However, it also left the town with an obvious shortage of men. In fact, in a lot of cases the spots where I assumed would have been filled with rivals was filled with even more bachelorettes, making the bounty of available women even that much more bigger. Still, in the end, I was sorta glad that they did that since it encouraged me to actually beat this game so I could get married.Īnother element I want to address is the concept of rivals: specifically the lacking thereof. Needless to say a large amount of grinding was required on my part to level up to the necessary level to fight the demon, but that wasn’t a major pitfall for me, as leveling up is actually rather easy in this game. While this did tie in many elements, I enjoyed in the past games the ability to marry who I wanted when I wanted without having to beating the final bosses, simply because I’m not very good at RPG fighting. First, in order to offer the item “Engangement Ring”, you not only have to forge the item yourself and get the materials needed for it (Lv 20 Forging, 3 silvers and 1 ruby), you didn’t get the recipe for this item until near the end of the game, after you not only had beaten the fourth major boss (the Death Wall), but also united the Univir settlement with Sharance. While in previous Rune Factories you could marry a girl as soon as her “Heart Level” was maxed out and you gave her the appropriate gift, in this game you have to meet much more criteria to meet the girl. First of all, in order to get married you have to beat the final boss of the game. In this game, there isn’t a whole lot of change, except for a few details. Overall, this change was for the better.Ī major aspect of any Harvest Moon or Rune Factory game is the romance elements to it.
Many times there were questions on how you raised certain stats, and you don’t know which stats exist until you get some experience in them. There’s also stats to help you resist certain effects, such as poisoning, being stunned, being paralyzed, etc… The myriad of different stats seems confusing at first, but after playing the game to completion I saw its benefits as well. There are still the independent stats for cooking, forging, and fighting, but also an entire slew of new stats for Walking, Brawling, a stat for each element of magic, a Love stat, and more. This is probably one of the most significant changes to the game is how stats are given.
Let’s take a look at what mechanics were changed, and how they compare to others in the series: Many mechanics were changed, and most of them for the better. Looking at Rune Factory 3, it is clear that it is greatly upgraded from its predecessors. Now, let’s get down to the bones of this review: How does the game fare? Yep, I beat Rune Factory 3 a week or so ago, claimed Raven as my wife, and I have two kids now.
