in to challenge that perception. Yes, I'm still pouty about it.
Can't wait for the last update of Stardew Valley by the way. It will be so bittersweet but this is life. I hope the dev will live happily with his wife.

>and it was swamped by pedophobes normies.
More like wanabe pedophobes normies. Back in my days, people had a thicker skin, now they are jellyfishes.

>>4135310
>Which is why Stardew Valley will always be the superior game compared to HM
Nah, SV is a game that tries to please everyone, it has no opinion or direction. Not to mention the characters are very bland. HM peak is much higher.

>>4135322
>Nah, SV is a game that tries to please everyone
I always thought it was a game that just did everything right. Like RF4. First time I saw that opinion. Interesting.

>>4135326
I've seen it quite a few times. It's kinda like skyrim, without mods it's really kinda lame and the ugliness becomes more apparent. Which is why a SV2 would likely fail really hard. It would add nothing new and there's a lot more competition out there now. Not to mention it would take a lot of time for mods to be made for it.

>>4135329
I disagree, if only or the comparison for Skyrim, you need to mod Skyrim for the game to be genuinely interesting, where Stardew Valley is good from the get go, and doesn't need mods to be anything but a sandbox game.
Not that it's free from criticism. It is Harvest Moon-like. But I'm not sure if the competition is all that good.

I finished the post game dungeon of GoA.
I kind of liked the revelation that Mihoshi Habaki was a super computer left behind by the actual Viatrea, and that Gods are just mortal creatures picked up for the job... mortal, considering that Kurama is implied to be a Tengu...
This actually explains why the Underworld is so developed technologically, it's not just one Celestial Collapse that happened, but four. The timeline is quack though. 50 years ago, but Sakaki mention it happened when he was Suzu's age, on top of that Kurama's storyline is about him protecting childrens years ago, but the child from back then is now an old man. It doesn't add up They also got enough time to make a capital, how? It's also weird how only Azuma has this problem of an apocalypse coming and down, and also cheapen the effect of immortality have on the relationship. They aren't that old.
I can quite explain why the MC is chosen to replace Mihoshi Habaki, but it's the logical conclusion of being the chief of everything.

I liked and disliked the Trials, it's fun to have something actually challenging, I actually died to them, but it's also a big number fest more than anything, with them introducing a new type kind of Magatama, Berserker and Fortress that are replacing anything you have.
I was kind of disappointed by the final tier of gears too especially the last Long Sword and Talisman. Long Sword only has 300 more ATK than the last Short Sword, and the last Talisman has for reason unknown, only has 2 magatama and is Dark elemental. There isn't much fun to be found in them, and that pauldron is almost a troll.
Heaven Asunder actually look like Murakumo/Kusanagi for once!

GoA isn't RF4, but it's definitely a fun game. I hope the next one will be better and allow us to have more fun, to fail, to get knocked out, to do more. It's pretty clear that the devs poured their soul into it.

>>4136178
I don't think the capital was rebuilt, it's implied to have survived, maybe due to magic or other shenanigans.
Azuma is not the only place with the impending apocalypse problem. In Adonea, the only thing stopping a Celestial Collapse tier event is Venti. Venti says as much when she's talking about her own death. She is the one maintaining the runes, and when she runs out of runes, she dies and a new Native Wind Dragon will eventually take her place. Sound familiar?
And since Venti has been kept alive for anywhere between an extra few centuries to an extra millennia, there has been no collapse in Adonea. But there was supposed to have been, technically.
We don't know about the elves, I assume they have their rune balance under control.
Arguably, Azuma's shit is extra fucked up because Viatrea kicked out the Wild Gods who lived there originally so s/he could do their weird divine human shenanigans that got them kicked out of Adonea originally (this part is only assumed but in 4 Venti straight up says that humans should never be immortal gods.) So that could be another reason why Azuma is so unstable in comparison to the rest of the world, the artificial gods just might not be as good at their job as the natural equivalent.

It's very cheap to have apocalypses that destroyed the contries, forcing people to go away, only to have the big town conveniently surviving, even just once.

But Venti and co are natural, on top of doing their jobs... mostly Venti and Terra, so it seems to be fine as opposed to in Azuma, it makes me wonder what the Wild Gods were, but they must have been bad for Vitrae
It's a bit refreshing to see that the East are actually the ones keeping the peace and or making things better, instead of having them used metaphorically as something that corrupt the government/world or something.

>We don't know about the elves, I assume they have their rune balance under control.
I always assumed that the Elf Kingdom was in Adonea.

>but in 4 Venti straight up says that humans should never be immortal gods
I mean, Kurama is a tengu, Fubuki is a dog, so TECHNICALLY... it might actually be worse! And The Hound too

Well, we don't know much about the wild gods other than a little bit of dialogue and (maybe?) these talisman descriptions:
>Holy Terra Talisman: talismans which sealed away the powers of the Azure Dragon, divine guardian of spring
>Holy Tempest Talismans: Talismans which sealed away the powers of the White Tiger, divine guardian of autumn
>Holy Split Sea Talisman: Talismans which sealed away the powers of the Black Tortoise, divine guardian of winter

Unfortunately in official comics where Fiersome had a chance for characterization he is narcoleptic, even lazy, the exact opposite of tenacious Matsuri.
Wasn't the real reason he slumbers in RF2 due to the MC beating him back to sleep over and over? Kinda weird to turn him into a lazy dude.

He was asleep before Kyle, he woke up and was like "damn it's been a really long time, I guess it's time to finally do my job and destroy everything" but then Kyle showed up and said "no way fag"

Fiersome's thing is literally waking up and destroying everything, only to have someone, Kyle or his kid saying lolno.
Or being tamed by being feed tons of Gold Juice in RF4.

I'll date the boys once I'm done with getting my Subaru to marry all the girls.
Would also download the Harder Hard Mode mod so my Kaguya playthrough would play out differently.

I wonder how hard the mod actually is

village in the shade got its english patch, been enjoying it so far
I think this might be the farming game I've wanted for awhile, albeit no romance
