Those charms are slightly tarnished by the paper-thin plot, uneven pacing, and an under-utilized monarchy system, but even with a few smudges on its noble. It has a plethora of things to do and a variety of ways to do them, and features some lovely graphics and catchy tunes. Watch video Rune Factory 4 is irresistibly charming. Typical JRPG tropes are delivered in quick succession and shortly after the fall you are left with amnesia, soon after this you have become the stand-in Prince(ss) of the town. The game starts you off with an unfortunate question which decides your gender, after this you find yourself aboard an airship and after a scuffle with some thugs, falling towards the town of Selphia. I was expecting a similar experience to that of Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon but what I found instead, was a game richer, and more diverse in content, allowing numerous hours to slip by unnoticed. // 5th Jan 2015 - 4 years ago // By Rune Factory 4 Review With Rune Factory 4 as my first foray into the series I was pleasantly surprised with the entry.
